Coming Christian EnueaSOr Events.
Many good people say, 40, yes, We
ought to be more brotlerly and helpful,
one to another we ought to cooperate
more as Christians; but in the present
state of affairs, where there is so much
jealousy, it is not possible" But the
Christian Endeavor Society has proved
that ii is possible, and this excuse can
no longer be given for lack Of fellowship.
1t has been demonstrated that We can
have genuine fellowship on the broad
basis OF Christian Endeavor without
giving up single doctrine or impGril-
ling a single truth for which any de-
nomination stands. Baptist EndGav-
orers are just as good Baptists; Method.
lists Endcavorers are just as loyal
Methodists; Presbyterian Endeayorers
are just as stanch Presbytcrians, and SO
on, as if they had never entered for a
| day into the Christian Endeavor move
ment. Christian Endeavor stands now,
as il always has stood, for true, genuine,
nterdenominational fellowship. 1t
stands for fraternity among the denomi'
nations us no other organization docs
stand or has stood, while at the same
time it always stands for strenuous
loyalty to ones own church and denomi-
nation. BY joining the Christian En-
| deavor Society of any church we do not
merely attach ourselves to the church,
but attach ourselves to Christ, and work
for Him and the church.
SUNDAY BREAKFAST ASSOCIATION.
Among the visitors to the association
| rooms last Sunday morning were MIR.
Ross, of the Germantown Rescue Mis-
sion, who gave an account of his work,
and showed those destitute and dis
couraged men present that He who
governs all is not mere power; lie IS
our Father with infinite love forus, and
so personal and minute his care that not
one Is overlooked; and Mr.. John Nc
Kee, of the Sunday Breakfast Associa-
ton of Philadelphia, who also gave an
interesting address, illustrating that We
are Gods true children, and whatever
trouble comes to us comes as the Fathers
will. Several men left the rooms last
Sunday morning changed men, believ-
ing in God, and are now striving TO
undo some of the evils of their past
life. So the work goes on in our city,
and the Endeavorers are ever learning
that God has appointed us to live out
our lives among men rather than apart
and alone. We grow best among other
lives. Heaven and its honors are for
''him that overcometh." Not to enter
the struggle is to fail of the palm of
victory. The best things in life are not
found along tlowery walks, but in the
fields of conflict, is being seen and felt
by our Endeavorers everywhere.
"cLEvELAND, '94."
Interest in the Cleveland convention
is growing. In little over three
months many Endeavorers will be in
Cleveland, receiving inspiration and
help from what will be as large con-
vention as the memorable one held two
years ago in Madison Square Garden,
New York, which was the largest re-
llgious assembly ever convened in the
history of the country. The music
committee is gathering an immense
chorus, composed of nearly 1000 voices.
Go to Cleveland and enjoy the grandest
music sung since the hearld songs of
the angels on Bethlehem's plain.
AS has been announced, each State

church. The assignments have been
