lngton, D. C.. July 8-13. The practical

ise to make this the greatest convention
of Christian convened in
America. Is your society planning to

your vacation in this way? Kemembei,
every Endeavorer who can attend will
be gladly welcomed. The spiritual up-
lift, and deep, abiding enthusiasm that

than repay you for the expense of
going. Pray for the Convention, that

ened In the hearts of all the young

agers, please take good notice in ad-
vance that, should any of your dele
gates be prevented from enjr /ing these
opening sessions on Wednesday night
on account of the excursion's not arti\
ing in time for "unpacking and wash-
ing up," you will very likely find your
life in Washington "a grind." Be on
time! Try to arrive Wednesday morn
ing, for, remember, the Washington
Endeavorers want to enjoy these open-
ing meetings, and many of them will
not if you are detained, for they desire
to see you warmly received at the rail
road stations and steamboat landings
and safely escorted to your "stopping-
places."

At Boston last year it was thought
best to close the tents In the afternoon.
As the entertainment committee at
Washington assures us that all the dele-
gates will be located within the city
proper, and none at a very great dis-
tance from the tents and central
churches, it has been decided to have
meetings on Sunday afternoon.
At 3.30 there will be held denomina-

a march is planned through Pennsyl-
vania Avenue to the Capitol, where
brief addresses will be made. This is
the first time anything of the kind has
ever been planned, and we believe the
Endeavorers will be glad to march up
the principal avenue of our nation's
capital, to the step ot "Onward
Christian Soldiers."

topic for the entire day. Each year the
Christian Endeavor societies are be-
coming more and more an evangelistic

who have accepted Invitations to make

bout
four thousand voices, will give a grand
patriotic vesper service upon the
"White Lot." near the While House,
it is hoped that the chorus will be as-
sisted by the celebrated Mai ine Band.
At 8 o'clock will be the opening time
for State and Provincial receptions in
the thirty-three churches u^ed as
"headquarters." These gatherings are
entireiv under the direction of the
esidents of State and Territorial
unions. Reserve Saturday night:
While the Endeavorers are enjoying
their receptions and rallies, the three
large tents will be used for meetings
for citizens, and citizens only.
In Tent Washington a unique, and
we pray a blessed, service has been
planned. It will be for men only. A
choir ot male voices will lead the sing-
ing, conducted by Peter P. Bilhorn.
There will be a brief introductory ad-
dress by Evangelist C. N. Hunt, of Min-
neapolis, after which Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman, D. D.. will speak. The
meeting is entirely under Dr. f 'nap-
man's direction. In Tents Williston and
Tent Endeavor the speakers will all
be trustees of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor. The general topic
will be, "Christian Endeavor; It3 Alms
and Possibilities." We hope these citi-
zens' meetings will be largely attended.
They are an innovation, but ones that
we believe have come to stay. Tin fol-
lowing trustees will speak in Tents
Endeavor and Williston;
