 Illness-Discussion of Various Sub- 1 jects-A Banquet to President Clark
 Given Beautiful Silver Loving Cup. l Cincinnati, July 9.-The fourth day
 of the conference of the Christian En- | deavor society was a light one, so far | as the programme was concerned. At 1 the last moment the three big Music | hall rallies were concentra ted into two meetings, which were held in Auditori-

 modate the Endeavorers. Five of the prominent speakers were absent owing to illness. These are Rev. Wilbur Chapman, Rev. George D. Purves and Rev. Charles c. Hall of New York, Rev. John Henry Barrows of Oberlin, O., and Rev. F. w. Gunsalus of Chi
