It Wti a Mais of Hundiome Decorations Hunting ami 3Iotoe. Torolinson Hall was prettily decorated for the reception of tbe delegates. On tbe stage tiers of seats rose one after tbe other which, when rilled with the chorus of the convention, reminded tho residents of the city of the huge choruses of the May Musio festivals. The platform had been extended in front, and three tables were placed at convenient intervals for tbe accommodation of the speakers and the officers. These were half hid in places by huge potted palms, and a pipo organ to the right of the stage was esconsced behind a group of them. Suspended from tbe galleries, and extending clear aronnd the room, were tanners of tbe delegations from tbe various States, each of the color of tho division to which it belonged; northwest of the Mississippi river blue, northeast of the river aold. the Southern btates green, and Canada red. At as many corners as could bo found were hung mottoes, aud banners inscribed with statistics and facts regarding the union and the chnren which it represents. A sample of one of them is as follows: "Our Denominational iTojtress 1793-1893." Under the date I71KJ are printed the following statistics, labeled "Then:" Churches 695 Jlaptlsin 1.20O Ministers l,bOO Members GS.ooo Contributions 400.000 Value of property Sl.OOO.000 Under tho date 1SIW, entitled "Now," the following statistics are lurniaLed: ChurcUes 37,853 Baptisms 174.103 Ministers 25.504 Mcnj!Mr 3,50.IU0 Contributions $14,000,000 Value of property $110,000,000 l tiy kingdom come.

Smock. Tbe singers are Tanged in tbe tiers of seats on the plat form, and tbe orchestra is stationed at its base. A very tasteful souvenir programme has been issued by the committee in charge, and in it. beside the proceedings of each day, are printed a cboice selection of songs and hymns selected from the popular books of the day. Every visitor at tbe hall is supplied with one of these, and the committee, of which the Hot. W. t Taylor is chairman, was publicly congratulated for the wora: which it had done. The convention was formally opened at 8:E0 yesterday afternoon by President Chapman, and there followed Scriptural reading, led by the Kov. Johnson, of Connecticut. l'KESlDENT'S ADDRESS. President Chapman then delivered his annual address, which was as follows: It is a momentous duty that falls to my lot at this time formally to declare open this third f reat annual convention of the Baptist Youug eople's Union of America. The priTllego thus granted to me is a greater one than falls to many men by the aocident of position l'rcsident Cleveland pressed the electric button that tet iu motion the machinery of the greatest eivoeitlon ttiU world has ever seen. Hut 1'reeldent Cleveland may well envy me the great honor that la mine to-day. As a citizen of the United fctates and a resident of Chicago, I hope I am not lucking in national and local pride in the great fair and in appreciation of its educational possibilities, but It Is no exalteration to 6 ay that It is a matter of greater moment to our national life that we have so l;irjrt a company of young hearts who have purposed to walk in the way of the Lord, and who are ready to avail themselves of this convention and opportunity for Christian culture. It la my privilege as president of this great International union to greet you at the close of this second year of our existence with words of hope and cheer. The very rapidity and magnituue of our first year's growth made the adjustment of working plans a matter of constant uncertainty. Tbe difficult problems inseparable from any new method of work were increased by the large constituency whose needs it was our duty and aim to meet. If I were to tell you that tho past year has been one of undlmmed sunshine lor this organization I would not be stating the truth. But I can tell a more encouraging thing. There have been times when the winds whistled through the rigging of our ship: when the teinpostuoua waves beat against her sides, but she has weathered the storm, and wo are here to testify that she is a seaworthy vessel. There has been no time when we have had cause to doubt God's hand in tbe work we have been called to do. But there hare been times when the mist has surrounded the pathway so close to our feet that we could see only one step at a time, and again it has Dcen ills pleasure, whose servants we are, to send the sunshine breaking through these clouds, and, pitying the Ue.k of faith that makes us slew to follow in the Cark, showing us a little of the pathway ahead. We are hero to congratulate you upon the increased spiritual growth that cannot but be observed