Arrangements to Be Made for the
Delegates Going From savannah.
There was a grand rally Of the local
Christian Endeavor Union, and the young
people of the various churches at Wesley
Monumental church last night. Besides
the usual Christian EndeaVor service, the
meeting was held especially for the pur-
pose Of discussing the coming fourteenth
international convention of Christian En-
deavOr societies in Boston, July 10 to is.
The service began with a song, followed
by scripture reading and prayer. Next
the topic OF the evening; What Christian
EndeavOr is Doing" was taken up for dis
cussion Answers and addresses on the
topic were made by Messrs. 5. Hardy and
L. l. Wellman of the Trinity church So
ciety, Mr.. a. McAllister of the Second
Presbyterian church society, Mr.. L. l.
Carswell of the Grace church society,
and Messrs. J. 4. Stowe and +. p Folger
Of the Wesley Monumental church society
They all spoke of the united effort that
the societies were making in the work
they have in hand, and how much 1t Is
possible for them to accomplish by close
union and working together. The meet
ing was presided over by Mr.. o. Z. Pace,
president Of the local union.
One of the features was the address by
Mr.. j. A. Varnadoe, vice-president OF the
state union, who is acting as excursion
manager, for the Boston convention. He
explained how the trip could best De MADE
and urged as many as can possibly do SO
to attend the convention. Those who de-
sire to make the trip will. find II 10 their
advantage, he said, to leave their names
with him al l43 Broughton street, as he
has made special arrangements with re-
gard 10 the transportation.
The Savannah union has selected two
official routes, the Plant system and the
Ocean Steamship Company, and arrange
ments have been made for the transporta-
ton of delegates by both these lines. III
the names Of those who expect TO go as
delegates are left with Mr.. Narnadoe 1t
will insure their being met by members
of the committee several miles out OF Bos-
ton, and properly provided for. They will
be given badges and assigned to some hotel
or boarding house where arrangements
have been made for the reception of those
who will attend. There will be commit
tee of $50 from the local union of Boston
to receive and provide for the delegates.
Delegates will be given special rates at
the hotels and boarding houses, which Will
be only about half the customary rates.
All of these features were explained by
Mr.. Narnadoe. He himself will leave the
city about July ., via the rant system,
and expects to take party along at that
time. Stopover privileges are given with
the tickets, very low rates of fare have
been made, and altogether an enjoyable
trip is promised all those who attend
At the conclusion of Mr.. Narnadoe's
address with regard to the convention, Mr..
w. b. Stubs made an address on the sub
ject of Christian Endeavor, speaking es-
peciaIy of the coming convention. He
spoke Of what great bearing it would have
on the future of Christian Endeavor work,
and said it was important that Savannah
should be we'll represented.
The services were concluded with the
hymn God Be With You Till We Meet
Again." Mr. Varnadoe thinks he will have
quite a number of Christian Endeavorers
to go from Savannah. 1t is likely that
many others besides the delegates will
take advantage of the cheap rates offered
