CHRISTIAN ENpEAvoRERs

Plans are practically complete for
the biennial convention of the chris
tian Endeavor societies of the United
vene in Saint raul early in July.
From fifteen to twenty thousand dele
gates are expected, and to accommodate
them the new municipal auditorium,
seating 10000, the drill hall of the
new armory, and six large churches
have been reserved for the meetings
scheduled, which will be practically
continuous night and day for six days.
The delegates to the Saint Paul con-
vention will represent $4,000 different
branch societies with total member
ship of 100000. The last convention
was held in Seattle with 1900 dele
gates and four years ago, when the
society met in Baltimore there was
an attendance of $4,000 delegates.
In addition to the space reserved
for meetings, fifteen churches and
other buildings have been secured as
headquarters for state and provincial
societies. These will be utilized for
the legislation of delegates and in
assigning them to hotels and places
of entertainment provided in advance.
The registration alone will be an i'm
portant task.
Several special features have been
arranged for, the most important OF
which will be parade of all the Wis
iting delegations from the auditorium,
where the sessions will be held, to the
steps OF the new Minnesota state capt.
tol, where a song service win be held.
The broad steps and walks, which COW
er considerable elevation from the
streets nearby to the entrances of the
building, will accommodate 10000 peo-
pie massed for such a meeting and
arrangements already made promise
that this unique service will be one.
of the most impressive of the conven-
ton
The convention will give generous
aid to the national anti-tuberculosis
movement and arrangements are in
progress TO install complete exhibit
which will be prominently displayed
throughout the meetings.

SUNDAY NOT COMING
Says Invitation Lacks the Neces-
sary Enthusiasm.

BILLY" Sunday, the noted Evangel-
ilt, who is now holding reyivel at
Marshantown win not ncomei to- Os-
faloosa. The great Evangelist has
rot made a definite reply To the in,
sitation that was extended him by the
Oskaloosa Ministerial association but
he has not been backward in stating
that he is not impressed by the en-
thusiasm shown by the Oskaloosa peo-
pie. He says IL the people OF Oska-
loosa desire his services they should
show the fact through works and not
words alone. :itlar " Il, f,,g,.yyi
The first unfavorable impression
received by Mr.. Sunday of the Oska'
loosa invitation was occasioned by
the fact that only two ministers came
to see him to confer with HIM con-
corning the matter. Other towns that
have desired the Evangelist have sent
great delegations of ministers and
church members. People g, have come
to him in punches and in crowds and
by train loads imploring his presence
in their city. In the next place Mr.
Sunday believes that Oskaloosa
churches lack enthusiasm over the
possibility of his coming to the town.
He says 1t is ,all right to have the con-
gregations and minister's y, vote and
move that invitation be extended, but
what he must see before he will en-
gage to visit any place is an un1lis-
taxable evidence of enthusiasm and
a manifest willingness on the part Of
the church people 10 get out and work
and to assist in the revival campaign.
Two ministers of 'Oskaloosa bore
the invitation of the Ministerial Assa-
citation to Mr.. Sunday They We're
Rev. S. H. Zendt, of the Christian
church, and Rev. Alexander McFerran
of the First Presbyterian church.
The ministers were kindly received
in conference by Mr.. Sunday. he gave
them all the time necessary in their
conference over the subject of COM
ing to Oskaloosa. He was plain IN
his statements to his visitors and did
not attempt to conceal the fact that
he was not favorably impressed with
the invitation.

This exclusion of the Confederate
dead from the honors OF our Memorial
Day is based upon principle. 1t means
the teaching of true American patriot
ism--the patriotism the Grand Army
fought to maintain. Ii means that
those who fought TO destroy the ma
ton, however-bravely they fought,shall
not be placed upon equal pedestals
with those who fought to save the ma
ton. Four hundred thousand died to
save the nation-'the grand army of
the immortal" They died for all in
a holy cause. They are the nations
dead.
Hail to the dead-the Nations dead
Who sleep by wood and field and
shore!
To them we come with loyal tread
And kneel beside their graves once
more
With notes of bugle-song and drum,
With flying flags and sweet May
flowers,
And grateful hearts, again we come
To deck these soldier graves of
ours"
On this sacred day devoted to hon
oring the nations dead and teaching
a national patriotism of the Washing,
ton and Lincoln kind, let us highly
resolve that the dead shall not have
died in vain"
