woman is an injury to all women.
After this address, which called forth
the warmest expressions of approval,
Miss Katharine M. Jones of New York
spoke on Zone Woman's Power" She
said: What these women as a body are
going to do is very little, but what EACH
enormous" Then she spoke of misplaced
enthu iasm and how, If it were all di-
rected in one channel, how many good
movements it would carry along. She
then cited little story to show how great
lone woman's power" was. She said that
little woman had gone into the mount
aims of South Carolina, where there were
nothing but hardened men, and after
staying there seven years and giving all
her time TO the service of God in saving
the souls OF those people, she had left it
in most hopeful condition. A church
had been dedicated, there was school
house, and the people were In good con-

Mrs. George w. Coleman OF Boston fol.
dress on "Our Reasonable Service" She
said: "Our first reasonable service is to
give ourselves to God. We cannot truly
give ourselves to others because we are
self-centered. 1t is only after we give
ourselves to God that we find center out

mindful of it, and at last the sound be-
came so loud and continuous that the
audience caught the humor of the thing
and laugh went round the hall, while
the speaker retired from the field with the
knowledge that he had his say olr.
If the old-time Puritanical Sabbath is
ever again installed in this country it will
have as one of lis most ardent and enthu-
siastic supporters Rev Robert Johnston
OF London, Canada, If speech yesIer-
day was any criterion. He is a very rapid
talker and has TO his credit the fact that
he boiled down a thirty minute speech
Thursday o twenty minutes, and when he
stepped on the platform he promised his
hearers that he would try 10 cut his pres
ent twenty minutes down to ten, but he
missed his guess aud the buzzer got there
first.
DR.. Johnston is an ideal platform man,
and his tall form, its slenderness intensi-
fled by his closely buttoned clerical coat,
and his cear-cut, intellectual face, with
its frame OF black hair and beard, was
lightened by the fash OF his eye, that told
that he had the blood of the old Scotch
Covenanters in his veins; nor did his
speech disabuse the hearer of this idea.
for he launched into a eulogy of the
Scotch Sabbath, and prayed for its return
in tones as fervent as they were eloquent.
He said that the keynote of all society
is the family, and here Is where the begin
ming of Sabbath-keeping had TO be to
make it a success. The family was the
foundation OF both the church and the
state, and it was only when the family
and the church coulu be relied upon to
keep the Sabbath holy that the state had
the power 10 enforce the Sunday laws.
Without the church the state and the city
were impotent to enforce laws against
Sabbath breaking, and as long as the
members of the church set the bad exam
pie they could not expect those who ere
rot church members to abstain from
Sabbath breaking.
II he had his way he would close every
thing. Nc one should even walk in the
fields or woods; no one should 90 to
museums or parks; no one should do any
la Dor of any sort, but all should rigid ly
adhere to the commandment OF God and
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it
holy"
DR.. Johnston is one of the magnetic
takers of the convention, and he usually
succeeds in filling his audience with much
OF the spirit which seems to belong
naturally to him, and while thousands OF
those pre- sent did not agree with him to
the iull extent of a Puritanical Sabbath.
he drew most hearty and ready round of
applause at the close of his address. as
well as numerous purctuations of strong q
Endorsement OF the many good points he
made.

WOMEN GIVE
THEIR IDEAS
An Interesting Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.
Prominent Speakers From Abroad
and a Vast Audi
enCe.

The First Congregational Church held
services for women only yesterday after
noon. The large edifice was crowded to
the doors and many of tie ladies we're
forced 10 content themselves with seats in
tae outer hall. They swarmed all over
and flied every nook and corner in the
building. They were fringed round the
platform and every step leading to the
pulpit was covered with those anxious 10
hear the speakers who had come from the
far East. There must have been many OF
the missing trunks delivered yesterday,
for the audience were all arrayed in the
most becoming OF inner gowns and
bonnets.
Mrs Frances Clark presided and intro
duced the speakers IN their turn. The
services opened with a praise service, led
by NJ IS Ida Clinch of Sacramento.
Several hymns were sung with right
good will. after which Mrs. Henley sang

MOTHERS CONFER.

