The committee in charge of the
Twenty-Second Annual Michigan Chris
tian Endeavor convention, to be held
in Detroit. June 22-25, will take
definite forward step. Many young
peoples conventions have been char
acterized by a great enthusiasm gen
Grated by many eloquent speakers-in
itself a good thing But much of this
zeal has been understanding more
than an indefinite spiritual elation.
The plans for the coming convention
make ample provision for the creation
of enthusiasm. The point Of differ
ence lies i'm the fact that all of the en-
thusiasm will be directed along the
channels of greatest efTlciency-it will
be put to work in the most effective
way possible.
1t is recognized that each young
peoples society has problems which,
though unique In many respects, IRE
similar in other points to difficulties
which others have faced In n confer
ence conducted by an expert, each one
will be encouraged to express his To-
cal difficulties, and the training and
experience Of the conference leader
and every member as well viii be APP
piled for the time being 10 the case
