not that of Americanism, but rather the
general principle of patriotism as ap-
Piled to all nations. This is an inter
national convention, ana therefore the
local application would scarcely be
| brOoked.
On Monday afternoon the delegates will
go on pllgrimages to places Of historical
interest in Boston and vicinity, such, for
instance, as Bunker HILL Faneuil Hall,
Washington Elm, etc. At each of these
places one or more historical addresses
will be made. On Tuesday and Wednes-
day following the close of the convention,
special excursions will be made to Lex
lngton, Concord, Salem, Plymouth and
to Portland, where the first Christian
Endeavor Society was formed, and other
interesting localities. Another one of the
features of the convention will be the
fellowship meeting on Friday night,
When Christian Endeavor in all its forms,
and in all lands will be heard from.
There are only six countries on the globe
in which Christian Endeavor societies
do not exist. So far as possible all these
regions will be represented on Friday
nIght. The movement now numbers 40,
OO0 societies and 2, 400, 600 members The
missionary cause will occupy the atten-
tion of the delegates on Monday, when
missionary leaders from the foreign field
and from America will deliver addresses
ana co conduct open parliaments; In tent
Winston. speeches will be by college
presidents, and the general topic will be
The Scholarship of the World for
Christ. One other of the meetings will
be addressed by three of the greatest
student leaders of America, Mr.. Robert
~ Speer, Mr.. John r. Mott, and Mr..
William 6. Puddefoot. The Christian
something entirely new in the history OF
religious conventions during their stay
IN Boston. They will assemble at the
close OF the morning session and dividing
themselves into groups of twenty or there
about, and, so far as possible, by state
lines, will go forth to hold typical Chris
tian Endeavor services in scores OF the
stores, shops, factories, halls, and car
stations of Boston. These meetings will
last for about half hour, and will be
representative of the usual meetings of
Christian Endeavor societies, although
with an especial gospel tendency. The
people of Boston who cannot get to the
conyention-and there will be very few
who can as admission will be by badge
will thus have the convention brought to
them, in measure. 1t will be curious
to note the effect of this innovation upon
the city. The list of speakers who are to
address the convention at its various
meetings is far too long for reproduction.
