From the Great West.

OR Christian Endeavor party
for the great International
Christian Eudeavor Convention
al Denver which left Colum bus
on July 9Th was joined 10y vari-
Gus delegations until the Tennes-
see line was reached, when our
Mississippi party numbered
about twenty persons. No event
Of special importance happened
until our train arrived in ST.
Louis. Here hundreds Of En-
deayor badges on enthusiastic
Endeavorers and dozens Of spec
ial trains, all leading to the west,
indicated clearly that in Denver
in 1903 would be held one of the
greatest of conventions. The
great Missouri Pacific ran a
special train for the accommoda-
ton Of the Kentucky delegation.
AS they left the union depot in
st. Louis the strains of "Old
Kentucky Home" rang out sweet
and clear on the morning air.
This was followed by another
special known as the Dixie
Flyer well named, for it was
scheduled to run at the rate of
sixty miles an hour This
tram was made up of delegations
from Indiana, Tennessee and
Mississippi. AS we left ST.
Louis the Mississippi delegation
sang their State song and Ten
nessee came to our car to listen.
They answered with the Tennes- |
see Christian Endeavor hymn. |
after which Rev Ira Landreth, !
Of Nashville, Tenn. made a |
beautiful talk, welcoming Mis- |
sissippi to the party and ex-
pressing the sentiments Of the |
Tennessee Endeavorers regard
ing sunshine in travelling and |
love of the whole par
5y. This was responded to in
very happy manner by our own
Mr.. John A. Stinson in a few
we'll chosen words. 1t was not a
hard thing for him to do being a
former Tennesseean. Then all
oined in singing "Blest be the
lie that binds our hearts in
orotherly love, +" after which
Tennessee and Mississippi re
paired to the Indiana car and a
service was held there.
Our trip from st. Louis was
or a considerable distance along
he banks of the beautiful Mis-
souri, rive and was probably one
If the fastest runs ever made
rom St. Louis to Kansas City.
The local Endeavorers of Kan
,as City met US at the depot and
gave US quite a cordial welcome.
The run from Kansas City to
he Colorado line is through
some of the most interesting
PARTS Of our country. As far as
he eye can see are fields of rip
ming oats and wheat. Here and

Captain .Bluhm s team of In
vincible Sluggers returned to
the city with an intense longing
for that dear Columbus. They
are to be congratulated on their
good showing while in Eupora,
however. The first game WASH t
so bad. Pete Cox gave the Eu-
pora boys sample of slants and
curves that made them open
their eyes. The umpire hash t
decided yet whether Columbus
won IN the ninth with a score of
z to 6, or whether the game was
tied in the tenth with z to Z. or if
Eupora didn't take off the laurels
in the eleventh with one score in
their favor. Be that as it may
the second game belongs to Eu-
pora to a tune of 20 to 6.
