The young Methodists of Mime
sofa are making great preparations
for the International Epworth League
convention which gathers in De-
troit, Michigan, on July 1919, in
elusive. This great gathering is
the biennial muster day of an army
of over two-million Christian young
people, and is a notable event in
the history of the progress of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The
best speakers and most able and
consecrated leaders pour out their
enthusiasm upon the gathered hosts
and send each Individual delegate
back to his church and chapter
electrified and enthused for the
evangelizing of the world. The
Minnesota representation to these
gatherings has constantly grown,
as the spiritual value and recrea-
ton possibilities have become more
fully appreciated by the Epworth-
ians. At the first internationa con-
vention, Minnesota was not repre-
sented by single delegate. But
one person from the North Star
state attended the second. At the
third in Ontario. Canada, there
were nearly forty; at the fourth, in
indianapolis, the number had
reached we'll towards 100; and at
the fifth, which was held in San
Francisco two years ago, the Mime
sofa delegation exceeded 200. In
speaking of the delegation for De-
troit, w. G.. Calderwood, who is
president of the Minneapolis dis
trict union and one of the committee
who recently visited the convention
city to negotiate arrangements for
the entertainment of the Minnesota
delegation, puts 300 as a conserva-
tive estimate of the number which
will attend from this state this year.
A much larger figure than this he
claims is not improbable. This es-
innate is based upon the number of
inquiries made and the number of
passengers already actually booked
for the trip. Minnesota headquar-
tiers will be in the Woodward Ave-
nue. Baptist church, which is cen
trally located at the corner of Wood
ward avenue and Winder street.
The Minnesota section where the
Minnesotians will be entertained is
in the vicinity of this church.
