Arrangements Being Made For the
Trip by Kentucky EndeavOrers.
WILL SAIL FROM NEW YORK.

The first International Christian
Eudeavor Convention ever held out.
side the United States, except in Can.
ada in 1898, will be held in London,
England, next July. For over year
a large Commute has been at work
in London making preparations for
the great gathering. And while
they are busy preparing to entertain
all who attend, the Endeavorers on
this side have been busy arranging to
go. Guide books are being studied
and Itineraries examined for tours on
the continent that will be taken in
connection with the convention trip
Tourist climbs have already been form
ed in many of the societies to study
the places that will be visited and the
customs of the people.
The great problem has been to Sc
cure steamship accommodation for
the vast numbers who will 60 to En-
rope next year in connection with the
convention and the exposition. Prac-
ticslly everything will be engaged
early in the new year and many will
be disappointed to find it impossible
to arrange for transportation across
the ocean because they have delayed
too long. That this fear is not
groundless is evidenced by the fact
thst the Endeavor Unions of New
YORK and Pennsylvania were able
months ago to contract for only 500
people each, and their lists are even
now about completed, and the United
Society of Christian Endeavor has an
nounced that their space is limited,
that on account of the recent troubles
in the Transvsal they had not been
able to secure as much space on ves-
sells as they had expected the vessels
they were trying to secure being used
in the transportation of troops.
The Executive Committee of the
Kentucky Christian Eudeavor Union
desiring to secure the best possible &C
commodations for the Endeavorers Of
the State and their friends, some time
ago appointed transportation mana
