| "Without doubt the attendance at this con-
vention has very much exceeded that of any
| other Christian Endeavor convention ever
| held in the matter of those present at the
various meetings. This estimate takes into
account the great convention at Boston in
1895. That is to say, out of the $4,000 En-
deavorers registered, there have been more
who attended meetings than at any previous
time. The estimate of attendance at meet
ings gives total of 800 500 There were 49,
600 Endeavorers in attendance, including
Detroit delegates. Thirty thousand five
| hundred persons simultaneously attended
strictly Christian Endeavor meetings. These
figures do not include the 66 noon evangelis-
tic meetings, which had a total attendance
of 5000, and 100 protested conversions"
