The convention was culled to order
by the president, K. ll. ltaeoii, on Satur
day at 11 a. m when Miss llertie
Waldie. of lirooklyn. read lief report,
which was considered highly satisfac
tory as liulieating inuterlal progress in
the work of the society. J. 1.. Tiffany,
editor of the Xleholson F.xumlner, pre
sented tli." treasurer's report, which also
showed a healthy condition In the af
fairs of the society.
The question box was opened and the
followins question placed before the
meeting: "Whut is your idea eoncern
iiiK amusements, und how far should
the church support them'."' llev. F. A.
Hlsbee, of Philadelphia, opened the dis
cussion and at'Kued that It was the duty
of the churches to provide attractive
and harmle.-samuseinoiits for the youni;
men to counteract the prevalent Im
moral attractions. Hew C. W. Powell,
pastor of All Soul's, took a broad view
of the question, and said that it was
unquestiouuly the duty of all churches
to provide amusements for the youns-r
members of their cvntfi'eKUtiotis, and
further to establish means where all
youni; men. whether church members
or not, could lind some means of passing
their evening free from the contamina
tion of saloons and other resorts which
welcome, with open arms, the youni;
man whose time hangs heavily.
Plea for omit; Men.
The reverend gentleman made a pow
erful appeal on behalf of the youn.i; men
who. beset by temptations on either
hand, have no opportunity for social
companionship in aa atmosphere contre
niul and at the same time of an elevat
ing tendency. The question was dis
cussed at some length, and the general
drift nf the speeches were favorable
In repurdini; it as the duty of ull
churches to providemeans for the recre
ation of the rising generation. On Sat
urday evening an excellent musical pro-gramm-'
was provided and a crowded
audience showed their hearty apprecia
tion of the efforts of the musicians.
Yesterday morning a large congrega
tion was attracted by the announce
ment that Kev. Frederick A. Bishee,
"f the Church of the Messiah. Philadel
phia, would preach a special sermon,
In the course of his remarks the rever
end gentleman said:
"I'nlversalists never grow old, so it
Is easy to assume that we are all young
people here today, no matter what may
be the condition of our heads; so it is
very appropriate that we should, on the
occasion of this convention of young
people, devote this sermon very large
ly to the Interest of this organization.
There is one group of men to which I
want to call your attention, and that is
a group of Interested men and Interest
ed churches within the I'nlversallst de
nomination itself. Men and organiza
tions that have grown up within the
last H'O years, strong, vigorous, seem
ing to embody all that Is necessary to
continue life, yet theresprings up In the
midst of this last group a little sprout
of life, and there are some In this group,
who have questioned what will this
tiling amount to? it has in It ihe ele
ments of strength, of endurance, and
of growth, and today, after only a very
few years have passed, we rejoice In
the growth, the promise, the present
beauty of the Young People's Christian
union.
"What are the conditions necessary
to the growth of tills sprout that Is
growing up In our denomination? Men
have tried in the past to make different
churches grow, different religious or
ganizations grow, by rooting them In
their own opinions, or in the opinion of
others. They have tried to make them
grow by rooting them In what we called
"creed," but all creeds are human and
we have found that all creeds are built
on exceedingly shallow ground, where
there is not much depth, and when the
Keed is put Into that ground because
It has not much depth it feels the heat
quickly, the seed springs up and grows,
but, because it has no depth, It withers
away. There can be no possible endur
ing growth except that which Is rooted
In the eternal truth of (Jod.
Spirit of Jcmis Christ.
"There is another condition. This
sprout needs not only good jrround. It
needs watering and this growth of the
young people needs a constant watering
by the spirit of Jesus Christ. Now all
have recognized that as a statement ut
truth, but men have Interpreted It In
times past foolishly. They have said
that to be a Christian means thnt you
are to receive the spirit of Jesus Christ,
and that you nre thereby to be made
over after the fashion of some one else;
that lo be a Christian means that we
are all to be run Into one mould; that
we are nil to go out In one shape; that
there Is to lie uniformity and then
Christianity. Now, I do not find that
such Is the law of nature. I look Into
a garden nnd I see that there are
growths of many kinds. There Is tin
rose and the Illy and the violet; there
Is the palm, there Is the grass grow
ing. The gardener does not put one
kind of water at the root of the rose
nnd another at the root of the Illy, but
It Is the same water that flows to tho
root of each and every plant in the
garden. Ho, I thing, pouring the Spirit
of Christ In this great garden of hu
manity to the roots of life, we will
find thnt it has not made nil people
alike, and It is not designed to, but It
brings each one to his or her own pe
culiar perfection.
"Another condition Is that It must
have room to grow In the Invlgoratlon
of freedom; It must have room to grow
In the field of reason; It Is not to be
circumscribed; not to be held In; It Is to
be a movement that Is free, and a
movement that has liberty, not license.
A great many religious growths have
been cruHhed In times past, crowded
out of existence, choked out. There Is
a need today In all religious forces that
we recognize a changed condition of
life and base our religious conclusions
upon tho carefully made premises of
our reason we must know why n
thing Is so. It Is simply folly for any
one to go before tho modern audlenco
with all the mysteries of modern the
ology .or to preach that you must be
lieve this In order to be Huved, or fur
ther to say, that If you do not believe
this you cannot go to heaven when
you die. They lire not scared uny I
more.
Things We Cannot I ndorstand.
"The Until condition of growth 1st that
It be baptized constantly In the tinn
light of tlod's love. In the very na
ture of things there are a good many
tilings In this life that we cannot un
derstand, no matter how high the aver
age Intelligence may have gone, until
we see things as l!od sees them; there
must be a great many mysteries. We
will all come to stand sometime in the
presence of that great mystery that we
call death. We are confronted with
one of life's great mysteries that we
cannot reason out, and there conies
Into our life the opportunity for the
action of that great force, faith, conll-
dence and trust. I
"lttch as you are in the food of unl-
versal thought and uplrlt, outside these I
are the great multlludea who have j
fulled to get satisfaction ill other
churches who are Htarvlng for spiritual j
life. Will you sit quietly III your
homes and let them starve. We have
had one ebb and now 1 see the oncom
ing Hood, and I rejoice that on the
summit of a wave lire to be seen the
bright, hopeful, strong fences of our
young pooplo.hearing the banner of thu
Young People's Christian union."

