GET READY !!
The EndeayOr Convention Growing in
Size Each Day.

The News reporter finds all the
"Committee of 1894" up to their
ears in work for the convention of
May 30 3O.31. There is usually
one ear that the reporter gets, how.
ever, and he asks in his ubiquitous
way: "Any newsr" Then he is
swept off of his slender pins by the
flood of news that pours out at him.
"The committee on monogram dec
orations worked until 2 O'Clock last
night "the committee on cor.
respondence wrote nearly all night,
and then were not through with
their work. "the choir under Prof.
Parnum's direction had soul-stir.
ring rehearsal last night" and 80 it
goes for about fifteen minutes.
Those who don't stand, like the re.
porter, on the inside, don't know
what is being done or the magni-
tude Of making preparations for
such a convention
The work Of the Waco convention
has aroused the curiosity of many to
know what the Christian Endeavor
is and what it is doing and in ans wer
to question bringing this thought
before his mind the chairman of the
press and printing committee re.
piled: cit can be better known as
to what it is by what it does The
work Of the Christian E.deavor is
co extensive with humanity. In
Kansas City alone, last year, the
Christian Endeavor free soup house
fed nearly 10000 men; this re-
quired 600 gallons of soup, and
more than 10, 900 loaves Of bread
The work of the aociety is the in.
en'ive to its growth. In Swansea
Union, Wales, four months ago
there was not q single society.
CHOW how many societies do you
sui pose there are?" The reporter
gave ii up. "Well, there are now
ia enty our there and LOO mem
bers
"Where 10 the limit to the
work."
"There is none. 1t is az broad
as hum anity, and takes in every
avocation and calling There are
floating endeavor for the sailors,
life-saving endeavor, among the
life savers along the cast; police
endeavor among our city polioemen;
reform endeavor in our penal insti-
tutions; travelling endeavor among
commercial travellers; missionary
endeavor for the unconverted
heather; senior endeavor for old
people, and junior endeavor for the
children, and yet they are all
phases of one and the same work.
81 might spend hours in telling
you of the work and all about it;
but it is better known by
being seen. You will be at the
convention? Well, then, see for
yourself, and if any one in Waco
wants to know what Christian En-
deavor work liz, or has prejudice
against it, let him come to the con.
vention and get taste of it. And
by the way, we have word from
San Antonio that forty are coming
from there, instead of four as re-
ported a month sgo." But here
THE News scribe was crowded out
by other seekers for news of the
greatest convention ever held by the
young people Of Texas.
