Among the clergymen who took prominent part In the conference were Ilev. Dr. W. 11. McMillan, of Pittsburg: Ilev. Dr. Allen B. Phi'putt. of Indianapolis, and President F. E. Clark. The afternoon feature of Interest for Endeavorers wai a conference of district and city union officers conducted by General Secretary Baer. Many suggestions for strengthening the unions and turtherlng the cause through such fraternity were brought cut by the discussions. Other features wre conferences of Junior society workers of the "Floating Society" and of the -Travelers' Union." Hi?hop w. V. Arnett (colored), presided over the Tent Endeavor meeting. Rev. Dr. Quayle. of Indianapolis, one of the sneaker on the evening programme, was announced to have been called to Kansas to the bedtide of his dying father. Silent prayer was ciTered in behalf of Dr. Quayle. The devotional exercises were led by R. R. ratterson, of San Francisco: the moments of meditation and prayer by Ilev. George 12. Soper. of St. Paul. The address of the evening was by President John Henry Barrows, of Oberlin College. During Us delivery the rain again descended. Increasing until the noise on the I oof nearly, drowned the sound of Dr. Barrows' a voice and he-was compelled to defist. Umbrellas were raised all over the tent, but comparatively few left, and the crowd ptayed and eung-pong after song, overcoming all sounds of the storm and all Ideas of Increasing discomfort. DR. BAROWS S ADDRESS. At length the rain ceased long enough to allow Dr. Barrows to proceed. lie said in part: "The Christian college cannot be understood without understanding its purpose, to mold the heart and character, to shape the will and the life, as well as to sharpen the Intellectual faculties of the students. 'Education, as Herbert Spencer has said, is to prepare us for complete living.' Man, being the kind of person he Is, needs right Ideals and something better besides. He needs the spirit and the heavenly forces which help him to fasten his affections on -lght ideals. The purpose determines the Qality of an action, and also. In a measure, the results cf It. If religion is something worth while in education, we ought to be willing to declare It, to announce it in every wise way. Through the life which the student lives there should ever run the golden thread which leads to God. The aim of the Christian college is not reached by turning out students who are merely believers in Christianity, who consent calmly and indifferently to its creed. It aims to fill its students with the spirit of St. Paul, to make them alive In the service of Christ, and to fire them with the enthusiasm of humanity. It proposes to send them forth equipped with the knowledge of that book which) more dan any other has kindled the Imagination and the moral sentiment of mankind. The president of Clark University believes that the Bible 'is being slowly rerevealed as man's text-book Is psychology, dealing with him as a whole his body, mind and will. And President Gllman affirms that 'the ethics of the New Testament will be accepted by the scientific, as well as the religious, faculties of man.' The president cf a state university has affirmed from his own experience the conviction that a state institution cannot exist unless it is founded upon a religious basis. Agencies to promote religion among students in state colleges are, however, no part of the education provided by the state. State universities which began by requiring church and chapel attendant have given up this requirement. State Institutions cannot discharge a teacher who is hostile to Christianity. Christian schools can. "There are special reasons to-day which thow that the part taken by the Christian college in our national life is growing important and strategic. America, already the richest of nations. Is to become far richer. The number of the wealthy will be increased, and millions will have most of the comforts and even luxuries which the very rich now enjoy. The tendency of opulence Is to enervate. Christian character needs to be . hardened, and fortified against luxury. And a manhood 'that can stand money' is what the Christian college alms to produce and what Oberlln College has produced Ir. the few men of her graduates who have given their lives successfully to the getting of great fortunes. Education, refinement, culture, wealth, luxury, are among the powerfulest forces of misery, restlessness and vicious discontent that exists in the world to-day, unless they are penetrated and controlled by the religion of Christ, which gives peace, love.-courage, faith, hope and Joy. Our civilization rushes -to a vast and fatal plunge unless God is .enthroned In the educated minds of our people. Education without religion Is architecture without foundation and roof. "On every Fide of us we hear the loud demand for educated men who are fitted to the world's present work. Character comes from character: and nothing in the way of culture or machinery or wealth can take the place of Christianized personality. The households need them. Our churches need them. Oh. how badly! And sometimes two or three devoted, well-trained, sensible men and women will do far more for the life of a church, for Its growth and prosperity, than hundreds of inefficient, poorly trained, even if not indifferent, members. "As a character building institution the Christian college holds an unrivaled place. Dome studies, as already intimated, are difficult, but the forming of character is both the most difficult and the- most important task given to the Christian teacher.. It la the most difficult, for 'it is a far harder task to form a single moral virtue, than to become a philosopher Virtue is the habit of doing good: and habits grow with us longer and more potentially than the knowledge of the facts of science and history. Germany does not think It safe to educate her children leaving, out religion. In France the schools are proving a prodlClous ethical failure, because, owing to a net unnatural fear of despotic priest-craft, the highest truths and motives are omitted from the school life. Criminal statistics" In France, as well as In America, indicate that there Is a horrible failure somewhere in the education of the youth. We are witnessing a strong reaction in favor of ethical training: but It is plain that the code of morality which ignores religion la both incomplete and Ineffective. Morality without religion. Frederick Harrison pronounced 'a rattling of dry bones Those who have the administration of schools and colleges should give heed not only to character, but-to convictions, in those who are called upon to teach. .For it has been truly said that 'one man can sow more tares in a single day than a dozen men can root up in a month What men need Is not only truth, but an Inclination to obey the truth. 'And a code of morality, however pure and perfect, has no more motive power in It to make a man obey it. than the knowledge of geography has to make a man travel around the world. - i .

