ENDEAV0RERs MAKE A GRAND
RAID ON BOSTON'S OH URCHES.

RAID ON BOSION'S Ch CIOhGD'
There Were No Meetings Held But Several
Important and Interesting Sermons Were
Listened to by the Young Delegates-Ex-
cellent Address by Canon Richardson.
Boston, July 14.-No meetings of the
Christian Endeavor convention were
held to-day, but he Endeavorers crowd
ed the city churches, where many dis
tinguished clersymen from abroad
preached. An immense congregation
thronged Trinity in the morning to hear
Canon j, B. Richardson of London, Ont,
who preached powerful sermon upon
church unity. Christendom finds itself
to-day in a state of dissatisfaction at
the root of which is the feeling that
unity Is Gods work. The pope's recent
encyclical, while remarkable for its
devout and gentle spirit, is permeated
with the assumption that Rome is the
one true church and reunion must be
under her dogmas. Any corporate re-
union with Rome is impossible so long
as she retains her distinctive doctrines.
The one sad feature of Professionalism
is our endless divisions. Perhaps no
Protestant creed can suffer platform
broad enough to be a meeting ground
for all Christians. But Christians are
not altogether to abandon their denomi-
national principles. The word of God,
the two creeds, the two sacraments, the
historic episcopate, are the fundation
stones of church unity. Christianity is
personal loyalty to the personal Christ.
Rev. Knight Chaplin of London, Eng,
preached to congregation which filled
Music hall at the morning service of
theTremont Temple society. His sub
ject was Liberty in Christian Ser
vice."
Dudley street church was packed long
before morning service opened. The
sermon was preached by Rev. Henry
T. McEwen, D. D., of New York. taking
for his text, the parable of the house
built upon the sand. He used instances
of ordinary difficulties in the erection
Of buildings to illustrate the difficulties
encountered by human souls in develop
ing sound character. The only safe
foundations for buildings were those
laid by God in the sand and rock; so in
Gods building man without the
right foundation would be destroyed
in spite of the good he might apparently
be doing. Lives, like buildings, should
be made of fire proof material. He
closed with description of the power
of mental storm and stress, to improve
those who sustained them, drawing an
illustration from the life Of Paderewski,
who is said to have derived his marvel
Gus touch and inspiration from the en-
deavor to please an invalid wife by his
piano playing.
Bishop Fallows of Chicago preached
in the fremont street church this morn
ing upon "Santification."
DR. Arthur Little Of Dorchester pre-

Sabbath.
Rev. William Patterson, D. D., OF
Toronto, Ont, preached at Berkeley
Temple this morning from Ezekiel He
claimed the prophecy that the bones
of the Jewish nation should be brought
together was being fulfilled. The idea
was to get the Jews together and then
infuse Christian life into them. The
endeavorers would be used by God tc
bring back the dead to life by the power
of Gods word through the agency OF
His spirit The great hindrance te
Gods spirit was the selfishness of Chris
tians.
The First Baptist church was filled tc
the doors when Rev. M w. Hunt, D
D., Of Minneapolis, Mimi. preached
upon Christ's touch of the bier In the
raising of the widows son. He called
attention to the fact that Christ could
have performed the miracle without
touching the bier and the touch was
given in order that He might place Him.

He then detailed other experiences OF
Christ. Christ touched the bier of hui

the thought of Christ's resurrection ane

the others mentioned, claiming that He

after His ascension.
