noteworthy message was that of
President Francis Z. Clark to the fifth
worlds and twenty-seventh International
sessions opened at Chicago on Thursday
of last week. The appeal of DR.. Clark
gained in inpressiveness by reason of
the fact that he at the present time is
seriously ill with typhoid fever at the
seaside home of Christian Endeavor,
Sycamore Beach, Mass, and the mes
sage had to be read by another.
He declared the three important
thoughts for Endeavorers should be to
lined campaign for millions" which
he urged as the goal for the young peo-
pie during the two years before the con-
vention of 1917. DR.. Clarks plan involved
the following elements:
A million new converts, a million new
Endeavorers. a million new church men,
bers, a million new dollars for missions,
a million new members of the Peace
Union, ten thousand new societies of
Christian Endeavor. twenty thousand
new comrades of the Quiet Hour, ten
thousand new LeGionaries, ten thousand
new Christian Endeavor experts. five
thousand new Life Work recruits
This" he said. is not too large a
task for the eager. earnest Endeavorers
of the world. We once before added a
million new members and ten thousand
new societies in two years time With
all the world enlisted in this worlds con-
vention, we can undertake this larger
program in the two years to come. and
with Gods help accomplish it,

convention from the pulpits of Chicago
on a recent Sunday, the Christian Cen
fury of that city says:

genial place from which to speak their
message 1t indicates the respect in
which the church is held by men who.
more than any other class of their fell
lows. are in a position to mold public
opinion on the side of business stand
ards and ideals. 1t is a direct and I'M
escapable reply TO those who dismarly
mourn the decay OF the church's infiu-
ence.
1T also suggests the quite unsupported
relation between advertising and relig-
ion. One speaker on that Sunday point
ed out that the first newspaper adver-
tisement that ever appeared, the aborig-
inal ancestor Of all the countless adver-
tisements now appearing. was a religious
