10Th CENTURY CONVENTION.
Meeting of Committee and Recep-
ton Monday Evening.
Something About the Objects OF the
Convention and the Methods by
Which it is Hoped to Attain
Them.

The meeting of the State Convention
Committee Monday evening and the So
Ciabc and reception which followed are
again calling the attention of the public
TO the movement in which large part OF
the Christian people of Burlington and
the whole State of Vermont are becoming
interested. IT may not be amiss, there
fore to explain some of the objects pro-
posed and the methods so far as these
have been decided upon. by which II IS
hoped the movement will be brought TO
yield valuable and permanent results in
the life of the participating churches. 4
Perhaps the earliest suggestion OF
great union mass convention with which
to close the present century and 10 enter
upon the twentieth dates back to June,
1898. when the Epworth League state CON
Veution was in session in Burlington. lt
was thought that If one young peoples
society could carry through so large ana
successful q gathering, what might rot
be expected If the other two societies or
The State most similar TO IN" League IN
their teachings, purposes, and ways OF
" 1rliiugs would lend II hand also, and If
this trlpic alliance of young peoples or
carnations should decide to give the
world an object Lesson in Christian comfy
ana fraternity such as great conference
for the study Of the pr blems confronting
them and the best methods for solving
