our Master, be it therefore resolved:
"First: That we express our ap

their diligence and tneir Inspiring and
helpful addresses; to President C. H.

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.
Third: That we endorse the stand
ards of the Executive Committee for
the county and local unions and in
dividual societies, and urge the same I
to. press forward the work to meet
this standard; that we commend our I
splendid state publication "The State
Bulletin" and recommend that our so
- cleties strive to have at least one sub- j
* scription to each family represented
in the society; that we will push for
ward the Campaign for Millions,
achieving as rapidly as possible our
State goals and faithfully co-operate
with our County Unions and State
Secretary in this forward march of
Christian Endeavor; that we pledge

erintendent and committeemen our
continued loyal support in all their
plans.

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."

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, ,

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.

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

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

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

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

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

iness has failed. Materialism has fail
ed. All of these things that we
thought made a World order have
collapsed. To-day we stand in a trag
edy of the things we thought would
stand forever.
Second. Be loyal to, humanity.
Think larger thoughts about God's
great Kingdom. I am a man before
I am an American, before I am any
thing else Old caste systems of India
are breaking down; new cast systems
of America are also breaking down;
going to swing into Christianity. The
basis of missions is the worth of hu
manity and the will of God.
Third. The time calls for a re-af
firmation of faith in America, faith
in humanity, and the times call for
a new faith in the old church.
Fourth. The world needs a new
Church a universal Church the
Church of Christ. The Church hasn't
spoken in compelling tones as yet.
The world doesn't understand the ne
cessity of the .world is with the
Church. You make no mistake with
your life when you put your life and
its best into the Church.
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.
The session closed with song and
the benediction pronounced by Rev.
Thomas Reisch, of Christ Lutheran
Church.
