A smooth-faced, determined looking
youth, d. B. Eddy of Leavenworth, Kan,
member Of the Yale band, was introduced to
speak of THE Great Resources of Missions"
Mr.. Eddy spoke of the means, mechanical,
inventive, political and social, through which
God had given assurances that the world is
to be won for Christ. The responsibilities
OF Christians in carrying out Gods revealed
plans, he said, are heavy and they must 60
forward. Pray and work." he said, lest
our enthusiasm roll back upon ourselves.
We are playing with the world and letting
motives of avarice and elf-righteousness
be uppermost Pray, pray always for guild
ance''
The closing feature in Tent Endeavor was
an address by Dr. Robert E. Speer of New
York on THE Great Blessing of Missions"
Home Mission Rally.
The sentiment of the home mission rally
in Tent Wiliston, as proposed by Rev. DR..
Hill of Massachusetts, was the Greek
proverb, They Bearing Torches Passed
Them On from Hand to Hand" Many home
missionaries from western states and terri
tories were presented. Rev. DR.. w. W.
Boyd OF st. Louis delivered an address on
"Our Country's Many Problems" He dis
cussed the two questions of immigration
and the race problem. For the solving Of
the immigration problem he proposed three
remedies-to maintain American ideals at
their highest point by an aroused public
sentiment, to legislate against the admit
tance of the pauper and vicious classes of
Europe. and to bring to bear combined
and quickened Christianity upon the stran-
ger within our gates.
A n "a
that In his judgment the government made
great mistake, which it will not be apt to
repeat in the Philippines, when it put In the
hands of the negro all the privileges and
franchise OF thei fresst government on the
globe. There are two sides to this race
probiein,' said rBrsdBoyd. There is not
shite nan in: the north who, If his wife or
daughter were outraged by d beast, would
not rush summarily to vengeapce. But that
does not excuse, though it may ,palliate the
diabolical crime of lynching, and the hour
is at hand when decisive steps must be taken
to abolish it. Christianity must settle this
question:; legislation cannot do it,
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson Of New York
spoke upon Our Country's One Salvation"
Manly Men Are Needed.
The following is a part of DR.. Jefferson's
address:
We are living in the greatest of centuries.
Now that it seems that God means us to be
a leader OF nations and races it looks as il
the republic could not go down. But Greece
fell, Rome fell. The present is no guaranty
of the future. What this nation needs Is
more manhood. the manhood of the carpen-
ter of Nazareth. GCd give us manly men,
men who politics will not buy; men who
will not be ruled by selfishness.
What are we going to do with the liquor
c legislation
but great outpouring of the spirit that will
crush the liquor traffic. What shall we do
with the corporations that devour the small
ones? Law is not enough. What we need
is love. What shall we do with militarism,
one of the blackest demons that ever came
out Of the pit? They are sick of militarism
across the sea. but there are men and women
in America to whom the song OF battle is
sweet. Militarism Is insanity; we cant beat
it down with argument. Read the life OF
the man who rode not on horse, for IL
represented war. but on the animal that
stood for industry and patience. The Prince
OF Peace told us to beat the swords into
plowshares. What shall we do with social
ism? We are surrounded by theosophy,
Buddhism. Mormonism and other strange
teachings. Let us go to Him who represents
truth itself
We have law enough, intellect enough-no
nation over had more-but what we need Is
a higher, diviner, sweeter type of manhood
Americas great redemption her salvation, is
obedience to the Man who died on Calvary.
This afternoon the juniors had their in
nngs, both in the audience and on the
platform. The junior rally was carried
on in Tent Endeavor, the Detroit children
who took the leading parts being massed
on the platform to the number OF thou
sand and upward. The floor was filled with
children and their teachers and leaders.
The program started with singing ''The
Banner of the Cross" with right hearth
ness Other songs followed, the children on
the stage alternating with those on the floor
and then altogether. The visitors were
appropriately represented by Mrs. Elizabeth
Austin, superintendent of the Detroit
Juniors union.
Growth of Christian EndcavOr.

lustrated in a spectacular manner. Chill

banners and other pictorial devices we're
