'ohr,stIsn Endesvolsrs Receive 4 Visit
s=>2 Erem william Shaw OF Doston,
= the National Treasurer.

!. One OF the prominent = Christian
workers of the country was Willmar
visitor last Wednesday, when Mr..
William Shaw OF Boston, treasurer
Of the United Christian EndeavOp and
Worries Union, arrived here In the
afternoon and addressed fair-sized
audience at the Presbyterian church
In the evening. Mr.. Shaw arrived
from Minneapolis, where he had been
the guest Of Christian. Endeavorera
and to which city he returned on FRI
day from Redwood Falls, where he
made brief stay after his visit in
Willmar.
: MIR. Shaw's address in this city was
greatly enjoyed by the Christian En-
deavorers and their. friends, most of
whom had the pleasure OF hearing this
noted man for the first time. he is q
very imp essive speaker aud has q
fine command OF language. Bis talk
was mainly IN the history and signi-
dcance OF Christian Endeavor work.
A very interesting feature of his ad-
dress was that which referred to the
great work accomplished in floating
societies in the navy and also the
work carried on in prisons. The
largest society IN the WOrlQ IS one
which has its location in prison
The Christian Endeavor movement is
now extended to every civilized coun-
try in the world. From one society
organized in Portland, Me-, "a years
ago, the organization has grown to
81, 900 societies and over 1900, 600
members. This is the most marvellous
increase Of any religious organization
in the worlds history.
The speaker was introduced by
Wallace Martin, president of the local
society. song service was held
during part OF the evening, conducted
by Mr.. J. r. Otos.

the result.

IS OPPOSED TO
Chinese COOLIES
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 13.-Im-
migration to the United States and
it's relation to the labor problem
formed the subject of a conference
yesterday afternoon between the
president and two of the prominent
labor leaders. Samuel Gompers of
Washington and James Duncan of
Quincy, Mass. respectively the pres
ident and one of the vice presidents
of the American Federation of La
Dor.
The conference was devoted par
ticularly to the consideration of the
order issued recently by the presi-
dent regarding the enforcement of
the Chinese exclusion law. An i'm
preston has been gained by many
members of labor organizations that
the order, to an extent, at least, let
down immigration bars so far as the
Chinese are concerned.
The president assured his callers,
however, that no such construction
properly could be placed on the or
der, and that he was just as yigor-
ously opposed to the admission to
this country of Chinese coolies as
they could be.
