Christian Endeavor convention to-
night will report In favor of the re-
election of all the present officers
with the exception of the treasurer,

sen in his place. That President
John Sproull will be reelected andn
expects to take the presidency for
the tenth year was shown yesterday
afternoon when, in addressing the

Camden Likely Next Year.
Three invitations have been re-
ceived for next years convention,
Camden, Hudson and Bergen being
after it. 1t is thought Camden
county will get it. The matter is in
the hands of a committee consisting
of Rev. C. w. Gulick, of Dumont, F.
w. Pressy, of Camden county, and
A. H. Moore.
In his address last night based
upon the text "As a man is so shall
his strength be-" Rev. j. F. Carson,
Of Jersey City. declared that as a
man is in his personality, his pur-
pose, his preparation for the work,
his passion or enthusiasm, his per-
suasion and power SO was his
strength.
In connection with the matter of
preparation he declared hat the
crurch today was being covered with
organization, guide, clubs and othe,
societies and the only time the
church vas heard of was when it was
criticised by some society for not do
Ing something.
He had recently been elected a
v1cepresfdent OF an organization
named the S. s. S. s.. On asking
what 1t stood for he was told the
Society for the Suppression OF Super
f1uous Societies and he was glad he
had the honor of being one of it's
officers and sorry there were not
more such societies.
Bible Is Neglected.
He also declared it was up to the
Christian Endeavor to get the Bible
back into the society, into the
church, Sunday school and home
where it was neglected. In this CON
nection he said the public school did
not exist for teaching religion and
was not equipped for that purpose,
but it was going too far to exclude
the reading of the Bible in the pub
lie schools. 1t vas nothing less than
a crime to childhood to erclude the
Bible from the school. Much of the
agitation against it came from those
building parochial schools. Chris
tfan citizens and the native born
have now given up everything to
please others. He would not restrict
the foreigner from landing, but he
would hold up to him the standards
OF the Bible and the flag aps !.
was not willing to. 2Gss.ent thasn y
would hifaT1 back on tn Same
came. LII .tfe Bible had it's
PIECE in the legislative halls the I'M
holy divorce laws would be abolished
and the Sabbath be protected; If it
was in the national legislative halls
Mormonism would be driven out and
the saloon evil removed.
