SreSatIOnal CnurcneS.
The first half of the month Of June is
to be taken up largely by two church
conventions that are to be held in this
city, the first on the 8th, 9th and 10th
of June is to be joint convention of
the Epworth League and Sunday
schools of the German Methodist
churches under the jurisdiction of
what is called the Northern district.
Preparations are being made for the
entertainment of some three or four
hundred guests, most of whom will be
delegates to the conference either for
the Sunday school or for the Epworth
League. This same conference was
held in this city sometime ago and at
that time was we'll attended.
The meetings will be in charge of
different men of the church some of
whom are we'll known and able min
listers. Mayor silvsrson will be asked
to attend the meeting on the evening of
the 9Th to extend the welcome of the
city to the visitors, and the pastor of
the local Methodist church will also
deliver an address of welcome which
will be replied to by Rev..H. G. Mahle.
All Of the services of the convention
will be held in the Methodist church
with the exception of the Sunday morn
ing and evening addresses which will
be in Turner hall. This was the prac-
tice followed before and it was found
that by SO doing all who cared to at
tend the meeting could be accommodated.
Almost Immediately following the
Methodist conference will come that of
the Congregational. This differs from
the Methodist in that it is a gathering
of the heads of the churches of the con-
ference, and the questions dealt with
will" be more along the line of the
government and welfare of the churches.
Among the best speakers on the pro-
gram are DR.. Merrill and DR.. Herrick
of Minneapolis. The convention will
and will be held in the Congregational
church in this city, with the following
program for the three days:
