Christian Endeavor Convention Memo
rable One

San Francisco. July 13-"The interna-
tional Christian Endeavor convention of
1897 will pass into history as in some re-
spects the greatest and most memorable
Of all Its fifteen predecessors. An at
tendance OF more than 1000. a registra-
ton of over 2SOoO actual Christian En-
deavorers, is equal 10 an attendance Of
5000 In any large Eastern city. when
we remember that half OF the attendants
crossed the Rocky mountains in order to
reach the convention.
But better far than numbers and
more worthy of note was the spirit OF
the convention. Its earnestness, is genu-
inc ring. is high spiritual quality. 1t
brought a blessing to California: II will
leave blessing behind it. and all the
delegates will take a blessing home with
them as they scatter TO the remotest
parts of the world. Francis f. Clark,
president"
The above message, written for the
Associated Press by the founder of the
Christian Endeavor movement, concisely
summarizes the work of the convention.
Today many OF the delegates departed
to their homes, and many more win
depart tomorrow. A large proportion Of
the strangers. however win visit various
points OF interest before returning to

OF Enthusiasm.

Detroit. July l3.-The National Repub-
li-a1 League convention opened today
with q fair attendance Of delegates for an
of year in politics. Nearly all the states
are Represented although the quotas of
delegates are small in several instances.
Tho absence Of party leaders who are
prominently identified with the admins
trative and legislative departments OF the
national and state governments is a
conspicuous feature. The assemblage
comprises chiey the younger members OF
the party. who. while they have not at
tained eminence in political life, have
plenty Of enthusiasm and energy. The
partisanship OF the league was illustrated
in the fact that Mayor Maybury. dem
ocrat, was not invited to offer a welcome
10 the delegates, Colonel H. M.Dufield
having been selected instead by the local
committee.
