Savannah Counting on Big DeIega-
ton.

ton.
There IS an active interest In the Chris
tian Endeayor Convention in Atlanta
April 1920. among the members of the
LEGAL branches Of the society.
Rev. Arthur J. Smith. president Of the
safe unicn. and one of the most earnest
Of the workers in the cause of The So
ciety, says that he expects the delegation
from Savannah VIII be the largest from
this city that has ever attended con-
vention cf the society since the reorgap-
izaticn Of the state union.
Not ony are the prospects good for a
large attendance from savannah out
from other places as well, so the outlook
for the convention as q whole is that IL
will be one of the largest held in recent
years
Among the SPEAKERS who will attend and
address the different meetings are Rev
J. r. Plunkett. Of Augusta. who was
heard in Savannah last week Rev. a. b.
Phillips also Of Augusta Rev. j. l. Vance
Of Nashville ard VIM. Shaw Of Boston.
national treasurer Of the society.
Some of the subjects that will receive
special attention are the quiet Hour
bible MaFksmen." the Tenth Legion
and the "MaCedonian PhalanX.' II is also
quite likely that there will he an inter
osing review and discussion Of the pres
ent experiment Of the Rev sheldon in
running a daily Christian newspaper. II
is thought that should the present sue
cess that has been achieved In this line
continue il will be no great while before
some person or persons who are interest
ed in the work and in sympathy with the
aims of the author of the plan viii be
induced to endOw a paper 10 be edited in
accordance with the views expressed by
Mr. Sheldon in his work In His steps -
The interest in the convention has no<
absorbed the attention of the local sOce-
ties to the detriment of their other in
terests, however, as the society of the
First Presbyterian Church is now engaged
in an effort to further the work of the
Macedonian Phalanx by raising sufficient
funds either 10 pay for the education OF
some child as a native helper in the for
eign missionary work or TO pay a part
of the expenses of some mission worker
now in the field. This society now sup
ports one such missionary, Mrs Snyder
who is stationed al Luabo, in the Congo
Free State.
Besides the convention and local work
another matter that Is receiving consider
able attention from the members Of the
society is the series of European tours that
have been arranged for them and their
friends under the auspices of the national
officers of the society and which will be
undertaken next July. These tours are at
tracing a great deal of attention all over
the country. They are nine in number
arranged TO include a more or less ex-
tended itinerary. and which differ in price
according to the length of stay and the
accommodations. So popular have these
tours proven that already many of them
have been filled, and the last the ninth,
has been added TO meet the demands of
prospective passengers who We're unable
to be accommodated in the other tours.
Rev. Arthur J. Smith, who is the excur-
sion manager for Georgia. has already
booked a number of persons from Savan-
nah who will go abroad this summer ana
is in communication with number of 9th
ers who have the matter under considera-
ton. He has no doubt that all of the tours
viii be filed before spring IS over.
