deavOr Union.

The Christian t.ndeavor convention Is
thing of the past. 1t ended with the
three sessions of Thursday night and
there was not much left yesterday 10
remind Scranton that the big gathering
had taken place. There were It's me-
mories. Of course, but little else. No
crowds remained nor We're there any
other material reminders
Throughout yesterday the headuuart-
erS of the committee of 90 in the Young
Mems Christian association building
We're practically deserted. The MEM
bers of the main executive body were
evidently resting from their iabOrs of
the past few weeks.
During Thursday night ana yestcr-
day morning nearly all the visiting
delegates began their journeys home
ward and there were few who went on
the excursion To t'arvicw. Most of
those who made that trip We're Scran-
tonians and they did not number over
Scventy-tVe so the excursion can
hardly he termed one of the features
of the convention.
No matter what might he said of the
successes Of the convention in its var
ious departments. the good shown" of
the financial side of the big gathering
was highly satisfactory. The financial
committee, of which Attorney j. W.
browning is chairman, has enough
funds To meet all expenses and that Is
more than can he said of the state con-
ventiOns that have been held in Penn
sylvania cities during the last few
years. The success in the money line
is one which causes the convention
management a great deal of Satisfac-
ton.
INSPECTED THE MINES.
There remained in the city yesterday
perhaps $50 sight seeing delegates. A
large proportion of these wanted to in
spect the mines and many of them
We're given the opportunity through the
Efforts of members of the committee of
% but at midnight the city did not
contain more than a handful of strang-
er delegates.
The following was issued yesterday
by Rev. Geo f.. Guild, president of the
Scranton City Endeavor union:
To Pastors and Presidents of E.ndeavor
Societies of Scranton City Union:
The State EndeaVor convention of '6
is now an event Of the past
Judging from the registration of dele
gates, it apears that at least five thoh-
sand EndCavorcrS from all parts of our
state attended some of the sessions Of the
convention. At the closing hours of the
convention one OF the state officers said:
THE convention has been exceptional for
power
so MANY INSPIRATIONS.
The devotional exercises, addresses, con-
ference, rallies, singing, Gellowships, were
just so many Inspirations. Now for ac-
ton. Through the Kindness of the city
press | send this after-convention coun-
sol of greeting to all Endeavor societies in
our scranton union. Let officers, prayer
meeting and lookout committees meet AT
once with their respective pastors and
promptly plan some definite work. Let
each pastor and society plan for them
selves, but let it be along a clear-cut,
specific line of immediate action for the
Master and His church. n series of after
convention meetings next week, special
lookout committee work ana ronewc
personal cndeavor are suggested. In some
dCnite way let the real power and en-
thusiasm of the splendid convention crys-
talize or focalize into devout intelligent
and persistent effort.
Let all the soul within YOU" For The
| truths sake go abroad Strike, let ev-
cry nerve and sinew." Tell on ages, tell
for God
