mittee on programme and arrange
ments for the tenth international
Sunday school convention, to be held
in Denver, COL, June 26 to July, l.,
1902, at which several members of
the worlds Sunday school executive
committee were present, the question

tee was appointed to correspond
with the foreign section of the
worlds committee as to- their views
in reference to holding the fourth

Palestine, probably in March, 1904.
Full information in reference to the

the matter is fully practicable and
whether delegates could .be made en-
