matter of attendance. The total num-
ber Of delegates registered outside Of

added the boys from the several Au-
gusta churches where members Will
probably reach $50, the entire member
ship of the convention is about S26.
Accommodations have been found for
the entire number of visitors but to
do this the hospitality of the triplct
cities has been taxed to the ut
most
The boys who have come to the
convention are a clean. wholesome set
of young fellows and the purpose of
this convention is to help them to lead
Il Christian life not only on Sunday but
for seven days in week as well. They
have the enthusiasm of the real, live
American boy. and it is the purpose
OF those having supervision of the work
among these boys and young men to
enable them to direct their enthuSi-
asm along the right channels.
