Convention The report of the committee on res olutions was as follows: "WHEREAS, under the providence of our Heavenly Father we have been permitted to meet in this great con vention enjoying the hospitality of the Harrisburg Christian Endeavorers and their friends and being bound closer together in christian fellowship and receiving a renewed and enlarg ed vision of our opportunities and responsibilities as Christian Endeav orers in the work or the kingdom of our Master, be it therefore resolved: "First: That we express our ap preciation to the officials and citizens of Harrisburg for their warm wel come and thoughtful concern for our comfort: to the general committee for their tirelessness and efficiency in the management of the details of the convention; to the pastors and offic ials of the various cnurches, for the use of their Churches and their con stant effort to make successful each meeting; to the musicians and musical directors and the Harrisburg Chris tian Endeavor Choral Union for their beautiful and inspiring music; to the local press for the carefulness of their reports and the amount of space given In their newspapers; to the presiding officers and speakers for their diligence and tneir Inspiring and helpful addresses; to President C. H. Chain, to Secretary Macrory, to Treas urer Keller and the other officers and department superintendents and com mitteemen for their careful and ef ficient leadership in the affairs of the state union in keeping the old Key stone State in the very front rank of Christian Endeavor and in winning both banners offered by the Christian Endeavor World for securing sub scriptions in contest with other States. Second: That we send our greetings to the Christian Endeavor boys in the State Militia whose response to our country's call has taken them from their local societies and homes and kept them from this convention, and assure them or our prayers for their safety and welfare in the per formance of their arduous duties.

"Fourth: That we will pray for and work for and vote ror a 'Saloonless Nation in 1920' ana that we pledge ourselves to a persevering effort to bring about local option in our Key stone State, using the ballot and our influence for a hasty extermination of this great evil in our midst; that we record ourselves as irrevocably op posed to cigarets and urge such agi tation and education as will lead to a complete discontinuance of their use. "Fifth: That we recognizing the horrors of war and feeling that Chris tian Endeavor is to have a large part in bringing about world peace pledge ourselves to a preaching of the Gospel of Brotherhood In Jesus upon which foundation alone a lasting peace can come and work forward to the day when "wars shall cease unto the ends of the earth." Respectfully submitted by your committee W. E. Peffley, Grace D. Reimer, George A. Long. Livewire Workers A. J. Shartle, of the United Society of Christian Endeavor who Is one the speakers and conference leaders of the State C. E. convention here this week is noted as an efficient financial director. In his work as treasurer of the U. S. C. E. he has placed the world-wide activities of this organiza tion upon a firm basis. Recently the manager of an institution in New which does annually more than a mil lion and a quarter dollars' worth of business, said: "He is more and more a marvel to me. As a financial execu tive he Is unsurpassed; he leads us all, and his platform work grows in power from year to year." Mr. Shartle is also publication manager of the United Convention Sidelights The Rev. E. C. Curtis, general chair man of the convention committee an nounced last night that in reply to a request that the doors should be open before 7.15 o'clock it was decided that it did not work well. The ushers, many of them who are compelled to work, rush home, wash hurriedly, swallow their supper quickly and come to this place for service. When the ushers are not here the registered delegates are crowded out of their privileges. Doors will be opened In the afternoon at 1.15 o'clock, in the -evening at 7.16 o'clock. r Luzerne county is represented by a delegation of fifty Christian Endeavor experts. Each morning they gather at the Capitol for a quiet hour service, which le very helpful and starts the day right for all. This delegation left Wiles-Barre Tuesday morning over the Lehigh Val ley railroad in a special Christian En deavor coach and their headquarters is the Crystal Hotel, Market street. Luzerne county issued a challenge to all other counties in expert Endeavor and won by a lead of 95. The credit for this Is due the county president, the Rev. C. A. Frick, of Flrwood Church of Christ, Wllkes-Barre. and the expert superintendent, N. G. Grles, of Memorial Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-Barre. The untiring efforts of these men have made it possible for Luzerne county to make good its challenge, , FRIDAY EVENING.. ©PENNA. ENDEAVORERS MEET IN CLOSING SESSIONS © ENDEA VORERS TO ON CI CARET; TO FIGHT FOR LOCAL OPTION AND PEACE [Continued From First Page] of any State and Pennsylvania's young [people refused to be anything except i optimistic with regard to the chances | for a parade this afternoon. The sessions of the day began with the 45-minute "Quiet Hour" in Market Square Church. This was led by the j Rev. F. W. Tomklns, of Philadelphia. The Rev. Tomkins' three meetings have been great Inspirations to the delegates, giving at the very beginning of each day's work the spiritual tone that marks even the fun and play of an Endeavor convention. Sectional Conferences 1 The sectional conferences this morn ing were given up the