Songs of the Navajoes,' and there are
notes of the music, as recorded on the
photographic cylinders, accurately scor-
ed. Mr.. John Comfort Fillmore writes
From the standpoint of the scientific
student of folk song, all these Navajo
songs which I have had the opportunity
to study are extremely interesting. This
interest, too, is of several different
kinds. The Navajoes, like all other max
ers of folk music, use their songs as a
medium of poetic and emotional expires.

the quality Of melody they employ for
this purpose. One may note the range
and kind of intervals. the kind of rhythm
and meter and the quality of tone
which these people find appropriate to

default, now rightfully belongs to the
United States.
Resolved, that the committee on ju-
dietary is directed to examine into and
report whether such allegation is true
in fact and in law, and hen to report
the nature and character of the right
and title of the United States in and to
said property, and the Descriptions or

panies has any lawful right or equity
of redemption to Said property.

yorcd interests.

When President Clark called the gather
ing to order at Woodwards Pavilion
yesterday N morning promptly at $50 A. N.
there were but few hundred people
present. but gradually the attendance in
creased until the lower portion of the
editice was well filed. The galleries,
however, remained almost entirely de-
serted.
Choral and congregational singing
opened the exercises, r. Powell Evans
acting as musical director during the ses-
sion. Rev. e. J. Lyall of Nj lbrook, n. Y,
conducted the devotional exercises and
Rev. Samuel Dunham OF Binghamton,
N. Y, led in prayer. The singing of
hymns followed each address.
Rev. Barton w. Parry, Ph. D., of San
Leandro, delivered the first address of the
day His subject was 'The Senior Society
of Christian Endeavor" The salient por-
lions OF his talk follow:
The Endeavor Society was designed to work
among and build up the spiritual life OF the
young people Many of us have felt the need
of something especially adapted for the older
members.
Christian Endeavor was organized for Christ
and the church, and the local church, more
than county or State unions, is the best place
to honor the name OF Christ.
The senior society is expected to be vitally
connected with the midweek prayer-meeting.
The plan OF organization may vary, in order
to conserve local interests, but the general
plan OF Endeavor will be followed.
Christian Endeavor is force in the world

young peoples society for some time. few
years ago the junior power was added. Now

was close bound together by the tie that
binds the whole human worid-the tie of
klnship in Christ and fellowship in work.
From the dapper little representative of
Japan to the gray-bearded patriarch from
Australasia, there was gamut of individ u
ality that made stronger contras. be-
cause CT the unanimity of purpose, and it
is difficult to designate just where was the
most interest and to whom belongs the
credit or holding closest attention. 1t was
a sym postum of mentality of race and of
unified thought all brought together in
compliance with the divine .utterance that
at His name all nations shall bow"
While the earthly powers ruling over
the nations of the earth might be at vari-
ance for political reasons this meeting
showed that the fatherhood OF God and
brotherhood of man vas an accepted fact
among the subjects who looked upon the
kiDship in Christ as being above and be-
yond the imaginary lines which mark
geographical divisions according to the
laws of nations.
There was little need OF President
Clark's admonition to give the glad hand
in welcoming the speakers from foreign
lands, for the audience seemed i'm bued
with desirs to show that the kingdom of
Christ was not within the metes and
bounds of earthly dominion, but extended
10 the ullermOSI pdTLS OF the WOrlQ, ana
was willing 10 take in few of the other
mem bers of the planetary system. From
the time that Mr.. Robinson sang 1.-The
Home Land TO the choral utterance of
the Kismet benediction there was feel
ing OF kinship that peryaded the whole
assemblage, and made the brown, the yell
low and the black man feel that on earth
as we'll as in heaven there was no color

which made most fitting introd uction to
the International character of the meet
ing. As the immense auditorium was
packed with people long before the hour
set for the opening services, there was no
delay on tins score. and President Clark
promptly called upon Rev. K. Inszawa to
tell Japan's story. The natural diffidence
OF the bright-eyed speaker was eightened
by his inability to master the peculiar
twists of the English language. and his
address was lost unen the audience, who

Mr.. Inazawa told how Christi anity had

ton.
In marked contrast to the little Jap

Evangelist David who brought the greet

hours at a stretch that he did not see how

Old China was an isolated nation, having
no fellowship with other nations aud desiring
none. Her conceit OF superiority was very
great She called her people Celestial, but all
outsiders barbarians. She built great wall
and sealed up her ports to keep these foreign
devils out, for she wanted intercourse with
them. And this is the spirit of the old China
to-day.
Now China recognizes her longcontinued
mistake. She has opened her ports 10 foreign
intercourse. She is reaching out to nations

Many Good Speeches at
Mechanics Pavilion.
Speakers of Many Nations En-

Meeting.

The great meeting of yesterday was at
the Mechanics Pavilion last night There
were many good speeches, and there was
considerable humor before the evening
was over.
When General Secretary Baer an
nounced the sad news that Dr. ConwelI of
Philadelphia was too ill 10 attend and de-
liver his address he expected that there
wcuid be some evidence on the part of the
auuienCe that they felt bad over the mat
ter, but his announcement was received
with round of applause because he at
the same time said that Rev. Ira Landrith
of Nashville had been put on as a substi-
tute.
Landrith started off with dog story
and 1900 people simply went wild over
