day considered the action OF the
Colorado and Utah roads in allowing stop

business contrary. as they claimed, 10 the
explicit terms OF the original agreement.
The action is specially agyravating,, be.
cause 1t is in the nature of breach OF
faith with the northern transcontlneD al
lines, which stayed out of business west
bound on the understanding that an OPP
portunity should be given them to make
the most of it returning. 1t has been sug-
gested that the roads east of the Missouri
River should refuse to honor tickets on
which the stop-over has been granted.
Honoring them will involve an extension
of return limits and that is phase OF
the question in which these roads east OF
the Missouri are directly interested.

DELEGATES VIEWS.
Many Visitors Speak Their Opin-
ion of the Convention.

IUll VI lllS NOlINCUllOlls
Many delegates yesterday expressed
opinions on the success of the convention.
All are of the belief that it has done un-
told good. Following are the opinions in
detail:
r. w. Morse, Shenandoah, Iowa: t'The
convention has quickened our spiritual
life and strengthened us in the cause OF
Christ"
D. w. Fahs, Indianapolis: at has given
grander idea of the home mission field.
Rev. W. NJ. Baker, Wetherstield, Conn.,:
''It has done more good than any institu-
ton or organization that ever came to

reality of the religion of Jesus Christ"

ness OF Christian living and the value OF

State Union: 1t has broadened the con-
ception of Christian work, deepened in

Spirit. He is the vicar of Christ and the life
OF the body, which is the church. The lesson
may be taught by contrast. That which does
not grieye the Spirit deepens the spiritual life
That which is TO be avoided is the cause of
His being grieved. OF all the epislles that
ever came from the heart OF the great Apostle
Paul this letter to the Ephesians seems to me
about the sweetest and best. 1t is the epistle
IN which we find "the heavenly places" men
uoned SO many times; 1t is the epistle IN
Wnlch we lind so many different names ap-
II Is the letter in which we find the very high
est spiritual truth presented in all the Bible.
But we grieve the spirit more perhaps in
matters OF doctrine than anything else. We
grleve him in our lack OF assurance. John
says. "Ihis IS written that ye may know ye
nave eternal life,' aud yet Christians are con-
nnuaiy praying,. Save US at last" Do you
not think that grieves the spirit of God?
one WORD IN closing. In Ephesians iv:3l.
the apostle says, ''Let all bitterness aud
wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil.
speaking be put away from you, with all
malice" This IS practical thought with
which to close. Paul would seem to indicate
that we grteve the spirit by yielding TO any OF
these things. The spirit of God is grIeyed
whenever we allow our old nature to trium phi
over our spiritual nature. For God has prom.
ised In his word TO set us free from the law OF
sin and death.

A GARDEN OF BUDS.
Meeting of Junior Endeavorers at
Mechanics Pavilion.

1t was bouquet of buds that was the
most beautiful OF all the floral display at
Mechanics Pavilion yesterday aftern Don.
Flowers were banked along the front OF
the stage, palms waved amid the BAN
ners and roses were every where, but the
great body of thu hall contained mass OF
human buds, the mem bers of the Junior
Christian Endeavor Union. Their fresh
faces, eager eyes and bright dresses pre-
sen,ed a pleasing contrast to the crowds
of adults who have thronged all of the
other sessions.
Probably no better method could have
been found to give an adequate idea of the
magnitude of this gathering than the fact
that these thousands of children have

The closing address was made by Rev.

spoke on Some Spiritual Returns for
Missionary Investments" and said:
There is nothing novel or modern in the
principles which lie at the base OF the mission

engaged the thought of this convention this
morning But this unitarian age is likely 10
ask concerning any enterprise IN which IL Is
invited to invest, does 1t pay? Will our IN
vestment yield any returns? My first thought,
then, is:
1. Missionary investments yield a sure re-
turn in the development and enrichment OF
character. You aspire to the largest. g and
est Christian manhood and womanhood. The
enlargement and enrichment OF the new ma
ture born in you of the Holy Ghost is the goal
OF your desire and ambition.

church that merely holds its own will soon
loose its own. Neglecting the people, the
people will neglect it; leaving the lost to die
without the Gospel, it invites. insures and
justifies its own decay.
No man can expect 10 taste the deepest jov
of salvation, to behold the face OF his Lord and
hear his approving voice, if he is content TO

one of the greatest ills flesh Is heir to and
might result disastrously to the uniniti-

Undoubtedly the best weapon, barring

have your life or die in the attempt, he
charges from about 30 yards, when you re-
ceive him at the bayonet's point he
rushes at you with flashing eye, looking
the very embodiment of fury. Drawing
himself up to height Of 10 feet or more,
with wings outstretched and Kissing like
cobra, he makes four or five strikes. You
retreat pace or two, so as To avoid the
fork piercing through his neck, and hold
him off at arms length till he learns that
his efforts are useless. Drawing the FORK
sharply away, you strike him blow on
the neck, rendering him insensible ana
taking away his breath. This quiets him
for awhile, till he RECEIVERS from his be-
wilderment and makes a fresh charge,
when the fork is again presented.-Strand
