OF A RELIGIOUS nature
Approaching Convention Of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew.
MILL BE A LARGE GATHERING
Struggle TO Secure the Convention of
IS96-NOtcs About Local Religious
WOrk-Scrvices in the Churches
of the City Tomorrow.

The selection of the city of Louisville
as the place for holding the tenth gen
eral convention of the Brotherhood OF
st. Andrew will, from present indlca-
tons, prove to have been wise. From
the west especially large delegations
are expected, while the eastern states
are being relied upon to furnish their
usual quota. 1t is the general custom
to hold the convention in the first part
of october of each year, but this year
for some reason or other, the latter part
of September was chosen as the most
convenient time. The convention be
gins Wednesday, Sept. %. and will end
the following Sunday with farewell
meeting at 3 O'Clock in the evening.
The canvass to determine which city
is 10 have the honor of holding the
next years convention has already
commenced. The brotherhood men of
Pittsburg are planning to have the
convention of 1896 held in their city.
Buffalo, too, is in the field, and it
will not be the fault of her churchmen
il, in 1896 the brotherhood does not meet
on the shores of Lake Eric. Although
at Washington Buffalo was Obliged to
yield TO the claims Of Louisville, the
Buffalo visitors are going to louisville
full of determination, and hoping for
better fortune this year. Their invita-
tion is ready, and is backed by the
invitation of the Churchmcn's club and
the resolution of the state convention
of the brotherhood in New York. 1t is
rumored that New York city Is also
getting quietly into line, and that the
preliminary invitation for the conven-
tion of 1896, which was presented in
this city last year. will be presented
again with increased urgency. Alto
gother indications point to lively and
good-natured contest for the honor of
entertaining the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew in 1896.
