AT MOUNT VERNON.
Thousands of Endeavorcrs Make n
Pilgrimage There Today.

Thousands of EndeavOrcrs Make n
Pilgrimage There Today.
Several thousand Christian Endeavorers
added an extra day to the great convention
today by making the pilgrimage to Mount
Vernon, where interesting exercises are to
be carried out this afternoon under the aus
pices of the United Society.
Boats left for Mount. Vernon twice during
the forenoon and again at 2 and o'clock
this afternoon, and it )wask estimated this
afternoon that the four boats had carried
down upward Of five or six thousand peo-
pc. Wherever there are twofo three Chris
tian Endeavorers gathered together one
may be certain there will be singing, and
from every boat the strains Of Endeavor
hymns were waited across the placid wat
ers of the Potomac
For the majority Of the crowd it was the
first visit to the tomb 81 the first President,
and for these especially the day was most
ENJOYABLE one. Many went, down on the
electric road, and they, too, did not forget
the saving grace Of song.
The exercises at the tomb will be held
after the arrival of the 8 o'clock boat this
afternoon, and, while comparatively simple,
they are expected to be quite impressive.
Near the tomb an Endeavor tree Is to be
planted. 1t will be known as 1.-The peace
oak, and will be imbedded by President
FRANCIS +. Clark. Then the march will be
taken up to the mansion. and there brief
services will be held, consisting of appro-
pirate addresses by DR.. Clark, Secretary
Baer and others. and the singing Of a
number Of hymns.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE,
The Interesting Meeting Held at Cen
trail Hall.

The Interesting Meeting Held at Gem
trail Hall.
One Of the most important meetings Of
the Christian Endeavor week was that held
Sunday afternoon at Central Hall to dis
cGss the question of Sabbath observance
About 1000 attended, Notwithstanding the
intense heat. The meeting was led by Mr.
William Shaw of Boston, treasurer of the
United Society, in place of Rev. DIR. Cuyler
of Brooklyn, who was detained at home
by sickness. Mr.. Percy Foster of Wash
ington led the singing. In opening the
meeting Mr.. Shaw refuted certain state
ments that have been published regarding
on Sunday. and in the name of the officers
written by them for a New York paper,
which had published them on Sunday
against the protests Of the authors
Interesting and forcible addresses were
delivered on the subject of Sabbath OBJ
servance by Mrs. Henry T. McEwen Of
New York, Rev. j. b. Dawson of Mil
waukee, Rev. Alexander Alison of New
York and Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of This
city, secretary of the bureau of reforms
The speakers all agreed that Christian
Endeavorers should unite not only in per-
Sonal observance of the Sabbath but should
use every effort to cause the enactment of
laws looking to more complete installa-
ton of the idea of Sunday rest and Sunday
observance In this country. Mrs. McEwen
called attention to the work that was being
done by the Christian women of this coun-
try on this line. Mr.. Dawson gave an out
line of his work i'm the west. among the for
eigners and among the labor unions, and
Messrs. Crafts and Alison spoke enthusi-
aStically for a more general observance of
the Sabbath in America
