Christian  Endeavor  At¬ 
tacks  New  York. 
THK  CITY  CAPTURED. 
As  many  readers  of  The  Rugae  are 
members  of  the  Christian  Endeavor  So¬ 
ciety  or  are  acquainted  with  its  history 
and  principles,  it  will  be  unnecessary  to 
state  to  them  that  its  eleventh  annual 
convention  has  iust  been  held  in  New 
York  city.  Nearly  all  who  attended 
were  delegates,  and  those  who  did  not 
go  may  be  assured  of  hearing  full  and  in¬ 
teresting  reports  by  word  of  mouth  on 
their  return  or  through  the  religious 
papers.  As  I  was  not  a  delegate,  but 
merely  a  sj’mpathetic  visitor,  my  report 
finds  a  place  in  The  Rural. 
The  question  to  be  answered  first  is : 
How  were  we  impressed  with  the  conven¬ 
tion  and  everything  pertaining  to  it  ? 
It  may  properly  be  called  the  largest 
religious  gathering  of  modern  times. 
Not  far  from  30,000  strangers  were  in 
New  York  for  the  purpose  of  attend¬ 
ing  it.  The  main  meetings  were  held 
in  Madison  Square  Garden  which  can 
accommodate  perhaps  17,000  people  by 
close  crowding.  As  soon  as  the  available 
seats  and  standing  room  were  occupied 
the  doors  were  closed,  and  those  barred 
out  attended  overflow  meetings  which 
were  addressed  by  competent  speakers 
and  which  were  held  in  the  open  air  in 
Union  Square,  and  in  adjoining  churches. 
On  the  last  day  of  the  convention  Music 
llall  and  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House 
were  utilized  for  this  purpose.  We  were 
strongly  impressed  with  the  extent  of 
area  represented.  Every  State  and  Ter¬ 
ritory  in  the  Union,  including  Alaska 
and  all  the  Canadian  Provinces,  as  well 
as  Mexico,  England,  Spain,  Africa,  India, 
Japan  and  China,  sent  special  delegates 
who  addressed  the  gathering.  We  were 
also  impressed  by  the  great  size  of  the 
convention  hall.  I  found  by  pacing  it 
off  the  longest  way  that  the  distance  be¬ 
tween  the  two  opposite  galleries  -was  20 
rods,  and  as  the  speakers’  platform  was 
in  one  end,  even  with  the  immense  sound¬ 
ing  board  over  it,  those  in  distant  parts 
of  the  hall  had  great  difficulty  in  dis¬ 
tinguishing  the  remarks  of  the  loudest 
speakers.  We  were  impressed  with  the 
spirit  of  unity  manifested.  All  the  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  organization  being  instructed 
in  the  same  methods  of  service,  it  was 
very  easy  for  17,000  people  to  sing  to¬ 
gether,  read  together  or  responsively  in 
perfect  unison.  We  noted  the  entire  ab¬ 
sence  of  denominational  discussions  or 
flashings,  which  was  curiously  coupled 
with  intense  loyalty  to  one’s  own  church. 
We  were  also  impressed  with  the  caliber 
of  the  speakers.  Foremost  came  Dr. 
Clark,  a  wonderful  man  in  spirit  and 
in  capability.  We  heard  Secretary  Pos¬ 
ter,  President  Bashford  of  the  Ohio  Wes¬ 
leyan  University,  Dr  Russell  Con  well  of 
Philadelphia,  Gen.  O.  O.  Howard,  Chaun- 
cey  M.  Depew,  John  Wanamaker,  Presi¬ 
dent  Gates  of  Amherst,  Rev.  Joseph  Cook 
and  Wliitelaw  Reid,  and  several  prom¬ 
inent  ladies,  including  Mrs.  Dr.  Clark, 
and  many  others  of  prominence. 
