Huron Christian Endeavor
Workers.
Annual Convention at Clinton.
0.0. DEPARTMENT,
The annual 0. E. and S. S. fiction
of Huron Gaudy for 1901 was held in
Willie Presbyterian church, Clinton, on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Jane 18th and
19th. There wee a good attendance of
delegates present the first day-- i,ut the
last day the representation ofd a S. was
maoh better. The first day was devoted
to Christian Endeavor work, oommeneing
at 8.30 a. m., with a quiet hoar session,
probably the most important of the oon-
ve0tia0, led by Rev. J. A. Anderson, of
Goderiob. Tbia abort exeroiee tended to
get the minds and hearts of all present in
a proper attitude for the session which
followed.
Rev, Dr. Gifford opened the convention
proper with devotional exeroisee.after
whittle the President 0f the C. E, Union,
W. H. Kerr, took °barge of the sessions.

faculty of making everybody feel per.
featly at home in oonneobion with any
gathering with whioh he may be aseoci.
ated and espeoialiy in connection with
young people's work of the Mauch.
The convention proper opened at 10 a.
m• The first topic was "What has been
gained in 20 years of 0. E.” This was
divided -under three heads, viz :--(a)
What the young people have gained ; b)
What the church lase gained ; (c) What
the world has gained.
A. T. Cooper, Provincial Secretary of
the Christian Endeavor movement, and
one who has probably done more for 0,
E. in the Province than any other one
person, gave a stirring address on "What
the young people bave gained.” Any
who have beard Mr. Cooper speak on 0.
E, work know that his is not mere lip-
eerviee but that his whole heart is in this
great work among the young people of
the different orgamzabione,
A paper prepared by R. Holmes, M.
P„ and read by Miss M. Washington on
"What the world has gained" was good
and was followed by a very warm die.
cession.
Owing to the absence of Rev. P. H.
Larkin his part of the topic, "What the
church has gained" was allele up in open
convention.
Following the above eubjeet and die-
oaseed by four active workers from dif-
ferent elections of the Union, the subject
"Whitt is essential in 0. ]s., and why 7"
was presented in a most excellent man-
ner and was taken up in four heads
(a) The element of obligation, by Wee 0.
Moffatt, Blyth ; (b) The power of testi•
many, by W. H. Harvey, Exeter ; (o)
The joy of service, by Miss Mutoh,
Gorda ; (d) The spirit of ooneeoration,
Mrs. N. AL Riobardson, Brussels. A11
the papers read were full of fiest.alase
suggestion and if the delegatee are only
socoeeeful enough in presenting a few of
the good things contained in them to
their respective sooietiee much good will
undoubtedly result therefrom.
The above papers were followed by an
open meeting in which a great many
good points were thrown into the discus.
Edon on the essentials in 0. E, work.
The following as nominating commit.
tee were appointed by the President witb
ioetrnotiona to meet at 1.30 for nominal.
log the officers for the ensuing year :—
Messrs. Turner, Cooper, Harvey, Kerr,
and Miese° King, Washington and Mutob.
The afternoon session opened at 2
o'elook with Rev. Mr. Stewart 1n charge
of the devotionalexeroises and was large.
ly attended.
The Seoretary's report showed a splen-
did state of affairs existing in oonneotion
with the County Union. The Huron
County C. E. Union ranks amongst the
foremost of the Province in number end
concentrated effort. There ars now 95
societies with a membership of 3,851 of
wbom 2,415 are active workers ; $1,259.03'
has been contributed toward the Denomi-
national Missionary boards and the For-
ward movements. There are 13 Junior
Sooietiee end two intermediate all re-
ported doing excellent service. The
Treasurer's report was submitted show-
ing the total reoeipte amounting to 1135.22
whioh was paid ootin current accounts,
leaving a debit balance of $7,81 advauoed
by A. T. Cooper. A strong appeal was
made for a liberal collection 10 order that
the deficit might be wiped off.
The exeroise wbioll followed the read-
ing of the Secretary's and Treasurer's
reports was a most interesting character,
it being in the nature of an Open Parlia-
ment. Printed slips were banded around
containing fifteen questions on Endeavor
w ork. These questions were tbreehed
out in a Moet animated manner, .
This was followed by a eonl-shirring
address by Rev. 0. K. Bradshaw, late of
Grand Forks, B. 0., DOW of Hamilton.
Mr. Bradehsw's address was just the
right thing for the occasion, his subject
being "Moral Courage." Probably the
greatest need of the Christian Endeavor
movement today is moral courage in
every.dav life,