by all who have watched with interest the course of our young people; to congratulate you upon the rising intelligence that Is plainly manifest as to denominational position, and also upon the unquestionably increased Bible study, as is evidenced by the wide-awake Interest taken In the examinations that havo been conducted and that we shall hear from later. It Is thus, with feelings of exultation in your past faithfulness, and yet with an anxious prayer for your wiee guidance, that we now invite you to take part lu the deliberations of this couveution. Jlay we be blessed throughout with the presence of that Power that alonj can make this great company ono In faith, in hopo and in spirit. MK. STEVENSON'S WELCOME. At its conclusion, and after the hearty applause had subsided, he introduced E. E. Stevenson, of this city, who made the welcome address. Mr. Steyenson spoke as follows: Upon whatever other questions Indianapolis may be closely divided, it is not divided in its desire to be hospitable nor in its appreciation of the spirit of progress. We waut our greeting to be expressed more in actions than in words. The nest we have is at your disposal. We claim to be a city of homes, and we trust you will rind this to be true. Nature has bountifully come to our assistance In extending you a warm welcome. Before you get away you may want ' some one to turn tho cold shoulder to you. To-day our city feels Itself exalted. Tho attention of all Baptists and of many others interested in Chrlstiau progress is directed to our work here. Wo are assembled as a convention of young people and of older peoplo with young hearts. Old Time is a cheat; we are all twenty to-day. The very fact that you are hero shows that you still have some of tho energy and the hopes of , youth. God grant that the hearts of all of us may ever be young, that wo may always keep the enthusiasm and the Christian zeal that wo have to-day. This is not a children's crusade, organized with fanatical purpose, but the gathering of the younger members of a great religious family to discus rationally the present day problems of the Cbristiau world. It is a sublime sight to witness six thousand young peoplo gathered to consider thcue questions. It is nu event that is comparatively new to the world, tuch occasions are at once the creator and the creature of a new spirit and new method in religious affairs. I lok seenty-tive years into the past and see a body of men assembled for religious purposes, and hear them say to Carey: "en down, young man!" I look back twentj -five years and oe no place in the church for young people to work, except in the Sunday school, ho wonder the church was frequently the most unpleasant of places and tho youth of our country were becoming indifferent to it lnl'.uenceft. A few years aco an alimmt simultaneous eflort was made by all religious denomination to bring young puple into active connection witb church w ork, to organize them, for organization was lightly regarded u tho key to all successful work. The great Intent energy of the young members was unchained and in ado an active force. It is not primarily as Baptists that we come here. This meeting means more than that. The fundamental purpose ol our organization we believe to bo worthy of tho highest commendation. Denominational work is only an iucMeut in the grrat religious work of the world a convenient method or applying Christian principles. Beneath all our dliiereni'cs and creeds we are brother. But we believe that denominational pride will mako us all better Christian. From the days or Kocr W illiams v Baptist huve freely yielded to all person the fullest religious liberty, the greatest freedom of conscience. We f :lve to all what we ask for ournclves freo reigious worship Our work la not eectioual. We are hero from all parts of our 2Seuitlle. and we grn'l mo t heartily our iieigboois from thoNortti. ' In purfticsc, lu rpint, lu needs, lu bores, lu Christ, iu

