Rev. Kerr b. Tupper, OF Philadelphia,
| spoke upon dangers 10 the American peo-
pie. He said:
Four threatening public perils in America
there are today winch must be recognized,
battled against, overcome, or the glory OF
our national fabric will be swept away Or
at least sadly dimmed.
l. First, an unrestricted, uninteiligent,
unassimiated, n-Amcrican immigration.
Our fOreisn-b born population and their off
spring aggregate today more than 81 ,OUO-
OO0- Our American cities have ceased TO
be American centers. Eighty per cent OF
New York City is foreign. One-third OF
Boston is Irish. and one-fourth OF New
York. Many of these foreigners are noble,
heIpful, enterprIsing citizens, but, in later
years, there has been an increasing number
OF paupers and criminals.
2. Inc seculariZation and desecrattOnJf
the Lords Day-a day OF rest for all and Of
worship for all who will. A basal stone
of all our truest, noblest, civilization is
this. And yet this stone is being loosened
from all directions by violators or Christian
law.
5. The prevalence and constant spread
OF corrupt and corrupting literature.
The cider Pliny was wrong when he de-
c!ared that there is no book so bad but
that some part may he read with care from
beginning 10 end, books in which Sin is
Siiued and crime made attractive. 1t is
reported that works of impure and trashy
character, to the number OF 200 900, are
annually issued from New York city alone.

There were no glaciers to cross, but the

challenge TO enthusiastic effort TO reach the
highest pinnacle OF Christian Endeavor and
Presbyterian attainment.
After the singing OF Onward, Christian
Soldier Moderator John L. Withrow of
Chicago, was introduced. He said it
ought To be understood that Presbyterian
ism stands first for Il system Of govern
meat, not system Of doctrine. AS there
are Calvinist Methodists, SO there
might be Armenian Presbyterians and it
might do the church good. The warm

enthusiasm to work.

vention and welcomed the visiting as we'll
as the local Endeavorers.
Rev. Z. B. Bagby, of this city, had a
few pleasant words TO say on the occasion.
Re-. ]. z. Tyler, of Cleveland, o., made an
impressive address, during which he read
the reports of the State secretaries OF the
Christian Endeavor Societies OF the differ
ent States, showing great increase in
membership and work OF the societies con-
nected with the Christian Church. The
report from the secretary of the societies
In Texas showed that during the past year
in that State the increase in the number
OF societies has been over one week.
The reports showed steady and graft
flying progress In the work of the Christian
Endeavorers of the church of that denomi-
nation.
"I would like to speak of a few things
which / think, If observed, would make
this organization greater, stronger, and
even more successful" said DR.. Tyler.
First, less frequent changes in the officers
OF the society I think would be beneficial.
"Second, 1 think it would be a good thing
If all our State superintendents would
prepare a handbook containing ineNTma-
ton of all our Christian enterprises. It's
information that We want. We can never
get enough OF it.
"Third, I have learned by experience
that it is not wise to enlist our young peo-
pie in a special branch OF the work. It
separates them from the older people and

''As our home mission board is in great

liquidation OF the debt of this hoard such

"And we appeal TO all Presbyterian En-

This was passed unanimously and Revs.

shocked by the sight of so much lucre
and Paderewski is grieved by our effort
TO pay, for his music in dollars Yet there
was time, not many years ago, when
Paderewski ran about barefoot because
he had no shoes to wear. He has shoes
to wear now and maybe they hurt him.
But we are an amiable people and IL he
wants to return to comfort, good humor
and first principles by giving his concerts

Let Paderewski take off his shoes and get
some fun out OF life. lie Is too stuck up
altogether, and there Is no reason for
his peevish humors. Things are not so
bad as they seem to be for our ill-tem-
pered foreigners. We intend to give
party one of these nights and shall invite
Duse and Paderewski TO have a good
time. Like as not a liberal helping of
strawberry shortcake and the Virginia
reel afterward would settle tho matter.
We rather like Paderewski and are sorry
TO know that he has dyspepsia. Perhaps
his red hair is ingrowing and gives him
fevers in the head.
