CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
Alleged Attempt to Abolish ChurchLines Through That Agency.
ENGAGING THE ATTENTION OFLEADERS
Opinions of Prominent Churchmen
Upon the Subject
THE ISSUES OUTLINED
Among the Important questions now en¬gaging the attention of the leaders of theChristian Endea\or movement and otherchurch work, not only In this city, butthroughout the United States as well, isthat relating to the alleged disposition onth9 part of wme who constitute the direct¬ing force of the Christian Endeavor so¬cieties to convert the organization from aninterdenominational to an undenomina¬tional body. It is also charged by the ad¬herents of some churches that the ten¬dency of the action referred to is to weakenthe ai'egiance of the young people to theirrespective denominations, and to make theChristian Endeavor Society the paramountsubject of their devotion.This fear has prompted the organization
of several young people's societies on astrictly denominational basis, and some ofthese societies h-tve had a very largegrowth. In the Presbyterian churches theeffort has been made to organize the youngpeople in Westminster leagues, these so-eiet.es to be maintained and conductedunder strictly Presbyterian auspices andalong Presbyterian lines. The formation ofthese !e igues has met with much greaterfavor in the southern Presbyterian churchesthan in these of the north, in fact, a prop¬osition to secure an indorsement or recom¬mendation of the Westminster leagues fromthe last northern general assembly was de¬feated by a large majority. In the south¬ern general assembly a similar propositionwas adopted.
Subject of Discussion.The whole question, both for and against
the Christian Endeavor societies, has re¬cently become a subject of widespread dis¬cussion in the papers representative ofvarious religious bodies. It is argued onthe one side that the Christian EndeavorSociety, which began as an Interdenomina-t onal movement, may end in becoming anundenominational movement, which shalldisplace the religious bodies with whichthese young people are connected.Among those in Washington who havegiven the subject serious consideration areRev. Dr. F. D. Power, pastor of the Ver¬
mont Avenue Christian Church and presi¬dent of the National Missionary Society;Mr. Cornelius Eckhardt. treasurer of theLuther League of America, and Mr MilesM. Shand, former president of the DistrictChristian Endeavor Union.Dr. Pun-era' View*.
Dr. Powers said to a Star reporter in arecent interview:"My acquaintance with Christian En¬
deavor from its begir ning has led me moreand more to legard it as a God-given andGod-ble3sed movement for the specialneeds of our time. I can bear witness totiie inereai lr g loyalty and helpfulness ofrny own local society. Instead of looseningin any 3ense the hold of the church uponthe young people, while broadening themand giving them an interdenominatoinaifellowship that has been refreshing anduseful, it has made them all the more ap¬preciative oi their own church relationsand of the principles for which the disciplesstand as a religious l«xly. Nothing in thisintercourse of young Christians with each,other has, so far as I have observed, af¬fected their church loyalty, nor is thereanything in Christian Endeavor to warrantthe fear that such will ever be the case:but If It leads God's people to know andlove each other better, to realize what acommon work ani common inheritance aretheirs, and to present a more united frontto the common enemy, Christ will be hon¬ored, and all true lovers of Christ mustrejoice."
The I.utlier I,e«KDea.Mr. Cornelius Eckhardt, treasurer of the
Luther League of America, said:"I regard the denominational organiza¬
tion of young people just as necessary andessential to the welfare of the church asthe various boards of the church, and par¬ticularly that of home missions. The futureof the Lutheran Church, and any otherchurch for that matter, is centered in theyoung people, and I fail to see how, as Isoften claimed, that interdenominationalwork can possibly make the young moreloyal to their own church. As president ofthe Luther League of St. Mark's Churchof this city. I am thoroughly convincedthat our young people have been more loy¬al, and will continue so, because of theirmembership In the above named organiza¬tion."A year's work, as compared with other
organizations of an interdenominationalcharacter, has fully demonstrated this fact,ami 1 am more than ever convinced thatthe denominational organization is the bestfor the Lutheran Church.
