and corruption in politics and social
life in this city and in the State"
Passing of Liquor Traffic.
The Rev. Cloyd Goodnight, State
vice president, of Uniontown, in re-
sponse to the welcome said:
&c. E, of course, has always been
characterized as a movement. 1t has
never degenerated. Movements are
quickly borne; they rapidly make pro-
gress and when they have finished the
course for which they came. they au-
tomatically leave the stage. We are
here for the purpose OF social ad
vancement. We announce "a Saloon
less Nation by 1920" Some laughed,
others scorned; a few contemplate
church elders and deacons dared to
smile and since that time they have
been letting go their brewery and dis
tillery stock and on Sunday morning
are able to listen to a sermon on ma
tional prohibition. Our own State,
wettest of the wet, is already seeing
the battle. We, my friends, are push
ing the energy tonight right up
against the gates. and we have come
recess, without moments hesitancy,
this mighty curse, which has pro-
duced poverty, crime, crooked poll
tics, must forever be driven from our
domain"
william H. Boil. the Governors
secretary said:
"If you are sorry am good deal
more sorry than he that you have to
put up with me instead of the Gov
ernor of this great Commonwealth.
IT know him we'll enough to know
that he would give you message not
to be forgotten and make you well
come and truly glad, even in this hot
spell that we are now having in Har-
risburg, but I am glad from my stand
point because it is kind of a home
coming to me and / want to testify
just one thing, and that isl was
never happier than when 1 was head
over heels in Christian Endeavor
work.
"I thought I was going to have a
vacation when my boss left Harris
burg and I was home when a wire
came from Winthrop, Me-, telling me
that he wouldn't be here and wanting
me to represent him and then sent
this message:
"Convey to our State Endeavor-
ers my hcartiest good wishes and
welcome them to all we have.
My greatest desire is that they
will really demand in that way
which means they really want of
us more than VIC have yet Civ
en-"
THE Governor gave me a thought
in the fact that your demand should
be the right kind of a demand.
only said a week ago in Harrisburg
at a luncheon, that the newspapers of
Harrisburg will give this organization
just what they really demand of it
and I meant it. l meant to say that
our Chief Executive, or any man and
every man that is in power, will give
you just what you really want and
these are the things that we want of
God. You know how seldom we pray
for that thing that we know that we
must have from men who can give
us what we ought to have"
DIR. Yates preached the convention
sermon on Prayer and Power" He
said:
Prayer and power are Christian
Twins. They have walked hand in
hand for six thousand years, and they
are yet in their youth. They have al
ways been inseparable, but the order
of their appearance is fixed Prayer
always proceeds power. Power is the
great need of to-day. In the world of
Industry men have realized the need
of power and that realization has
driven them to prayer"