A college training that does not mold right character, that leads to dilettantism and selfish refinement and excluslvenesa like thos of the later Roman empire, or of the brilliant era of the Italian renaissance, does not meet the requirements of trffe education. Such a culture does not help forward human development. Such a culture among the mandarins of China to-day Is a chief obstacle to the regeneration of that thoroughly terrestrial empire." MEMORIAL SERVICE. The meeting in Tent WUILston took the form of a memorial service. Eulogies were delivered upon the life and character of Gladstone. Frances H Wlllard and George Mueller. Dr. Clark presided and the devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. E. D. W. Jones, of Allegheny, Pa. Forceful words of love and appreciation concerning the character of Frances E. Wlllard were fpoken by illss Jessie Ackerman, of Chicago. Her address was always impressive and Fometlmes iwtheile. Misa Ackerman said that Miss YVi'.lard would be best knewn in history as a philanthropist and reformer. She, commended the Legislature of Illinois for the parage ol an appropriation to erect In Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington a bronze figure of the great temperance advocate. ; Rev. Dr. John Pollock, of Glasgow. Scotland, eulogized William E. Gladstone, whom he characterized as the most commanding figure of the nineteenth century, as Washington was the most commanding figure of the eighteenth. The eloquent periods of the Scotch clergyman, painting in graphic colors the nobility of the great prime minister's character, brought forth round after round of applause from the big audience. "George Mueller, the ApoMle of Prayer." formed the subject of an Interesting address by Rev. James Mursell. of London. England. Rev. Dr. Wayland Iloyt. of Philadelphia, .poke in honor of "Our Soldiers and Sailors." Tremendous applause greeted his reference to Admirals Dewey and Schley, and Theodore Roosevelt, and to the American successes in the battle of the Spanish war. A novelty on the programme, which aroused great enthusiasm, was the introduction of Rev. Mr. Mazerona, a native Cuban and an evangelist amorg his people, who expressed his thanks to the American people for the liberation of Cuba. The pouring rain, which during the latter part of the meeting dashed against the canvas and in some degree penetrated its crevices and poured down on the people within, could not affect the staying powers of the big audience, and the meeting was concluded with no diminution of the crowd. Nearly a hundred officers and trustees of the United Society were present at a dinner given In the Hotel Cadillac at 5:30 this evening by the trustees to the chairmen of the local committees. The dinner was conducted informally and increased the pleasant relations existing between Its hosts and guests. The tfustees to-day consumed some time In the dlscuspion of matters concerning the 1900 convention at London and the methods and rates of ocean transportation, but ad

journed without definite action. There is understood to be a plan under consideration for the chartering of several large ocean steamships to carry the American Endeavorers to England. Secretary Raer pays the idea Is to make a straight fare for all parts of the ships and have the second cabins and steerages fitted up as nearly as possible on an equality with the iirst-cabin staterooms, and also to allow the passengers full privileges of the upper decks and provide them with all possible conveniences. RAN INTO A WASHOUT. Detail of the Wreck of the Darlington Express TV ear AValdron, Mo. KANSAS CITY. Mo July 7. Fireman Charles Welty. of St. Joseph, was killed and twenty passengers were slightly injured In a wreck on the Burlington road half a mile from Waldron, Mo., last night, the northbound train for Omaha going through a culvert. Dr. Davis, of Philadelphia, who had an ankle sprained, and a mail clerk, who had a hand cut, suffered the most serious hurts. The others were only scratched cr shaken up. Most of the injured were bound for the Omaha Exposition. The rain had washed out a culvert and 200 feet of track. A relief train from Kansas City carried physicians, who cared for the Injured. The wrecked train was the Omaha night express, and at the time of the accident was running about twenty-five miles an hour. A cloudburst had washed out a considerable piece of trackage a few minutes before, and within ten minutes the water rose three feet on the level. A terrific wind was blowing. The engine passed over the culvert without leaving the rails. The mall car was turned over on its side and such was the force of the water that it was washed twenty feet from the track. For fifteen minutes the scene was a veritable whirlpool. The baggage car was overthrown and carried thirty feet from the track. The first coach was thrown on its side, and the sleeper, containing seventeen passengers, was also overturned. The engineer remained on his seat and was not hurt. . Fireman Welty Jumped to save himself. His body was found on top of driftwood, aeainst the floor of the overturned mall car. The water disappeared almost as quickly as it had risen, and after the first shock and confusion the passengers were removed from the overturned car. NEW WAGE SCHEDULE.

IN FAVOR OF A TRUST. Contract Made ly Trenton Potterle Held to Be Binding. TRENTON. N. J., July 7.-The New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals to-day. In a very sweeping opinion, reversed the decision of Vice Chancellor Grey In the cases of the Trenton Potteries Company against Richard Ollphant and others. The Trenton Potteries Company is the EO-called sanitary ware trust formed a few years ago by the purchase of five sanitary potteries in Trenton, including the OHphait. The potteries selling out entered into a written agreement not to start anywhere again In the United States, except Nevada and Arizona. Subsequently the Ollphant started in opposition, and Vice Chancellor Grey refused to restrain the Ollphant. taking the ground the contract was in restraint of trade. The Court of Errors to-day said: "It ls not a question whether sanitaryware is a necessity of life," and also remarked "the contract did not take out of business any large proportion of those engaged In It." The elgnlflcant part of the opinion is that corporations In New Jersey have, under authority of legislative acts, the right to buy the capital stock and business of other corporations, ?.nd that a contract such as that made by Ollphant would be necessary to secure the full benefit of such purchase. Tho court said it must be guided by the legislative authority given to those corporations, and, therefore, holds the contract made by Ollphant to be enforceable whether it restrains trade, or not.
