these matters among the young peo-
pie of a community. 1t is an indig-
nation meeting against misrule and
corruption which never adjourns. Its
true mission, as of every similar or
ganiZation, is to awaken and to keep
awake righteous public sentiment,
until organized wiekedness sinks
away abashed and ashamed of
itself. Not as an organized society,
but as well-organized individuals,
simply because we are followers of
Christ, the Righteous, let us stand
everywhere for the right. Do not be
content with overthrowing one Tam
many in New York and another in
Chicago. Do not be content until
Tammany in America is forever an i'm
possibility. Do not be content until a
corrupt political deal is as impossible
and intolerable as an open cesspool
would be in your own parlor. Follow
the flying foe. Push things. The word
of the Lord and of Christian Endeavor
$50 for the other great twin move
ment of the day. Push things, and
keep on pushing. Do not be content
with holding meetings and arousing en-
thusiasm or even volunteering for the
mission field, but pay the debts. En-
thusiasm is well; arousing meetings are
important; but consecrated, system
attic, proportionate giving alone justi-
fies the enthusiasm and saves it from
ridicule. Neither let us be content,
Endeavorers, with helping to pay for
this once the debt which hangs like a
dark pail over many of our missionary
boards; let us make a debt forever
more impossible. By SO stimula ting
the generosity of our members, by so
approaching our stewardship; by max
ing proportionate giving to God as
much a part of our religion as pray
ing and believing, let US make a debt
in any mission board in America all
unheard-of thing"
SAN FRANCISCO IN '97.
The cheering continued when Secre-
tary Baer announced that at the meet
ing of the trustees this afternoon San
Francisco had been decided upon as
the meeting place of the convention
in 1897. He stated that this years con-
vention would have been held in the
California metropolis if the railroads
had co-operated and offered a salts
factory transporta ton rate. He be-
Iieved this cooperation would be Of
fered in 1897, and felt satisfied that the
great body Of Endeavorers would be
glad to gather in the city of the Gold
en- Gate in that year.. The famous
Evangelist, Rev. Dwight L. Moody, of
Mortified, Mass, was introduced
after the hymn 1.-The Banner of the
Cross" had been sung by the entire
congregation. 1.-THE Bible and it's re-
lation to the Christian Endeayor So
ciety'' was the topic discussed by him.
He said he believed that something
more than enthusiastic meetings and
charitable work was necessary for the
perpetuation and extension of Chris
tan Endeavor. and that something
was the Bible. He urged the delega-
ton to base their trust in the Word
of the Omnipotent as spoken to them
through the Bible, and to make the
; Bible entire and complete the founda-
ton of their religion. He was not a
pesSimist, he said, and could see to-
day brighter outlook for Christiani-
ty than ever before. Mr.. Moody con-
cluded with a fervent prayer and ap-
pealed to the delegates to learn the
Bible thoroughly and follow it's teach
ings. The hymn, Tell the Glad Story
Again. and prayer by Rev. William
Paterson, of Toronto. concluded the
evenings exercises
The overflow meeting which was held
on the steps of the main entrance to
the hall was opened by Rev. Henry
Lamont. of Belfast, Ireland. Rev.
John Pollock, of Scotland, President
Clark and Secretary Baer also ad-
dressed the meeting. The addresses
were interspersed with numerous
hymns and the gathering did not ad-;
Journ until delegates within the hall
began to pour through the doors.
