Louisville Wants 1t.
Louisville's claims were presented by W.
NJ. Danner, general secretary of the Y.
M. c. A. Of Louisville and a prominent
Endeavorer. AS early as 1890 Louisville
was in the field as a candidate for con-
vention honors, but never before has such
a strong representation been made to the
trustees. In his address to the board Mr..
banner Kept strictly to plain stateme ut
OF cold facts, and made no attempt to
argue in favor of the city of his choice or
make any comparisons with the other
contesting cities.
He said that geographically Louisville
is within about seventy miles Of the center
of population of the United States. 1t
has ten railroads. seven Of them leading
trunk lines of the country. making access
from the principal centers of population
possible without change of cars. 1t is
admirably suited for a religious conven-
tton, having a large number of halls and
l13 churches. at least twenty of which
are capable of seating on an average an
audience of LOCO people. In entertaining
the Grand Army encampment Louisville
proved herself capable of handling large
crowds. For the Christian Endeavor
convention of 'JS hundreds of business
men have already indicated by their sig
natures that they will do all in their power
to make the convention a success. and in
addition the two leading commercial or
ganizations Of the city have indorsed the
movement. Hotel facilities were ample.
a royal welcome would be extended by citi-
zens In their homes and the convention
would effectively reach the south il grant
ed to Louisville.
Kentuckians are hopeful that their pre-
sentation of these statements will induce
the trustees to accept the invitation to
come to their metropolis two years hence.

BIBLE BOOK STUDY,

An Interesting Talk by President
Burroughs of Crnvvfordsville, Ind.
The first in the series Of What is known
as Bible Book Study was begun this morn
ing at $50 o'clock at the New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church by President G.
8. Burroughs, D. D., of Charlottesville,
Ind. The topic Of the study was Amos,
the Prophet Of Righteousness" Dr. Bur-
roughs called attention to the syllabi Of
the few studies, which he intends to de-
liver on successive mornings. and said
that these were printed as part of the
convention program, SO that there would
be no need for those who attended the
services to take notes. He then called at
tention to the division of the subject, which
was the Introductory, the survey of the
book Of Amos and special topics. The
speaker then described some of the char
acterisucs of the prophets and said that
each book in the Bible was an organic
whole, and that 1t was well to study 1t as
q whole. He made some practical sugges-
tions about the study of the Bible and ad-
vised the use of the revised version. Amos
ment, the beginning of the written pro-
phecy, and for that reason had been Sc
lected as the topic of the opening study
He spoke of the personality lying behind
the book and Of the Biblical conception of
the prophet and of prophecy. In a run
ming commentary, which was followed with
interest by an audience that occupied near
ly the whole of the main portion of the au-
ditorium, the speaker gave survey of the
book which brought out the characteristic
features Of the writings of the prophet.
In concluding the study, which was inter-
esting throughout, DIR. Burroughs spoke OF
Amos the man, the relative of the prophet

ceptton of the Messianic times and then
applied the message of Amos to the pres

PrOf. Andrews Address.
The response to the address of welcome
was delivered by Prof. w. w. Andrews of
Sackville, New Brunswick. Prof. Andrews
expressed his pleasure at being given the

much enthusiastically his fervid tribute to
the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race
with which he closed his remarks.
A Good Story.
Mr.. Grose coming forward to announce a.
solo by Mr.. E. o. Excel told good story
about Professor Andrews. With him Pro-
fessor Andrews was going along in front
of the Capitol, and noticing the statue Of
George Washington, half clad and holding
his arm aloft, remarked that the father Of
his country seemed to be pleading with the
Goddess of Liberty to bring him back his
clothes.
When the laughter subsided Mr.. Grose
continued:
Then Professor Andrews looked over the
statue and said, slyly: I am inclined to
think that the sculptor carved your George
as bad as your George did ours"
Mr.. Excel sang with impressive effect

low voice, full of fervor and meaning, Civ

Striving to Secure 1t

The trustees of the United Society OF
Christian Endeavor, so 1t is reported, have
practically determined to assign San Fran

convention next year, and II satisfactory
arrangements can be made with the rail-
TOAD companies In regard to transportation
there seems to be no doubt that the proper
cry will be San Francisco, '97.''
For '9S's Convention.
Omaha is very actively in the field for
the convention Of '8S and insists that in
view Of its geographical situation and other
attractions, 1t is entitled to the honor of
entertaining the Endeavorers two years
hence. The delegation made known its
claims to the trustees last evening. and. It
is thought, created a favorable impression.
NashvilIe's Claims.
The enthusiasm of the Tennesseeans. in
behalf Of Nashville as the meeting place of
the convention of 1893, is limitless The
Tennessee contingent came here singing
their rallying songs and Justify giving the
Nashville yell. They are still singing. work
ing rs hard as bees, and claim to see a
good chance ahead to secure the conven.
ton.
The advantages and claims OF Nashville
were presented to the trustees last night
by Rev. Ira Landreth, the best speaker
and the most prominent man in the Ten
nessee delegation. He was aided by Presi-
dent NOEL, Rev. P. NJ. Fitzgerald and other
noted Tennesseeans. They urged Nashville
on many grounds. One of these was that
the convention has never met in a south
ern city. and southern Endeavorers think
they are entitled to this honor two years
from now, without having TO wait longer.
The whole south, Mr.. Landreth urged
wants the convention. and he displayed let
tiers from the governors of all the southern
states urging that the convention go south
in '9S. Nashville stands ready, the Ten
nesseeans state, to put up as much money
as any city. and to do it without delay.

up right now. Mr.. Landreth and others are

The tent swelled with the cheer that went

to be caught up again and redoubled. For
several minutes President Clark stood the
center of whirlwind of enthusiasm. He
tried several times to speak, but his voice
could not be heard two feet away. He

Endeayorers had exhausted itself, then he
went on. but only to be interrupted every

Vade Canada at once and make that coun-
try the seat of war. The immediate seiz-
stroy, would solve at once the problem of
the, defense on the lake ports. There is
nothing to fear from Canada. No inva-

there. We could overwhelm the country
with force outnumbering ten to one any
thing England could collect or muster,
