Last Sunday afternoon a rousing
meeting of the Allen Christian En-
deavor Leagues was held at Payne
Chapel A. M. e. Church in East Nash
vile. This was the regular monthly
meeting, and it having been an
nounced that the Rt. Rev. Evans Ty-
rec, ID. D., would deliver an address,
and also DIR. w. D. Chappelle, Sec
rotary Of the A. M. e. Church Sunday
School Union, caused a large and en-
thusiastic audience to be out. The
pastor, DR.. Flagg, was detained by cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll and Bishop Tyree opened the
meeting. The choir and congregation
sang a beautiful anthem and DR..
Boone, pastor Of st. Paul A. M. E.
Church, offered prayer. The meeting
had not progressed far before DR.,
Flagg, the president, arrived and took
charge Of the meeting. He urged the
members of the various leagues to be-
stir themselves and put forth their
best efforts to foster the cause of
Christianity.
DR.. Chappelle was the first speaker.
He made an interesting address, ad-
monishing his hearers to put away all
strife and make a united effort to gath
er into the EndeavOrs the young peo-
pie who are, apparently, showing no
desire 10 become interested In Chris
tian work. He said he was deeply
concerned about the national meeting
to be held in July and was anxious
that Nashville do herself proud in the
way of entertaining the thousands
who will be her guests on that COCA
sion.
Bishop Tyree followed DR.. Chap
pelle, and in his inimitable style en-
tertained the meeting for over thirty
minutes. He made a strong plea for
the saving of the young people. He
said nothing was grander than a civil
meeting where the young minds could
be fed on wholesome thoughts. The
Bishop dwelt at length upon punctual-
ity. He said there was not a pie, nor
a chicken, nor a cake, nor a turkey In
the world good enough to make him
break an engagement, and admon-
ished the people to be prompt in every
thing, and to let six o'clock mean six,
and not to wait until the time to go
to start to getting ready. He said
that he had reached the age to be able
to make self a second consideration,
and would the remainder of his days
labor for the salvation Of others.
Speaking of the time when age would
make his steps faint, he said: when
| get away out in the deep water up
to my throat, up to my ears-so deep
that l have only n echo left, call me
and l will answe: your call. You have
honored me, and l feel it my duty to
serve you continually"
At the conclusion of the Bishops
remarks, DIR. Flagg called for the
Chautauqua salute, and in a minute
the house was converted into a mass
of white handkerchiefs waving to and
fro amid the echoes of I'VE are March.
