The Sixteenth Semi Annual conven-
ton of the Delaware county Christian
Endesvor Union was held in the First
Presbyterian church on Friday night
and Saturday. 1t was . successfull
meeting throughout, although not very
fall delegation was present owing to the
inclemency of the weather.
The speakers were all we'll prepared
and handled their subjects in a most
interesting way; but to deal with each
one individually and present the princi'
pal points set forth would neither be
expedient nor wise in this short space
but to show what vast thing the G E
movement is, Rev. @. A. Highield, o,
Manchester, on Friday night, gave vi
some statistics. In the nineteen year
since the first Christian Endeavor So
ciety was founded, there have been Six
ty Thousand societies organized, with
q present membership of about Thirty
five Hundred Thousand. Following
Mr.. HlghHeld's address Miss Leida, tn
state secretary, in few words, made I
: plain to every one what the state offic
ers expected of the various societies ii
Iowa. The speakers on Saturday morn
J. ing should all receive honorable me1
, tion, but if one more than the rest, Gel
d tainly Chaplain f. G. Beyers, Of til
Anamosa States Prison, deserves the
4 honor. OF course one can easily guef
what the tenor of bis remarks would b

. among the convicts. Also the "Echoe
from the London Convention" by th
n Rev. A. j. Benton, of Edgewood. and
"a paper on 81 Cor. 49," by Sue A. Me
40 rism, of Hopkinton, were each of vel
Z high character. There were some goo
n papers presented in the afternoon Sc
- sion, but of course great deal of Il
10 time was given over to the routine
q. business such as the reports of commi
~ tees and delegates.
t. The fundamental and predominant
50 idea of the whole convention seemed I
re be the idea of doing something. Ever.
one seemed to be on fire to the need {
n. greater endeavor and believe that ths
ge underlying idea of "doing" will be +
ss membered as the key note of this col
", vention.
