CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR
MELBOURNE, August 8
The Christian Endeavour World Convention ended to-night. Its loaders have been inspired by Australia’s outlook on life and its possibilities as an example of a. Christian commonwealth. Doctor Stanley Jones, an Indian missionary author, said that Austrlia could become a Christian demonstration ground. Religious life, he said, was probably warmer here than in most countries of the world.
The President, Doctor ■Poling, said that this had been the greatest of their ten conventions held since 1896. It was unique in Endeavour history.
