'Traise Him! Praise Him!" and

uen rendered, in an excellent, and
impressive manner, the Anthems

on Heroes and heroines, or the men

is subject admirably, pointing out
in vivid descriptions the heroes
and. heroines we want, as well as
-sounding the keynote of danger in
a nation's people who do not line
up to moral code. His address was
A.fine one and added new lustre
to this already popular orator and
educator.
The announcements were then
made by the President, aler which
Ahe . convention closed with sing

J he first session was truly a feast

Alter singing rami is the V ict
ory, a general discussion on com
mittee work followed. Kev. L). E.
McLain said, "The committees are
the society at work. W. L. Bass-
ler, suggested that an old member
should be placed on each commit
tee, in order that a new committee
could do effective work at n nr-t-
It was suggested that each society
have a real live, wot king Temper
ance committee. "Our hope" was
the theme of C. li. Harman, who
spoKe earnestly and was of the
opinion that everybody should be
on a committee, and the regular
committee do the work left undone
by the committee of a whole. Cy
ril Haas suggested a Co. Lookout
Com, but as the next subject wason
that work it was left to V. L. Bas
sler. Kev. Kohler recommended a
good citizenship committee and a
Sabbath committee. His address
was filled with excellent suggest
10ns.
Lookout Committee of County
Union was then presented by W.

was for this committee to organize
new societies and look after those
who have been organized. By
motion it was decided that a com
mittee of five be appointed by the
President.
I. II. Wagner of Se'lmsgrove,
then opened the subject, How can
we most successfully reach our
young men. He ably and earnestly
pointed out various ways by which
young men could be reached, the
best being through young people's
societies, saying "It is for you and
me to inprsss the name of Christ,
For us as christians to live the lives
ol christians." Paying a beautiful
tribute to Our Pledge, and. loyalty
to it. Cyril Haas followed in a
soul stirring talk and asked wheth
er in our daily walks we ever whis
pered a prayer. It was said by Rev.
Kohler that there are 935,000 young
men in Pennsylvania and only 40,-

FRIDAY EVENING.
Opened by a praise service con

service. The 96th' Psalm was used
as a scripture lesson. For Christ

The choir then devoted fifteen
minutes in singing an anthem entitl
ed, "Arise.for Thy Light is Come,'
and a Duet by Misses Mame Stet-
I 1 m I 1
ler ana maoei urimm. I his was
rendered well and effectually and
favorably impressed the audience.
Cyril Haas was called upon who
being tilled with the spirit, nobly
and zealously appealed to the en
deavorers and all present that the
hrst half hour of each morning be
devoted to God, before the din and
bustle of the world has claimed the
attention of the mind. What an
earnest, sincere and noble plea from
model christian young man.
Would to God that every one pres
ent and everyone who may read
this report will follow his noble
plea. "We can, if we will," is the
Christian Endeavor motto for the
next year, let us apply it to the
first half hour in the morning, and
tell of the good results at next years
convention.
Dr. Dimm, of Susquehanna Uni
versity, addressed the audience on
Knowledge the substance of faith,
the promoter of spirituality. The
subject was handled in a deep, soul
stirring way, and fitted the hearts'.
ot the endeavorers for the final con
secration service.
Rev. Barb occupied a few mo
ments in expressing his thanks and
gratitude to those who so kindly
co-operated with him in making the
deliberations of the convention
so successful and promised the
same earnest.cordial support to the
new president, Rev. McLain.aswas
accorded him during his term by
same.
The closing service of the even
ing was the consecration service,
conducted. by Cyril Haas. Nearer
my God to Thee was used as the
beginning of this soul stirring ser
vice. Each society then responded
by delegations, and in song, prayer
and Scripture passages the spirit of
Christ was instilled into the hearts
of the endeavorers rising andformmg
a circle which extended around the
auditorium and the Sunday school
room of the church. Joining hands,
and with throbbing hearts they
lifted up their voices in singing that
grand old hymn, "Blest be the tie
that Binds."

Additions to reiitm property
would never lie lusteiied with nn.Ia,
but with kotows, says a St. Lotii
lawyer, (when made by the tenant.)
The reason for this lies in the fact
that should lie wish to move awnv
and take with him the boards
other lumber composing the
if
and
i in-
provriueiits Jio lias Mafic. He
can
simply draw out the screws
and
take the planks. If he fastens tliein
.. 'il. Ti l
wan nans, nowevcr, He can remove
nothing, and the improvements le-
come the landlord's proiierty. The
fact results from a leijal mubble,
insisting that articles fastened with
screws are for temporary use, and if
put in place by the tenant are his
own property.
