The Up. sc. E. Convention.

The Northwest Wisconsin Christian
Endeavor Convention held at the
Congregational church Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday Of this week,
was a refreshing service of praise and
conservation. Much of real christian
enthusiasm was awakened by the
mutual exchange Of ideas and plans OF
work, and both the local society and
the delegates express the most cordial
satisfaction with the results of the
session.
The banner day of the convention
was probably Tuesday, though the
convention sermon given Monday
evening by Rev. White of Menomonie
was full of live suggestions and
kindly power. But on Tuesday, the
conservation service led by Evangelist
Pratt in the morning, the reception
TO delegates in the afternoon and the
stirring addresses given in the even
ing by Evangelist Pratt and Rev.
Cochran Of Madison, made the day
the richest of the session. Wednes-
day was day full of work and re-
freshing changes. a sunrise prayer
meeting began the services. which
were continued 10y various addresses,
open parliaments, a question box and
various reports. Ia the evening the
the convention was closed with
an address by Rev. Adams of
New Richmond and a final consecra-
tion meeting.
About seventy-fiye delegates were
present, Eau Claire and Menomonie
having the largest representations.
The convention for next year is to be
held at Chippewa Falls.
