full day greeted the thousands of
Christian Endeavorers, who are as

committee made this the great day of
the convention. Many meetings
were held and all were large and en-
thusiastic. The Music hall auditori-
ums were in use during the morning,
noon and evening.
The rally in Auditorium last even
ing was in many respects the most
remarkable gathering of the conven-
tion. Over 5000 persons were present.
Cincinnati, July 10.-The fourth day
of the conference of the Christian
Endeavor society was a light one so
far as the program was concerned,
but the Endeavorers in their deter
mination to miss nothing were out
enmasse, in attendance at the two
big meetings yesterday. At the last
moment the three big music hall raj
lies were turned into two meetings
which were held in Auditoriums En-
deavor and Williston.
After the usual two quiet hour
meetings in the morning which open
every days program, the big auditori-
ums were thrown open for discus

Cincinnati, July 1.-THE twentieth
international convention of the Uni
ted Society of Christian Endeavor
was brought to a close here last
night. The convention from begin
ming to end was Il brilliant success
and while many of the visitors were
disappointed by the enforced absence
of Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman, of New
York, who is seriously i'll at his coun-
try home at Winona Lake, Ind, his
place on the programs was filled by
others. Both President Clark and
Secretary Baer expressed themselves
as highly gratified with the conyen-
ton.
The climax of the convention was
reached in the two great farewell
meetings and simultaneously in Au-
ditoriums Endeavor and Willitson
last night. Fully 10000 people were
present. In a spectacular way they
rivalled all of their predecessors.
President Francis Clark, of Boston,
presided in Auditorium Endeavor
and Treasurer William Shaw, of Bos-
ton. in Auditorium Willitson. They
were purpose" meetings, and as the
roll of states was called the leaders
of the Various delegations responded
