Cbr7stian EndeaU0rery to
Meet in C0nUenti0n
The Twentieth International Meeting Will Be
at Cincinnati July

FEW organizations have had
more phenomenal growth than
has that known as the Young
Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor. During the coming summer
(July 6 to 10) this society will
hold, at Cincinnati, its twentieth in
ternational convention. Originating
two decades ago in Williston church,
of Portland, Me, the membership of
this band of Christian young people
has increased, and is increasing, each
year in an amazing ratio. 1t is esti-
mated that no fewer than 100000
persons have put their names down
as members of this association. All
of the past conventions of this So
ciety, though held each summer in
new place, have been attended by
great crowds of enthusiastic "en
deavorers' from every state in the
union and also by delegates from
foreign lands. Each succC eding con-
yention has brougLt together greatly
augmented crowds of people who
have been bent on rubbing elbows
with coworkers from distant fields.
1t is believed that the coming conven-
ton will very far surpass, at least
in numbers, any previous gathering
of the society's members.
There is to-day scarcely city, vii
lage or hamlet in the country which
has not its Christian Endeavor So
ciety. That thousands of these local
societies will send official delegates
to the big convention is foregone

to the Junior Christian Endeavor,'
which is a society of no little power
patterned after the senior organiza-
ton.
Much interest centers about the
person of Dr. Clark, the father of the
movement. Twenty years ago he was
conducting in Williston church, of
Portland, Me-, large pastors class
of boys and girls, the members of
which were bound to their work by
pledge very s.milar to the present
Christian Endeavor pledge. His wife,
at the same time, had charge of a
missionary band of girls-the Mizpah
Circle The labor of these earnest
workers stimulated desire on the
part of the young persons of the
church for the formation of a band
or society of Christian endeavorers.
The society was formed February 2,
1881, and the present constitution,
materially vary from those adopted
in the pastors study of the Willis
ton church on the evening of that
day. The success of the enterprise
was soon admitted by all. DR.. Clark
wrote an article for the Congrega
tionaHst, the subject of which was:
.How One Church Cares for It's
Young People, 1t was something
like a thunderbolt. Churches in
other towns woke up and formed
Christian Endeavor societies. At the
end of year the first convention
was held at Williston church. The

POSTAGE STAMPS.

At the federal stamp factory 1850
pounds of gum are spread on stamps
every weekday.
The total number of Hawaiian
stamps destroyed by the post office
department foots up to 306,7S3.
For the new two and fve-centime
stamps contemplated by the Swiss
government no less than 500 competi-
tive designs have been sent in.
A dealer in Washington has been

entire stamp. 1t was at length sold

Gently introduced in Paris, where
they have given immense satisfaction
since their installation. The postal
authorities have issued orders for the
cons truction of five additional ve-
hicles.
Practically everybody knows that
the single rate of letter postage in
the United States is two cents, and
the great ma ajority are aware of the
fact that the single rate to European
countries is five cents. Yet it is as
serted that one-ffth of the letters
mailed from this country to Europe
have simply two-cent stamps affixed
thereon. Such letters are marked by
the postal officials on the other side
and double or penalty postage col
lected from the European addresses.

A great many people suffer from
Indigestion, women in particular,
and the cause of their suffering is, in
five cases out of seven, lack of fresh
air. Fresh air purifies the blood,
stimulates circulation and prevents
indigestion. A large number of suf-
ferers work in badly ventilated
rooms or stores or in stuffy offices.
They sleep in equally badly ventilated
rooms and they seldom think of a
cold sponge bath in the morning, yet
the cure for all their suffering is with
themselves.

Never DespOnd.

In cloudy days when rough winds blow,
The garden flowers their heads hang low,
And none may smile of all the row;
But let the sun appear, and 10!
Their lips a hundred roses show,
Aye, lift them UP that sun and air
May kiss them, blushing lovely there.
When fortunes sky is overcast.
When wild storms rave and cold the blast.
Despond not, soon the gale is past;
Despond not in the darkest hour
Greet the warm sun as doth the flower!
Yes, yes, dear heart, by sorrow tried,
Look up, be patient-sanctified.

