Of CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR INTEREST.

Since the hearts of the young people
in our city have been stirred to do more
for the starving, ship-wrecked and dis
Outraged men, there has arisen many
opportunities; and now that the weather
is warm, and so many of these men do
not find their way to the cheerful and
ever happy rooms Of the Sunday Break
fast Association. the young people Of
the various societies of Christian En-.
deavor have planned to reach them.
Last Sunday afternoon might be seen
on Market and Front streets what has
been called gospel wagon," which
was sent out by the Sunday Breakfast
Association, assisted by the local union.
In this wagon were some Of the pastors
of the city and few earnest Endeav-
orers, who were the bearers of glad
tidings, and whose words, and the
hymns sung, well illustrated the spirit
in which this work is carried on here.
Only 10 days more, and then the
great convention. Any one who has
thought OF going should decide at once,
and join the delegations from Will
ming and Philadelphia. Your going will
be of lifelong profit and inspiration.
There is no movement of our time
which has so much promise of good of
every sort in it for mankind as this
Christian Endeavor movement. The
church of the coming days, with this
infusion of fresh, warm blood into its
veins, cannot fail to be an advance upon
upon the church of the present. Let all
who can attend this convention. Cleve-
land is large enough, and accommoda-
tions have been made for all. No doubt

there will be room for you. And there is
a mighty power III numbers. Bodies
of men organized for political ends
parade the streets and hold mass
meetings to impress and influence the
public by the majesty of numbers. So
let the children of the church be as wise
as the children of the world, and con-
tinue to make their impress upon the
masses by the mujesty Of their numbers,
rs well as by the beauty of their godly
department. The whole atmosphere of
Cleveland July 18th to 10Th will be an
atmosphere of intense, vigorous activity,
and will prove that the spiritual cleo
tricity generated IN our prayer meetings
and our conservation services has been
harnessed to the dynamos to drive the
wheels of good citizenship, missionary
zeal, municipal reform, relief of the
poor and all these glorious objects.
J The State rallies will afford splen-
/ did chance to plan wisely and largely
| for better service The denominational
rallies will give just the opportunity
that we want TO devise means of culti-
waiting more efficiently our particular
part OF the vineyard. The open parlia-
ments will show what some have done,
and will tell others what they have left
undone, what they can do, and will do
the coming year. And all these records
of service and plans for larger work will
be simply the carrying out of the first
clause of our pledge, Trusting in the
Lord Jesus Christ for strength, ! prom
Use Him that will strive to do whatever
he would like to have me do"
There will be two Orchestras of 80
pieces each.
/ No one in the convention hall will be
seated more than 1876 feet away from
tine speakers.
The souvenir badge will be thing of
beauty and a permanent reminder of
the Forest City,.
Watch for the white yachting-cap
trimmed with gold bands. That means
a member of the reception committee.
Railroad tickets to Cleveland will be
good until July 3lst and may he ex-
tended. Fare from here, $11.50.
Seeing, you shall hear and be COM
Portable" That is the motto of the
Cleveland Convention.
