KANSAS NOTES.
Short Items of Interest From All
Parts Of the State.
For Christ and the Church,


The state convention of the Y. p S.
G. Z. was held in Kansas City
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
It was the most interesting and best
conducted convention ever held by the
Kansas union and probably no other
state convention in the United States
ever exceeded 1t in any respect. The
attendance was very large and more
enthusiasm was manifested by the
Young Christian workers than was
shown by the republicans at Hutchin-
son. Everything seemed to work III
harmony with the convention. Even
the weather clerk became fearful that
the young people would shower their
wrath on him and after the first night
he gave them as pleasant weather as
could be desired for the occasion. The
citizens OF Kansas City, Kan, outdid
themselves in the matter OF entertain
ing the visitors and before the conven-
lion adjourned last night resolutions
were adopted which showed clearly
that the delegates appreciated their
efforts
The delegates-740 in number by

and enthusiastic young men and
women, bound together in one vast or
ganization having for its purpose the
advancement Of the cause OF Christ
ianity. 1t was broadminded conven-
ton and its membership was not con-
fined to any particular church or de-
nomination, but to all churches and
denominations Its motto being, For
Christ and the Church. "
