One OF the attractive features OF the
Twenty-second Annual Christian En-
deavor convention which will be held
in Detroit, June 22-25th. Is the fact
that 1t will be held in the states me
tropolts-the Convention city. An
nually thousands Of peop.e attend con
MENTIONS in Detroit, not only for the
conve ntion's sake, but to see the CT y
with its beautiful environments. Those
who entertain much acquire in a large
measure the fine art OF making their
guests feel at ease. This explains why
the City Of the Straits is favorite in
this country with visitors.
Entertaining yearly scores OF con-
ventions, with their multitudes of del
egates her welcome is cordial, her hos
pitality gracious and her resources
for making guests contented and COM
Portable so varied and extensive that
she is being sought as place or meet
ing by an ever-incrasing number OF or
CARNATIONS.
Detroit has earned it's high reputa-
ton as a convention city by the excel
lent care which it has taken of former
conventions, both large AID small.
Whether the International Convention
Of Christian Endeavor or Epworth
Leagues, or the Convention of the Am
erican Association for the Advance
ment of Science, each has found en-
tertainment in accordance with its
tastes. The city entertained acceptab-
ly, at one time, almost 10000 members
OF the Society of Christian Endeavor,
and at another time was the gathering
place of as many visitors to the ED
worth Leagues. Yet none Of them
lacked for food or lodging. This is
only an illustration of what Detroit
can do when the occasion calls for the
best efforts of her citizens.
Detroit Christian Endeavorers will
this year take forward step in mat
tiers of entertainment, giving their
visitors a number of things free, which
has not been customary In past con-
ventions. Among others will be free
boat ride and free automobile ride.
The program of nearly every con-
vention that meets in Detroit during
the summer months includes some
form of river excursion, and this con-
vention will not deviate from an estab-
lished custom, but will give the dee
gates an outing on the beautiful De-
troit river One of feet Of the most
luxurious feet of excursion steamers
on fresh water has been chartered for
Saturday afternoon. June gath, for the
use Of the delegates.
Without reference to outside excur.
sions, Dtroit itself is an attractive re-
sort In summer On Thursday after
noon, June 22nd, the delegates will be
taken to the points Of interest In the
city In Detroit-made automobiles. in
the manufacture Of which Detroit
leads the world. Perhaps the most
attractive of all Of Detroit's interest
ing places is Belle Isle park, an island
Of 700 acres, set like gem on the
bosom of the river. With its drive
ways, canals and lakes, zoo, new ac-
quarium and horticultural building,
charming woodlands and views of the
passing leviathans of the inland lakes
commerce, the equal to Belle Isle is
not to be found.
All qualified delegates will be en-
utled to the two outings, as well as
lodging and breakfast, free OF all
charges. Every member Of Chris
tian Endeavor Society. Epworth
League, Baptist Young Peoples Union,
Episcopal Guild or Auxiliary, or any
