from Washington, five thousand-al-
most divine,-it must have made the
listeners think of the pictured scene
of Johns Revelations. We give be-
low few extracts from the addresses
of the convention taken from the
Golden, Rule, more to follow next
week.
Our inspiring watchword for this
year is to be prayer for spiritual
strength, -ssNot by might, nor by
power, but by my Spirit, saith the
Lord.u
Assiniboia's badge banner for last
years greatest proportionate increase
in the number of societies goes this
year to Scotland. England keeps for
another year the banner for the
greatest absolute increase. Pennsyi-
vania keeps for the third year the
banner for greatest absolute increase
in Junior societies, but Assiniboia
must hand over to Mexico her banner
for the greatest proportionate Junior
gain.
81 believe that the Bible, rightly
understood, touches everything, even
though the devil calls it politics.
This sentence from DR.. Henson's adj
dress maybe said to sum up all the
reasons for the monster Christian
citizenship demonstrations of the
Convention on Thursday night. Chris
tians have business with civil affairs.
Josh Billings's remark, eve shall
never have an honest horse race un-
til we have an honest human race"
was quoted by Mr.. Russell to illus
trate the truth that honest politics
can come only when honest people
control political affairs.
Sin a real sense,'' said DR.. Near
thur, ''the ballot-box is the ark of the
There remaineth yet very much
land to be possessed" was the pre-
vailing sentiment Of the workers in
conference.
Mrs Cleveland and Miss Willard
were represented by greetings at the
conference on Mothers and Parents.
Said DR.. Chapman: Goods vessels
may not be gold, but they must be
clean.n
Said Rev. John L. Withdrew, D. D.,
of Chicago: 'It lifts man if he is on
ly serving a greater man. Such
view of Christianity ought to make
man grow. God wants big men, and
he can make use of them"
els heaven any better?" exclaimed
DIR. Geo. B. Stewart, in opening the
program of the Junior Rally. Every
one present felt the force Of the re-
mark, for nothing more glorious could
be imagined on this side of the great
white throne, with it's assembled my
riads of redeemed ones, who have be-
come as little children
DIR. Alexander Allison, of New York
poured out for half an hour fusil-
lade Of fact and argument, right to
the point, on Sunday dissertation in
all it's forms, by newspapers, saloons,
bicycle riders, railroads, and the like.
DR.. Clark, instead of giving greet
ing to the unions had them send
greetings to the children in the lands
he is soon to visit. They did it with a
hearty good will, as may be imagined.
INSTRUMENTATION information
al, intermarine, is Christian Endeav-
orr says Miss Antoinette P. Jones,
the superintendent of Floating socie-
ties of Christian Endeavor; and at the
opening of the meeting in Tent DIR.
Clark awarded the golden banner of
Christian citizenship, held last year
by Syracuse, to Cleveland. Many
cities have done we'll along this line,
but Cleveland has excelled them all.
'Self-interest, we have been told"
said Mr.. Mills, s'is the first law of life.
1t is not. It is the first law of hell.
Everything that is to live must have
the slain Lamb in the midst. There
is no law that has been enacted, or
that will be enacted, that has in it the
principle of selfishness
"The call of the Lord to us is that
we should lead sacrificed lives.''
One OF the most powerful affecting
meetings ever held was that in be-
half of our suffering fellow Christians
that have suffered and are suffering
such inhuman cruelties at the hands
of the fiendish Turk.
'sI cannot be everywhere, can be
somewhere; I cannot do everything,
can do something; what can do I
ought to do, and by the grace of God
/ WILL is the beautiful vow recorded
by Vermont at the closing consecra-
ton meeting.
