CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.
The Ninth Annual State Convention to
Begin Tomorrow.

Begin Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the representatives of the
$50 Christian Endeavor societies in this
fate comprising what is known as the
Maine State Christian Endeavor Union,
viii gather in this city for the ninth an
NAL convention. The indications are
that the occasion will be of great inter
est. The seating capacity of the Second
Parish church, where the sessions of the
convention will be held, will be severely
tested. Overflow meetings will probably
be held at the first Baptist church, and if
necessary City Hall will be secured for
the evening sessions.
The convention opens at 2 o'clock p.
M, with an Introductory service Of
prayer. At 2.So the speeches of wei
come will be given by Rev. J. G. Merrill,

DR.. Wayland Hoyt will Iprobably add
some words. After the report of the
state officers, Miss Cora B. Bickford of
Biddeford will give some Echoes Of the
Montreal Convention" The principal
address of the afternoon will then follow
by Rev. Leroy S. Bean, on the theme,
"Past. Present and Future of Christian
Endeavor.' MI Bean is not only one Of
the most brilliant speakers in the state,
bnt is thoroughly informed on this sub
iect. SO that his remarks will be both in
spring and instructive The afternoon
closes with Inland shaking" which
means that the delegates will be given an
opportunity to get acquainted.
The evening session opens at 7.15
o'clock with praise service, led by that
.sweet singer in Israeli Rev. Frank NJ.
Lamb. Mr.. Lamb will conduct the
singing of the whole convention. He is
unsurpassed as musical director by any
in this country, and his presence alone