all that makes the best of life, we are one. From the thousands of young people who are here in the cause of religion, and the thousands of others they represent, in the presence of this beautiful and inspiring sight, I am sure we shall all conclude that Christianity is not losing its force among the young people of America. Larger every year are growing the annual meetings of the young peoplo of all religious denominations. Inspiration is the gTeat purpose of this convention. It is not so much what i said here that will interest the Christian world as that which young people will be inspired to do beoaus of their presence nere. Wo see not so much what is said and done in these meetings as tne possibilities arising from them. It U not in this great hall, where- six thousand people are assembled, that great questions will te settled, but in the far-away homes, from silent meditations and intelligent activity, that will follow iu the future months and years. Jilt. TAYLOR'.4 APDKESS. Mr. Stevenson was followed by the Rev. W. F. Taylor, of this city, who delivered tbe address of welcomo from tbe Baptist churches of tbis city. He said: 'Mr. Prosident, Fathers, Mothers and Children: The churches of tbis city bid you a most hearty welcome to tbis city, and tbe Baptist chnrcbes particularly, an tney. perhaps, are more actively engaged in the work than '.re nny of tbe others. You will notice that I havo changed tbe regular form of Baptist salutation somewhat, and added to it, a New Testament revision. The old way used to be: 'Fathers and brethren but now we add to it the dear little children." He said that the growth of tho past century in tbe Baptist Church had been a wonderful one. but that it must not be con-

Iff

B trued as a. success. There-are dangers ahead wbiob must be avoided, and he said that a portion of this danger was being averted by the assemblage then before him. He said that their presence was u pledge of the future of the church, a pledge ot the nature of its teachings and a pledge of tbe loyalty of ita members to it. lie said tbat many people thought that Christians paid too much attention to their creeds, and too little attention to tbe religion itself. Ho said that be hoped that that was not so, and that be was certain that the church of tbe future would be a spiritual one, and that its members would be loyal ones. He said: "We do not want a creedlesa Christianity. Organization is necessary to work and results, and to organize we must have some plan to do soon." At tbe conclusion of the speech of the Rev. Taylor, a number of congratulatory telegrams were road from various parts of the country and from several delegations which were en route to the city. President Cbapinun next introduced Prof. L. D. Jnakeep. of Oakland, Cal. He said that the Professor had traveled a long way to get to the convention, and asked the delegates to give him the old Chantauqna greeting. This was done, and consisted in tho waving ot handkerobeifa from all parts of the house. His remarks were in the nature of a general expression of gratitude for the pleasure of being present. And a thankfulness for tbe largeness of the meeting and its large promise of success. He said it was time for the Baptists to stop looking backward and to begin looking to tbe future which was bound to be a bright one for them. He said that it had been said of the Baptists that tbey had been looking baokward so long and crying over past mistakes that their eyes were in the back of their heads and were fastened to the ground with pillars of salt. . lie thanked the members for their hearty greeting and wished them Godspeed in all of their undertakings. mr. Sanson's addrkss. The Kev. L. 1 Hensen, ot Baltimore, said: As a representative of the great Southern Baptist Zlon 1 thank you for the welcome aocorded us. 1 bave been accustomed to coming to Indiana whenever something was wanted hotter than 1 could get in the South. I succeeded in finding the best girl that ever trod the earth in Indiana, and In her possession am richer than twenty seas, though all their sands were pearls and their waters nectar. Applause.) We are here as Baptist young people from tiie north, east, south and west, and what a blessed sight it is to see all sections bound together by tbe rope of sana that makes us the most compact organization in the world, standing as we do on the New Testament, claiming one Lord, one faith and one baptism. I have no fears that The purposes of the B. U. Y. P. U. A. will disintegrate any organization. I have watched and studied tho movement, and have never seen auy thing to warrant the charges made against it by certain denominational periodicals. So, it means the co-operation of tbe young people with the old, and that the young are wheeling in line to be trained, as a great means of help to the church. It will not turn the contributions of tho young people of the South into the treasuries of the iorth. as has been suggested, ntore than it will turu the collections of Canadlau Baptists into the treasuries of the South. It stands for the federation of Baptists with Baptists, bringing them together from all sections. This Is why wo Southerners are ' hero, loyal to all of our Baptist associations and to our God. Kov. Geo. HI Orr. of Boston, responded happily for the gold, stating that he was not quite certain how