lumbia This is said to be an innovation in
local Christian Endeavor convent .ons,
though the AFOREMENTIONED rallies are usual
ly included in the programs of the interna-
tional conventions. Not since the great
convention of 1896 has such a thing been
undertaken here. The subcommittee APP
pointed from the various denominations to
arrange for these rallies Friday night have
taken hold of the plan with enthusiasm.
In four cases out-of-town speakers of prom
nence have been secured. The Methodist
Episcopal and Methodist Protestant com
mitteeS have drawn Philadelphia for
speakers; the Lutherans are to have their
national president from Baltimore. and
the United Brethren college president
from the west.
'Denominatonal Loyalty is the general
theme for these meetings, and it is pro-
posed to discuss Christian EndeavOr work
as applied in each denomination.
