THE MORNING OREGGNTANj SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1901. OF ENDEAVORERS it .1 thh.be HfTBRESTEiG WERE HELD. SESSIONS Committees 5amed and Reports Sub-f- inltted Jmmber of Instructive J -. Addresses. i iSAIEif, Or, May 17. The second day's session of the Oregon Christian En deavor Union opened at 9 o'clock this morning with the main auditorium of the Baptist Church comfortably filled. Rev. Gi T, Hard being- absent, the devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. H. X. Pratt, -at Portland. During: the opening: exercises the doors or tne cuurcir wc locked, so that there -was no interrup tion from tardy visitors. The adoption of tliis plan meets with general approbation. The executive committee met and named the following- committees, which were announced by President A. J. Montgomery- , Resolutions W. "W. Gordon, Shedds; Miss Dora Colton, Ashland; Rev. A. A. "STinter, Dallas. "Finance B. I. Stowell, Portland;G, H. Pickett, Salem; Clyde Brock, Salem. dominating Rev. J. M. Dick, Hubbard; D. M. JdcGraw, Portland; "W. T. Jenks, Salem. - 3Jhe executive committee received invi tations from the Ashland and Portland local unions for the holding of the state convention in 1902. The question of the pjace of holding the next convention will probably be disposed of tomorrow. Convention Addresses. Rev. Henry Marcotte, of Astoria; was announced as the first speaker. His sub ject was, "Doing the Thing That Lies Nearest." Mr. Marcotte laid down the general principle that every honest man must work for what he gets, and that -the question, "What shall we do?" Is answered by the topic announced. When Sour work bas been found, it should be performed in the best manner possible, and to accomplish this we should have high. Ideals. Our work should not be done for our honor and glory, but so that at the end we may say that we have done the best we could. We .may say this Is the best convention we ever held. What of it? Are we going to do our work any better for it? What matters it if we have a lowly place to fill; let us fill it in a manner pleasing to our Lord and Mas ter. Rev. J. H. Beavlns, of McMinnvIlle, was . the next speaker, his subject being, "Christ Calls Us to Serve Him." After stating various views or me,ne saia: "I love this world because I can serve, Christ, because there is a work he has called me to do. Creed amounts to noth ing unless it is lived up to. Mere church work is not Christianity. To be a. Chris tian is to serve. An unconverted man once said: 'Church and Churchlanity I have no use for, but Christians and Chris tianity I admire. " Rev W. H. G. Temple, of Seattle, spoke on "The Spirit of Service." His defini tion of Christianity was truth In service, and truth he described as being as infinite as Christ himself, who said he was the embodiment of truth. The speaker said that the various denominations ex hibit only phases of truth, and all of them together can not exhaust it. Me chanical Christianity means nothing. Ex ecution without inspiration is useless ef fort. He analyzed the spirit of service, making: its component parts love, humil ity, sincerity and the Christ spirit. He said there is nothing more impressive in the whole history of the Saviour than the fact that in both service and sacri fice he became in the highest sense a ser vant -of men. The grandest thing that can be said of you is that you are like I the Master. Afternoon-Session. The devotional services In the after noon were conducted by Rev. G.-TV. !Fen- SerMlss 3efetedt2nplaying the or- gaflffKtnd- jona-jcecnter, jr.,, leaums me sfng. ! ' J" ' Mrs. Ella D. Rice, of Ashland, read a very, Interesting paper on the work of "The Xiookout Committee." Mils C A. Holbrook was on the pro gramme for a paper on "The Social to Save Rev. W. H. G. Temple, of Se attle, was called upon to discuss the sub ject of socials in church work. Mr. Temple said that he was in his early work as a pastor oppose dto the Idea of socials, fairs and secular concerts in churches, but his experience had been' that such use of the church is exceeding ly .helpful in bringing into the church those who are not otherwise reached. He does not believe in a social at which an admission lee Is charged, at which con siderable money Is spent, at which there Is a long programme, or at which the church members gather In cliques to the exclusion of strangers. He believes in socials where there is sociability, smiling, happy conversation and handshaking. He contrasted a wealthy metropolitan church with Its pulpit costing thousands of dollars, its choir paid 5100 a week, its pastor pay 510,000 a year, with the church that has barely the means with which to pay necessary expenses. The .former he handled with cutting irony, and paid an