HOST OF METHODISTS
EPWCRTH LEAGUE CONVENTION
AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Thousands Attend the Fourth Inter
national Conference-Tom1ins Hall
and Tent Epworth Filled with Dele

The fourth international conference of
the Epworth League began at Indianapo-
lis with indications of Outdoing all the
previous gatherings of the great organ
ization, both as to the number of dele
gates and visitors in attendance and the
enthusiasm shown in the opening rallies.
All sections of this country and of Can
ada were represented in the hosts Of
young people who thronged the streets
and public places of Indiana's capital on
the opening day. Besides the $500 dele
gates there were almost as many visitors
with credentials, the latter including sew
eral prominent divines and laymen of the
Methodist Church who figured in the list
of speakers. Headquarters had been
opened for all of the various State and
provincial delegations and for the con-
ference departments. Rallies of these de
partments were arranged in addition to
the stated program. Washington street,
Pennsylvania street and other leading
thoroughfares of the downtown district
We're gay with flags and banners bearing
the Maltese cross and the familiar motto,
Look Up, Lift Up"
The conference formally opened at $50
o'clock Thursday afternoon with stimuli
taneous rallies in the big tent in the court
house yard and in Tomlinson Hail, just
across the street. Immense crowds OF
leaguers and onloOkers were at the open
ing meetings. Both the tent, which holds
1900 people, and the hall, which holds
5000, were taxed to their full capacity.
At the tent Hugh Dougherty of Bluff
ton presided and Gov. Mount made the
opening speech, welcoming the delegates