A Work to Do."In its present divided condition we have
a work to do in bringing our own peopletogether which cannot be done in any-other way than by the young people, andthis naturally must be through their owndenominational organizations. Since theorganization of the Luther League of Amer¬ica. at Pittsburg in October, we haveenrolled upward of (JH.oOO members, andmany of our people who were ardent sup¬porters of the Christian Endeavor move¬ment entertain the same views as were ad¬vanced by a writer in the Presbyterianjournal referred t j as having appeared inthe Literary Digest, with the exception,however, that they do not think it too late,and this is evidenced by the ever increasingm-mbership."The Lutheran Church has been one of
Christian Endeavor frsm its organization,brought about by the reformation of thesixteenth century, and will continue so tothe end of time."
Opposition Recognised.Mr. SShaSnd's views are as follows:"During the sixteen years of its existence
tl ere has always been, there Is now, andthere doubtless will continue to be, consid-siderable opposition to the Christian En¬deavor movement."Some of this opposition Is honest and
sincere, coming, as it does, from men whohave given the subject much attention,ard who really believe ttie dangers fromChristian Endeavor are many and great;some of it conies from men who have littleki owledge of Christian Endeavor princi¬ples, and it Is surprising how much igno-rarce upon ttiis subject exists; while someopposition, sad to relate, emanates fromtli.se whose attitude and criticism is, toput it mildly, captious."I have enjoyed excellent opportunities
for studying The Christian Endeavor anddtnomirational movements, and it is my(.ecided conviction that Christian Endeavor,in its principles, is as truly denominationalas any organization that exists in thechurch at the present time."Accepting its principles. Its members
pledge loyalty to their own church and totheir own denomination just as plainly andstrongly as can possibly be required In anypurely denominational society. This loyal¬ty to ->n»'s own church and denominationis constantly being urged by the leaders ofChristian Endeavor.
Loyalty to the Church."It is a shame that so often, wittingly or
unwittingly. Christian Endeavor Is spokenof as undenominational, while it stands, sostoutly, for loyalty to the particular churchand denomination to which its members be¬long. There is nothing undenominationalabout it!"One of its glories Is its interdenomina¬
tional feature, and this need not rob anychurch of Its young people, but should, onthe contrary, assist in building up a spiritof intelligent love and devotion to the de¬nomination to which the church belongs.
W here the lllame Rests."Let us place this matter of responsibility
where it belongs. I believe it belongs,to a great extent, with individual churchesand pastors. If these be true to their du¬ties and privileges, and if the young people
be wisely and efficiently led. the dangersare minimised."I have little faith that a denominational
collar or a high, close fence, with a barbedwire attachment, can keep the young peo-
« ,w*?ere they belong:. Such treatmentmight be successful in some countries andin some forms of religion, but the ideasurely does not belong to Protestant Chris¬tianity nor to America.
'I1" largest Presbyterian church in,ashington the pastor has a young peo¬
ple s class,in which are taught the doctrines?£i ^e Presbyterians. A Baptist pastor ntnis city has for several years given hisyoung people lectures weekly on Baptisthistory, doctrines, etc. This is good work,which might, perhaps, be done In manyother churches to advantage.
GxpraaM Disbelief."As to the alleged secret machinations
of the Congregationalists, I cannot speakauthoritatively, not being in confidentialrelation with this body of Christians, but 1do most decidedly disbelieve it...What a time the 580,000 Congregatlonal-
A"? *!**! Un,ted States, assisted by 871.-000 Disciples of Christ, will have in swal¬lowing o.OOO.OOO Methodists and 3,500 000Baptists, not to mention other millions' otProtestants in this country! It will haveto be done secretly, sure enough, and 1have no fear.Perhaps the denominations are not such
a great curse as they are often pictured.? *.n. ^,e main a good thing. I am astanch believer in the doctrines of my owndenomination, and, in my opinion, thechurcn of which 1 have the honor to be amember is the very best church in theworld!
