"Deepening the Kplrltu.il Life," is the
topic for the opening meetings In
twenty of the churches of Washington.
Thus at the very beginning it Is hoped
to set the standard for 'he entire Con

gram been constructed, hut to no part
of It has more thought or time been
given than to these Wednesday night

"North America for Christ" will be
the central thought for Saturday, the
exercises being held outdoors during
the day. At 0 a. m there will be a
patriotic open-air pratae service, held
at the Washington Monument. At U.30
u mnrch is planned through Pennsyl
vania Avenue to tho Capitol, where
brief addresses will be made. This Is
tho first time anything of the kind has
ever been planned, and we believe the
Endcavorers will he glad to march up
the principal avenue of our nation's
capital, to the step of "Onward
Christian Soldiers."
Suturdiiv Aflrrnnnn, .Inly II.
Tilt annual Junior rally will be held
nt L'.HO In Tent Washington. The pro
gramme is far fiom complete, but the
main feature, an exercise by the boys
and girls.ls all prepared.and the Wash
ington Juniors aro hard at work now
upon it. The exercise !s entitled "The
JiuiIoib' Love of Country," by Mrs.
James L. Hill, Salem, Mass.
At 5.30 Saturday afternoon, under
the leadership of Mr. Prcy S. Foster,
the combined choirs, numbering about
four thousand volres. will give a grand
patriotic vesper service upon the
"White Lot." near tho White House.
It is hoped that the chorus will bo as
sisted bv the eolebrated Mailne Band.
At S o'clock will be the opening time
for State and Piovlncl.il receptions in
the thirty-three eiiurc'icy used as
headquarters.' These gat lie:':. gs are
entltely under the illnctton of tho
piesldents of State and Territorial
unions. Reserve Saturday night!
While the Kndeavorers aie euijoying
thoir receptions ami mill's, tin three
largo tents will be iiod for nuotings
for citizens, anil citizens only.
In Tent Washington a unique, and
we pray a blessed, service hns been
planned. It will be for men only. A
choir of male voices will lend the sing
ing, conducted by Peter P. Bllhorn.
There will be a brief Introductory nd
tlrers by Evangelist C. N. Hunt, of Min
neapolis, after which Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman, D. 1).. will speak. The
meeting is entliely under Dr. Chap
man's direction. In Tents Willlston nnd
Tent Kndeavor the speakers will all
be trustees of the United Socletv of
Christian Kndeavor. Tho general topic
will be. "Christian Knileivor: Its Alms
ami Possibilities." We hope these citi
zens' meetings will be largely attended.
They are an innovation, hut ones that
wo believe hnvo come to stay. Tho fol

The reeulnr church services of the
morning will be attended; Sunday
schools at 9, nnd preaching services at
10.30, A committee, under tho leader
ship of Rev. Tennis S. Ilnmlin, D. D
Wishhigtcn D. C, will arrange for tho
pulpit t.upply of nil tho evangelical
churehesof Washington, both morning
ami evening, and lu the delegates' pro
gramme we hope to give a complete
and nceurato list.
At Boston last year It wns thought
best to close the tents In the alternoon.
As the entertainment 'ounnlttco at
Washington nsures us that all the dele
gates will bo located within the city
pioper, and none at u very great dis
tance from the tents end central
churches, It has been decided to havo
meetings on Sunday afternoon,
At I5.30 there will be held denomina
tional missionary meetings. Tho meet
ings will b held for one hour In the
same tents anil churches that wro
used feir denominational rallies on
Thursday. The same chairmen will
preside. We believe these meetings
will be as profitable as any of the en
tire convention, and speakers or recog
nized ability and consecration will ho
selected.
At -LI.", will be held two evangelistic
meetings In Tents Washington and Kn
deavor. Rev. B. Fay Mills will havo
chai ge or one, and the other will bo
under direction of Rev. J. Wilbur Chap
man.!). 1).
