CLEVELAND, July 1.-THE pace set
by the Christian Endeavorers at their
meeting Thursday morning, and main
tanned during the day, was still held
yesterday, when two immense audi
ences gathered to listen to magnificent
addresses and to participate in the won
derful chorus singing which forms
distinctive feature of the convention.
The Endeavorers were not tagging in
their interest in the great convention,
but on the contrary their enthusiasm
seemed to be on the increase.
From all parts of the city they focked
to the places of meeting bright and
early Friday morning and the street
cars were full of them. Their hymns
rose on the morning air and echoed
through the streets as they were borne
on their way and the conductors and
motormen as well as the passers on the
streets were drawn perforce into SYM
pathy with the undaunted hearts of
the young Endeavorers.
The places of meeting were filed
early, and the delegates, as rule, an
ticipated the expected time of opening
the meetings by an hour or more. The
attendance at the two morning meet
ings was fully 10000, and there was in
terest and enthusiasm, and youth and
freshness all in abundance.
AS on the preceding day, Sangerfest
hall was filed Friday morning with an
eager audience long before the stated
time for the meeting to begin, and as
before, the mass of young people passed
the time in lifting their voices in mel
ody, under the leadership of E. o. Ex-
cell and the orchestra, with the silver
cornets of the Park sisters. Hymn af-
ter hymn was sung, the enthusiasm in
creasing with each until the very
climax was reached. A quartet, COM
posed of Rev. S. l.. Darsie, the Messrs.
Thomas and Mr.. Tisdell, sang "Blest
Shall the Harvest Be" and in response
to a hearty encore returned and sang
''Thou Art Drifting" Their voices
were powerful and sweet, and the con-
vention showed its warm appreciation.

nounced the committees of the conven-
