The following letter received by this
paper is printed for the information of
those interested.
The Florida State Sunday School
Convention convenes in Tallahassee,
March 2Sth to Both, inclusive. 1t is
the desire of the local committee to
have all the Sunday schools in the
state represented by a number of del
egates, as many as five if possible, but
send at least one.
In order to obtain large delegation,
make ample preparations for the re-
ception and accommodation of all the
delegates in advance of their arrival,
it is necessary that we communicate
with some representative of each
school. We are therefore, writing
you for certain information which is
absolutely necessary for the local COM
mittee to have, and to also furnish
you with information of which the del
egates should be in possession when
appointed, and before leaving home for
the meeting.
Kindly bring this matter to the at
tention of your Sunday school at the
first meeting after you receive this
letter, and as soon as you can secure
your delegates to come with you, mail
to us the name and postoffice address
of each, using the enclosed card. 1t is
important for us to have this informa-
ton that we may assign them to
homes in advance of their arrival, and
furnish them with an information that
We see necessary to add to their con-
yenience and comfort in coming to
Tallahassee. If, after mailing the en-
closed card, other delegates are ap-
pointed to represent your school, you
can send in their names with postof-
fee address, but we wish to secure, if
possible. the names of all delegates far
enough in advance to enable us to pro-
vide for them.
At the meeting in Live Oak last year
consolidation was effected of the
Florida Sunday School Association and
the West Florida Sunday School Assoc
citation. 1t is very important, there
fore, that there be large attendance.
and Tallahassee is preparing to take
care of all who come.
In a letter to the committee from
Mr.. r. R. Ray, the state secretary, he
says, in speaking of the program:
1--WE will have the following speak
ers: Brown and Durham of Chicago,
Excel and Roper, musicians, of Chi
cago, Honoline and Fitzpatrick of North
America, Secretaries Simms, Virgins,
Ellzey and Long. There will also be
others. We confidently expect to have
Geo. w .Truett and hope to have DR..
Len G. Brougbton."
The program and demonstration
Sunday school work will be the most
complete ever offered state associa-
ton, and it will be worth to your
school many times the small amount
of outlay necessary to get here.
The meetings will be held in the
large auditorium of the Methodist
church and in the new auditorium of
the Florida State College for Women,
each easily the largest assembly halls
in the state.
Mr.. Joseph Richardson, chairman of
the Southeastern Passenger Associa-
! ton. has given a rate of one and one
half fare, if as many as 200 attend, on
the certificate plan. Cards explaining
this will be sent to the various dele
gates when the local committee has Sc
cured their names and addresses
Let US have the enclosed card in re-
turn at the earliest possible moment.
