if -3, ONLY EVENING ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWSPAPER IN CHARLOTTE. VOL. XXXV NO. 08 CHARLOTTE, N. C., WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUSTT2bi 1906 PRICE: 5 CENTS OPEN IE SESSION YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONVENTION HELD Majority of the 100 Delegates Ex pected have Arrived and "Were Present this Morning, at this Opening Session of the Con vention, Rev. William Duncan Elected Chairman of the Meeting. Ad dress To-day by Miss McMas ter and Rev. Wm. Duncan of this City. The opening session of the Pres byterial Convention of: the Young Feoi;e of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church was held this morning in the East Avenue Taber- racie at 10 o'clock, the hour for opening having been delayed on ac count of the late arrival cf some of the delegates. . Miss Lillian Morrison, general sec letary of the work in the A." R. P. Church, took charge of the meeting ind after a few introductory words ci greeting outlined the plans and purposes or tne- convention. She then instructed those present as to the best methods of receiving good from the sessions., and mentioned as most important the duty of being present and punctual upon all the exercises, spending much time in grayer, seeking' the best things and showing no unkind criticism toward the leaders or any of the methods of v.ork, taking careful and full notes of the most important things and words of the speakers, - regarding the meeting not as an end of itself, hut merely as a means of doing more efficient work in the home societies, rml lastly, the duty of looking to the' effectual working of the Holy Spirit. Stretched across the rostrum from which the" speakers will make their addresses is a large banner with the following words: "Seek First the Kingdom of God," containing the motto of the convention. On - the left of the rostrum is another ' ban ker upon which is inscribed the pur iose of the convention: The Evange lization of the World in This Gen eration. Miss Morrison frequently jointed out the dangers of forgetting the first inscription and instead of seeking the Kingdom of God first, the tendency would be strong to seek i-elf and personal interests first. Following the address of the gen eral secretary, it was made the order to enter into the election of officers lor the convention. Miss, .Ola Bar ron and W.'W. Boyce, Jr., of Rock Hill. Mr. J. H. Ross and Miss Rachel McMaster were named as the nomi nating committee and after a short" retirement, they suggested the fol lowing officers, who received the unanimous' vote of the -convention: President, Rev. William Duncan; vice president, Rev. J. P. Snipes; treas urer, Mr;' Rk R. 'Steele; secretary, Miss Minnie "Alexander. ' , . ; Owing to the . nature of the pro gram' which, booked President ' Dun can for an address at that hour, the vice-president, Rev. Mr." Snipes, was called to the chair-and introduced as the first sneaker Miss Rachel Mc Master, of Winnsborb", S;:C., who ad dressed the convention oh ' "Medical Missions," Miss McMaster, - said in nart: - ' kk- '" k '-',.'.' '. "Of all the '.. lives' of the Saviour that have been' written the most com plete is ' contained' in: the three words ith which his- enemies ad dressed him as he hung upon the cross. 'He saved others,' and the most complete record of his career' is found in these words! 'He went ?bout doing good.' Of the thirty-six miracles recorded it is worthy of l-ote that twenty-four were wrought lor physical relief. Jesus Christ was a medical missionary." She then gave statistics showing the great need in heathen, lands for more medical workers. "In the Unit ed States there is one physician to every 600 inhabitants. In heathen countries there is one physician to every 3,000,000 people. . Methods of treatment used in heathendom were compared with the modern methods in civilzed countries." The close of her address was. main ly to emphasize the value of medical missionaries for winning the souls ot the heathen, showing by comparison how efficacious were their endeavours tc heal the sickness of the souls. Rev. William Duncan, pastor of the First A. R. P. Church, of this city, was then introduced. His subject was: "The Missionary Uprising of the Young People."' In his exordium, Mr. Duncan dwelt especially upon the meaning of : the words 'missionary, nd 'uprising,' saying that the former transformed k the character and changed the color of every word which it modified, and the meaning of the latter signified, not a revolt nor a rebellion, but ah action. in har mony with 'Jesus Christ. . ' " The fact of the uprising was first discussed. "Some people don't know there is a great movement of ' the young -people throughout the land today. They are ignorant of the facts because they do not read . the church papers. Every man' wants his c aily paper placed at his door in -the morning and in the evening, but they haven't time to read the church weekly, which deals with the great business of his church. In 18S6 there ginated the great movement known k the Student Volunteer Movement. Under the