BACK FROM GENEVA
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS RE-
TURNING FROM CONVENTION.

Written for The Star by ]. NJ. Pickens.
Most OF the United States delegates to the
Worlds Christian Endeavor Convention at
Geneva, Switzerland, have returned, and re-
port delightful trip and splendid con-
vention. The scenery of the Swiss lakes
and the Alps, beside the pleasures Of the
convention itself, made the experience a
delightful one Geneva, with about one
eighth the Christian Endeavor strength of
Washington. successfully entertained the
great gathering.
convention. Perhaps the most striking
feature was the multiplicity of languages.
Delegates were present from nearly all
parts of the world Addresses of welcome
were delivered In English, French and Ger
man, and brief responses were made III
these and many other languages Among
the languages heard in the various meet
ings were, besides those named, Spanish,
Italian, japanese, Swedish, Russian, Nor
wegian, Danish, Hungarian, Bohemian,
Bulgarian, Finnish. Welsh. Hindu, Arabic,
Turkish, Armenian, modern Greek, the Ian
guage of the Australian bushmen and Es-
peranto. The program was printed In
twelve languages. A beautiful musical serv
ice in French, somewhat after the order Of
the festival of praise at the Baltimore con-
vention, was rendered by large choir.
Probably never before was the cosmopolitan
and world wide character of Christian En-
deavor so well illustrated, though the at
tendance at the International conventions
in this country has been much larger.
The progress Of Christian Endeavor in Eu-
rope was shown by the report Of Secretary
Stanley p. Edwards. This year 1,127 soci-
cites, with $1,000 members, were reported,
a gain Of 80 per cent in societies and 48
per cent in membership in one year. Ger
many has added sixty societies, Russia has
grown from fourteen to f1fty-one, Norway
from ten to twenty-one, and Finland from
twenty to twenty-eight. The organization
Of a European union was effected
The Americans did their part toward en-
livening the convention by starting I'M
promptu singing as the crowds gathered
and in other characteristic ways. OF great
interest to the Americans were the historic
places connected with the Protestant refor-
nation under Luther and Calvin. DR.. Clark
spoke in the same auditorium where Calvin
preached.
Much enthusiasm was shown for the
Christian Endeavor quarter-century memo
rial, and over 1900 was raised for the
fund, which is to be used in rld-wide
Christian work among young people.