far it was prudent for one traveling from the Fast into the West to speak of gold, but from the spirit of Indianapolis newspapers he judged a kindly ear would be given in tbis city. Mr. Orr longed, he said, for a Boston zephyr to come wandering through tbe hall, in which ease the convention would take more kindly to tbe Boston bean tree and codtisb balls. Conventions, he said, were one great means of unifying the laud. The time was not far distant when it would needed than at present, of the future would their existence with be more greatly The institutions have to justify sound reasons: anu in mat respect t Baptist organizations would stand investigation, because it went back of all creeds and all men, and stood on the New Testament. The Baptist Church, said he, stands for more than immersion and believers in baptism it stood for the NowTestatneut as the charter of tbe Christian church. The Kev. Donald Grant, of Montreal, responded for the red. saying the convention assembled was a sight he . long had sought. and that he rejoioed with trembling while speaking. He trusted citizens of the United States would not discount the Canadian delegation as they bad, to his discomfort, Canadian money. It was easy to respond to a welcome, because it was a hearthstone word with melody in it. He had experienced, not an ordinary, but an Indianapolis welcome. The fume of Indiana hospitality had traveled to his city. He rejoiced to lind a closer fellowship being instituted, aud Relieved the Haptist organizations would never do battle with each other. Canada had not, be protested, a monopoly of royalty, for such another royal welcome than they had received had never been given grateful travelers. Let the Canadian red, he ttaid. suggest that Christ bled for all. and wo will go away, devoted lifo and soul to the Lamb that was slain. f Tbe convention then adjourned until 7:C0 o'clock. j x At k THE EVENING SESSION. Managers iteport Sunday Closing Itmoluthin Mr. Cjambndl and Kotiiunism. The evening eession of the convention was called promptly at 7:30 o'clock, and there were present at that time nesrly a thousand delegates. Tho first part of the session consisted of a song service, which was led by i. Conrad Ott, of Camden, N. J. The sweltering atmosphere of the afternoon bad not abated with the setting of tbe tun. The person in that great hall who could not get a fan was unfortunate. Standing at tbe edge of tbe platform and looking out toward tbe seats it was a vast sea of moving palms. Standing on th tloor of the hall aud looking ut tbe stupo there was the same wuve after wave of undulating, motion. The members of

the chorus were even worse oil than were the delegates. Being at the rear of the hall and close up to tho roof, they got no benelit from what little air there was going. All during tbe song , service the peoplo came Hocking in. Br & o'clock the hall was more than two-thirds full. The galleries also bad tbeir full quota, and before tbe meeting was over there were fully 3,000 people preterit. .There was no gainsaying the fact that all appeared to be interested in the proceedings. It was not like the crowd that has been seen at the theater, at a musio festival or at an out-of-door fete. It was quieter. There was not so much fussing about getting seated, nor was there such a. buzz of talk. Menv and women " eacb, when seated, settled quickly down aud then turned eyes and thoughts to tbe platform in front. There was tbe usual confusion at tbe doors, bnt even that soon subsided as the proceedings continued. Tbe lirst business called was tbe report of the programme committee, Kev. C. A. Keese, chairman. Ho reported that tho programme for tbe evening would bo the same at was on the printed situs, with the exception of the substitution of" the name, of X B. Gambrell. of Meridian, Miss., for that of A. J. Dickinson, of ijelrna, Ala. KKPORT OF THE MANAGERS. The report of the board of managers by F. L. Wilkins, D. D., its chairman, was a complete review of the work of the union. It was as follows: Below are givon extracts from the report of Secretary Wilkins. of the board of managers, giving suoh parts of it as are statistical and of general interest: Two rematkab: years of progress for the Baptist young people's federation call lor our thanksgiving and devout review. The Chicago convention of lbUl 60imded a clarion note among our churcbes to arouse to a new consecration, education and enlistment of our young Baptist hosts. Two thousand nine hundred delegates responded. Tho surprise of that historic meeting had scarcely worn away when the letroit convention with its 4,117 names enrolled came with nil led