A busy and helpful week of work and
suggestions has just passed for the Dis
trict of Columbia Christian Endeavor
Union. Beginning with Monday night
when reception was given Rev. Francis
p. Clark and Mr.. William Shaw, presi-
dent and secretary of the United Society
Of Christian Endeavor. and extending
through all the various meetings of the
convention, a good attendance was a
feature. Many good themes were intro
duced and the representatives Of the So
cieties could not help but take back to
their individual churches many helps and
suggestions which would be useful in the
work
On Tuesday afternoon at o'clock at
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. there was rally Of the. junior So
cieties of the District Of Columbia at
which Rev. Francis E. Clark addressed
the assembly.
An interesting stereopticon lecture Ca,
China - Chinese Shopkeepers,' Their
Guilds and Supersttions.' was given
under the auspices Of the Mission Study
Class of the First Congregational Church
last evening. This proved a success in
every particular. and especially developed
classes. Mr.. Albert j. Osgood, who de-
livered the lecture. has had exceptional
opportunities for studying the economic
conditions of China. Being born in Foo
chow. he early became interested in the
teeming industry IN that great city. After
graduation at Yale University he became
the Shanghai representative of an Ameri-
can export firm. Nearly all the pictures
shown were obtained by him In China.
The closing meeting of the c. e. con-
vention held Wednesday evening at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
was one that will be well remembered by
those present. A missionary address on
1.-THE Call to the Worlds Needs was de-
iivered by Rev. Charles r. Watson of
the United Presbyterian Church board
of foreign missions. An address on "Citi-
zenship" was delivered by Rev. Edwin
Heyl Delk. D. D., pastor of st. Matthew'S