Tomorrow the ntmuul spring munici
pal election will be held. There nre
lively lights for council In Home of the
wards, but the fact that no city olllccs
lire to be lilled robs tho contest of much
of Us interest for ibe aviquge citizen,
who generally looks upon u ward olllce
as something very ItiHlgnlllcant, In
reality these ward olllccs are of the
highest Importance and voters should
exercise tho greatest care In lllling
(hem.
An unscrupulous, small brained nnd
mercenary councilman can cause un
told damage to the i lly, and In like
manner bud election ofllccrs can nullify
the wlHh of the voters as expressed by
their ballots. It Is of great moment,
therefore, that all classes of citizens
should take an active Interest in Tues
day's election to the end that good
counellmen and election olllcers may
be selected.
In the First ward David lleese Is the
licpubllcaii nominee for common coun
cil, and John J. l.oftus, assistant fore
man at t he icggett's Creek shaft, is
running us an Independent. They are
waging a most stubborn light.
I'p In the Third ward, however, Is
where the real fighting is being done.
James tirier, the present Incumbent,
James (iallagher, and Thomas Jlobau,
all Democrats, are at it in the most
earnest manner. They are making one
of the liveliest campaign the ward has
known for theoineefur common council.
On the Wefct side.
lilehard 1). Thomaa has no opposition
for common council in the Fifth ward.
He Is the candidate of the Republican
party and Is a business man who occu
pies a high place in the esteem of his
neighbors.
Down in the Seventh
H. Smallrldgc, a well
Republican, unnounced

a week ago. Though
ward William
known young
himself us a
council about
the wnrd is
strongly Democratic Mr. Wmallrldge
has strong hopes of pulling out a vic
tory, ills opponent is M. F. Gllroy.
Captain Janus Molr will be elected
to succeed himself as common council
man from the Ninth ward, and so will
I'M ward Itobinsou from the Eleventh.
They have no opposition. In the Thir
teenth ward C. S. Seamuns, the Re
publican nominee, and Attorney II. B.
Reynolds, the Democratic candidate
are waging a lively battle. As the
ward has a big Republican majority,
Mr. Seamans should be an easy win
ner. He would make a valuable addi
tion to the common council.
Joseph Oliver has opposition In the
Fifteenth wurd for the olllce of com
mon council to which he aspires, lie
Is the regular Republican nominee,
and will unquestionably be elected.
Kugene Davis, Republican, and Lorenz
Zcidlcr, Democrat, are contesting for
the seat of Charles ). Schadt, of tho
Sixteenth ward, in the common coun
cil. Mr. Schiidt resigned when elected
county treasurer.
In the Seventeenth Ward.
Select nnd common counellmen are
to be chosen III the Seventeenth ward.
The vacancy in the select from that
ward was caused by the resignation of
Frank II. demons after he was chosen
sheriff of the county. Tho Republi
cans have nominated J. A. Lansing for
select council, nnd Luther Keller for
common council. They ure unopposed.
There Is a lively light in the Nine
teenth ward between P. J. Illckey, the
present Incumbent, who Is u Dem
ocrat, and Conrad Linn, a Republican,
for common council. P.oth men nre
waging a determined battle.
Another llerce buttle Is on In the
Twentieth ward between T. J. Coyne
and M. J. Cahlln for the scat In the
select council made vacant by the
resignation of Alexander T. Council,
who now represents the Second dis
trict In the legislature. In the Twenty
first ward Thomas Norton Is u candi
date to succeed himself In the common
council and Is uppoised In a vigorous
manlier.
AlJcrmnn of the l ighth.
One of the liveliest battles In the city
Is being fought In the Eighth ward be
tween WllllumS. Millar and John Fitz
slininons for the olllce of alderman.
Until men are making an enersetle
canvass.
There Is nlso a very stubborn fight In
progress In the Fifteenth ward for th
olllce of alderman.
Edward Fiddler, Republican, nnd
Isaac. Jenkins, Independent, are con
testing for the olllce of alderman in the
First wurd, and In the Second L. X.

derman of the ward, and Is a very com
petent person.
Alderman A, C. llalley Is u candidate
for re-election as alderman of the Trlr
