he Christian Endeavorers of the
whole land are thinking and talking
about the international convention of
the society to be held in Boston, July
1918, and to be followed by excursions
to many points of interest in and about
Boston. The historic and literary in
terest which gathers about the Hub"
the low rates of fare, the ample hospi-
tality of the Boston churches, and the
strong hold which the Endeavor idea
has taken upon the young people of
our country, make it certain that the
number will exceed that in attendance
upon any previous convention. Sew
enty thousand is the number expected,
and it is a conservative increase upon
the numbers hitherto recorded. Large
numbers are planning to go from Ohio,
and the numerous inquiries concerning
the special arrangements for the Buck
eyes have caused this article to be pre-
pared.
Each state is to be assigned to a sepa-
rate church for its headquarters. Here
its delegates are to register and to be
assigned to rooms near by. ALI dele
gates and members of the society are
to report to their state secretary, in
this state Mr.. Charles L. France, 613

of Boston, which is to care for
the Ohio delegation, the num-
ber to be provided for. Rooms are
to be secured close by, the general
price being fifty cents n day for q bed
for each person where two sleep to-
gether, and meals may be had for
twenty-five cents in restaurants close
at hand. All delegates bear their own
expenses, as ha. been the rule in all
the Christian Endeavor conventions.
The Ohio delegation is to be cared for
by the Shawmut Congregational church,
and no state will have better quarters.
The church is located on fremont
street, at the corner of West Brookline,
near to Convention hall, and with
street cars passing its doors for all
parts of the city and all points of in
terest. The large auditorium, which
seats 1,4OO people, will be reserved for
meetings, as this is one of the twenty
churches in which simultaneous meet
ings are to be held some of the meet
ings being thus arranged, and the rest
are to be in Convention hall and in two
or more great tents. The delegates at
distance will have some difficulty in
obtaining access to the halls and
churches, as has always been the case
at the conventions, the crowd overflow.
ing any reasonable provision for its ac-
commodations. All pains will be taken
to provide seats for all, but the delega-
tions so near the meetings may con.
gratulate themselves on their good for.
tune.

Bostos and means living waters.
The church which bears this name is
among the largest. 1t has the best
