The Christian Endeayorers who will
meet in their great annual international
convention in San Francisco tomorrow,
are en- route to the metropolis OF the Pa
clhc coast about twenty thousand
strong. ON account of the great dis
lance and cost OF travel, San Francisco
did not expect 30 large an attendance
OF delegates from the east; neither did
the railroads. which are being tested to
their utmost capacity, The chances are
that many trains will be delayed and
many thousands OF the delegates Will
see little OF the convention.
While the object OF great gathering
Of this nature In meeting on the extreme
western coast, when the largest percent
age of membership is In the east, is good,
the event is proving that the selection
was not altogether wise The means of
getting there are necessarily limited.
and when the attendance from the states
east of the Mississippi numbers from a
dozen TO score OF thousands of dele
gates the Inconvenience can be under
stood. 1t illustrates what might hap
pen in the event OF the calling OF ma
tional political convention for the Pacific
slope. as has been so often attempted.
Large national gatherings which at
tract so many thousands of people are
better when held at some point nearer
the centre of population, and accessible
ity should be always consideration.
Aside from these considerations the
San Francisco assemblage of Christian
Endeavorers will be one of the most
notable of the many famous conventions
that have been held by that body of
earnest young peop!s The twenty thou
sand delegates represent membership
OF millions az workers in the cause OF
Christianity. whose Influence for good
in this country IL felt in every commu-
nifty, Like the Epwortn Leaguers. the
Kings Daughters, and other. Of similar
organizations, they occupy a field pf
work peculiarly their own, and by. ex-
ample ard prccept are exercising q de-
cided influence for the betterment of
humanity, for purer government and
higher ideals of manhood md woman
hood. The worl; in San Frcrc!rco dur
Ing the next few days will be watched
with interest throughout the entire
