Denomination.

The eyes of the young Methodists Of
the world are now turned toward Dem
Yer. The attendance is expected TO run
anywhere from thirty to forty thousand
perhaps the largest gathering OF Meth
odists in conference that the world has
ever SEEN OF course, the United States
will be most largely represented. Not
only the occasion, but the place of meet
.ing-Denver. great convention city, d.
rectly on the way to the Portland EX-
posltion-will add to the attendance.
The convention watohwords are, IAN
for Christ; Christ for all. This gives
a good general Idea Of the subject anu
the spirit of this great conference. Like
the International Sunday School Conven-
ton just closing in Toronto, Canada, the
Epworth League Conference IN Denver
will seek to put first before the people
the present Revival Movement" most
prominent In Wales and yet distinctly
noticeable over all the world. The abil ng
idea in the Epworth League of the Meth
odist Church Is to equip her young peo-
pie for intelligent and efficient service,
that the church may successfully and
wisely meet any and all changed condi-
tons that may confront her, So far,
thing 1t is generally conceded on all
hands that Methodism has succeeded In
doing this.
The method of this conference has some
what changed from the six that have
preceded It. Heretofore the speakers have
been more numerous and the time allotted
them ranging from five to fifteen minutes,
while IN Denver the speakers are fewer
and the time given each speaker runs
from fifteen to thirty minutes. This Is
wise change. and the good results will
be manifest. The topics given need thirty
minutes for most effective handling.
Place of Meeting in Denver.
There are three general places OF meet
Ing, central and OF great seating capacity,
namely: Coliseum Hall, Central Presby-
terrain Church and Trinity Methodist
Church. There will be three sessions OF
the conference each day, and the same
subject will be discussed at each place
ut the same hour. This gives great
unity to the programme and proves more
valuable to the delegates.
