The reception to be rendered the return
ing Christian Endeavorers tonight will un-
doubtedly be participated in by all who
were unable to attend the great conven-
ton which concluded its labors in Boston
Monday. The beneficial effects of that con-
.Vention, not only upon the delegates them
selves, but upon the whole country, can
hardly be estimated. For six days the En-
deaVorers were In constant activity attend
ing prayer and praise meetings, doing evan
gelistic work and engaging in denomina-
tonal rallies. At all these meetings the
aim was to raise the moral standard of the
young and to help those who were en-
deavoring to lead a correct and upright life
to continue along that line. The funda-
mental idea was that the man of good,
healthy morals is the best companion In
every social relation and the best citizen In
the community in which he lives. The
doctrine Of good citizenship goes along with
the teachings of morality and virtue and
at several of the meetings the duties of
a good citizen were referred to by the
speakers. These references were not made
In any partisan spirit, for, as was stated by
Mr.. Capen in his address of welcome, the
Endeavorers belonged to different political
parties and were likely to remain in those
parties, but good citizenship tends to ele-
vate the moral tone, and when 1t reaches
the polls 1t means to vote for the best, the
purest. the most incorruptible man for the
position for which the election is held.
Next year the convention of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor will be held
In Washington. and the prediction is a safe
one that the people of this city will bear
the same testimony to the character of
the delegates and the good influence of the
gathering that is now being borne by the
citizens of Boston. The police at the Hub
say that they never knew such a large in
hux Of strangers to be accompanied by so
little of friction: and that their influence
seemed even to have an effect upon the
evil doors. for arrests were less frequent
during the convention than in ordinary
times. All classes Of people in Boston gave
evidence of their satisfaction at the pres
ence Of the convention, and that will be the
feeling here next year when the citizens of
Washington shall have entertained the con-
vention.
confined to the city in which 1t Is held, but
each delegation goes back to its state or
territory and continues it's work of helping
and elevating the young people there. The
effect is seen in the reforms that are going
on in many states and municipalities, and
1t Is In this respect that the results of the
teaching of good citizenship are made mani
fest. Such education should be commended
by every lover Of order and decency in the
conduct of public affairs, and the society or
societies that can accomplish 1t will deserve
the warmest praise and encouragement.