discussion of the work of the State departments as planned by the departmental superin | tendents for the coming two years. Dr. B. W. Swayze, of Allentown, led the conference on citizenship and tem perance. In the Pine Street Church the important Junior conference was conducted by C. C. Culp, State Junior superintendent. \A department which has great strength in Great Britain but which only a few State Unions of this country carry out —the Floating En deavor work among the sailors—was discussed by State Superintendent H. P. McHenry, of Philadelphia, where most of this work in the State is done. The Press conference was led by the Rev. W. B. Greenway, of Philadelphia. Miss Carrie M. Rhoades, of Reading, took up the work of the Introduction department. Another somewhat un usual although well known branch of C. E. work that was discussed was the work in the prisons. Miss Anna B. Cunningham, of Uniontown, directs this work. Combating Ft Us Perhaps the most important confer ence as regards the results In efficient organization in the State during the coming two years was that on the work of the county and local union officers. General Secretary Vander sall, of the Ohio C. E. Union, which is, according to A. J. Shartle of the United Society of C. E.. probably the most efficiently organized of all the State Unions, led this conference. Mr. Shartle himself was director of the conference on Christian Endeavor publications, a work which he is par ticularly able to speak of, having been for years the publication manager of the U. S. C. E. The Christian Citizenship conference was of particular Importance to-day. Dr. Burton W. Swayze, C. E. E., of Al lentown, State superintendent, a mem ber of the Society of Sanitation and Moral Prophylaxis, the American So cial Purity Association, World's Purity Federation, and so on, spoke. He said in part: Union Officers' Meeting "There has been a tremendous awakening of conscience these past few vears and the fruits of the evan gelistic work of "Billy" Sunday, Stough, Biederwolf an dthe host of evangelists who are so strenuously preaching the old standards of right eousness, but dressed in new language are being shown in the greater acces sion to the churches of men who have voluntarily placed themselves under the Instructions of the Gospel where they will learn the true spirit of broth erhood. "The greatest evil we have been combating for several years, is that represented by the liquor business. Af ter wearing the yoke of debauchery for centuries it appears as if these later years will witness the freedom of the masses from the curse that has Im poverished them by the millions, and a new freedom secured through which the family will be united and the fam ily altar once more established In the home. "It is gratifying that we can report to this great convention that distinct gains have been made against the li quor business in our State, and that while two years ago there were but seven counties in the dry column— namely, Green, Lawrence, Bedford. Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Ven ango—yet at this present time there are eleven dry-counties—Green, Bed ford, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, Union, Wyoming. Jefferson, Venango, Mercer and Crawford. "Christian Citizenship is also show ing Its hand in the many other evils that surround our young people'. The reports which I have received from one-half of our county units shows that our Endeavorers have been tak ing an active stand against community evils, such as dance halls. movies, Sabbath desecration, profanity, Sunday baseball, theatrical performances and the like." Business Session The business session of the conven tion opened this morning with State Treasurer H. W. Keller, of Pittsburgh, presiding. Assisted by Miss Katherine D. Heikes, of Harrisburg. pianist of the Harrisburg C. E. Choral Union, Chorister Brewster led a short song service. Prayer was made by State Vice-President Wieand, of Bedford. Mr. Brewster and Cornetist Wiest ren dered a beautiful vocal and instru mental duet. A feature of the opening moments was the introduction to the convention of pretty little Miss Nellie Ford, of Pittsburgh, office secretary of the Pennsylvania Union. Many of the delegates were well acquainted with her by name but only a very few had ever seen the mysterious Miss Ford from whom they so frequently hear concerning C. E. work. An unofficial but very important State worker was also introduced —and the introduction brought applause—Mrs. H. B. Ma crory, the wife of the State general secretary. The little Macrorys were also called for but were not present. "Front Line" Societies Secretary Macrory read the list of those societies to which "front" certi ficates were awarded during the past two years. He also exhibited the handsomely engraved certificate of honor, and read the society and coun ty standards which the winning so cieties had attained. Certificates were awarded to "front line and banner societies. The only banner society in the State Is the Oli vet Presbyterian Church of Easton, Northampton county. Western Penn sylvania leads with the largest number of "front line" organizations. The cer tificates were awarded as follows: • Adams St. James Lutheran Church, Gettysburg. Allegheny Mt. Washington Pres byterian, Pittsburgh; Sharpsburg Presbyterian, Sharpsburg; St. John's Lutheran, Swissvale; Knoxville Pres byterian, Pittsburgh; Foi rth Presby terian, Pittsburgh. Beaver First Presbyterian, Am bridge; First Presbyterian, Freedom. Fayette Central Presbyterian, S<juth Brownsville. Lehigh Grace Reformed Church, Allentown; Dubbs Memorial Reform ed, Allentown.

