CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES.
Local Arrangements for Attending
Baltimore Convention.


The Baltimore convention chorus of 400
voices will give preliminary concert in the
9Th Regiment armory building on FRI
day evening, June 30, which the resi-
dents of the city are asked to patronize and
so help toward the payment of the expenses
of the convention. The Baltimore Endeav-
orers are already reported to have raised
1000 for the convention expenses
The cost of attending the convention will
be comparatively small to people from
Washington. Rooms in private homes will
be provided at a minimum cost for each
person, and meals in the same manner.
The total necessary expense to Washington
Endeavorers for the entire six days of the
convention is estimated at not over S12.
The Baltimore committee on entertain
ment announces that 1t has made ample
provision to care for all who come and that
nobody need feel any anxiety on that score
Rooms may be readily secured after arrival
in Baltimore.
While notice in advance is not necessary
in order to secure accommodations, the Dis
trict Christian Endeavor Union, 1413
street northwest, wishes to be informed
nearly as possible of the number of Wash
ingtonans who expect to attend the con-
vention, that plans for transportation
and entertainment may be made to the best
advantage.

cial Royal Blue train to take them over

urday afternoon, July s, will give Washing
ton a taste OF the convention. 1t is eX-
pected that a considerable number of dele

close of the convention. The District
Union is making preparations for the en-
tertainment of such visitors and is trying

union at 1413 G street.