Freedom,

Why seek to force your rules on me
And why should | set bounds for you?
The joys | find you may not see
Along the pathways | may pursue
Let me be free to go my way,
And you find joy as best you can,
AS long as we may truly say
We work no wrong to any man.
Be happy, and let me be glad,
You in your way and | in mine;
And let the mad world deem us mad,
And let the little dogs go whine!
Let me be happy in my way,
And you find joy as best you can;
Be tragic, if you please, or gay,
So that you wrong not any man.

next year the Second Parish church,
of Portland, opened its doors for the
gathering. During this year DR..
Clark wrote book which he called
children and the Church." and fol-
lowed it with other books and pam
phlets which helped to spread the
cause. In March 27, 1854, the first
junior society was formed by Rev.
j. w. Cowan, of Tabor, Ia. The next
conventions were held respectively at
Lowell, Mass; Old Orchard, Me-, and
Saratoga, n. Y.
Not long after the united society
had been formed Dr. Clark resigned
his pastorate and became president
of the new organization and editor of
the society's new paper-The Golden
Rule. He went to England, and a
Christian Endeavor society sprang up
there. About this time was in
augurated the practice of observing
Christian Endeavor day-the ami
versary of the society's birth-and
this day is now honored by endeav-
orers throughout Chris stendom. At
the seventh annual convention. which
was held in Chicago, there were 5000
! delegates in attendance, representing
33 states and territories. Prominent
workers like DR.. Barrows, Bishop
Fallows, DR.. Harper and Miss Frances
E. Willard were seen at this time
upon the platform. Large cities We'd

came truly mighty one.
When the denominational question
arose it was solved by the forma ton
of offspring societies such, for ex-
ample, as the Baptist Young Peoples
| union and the Methodist organiza ton
of Epworth League, each of which is
| now a thriving organization holding
its own big annual conventions.
In 1892 DR.. Clark and his family
started on a journey around the
world. This was for the purpose Of
establishing new societies and for
inspiring those which had already
been formed. Partly as a result of
this and later trips and partly from
| the natural growth of the move
ment, there are now thriving socie-
ties in Australia, Japan, China, India,
| Africa, Turkey, Spain, France,
Sweden, Germany and, in short, in
almost every country except Russia.
| Alaska, Mexico, South America, the
Hawaiian islands and many of the
| South Sea islands have Christian En-
deavor societies; there are several
army societies and at least one police
society; and there are organizations
among coilvicts.
The United society is unique or

tending the work. It exists simply
for the convenience of the individual
societies and for the purpose OF
broadening the scope of the great
work 1t Is doing.

conclusion and that every society
will at least seriously consider the
matter of sending a delegate is a
moral certainty.
1t is the yearly custom of the Cen
trail Passenger ass ociation to do all
in its power to increase the attend
ance at these conventions by spe-
cial concessions in transportation
charges and passenger accommoda-
tions, and this year it has ordered a
uniform rate of one fare for the
round trip. Convention tickets will
be on sale June 5, and and also
on July 8 at all points within $50
miles of Cincinnati and will be good
returning until July IA. If the trav-
eler desires to prolong his stay this
may be done by depositing the ticket
with the joint agent before noon July
II; this will insure an extension of
time until August 81. In all parts
of the country special rates will be
in force. Thousands of people who
are not members of the Christian En-
deavor society will no doubt take ad-
vantage of the reduced rates to visit
the exposition at Buffalo and other
places of interest.
The Cincinnati Music hall is the
auditorium in which the chief meet
ings of the convention will be held,
and this imposing structure is most
pleasantly situated just across the
street from Washington park. In
this well-known building are held
the biennial musical festivals for
which Cincinnati has long been
famed. This auditorium will accom-
modate about 1000 people and sti-l
leave room, on the stage, for mag
nificent chorus of 500 voices. Besides
the chorus there will be room on the
platform for 500 honorary guests and
speakers. A grand stage total of a
thousand people! This is what the
Christian Endeavor has become in
20 years. In addition to this, four
other buildings having separate
auditoriums will be pressed into the
service-to say nothing of numerous
churches of large seating capacity
vi IHc IOul ~
are exposition buildings, and are To-
Gated one on each side of Music
hall. Each exposition building will
seat 5000 people. The other two are
the Odeon and Odd Fellows hall
Being near at hand these will also
serve as excellent secondary meeting
places. If there is not enough suit
able space indoors overflow meetings
will be held in the park across the
way.
The chief attraction in the first
meeting will be the annual address
by DIR. Francis E. Clark, the origi'
nator of the Christian Endeavo1
movement. That the other meetings
which will follow will also have Wig
orous interest is assured by the
promise of the presence of such we'll
known speakers as Rev. Maltbie D.
Babcock, D. D., Gen. 0. o. Howard
Jacob A. Riis, Rev. Charles NJ. Shell
don, of Topeka, Kan, and Booker T

eye.

A Meadow Song,

The wind across the meadow blows
And all the grass is like sea;
Wave after wave its green tide flows,
And breaks in fragrance over me.
Above, the bright winged butterfly
Flutters upon an aimless quest
And now and then from out the sky
A weary bird drops down to rest.
There is no sound save of the grass.
The whispers of the waves long sweep;
Listen and hear them as they pass
A murmur-Hush-a murmur-Sleep,
