Rev. Clarence A. Barbour. D. D., Of
Rochester, N. Y, who is to occupy local
pulpit tomorrow morning and evening. was
one of the principal speakers at the Denver
Christian Endeavor convention. His adj
dress on THE Fellowship Of the Denomina-
lions and How 1t VIII Hasten the Coming
of the Kingdom was regarded as an elo-
quent Endorsement of the interdenomina-
tional principles of Christian Endeavor and
the good which had been accomplished and
Is to be accomplished by the extension of
the organization in the different denomina-
lions.
DR.. Barbour emphatically declared his
faith in the principles of the Baptist de-
nomination, but he said the principles and
practical workings Of Christian Endeavor
did not detract in the least from any one s.
loyalty to his own church. His address was
in striking contrast to some of the recently
published utterances of leading ministers
of another denomination in advocacy of
strictly UNCONVENTIONAL young peoples
societies and in opposition to the interde-
nominal Christian Endeavor organization

poitan A. NJ. f. Church Is arranging for a

half of the society.
