Dear Friends and Brethren: The Time for
your San Francisco Endeavor convention is
drawing near. l wish 20 express, in the name
OF the committee and OF the societies OF Chris
tian EEdeavorers in Germany, our heartfelt
sympathy with the proceedings on the days
when the convention shall lake place.
The topic for the meeting, The Lie Filled
With the Spirit" is grand aud beautiful, and
Will pray 10 God in communion with you,
that ms blessing may be given 10 all speakers
and hearers, that the whole convention
may become thoroughly spiritual one whose
influence will last a long time.
We German Eudeayorers are still in the be-
ginning of the movement, but progress is Wis
ible, thank God for it, If could arrange that
in one of your prayer meetings the Endeavor
Society of Germany be one of the subjects TO
be prayed Tor we should be very grate1ul, and
l am sure that afterw rd we would feel in our
wor the influence of your prayers.
We were very glad that your dear president,
DR.. CLARK, here last autumn. ], especi-
ally, was glad that he and Mrs. Clark came
often 10 my house, and that two oil his chill
dren lived with us for some months. May DR..
Clark be spared for many year in order TO
lead and i. fiuence the great work GOD has
given him TO do.
I would be delighted if l could be present al
the convention, but it is quite i'm possible for
me this year TO leave my pace and nv duties,
yet expect l will be with you during the whole
time, and when the report reaches me shall
read il with he utmost interest. Perhaps you
could let me have some newspaper reports
about the convention before the general report
is given in the Golden Rule"

LONDON, oct. 5.-The condition of
Edward Langtry the former husband of
Lily Langtry, the actress, Is the same
this morning as when he was admitted
yesterday into the asylum for the in
sane.
The sudden breakdown OF Langtry's
health Is strange and unexplained up TO
the present. He has always enjoyed the
best physical health, was an ardent
sportsman, lived n great deal our Of
doors and was temperate in his habits.
Iangtry was travelling last Sunday from
Cork to London. At Crewe, the great
railroad junction, twcnty-one miles
southeast of Chester, he wandered from
his train and was twice found In dan
gerous positions ON the rails. He ap-
pcared TO be dazed and his face was dis
figured.
He accounted for his wounds by say
ing that in crossing the Irish channel
he had fallen down companion ladder
and badly injured himself. 1t Is sup
posed that Langtry wandered about all
Sunday night, for he was discovered in
cab yard on Monday morning. The
unfortunate man was then delirious and
much worse than on the previous day.
During the afternoon yesterday Lang
try was taken before a magistrate and
was committed to an asylum for the In
sane pending inquiry into his mental
condition.
