set of delegates is to serve through
both the international and the worlds
conventions. This is in accordance
with the recommendations of the inter-
national committee. Missouri. being
the entertainer, has taken the liberty
of having two separate delegations,
giving each half the time, or one con-
vention to each delega ton.
Hence the Saturday and Sunday pre-
ceding the opening Of the worlds con-
vention will be practically an interval
for recreation and prayer. 1t is here
that the woman delegate will become
conspicuous. The river excursion,
visits to the parks and places of amuse-
ment and instruction and general de-
tails connected with such matters will
be largely in their hands. Prominent
among the ladies are: Mrs. ]. Wallace
Ford. of St. Louis; Miss A. L. Clark, of
Nevada; Mrs. R. E. Hitch, of Cuba,
and Miss Cora Pacey, of Missouri.
On Monday, September 4, the first
worlds Sunday school convention ever
held in America will be opened. Super
f1uous to say, its work will be along
recognized lines of Christian educa-
ton. and, being but continuation of
what went before, a detailed account
of it is unnecessary. The last conven-
ton was held in London, Eng
land, in July. 1889. and was attended by
over four hundred delegates from the
United States and Canada alone. The
present meeting will be on far grand
err scale than the London gathering
and over two thousand delegates will
attend. The subjects of international
lessons. organizations in the church.
Christian literature and home influence
will be among those discussed Repre-
sentatives from Paris will speak in
