When the conversion opens simulta,
neousy in the Mechanics and Wood
wards pavilions this morning the sight
that will greet the Endeavorers' eyes will
be one of the grandest ever seen in this
City. No such attempt at decorating has
ever before been undertaken upon the Pa
ciic.
Everything has been in a state of chaos
untiI late yesterday afternoon, when
everything seemed to gradually vanish
that was not a part of the arrangements
and they assumed their proper places.
Tiers upon tiers of seats lead back 10 the
very ceiling in both ends of the Mechan-
les Pavilion. They are on the level for
100 feet back in front and on the sides,
after which each row is raised two inches.
Around both sides IN the galleries is like

Never i'll its history has the Mechanics
Pavilion been so handsomely decorat ed.

dom maniiests itself in marked lines OF
hardship but undoubted perseverance.
There are aged people trem bling on the
verge of the grave, with crutches and
without; people in middle age, who ex-
pect a happier life in the one to come,
and people just ascending the uplands OF
existence. They all seem contented, how
ever. and wear their badges of Chris
tianity as though they felt, as they un-
doubtedly are, that they are only doing
their duty TO God, to civilization and to
man. Then there are young people,
whose early teaching, not their own
logical thoughts, led them TO join the vast
army of worshipers, who stroll along the
streets as though they found more pleas
ure in viewing the strange scenes than
they did in listening to the words OF the
sages. who have come from distant lands
to reach in the convention the teachings
of the gospel. Youth, however is alone

from the hosts of unchrstian people who
throng the CITY. They differ In religious
belief alone. They all demand the same
accom- m cd ations that make life worth the
living to the infidel and the heather.
They m ust eat and sleep and in this dusty
City daily change their linen. In conse-
quence there is complete congestion i'll
The City laundries, and at times the keep
ers of restaurants are at loss for room
and accom- m odations for all who apply.
Some of the laundries are blocked with
soiled clothing and the proprietors OF
those establishments are of the opinion
that many who always wish to appear on
the street with cean linen will have to
purchase the s,me from dealers. And
the restaurant men are also of the opinion
that many of tbs visitors will have to keep
unseemly hours for Christians in order 10
satisfy the inner man; in fact many Will
have to await the coming of the small
hours of morn to dine. Such is the pres
ent condition of affairs, and hourly, with
every special train, the outlook becomes
more cneerless and startling to those of
nervous temperament coupled with hos
pitality.

wave in generous profusion throughout
the length and breadth OF the City. The
now sa cred colors of Christianity, the
colors of the Chris tian Endeavorers, seem
10 float proudly; predomlnating over the
Nations EN- blem, the red, white and blue,
as though 10 tell the story that without
Ch ristianity those banners OF freedom
would fall to the earth, trodden upon by
the pagans of the world.
Under those colors. long the streets of
San Francisco, now daily walk thousands
of beings .congregated in the cause the
colors herald. They are all good people,
and among them are honored citizens of
every Stale in the Union. They have
come from the north, east, south and
west, and are joined together by mighty
chains stronger than ever were those that

Notwithstanding the fact that the vast
congregation of the Endeavorers is held
together in one common holy cause, there
is vast difference in the personnel of the
delegations from the various districts of
the country. 1t is gigantic study of hu-
man nature-tne study of the features
and habits of all these people, citizens of
one nation. They differ in many ways,
but stamped OH the features of ali are the

BERKELEYS BUSY DAY.

