of this trip.
This weeks Christian Endeavor World
states that 1850 tithe-givers have been
enrolled in the Tenth Legion.
Clark, president of the United Society Of
Christian k.ndeavor, has this to say re-
garding the growth of the Christian En-
deavor movement during the last three
months: II am rejoiced to report a con-
slant progress in numbers, and l believe
also in the character and quality of the
work accomplished. Not only in our own
country and in Great Britain. where the
registration has been unusually large Of
late, but of other lands is this true. A
new interest has been aroused in Paris
From Switzerland, too, good news comes,
a strong society having been organized in
Geneva. In Germany there are now sixty
Christian Endeavor societies, and the sec
rotary of the United Society of Germany
writes most hopefully. From Gottburg, in
Sweden, hear Of a society of 300 members,
whose pastor Is most enthusiastic. From
India Egypt and China also come good
news of progress. Mexico soon proposes to
have the largest young peoples gathering
ever held within her borders. Our prison
societies have received a genuine impetus
from the Quiet Hour movement, which has
taken hold of the hearts Of the prisoners
in wonderful way, no less than 23S Of
them In one prison having been enrolled
among the comrades. The character and
steadfastness OF our floating Endeayor
brethren have been again illustrated by the
terrible disaster to the Maine. Coming
nearer home, / have found larger degree
of interest than usual in the many local
meetings which I have attended, and I
have been impressed. especially in country
districts, with the life and vigor of our
Christian Endeavor Unions, which, on the
whole. were never doing better work than
today"
