"BROTHER IN BLACK"
Christian ndeavorers Discuss Meth
DDS of Helping the Negro.
At Denver Move Was Given Momentum
to Unite Young Peoples Societies OF
Various Protestant Denom-
nations.

Denver, Col, July IA movement
of signal Importance in the religious
world has been launched by the Chris
tian Endeavor convention, now in ses-
sion here. 1t Is a tentative proposal
to work for the amalgamation of the
Christian Endeavor society, the Ep-
worth league and the Baptist union
and 1t will be presented in form Of a
a petition from the Endeavorers to the
other national bodies. In taking the
initiative in the advocacy of such
union the Christian Endeavor society
points to its priority of establishment
as justification.
Sunrise covenant services in five
churches marked the opening of the
last day of the twenty-first biennial In
ternational Christian Endeavor con-
vention. Large audiences attended
these early meetings and thousands OF
Endeavorers pledged themselves anew
to carry on the work which the organi-
cation has undertaken. From $3.50 to
$50 study classes were in session at
six churches. China" was the sub
ject of discussion by the foreign mis-
sion study classes, Of which Rev. Har-
Ian P. Beach, of New York was the
leader. Rev. E. E. Chivers, D. D., OF
New York, led the discussion of Our
Brother in Black" at the session Of the
home mission study class.
Tent Fell on Eight Thousand.
Denver, COL, July 14.-The big Tent
Endeavor, where the Christian En-
deavor convention has been held for
the past four days, was blown over
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock
while more than 5000 people were at
tending the proceedings. The injured
numbered nearly score, but fortu-
nately none of them were seriously
hurt. The presence of mind of A. NJ.
Ramsey, of Chicago, who sprang to a
chair and called to the people to hold
up the canvas and poles, undoubtedly
prevented danger of suffocation, but
as it was many women tainted and
were extricated from the folds OF the
canvas with much difficulty.
Impractical. Says Bishop Joyce.
Minneapolis. Mimi, July 14.-Bishop
Isaac w. Joyce. president of the Ep-
worth league, does not believe that the
Christian Endeavor suggestion made
at Denver for the amalgamation of the
Christian Endeavor, Epworth league
and Baptist Young Peoples union is
practicable. Each, he says. stands for
it's own denomination. the Christian
Endeavor society being Congregational.
The Epworth league represents all
branches of the Methodist church in
America.
