interest Of the Indians, where several chiefs
were sitting upon the stage 10
lend tone 70 the occasion. The audience
asked that the Indians give the war-whoOp.
They shook their heads. Again came the
request and again Il was refused. The
third time the request was made and finally
the chairman OF the meeting had TO inform
the audience that Indians never did any
thing for effect. They couldn't give the
war whOOp unless they were on the war
path. A bright idea suddenly struck tne
chairman, and he said rs long as they
couldn't have the .war-whoop, they would
have the next best thing, Praise Cod
Nov" said Father Clark. 1.-THE Chris
tian Endeavor Society doesn't believe
praise God is the next best thing 70 an IN
dian war WhOop. 10 is the first ard test
thing above everything else"
oRGASIZATIoN THE WORD.
The preacher spoke strongly In favor Of
organization. Individuality in spiritual
things, he said. is q very good thing, but
organization is better. He urged the young
people not to be afraid Of committee work.
He suggested committees to see that the
prayer meetings are better attended, social
committees to see that no wall flowers
are hanging around, committees to look
after the strangers in the city and commit
tess to visit the sick and carry them fruit
and flowers.
Father" Clark told many amusing incl
dents which kept the audience in good
humor.
His language was elegant and bis address
was deeply devout throughout. He urged
upon his hearers to work hard for Christ.
They would find pleasure in the work.
People don't have TO go to dance halls, bar
rooms or other such places for amusement. II
they would work within tue statutes Of God
for his purposes they will find the grandast
pleasure. All the evangelical churches are
coming into the society's fold, said Father"
Clark, because they find it is adapted to
their needs. 1t is a society which is flexible
and is known everywhere. 1t is in the
United States navy and among the soldiers
on the frontier. 1t is as strong as steel.
LOYAL ORGANIZATION.
God has blessed the movement because it
is loynl-loyal 70 a definite object. The
pledge so often talked about is a covenant,
a promise TO do something for Christie be
true to ones own church aud the confession
of the Lord Jesus Christ This, said be. IL
the backbone, the gist or whatever one
chooses to call it, Of the Christian Endeavor
society. The society Is not deDominational.
IL only asks each TO be true to his own
church and works in harmony with the
teachings II all.
Father" Clark thanked God for the inter
UNCONVENTIONAL fellowship brought about
by the Christian Endeavor Society. It
teaches the young people that there is one
God for us ell and a common heavenly home
as we'll.
Father Clark spoke Of the pleasing mot
toes which he has seen in the church re-
Gently. In a church In Wisconsin he saw
on the walls WISCONSIN for Christ" lie
saw a similar motto in Missouri. He pre-
dic;ed that before many years the cry will
go up from America "rbe country for
will be followed shortly by the "World for
Christ"
SAVANNAH FOR CHRIST.
At the conclusion Of Father" Clark's
address Mr.. Reppard asked that the congre.
CATION arise and in silent prayer offer ''Sa-
vannah to Christi This was complied
with at once and the congregation remained
standing in prayer several minutes.
The choir sang hymn, after which Mr.
Bowman made the announcements for to-
day, and the services were brought to g
close by the singing of the doxology.
Rev. W. W. Wadsworth Of Augusta will
preach to the convention tonight at s
O'Clock on temperance, treating of local
subjects to show what room there is in So.
vannah for Improvement. Mr.. Wadsworth
is the clergyman who recently raised such q
sensation in Augusta by his war from the

port at to-day's session.