Westmoreland—First Presbyterian, Monessen; Pine Run Presbyterian Church, Markle. The report of the resolution commit tee was here presented. Mr. Wlest then rendered a solo, "The Rosary," on the cornet. The report of the Press department which had been held over from yester day was read by the. Rev. W. B. Green way, of Philadelphia. He presented to the delegates a new set of "Ten Commandments" which they should observe In their publicity work. Miss Anna B. Cunningham, State superintendent of Prison Endeavor, made a brief report outlining the work of her department. The session closed with prayer by the Rev. C. E. Bough ter of the First United Brethren Church, and the benediction by Gen eral Chairman Curtis. The report of the nominating com mittee was delayed in com mittee and will not be made until very late to-day. Election Late To-day The nominating committee will meet for final business at 2.30 p. m. The election of officers will take place at a late hour this afternoon. Considerable interest is stirring among the Endeav orers about the officers to be elected and the matter will be thrashed out this afternoon. Joke o nthe Press Chairman State Press Superintendent Green way, of Philadelphia, is a funny man. At the conclusion of his report this morning when he had concluded his praise of the local papers for their ser vice he added, "Then there is another who should not be forgotten in this connection. One of your general com mittee here —Press Chairman er— Skllling or Willing—Oh, Schilling, Is It? Well if he is a shilling he ought to be half-a-dollar by now for the work he has done." Mr. Schilling was not present at the time and this is published without his knowledge. Afternoon Session This afternoon's session was feat ured by an address on the "Millions Campaign" by A. J. Shartle of Bos ton, connected with the United Society headquarters. He urged Pennsyl vania's Endeavorer hosts to do their part in the campaign of procuring a million new members In two years. H. B. Macrory. State Secretary of Pittsburgh, presided. N. Astley Brew ster led the song service and the Rev. C. H. Grove, pastor of Green Street Church of God, conducted devotions. The Rev. Dr. George Edward Hawes, pastor of Market Square Presbyterian Church gave an address on "Prayer and Efficiency" which was followed by a musical number. Mr. Shartle's ad dress came next. The Rev. Edgar E. Snyder, pastor of St. Matthew's Luth eran Church, this city, pronounced the benediction. Mr. Shartle said in part: "This is a convention of consecrated, Christian millionaires. You are not millionaires in money, but you are in numbers, and in opportunities. We think in millions, work for millions, achieve millions. Our first effort in anticipation of coming events is to mobilize our army, vitalize our per sonnel and evangelize the masses In order that we may enlist millions for Christ. In the vast army of Christian Endeavor, this State represents but a brigade, your county union a regi ment. each local society a company, ana every Endeavorer & member. The command has been given for the brigade to move forward. Million New Endeavorers "From the shores of Cape Cod to the great Chicago convention came this Inspiring challenge from our be loved Dr. Clark. 'I appeal to you, Endeavorers, as millionaires, to mobilize, vitalize, evangelize the mil lions. Endeavor to secure if possible in two years a million new En deavorers. "When we think of the nearly four million Christian Endeavorers scat tered throughout the world belong ing to more than 75,000 societies what a tremendous opportunity It is for the millions already enlisted to HAKftISBURO TELEGRAPH ISb v ■ ■HP ' |fl A REV W.