assurance that the clarion had been widely heeded. The Iuuiauapolis convention brings us together to sarvvy a year of widening inlluenco aud of Intensified conviction a to young people's organization conviction that tne training of Baptist young people should be committed in aeeordauee . with tho tin.e-honored custom of Baptisia to a distinctive Baptist leadership in the local church, in tho aaociulion, In the State and in tbn Natiou. American Baptisu.with y,OOt,oOOmembers,havo a prodigious responsibility for the mainteuunco of the principles of a New Testament Christianity in the hearts of their children, and through their children for the spread of those principles in the world. The work of tho union for 16U2-3 may be summaiized under three heads-Orgaiilzation.edu-

catiou and enlistment. Organization: To foster organized work for young people in all tho Baptist churches in North America is one of the fundamental purposes of the union. In iulttlKuent of this end over3r,oooiotters,postalcardsand circulars have been sent ....t ly correspondenee. Twenty thousand sample copies or loo Young People's Union have beeu distributed. President Chapman has traveled over seventeen thousand miles in tho Interest of the work. The Hev. J. C Thorns, as field secretary, and the Kev. J. II, Scott, a) business manager, up to the time of their resignations, rendered much helpful service along these lines. The union has felt compelled, in order to command the trrowing responsibilities of its work, to enlariro its own plans. The executive committee has been increased from fteven to nine members. Subcommittees have been authorized to represent eacb of the color divisions. The plans for the founding fund havo been enlarge l to secure, if possible, 50,000 instead of $.23,000, the amount lirst named. At a conference of representatives of tho American Baptist Missionary Union, tho 'American Baptist Publication Society, the Amerio.iu Baptist Home Mission Society and the Baptist Young People's Union of America in Denver, May J5, tho representatives of the throe first-named societies unanimously agreed to recommend to each of the societies tho adoption of the following resolution: Believing that the B. Y. 1 U. A. has within it possibilities of good for the denomination and the kinudom of Christ at large, and Hud tng its management heartily disposed to make it auxiliary to our general societies iu awakening the interest of the young people and securing their otlerlngs for the work of these societies, we do cordially commend the union to the denomination, and do heartily approve of its elTort to secure a fund of not less than $.j(,oOU for the general purposes of the organization as indispensable to its ellicicnt workiug aud largest success. WORLD'S FAIR 'RESOLUTION. At the conclusion of the reading of the report of the board of managers the. com mittee on resolutions, of which4?ey. II. Ill Hunt, of New York, is chairman, made its report. Itwas read by Hev. Hunt, and he stated that it was only a partial one, having been gotten ready in such haste for the reason of tbe meeting of the directors of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chisago to-day. That meeting is for tbe purpose of decidtng finally whether cr not the fair shall be kept open on ."Sunday, and the committee was desirous of getting its resolutions before it before that time. He said that the committee dosired that tbe resolution which it was about to present should bo telegraphed to tho directors by tbe president of the convention as expressive of tbe convention's voice in tbe matter. It was as follows: . To the 1 inetorsof the Wond'a Columbian Expos Uon, Hand & MoNally's Building. Chl ago We. the Baptist Young People's Union of America, representing 2,000.000 Baptist young people, hereby pledge ourselves that in tho. event of the closing of tho gates of the fair on Sundays we will do all iu our power to make the fair the greatest success possible. Tbe resolution was carried by a unanimous vote, and there was prolonged applause when it was read. t Tbe Hev. E. N. Glover, of Chicago, advanced to the front of the platiorm at the conclusion of its reading,, and stated tbat be desired to make a motion. He naid tbat he had just returned from tbe oouvention of tbe Christian Endeavor Society, which met in Montreal, at which place they were harrassed iu such an outrageous manner by the Catholic element of the city, and tbat he moved tbat tbe convention send to the Catholic Mayor ot that city a telegram which would show tboconvention'sappreciation of tbe uniform kindness and fairness witb which he treated its many guests. When ho had concluded some