Work Wisely Directed."For several years I have enjoyed excep¬
tional opportunities, perhaps, for studyingIn a practical way the Christian Endeavormovement, and I am most firmly convincedthat it has filled a large place in yiechurch, and that its work has been wiselydirected of men guided by the Holy Spirit,
Its inter-denominational feature hasbeen a great blessii g to Protestant Chris¬tianity, and may the day be far distantwhen we shall have less fellowship withChristians of all naires."
Tbe Presbyterian Problem.Rev. Dr. George H. Luccock, pastor of
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, said:I have not been able to take seriously
the suggestion that the C. E. society is indanger of becoming a wooden-horse con¬venience for furthering the crafty designsof some ecclesiastical Ulysses against ourproper denominational defenses."As to our Presbyterian problem, I do
not see any reason for changing from C.E. to Westminster League. My opinion,confirmed by so much experience as Ihave had. Is that the C. E. organizationotters as good machinery for training theyoung, presents as little hindrance andJ^rges as constant incentive to churchloyalty as any denominational adaptationof the C. E. idea. It is just as easy tocarry on a training course In doctrine andhistory in one as the other. In either casezest in the matter must come by the leader.It would never come by a name or hv ma¬chinery of organization. There is danger8nux"'ary organization.danger that
it will become principal in the eyes of Itsmembers, and the church, to which it isauxiliary, to them but secondary. But thatdanger roots in human nature and shouldneed to be overcome by persistent andkindly training, whether the auxiliarv be
., or denominational league. That in¬volves a question not between C. E. andvvestminjter League, hut whether or notany auxiliary organization is desirable.fnnni ,if J?leJUStlce to say that 1 haveKoV.V i .

"THE BELLE OF HEW YORK.".With"The Belle of New Yatk" at the LafayetteOpera House next week comes a fresh andtimely assortment of sensations. Emana¬tions from the Nfe-w Tork Casino are in¬variably original. That<there is nothing newunder the sun does, not mean that there canbe nothing new ander the calcium. Thesubstance of the Morton-Kerker-Lederer(Jivertlssemertt is a facetious play on theextremes of reform gsa-ernment and socialagitation in the metropolis. Par: of thefun exuded from Hoyt's "A Trip to China¬town" comes from the fact that the Jollyparty of adventurers never get to China¬town. But not so in "The Belle of NewYork;" for the little lady with the salva¬tion hat is, in this oase, introduced to everyvariety of "straight goods" in New York'sbreezy district. And we.that is, the audi¬ence."go" with her. Of course, GustaveKerker, the Casino resident composer, hassupplied Mr. Hugh Morton's amusing bookwith sparkling and melodious score, andthere are frequent intervals for fine solosand ensembles, and also there is a radiantballet attachment. That "The Belle ofNew York" should have held the stage ofthe Casino as long as It did is evidence ofits staying powers and the argument thatIt will be good for a generous receptionat the Lafayette Opera House is a reason¬able conclusion. The cast reads invitingly,embracing as it does such popular enter¬tainers as Dan Daly, Edna May, PhyllisRankin, William Cameron, George Schiller,George Fortescue, Marie George, WilliamSloan, La Petite Adelaide, Lionel E. Law¬rence, Babette Rodney, Paula Edwardes,and a great many others. George W. Led-erer, who staged the production of thepiece at the Casino, is coming here to di¬rect its presentations, which in every par¬ticular will be a duplicate of the originalCasino offering.THE SIGN OF THE CROSS."The Sign
of the Cross," Wilson Barrett's remarkablel eligous drama, which begins a week s en¬gagement at the New National TheaterMonday evening, is the first religious playbuilt on purely dramatic principles thathas been a success. It ran for nearly twoyears at the Lyric Theater, London, andWilson Barrett is at present on his wayacross the continent bound for Australia,where the piece is to have an extendedrun. The struggles of the Christians in thedays of Nero furnish possibilities to thedramatist that, It is said, Mr. Barrett hasrecognized and made the most of. The ex¬travagance and luxury of the time admitof magnificent scenic effects and costumosof the most costly and beautiful fabrics.These, It is said, have been provided onsuch a lavish scale that entirely aside frontthe ennobling sentiments of the play it isan exceptional production from a spectacu¬lar standpoint. The company that will beseen in this city is with a few exceptionsthe one that presented the ploy in London.Chas. Dalton, the well-known English ac-tcr, appears as Marcus and Miss IreneRooke as Mercia. In the oast are suchwell-known English players as Mr. \V. E.Bonney, J. Monkhouse. Hubert Druce, Har¬ry Burcher, Marion Grey, Bittie Wlliams,Marjorie Cavania and Agnes Scott.
