1t has been thought prudent to change
the former announcements OF the Y. P.
G. U. State Convention. The business
meeting will begin promptly at 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon. September 26. The
State Convention Secretary has in
formed me that the business of that
Convention will certainly end Thursday
forenoon. In that event it is we'll for
the Y. P. G. U. Convention to organize
Immediately after it's close. The BUSH
ness sessions of the Y. P. G. U. however
will continue over on Friday as first an
nounced. There will be program and
address for Thursday evening. A con-
ference meeting at $50 Friday morning
and the Convention will close with
meeting on Friday evening.
All Unions are entitled to four dele
gates each and the Ryder Divinity
school to the same number. 1t is hoped
that this will be the largest State Con-
vention the young people have yet held
in Illinois, and that our work may re-
ceive inspiration from large numbers of
delegates and visitors.

Pope was employed as district missionary
for six counties in the central Western
part of the State where we had no or
CARNATIONS. He was hired for S25 a
month, for one year, commencing last
January. This was to be in addition to
what his congregations might be able to
pay him. And while he has not succeed
ed as we'll as we had hoped for. yet we
believe good seed has been sown on good
ground, that we trust will be harvested
in due season.