CUNNINGHAM s Uniontown State Prison Work Super intendent. help secure this new addition of one million more. Million New Converts "This leads us to Dr. Clark's second challenge to secure a million new converts uniting with the church. If there ever was a time in the history of the church when the harvest for souls surely was ripe, that time is now. There are men and women to-day In the slums of our cities that need to be saved. There are men and women at the office desk, the workshop bench in the factories, in fact everywhere, that are ready to listen to the call coming from the Kingdom. Million New Dollars "Then Dr. Clark also speaks of an other great feature of this campaign, ond reminds us that it would be well to raise during the next two years a million new dollars for missions. The greatest need in America and the church to-day is for consecrated men and women, and one of the greatest needs back of these consecrated men and women is a consecrated dollar. God is looking for someone to set an example. This does not mean ■ that Christian Endeavor Societies are to raise their proportionate share of one million new dollars over and above what they formerly had contributed, but it does mean that Christian En deavo. Societies are to raise their share of a million dollars for missions during the next two years, to be con tributed to either home or foreign mission boards of their denomination. Million New Peace Workers "If there is one feature of this great campaign for millions that will ap peal to world-wide Christian Endeavor at this particular time, it is Christian Endeavors' world-wide propaganda for peace. We want a million new mem bers of the peace union. The Song of the Guns "On the battlefields of Europe to day, there are members of Christian Endeavor Societies fighting ror what they think is a just cause, enlisted in thr army of their country, as loyal citizens of a nation, determined If necessary to lay their lives on the altar of their country that Its peace may be preserved. One need not go Into the details of the horrors of war. General Sherman has already told us what it Is. God spare the day when the call shall come to-us, but listen to the song of the guns as it was written by some one. and as it comes to us across the waters of the Atlantic. "Send your sons, send your sons, all your near ones, all your dear ones. Give us food, give us food. Give the strongest of your brood. Let us feed, let U3 feed, on the bravest that you breed. Give us meat, give us meat, O. the blood of Valour's sweet." "With God's help this is not tc? be the song of America's guns. Look at the old flag, Endeavorers. See these red stripes, red with the blood of your fathers who stained them red for principle. Look at the white stripes of the old flag and know that they are white with the virtue of holy motherhood of America. Your mother, my friends, our mothers. Then look again! See those glorious stars. These stars that shine In the everlasting blue of God's eternal truth! It stands to day as the real flag of peace. It stands for unity of purpose towards the peace of the world, and we pray that the day may speedily come when pence shall reign among all the peo ples In all the world. "Keeping this in mind, mere should go out from this convention In every person here present to-day, the strong desire for peace, and the full determi nation that it shall be a lasting peace, all of which can be stimulated by the signing of the Christian Endeavor Union Peace Pledge Cards, as they will be distributed by the officers of yout societies and unions. Ten Thousand New Societies "Again, Dr. Clark asks us to organ ize) In two years ten thousand new so cieties of Christian Endeavor. Here again Christian Endeavor needs but to repeat its wonderful achievements of a few years ago, when 10,245 so cieties were organized in two years. In every section of every county In the country, there are still churches ♦ ha< do not have Christian Endeavor Societies, and there are tens of thou sands of young people belonging to the church to-day who do not have the C. E. Notes Experts certainly showed their col ors at the banquet held at Harris Street United Evangelical Church last evening. The Rev. C. H. Frick, of Wilkes-Barre, presided. The Rev. Stanley B. Vandersall, delivered a striking address on "Expert Endea vor." He said Expert Endeavorers could gain considerable knowledge if a book would be published with full Instructions and helpful suggestions by some author. Luzerne county, with Mr. Grice, the county expert superintendent, was in troduced and announced that Luzerne county won in the Expert increase contest. Luzerne has 400, Allegheny second, Philadelphia third and Le high county following. The Endeavorers are pure in every sense of the word and claim that they could not afford to let the "Brewers' Big Horses Run Over Me." ; "Rody" calls the convention chorus "The warblers of Harrisburg" with Prof. McCarrell as chorister, included. George Ashley Brewster, "Rody's" assistant led the music last evening with much tact and kept the big dele gation in fine trim until the program was opened. Venango Endeavorers were delight ed to reach Harrisburg yesterday. They motored to this city via Pitts burgh and Bedford. Those in the party were: Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Per sons, Harry Osborn and Susan Adams. Robt. Matthews, of Kentucky, has been unable to attend the convention on account of sickness. Prof. Frank A. McCarrell, of this city, is taking Matthews' place at the piano, assisted by Miss Katherlne D. D. Heickes, pianist of the Harrisburg C. E. choral union. opportunity to belong to these so cieties. 