> ! LIST. This convention promises to
,e one of the largest gatherings of the
| kind ever held i'm the northwest, and as
| there are three hundred delegates cX-
pected here, il behooves our people to
see that they are Hospitality entertain
ed. No doubt there will be, IN addition
to the delegates, large number of
strangers interested IN Sunday school
work, in attendance also, and accom-
modations must be provided for them
us well. The entertainment committee,
composed of Messrs. w. w. p. Neon
nell, j. w. Andrews and Geo. M. Pal
mer have thus far only secured accom-
modations for about $50 peOple-less
than one half the number who must be
provided for. Our people should APP
preciate the fact that no one feature of
a city is so commendable as the hOspit-
atty of her citizens, and we are re-
|
to entertain one or more persons dur
ing the convention to inform either
| member OF the committee. This should
he done without delay, and we believe
this appeal will meet with ready re-
| sponscs.
The work laid out for this meeting is
full of interest, and many prominen t
Sunday school workers will be present.
That our readers may he fully advised
of the work TO be accomplished, we
herewith append the programme entire.
