Rev. George F.. Pentecost, D D., OF Yon-
kers. n. Y, and of England, was then in
troduced. Then The convention seized
the opportunity to make the welkin ring
with greeting cordial and hearty. Nor
was the applause at all the beginning, for
the speakers address was frequently and
violently interrupted with hesrty ap.
proval.
The discourse was both scholarly and
eloquent.
Literature is the greatest human pos
session that we can have" he said, land
that is fortune, it is capital for life
and it lies within the easy reach of every
conscientious young man and young
woman, and our Christian Endeavor
movement will be greatly strengthened,
and it will be compacted and solidited by
the measure Of it's rich literary posses
sions.h
The speaker then dwelt upon the kind
OF literature that should be read by those
having little time to devote to culture.
He made the assertion that ninety-nlne
hupdreths of the popular literature OF the
day could be dsregarded as useless. He
counseled every young person to know al
least one good book thoroughly. In con-
clusion he paid mastery tribute to the
Bible as a mine of literary wealth.

Rev. B. Tyler, ID. Of New YORK, was
then intr duced 10 make the presentation
sp ech. He spoke OF the part which
Chris ianiiy had played in the history of
this Nation and argued it should be a
Christian Nation. He then formally pre-
sented the banner to California for the
most aggressive work toward Sabbath
observance.
The banner was OF silk. having the
stars and stripes on one side and the

pie from all parts of the Christian world"
Continuing his address Canon X Rchard
son said: 81 regret that no ,Episcopal
church in this City has Christian En-
deavor Society. In our city. London,
Ontario, seven parish churches all have
Endeavor circles, and the bishop is an
enthusiastic Endeavorer. The society has
been found a great help to the clergy
wherever it has been tried. The people
who object 10 introducing il into the
Episcopal Church might as we'll say 4
won't have Sunday-school, because the
Methodisis and Presbyterians have Sun
dav-schools.'
"Our clergy can adopt the Christian
Endeavor to the nece >sities of our own
church. The cardinal principle of tine
society Is pledge promising to read the
scriptures and support ones own church.
Now you know if there is a church that
believes in pledges and vows it is our
own. There is the pledge OF baptism,
which is ratified at confirmation, and we
have the pledge of the Lords Supper. As
far as the pledge is concerned we believe
in pledges
Canon Richardson concluded by ex-
pressing the hope that Rev. John A.
Emery, the rector OF the Church of the
Advent, would soon found a Christian
Endeavor Society in connection with his
own church.
heN. JOEu a. Emery mdue au nQOreSS
OF welcome to the Endeavorers and said:
I'VE do not have 10 come to the nine
teenth century to find that men and
women were always supposed to work to-
gether, for the Scriptures say, 1t is not
good for man to dwell alone. Con-
tinulng, he spoke in high terms of the
work achieved by the Kings Daughters
and the Brotherhood OF 81. Andrew. and
mentioning those societies in connection
with the Endeavorers said: 'AlI are ami
mated by the desire to make the world
better and to try to help some brother or
sister,"
At the suggestion of Canon Richard
son conference was held in which a
number OF speakers spoke warmly in favor
OF the more general introd uction of Chris
tian Endeavor circles into the Episcopal
church.
J. Dickman of Honolulu was another
speaker who advocated the introd uciion
of Endeavor societies into the Episcopal
church and the general sentiment of the
conference was on the same lines.

Rev. Charles a. Savage OF Orange. N. j.,
conducted brief devotional services, in
which the convention joined by repeating
in concert Psalm cxxi and the Lords
prayer
DR.. Clark said this convention was gen.
orally admitted to have a very successful
opening, and there were many features
about it which would be more memorable
than any other convention. "But there

Orcdt Outpourlng at the Evening

There was not vacant seat at Wood

partially due to tie fact that the Me.
chanics' Pavilion overflow was larger than
in the afternoon, and also in q large part
to the presence as presiding officer OF
Father Clark.
Punctuality is cardinal virtue with
Christian Endeavorers. 1t was just &c.

EARLY MORNING PRAYER.
Many Pilgrims Gather and Pray in the
Churches.

The Christian Endeavor people not only
believe in prayer, but plenty of 1t, in sea-
son and ont OF season; there being no
''out of season. with Them the lin sea-
son" covers all time. Hence the forty five
early minutes between $50 to 7:l5 A. NJ.
set apart for morning prayer-mee ting in
eight churches, where the members of the
convention are earnestly requested to
gather and open the days work. There
was some doubt felt at headquarters and
In several other quarters regarding the at
tendance in the churches at that early
period, for the delegates who have been
under high nerve pressure for week
might eject to enjoy in bed few hours of
a golden California morning. Surely
charity, which is an accepted article of
faith, would cover so slight derel ction
as this.
But neither the morning nap nor the
fatigue Of a rush over hill and dale for
thousands of miles, nor the temptations
of a six-o' clock car ride to the Park or
Leach were potent TO draw away these
earnest Iaborers of the purple and gold
from the old-fashoned prayer-meetine.
Consequently every one of the eight
churches were well filled and, IN the lam

it is not hard to realize how he succeeded

LIKE A FIELD OF WHEAT.
What the Vast Convention Audience
Looked Like.

The huge audience at the Pavilion yes
terday morning at the opening OF the
great convention presented a most striE-
ing appearance. Every available bit OF
seating space IN the vast hall was fl led 10
overfowing, and yet the ases were kept
perfectly clear. TIere were between 5000
and 10000 people present, almost all OF
them enthusiastic Endeavorers.
When DR.. Clark, The father OF the Chris
tian Endeavor movement, was introduced,
the scene that ensued was almost inde-
scribable. Ten thousand people were on
their feet at once. Ten thousand hand
kerchlefs waved violently in 10, 600 hands,
and ali this time there was not sound CT
applause Then came the dull "scruucl"
ing" of chairs as the vast audience re-
seated ITSELF and theD-a wild burst OF
applause broke loose, which sounded ike
the threatening rumble OF distant thun-
der.
Looking from one of the uppermost
rows where the singers were seated the
aud fence resembled nothing so much as u
vast field OF wheat, now still, now nod
ding, first 10 one side and then 10 the
other, as the waves of emotion ran tum-'
bling through it. There were scores and
scores OF bright-looking, interested faces
on every siie, all looking expectantly
toward the speakers, interruptirg them
occasionally with bursts of applause and
cheers, Tor it was plainly an audience that
| had come to cheer, and it was not long in
giving tree rein TO it's inclination.

REFORMED EPISCOPALIANS.

The Reformed Episcopal rally was to
have been held in the Thiri Congrega.
tional lecture-room on Fifteenth street
yesterday afternoon. The audience which
gathered there was doomed to disappoint.
ment, however, rs the Right Rev. Samuel
Eel ows, ID, LII d., of Chicago, who was
to have addressed the meeting, did not
arrive.
Rev. Dr.. Morgan OF the Reformed Ep;s-
copal Church opened the meeting with
prayer and the singing of ''All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" after which he
gave brief outline of the work of the
church.
Dr.. Morgan expressed himself as being
greatly interested in the Christian En-
deavor movement and prophesies grea.
things for it.
He waa followed by Rev. D.. Fletcher of
Manchester, Eng, and the Rev. Mr. Allen,
who spoke in Com mendation of the Re-
formed Church movement.
DR.. Morgan contemplates arranging an
other meeting IN the near future, when
the Bishop Will speak.
