The work was q special considera.
ton of ways and means in provid
ing for the state convention to be
held here on the 29.h and 3lst, of
this month. There were over two
thousand letters to attend to and
other business that kept the COM
mittee busy until very late hour
and then they left a large palt of
the work for another meeting. The
coming convention has assumed
such large proportions that it was
decided to ask the business men of
Waco to assist in getting up some
of the most important features in
the entertainment. Eight hundred
monogram Christian Endeavors
were ordered, so that every street
corner in Waco will have one. A
special letter was sent out to the
societies who have not yet re.
sponded. So far as heard from
only two societies in Texas will be
without representation.
L. was decided last night that the
session OF the convention to be held
on the night of the arrival of DR..
Clark will be either begun earlier or
cut short, so that the entire con.
vention may go in body to well
come him to Texas. All the socie.
ties along the route to Waco will
be out in full force at the train as it
passes their stations.
A large delegation will 90 from
Waco to the Waco district conven-
ton to be held at Temple on Fri.
day of this week. The Waco dele
gates will have on their badges,
son 10 Waco,' and will be walking
apvertisements of the Waco conven-
ton.
The great tent secured by the
Commercial Club for the two con.
ventions will be dedicated in most
royal way by this convention. 1t
will be treat for the citizens of
Waco to see such energy and
enthusiasm that the Endeavorers
will show; and more than one
person will realize that there is more
in Christianity than he ever dreamed
