are said on all sides in commendation of
the police Never before, it is said. in the
history of Christian Endeavor conventions,
has such ample police protection been af-

deayorerS been so courteouSly treated by
officials and men alike.
The police of Boston have apparently
won their way into the hearts of the Chris
tan EndeavorerS by their kind and willing
attention, and the Christian Endeavorers
have also found their way into the hearts
of the policemen by their pleasant smiles
and appreciation for services rendered
them. In fact, every one with whom the
delegates have come In contact, from the
governor of the state and the mayor of
Boston to the owest employee of the city,

press gratitude for SO generously throwing
open their doors and turning their church
home into a convention church home of the
most modern style. Such cordiaEty and
courteous treatment as the Washington
people received at the hands of the Union
Church Society and Church is rare say the
delegates, and the memories of Boston, '95,
and Union Church will always be intimate
ly associated.
