CHURCH GOING
Everybody will Be Warmly
Welcomed in cdifICeS on
Next Sunday

With the observance OF "Everybody-go
to-Church-Dny" in various parts Of
the country yesterday aud a similar
observance set for this city next Sun
day. those IN charge Of the local cam
Daign are hoping that the local at
tendance will be proportIonately great
With that reported from elsewhere.
The attendance in the Philadelphia
churches yesterday was all that could
be desired, while reports from Chi
cago were that over one million peo-
pie attended services IN the churches
there.
Harvey Weeks. young business
man, Of Joliet, H.. conceived the plan
Of getting everybody In his city to go
to church on certain Sunday The
Idea was taken up by the churches of
Joliet and unanimously approved.
The plan was set in operation In Octo-
Der last and resulted IN a wonderful
success. Almost the entire population
Of Joliet turned out, even TO the
babies All the churches were we'll
filed and the special service was
most interesting Since that day the
movement has spread from ocean to
ocean
Christian Endeayorers all over the
world observed yesterday as EndeayOr
Day, and the rest of the week is
known as EndeayOr Week. Dr. Fran
els Clark, who is known the world
over as a father and founder of the
Christian Endeayor Society, has sug-
gested the celebration. which is in
tended to commemorate the Twenty
third anniversary of the organization
of the Society in the Willston Con-
gregational Church, Portland, Me.
just % years ago yesterday II was
at the suggestion of DIT. Clark that
the Go-to-Church Sunday movement
was inaugurated and which resulted
SO successfully yesterday.
Or Clark is at present making a
tour of the Continent IN the interest
Of the Endeavor work. and has issued
the call for every society in the world
to have some special demonstration
during the coming week. Some Of
ideas OF the immensity of this organi-
zation may be gained from the fact
that its combined strength in all
countries numbers approximately
100000 societies. with total member
ship of no less than 100000.

arc that the officers and Of the Nantucket were
grossly arcless and negligent. that the Nantucket
was boin, operated a dangerous rate OF speed and
that the fog signals Of the Monroe were absolutely

II is interesting TO note the answer the commander
Of the Nantucket makes to those charges. He denies
all Of them and insists that the captain of the Mon-
roe who rushing his craft through the os at high

also unquostionaby will be made by those who sur
