CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR

The Alexandra Palace and Park have been put to quite a new use this week, having een deserted for some months since the collapse of the last effort to carry on the Palace as a place of entertain ment. By night it has housed or tented some hundreds of delegates, and by day many thousands of delegates, to the Christian Endeavour World's Convention. From the United States alone some two thousand have come; and altogether the attendance has reached something like fifty thousand. The movement is unsectarian and aims at social amelioration as well as religious improvement. Addresses have been delivered and discussions have taken place on all sorts of suhjects" connected with Christianity and critics; and altogether the Christian en deavourists have spent an edifying and it the same time no doubt enjoyable week, in spite of the intense heat.
