their own thinking and know how to
give expression to their opinions.
One of the pleasantest features OF
the Convention was the junior rally
in the afternoon. The little ones had
been we'll trained in the work OF the
society, and they carried out their
program without hitch. Their
superintendents have reason to con-
gratulate themselves on the success
Of their efforts.
The M. E. church suspended the
evening services in order to join
with the Endeavors in the regular
young peoples and the Convention
service, a courtesy that was highly
appreciated.
The feature Of the evening was the
Convention address given by Rev.
A. A. Winter, Of Portland. To the
pleasing personality of the speaker
was added a thoroughly evangelistic
and spiritual presentation OF his
theme that made a deep impression
on his hearers.
When the Convention closed that
night there was feeling that Chris
tian Endeavor was but just entering
upon It's great work, and that, wisely
guided, It would become one OF the
mightiest Of evangelizing agencies
that the church has ever known.
We congratulate the Grants Pass
Endeavors on the success Of the Con-
vention, and the committees to whose
efforts that success was due.
