OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR INTEREST.

Work of the Sunday Breakfast Assoeia-
tion Conmittee--A Lecture In Aid OF
the work--Calendar of Coming Events.
The work of the Sunday Breakfast
Association committee of the Whining
ton Christian Endeavor Union has been
extended considerably. The building Mt
the southeast corner of Seventh and
Lombard streets has just been rented,
and the Endeavorers of the city will DIT
it up as Christian Endeavor lodging
house. Heretofore, those men con.
verified to Christianity, and Christian
life, through the efforts of the Breakfast
Association, have been compelled to go
back to the evil influences from which
they came, in order to obtain a nights
lodging. The purpose of the new lodg-
ing house is to provide for such men a
nights lodging under Christian in
huences, on payment of from 10 to 10
cents per night, or as cheap as can be
secured anywhere else in the city.
As in the past, the large room on the
first floor will be utilized for the Sun
day morning breakfasts, and the CORE
spending room on second floor will be
used for overflow services should the
occasion require it. The remaining
rooms will be fitted out for sleeping
apartments.
On every Sunday afternoon a Sab
bath school will be held at the rooms,
and on evenings during the week gospel
meetings are to be conducted.