Madison  Square  Garden  was  an  inter¬ 
esting  spectacle  at  night,  starred  all  over 
as  it  was  with  incandescent  lights.  Over 
the  platform  glowed  a  great  Christian 
Endeavor  badge  made  of  them.  Many 
colored  badges,  ribbons,  costumes  and 
fans,  and  the  decorations  of  the  hall  con¬ 
sisting  principally  of  flags,  made  the 
audience  a  sea  of  color.  During  the  Con¬ 
vention  the  Chautauqua  salute  greeted 
every  prominent  person  who  came  upon 
the  platform.  One  of  the  newspapers 
thus  described  the  scene  :  “  14,000  white 
handkerchiefs  fluttering  like  swiftly 
darting  white  birds.  The  whole  human 
sea  is  ruffled  Avith  an  inaudible  wind, 
Avhich  tosses  it  into  foam.  The  whole 
house  flashes  into  light  like  a  popperful 
of  corn  at  the  right  moment.” 
Before  each  session  a  great  crowd  gath¬ 
ered  in  front  of  the  entrances  Avaiting  for 
the  doors  to  be  opened.  But  instead  of 
grumbling  at  the  delay  or  jostling  about 
for  first  place,  the  time  was  spent  in  sing¬ 
ing  favorite  hymns,  and,  once  within  the 
hall,  a  strong  voice  from  some  corner, 
was  sufficient  to  send  a  Avave  of  song 
over  the  entire  assemblage,  which  would 
be  followed  by  other  hymns  originating 
in  other  quarters.  All  the  delegates  from 
one  State  Avere  expected  to  sit  together, 
in  places  assigned  them.  Several  of  the 
representative  bodies  had  rallying  songs, 
and  sang  them  in  competition  on  one  or 
two  occasions,  before  the  opening  exer¬ 
cises.  They  also  sang  in  going  out  of 
the  hall,  which  is  so  large  that  on  one  or 
two  occasions  three  different  hymns,  in 
as  many  different  parts  of  the  house, 
were  sung  at  the  same  time,  without  in¬ 
convenience. 
This  was  not  a  convention  of  boys  and 
girls,  but  of  people  in  the  prime  of  life, 
and  the  audience  Avas  sprinkled  with  not 
a  few  gray  heads.  All  Avho  wished  to 
attend  could  obtain  half-fare  tickets  on 
the  railroads  and  steamboats.  Delegates 
were  met  at  various  depots  by  a  detail  of 
the  entertainment  committee,  avIio  gave 
them  necessary  directions.  The  system 
by  Avhich  board  and  lodgings  were  as¬ 
signed  was  perfect.  The  “  Garden”  was 
provided  with  a  dining  hall,  a  bureau  of 
information,  an  office  where  the  half-fare 
tickets  could  be  signed,  and  a  post  office. 
Lodgings  Avere  also  assigned  here,  and 
there  was  also  a  stand  Avhere  the  Chris¬ 
tian  Endeavor  literature  and  souvenirs 
could  be  obtained. 
We  were  impressed  with  the  magnitude 
of  Ncav  York,  the  great  number  of  points 
of  interest  to  be  visited,  the  bustle  yet 
order  of  the  throngs  of  people  hurrying 
in  all  directions,  crowding  streets,  ferry 
boats,  elevated  and  surface  roads.  Every¬ 
body  seemed  busy,  and  nobody  was  los¬ 
ing  time,  except,  perhaps,  some  of  the 
tired  class  who  were  holding  down  seats 
in  the  smaller  parks 
The  descent  of  such  a  host  of  delegates 
upon  the  city  opened  the  eyes  of  New 
Yorkers  to  the  magnitude  of  the  organi¬ 
zation.  It  was  a  surprise  to  them.  The 
enterprising  newspapers  published  ex¬ 
tended  reports  and  numerous  illustra¬ 
tions. 
