APPENDIX. 309 



the delegates at the Christian Endeavor conven- 

 tion. There may have been some who indulged 

 in a cigar, but I did not see any one or hear of 

 any one. There were no smoking cars on most of 

 the excursion trains, and where there was one, I 

 understand it was not patronized. There is no 

 way, of course, of verifying any absolute state- 

 ment in regard to all the 40,000 young people who 

 were present, but in a general way it would be 

 safe to say that there was no smoking. 

 Sincerely yours, 



Francis E. Clark.
