Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reaffirm the right OF
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals Of
any American state for friendly inter-
vention in cas- of European encroach-
ment. We. have not interfered, and
shall not interfere, with the existing
possessions Of any European power in
this hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended.
We hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal of the European
powers from this hemisphere. and the
ultimate union of all the English
speaking part of the continent by the
free consent OF its inhabitants.

The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
indignation Of the American people.
and We believe that the United States

dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de-
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
lean citizens and American property
must be absolutely protected al all
hazards and at any cost.

PRESBYTERIAN,

The heat yesterday afternoon had no ap-
precable effect upon the Presbyterians, so
far as their attendance upon the rally in
Tent Endeavor was concerned, and when
taken in connection with their outpouring
during the downpouring that accompanied
their rally in the same Enclosure Thursday
afternoon proved with peculiar force that
naught In the way of weather can restrain
members of that denomination in matters
affecting their faith. The crowd gathered
with remarkable rapidity, and as the con-
verging lines came through the White Lot
many doubtless envied the Endeavorers
who had chosen shady places under the
trees and were stretched at full length on
the grass enjoying the breezes that blew
from the piles Of cumulous clouds hanging
iaziiy IN the west These same clouds
served to temper the atmosphere under
the tent, too. not only with their breezes,
but with the curtains they put over the sun
every now and then. At 2:3o O'Clock there
were rot go persons in the tent: at 3
O'Clock there were over 5000, and m an
other quarter Of an hour as MANY more
had assembled. The ladies were largely in
the preponderance. and in their Sunday
gowns, bright ribbons and best hats. gave
the Enclosure a very pretty flower garden
