nent Boosting the Convention Gives
Many Reasons Why Norfolk is a
Good Place for II.
The executive committee OF the Y.
Nj c. A., composed of G. G.. Wallace,
w. d. Mead, jr, w. s. Curtis and T.,
!. Simonds. has issued pamphlet
boosting the state convention to be
held in Norfolk on February 10 to 16.
This Is what the committee says:
Why Attend.
First.-Because we are invited by
clergy, churches, citizens and Com
mercial club.
Second.-Because the people of Nor
folk are planning to give us the most
cordial reception and show their hos
pitality by opening their homes to us.
Third.-Becaus Norfolk desires us
10 assist them in arousing an interest
in association work so that this con-
vention may be the means On bringing
the institution to them in a new or
ganization and building, as 1t has been
done in other cities.
Fourth-Because the expense Is no
greater than other years. Everybody
pays the same railroad rates. cents
per mile no certificates. Accredited
delegates from city, railroad and stu
dent associations and from unorga.
nZed towns will be entertained in the
homes of Norfolk.
Fifth.-To impart enthusiasm for
the extension of the Kingdom of Christ
among young men. To stimulate the
effort and enlarge the vision of dele
gates as to their privileges and re.
sponsibilities. To receive the report
of the state committee and give it in
structions for the coming year.
Sixth.-Because unusual thought is
being given the program. To those
who have attended previous conven-
lions of the Nebraska associations it
will be sufficient to say that the topics
and speakers will be fully up to the
high standard of former years. The
music-always a feature of great help.
fulness-will be inspiring as usual.
Seventh.-Because there is an in
SEPARATION about a convention which
can be gained in no other way. One
there is always value in the spoken
word One may know about great and
good men, yet prefer to see and hear
them. A convention gives an oppor-
tunity for the effective expression of
the best thoughts, the ablest ideals,
the deepest life.
Therefore, all men, whether men,
bers or not, are invited who are in
terested in building up higher type
,of christian manhood in Nebraska;
who, as active members of the Young
Mems Christian association, pastors,
or members of evangelical churches
desire to unite their efforts with 9th
ers in the accomplishment of this pur-
pose. If not entitled to be accredited
delegate, write state Office and creden-
tials will be furnished by state secre-
tary.
