CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOR CONVENTION.
Practical and Inspiring Addresses Deliv-
cred by Church Workers.

meeting was presided over by Rev. w.
Hayes Moore.
After devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. Samuel McGill, Of Ration, the
delegates and visitors were welcomed
to Santa Fe by Rev. w. A. Cooper, pas
tor of st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
church, in pleasing and fitting ad-
dress. In the absence of G. w. Ward,
of Albuquerque, president of the union,
Rev P. A. Simpkin 3of the Gallup Con-
gregational church, responded in hap
py manner. ,gf-1
The address, Soul Saving" delivered
| by Rev. Bruce Kinney, pastor of the
/, caused some Of those present to wonder
| if the modern church had not widely de-
parted from apostolic customs and
| teachings in reaching out for converts.
Simple in style, effectively delivered,
and practical in it's bearing upon the
work of the church and it's members,
the address made an impression on the
| audience which will be lasting and ben
eficial
Rev. Mr.. Simpkin in his address on
THE Twentieth Century Church"
proved himself an earnest speaker and
eminently practical in his views as to
what the religious orders would become
| and accomplish the coming century.
The tendency of the times, occasioned,
no doubt, by the returning swing of the
pendulum of public sentiment from the
overweening chase after the almighty
dollar, which, for the past half century,
has engrossed the minds of men, to
higher conception of duty to fellow
men, will enable Mr.. Simpkin to live'to
see many of his desires in that partic-
ular realized.