EDWARD HARRIGAN. . Mr. EdwardHarrigaa's resumption of his annual tours,starring at the head of his own company,and presenting with all his old-time artistirperfection one of the exquisite studies oflife in the poorer quarters of New York,is an event that will lie welcomed by thous¬ands of theatergoers all over the country.He is to appear at the Columbia Theaternext week, opening Monday evening in oneof bis best and most successful pieces, en¬titled "THE Grip," which was first given inthe days of the famous alliance of Harri-gan and Hart. New music has been writ¬ten for It by Dave Braham, whose songshave been sung the world over. The word"grip" in the title refers not to the peculiarform of influenza which has become knownby that name, but to the handshake withwhich two soldiers sealed a compact duringthe days of the late war. The pledge isthat the infant son of one shall be marriedto the infant daughter of the other whenthe children have arrived at maturity. But.twenty-one years later, the daughter's fa- jther, a colonel, is anxious to get out of hisbargain, as he has heard a tale to the ef¬fect that his old friend, a cai>tain, who set- [tied in Texas after the war, has Income adrunkard and gambler. Therefore, when finformed that the son of the captain Isabout to visit him in New York, the colonelresolves to have himself impersonated byhis coachman, also an ex-soldier, while thecoachman's sister represents the daughter,the latter, like her father, masquerading asa servant. Tht? object of all this is to dis¬gust the wooer, who falls in love with thegenuine daughter and wins her affection;while all is made happy in the end by theappearance of the captain in a sober andprosperous condition, all this being setforth in the characteristic Harrigan man¬ner, of course, with the usual plenitude ofhomely wit. Mr. Harrigan's company in¬cludes Harry A. Fisher, George Merritt,Dave Braham, Jr., M. J. Kearney, JamesCassidy, Thomas Granger, James Kearney,Hattie Moore, Rose Braham and JessieWyatt.McSORLEY'S TWINS. "MeSorley's
Twins" comes to the Academy next week.In this lively farce of pertinent comedyhits Managers Merritt and Davis claimthat the art of the costumer, the pencil ofthe caricaturist and the humor of thelampoonist are combined in this unusuallyclever entertainment, which consumes theusually allotted time in its funny dealingswith the comic happenings of its ludicrouscharacters. The performance Is said to bea delightful mixture of witty dialogue bydroll comedians, elegant costuming, whistlymusic and maids divine. As a matier offact, it takes a first-class company to makea piece of this kind go. and the manage¬ment evidently appreciated this, for thecast is a formidable one, and several well-known favorites appear, including MarkMurphy, John T. Tiemey. Marie Stuart,Marguerite Ferguson, Horwitz and Bowers,Nat M. Wills, Gertie Mlllington, Mile. Lo-retto, Nate Jackson and other clever per¬formers. while the female contingent is suf¬ficiently attractive to be considered abovethe ordinary. The author ha.s fully sus¬tained his former reputation as a success¬ful caterer in presenting to the public "Mc-Sorley's Twins."
