BOSTON, July 15.-Tonight the four.
teenth international convention OF the
Y. r. s. C. E., one of the most success
full meetings in the history of the society,
will close. Services today had deeper
religious feeling than any held since the
first day Of the convention. which was
probably due to the subsiding OF the ex-
citement of the opening days, and the
Impressive character of the exercises.
Conservation was the principal subject
OF the day. The attendance at all morn
ing meetings was as large as any day last
week. The addresses of President George
A. Gates. D. D.. Iowa college. and Presi-
dent Ebert D. Warfeld, LII. D., Easton,
Penn, in tent Williston. were the features
OF the morning. The former spoke of
Conservation of Educated Life, and was
followed by his great audience with close
attention. President Warfield's address
was on Attractions of the Ministry to
Educated Men. At tent Endeavor the
on missionary Service. proved the great
card. Speers' great work in the mission
ary fields has made him famous among
Christian Enieavorers.
The morning meetings in both tents
were conducted under the general title
Scholarship of the World TOR Christ. At
tent Wlliston and Mechanics hall encour-
aging reports concerning religious life in
colleges were made and in both tents and
hall the roll of honor. upon which were
inscribed the names OF unions whose
mem bers have been able to give literally
to the cause, was simultaneously unrolled.
