The State convention to be heldin Mil
ford, October 25th and 2Gth, is the topic
that is engaging the attention of Della
ware Endeayorers at the present time,
These conventions are sources of great
power and ought TO be attended by
every one who can possibly go. This is
the ilrst time the convention has been
held outside of Wilmington and it will
be necessary for the city to send large
delegation. Arrangements have been
made with the Delaware Railroad Com
panY as follows: 1t 200 persons go from
Wilmington and vicinity it will provide
a special train both ways. leaving Will
mington some time between / and 2
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, October
25th, and, returning, leaving Milford
Friday evening after the closing session
of the convention. The fare on the
special will be s2.18 round trip Ii we
cannot have 200 delegates, those who
do go will have to go by the regular
trains, which are not convenient, as one
would have to leave before noon on
Thursday to be in time for the opening
reception and lose the last session Of the
convention or stay until some time Sat.
urday morning. AS the closing meeting
on Friday promises to be the best, no
one will want to miss it. The fare on
regular trains is $500 1t will be nee
essary to know just how many arc CO.
ing and Mr.. Whitney, who is transport
tation agent, would like to have by next
Wednesday the names of all who are
going. There are twenty local societies
and there should be no question at all
about getting 200 delegates. Make the
fifth State convention the best ever
held, in point of numbers, at least. Let
the corresponding secretary of each
local society send to Mr. Whitney the
names of all from his society who are
going.
The society of Second Baptist Church,
though one OF the younger societies, is
very active. At present 1t is much en-
gagged with lecture to be given by its
pastor,the Rev. 5. B. Meeser, next Thurs.
day. The subject is Evolution, Leve-
luton and Devilution." The lecture,
beside being entertaining in itself, is
given for the benefit of the Sunday
Breakfast Association, work dear to
the hearts Of Wilmington Endeavorers.
The association is needing help and
here is good opportunity for giving it
and enjoying ones self at the same time.
Besides the lecture there will be some
fine music. The lecture will be given
in Second Baptist Church, Ninth and
Franklin streets.
AT Montreal it was announced that
the international convention of '95
would be held in San Francisco. For
about six months considerable anxiety
has been felt over the matter, as the
railroads were unwilling to grant sufli-
cient reductions in rates. After many
conferences with the railroad officials,
the trustees have been compelled to give
up san Francisco and have announced
that the convention will be held in Bos.
ton. So, now, instead of California '05
it is Boston 90.
