THE WORLD FOR CHRIST!
-Echoes from the Student's Volunteer Convention at Detroit.
It was ani enthusiastic company of
fourteen students who boarded the
• train at Albion for .Detroit, on the afternoon of February 28th, to attend
the Students' Volunteer Convention
which was held in that city. We
reached Detroit at 5:30 p. m. and were
sent to the T, M. C. A. rooms to receive .our assignment for entertainment.
The officials of theYolunteer movement had -promised one thousand dele-
gatess hut the local committee thought
they were too enthusiastic and had
planned for the entertainment of
about eight hundred, but the delegates, missionaries, secretaries and
representatives of the Y. M. G. A. and
other societies, came pouring in until
__, the * grand aggregate reached one
^thousand five hundred. The local
Jcbmmitteewas almost speechless for
they did not know what to do with
this vast multitude, but Detroit has a
loyal. Christian people, and they were
equal to the emergency and all were
comfortably cared for.
The Central M. E. church had been
kindly-tendered by the pastor, and
trustees for the use of the convention
Its seating capacity is about one thousand four hundred, but such was the
- eagerness to hear the distinguished
speakers, that every aisle, passage
way, nook and cranny was occupied,
. until nearly $wo thousand persons
were crowded into the church. It was
found necessary to admit delegates by
ticket, and hold back the general public until the members were seated.
"It would be impossible for me to
mention each speaker separately, but
my heart was especially stirred when
Dr. Harper, the oldest living missionary, who has spent forty-seven years
of his life in China, stepped forward,
' an old man with silvery, white hair,
but in a gentle tone he addressed the
delegates, saying: "I would simply
tell you to write on the tablets of your
hearts these words: 'Go ye into all
the world and preach the Gospel;' and
treasure the promise, 'Lo, I am with
you alwa-y.'5' These words have sustained him during all these years of
service.
As I listened to the thrilling words
of J. Hudson Taylor, the -'Veteran
A-vpostle" ofthe China-Ireland mission,
t^whose service of 40 years in the work
-was completed this month, and to Miss
Guinness, ''The Consecrated Historian"
of the movement, who has-spent six
years, in China, my soul seemed lifted
nearer heaven, and my heart gladly
echoed the words of Dr. Taylor when
he said: "There is nothing too precious for Jesus."
The thing, which.impressed and encouraged us all was that this convention was the largest and most representative student gathering that has
. ever been held in the world. IP our
times as many medical schools were
represented as on any previous oeca-
.sioh and more colleges by seventy. It
is. a most significant thing that the
foreign missionary idea has rallied
more stu'dents in this convention than
any other idea. We had represented
i there, practically, every foreign mis-
', .sionary agency on this continent
-^scores of missionaries representing
every par _'pf the field, including some
of the most distinguished missionaries
of the woitid.   As a result of the Vol-
• unteer movemeut there are now 686
volunteers on the foreign field.
There-were 13517 .persons in attendance upon the convention, representing" 38 denominations. *****
/I willflotburden you with statistics,
Put will ;try to give you a vfew of the
laany interesting items from the closing meeting., It was held Sunday
•evening'at the Central M.   E.  church
' and was truly an inspiring service.
There were about twenty speakers and
.each spoke cheering, ringing words of
the significance of the Volunteer
movement. A delightful spirit of
Christlah Unity prevailed and it was
remarked- that it seemed as if all the
. denominational fences .were down and
the sheep were all mixed up. Truly
the convention went a. long way toward . realizing "One fold and one
Shepherd." As we looked into the sea
of bright, intelligent faces, which were
but the indexes of hearts as pure, we
could not but thank God for the work
of the Holy Spirit in giving so many a
. -willingness to. carry the glad tidings
to the uttermost parts o£ the earth.
Owing to the lack of funds necessary
to carry! on the work of the Volunteer
movement. President Mott called for
a free-vsill offering and in thirty minutes over $3200 had been pledged.' All
hut about twelve sub_criptions were in
\
sums of $10 or less. At this juncture
a cable-gram was read from Wilder
and White in India, saying: "India
needs a thousand spirit-filled volunteers." President Mott made a cadi
for volunteers, present, who intended
to enter the foreign field during the
coming year. I_ow came the most
soul-thrilling part ofthe closing scene.
That vast army of volunteers stood
face to face with duty and their own
inclinations and realized that God was
calling through the voice of His servant, and one hundred brave hearts
responded. Many gave their reasons
for desiring to go to particular fields;
yet all seemed desirious to go where
they felt they could do most for God
and fallen humanity.
China's weary workers will be
cheered, next year, by thirty other
consecrated souls, Africa by seven,
Alaska by two, Corea, Mexico, Bogota,
Turkey, Japan, Siam, Laos and Jamaica, each by one.. . Many had not yet
determined their field of labor. President Mott then requested all who had
made the decision to become foreign
missionaries since coming to the convention, to rise, and thirty-eight, or
more, responded by standing, while all
with bowed heads thanked God for
these willing laborers.
The sweet voice of Miss Guinness of
China asked that God's blessing might
descend on those who had offered
themselves for service in foreign lands.
Truly all hearts were lifted nearer
to the Infinite One as the presence
and fullness of the Holy Spirit seemed
to rest on that mighty ^congregation
and we felt that the great significance
of this convention had been to deepen
our love for suffering, godless humanity at home and abroad; to knit our
hearts more closely together in bonds
of Christian sympathy; to break down
denominational walks; to bring the
volunteer and missionary movements
into greater prominence, for surely
movements which thus honor the Holy*
Spirit dan not but succeed.
A hush fell on the vast assemblage
as Dr. A. T. Pierson pronounced the
benediction and in a moment the convention was brought to a close, bpt its
influence lives on and the wopfld,
through the blessing of God, will be
the better because of the Student's
Volunteer Convention. Let our motto still be, "The Evangelization ofthe
World in this Generation."

Charles Hollenquest of Harrison shot by
"Heavy" Parker.
Special to the Sentiuel.
Harrison, April 12, 1894—A shooting affair took place at W. H. Wilson
& Son's camp nine miles north west of
here which may result in the death of
Charles Hollenquest who is foreman
in the woods for Wilson & Son. It appears that a man known as "Heavy"
Parker who was working in the camp
was in the blacksmith shop when Hollenquest came iu and ordered him out.
Parker who is known as a tough man,
made some unpleasant remarks which
lead to words and resulted in Hollenquest chasing Parker out of the shop
and down the road with a knife. This
happened Tuesday, April 10. The next
morning while Parker was getting his
time, the quarrell was renewed and a
scuffle followed. It is reported that
Hollenquest grabbed Parker by the
throat and pushed a revolver in his
face, in the meantime Parker drew his
revolver and shot Hollenquest in the
face. Hollenquest then turned to get
a shot gun hanging near by, when
Parker fired twice more, hitting his
man once in the back and the other
shot took effect in his arm.. Hollenquest was brought to town on a lumber wagon and had his wounds dressed
by Dr. Witherspoon and then was removed to his boarding house where he
now lies in a critical condition.
Parker walked to town and gave
himself up at once. He was taken before Justice Bogue today and his bail,
fixed at $1,000. The examination will
take place, next .week. The affair created considerable excitement here.

wbuld humbly suggest that ii. would
be. a trifle more courteous to give the
ctlstomary! credit.
