BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.
They Listen to a Mastery Address by
an English Brother.

CINCINNATI, July 13.-The feature of
the three sessions to-day of the tenth in
ternational assembly of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union was the address of DIR. f.
q. Gange, of London, England. Just be-
fore he introduced, telegram of
greeting was received from the Mexican
Union, in session in the City of Mexico.
The star-spangled banner and the union
jack hung together conspicuously, in front
of the speaker, and his opening tribute to
them was mastery peroration. Then he
referred to the mother tongue of the two
nations, the sisterhood Of their religions,
the brotherhood of all their interests, secu-
lar and religious, and prayed they would
never meet i'm conflict. And from this he
proceeded into the 10y of service and
made of his topic a veritable joy forever
to all who heard him.
The rule of this vast assemblage is to
have no handclapping or stamping, no
noise whatever, but simply the waving of
handkerchefs without cheering. These
quiet demonstrations are beautiful, but not
stirring. The bottled enthusiasm became
uncorked during and at the close of DIR.

Finally ii was announced that Dr. Will

in China for twenty years. would deliver
the benediction. He did more than was an
nOunced. He offered a fervent prayer for
the deliverance of his brethren in the ORR

the change from scene of great JOY to
one of touching sadness
