CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES.

Communicated.
During last week two important meet.
Jugs have been held -cne on Monday
evening by the executive committee OF
the convention; and the other on Tues
day evening by the local union in Del.
aware Avenue Baptist Church.
In the first, plans were formulated for
tho work OF our October convention,
and If these plaus are faithfully and
efficiently executed the coming conyep-
tion will be the "banner'' one Oh to
method and practical results. During
the summer months our president has
prepared the outlines of the work of
every committee, and un Monday even
ing he explained to each chairman his
duties in detail. All present resolved
to work and pray earnestly for the sue
cess of the conventions, and il is to he
hoped that the assistants will catch "a
spark OF the enthusiasm. We have not
space to give ths names OF the mem
bers of the various committees. Ii is
enough to state that about l20 Endeav-
octers will be actively engaged In work.
ing for the convention.
The meeting held on Tuesday evening
was important, not because of its at
tendance nor because OF the work ao-
complished, but because of the subject
assigned for conference This was the
question How can we best promote
Observation-Disclosures fellowship amongst
our members?"
A paper was read by j. P. MCGOWAN,
the main points of which were as fol-
lows:
In church work we should use the
came principles that underlie all our
business transactions.
In all commercial enterprises of to-
day. two principles stand out clear and
dlHtinct-tirst, the directness with
which an object is pursued. If j. Pier
pont Morgan wishes to establish com.
munication between the steel product
OF America and its consumers in
Europe, he does not Maggie" over the
price of n ship: he buys a whole line
OF steamers. IL tinanciers of Philadel-
phia aim to iLOnopolize rapid transit.
they obtain tsone say .'grah'} fran,
chise that gives them the right of way
through every important street in the
city.
Second-The consolidation Of kindred
interests under one head. Instead of
allowing eight or ten steel mills to ruin
one another by competitive bidding,
Morgan merges them all into one great
trust and pays Schwab $1,000, 600
year to manage it. 4.
Now, applying these two principles
to the solution of the problem before
us, let US go direct to the root OF the
matter and abolish all our denomina-
tional societies, fedeiating them into
one homogeneous organization having
one president, one set of officers, one
constitution and one central nlace of
meeting.
This plan seemed go radical that it
was deemed best to postpone discussion
upon it until the next meeting of the
local union in October. The press COM
mittee deems this question SO important
that it desires to obtain the views Of
in general. Nse NJ.

b. Foster, Jr., 3033 Market street, will
receive prompt attention and, as far as
possible, will be answered through the
