was that at Berkeley Temple, at which
Rev George E. Horr. d. D.. OF Boston,

The subject of the evening, ihe
Religions Press, :" discussed by Rev. VIM.
HAYES Ward, d. D., of New York city
Rev. A. E. Dunnine, ID. d., OF boston,
followed, upon 1.-The Relation OF the
Religious Press to Christian Endeavor.
He said the religious press had been the
most efficient instrument in developing
Christian Endeayor, which could never
have leen saved without its sympathy
and counsel. The English secular papers
are more decurous. but less Christian than
the American God wanted men enter
orisipp enough to make worldly men see
chat there is news in religion.
The sneaker claimed that the religious
nress carried Christian Endcayor news TO
the end of the world. Missionary news
meant not merely a statement of the num-
her OF converts, but the transformation OF
society through Christians who believe
hat religion could make the old world
lew.
He spoke briefly in closing of good citi-
henship crlticising the two classes of re
formeIs-those with enthusiasm without
,xpericnce. and those with experience with
,ut enthusiasm. The religious press, he
said. tried TO foster enthusiasm, but would
lot die by experience.
