The meetings are to be held in the
large government drill hall and on the
Champ de Mars adjoining, where large
tent will be erected, in which services
similar to and simultaneous with those
in the hall will be conducted. The drill
hall will seat 5000 people, and the tent is
to accommodate 5000 more. The regu-
lar sessions will begin Thursday morn
ing July 6. at 10 o'clock, though on the
previous day there will be a meeting of
the trustees at Windsor hall and large
preparatory meetings in the evening in
the different evangelical churches. Many
of the most eminent divines will take
active part in the proceedings, and cele-
brlted eyangelists, lay orators and tenn
perance workers have been assigned
places on the programme Of the four
days proceedings.
President Francis E. Clark, D. D., has
positively announced his intention to be
present. He will be home in ample
time, as he leaves Liverpool on the
Alaska on June II, after the meeting
Of the national convention Of Chris
tian Endeavor for England at Bradford,
which he will attend. DR.. Clark had a
rough time Of it in Turkey. where he
undertook to foster the work of the So
ciety, and he will probably have some
thing to say to the convention about his
experiences. The government got after
him and did everything possible to him
der his work, contiscating his books and
other literature and forbidding him to
use the name Of the society in his ad-
dresses, Many of the societies there
have been broken up, and if the Chris
tian Endeavor movement progresses in
Turkey it will be despite the efforts OF
the authorities.

The local committee has ordered q
map Of Montreal to be printed and sent
to every delegate, so that all may famil-
iarize themselves with the plan of the
city and learn something of it's peculiar
institutions and the enjoyable excursions
in the vicinity, of which Montreal has a
great many. A drive to Lachine, going
by the upper road and returning by the
lower one, is very interesting and will
give one sight Of the rapids of Sault
St. Louis and of the aqueduct that sup
