CBy telegraph to the Dispatch.)

Christian Workers opened their session
this morning with a large attendance.
After the exercises he'd been opened with
prayer the various pastors In the audi
ence were requested TO tell their expert
ences OF yesterday. Each in turn re-
counted his doings. and after the expert
ence meeting prayer was offered. Thanks
were also offered that the opera-house
which the workers were assembled in
which had so often been the scene of un-
righteousness. had been transformed on
yesterday into Bethel.
Mrs. a. l.. Prindle. matron OF the Flor
ence Crittendon Mission, of New York,
told briefly OF her work there. She is
motherly-looking woman, with an unusu-
ally sympathetic voice. She wanted 10
warn the young men in the audience. and
the older men, too. for that matter, as TO
how they treated motherless girls. There
was no better tool of Satan in the world
than the very victims when they once
became discouraged and despaired. Inc
work OF reclaming women in New YORK
was going on gloriously. How could
man hope 10 90 TO heaven when he heiped
to send a soul to he'll?

1--WE ask our friends OF the South he
said. "to help remove ignorance ana ue-
gr4dation. We want Gospel missions.
We look forward 20 the time when we VIII
solve our problems under Calyarys cross
This Is not a political problem; not III
airing OF grievances. IT you go 10 t"e
tails and penltentiaries you will see many
color4d people there whose hearts are
touched with love. How can we lift them
up? We certainly want schools ana
churches"
The rescue mission >work was the sub
iect of Colonel II. II. Hadley, or New
York. lie had hardly spoken when he
pointed 10 the rear of the house and said:
Madam. don't take that baby out; can
holler louder than II can holler. Ihe
speaker showed Il book Of thlrty-one ser
monettes. which were given those who
were converted at his mission. They
we're TO be read page day. one OF
tho sermonettes was entitled "A True
Snake story. or the Real Cure for
Drunkenness" Colonel Hadley at this
point wanted to say something about the
KeeIey cure 1t might have brought
many souls TO Christ, but IT was IKE
bromide of potash for steadylng the
nerves-the beneficiary gives the potash
the credit and oyerlooks God. The kee-
lev cure was not so effective, anyhow
he knew of many men 1t had driven
crazv. At lis mission the tune "Goins
Back to Dixie" was often used. Ihere
was lust one air better than that, ana IL
wes pixie" itself (Applause)

wise a mission TO be started mere ana ~
Decatur street was the location lor II.
He would rent the whole DulldFl6 ior 'h"'

nomination were never mentioned. Hope

A YOUNG LADY LEADER.
In the absence Of Elijah =. Brown OF
indianapolis. yesterday afternoon, the de-
votional exercises were conducted by MISS
pertba Wright. OF ottawa, Canada. n
large gathering was on hand' anu ''e
crowd even filed the upper balconies OF
the building. Colonel Hadley prayed that
sectionalism might be destroyed ana that
Christianity might rule in the hearts OF
all men: that the feelings OF the South
and The feelings of the North might be
come through Jesus CHRIST 'he leeiu,ss
nf a common country. Colonel HadIey
sang. I'm Going Back to Jesus TO the
tune of pixie"
Rev. Charles Herold OF Brooklyn, dis
coursed on the Bethesda Mission. Mr.
Herold said that he had given up evan
gellstic work To start a peoples church
in Brooklyn Brooklyn was beautitul
city. but a wicked one. IT was under the
control Of boss and n ring, and was
not a city given to the worship of God.
"In New York and Brooklyn" con-
tnued the speaker, tine power Oh SATAN
Is daily becoming stronger and stronger,
and the influence of the Church weaker
and weaker among the people"
In manner which indicated the state
of her feelings. Mrs. Debrouen began her
talk. France. she stated. had a popula-
ton of 100000 OF people. Out Of that
number there were scarcely million
Protestants France had once been a
grand and powerful country. She was
that no longer. because the Gospel of
Jesus Christ had been rapudiated. Mrs,
Debrouen had labored among the French
communists for nearly twenty-three years.
Medical missions had been established
among the poor OF France. as that was
| the most effective way OF reaching them.
BY giving them medicine and nursing
them back into life the Gospel was able
to strike the roll in their hearts. The
great need OF the cause was more money
and more prayers in its behalf.
