The Convention Opened.

The Convention Opened.
1t was 9:55 O. clock when President Clark
took the speakers platform to open the
exercises. He is a slight man, of middle
age, his full face rejecting the intense love
of the cause that inspires him. His hair
Is beginning to turn gray, but his voice is
young and hearty. 1t easily penetrated to
the extreme end Of the tent, and reached
the heart of every person present He be-
gan by saying:
Rain cannot drown Christian Endea avor
and wind cannot blow it away. for He
maketh small drops of water and fair
weather cometh out Of the north.
With the brefest of preliminaries he de-
clared the fifteenth international Christian n
Endeavor convention to be opened and in
troduced Rev. DR.. F. D. Power of this city
to conduct the devotional exercises Dr.
Power led the reading of the Scripture les
son printed in the program. This was fol-
lowed by moment of silent prayer, and
then DR.. Power prayed fervently for few
moments Tor the advancement of God 8
cause. This was concluded by the Lord 9
Prayer, recited in unison by the entire as
semblage. and the devotional services came
to an end.
Mr.. Clark then announced that Christian
Endeavor conventions were for inspiring
and uplifting. and not for business. He
therefore asked all who desired to present
matters of business to the attention of the
officers to communicate with Secretary
Baer. who had desk on the platform. He
asked tho delegates to sing the hymn Of
welcome, printed in the program, and re-
produced in the original text in yesterdays g

Tar with the spirit and the words. The
hymn was splendidly rendered by the thou
sands Of voices.
Chairman Smith Introduced.
Mr.. Clark next said that while there
were many Smiths in the Christian En-
deavor societies, but on this occasion there
was but one, the indefatigable chairman
of the committee Of 80, Mr. w. H. H.
Smith.
There was a liberal burst of applause
when Mr.. Smith took the platform. He
said that before he went on to welcome
the delegates to the city he wanted to say
q word or two about the change Of ar
rangements occasioned by the disaster to
Tent Williston. He said he hoped that the
