Tribute to Christian Endsavss.

Tribute 70 Christian eadoavoe.
I wish to make ms brief message
one Of testimony. Seven Of our Con-
Gregntional leaders have recently
voiced their sentiments in the follow
ing hearty words: The history Of
twenty seven years shows that, given
a fair trial. with sympathetic leader
ship. Christian Endeayor comes nearer
meeting the needs Of the young people
Of our churches than any other move
ment ever has and nearer than any
other present organization II likely
to do"
After twelve years pastoral expert
ence with the Christian Endeavor 30
ciety can give this statement my
most hearty Endorsement.
During the past year It has been my
privilege rs general secretary to be en-
gagged in the work Of the CongreEa-

retained it's undisputed leadership

Reports from the seven eounties
that remained wet during the Ioct

lowed their stocks to run down, and
had but a small supply of liquor on
hand at the closing hour. Others
have arranged to open business in

Although it is conceded that At
torney General Stirling was legally
correct in his Interpretation of the
statutory prohibition law, to mean
that the saloons must close at mid
night on Wednesday, it is at the same
time the general belief that it was
the intention of the legislature to
allow them to remain open on De-
cember 81, closing their doors at
the exact moment the new year be-
gins. However. the statute abolishes
saloons ION and after December 81, =

to mean that they could not remain

In order that all the people may

even the most renowned artists play

Mrs. Zeisler is now in the zenith
of her fame. and within the past year
has charmed and enthralled music
lovers in many of the great Eastern
cities with her exquisite playing. She
appeared in Philadelphia last winter.
and the following notice of her per-
formance is taken from the Philadel-
phia Record of January 50, 1908:
Mrs. Zeisler astonished even her
most enthusiastic admirers by the
dramatic intensity and fire of her
playing. Her program comprised Sc
lections from Beethoven, Schumann,
Chopin, Paderewski, Strauss, Mac
Dowell and Wagner. Her playing of
the Schumann Toccata was verIta-

audience literally off its feet by the