BERKELEY, CAL, July Five wng-
ons were busy all this afternoon in Ber-
kelley collecting flowers for the Alameda
County headquarters at the great Inter-
national Convention. Tomorrow is Ber-
kelley day, and will be observed at the
county headquarters by especial attention
to the college town. No regular pro-
gramme will be presented, but as many
visitors as possible will be presen ted with
bouquets of carnations, sweet peas, rose
geraniums and roses.
Fifty young ladies gathered in Trinity
NJ. E. Church this evening to prepare the
bouquets. They Will be ready at the con-
ventIon the first thing in the>morning,
and by 80 the deluge of blossoms will be
in place Tor visitors.
A special feature will be- a large sc. E.,
the first letter of marigolds and the sec
ond OF purple sweet peas. 1t will block
the entrance to the county headquarters
and will give very striking effect.
Those in charge of the work are Chair
man Earl c. Swan '99 and Sui -Chairmen
w. Martin, Miss d. Henderson, Miss
Piper, ]. n. Force, z. r. VI. Jenkins, L. S.
Gear and C. w. Way.
the appeal issued by the chairman for
assistance from the public met with
very ready response. From all parts of
the town came effers of flowers, and citi-
blossoms ready for the Endeavorers when
they called.
1.-The present IS not the best time of the
year for flowers" said Chairman Swan,
"but we shall have display that will do
credit to us and we expect TO provide an
immense number of visitors with bou.
auets, as remembrances of the day."

has loaned them 1or the exhibit. Around
the whole Is framework of palms. which
relieves The otherwise high tones OF the
grouping.
The first exhib bit to the left of the altar
is made by the ladies' of the Episcopal
Society, and in it they have combined
history, art and biography. Want OF
wall space necessitates q cramping, but
here there is a most pleasing grouping of
posters, paintings and photographs, show
ing that the claim of priority OF presence
is we'll based. A poster by Miss May
Holden is q memorial OF the first Chris
tian service held on the west coast in 1879
when Frances Fletcher. chaplain on the
snip of Sir Francis Drake held services,
which is the first recorded missionary
prayer held on the continent.
The other poster by the same artist is
testimonial 10 the Episcopal Seamen's
Institute. Below these are the portraits
of the three Bishops of California, as
Coast.
Adjoining this comes in order the ex-
hiblts of the Central Methodist Episcop pal,
First Presby terian, which dates back to
1919, the Baptist, Congregation al, Chris
tian, United Presbyterian and Christian,
all of which make showing of the prog
ress of their work by a series of photo
graphs.
On the right of the altar is the exhibit
of the Home Mission of the Presbyte-
rians, followed by pictures of Glenwood,
where are held the annual Sunday-scho
meetings. Then follows the two Japanese
mission exhibits, which are distinctly
characteristic of the race and excite III
terest as an chronological study, as well as
an advance of Christianity.
Adjoining these are the three Chinese
mission exhibits-Methodist Baptist and
Congregati which show a profusion
OF o-ientalism with the cross above the
dragon. These oriental exhibits give
quite bit of color to the subdued shades
OF the Caucasian displays.

SPREADING LIGHT.
What Protestant Missions Have
Done in California.


For several days mystery has been at
tached 10 the work of bevy Of ladies
who occupied the gallery at the east end
of the Mechanics Pavilion.
They have worked behind closed doors
and the secrecy maintaine naturally in
creased the curiosity of the feminine por-
tion of the vast concourse of people
thronging that immense building.
Last night the mystery was unveiled and
most beautiful scene thrown open to
public inspection. 1t was the exhibit of
the missionary societies of San Francisco,
and for artistic conception, as we'll as COM
pleteness OF design, it has not been sur
passed in this week OF beauteous decora-
ton.
The general design is a reproduction of
one of the old Catholic missions, and the
effect OF massive front with towers is
heightened by the deep toned bell an
hundred years old which hangs in the
mimic tower as it once hung in the stone
tower OF the old mission, and as the sound
rolls forth to call the meeting to order
one can we'll imagine himself in front OF
one of those edlnces erected by the early
Catholics. Nor is this effect lessened
upon entering the room, for in the far end
is seen a most startling reproduction of
one of the old altars. This effect is pro-
duced on a fiat surface by deft and artistic
grouping of ancient church EN- broidered
tapestry as a background, while photo
graphs and water colors form the body of
the altar with surmounting cross.
The photographs are all of the old
missions of California, both exterior and
interior, and are loaned by Vickery and
Taber, while the water colors are from the
