In addition to these state headquarters
in the hall, each state will have some one
of the Boston churches for rendezvous,
and as soon as the delegates arrive in Bos-

and be billeted without delay. As far as
possible, the delegates from each state will
be located in the immediate vicinity of
their church headquarters, and no assign

the state delegations will be sent into the
