  der God, made the movement what it 1t; who, by unwearied toll at their desks, by inspiring addresses at con- ventions innumerable, by journeys up and down this great continent and across into every land, by many book and magazine article by their best thought and their unceasing prayers, have lifted Christian Endeavor upon its ,tfrl, ,N1o oe ipa let and the church"
 One of these devoted officers is MT. Shaw himself, and his coming to New Haven at such time and on such an occasion should be heartily appreciated by all Christian Endeavorers. All such should turn out in large numbers to greet the birthday messenger. At the close of his address MT. Shaw will con- duct a personal conservation meeting. The meeting will open with service of song at 7:45 p. m.
