Thousands of Endeavorers' took
the cars toward San Pedro park
yesterday afternoon for the after
noon session, conducted by the
Juniors. To many it was their
last day In San Antonio and the
only chance they would have OF
attending the meeting, and the at
tendance was consequently large.
The young people put up pref
ty program Of songs, recitations,
quotations Of appropriate scripu.
tural selections, Chautauqua
drill and addresses. On the return
to the city about 5 o'clock every
trainload of the visitors broke
forth in choral songs that resound-
ed above the din Of the noisy mo-
tors as they flew through the
streets of the city.
At night the larger part Of the
visitors had gathered at the park
pavilion before the wind and rain
storm broke over the city and there
remained, holding service while
the elements bsttled outside and
around them. There were many
timid ones among them, but also
stout hearts, that encouraged the
weak ones by their trustful ex-
amples and the meeting was con-
Quoted with no suspicion Of a
stampede, until, toward the
close the storm Gained down
and the GOODNESS of the atmosphere
resulting greatly refreshed all.
During the service Mrs. s. M.
