Outlined.
The opening session Of the
seventh annual convention Of the
Texas state union of the Christian
Endeavor was held last night. An
immense crowd was In attendance.
This morning early, morning
prayer was held at the Y. NJ. G. A.
rooms, also at the Camden Street
Christian church, and both places
were completely filed. All tho
visitors are imbued with the
spirit of religion, and 1t seemed
that they will accomplish the
purpose of their presence here,
namely, "to do good, and get
good"
The novel and diverting feature
of handshaking yesterday was
the manner in which the delegates
introduced themselves to the con-
vention. The delegate would rise
as in an experience meeting, and
tell his name, from where arrived
and his purpose here. Some en-
tered into the spirit Of the occasion,
others rose with imperturbable
gravity, weighed down with the
awful responsibility Of communi-
eating their names to the brethren,
and with the air of one who
unburdens his soul OF guilty
secret. And so three thousand
people sat sweltering in the after
noon heat and listened to the
nasal and high falsetto tones as
name after name was launched on
their unprotected heads. The
convention is undoubtedly doing
good, but many a person will be
cast into trial and tribulation by
this weeks laundry bill.
An enjoyable feature of last
nights exercises was the ride
home, but this pleasure was some
what marred by the fumes Of pink
lemonade and strawberry pop.
This morning q large crowd
| attended the exercises, a part of
which consisted of the reports of
officers. The crowd remained on
the grounds until after this after
Moons exercises, and then pro-
ceeded to the denominational raj
lies in various parts of the city.
The feature of the service tonight
will be the address of DIR. Francis
E. Clark on "God's Great Purpose
