SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—This Has been one of the most eventful days of the Christian Endeavor convention, for its varied incidents have demonstrated to the delegates from far and near that the people of San Francisco are sincere in their welcome and that this Is not a> godless city. This fact wan strikingly emphasized at the great open air meet ings held on Van Ness avenue at noon. For many blocks tihe wide boulevard 1 was : thronged and the impassioned address es of men earnest in their faith were re ceived with marked attention and ap proval. It was a. matter of civic pride, not of creed, for nowhere was the ap plause more generous than at the great gathering under the shadow of ths splendid Roman Cathollic churdh of St. Ignatius. These assemblies, under a cloudless sky on one of the finest days of a Cali fornia year, were even more enthusias tic than was expected, even by General Secretary Baer, through whose sugges tion they were held. The topic of the c arty morning jjrayer meetings was "Committee Work Ser vice." All the churohes were filled. Ths services were led by the following men, all prominent In the Christian Endeavor movement: F. T. Vincent, Seneca, Kaa.;, W. H. Rice, New, Dorp, L.. r.;,H.JS, Can tel, New York; Walter M. Jordan, Deer Lodge, Mont.; F. D. Stackhouse, Denver, Col.; D. S. Kelley, Emporia, Kaß.; Geo. K. Burns, Philadelphia; William Staves, India; J. V. Mulligan, Boise City, Idaho. The subject of the daily hour for Bible study was "Philllppians—A Message, of Joy in the Midst of. Adversity.'' It wai conducted in a fervent manner by Rev. Dr. Herbert L. Wlllett of Chicago. ALL IN EARNEST. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—All tha Christian Endeavorers now assembled within our gates are here for a purpose, and that purpose ie not one of recreation and pleasure. That all the assembled Endeavorers take a deep andi pensive Interest in the proceedings of the con vention Is manifested by the attendance at the daily sessions in the big con vention halls. With them all Is en thusiasm. Never has San Francisco been called upon to entertain such a throngof people as has gathered together for the 1897 convention. There have been reviv al meetings and religious gatherings and all sorts of conventions, and there have been some pretty big political gather ings in San Francisco, but the Chris tian Endeavor convention is a revela tion. Profiting by their experience at the previous sessions of the big convention, whan they came too late to get'within hailing distance of the Mechanics and Woodward's pavilions, many Endeavor ers were up with the coming of day break, determined to be among the foT tunate ones In securing seats. All tha roads seemed to lead to the headquar ters at Mechanics' Pavilion. By 8 o'clock they came pouring in from the east, west, north and south, on foot and In street cars, until the broad entrances to the big frame structures were congested with humanity. The weather was quite cool —Just cool enough to bring back tha color which had 1 temporarily been driven from the cheeks of thousands of pretty young women by the hardships of a transcontinental journey. Nine o'clock saw all the 9000 seats filledi, while sev eral thousand persons formed a fringe of humanity about the outer edges and packed the aisles, until the police and fire departments cried "Enough" and barred the doors to further arrivals. The song service was first on the pro gram. The vast throng joined' in the stirring Endeavor hymns with delight ful effect and with a volume of sound that carried 1 their voices to the crowds in the streets, many of whom joined in the songs of praise. In spite of the fact that the committee hadi arranged the most aUractlve programs for the meetings at Woodward's Pavilion in order to draw as many people as possible to that hall, the crowd seems to gravi tate towards the headquarters at Me chanics' Pavilion, with the result that thousands are turned away at every session. The latter hall has been made so attractive with decorations and booths, conducted by hundreds of hand some young women, something after the fashion of a charity bazaar, tnat all want to enjoy the privilege of seeing and hearing all that Is to be seen and heard. Notwithstanding the size of the vast assemblage, the arrangements at the pavilion are all that the most exacting could' wish, and all that has been done for the comfort of the visiting legions reflects credit upon those who have given their time and attention to the great work. The committees that have had a hand! in the arrangements of the great Inter- national gatherings are now receiving the praise and commendation of 20,000 delighted visitors from every State in the Union and' from nearly every alien land where the influence of Christian Endeavor is felt.
