At the recent Thirteith Internation
al Christian Endeavor Convention held
in Portland from July 4 to 10, inclu
sive, Edward P. Gates, of Boston,
general secretary, stated there was a
registration of 15,000 delegates. Twen
ty special trains arrived in Portland,
carrying thousands of Christian En
deavor delegates from all parts of
the United States and Canada.
Two years ago at the international
convention held at Des Moines, 12,000
Christian Endeavor delegates regis
tered. The growth of the movement
during the last two years and increas
ed enthusiasm on the part of the con
stituent groups are responsible for
the increased registration, it is re
ported.
Gifford Pinchot, governor of Penn
sylvania, who, it is reported is a mem
ber of the party of noted church dele
gates on the steamer Yukon, gave the
opening address, on “Conservation of
American Ideals.” On account of the
nation’s birthday being on July 4, the
theme of the session was “Christian
Citizenship.” The Rev. Dr. Francis
E. Clark, familiary known as “Father
Endeavor” Clark, who founded the
movement 44 years ago, in Portland,
Me., presided at the session. Dr.
Clark is on board the Yukon. He
also gave an address during the con
vention on “From Portland, Maine, in
1881, to Portland, Oregon, in 1925,”
in which he briefly reviewed the his
tory of the movement from its incep
tion to the present active member
ship of approximately 4,000,000.
Among the other speakers at the
convention were the Rev. Dr. Daniel
A. Poling, of New York, who is ac- j
companying Dr. Clark on the present
trip to Alaska; the Rev. Dr. Mark A.
Matthews, nationally known divine of
Seattle; the Rev. Dr. A. Ray Petty
and Harry Holmes, of New York; the
Rev. Dr. James Kelly of England,
president of the European Christian
Endeavor Union; the Rev. Dr. William
Hiram Foulkes of Cleveland; the Rev.
E. O. Marsden, of Alaska, the Rev.
Seizo Abe and the Rev. Seijiro Ve
mura of Foochow, China, and the Rev.
J. Christy Wilson of Persia.
Among the conference leaders were
Clarence C. Hamilton, A. J. Shartle,
and the Rev. Stanley B. Vandersall,
who with Mr. Gates share the respon
sibility for the conduct of the world
wide organization whose motto is
“For Christ and the Church.”

ent office. He attracted considerable
attention by his persistent advocacy
of a national conservation policy. He
was a close friend of Theodore Roose
velt. Gov. Pinchot is not a native of
Pennsylvania, being born in Simebury,
Conn. He attended Yale from which
college he graduated in 1889. He is
independently wealthy through coal
interests and his favorite study is
forestry. With respect to Alaska.
Gov. Pinchot disagreed with the for
mer Secretary of Interior Ballinger,
over the national conservation policy
and the controversy raged for a con
siderable period.
It is expected that some of these
distinguished visitors will take part
in the services at the Methodist
church tomorrow', in which case our
citizens wdll have an opportunity to
hear them.

POWER OF THE PRESS.
The ever-swelling tide of tourist
travel to Alaska is convincing evi
dence that the publicity the Territory
has been receiving during the last
two years, is producing results. The
lure of Alaska, with its mountains,
forests, streams, lakes, mining camps,
fisheries and historical lore, is too
strong to resist. It is a movement
which will increase with each recur
ring year. Seward extends a wel
come to the many tourists and trav
elers on board the steamer Yukon.
The steamer Starr is due to ar
rive in Seward from the Westward