eloquent tribute to the latter. Miss Julia Hatch, of Laos, Slam, gave an interesting and instructive description of missionary life and work in Laos Prov ince, and H. W. Stone, of the Portland T. M. C A., delivered an address on "Temperance." Following these, President A. J. Mont gomery delivered his annual address. He said that -the Christian Endeavor move ment is now over 20 years old and we have passed the period of enthusiasm. Wo must now get down to liard work and build with reference to the future. The rieed of some sort of Christian training is everywhere felt It is not settled yet what is the best method, and it is very likely that that method is best which will most easily work In the local socie ties. The speaker strongly urged the ne cessity of a good training course for en deavor workers. The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer were then presented. The annual report of Secretary Martha Case, of Portland, shows that last year there were in the State Christian En deavor Union S31 societies, 261 of which were Young People's Societies of Chris iton Endeavor, and 70 Junior societies. This year there are 301 societies, of which 23S are seniors and 63 Juniors. This shows a loss of 30 In the number of societies. There were 52 societies lost from the rolls, and 22 added. leaving the net loss 30. There are 9030 endeavorers In the state, divided among the different deoomlna Iions In this proportion: Presbyterian, 82 per cent; Christian, 23; Union, 17; Con gregational, 13: United Brethren, 5; United Evangelical. 4; Friends, 4; Baptist, 2. The Methodist Church has an Epworth League, so has no representation In the Endeavor Union. With two exceptions the Baptist churches have Baptist unions, hence their low percentage In the En deavor Union. The report, of Treasurer W. D. Scott, of Portland, shows a balance of ?81 82 in the -treasury of the State Union. ,. Reports of department Superintendents were road as follows: Junior work, Mrs. T. M. Gault, Oregon City; Temperance and Christianity, Rev. HjCL. Pratt, Portland; Floating Endeavor, Ms. Howey Bailey, Portland; Good Liter ature, Rev. G. E Henderson, Oakville. The afternoon session closed with a prayer meeting, the subject being, "Our Irjsources of Prayer." Evcnlnj; Session. ftA.t' the evening session after the de v.otlonal services, the Presbyterian ladles' quartet rendered special music, and Mrs. Myra Wiggins sang a solo. Rev. A. W. Xckerman. of Portland, delivered the ad dress of the evening, taking as his sub ject, ''Character as a Source of Power." Hefsald that this life is for the building of character, for the building of manhood. The failure of God's people as recorded in sacred history were due to their lack of appreciation of the value of character.- Character Is most concisely defined in the V dlstinctiop, "Character is what you are; J reputation Is what people think you are." Character is a growth a slow growth, a result of striving for the high things of life. The executive committee, which .has charge of the present convention is com posed of the following persons: President, Rev. A. J. Montgomery, Oregon City; vice-president. Rev. P. D. Powell, Salem; C.

GERMANY BUYING WHEAT MAGDALENE'S MAMMOTH CARGO GOES TO HAMBURG DIRECT. Two Bis; German Shins Chartered for New Crop Loading Hambars American Lines Bis Project. The German bark Magdalene cleared yesterday for Hamburg direct with one of the largest sailing ship cargoes of the season. She carries 161,156 bushesl of wheat valued at 496.693. The Magdalene was dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and "received her big cargo In the remarkably fast time ,of 25 hours. This Is the third cargo the Magdalene has loaded at Portland, and she received the best dispatch and the largest cargo this time. She loaded here first In July, 1S98 and was then known as the British bark Trade Winds. She carried 160,316 bushels of wheat, valued at $112,000. She next loaded here In January, 1900. under her present name and flag, and with a mixed cargo of wheat and barley, carried the equivalent of 160,260. bushels of wheat. The departure of the Magdalene for Hamburg would seem confirmatory of the reports that have already been received regarding damage to the German crops. This is the first cargo to clear from Portland for Hamburg in many years, al though a number of Oregon cargoes are ordered to that port to discharge after arriving out at Queenstown or Falmouth. The Magdalene brings the Portland grain fleet for the season to date up to a total of 121 ships, 74 of which carried car goes in excess of 100,000 -"bushels. Seven of them carried cargoes In excess of 150, 000 bushels, and one, j the Dutch steamer Wllhelmlna, carried Z14,0QO .busnels 01 wheat 1 TO CIRCLE THE GLOBE.

