| interests of the Juniors were not forgot
| ten as was evidenced by the numerous
rallies and conferences at which this most
important branches of endeavor work
was considered in its many phases.
| 1t was estimated that the attendance
at the various meetings aggregated over
| 300, 900 exclusive of the noon evangelis
tic meetings held daily in many parts OF
| the city.
| Detroit time was a puzzler to En-
deavorers as there are four kinds of time
| in use in that city, sun time, local time,
eastern standard and central standard
time. There are 80 minutes difference
between eastern standard and local
time. Local time is 80 minutes slower.
Then IN Detroit sun time is % minutes
faster than central standard time, 80 if
you are making engagements always
inquire if it is central standard, eastern
standard local or sun time and add 81
minutes or subtract % minutes or sub
tract 80 and add 49, or figure it out the
other way. SO as to keep your engage
ment without breaking your watch.
The New Jersey delegates numbered
about two hundred. The Rev. DIR.
Brett of Jersey City, the State president
was indefatigable in looking after
the interests of his followers. His
geniality was ever apparent and HE
prominence in Endeavor circles was
noticeable. He conducted one of the
testimony meetings in Tent Williston'
responded for New Jersey at the closing
services and preached at the Lincoln
avenue Methodist Church on Sunday
morning. The Rev. T. E. Davis, chair
man of the delegation gave personal at

that hostelry one of the very best in
the city. Courtesy and attention mark
ed all connected with its management
from proprietor Berger down to the bell
boys.
Detroit is rightly called e The City
Beautiful. Its streets are clean and well
paved; magnificent parks, adorned with
beautiful flowers, ferns and shrubbery
are to be found in the heart of the city,
while in the suburbs Belle Isle and Pal
mer Parks are real beauty spots with an
acreage running well up in the hun
dreds. The trolley system is as near
perfection as has yet been approached.
Six tickets are sold for 25 cents, with a still
lower rate for school children. Special
low rate tickets are also sold between 6
and 7 o'clock both morning and evening.
The closing exercises held on Monday
evening in the two great tents will
never be forgotten by those present.

their answers were read to the delegates
and evoked great applause.
