Arrangements Made for the Approach
ing Convention at Boston.
1T WILL BE A MONSTER AFFAIR
D. Fay Mills Has Decided to Return to
tho Evangclistic FieId-Figurcs on
Presbyterian Mcmbership-About
the Various Denominations.

The great numbers of young people
who attend the national conventions of
Christian Endeavor is astounding. But
the great size and wonderful nature of
the convention to be held in Boston July
10 will be better understood from the
fact that there will be no less than $50
meetings, and more than 1000 addresses
will be delivered. Only a small portion
of these will be in Mechanics hall and
in the mammoth tents on Boston COM
mon. The committee conferences. sun
rise prayer meetings, state and de-
nominational rallies will bring up the
numbers.
Few meetings that have been held
contained more missionary significance
than will the Monday morning sessions
of the Boston convention. 1.-The World
for Christ" is the general theme and
in Tent Williston 1.-THE Scholarship of
the World for Christ" will be consid-
cred. Here most of the speakers will
be college presidents, Student leaders
will be the principal speakers in Tent
Endeavor, and this meeting will close
with n missionary resolution service.
'What More VIII You Do? What More
Will You Give?"
Points for Delegates.
The question of homes and food for
10000 people has been satisfactorily
solved blythe entertainment committee,
which has already provided accommo-
dations for whatever number of dele
gates may come. Rooms and board are
to be secured separately. The former
will cost from 70 cents to Sl.50 per day
in hotels, and 5O'to 70 cents per day in
private homes. Meals may be obtained
for whatever one cares to pay. Ar
rangements for entertainment are to be
made only by writing to the state trans
portation matlager. No accommoda-
tions will be designed until Boston is
reached.
"True-hearted, whole-hearted. faith
full and loyal" sing the Christian En-
deavorers and then, they prove the sim
cerity of their words by holding de-
nominational rallies that are among
the most enthusiastic sessions of the
convention. At Boston, Thursday
afternoon will be given over wholly to
these meetings of the UNCONVENTIONAL
clans.
Returns TO Evangelistic Field.
The friends of B. Fay Mills who were
disappointed when he gave up evanGe-
1istic work over a year ago to accept a
regular ministerial charge will rejoice
to know that he IS again in the field
Mr. Mills retires from the pastorate of
one year of the Fourth Presbyterian
church, Albany, that church having en-
joyed year of remarkable prosperity
under his ministrations. \ continued
revival has been in progress during the
year, great multitude have been gath
cred into the congregation, and about
200 added to the membership of the
church.
Mr.. Mills now returns, according to
his intention when he took charge of
the Albany church, to the evangelistic
field, to give himself wholly to its re-
peated calls. He is to fulfill engage
ments in the autumn in Columbus, o.,
and in Louisville, Ky. Many in all parts
of the land will rejoice that Mr.. Mills

signally qualified, and in which his la
bors have for so many years been
crowned with such abundant success.
