 Evening Session.
 The evening session was held in the First Presbyterian church and was opened with religious services conducted by Prof. W. P. Taylor.
 Rev. Ira Landrith of Nashville, who was to have addressed the convention, was detained and Rev J. A. Rondthaler was called upon to take his place.
 He said: Out of the prayer meetings the Christian Endeavor was born. A pas tor desired to bring his congregation closer together and organized the En- deavor society for that purpose. Two distinctive features have marked these Christian Endeavor societies, born of prayer meetings. One is the enthusias- tic missionary spirit The second is the good citizenship movement. No doubt when Dr. Clark gave utterance to those good citizenship movements he had little thought of the great good it would do throughout the world.-. Citizenship as taught in the Christian Endeavor society means better government Christian cis-. izenship means a Christian government. It means that the government in all of it's departments shall be guarded in the interest of honesty and goodness. It means that the Christian shall go into politics with the same influences sur rounding him as if he were going into his church. Who is better fitted for con- trolling the country than the Christian? Read your Bible and there receive in- structions for your conduct. A pure ruler is a ruler the people need; he is the one that is best for the country. Elijah's whole life was a protest against the evil government of Ahab. 1 have My Country, 'Tis of Thee Sing" sung in my congregation periodically. There was once a Kansas senator who said morals in politics is an irridescent dream but haNyOpd Mississippi to him that it is not an irri- descent dream. You say the Christian, as church member, must have nothing to do with politics, yet what influence Is greater in politics than the saloon? Are we merely to stand in the pulpit and pro test against bad government? The hope of the future lies in pure government, and that can only be obtained by Chris tians being in power. E At the conclusion of MT. Rondthaler's address the convention sang My Coun- try, 'Tis of Thee'
