clude Series of Interesting
Sessions On Monday.
Twenty-Six Delegates Attend Con.
vention and Are Guests of
Citizens During Stay.

here on Saturday evening and we're
met at the depot by automobiles,
which conducted them to the homes Of
the members of the congregation who
had arranged to entertain them during
their stay. The first session was held
on Saturday evening at the Congre.
.gational church and the last on
Monday afternoon-six in all. The
program was carried out precisely
as published in last weeks Union
Many excellent addresses were made
and we'll prepared papers read-the
convention was highly instructive
from start to finish and showed what
an enormous amount of good work
the Christian Endeavor society is
doing not only in this country but in
all parts of the globe. One of the
principal addresses was delivered by
Miss Stella Beach of Callas, Peru,
who came to this country to be edu-
Gated at Hamline university. She
told of the work the Y. P. S. G.. E. is
doing in South America and gave an
interesting account of the customs and
manners of the people of Peru The
Sunday sessions were especially inter-
~esting, the music being furnished by
the Congregational choir, assisted by
the delegates.
The church was artistically decor.
ated with a profusion of carnations,
plants and foliage, and these, with the
banners of the Christian En-
dea7or society, made a display magni.
icent in it's attrac tiveness.
The following resolutions we're sub.
mitted by the committee appointed for
that purpose and unanimously in
dorsed:
'We extend to the secretary and the
people of Princeton our thanks and
our hearty appreciation for the
cordial welcome and entertainment
which the delegates have received dur
ing this convention.
"We congratulate them on the COM
plete preparation they have made, the
beautiful decorations of the church,
and the hearty spirit in which they
have entered into the work of the
convention.
1--WE wish to express our enjoyment
of the music and our thanks to the
efficient leaders and accompanies.
"We deeply appreciate the hearty
corporation of the Methodist church
and Epworth league-their invitation
to enjoy their beautiful audience room.
Sunday evening, and the splendid
music furnished by their soloists,
chorus and accompanies.
"Whereas, our beloved state
officers, Mr.. and Mrs. Howell, are
about to sever their relations with the
work in this state, and enter into a
larger field of labor.
Resolved, that we express to them
by this resolution our Joy in having
known them, our deep obligation for
the help they have given US during the
time they have been in the G. E. work
of this state, and our wish and prayer
for their happiness in their home life
and in their labor for the further ex-
tension of Christian Endeavor.
''We also wish to extend our thanks
to the district officers who have so
carefully planned this convention
which has proved so helpful and
pleasing to everyone, not the least of
the pleasure being the Peruvian
curios and the instructive talk by
Miss Beach,
Jeanette M. Sanborn,
Gladys E. Cook,
Agnes D. Ellsworth"
The Princeton members of the Y, P.
S. G. E. take this means of expressing
their sincere gratitude to the people
of this village for the hospitality
accorded the visiting delegates, and
desire also to extend special thanks to
the pastor and congregation of the
Methodist church for their hearty CO.
operation throughout the convention.
It is seldom that Princeton is
favored with SO important conven-
tion as that which closed Monday and
the people are more than pleased that
this village was selected. Great good
invariably results from meetings of
this nature and it is to be hoped that
at some time not far distant Princeton
will again have an opportunity of
welcoming delegates to the Y. P S.
G. E. The names of the delegates,
their residences and those who enter
tanned them while here are as follows:
Eleanor Rutherford, Mora-Mr.
and Mrs. M. S. Rutherford; Gladys
Cook and Mary Dayton, Mora Miss