influence of this organiza tion 9,000 young people have volun- edoir lives for tne foreign held, 3,000 of , whom have already gone to the various lands across the seas. In 1895 the great World's Stu dent Federation was launched in which thirteen' nations are represent ed, and in which there are 15,000 dis tinctive societies, with a membership of 80.000. In 1901 there was organ ized the Young People's Missionary Movement since when it has held eight conferences with an attendance of 24,000, . representing thirty differ ent denominations. The fact of the great missionary uprising of the joung people is undoubted, and un deniable. We ought to be profound ly thankful that we have lived to see its coming. Kings and wise men de sired to see what we have seen de sired to hear what we have heard, but were denied." The significance of the uprising was pointed ont. It is significant of the fact that God is movine: his church . toward the . achievement of some great enterprise! . It', is signifi cant of the fact that the church has come nearer a crisis, "has come to her Kadesh-Barnea. . Shall she go forward or turn backward. Now is her strategic moment to emphasize the- extension of the : Christian re ligion' which is destined -to conquor the world and bring--it to the feet of the Saviour. ' Shall the church take the young lives that "have placed themselves on the altar. The life or death of her spiritual -activity is de pendant upon her action in this mat ter." -' The purpose of the uprising' Was stated in the words of the banner which floated to the left of the speaker, the evangelization of the world in this generation. "It is pos sible and practicable.. It will only require the' expenditure of $30,000, 000. This is but little more than the American people spend annually for chewing gum, but one-tenth of what we spend for tobacco, and but one-hundredth the sum we spend an nually for rum. It will require but 2,000 men for a period of thirty years and before one-third" of the Twentieth Century :' is' : spent;' ' the light of thek Gospel r of Jesus Christ shall1 have been, heralded to all the world. - "' ' - '. 1 -' !- Mr. Duncan's' address' was : a strong and forceful dissertation, plain but powerful. . The session of the convention this afternoon was caUed at 3 : 30 o'clock at which time a prayer conference was held and also a conference on Christian stewardship, led by Mr. J. Campbell White, of Pittsburg, Pa. The evening session will be held at 8 o'clock when, addresses wilLbe de livered by Rev. J. S. Moffat, of Ches ter, S. C, and Miss Minnie Alexan der, of Huntersvihe, and Mrs. Alice McClure, of Punjab, India. THOUSANDS GAT TO WELCOME II Thousands of Enthusiastic Per sons from ail Parts of Union ,Qathe r- i n, .

THE CHURCH LOOSER III 0 The Confidence Reposed in Hip ple, Late President of Failed Real Estate Trust Companyrthat Institution, was Virtually Bank of Presbyterian Church, Loss to the Church Aggregates Yast.Amount. Hippie's Connec tion with Segal and Segal's Recent Spectacular Flight from Soap Maker to Millionaire, By Associated Press. Philadelphia, Pa. August 29. So great was - the confidence reposed in Frank K. Hippie, the late president of the Real Estate Trust Company, which was forced to the wall because of the secret business transactions of Hippie, that the institution was virtually the bank of the Presbyterian Church. Not only the General Assembly which was a large depositor, but even smallest Sunday-school organizations and hundreds of individuals, with abid ing faith in the integrity of the late president, had intrusted their funds and savings to the institution. J As treasurer of the trustees of the General Assembly Hippie, had control Over a million dollars" and as treasurer of the permanent committee on home i missions, and sustentation, in the syn- rian Hospital of this city, other large amounts were at his command. ' Since the failure of the Trust Com pany it has been learned that only a few months ago, the institution was under consideration as a possible de pository for the foreign missionary funds of the Presbyterian church, and by the influence of Hippie it might have eventually prevailed. The an nual contributions to foreign missions amount "to over $12,000,000. and its surplus oh hand always equals half that amount. . .An investigation into the manner of Hippie's death will probably be made. The story of suicide is gaining ground: " Real estate investments - seem to have engaged his attention and money almost "exclusively.; This is borne out through - his connections with Adolph Segal, and the . latter's enterprises, which involve from three to five mil lions. The( name of Segal is on the lips of everybody in Philadelphia. His rise from toiler over a soap cauldron in a cellar in West Philadelphia less than 20 jyears ago to the handler of millions of dollars certainly has been specta cular. Although ne has figured for years as a builder of sugar refineries, railroads, apartment houses, hand some residence and modest homes for working men, little wasr known of his personality until the newspapers were read to-day.