man out in the audience rose to his feet and seconded tbe motion. He bad not gotten tbe words out of his mouth before, from another part of the hall, tiiere came a cry of "Xo." The Hev. (.Hover's motion w as lost, and one tbat the matter be referred to the committee on resolutions was carried. There was an ev idence of feeling against tbe actions of thecitizens of Montreal which could not be overcome. ftir. GAMUTIKLL OX ROMANISM. The speakers of tbe evening followed after tbis. Tbe lirst of them was tbe Kov. J. 13. Gambrell, of Atlanta, Ga. Hev. Gambrell bad the appearance of a man who, in bis younger days, was a typical Southerner. He was tall and thin, with eyes which lacked none of their lire, although his hair and beard were grey, and be spoke in a quick, decided manner, as though his convictions were arrived at quickly and supported with warmth. His subject was "The Movement and the Local Church." Ho began by saving that the people of tbis day heard a great deal about things other than tho church, and that a great, many people considered these things Of more im portance than the church. Iu fact, most anything was better than the chtircb to them. but. be said, tbe church of your home, whether it be in tbe city, in tho vil lago or in tbe country, is far above any thing lse which can bo mentioned besid it. He baid: "ion can never iinnrovo on the local 1'aptUt Church. It hat beon fin ished oil mid the end tucked in. hull, it needs a little more attention. Now. thero are many people who cannot bo induced to oouto to a convention iikn this. 1 have a great fondness for a tool. (An plause.) tioiuetuuos a foul represents , a

creat principle. He stays at home and

takes care of his church while tbe rest are away. It is a good thing for him to do so, aad it is just as good for the others to attend such gatherings as these. One thing that is menacing our church is the mdenendence of some of the people who am its members. Tbey do not want any advice to be given them about things, nor do they want to learn anything. 1 might tell these independent people what would bo good for them, but they might not want to accept it. and tbat would be all the more con clusive proof that it would be good for them, lint I will not do so." He spoke in general terms of tbe at tractive things outside of tho home and the church which are provided for young peo ple in these modern days. He particularly mentioned the social clubs, which, he said. were "abominations to high heaven." Ho said that tbey were pleasant places for the young men. and that th'eir members were in good fellowship with everything, including tbe devil. Keturning to local churches he said tbat a great many of them were too locaL Ho said that tbev were like' un Indian name wbicn has been given to a certain btato. Alabama. which means "Here we rest." He said that they were satisfied with getting along iu most any kind of a way. just so they got enough together to prevent the preacher iroin leaving auu to pay tuo organist. The speaker said: "lbat reminds me of the report of a MiesissiDpi church, which happened to come to my no- ' A . 4. I . n ..a It A . M m 1 a1 1 A n mm V I ) a m m ... A I hud. xv nan uuuut as tuiiuns. uccoiicu for foreign missions. nothing: received for borne missions, nothing: amount in tho treasury, blank, and amount due from subscriptions, blauk. l'ray lor us. brethren. tlrat we may hold out laithloi to the end.'" This was greated with a roar of laughter. He concluded by Baying tbat one of tbe greatest benefits to be derived from the present meeting was the amicable meeting ot tbe representatives of the North and South, and said that there was need of more of it. He said that he hoped tbat sometime the members present would all come to the ijouth, 'where." he said, "we have more Baptists, prettier llowers, sweeter singing birds and more babies than auy other place in the world." He spoke of the world s fair, and said he joined with all other Christams in hoping that tbe day would come when it would bo decided tbat its gates should be closed on the Sabbath day. and continuing, said: A There is a national crisis approaching, ana this crisis is 'rum, Komaaism and rebellion.' Not the rebellion against the laws of God and man. It will be caused by tbe great foreign element wbioh is creeping into our population, and which is binding us tighter every day in the grasp of tbe rum tralSo, and ot tbat religion which makes the Bab bath the same as any other day. I do not want it understood that I have any personal feeling against the Homanists, but when they strive by nil means in their power to bind tbe civil and religions rights of