gladly exchange for Cleveland and all
his cabinet. Tammany Hall even would
be a desirable change for us,
In America we need all that you have
in the United States TO make it like
beautiful and Christian land-your
schools, your religion, your civlliza-

we can accomplish five times the
amount of Christian work, In twenty
five years I hope the land will be re-
gained for Christ, We need not only
your sympathy and your prayers, but
also your material aid and help. We
invite you all to go with us and help in
the work.
After his address five minutes were
allowed the audience in which to ask
questions of Mr.. Boulgourjoo.
After the song Eye Christian Soldiers,
Go Proclaim" few brief Christian ev-
licences were given.
Mr.. George Graft, superintendent of
the Madison Square church house in
New York, described in a very affecting
manner his own life; how leaving good
home he passed from drinking to the
variety stage, from there to the race
track and. then a drunkard on the
streets of New York, he entered a mis-
sion and was saved by the power of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Many in the audi
ence were moved to tears by his recital
and his touching illusions to his wife
! and child.
| At the request of President Torroy,
Mr.. and Mrs. Elderkin sang "I'll be a
True Soldier"
| The next speaker was Mpemba, ma
| tive of Central Africa. He spoke in his
native language, the Rev. Mr.. Jackson
acting as his interpreter. He told of
his conversion by some missionary la
dies in a way peculiarly interesting and
| touching.
When he closed, contrary to the usual
custom of the convention, he was given
a hearty round of applause.
Mr.. Boulgourjoo then told of his con-
version and how his father had desig-
mated him for the ministry because of
an incident of his childhood when after
a severe Illness he was thought to he
dead and in accordance with the GUS
tom of the country he was to have been
buried in half an hour, when little
| girl discovered that he was still living.
He studied in his own country, came
here and studied in Oberlin and Yale.
He expressed the hope of being able to
return to his own country in week, If
the way should be provided.
