Ihey have even gone so far as TO
declare that In expressing a desire Tor
an income tax we were not showing
proper respect for the Supreme Court
which declared the last income tax law
unconstitutional. We believe that we
have right to express q desire for an
income tax we bclicve that we have n
right to express hope that Il future

has done. And In expressing that de-
sire we were not subjecting ourselves
TO any just criticism. Nothing i'm our

ed from G:30 to 1:10 o'clock. Then came
short adjournment for breakfast and a
walk about town. The great meetings in
the big tents were originally fixed for
$3.50 a. IN. They were crowded even
before the services began. In tent Wash
ington, President Francis Il. Clark OF
Boston, Mass, presided and Percy i.
Foster OF Washington acted as director
OF the vast chorus OF singers. The SER
vices in tent Endeavor were conducted
by the Rev. Howard b. Grose Of Boston,
with .. II. Excel Of Chicago in charge
OF the music. The address of welcome
to the visitors OH behalf of the District
OF Columbia was delivered by Commits
sioner John w. Ross. and was responded
to by Prof. w. w. Andrews of Sackville,
\. IL. Otherwise the services were SINH
lar in every respect to those conducted
in tent Washington. the annual reports
and addresses being duplicated for the
benefit OF the thousands unable to secure
admission to the tirst-named tent.
President Clarke chose for his text:
what God hath joined together. let no
man put asundcr." He said the platform
Of the Christian Endeavor was for Christ
and independence OF the individual and
Of each society in this work. In ffteea
years on this platform 1000 societies had
been formed. 4, 100000 Endeavorers had
been enfollcd, OF whom 100000 are to-
day members. and 100000 others, En-
deavorers in all but name had been en-
rolled in purely UNCONVENTIONAL societies.
Ten million Eadeayorer meetings had
been held ami over S2.OO0,000 given in
benevolence through UNCONVENTIONAL and
church channels. He urged Christian
Endcavorcrs 10 continue the good work,
and especially organize cvangelstic work
as Christian duties OF Eldeavorcrs.
General Secretary Bacr took his text
from Luke Kill, - He said Pennsyl-
vana still heads the list of Christian
Endeavor societies with 3.2T3. The next
in order was New York. 2071: Ohio.
2.311 Ontario, 1917; Illinois, 1.700 In

ures, he said, did not include numerous
other kinds of Christian Endcavor So
cieties that are fast becoming sturdy
branches Of the mother tree-such as the
Junior, intermediate, the Mothers and
the Senior Pennsylvania led in junior
societies. He spoke OF the good these
societies had accomplished in behalf OF
morality. Sunday observance, saloon
warfare. Christianity and mission work,
for which $154,022 had been given the
past year.