A mothers meeting in connection with
the convention was held at the headquar.
ters of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, 132 McAllister street, yester-
day afternoon. The rooms were crowded
with ladies and much interest was mani
tested In the proceedings.
The meeting was called chiefly to hear
an address by the Rev. Eugenie st. John
of Kansas City. This lady is regularly
ordained preacher of the gospel and has
travelled over eight countries delivering g
addresses on science and religion, the
proper training of children and other
helpful subjects. During the next two
months she will make tour OF the State
and on her return to this City will be
asked TO address another mothers meet
ing.
In her address yesterday afternoon she
spoke of the home and the proper train
ing of children, dividing her subject into
two ptness in obedience in the
whole life and how to give them occupa-
ton.
The lady spoke eloquently and was list
ened to with the closest attention through
out. In concluding she averred that the
American home was not to-day typical of
what the true American home should be.
1t was not up to the standard of the typi-
cal Canadian home of to-day. The moth.
ers were in a large measure responsible
for it.
1--WE live in the greatest country under
the SUM-" said the speaker, "but to keep
up our grand form of republican govern
ment we have to be in the future a
stronger race than we are to-day. One OF
the chief essentials to that end is to el-
force promptness in obedience in our
children"
Alter the meeting adjourned the ladies
personally thanked Mrs. st. John for heI
able discourse and wished her godspeed
in her philanthropic mission.

I. Studd OF London and the hymns by ID.
Nj. Lawrence of this City. Mr.. Studd' s
topic was, Deepening the Spiritual Life "

ness. He counseled them to throw away
all besetting worldliness and with Christ
as pure example 60 steadily forward in
deeper spiritual life. Suffer as the

OAKLAND ENDEAVORERS.
Juniors Have Their Day at Devo-
ton Across the Bay.

OAKLAND, CAL. July 11.-To-day has
been observed as ''Endeavor Sunday" in
all the churches in Alameda County.
Nearly every pulpit was occupied by a
visiting pastor, and the theme OF nearly
every discourse was value OF the big con-
vention.
The decorations of the churches were
very elaborate and in some instances
showed that large amount OF work had
been done. At the First M. Il. Church
the floral effects and the neat arrange
ment OF great numbers OF "C. +. nags
were remarkably tasteful.
The Tentb-auenue Baptist Church also
shows that Eendeavorers do not hesitate
10 make great efforts TO show how sincere
is the wei lcome to the States guests at
many other churches-notably the First
esbyterian and First Congregational
some very handsome decorating was done.
The feature of the day was the great
rally OF the Junior Endeavorers at the
First M. E. Church this afternoon. The
organ and choir were perfect bowers of
flowers and forestry and all around the
galleries pretty c. E. bear flags were ar
ranged.
Long before o'clock, the hour set for
the commencement OF the service, Junior
Endeevor societies, with their banners,
gathered at the church from all parts OF
The county. The young folks were agog
with expectation to see and hear the
national Junior organizer of the United
Society, joseph n. Doiph.
Organizer Doiph gave very interesting
address,. He dwelt on the value OF junior
societies as paving the way toward the
senior societies and gave >ome history OF
the wonderful growth OF the movement
among the young folks Robert Cairns
and others spoke few words.

CHINA MISSIONS.
A London University Man and His
Foreign Work.

Charles t. Studd, the eloquent and
scholarly young Christian Endeavorer
from London who conducted the "Quiet
Hour services at Calvary Presbyteria
Church yesterday late in the afternoon, is
an English university man who short
time ago returned from Mort ern China.
He is one of band OF young men of Lon
don who entered the missionary field pay
ing all of their own expenses.
They sailed tor China in 1884 and for
ten weary years remained at their posts of
Ia Dor in the interior of that oenlghteu
land. They were successful in their noble
work, and many mission stations now
f1ourishing in the Flowery Kingdom
crowned their efforts. The young pilgrim
missionary is one of the most able and
most enthusiastic laborers in the Chris
tian Endeavor ranks, and many who lis
tened to his words IN the quiet hour"
service were deeply affected by his zeal.
