HOW TO SECURE ENTERTAINMENT.
Do not write to Cleveland. but to your
state excursion manager. The plan has
been adopted OF giving every state u
church as headquarters. In this way
delegates from the same state will DO
kept together All delegates should
come with their excursion, rs tho
chances for desirable location will DO
better. All delegates who expect to
come with their excursion should select
room-mates, decide what accommoda.
ton they want and price.
Ono OF the most important matters
connected with tho preparations ior an
international Uhristian Endeavor con-
vention is the hall facilities. The main
auditorium, located on Scoville avenue,
is q large square wooden building coy
cred with stall. Secretary ,Baer has said
it is the best hall that has been offered
Tor convention purposes. 1t has eight
entrances and exits. Ventilation is the
best. More than 100 windows hung on
pivots will admit the salubrious lake
breezes.
The seating will DO 30 arranged that
no one will be more than l25 feet from
the speakers. 1t has d series Of small
rooms for committee meetings. One
large room will be set aside for state
bulletins; state officers, excursion man
ayers, &C., to post r~otices.
White and gold Cleveland "colors,"
with the stars and stripes, and Union
Jack, will be the chief decorations. The
building will hold 10000 people. The
second auditorium, n mammoth tent,
will also seat 10000; besides, two large
churches nearby have been secured for
overflow meetings. Fifteen OF tho
largest churches IN the city have been
secured for the Wednesday night meet
ing. Upon arriving at state head
quarters, the delegates vii! be taken

reception committee. They will regis
ter and receive their badges. 1t is i'm
perative that all delegates register
and receive their badges; only by dis
playing the badge can entrance be
gained to the halls.
TIE MUSIC.
Music is n most important part OF
Christian worship. Sacred music was a
prominent feature OF jewish worship.
The early church found help and in
SEPARATION in Christian songs. Onlydur.
ing the dark ages did the church hang
tho harp upon the willows. One great
song stands out in Jewish history-the
Dedication Anthem Of Solomon's Tenn
pie, whom thousands OF musicians and
singers blended their voices to mako
tho song tho grandest ever heard. Ii
it has ever been paraIleled or surpassed

young people ''singinG together with
grace in their hearts unto the Lord"
