E,ents for the Great Convention.
Tent Washington is the name given to
the third tent which will be utilized for a
meeting place during the convention of
Christian Endeavorers in July next. This
determination was reached last evening by
the committee of 90 at its regular weekly
meeting. The other two tents are known
respectively as ''Tent Williston'' and TENT
Endeavor," the first named after the church
in which the first Christian Endeayor So
ciety was organized, and the second in
honor of the movement itself. These two
tents were used for the first time at the con-
ventior in Boston last year, but the new
tent which will be dedicated to Christian
Endeavor purposes next July has been APP
propriately named after the city In which it
will first be used-the capital of the country
where the organization is most vigorous
At the meeting of the committee of 96
last night Chairman Smith read a letter
from Secretary Baer, requesting that
twenty churches be named for the holding

the committee to the effect that twenty-five
of these meetings ought 10 be held, instead
of twenty, and it was decided to suggest
this to Mr.. Baer. A list of twenty-five
available churches was made up and ordered
