BOSTON, July 13.-ThousandR of dele
gates to the Christian Endeavor conven-
ton last night attended three marvellous
gatherings in Mechanics Hall, and in
tents Endeavor and Williston. Unwearied
by the fervor of the huge morning meet
ings in these c%enters, not tired by the ear
nest efforts of the noon rallies in "A dozen
places where congregate the toilers of Bos-
ton, n unsatisfled with the encourage
ment gained at the fifteen general COM
mittee meetings in the afternoon, the
Christians gathered $4,000 strong at the
big meetings.

dress of Rev. A. G. Dixon, ID. D., of Brook

thousands were drawn to tent Williston
by the announcement of an address by
