, ton and the city IN general: rev. H.
Ames Montgomery on behalf of the
Ottumwa Ministerial association and
! the churches of the city, and c. A.
Bertels as president of the Ottumwa
+; Christian Endeavor union. These
, addresses Of welcome were answered
| to with a warm enthusiastic response
given by Rev. G. II. Stauffacher OF
Cedar Rapids, who Is vice president
of the state union. These talks were
followed then by the address of the
! evening by DR.. Shaw.
He spent the first few minutes Of his
address in giving to the assembled
delegates the message from President
! Clark of the national union, who IS
now working in the interests or the
| society in Europe, and in telling of his
attendance at the international confer
ence held in London in 1900. He urged
upon the Iowa delegation the great
need of large crowd of Hawkeyes
at the Worlds Christian Endeavor
convention which will be held in Chi
cago in July, 1915. The speaker plead
ed with the young people to give more
concerted effort toward making their
lives one of great efficiency In the
work that the master had set out for
them to do He discussed the ques-
ton from the standpoint Of progress
that has been made during the past
century in the world along all lines
and only attempted to hint at what
might be possible within the next few
years. He declared that all OF these
things were possible because some
body had delved into Gods secrets and
somebody had made machinery 90
what man used to do and stated that
it was impossible to say what the re-
suit might be. He said. "Never since
this old world went rolling out from
Gods hand has there been such op-
portunities for efficiency in all work
and all things; there may not be any
more spiritual power in the next one
hundred years than now but know
that we will know how to use 1t better
than now and the spirit of God will
start the dyamo Of power for our use.
At the conclusion of the address the
guests adjourned to the basement OF
the church where they were entertain
ed by the Ottumwa Endeavorers. The
affair was in the nature Of reception
or get together meeting and proved
most enjoyable. Light refreshments
were served and music was furnished
by the victrola.
