The preliminaries over, General Score
tary DR.. Frank L. Wilkins OF Chicago
presented the annual report of the board
of managers. In 1t he referred to the fact
that the total membership of the organi-
Zation exceeded 100000, one and all young
people enthusiastic in the work of the
church. He pointed out that the Baptists
allowed great liberty. Every church was
left to it's own discretion as to how its
young people should be organized. There
were over $500 Christian EndeaVOr Socie-
ties in the denomination; but the TACT
that the BaptiSts were largely enlisted
in the interdenominational fellowship of
Christian EndeaVor did not preclude their
having a young peoples denomination Il
society of their own. and the fact was
chat q denomination that numbered 1000
600 adherents in America had perhaps,
more reason than other denominations
for maintaining such an organization. He
went back to the first organization of the
union, in Chicago in 1891, when 5000 dele
gates were present, and commented upon
the phenomenal growth of the society. 1t
was but an indication of what might he
expected from the future. The address
was lengthy and repeatedly applauded
Its adoption was moved and seconded by
Rev. Dr. Alexander Blackburn of Cam
bridge, Mass and Rev. DR.. w. w. Ian
drum of Richmond, Va, and was carried
unanimously. A recess was then taken.
