1t Is said that thirty per cent. of the
artisan class in Scranton are not iden-
titled with any place of worship. and it
is this great unchurched population the
Volunteers will strive to reach. They
announce their aim to be the bring
ing of hope to the hopeless, gladness to
the saddened heart and cleansing to
the sinner wherever found, through the
love and power of Christ.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERs.
Arrangements for the state conven-
tion of the Christian Endeavorers are
being pushed with vigor. Although the
dates for the gathering are a long way
ahead, the executive committee of the
union Is meeting frequently and finds
plenty to do in guiding the extensive
machinery connected with SO great a
project.
great many thousands of dollars
are required to support these conven-
tions. To raise the large amount is one
of the committees responsibilities but
there are others. The committee Is re-
sponsible for the entertainmnt of sew
eral thousand delegates, will have to ar
range for suitable convention hall--a
| hall or tent that will seat in comfort
| from five to six thousand persons-and
to see that the thousand and one duties
| entrusted to committees are faithfully
| performed.
A spirit of local pride enters into the
| thing also. Other cities have success
| fully handled these great Endeavor
gatherings and each occasion has wit
messed q greater throng and been at
tended with less confusion than it's
predecessors. The Scranton Endavor-
ers will strain very resource to make
| the '96 convention no exception to the
rule.
