THE LAST OF THIS MONTH
ON A TOUR
Ell Paso Might Arrange Meeting for
them as they Will Be Here a Whole
Day.
Five practical Sunday school work
ers are now making tour of the Uni
ted States from ocean to ocean" under
the auspices of the international sec
retaries. Marion Lawrence and Prof.
III. NJ. Hamill. who jointly conduct the
tour and the work in the various cities
incident thereto.
The Sunday school workers will stop
at forty-one cities and travel $1,000
miles before completing the tour.
They will pass through Ell Paso the end
of this month but are not scheduled to
stop here. The nearest points at which
q stop will be made are San Antonio
and Albuquerque.
This tour, like those which have pre-
coded it, is made under the auspices of
the International executive committee.
for the purpose of advancing and i'm
proving the Sunday school work in the
states and territories visited.
BY arranging the conventions and
special meetings in consecutive order,
the expense is reduced to a minimum
and a number of states can be visited
at practically the outlay necessary to
attend a single remote convention.
None of the party receive any pay for
1 their services. The secretaries salaries
are provided in another way. The
travelling expenses are provided from
funds specially contributed for this
purpose and from offerings at the con-
ventions and special meetings. 1t is
| estimated that the tour can be made at
an expenditure of $500. for travelling
expenses, printing. etc.

BY taking prompt action it is quite
likely that Ell PaSo Sunday school
workers can arrange to have this party
hold at least one meeting here. They |
will arrive in the morning from the

que. An afternoon meeting ought by
all means be arranged. and there would |
