The fact that the people are now In teresting themselves in the discussion of this problem makes manifest the fact that there Is a tendency toward a change. I expect that it will come soon.

TH (MK When Their Big Tent Blew Down Endeavorers Joined in Praise. Not for the Collapse of Their Tent, But Because There Was No Loss of Life. Unusual Accident Befalls Big Convention Being Held at Denver. Denver. Col., July 14. —The big tent “Edeavor." In which the Christian En deavor convention has been held for the last four days was blown over • while more than 8.000 persons were under the canvas, and nearly a score of men and women were slightly injured. Mrs. Jessie M. Thornburgh of Denver was the most severely hurt. Her nose was gashed and her scalp received several cuts. A. M. Ramsay of Chicago quickly sprang on a chair and called to the people to hold up the canvas and poles This allowed air to circulate and prevented suffocation As it was. many { women fainted and were extricated from the folds of the canvas with much difficulty. | Mrs. Winifred Sleep of Denver, who I was in charge of St. Mark s hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe at the big tent, telephoned to the electric light company to shut off the current This prevented any damage from the live wires that had fallen with the tent poles As soon as most of the imprisoned delegates had been extricated from the folds of the tent, they congregated in the open air and held an impromptu I praise service. The session was in full prog-ess in 1 the tent when signs of rain and some wind crept under the roof of the tent, whose sides were rolled up to admit air. Suddenly a squall lifted up ’he i big canvas as if it were a balloon and < I the immense stretch of cloth bellied like a sail in a gale. The guy ropes and the main poles were pulled from their places and the gust of wind momentarily ceasing, the tent roof collapsed. Even as the tent was in ascent, many worshipers became panicI stricken. The screams set up by hun dreds of women were hushed by the fall of the canvas But before the collaps* ended Mr. Ramsay had had time to spring on a chair and to cal! loudly on the men to hold up the canvas and to catch the poles as they fell. Hundreds of men sprang to their feet almost before Mr. Ramsay called, and those who were not tripped by the entangling canvas caught the poles and balked the chute. More than a thousand persons who had sat near the ; walls of the tent escaped the toils of I the canvas and immediately formed themselves Into a rescue corps Those who had fainted and those who suffer ed from injuries, were quickly removed to th* hospital tent.