To'pekp. & Santa.Fe Railroad. "Our company owns today 127 ocean steamers. It Is the. largest steamship company In the world. With the acqui sition of the railroad to transport our freight and passengers" across the conti nent, our line will practically encircle the globe, and we will control lpng-dlstance shipments. We shall be able to trans port direct from Hamburg to Hong Kong over our own lines. We shall be able to carry European products to Oriental mar kets much cheaper than the present meth od of transportation. Also the Asiatic market will be able to get Its products to Europe much cheaper than It has been able to." Emll L. Boas, general manager of the Hamburg-American line,- being Inter viewed, said: "By the purchase of the Atlas steam ships, the Hamburg-American line did not obtain any concession on the Isthmus or'ln any part of Central America. It is riot the Intention of 'this company to cause the least embarrassment to the Nicaragua Canal Company. We shall make no attempt -to establish trade com munication by the route 'mentioned with Pacific ports." . ' CHICAGO, May 17.

' - BIG GERMAN SHIPS COMING. Two Immense Carriers Chartered to Load at Portland Next Season. There are few if any sailing ships afloat that are. too big for the Columbia River, and Portland exporters have each year been chartering vessel's a little larger than those of the preceding year. At the present time there Is listed for this port two of the largest German sailing ships In tn- -nrnrlH. On of these, the Hen- -rlette, loaded In this port two years ago, wnen sne, was unuer uie ouusu im& and bore the name, Royal Forth. She carried out of Portland over 5100 tons of wheat without lightering a pound. The newcomer .which has' the distinction of being the largest sailing, vessel on the list, and a few tons arger" than any that have ever loaded here, la the German ship Alster, 'of 2932 -ons' net register. The Alster Is one -of the" finest ships afloat, and was built' in 1S90- for the White Star line, before It had entirely abandoned sailers for steamers 'in thefreight trades. She was then knovh as1 the California, but was .sold the Germans aar few, years ago and . given Tier .present vrtame. The -Alster is now en route from Hamburg ;for Santa Rosalia, apd, after -discharging at the Mexican port, will cpme north In ballast. -The 'Alster 1 owned, by the same firm as the Alstersch,wan, now loading In port, and the Alsterufer and .Alsterkamp, which have loaded h'ere earlier in the season.

ROYAL Bicycles WITH THEIR... BUDGET FROM ALASKA HYDROPHOBIA AMONG DOGS AT DAWSON. Yukon River is Nearly Open Small pox Con-fined to Indians. SEATTLE, May 17. The steamer City of Seattle arrived this morning from Skagway and other ports in Southeastern Alaska with a large number of pas sengers. Among them wa3 Captain J. B. Llbby, manager of the Puget Sound Tug boat Company, who came from Dawson. He left April 29, went up the river to Selkirk In a boat, and then took the trail to White Horse and the railroad, ft has been a bad W.Inter in Dawson for dogs and a very good one for gold. Captain Llbby said In an Interview: "A large proportion .of the dogs, in cluding some of the most valuable ones, have been killed. The police did the work a short time before I left. The animals were afflicted by a sort of hy drophobia and a number of persons were seriously bitten before 1 was decided to minimize the danger by shooting all dogs found at large. "Sluclng had begun In the creeks", but operations were not very extensive. They are now probably In full swing, as there was a thaw on -when I came up the river. The output of gold Is going to be Im mense. It Is thought by people in a posi tion to know that the total production of gold will be at least one-fifth larger than last year, or about $30,000,000, and there Is no reason In sight why It should be any less next year. Dawson Is quiet in general, though the hydrophobia caused a little flurry for a while. There has been plenty of food all Winter." A telegram dated May 12. from G. C. Mellott, the company's agent at White Horse, was received this morning- by Manager Hawkins, of the White Pass & Yukon Railway, to the effect that the river Is rapidly breaking up, as follows: "The river Is now open to the head of Lake Lebarge. From the foot of Lebarge the river Is open to Little Sal mon. In fact, the Yukon Is open at every point where branch streams empty In. The Ice is getting very soft, and in dications are that the river will be open to Dawson in a "very few days." Captain Connell and Purser Harris, of the City of Seattle, confirm other re ports that there is no smallpox In South eastern Alaska except at Sitka and pos sibly a few case3 at Hoonah, on Chatham Straits, and these cases are among the Indians.