It  also  became  apparent  to  inhabitants 
of  the  Metropolis  that  Christian  En- 
deavorers,  beside  being  wide-aAvake  in  a 
religious  sense,  were  also  Avide-awake  to 
things  of  the  day.  Efforts  were  made  to 
keep  attention  entirely  upon  the  objects 
for  which  the  convention  was  called ; 
but  Avhen  the  speakers  dropped  remarks 
about  the  national  flag  or  our  common 
country,  they  were  answered  by  out¬ 
bursts  of  patriotic  enthusiasm,  showing 
Avhat  kind  of  stuff  Christian  Endeavorers 
are  made  of.  New  Yorkers  say  that 
something  has  arrived  at  last  which  has 
stirred  the  Avliole  city.  The  Avhite  celu- 
loid  souvenir  badge  which,  was  pre¬ 
sented  to  all  delegates,  was  seen  every - 
Avhere  and  nobody  Avas  afraid  to  show  it. 
I  close  my  brief  report  Avith  the  follow- 
ing  significant  Avords  from  some  of  the 
New  York  papers  :  The  Tribune  defines 
a  Christian  Endeavorer  as  “  neither  a 
fanatic  nor  a  fool,  but  an  earnest, 
enthusiastic  young-hearted  follower  of 
Christ  Avho  Avent  about  doing  good.”  The 
Sun  says : 
These  societies  (The  C.  E.)  are  founded 
upon  the  very  faith  assailed  by  the  critics 
of  the  Bible.  It  is  the  simplest,  most  un¬ 
questioning  Biblical  faith.  It  is  belief 
in  Jesus  Christ  as  the  Lord  and  Saviour, 
and  personal  devotion  to  Him  as  the 
Divine  Master  made  incarnate.  It  takes 
the  Bible  as  a  narrative  of  facts  and  as  a 
body  of  doctrine  Divinely  inspired,  true, 
and  infallible  in  its  truth.  It  is  faith  as 
absolute  as  the  faith  of  the  Middle  Ages, 
though  it  is  modified  by  Protestantism. 
It  is  real,  earnest,  sincere,  implicit.  It 
is  without  doubt  and  without  criticism. 
The  Madison  Square  Convention  is  an  as¬ 
semblage  of  momentous  significance  at 
this  period.  It  proves  that  the  ancient 
religious  faith  is  still  warm  among  the 
people,  and  that  the  assaults  of  its 
enemies  are  kindling  its  fires  anew  and 
not  quenching  them.  ”  a.  d.  Warner.

“  Mr.  Strong  gives  evidence  of  that  thorough  grasp  of 
the  subject  which  he  has  gained  from  30  years'  experi¬ 
ence  as  an  orchardist.  His  book  is  a  simple,  clear 
well-condensed  manual  of  practical  information  on 
the  fundamental  principles  involved  in  the  success¬ 
ful  cultivation  of  each  species  of  fruit.”— Boston 
Advertiser. 
“  In  no  branch  of  intelligence  has  there  heen  so 
much  advance  as  in  horticulture.  Blvery  yea  solves 
new  problems  insoluble  before,  and  with  new  ideas 
new  books  follow.  It  is  in  just  this  line  (in  the  en¬ 
deavor  to  elucidate  fundamental  principles)  that  Mr. 
Strong  believes  he  finds  an  unoccupied  Held,  and  this 
book  is  the  result.”— Thomas  Meehan,  in  Gardener’s 
Monthly. 
“  A  most  inspiring  little  book,  and  one  that  fairlv 
makes  the  mouth  water,  the  subjects  treated  are  so 
suggestive  of  flavor  and  lineness.’ ’—Philadelphia 
Ledger. 
“There  is  very  little  In  this  book  that  will  not  be 
found  applicable  to  fruit  culture  In  the  South  as  well 
as  the  North.”— Charleston  News  and  Courier. 
“The  author  has  shown  excellent  judgment  in 
giving  the  particular  information  which  small  fruit 
raisei  j  wish  to  know.” — Boston  Transcript. 
“The  directions  are  specific  enough  to  be  under¬ 
stood  by  beginners  and  wise  enough  to  be  of  profit  to 
experienced  fruit  growers  ."—Home  and  Farm  (Louis¬ 
ville).
