happiness in having the opportunity of
worshiping the Christ with them on
the holy Sabbath, and after bearing
Christian greetings from all parts or
the world, he told the people that he,
and score of his friends present, were
on their way around the world, that
they had left New York a week pre-
vious and that they hoped to visit the
Christian people in many lands during
the next three months.
Primarily he said, they were bound
for India, where in the wonderful and
historic city of Agra on November 20
there would be a conference or conven-
ton of the Christian Endeavor socie-
ties from all parts of the world. From
India alone thousands of people We're
expected to be in attendance, many or
them being expected to walk hundreds
of miles from various sections of the
empire.
Next DR.. Clark told the Portuguese
of a meeting of Christian Endeavor
societies which he attended recently in
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, where he spoke to
Portuguese, and where he had heard
prayers in the same musical language
in which the scriptures had just been
read, where the same songs had been
sung, where they prayed to the same
Father in heaven, and sought the pres
ence of Jesus Christ the Lord.
"And so,' he said, II find it in every
land. We have so many things in
common, the same Bible, the same
songs, the same One to whom we
pray"
Everywhere our Lord Jesus Christ
(pointing to the motto on the walD
is the light of the world. We are all
the children of one Father, we have
one elder brother, the same Jesus
Christ, and one comforter, the Holy
Spirit"
In Other Countries
In Egypt, in two weeks, we shall
see another band Of Christian En-
deavorers gather in the Presbyterian
mission. In India they will gather
from all parts of the world and for
four days they will be telling of our
Lord and how His kingdom may be
advanced in all parts of the world.
Then we shall worship in Burma, then
in the Philippine islands we shall see
more friends; then in China and Japan
and Hawaii and back to our own
country, America.
IN all these distant countries. We
shall tell the people of this beautiful
island of Madeira, and shall commend
your faith and zeal.
We ask your remembrance of us in
your prayers so Unat the hlnBuOm OF
God may be extended throughout the
world.
After the conclusion of DR.. Clark's
address the local missionary spoke, and
also two other Missionaries, one work
ing elsewhere in Madeira and another
bound for Portuguese Africa. / was
strongly impressed by the culture and
the superior ability of all three of
these men. All three of them seemed
delighted at the presence of the Amer
leans. They spoke with emotion and
could scarcely restrain the tears of joy
as they welcomed the Americans and
as they told of their work.
Several songs were sung in Portu-
guese, and then the Americans wanted
to sing, too. Some one suggested "All
Hail the Power Of Jesus Name" and
another, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
Then followed the benediction by
Dr.. Clark, and the company separated,
everyone being impressed by the ear
nestness and fervor that characterized
the worship in this far away island.
