Many societies have made inquiry at

delegation which has been assigned TO their
church. While it is not desirable. at this
.lne 10 prescribe any fixed plan in this re-
sdio, prlef account of what one society
mas done may offer a hint or two to the in
curing ones. The following comes from
one or the members of the Central Preshv-
terian Young Peoples. Society of Christian
L,nueavor' which society is to have the
pleasure of entertaining the delega tons
from the six provincial unions of Canada.
Inc members Of the Central Presby-
ierian Christian Endeavor Society are de-
sated with the delegations assigned to
then Tor next July, and feel it an honor to
entertain our Canadian brothers and sis
ters. Ihey are the only Endeavorers ont
size OF our own country who will come i'm
any nuineer; and having once had con-
Ventlon OF their own, will be better able to
appreciate and enjoy our hospitality. Very
soon after hearing the news our CORE
sponolng secretary wrote a cordial letter
VI sreetlhg to all the six unions, asking for
particulars of their work and begging thai
all reports, circulars, &c, issued from now
on to July should be sent to US We have
neara from two Of the unions, who report
mat they expect to bring 400 with them to
w ashington, 90" They also sent a conv
OF the last convention program, full of good
things, and have arranged that one of
tnelr union papers shall be sent to our So
clety each month. A map of the city was
requested, which we furnished. We hone
soon to hear from the other four unions.
and IN the meantime, are planning the
form of our entertainment.
AS the delegations will not go to a no.
TEL we expect our church to be more use
fui as headquarters than those whose
guests have commodious hotel quarters as
a counter attraction.
And SO we will try to give our chanel
a cozy, home-like air, with all the COM
forts we can procure. We will have desks
ana paper, couehes where they can rest.

knowing how they enjoy a sight of their
Union Jack, we applied to the British en-
bassy for loan Of their flags. Sir Julian
Pauncefote kindly replied that he would be
very happy to lend any Of the embassy
flags for the purpose. Another feature of
our decoration will be a corner devoted to
a display of all the programs decorations,
maps. &c. that have been prepared for our
missionary meetings. These have all been
made by our members, except some foreign
curios and will give an idea Of the work
we are doing in this line"
