ADDRESS, in which he welcomed in be-
half of the city and state executive
committee those who had sacrificed to
come to this gathering and struck the
key note of che convention in point of
deep interest in praying for more ag-
gressive Christian work in Utah The
speaker said in part that this conven-
fbon was one of some prominence. on
account of its being the first Christian
EndeaVor convention under statehood,
and also because such widely known
persons as Sankey, Shaw and Mr.. and
Mrs. Stebbins We're to take part in the
programme. Referring to the history
OF the work in Utah, attention was
called to uhe fact that the first society

Utah Christian Endeavor Union was
:, organized in November, 1888, by Rev.
J. Brainard Thrall, who was president
OF the society for five years. Mr.. George
Ward, secretary of the united society.
being here at the time of the organi-
zaftfon. The field here is large and the
workers comparatively few, but this
only means greater opportunity. The
speaker urged his hearers to ATTEND all
the sessions of the convention, to be-
come better acquainted with the work
being done and planned
1.-THE YOUTH AND THE COMMON
WEALTH"
The address of the evening delivered
by Rev. S. E. Wishard, D. D.. Presby-
terian synodical missionary, was full of
bright suggestions to the young peonle
and sparkled with much witticism.
The commonwealth was born, said
DIR. Wishard, when Charles the First
died Of that fatal malady, too much
royalty. He supposed the people and
parliament were made for the king.
That mistake has been frequently made
since, but the long parliament'' sat
dong enough to hatch the common
wealth which persisted on English soil.
The ''Mayflower'' contained the germs
of the new commonwealth which has
blossomed and oerspread the land.
The first relation of the youth to the
commonwealth is that of dependence.
Those who guide the affairs of state
now were buc children a short time
ago. Those who will take our places
coon are the youth of today, and de-
pendent on the commonwealth
Another relation is that of subordi-
nation. Whoever will be great must
first be small The aost art of guiding
the human will in its formative stages
reeds to be rediscovered. The common
wealth should supplement the parental
obligation Our system of education is
constantly improving. There are
doubtless better things in store when
the state shall consent that the word
of God shall have its place in our
educational work.
This relation Of the youth to the
commonwealth is also one of loyalty
and devotion; also of ornamentation
