and Drill Hall Last Night.
MONTREAL. July 7.-Some of the
Christian endeavor delegates, who were
in attendance at the meeting last night,
complained that pickpockets awaited
their exist and that more than one at
tempt at watch snatching was made.
The delegations from Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Texas arrived in the city by
boat last night and their arrival about
completes the roll call. II was for their
arrival that the presentation of the 1898
committee banner was postponed until
Saturday. New York will doubtless get
this banner. The sensational reports
sent out from Montreal that the dele
gates from the states are dissatisfied
with their quarters have taken their
rise in the individual kicks from var
touS members rather than from any con-
siderable body of visitors. Now that all
the delegates have arrived il is adj
rnitted by some Of the head men in the
convention that the attendance is rather
disappointing and that Is 900 is an outside
number for the delegates, but this de-
tracts nothing from the enthusiasm and
this morning all six of the prayer meet
ings were well attended and the tent
halls comfortably filled.
St. Louis presided. An open meeting
was conducted by the Rev. ]. A Rond-

MONTREAL. July S.-Another series
OF prayer-meetings were held in the
churches of this city this morning on
the part OF the delegates 10 the annual
convention of Christian Endeayor socie-
ties They were followed during the
morning by meeting in the drill hall and
tent, at both of which there was a full
attendance. The meeting in the drill
hall was devoted TO missions. MIR. S. l..
MershOn Of Illinois opened the speaking.
by an address on Missionary Literature;
Why Used and How to Use It." Said
the speaker:
First, last, all the time, the bible Is
the missionary classic Of all ages. Thy
word is a lamp unto the feet and light
unto the path of all missionary heralds.
Turn the heresy hunter into the heather
hunter What cares that poor soul in
darkest Africa, whether some secluded
monk failed 10 dot an Il or cross a IT
so long as that book will bring him the
raft of life over the ways Of death
With this preparation for safe thinking
let US look down the stream of Christian
literature which is flowing, in ever in
creasing volume from this well Of water
springinS up into worlds everlasting
life"
He then cited a long list Of volumes
covering the missionary feld, the field OF
science and the other lines of work in
cident to the cause and work. Then he
said: Now let US catch up the string"
l. See TO il that your Sunday-school
library has a well-assOrted line of care
fully selected missionary books intensely
interesting in character.
? Make a separate list Of these books
and hang il on the walls Of your Sunday
school room with a notice that the fol
lowing interesting missionary books are
TO be found in the sunday school library
3. ION the cards announcing the mis-
sionary meetings put on reference note
calling attention TO the library books
that relate 10 the subjects chosen for the
missionary meetings.
1t is immensely important that you
secure a subscription for your denomina-
tiOnal missionary magazine in every
home Your missionary meeting lasts an
hour, but that magazine by its very
presence testifes for mission 365 days in
a year. IL is grand work to get a new
subscriber TO the mission magazine of
your own church.
5. Occasionally withdraw a copy of
an Interesting missionary book from the
library and offer to lend IL to some one
whom you desire TO interest.

7. 1T is a conded fact that every
worker must have the Missionary Re
view, the London Conference Report and
the Encyclopedia OF Missions. Why not
make your pastor present OF them?'
He was followed by Miss Ella NJ. Nc

Gilbert Reid Of China in which the

MONTREAL. July 9-When the big
tent OF the CHRISTIAN endeaVOrerS was
examined this morning tt was found
that thirty-five Of the ropes had been
cut by hOodlums last night. The chief
OF police assured Secretary Baer that
the police force was at his disposal and
the city was back of the police
Although thus assured OF ample police
protection, Secretary Baer thought II
better to call the tent meeting off, as II
was thought the noise outside would
drown the voices Of the speakers inside
The program was carried out in its en-
tirety.
Every delegate spoken to strongly
condemns the remarks Of the Indian di-
ne-Karmarthar-and several OF the
speakers at todays meeting paid little
tributes 10 the persistent proselytizins
of the Roman catholic church.
The closing scenes inside Of the drill
hall tonight were characterized by much
warmth and handwriting, kissing
among the women delegates, who had
