The preparations to entertain the
throng of Sunday-school workers, who
will invade Nashville on the 9th day
of June, have gone on with increased
interest and rapidity each day and
week and, as the hand on the face Of
the clock moves around and as the
days go by, one is reminded OF the
fact that the Congress is just few
days off, but this does not say or argue
that Nashville will not be ready to
entertain her guests The people of
this city seem to have taken in at a
glance the magnitude Of the approach
ing meeting The committees ap-
pointed to prepare for the comfort and
entertainment of the delegates and
visitors are working successfully At
the Congress headquarters this week

tary j.. c. Fields, of the Assignment
Committee, sent postcard to every
visitor that had signified his intention
of attending the meeting. They are in
their Office and will properly look after
the scores Of letters and postcards
coming from various sections OF the
United States as only competent COM
mittee can do. The people OF Nash
ville-the very best people-members
of all churches, connected with every
denomination, have readily consented
to share their comfortable and hospita-

consumed in the deliberations of this
meeting Sunday-schools, B. Y. P. U
