The LAND
" 0F CANAAN
Mecca of the Worlds Fourth
Sunday School Con.
ventiOn

What promises to be one of the most
notable religious events of recent years
Is the meeting of the worlds fourth
Sunday school convention, which is to
be held at Jerusalem April IS, 10 and
&c, where delegates from all Christian
lands will foregather.
From time immemorial Jerusalem has
been the Mecca of religious pilgrims.
and rightly SO, since ii has been the
seat of religious life and history. To
many nations and races has ii given
the basis Of their national faith. 1t is
not to be marveled at, then, that the
Sunday school forces of the world turn
ed toward Jerusalem as the place for
their next convention. The conception
seems large, and the project is indeed
one of magnitude, but, rightly consid-
cred, it appears to be wholly practi-
cable, and the interest which attaches
to the subject is a most natural one.
The Sunday school organizations, of
which the worlds convention is the
highest expression. number over 25,-
DOC, 900 members. Representatives from
these bodies have gathered but three
times in the history of the organized
Sunday school work-the first time in
London in 1889. the second time in st.
Louis in 1893 and the third time in
London again, in 1895.
1t was found that the only practi-
cable way of transporting the delegates
to the coming worlds convention was
through a chartered steamer. Accord
Ingly the Grosser Kurfurst Of the
North German Lloyd was engaged by
the central executive committee of the
worlds fourth Sunday school conven-
ton, of which Mr.. r. X. Warren Of
Three Oaks, Mich, is chairman, to
leave New York March 8, 1904, with
delegation Of about 800 members The
steamer makes a cruise of the Medi-
terranean, returning to America May
49, after having given the delegates a
choice of seventeen days in Palestine
and Ave days in Egypt or the reverse.
The foreign delegates, particularly
those from Great Britain. are to make
their pilgrimage on the Fuerst Bis
marck. sailing from Marseilles April l
and returning April 30, the passengers
uniting in the convention in Jerusalem.