20,000 New Quiet Hour Comrades "Then realizing that one of the greatest needs of the church to-day is the deepening of the spiritual life of both old and young people, Dr. Clark again suggests to us another feature that will meet this requirement, namely, the securing of twenty thou sand new comrades of the Quiet Hour as the one outstanding feature that will deepen the spiritual life of the young people in the church; that they may learn to pray and read their Bible every day. To somewhere in the early hours of the morning spend at least fifteen minutes in getting in quiet touch with God in prayer. Bible reading, and quiet meditation. "In order that missions may be stimulated. In order that the matter ot financing the church as a whole may be met, a matter of standard business policy it is further suggested that while engaged in this great campaign, we endeavor to secure 10,000 new members of the Tenth Legion. "This splendid department of Chris tian Endeavor was first organized in the New York Union, and later was adopted by the United Society of Christian Endeavor for its more pow erful advocacy. Since that time the Tenth Legion has grown at the rate of nearly 200 members a week, so that tc-day thousands of Christian En deavorers are enlisted in this special phase of systematic Christian giving. "The new Increase and Efficiency Campaign brought us face to face with a proposition that is to-day one of the principal factors in the develop ment of the young people of our so cieties. The bringing of more than 1,- 200,000 young people into the societies of Christian Endeavor In the past few years has meant to us also the teach ing and training of these young people car. be made more efficient in the larger service of the church. Conse quently, we are asking for ten thou sand new Christian Endeavor Experts. "Finally coming to therlast phase of this great Millions Campaign, we are asking as a culmination of all these things the enrollment of five thousand new life work recruits to be secured in two years. "It is possible for you to do your part in securing in two years a mil lion new Endeavorers, a million new converts uniting with the church, a million new dollars for missions, a million new members of the Peace Union, ten thousand new societies of Christian Endeavor, 20,000 new Com rades of the Quiet Hour. 10,000 new Legionaries, 10,000 new Christian En deavor Experts, 20.000 new yearly subscribers to the C. E. World, 5,000 now Life Work Recruits." Evening Session Chestnut street auditorium was fill ed with Endeavorers last night to hear the noted author. William T. Ellis, of Swarthmore. Since he has last spoken to Pennsylvania Endeavorers, Mr. Ellis has twice circumnavigated the globe, visiting every nook and corner of the world. Because of serious illness in his family in Kentucky, Mr. Robert Matthews, the convention pianist, was forced to be absent from the evening session. However, Prof. Frank A. Mc- Carrell and Miss Katherine D. Heickes, of Harrisburg, volunteered to fill the un-expected vacancy. Prof. Homer Rodeheaver was called to At lanta, Ga.. because of the opening of the Ay-South Convention of the En deavorers of the Southern States. His place was filled by Mr. Geo. Ashley Brewster, assistant chorister. State Vice-President C. Lee Gaul, of Chester, presided. The service opened with song and prayer by the Rev. A. M. Stanford, A. M., D. D. editor of the Sunday School literature of the United Evangelical church. Take Financial Pledges Cheers ana applause as usual greeted State President Chain when he took the platform for a present ation of the State finances for the next two years. The ushers passed sub scription envelopes to the delegates with which they were to make their personal and county pledges for the support of the work of the State. While this was being done publica tion Manager A. J. Shartle, of the United Society of C. E., Boston. Mass., led forward State Secretaries Macrory of Pennsylvania and Vandersall, of Ohio. He complimented them upon the results achieved by their States in the recent Expert Endeavor contest. He declared that these two men are the greatest field Secretaries in Am erica to-day. "Call of the Crises" "Mr. Ellis was then Introduced ,for his address. He said In part: * "I have seen all sorts of people and places but I have come home saying that it is fine to see the old world and wander up and down but now I feel that I have had enough of anti quated times. America for me. My heart is turning home again. You travel the whole world over as I have done; see the wondrous sights as I have seen them and you will come again to say that in beauty, in grand uer, in fertility, in character, Penn sylvania is unmatched in all the world. I say this because I have a vis ion of the to-morrow. "This is the hour of youth the hour of faith when we believe great things, attempt great things, expect great things. We are in the midst of the greatest crisis since the morn ing stars have sang together old things have passed away we have come to a World War.

First Woman Speaks The first woman to address the Convention was Miss Mildreth Hag gard, C. E. Junior Specialist. She brought greetings from the South Dakota Endeavorers. She stated that the last Convention In South Dakota was by three times the largest evei held, registering 76 delegates. This drew applause for the plucky western State. She also brought greetings from her home State, Minnesota. Her address in part follows: Home Training a Paradise Lost "The greatest evangelistic agency in the world is the home." Yet, home training is to-day a 'Paradise Lost,' the home having turned over many of its functions to the public schools. I would like you to go away from hene with the thourht of a 'Paradise Regained' in your hearts. It is a fact that four out of every five boys who come under the influence of the church are never saved. The one who is saved is that one who early estab lished habits of regular Church at tendance, not leaving the Church building after the Sunday school as If the Church door were barred against further admission. "All the religious work that is done by any organization should be ulti mately Intended to reach the boys and girls. Continued increase in ef ficiency of organization in other branches of Church work Is being made but so far very little has been done to improve methods in the work among children. Christian Endeavor is supreme in the value of its work in training the children. It is a fact that it is the second evangelistic agency for producing results. Reports from ministers show that 41 per cent, of new converts come rrom the En deavor societies, and tens of thou sands of Sunday school superintend ents and teachers are annually taken from among the ranks of the Endeav orers.