THE SECRET ENEMY.."The SecretEnemy." a new play, described as a ro¬mantic drama, will be the attraction at theGrand Opera House, commencing nextMonday, with matinees on Wednesday andSaturday. This play was presented in Bos-ton about six weeks ago and made an em¬phatic success, and in Philadelphia lastweek It scored the same success. The au¬thors are Elmer Grandin and Eva Mount-ford Grandin, well-known actors, and whosustain the leading roles, the former play¬ing a morbidly jealous husband, and thelatter a wife, the mystery tof whose past heis unable to fathom. Miss Eva Mountfordis said to have an unusually strong melo¬dramatic part. The plot of the play.and itIs said that there is sufficient in it for twoor three melodramas.Is laid In Paris at thepresent day. It has a murder for its basis,end the interest is in the whereabouts ofthe will of the victim: This was stolen bythe steward of the estate, and is covetedby more than one person. There Is lots ofIntrigue and denunciation, and a duel withpistols in a dingy old cellar, followed bythe shooting of the steward by gendarmesbut not before he has palmed off on- theprincipal villain a copy of the originaldocument, and has handed to his daughterthe will, proper and sufficient evidence toset all wrongs right and to "bring the guil¬ty parties to Justlee.

The olio Includes Frank Moran,tfie original monologue comedian, who willtell all about the recent New York elec¬tion and how Tammany won: the BisonCity Quartet, including Messrs. F. R.Gfrar.1, B. R. Cook. H. C. Wesa and L.L. Pike: Thomas and Quinn, the real come¬dians: Clarice Vance, composer and singerof popular "rag time" melodlos, and theMillar Sisters, singers and dancers. Theconcluding burlesque is entitled "MikeFrom Klondike." a very funny satire onthe prevailing "gold craze." giving an ex¬cellent opportunity for the display ofscenic embellishments, while the many cos¬tumes are costly and appropriate. A co¬terie of pretty girls enhance the interest.
ANTHONY HOPES READINGS..An¬thony Hope as a reader of his own storieswill be heard In Washington next Mondayafternoon at the Columbia Theater andalso in the evening of the same day at thet'niversalist Church. The author of the"Prisoner of Zenda" and "The Polly Dia¬logues" is a fascinating reader. He makesno attempt to do anything beyond reading.He does not act; he seldom, if ever, ges¬ticulates. Often he only unclasps his handsfrom behind his back for the purpose ofturning a page, yet the animated play ofthe countenance and the subtle inflectionsof the voice make the reading more effect¬ive than a dramatic recitation could possi¬bly be. Reading easily and without appar¬ent effort, Mr. Hope makes himselfh< ard in every part of an auditorium.The voice Is clear and resonant, and thereader, who has a slight English accentI'nmarred by the English drawl, is exceed¬ingly pleasing to listen to.
REV. MR. WILLIAMS' LECTURES..Rev. Richard P. Williams delivered thethird of the course o^lectures on churcnhistory at Trinity P. E.

The regular monthly meeting of theYoung Men's League of the K Street Bap¬tist Church was held Monday evening atthe residence of Mr. Harry Johnson. 19186lh street northwest. The president of theleague. Mr. A. G. Walker, being absent inPennsylvania, Mr. E. T. Fenwlck was calledto the chair.Upon call of reports of standing commit¬
tees. the literary committee, consisting ofMessrs. Wm. H. Gottlieb, E. T. Fenwlckand Harry Johnson, reported that it haddetermined upon a de»bate for the I>e<-embermeeting, the subject being "That the studyof law has done more to advance theworld's civilization than the study of physi¬cal scineces."The temperance committee, consisting of
Messrs. Edw. H. Jones. T. W. MaKJr.-go-and Harry Johnson, reported as advisablethat a Sunday afternoon mass meeting heheld in E Street Church to agitate thelicense question, and to be directly underthe control of the Younpr Men's League,but indirectly under the Anti-Saloon leagueof the District of Columbia, with which thefcrmer organization is affiliated. The com¬mittee was directed to make the necessaryarrangements.Acting und-rr a favorable report from the
temperance committer, the league decidedto consider Itself as a subcommittee of theAnti-Saloon League, to prepare for publica¬tion and distribution a directory of theron-liquor selling grocers of Washington,and to urge all temperance people to deal"exclusively with the "dry" men.The literary feature of the evening con¬
sisted of an address by Prof. Edw. B. Pol¬lard, who occupies nt Columbian Universitythe chair of biblical literature. Dr. Pollardtook as the subject of his address "TheBible," giving a concise history of the bookand its effect upon mankind.Following his address there was an In¬
formal discussion participated in by theentire membership.
