Last week in publishing a program of
the Beat Sunday School Convention to
be held at Liberty Chapel Jun %, THE

anybody's thinking that ladies' only
will be allowed to talk at the conven.
ton. In fact, friend has already srg.
gested that perhaps the discussion was
restricted to ladies so as to keep out
the silver question and other political
topics.
