COMING TWO THOUSAND STRONG,

The Approaching State Convention of
Christian Endeayor Delegates.
Rev. r. M. Stevenson writes as follows
concerning the coming Christian En-
deavor Convention:
1T is expected that 1000, and may be
$500, young persons will come up to Sac
ramento in the beautiful month of May
to be present at the State Convention of
Christian Endeavor. These young peo-
pie are intelligent, cultivated and refined,
as we'll as religious. Returning to all
parts of the State after the convention.
they will carry back whatever impress
slons are made upon them. We have
therefore an opportunity to send out all
over the State a favorable impression of
our city.
Courtesy. hospitality and a sincere,
cordial welcome will have everything to
do with making this favorable impress
sion. A committee of fifteen, constitut-
Ing the Entertainment Committee, have
been at work for several weeks dividing
the city into districts and putting down
IN these districts the names of persons to
be called upon and requested to entertain,
and this committee is now ready to seek
entertainment for our guests. Indeed,
some work has been already done.
The committee is expected to provide
tree entertainment for all whose travel
ing expenses are $40 or over. The good
people OF Sacramento should be willing
to entertain delegates, even if they have
to put themselves to some Inconvenience
None should refuse because they cannot
entertain deliberately, for the visitors will
care far more for fellowship than for fine
food ~