the citizens of this coun try to a foreign potentate. I must object." At thoconclusiou of the taltt ot the Kev. Gambrell the secretary read a number of telegrams from various parts of the country, one of which was from tbe secretary of a union in the northwestern part of Winnipeg. The Hev. P. d. Henson, of Chicago, was then introduced. A short man, with a suspicion or rotnnuiiy, ana witu rather a severe-looking faoe, circled by a grey beard, with the upper lip closely shaven, advanced to the front of tbe platform. He wore a frock coat tightly bnttoned, and a pair of steelrimmed spectaoles sat astride his noe. Before be spoke there was no snspio lou of the humor or the jollity with which he afterwards kept his hearers entertained. It all came out as soon as he spoke. His favorite ' gesture was to throw back tbe tails of his coat, thrust bis hands deep down in his pockets, tip up on bis heels, and tben tip beck. When ho made a particularly good nomt he would resort to tbat position, and his face would be wrapped in a broad smile the mean while. President Chapman introduced him as being from Chicago. When bo came to tbe front of tbe platform, be assumed his favorite position, and said: Know all men by these presents tbat the like of this never was brought forth in Chicago. , Ito, sir; but oia Virginia iorever. 1 no not want to speak disrespectfully of my adopted city. It is no mean city except in spots, and some times it is an spots. Everything comes to a bead in Chicago, and if that head proves to be a diabolical bend, we knock it on the bead. 1 do not suppose that there is a city in the world where there is any more intense religious fervor than there is iu Chicago, and is there one where there is any greater wickedness! There is one thing, however, and tbat is that its wickedness is like its river it is open, and it smells to high heaven. There is just as much wiokedness in New York and in Boston, but there it is covered up. and run into the sewers. 1 suppose that yon all have heard the story about tbe two shades that met in the other world. The first one asked the other where he came from, and be replied: 'From Chicago.' 'How do you like ltf asked the first one. and he replied: 'Well. 1 like it pretty well, bnt it is not what I expected. Always had things very nice iu Chicago aud I always thought heaven ws9 a little nicer place than thif.' V bv. you fool said tbe first shado. 'this is hell.' " Tbe speaker then went on to speak of tbe world's fair being opened on Sunday, aud std that be was cotitideut that it bad seen its last one in that condition. He aid that the fair directors met on Friday, and tbat it was a certain- thing that they would order it to bo kept closed. He veaid 'that such a pressure from the outside world had beeu brongbt to bear on them tbat it hud compelled tbem to do so, for whioh he praised God. He said tbat be was there to speak on federations. He said that he believed in tbem, and believed in them in a religions sense. He said that he had just gotten home from the meeting of tbe Society of Christian Endeavor at Montreal, and that ho had said there tbat Christian people were too busy fighting the devil to fight among themselves. He said: 'I want you all to join our army and keep in step in the good cause. You know that when a vast army is crossing a bridge itbnsto break step or tbe bridgb will go down. I non't want you to break step, if tho bridge ges down you know where we will all go together." lie said tbat he did not believe in denominatioualism, and that It ought to go its .way to tbe devil; nor did be believe in a chorch that was made for tbe rich, or one that was made for the poor. He thought it all ought to be one church, where God was worshiped, and where there wero no dis sendonsover creeds. He said tbat some peoplo arrayed these denominations in very tine rhetorical clothing anddrew very line pictures of it. but tht did notohange his belief. He said that we would not appear before the throne of God in any Dollv Vniden oostume, but in the plain light of truth. He said that in olden times at the apothecary shop tbe keeper of it was accustomed to dump the refuse of the various mixtures which he would compound in one slop jar, and when a man came in who had a variety of ills he would dose him out of tbe slop jar. He said tbat that whs just what some theologians were trying to do. They were dishing out a religion made up of a whole lot of compounds of tag ends of them all. "1 believe in a man sticking up for tho organization to which lie belongs. That it. riubr. If 1 had a dog that would trot just as comfortably under auy wagon as ha he wpuld under my own.
