Recalled-Good News for Chris
tian Workers.
The Y.P. S. G. E. held its regular quar-
terly meeting at the Central Presby-
terrain church last night at s o'clock. The
feature of the meeting was the reading
of reports from the delegates who at
tended the recent great convention at
Montreal. The first vice president,
Rev. w. w. Dawley presided. In open
ing the meeting he expressed the plea
sure he felt in seeing gsuch a
number present ON such very warm
evening.
The first paper read was by Rev. G.
S. Reynolds. "Montreal'S Welcome"
This he said. began long before they
reached the city. One hundred miles
out the white-capped representatives of
the city met them, and extended a most
hearty welcome. The picture of this
welcome we will recall for the enter
tainment of our grandchildren. 1t
was Catholic welcome in the
widest sense of the word. The pastors
OF the city had been assembling them
selves together for months to pray for
the success OF that convention, and the
success of this invasion of CANADA by
this army of Christ. The priests had
been charging their people to welcome
us and see what they could learn from
us. The convention was international
and the Union Jack and the stars and
stripes we're mingled on every hand.
The mayor gave Us the keys of the city.
The Y. NJ. G. A. welcomed us. We
were told that we could be entertained
denominationally if we wished, each
after the desires of our own churches.
Mr.. Reynolds referred to the incident
of the threatened mob, saying that it
was caused by some remarks of Rev.
Carmarker, of India. who had said some
thing about the regard that the Catho-
lies had for their images being like that
of the heather for his gods. Mr.. Car
marker had never said one fourth of
what had been attributed to him. The
members of that convention were
ladies and gentlemen, and would not
have thought of going as guests to a
city so strongly Catholic and then saying
any discourteous thing of their church.
He then told of gathering of repre-
sentative delegates on Mount Royal
who sang God Save the Queen" and
My Country IT'S of Thee" then joined
hands and sang that beautiful hymn,
"Blcst be the tie that DiAdS."
Growth of the Society.
Coward Christian Endeavor," was
the title of the next paper by Miss JeS-
sic Young. The Christian EndeavOr
Society has celebrated Its twelfth
anniversary. 1t has 25,2S4 soci-
cites and an aggregate of 1,577, 040 mem
bers. 1t was started twelve years ago
by Rev. Willistou, of Portland, Me. 1t
has contributed nearly 81, 100000 to mis-
sion work. The society has been critI-
clSed as not having definite aim. Its
mission is to put young life blood into
the church and into all the various So
cletieS connected with the church. Its
work is done quietly and unObtrusively.
Its aims are 10 promote, first. larger
patriotism; second, larger missionary
spirit, and third, larger spirit OF
brotherhood, and so fulfill the text,
"One is your master, Christ, and all We
are brethren"
j. II. Taylor read paper whose title
was, Naming the World for Christ"
The missionary spirit, said he, is the
spirit OF Christ, and the great mission
airy book is the Bible. At the conven-
ton Rev. Ii. q. Temple, of South Bos-
ton, ill speaking of how to raise money
for missions, said the way was to give
it. and Miss Ella b. McClernanee. of
Chicago, had urged the Importance of
the work aud had said that after the
last 1890 years OF Christian effort two
thirds of the race have never heard the
Gospel. The speaker then gave some
directions for conducting missionary
meeting.
Miss Kate A Chadwick told of the
Tor
subject had been discussed by Rev. Mr..
BRUNEI, who, in speaking of the city
of New York, told That the thousands of
saloons were owned by syndicate of
less than twenty brewers, SO that they
could
Control the Votes.
Thus the destinies of the nation rested
in the hands of less than twenty men,
for as New York city goes, so goes the
commonwealth, and as the common
wealth of New York goes so goes the
nation at the presidential election" is
an old saying. The strength OF the
liquor traffic does not lie in its thou
sands of saloons, but in the
passions and appetiteS of men, but
the grace of Cod is stronger than the
liquor traffic, and that can control it if
men are minded to use it in that may.
Anthony Comstock addressed the
meeting and he regards the influence of
bad books as of far greater Importance
as to the influence on the young, than
any other or all others combined. He
has been fighting these bad books for
twenty-one years. There are sixty
tons of bad books circulated through
the mails yearly. Catalogues of schools
and colleges are obtained and these
perniciOuS books mailed to the students.
Postmasters and their wives are asked
to send names of young people in their
vicinity, and so these things reach the
! p, 100000 boys and girls of America.
William q. Breg reported the doings
of the meetings to consider the Re
deeming of the Land" The important
thing is the reaching the young men
and to bring them under the influences
of the holy Ghost. The saloons and
concert halls and billiard rooms and
horse. places were supported 10y the
young men. Mr.. Breg made many per
a brotherhood that should reach
out and rescue those young
men, compared the churches
or rather Christians to Pullman palace
cars, where every one owned his own
seat and met together once q year to
consider what could be done to bring the
young under the influence Of the gospel.
The Junior Work.
Donald Grant told of what had been
said of the Juniors and of the import
ance of the Junior work. This work
was started ten years ago in town IN
Iowa. The pastor of one of the churches
seeing that the boys and girls were left
out of all the other societies organized
the Juniors, after some opposition.
Elliot Z. Brooks, the first signer OF the
Junior pledge, told of the good effects at
the convention.
Mrs. y. n. Reynolds told of the con-
secration at the convention. She con-
sidered them the most interesting and
