AS the time for the great National
Christian Endeavor convention ap-
proaches, Endeavorers all over the land
are becoming more and more interest
ed in the preparations for their recep-
tion and entertainment at San Fran
cisco in July. The final and definite
settlement of the railroad rates is
greatly simplifying the work of the
various transportation managers, anC
the reports of their efforts to organize
parties for California '97' assure the
local committee that the first estimates
of the attendance will be reached anC
perhaps exceeded. The state of Cali
fornia is becoming thoroughly aroused
to the importance of the great gather
ing, and the various counties are pre-
pairing to entertain the visitors will

typical of the Golden State"
