FAIRMONT, w. Va, May 22.-In
all probability. the delegates that have
been elected from the various towns
and cities throughout the State to at
tend the eleventh annual convention
of the West Virginia Christian Endeav-
or Union, which convened last evening
in this city have arrived and the dele
gates alone, to say nothing of the Wis
itors generally from these various
places, will number about three hun
dred. ~Morgantown, the place in which
last years convention was held, alone
sent fifty delegates.
Last evenings and to-day's attend
ance was remarkably good, but nothing
in comparison with what it would have
been had the weather remained favor
able, although it is pronounced as be-
ing the most largely attended conven-
ton yet held by the Union.
Last evenings meeting consisted
mainly of short addresses and singing.
Hon. o. S. Mckinney delivered a neat
address OF about twenty minutes in be-
half of the city, welcoming the Chris
tian Endeayorers and visiting guests
within our gates. At the conclusion OF
his address, Bishop C. C. Pennick spoke
on Greetings From the Churches" A
response was made by A. M. Buchanan,
d. D., on behalf of the Christian En-
deavor societies of the State. Speaking
OF Fairmont, DIR. Buchanan said: I'VE
have enjoyed some OF your hospitality
and we rejoice in again having the
pleasure to visit you. Speaking from
the standpoint of one, | have been
visiting your town for fifteen years, and
l .now of no better place than Fair
mont"
Evangelist Arthur ]. Smith, ex-presi-
dent of the Georgia Christian Endeav-
or Union, also delivered an address.
The Mission of the Christian En-
deavor' was ais subject, and his ad-
dress was very interesting.
