Dr.. Hoyt Holds ,,I' This Standard
Before Endeavorers.
MAKES A SPLENDID ADDRESS.
This one of the Features Of the Second Day
Of the Endeayorers' Conventional Day
Full Of Interest-Featur:s
for To-Day.

The sessions of the Christian Endeavor
Convention at the Third Christian Church
yesterday were we'll attended and proved
exceedingly interesting. Two sessions
were held-one in the afternoon and the
other at night.
The real feature of the day was an
address at the evening session by DR..
Maryland Hoyt, pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church of Philadelphia, and one OF
the associate editors OF the Christian En-
9deavor World, the international organ of
the Christian Endeavor movement. His
theme was ."Thc Best Way OF TanQuish-
ing
DR.. Hoyt is a speaker OF International
reputation, and the convention expected
great things of him. They were not dis
appointed. They were held spellbound
for more than an hour by his eloquent
and lucid plea for higher and better liv-
ing. DR.. Hoyt is a Christian Endeavorer
and is proud of it and his connection
with its growth in the world
The central thought of this wonderful
address was: Grown the right, the true.
the pure, and keep them crowned. and in
the presence of the crowned the bad and
the false will fade and fail and pass
away
Owing to the fact that DR.. Ioyt must
return to his pulpit in Philadelphia for
the Sunday services, his. address. which
was to have been delivered tonight. will
take place just before the close of the
afternoon session to-day. His theme will
be "a Main Duty of Christian Endeayor
Soul Winning.
