The Luther League Convention
To be Held in Canton August 10Th to
September 1st, Will Bring Large
Crowds. Chorus of 800 Voices

Canton people in making plans and
preparations for the immense crowds
which will invade our city commence
ing the 29th Of this month. A larger
crowd Canton has probably never
seen and the committee on arrange
ments Is being taxed to the utmost in
their work of securing rooms for dele
gates, singers and pastors who will
come to the convention of the Young
Peoples League of America.
This convention will have many
splendid features both in the line of
music and lectures. The best of every
thing is the assurance given by the
program committee. Music by an
immense chorus of three hundred
trained voices will thrill and the best
of learned men connected with this
league will lecture and give discus
sions upon the vital questions pre-
Sented.
Prof. l. o. Hertsgard who will con-
duct..the grand chorus is young man
who is rapidly rising into musical
fame as u director of great ability
and has proven in latter years his
knowledge of both band and chorus
music, by the interpretations he gives
of the modern and dead masters.
Surely Canton will have much to
look forward to and there will be no
doubt but the auditorium will be
crowded at all meetings.
This meeting will be wonderful
inspiration to Canton people. There
is no doubt but that it will impress
all people with it's greatness. 1t will
come as a power to awaken the peo-
Pile who are working to further
Christianity.
In as much as larger crowd is
coming than,f anticipated it has
become necessary to send out call
for rooms for visitors from the good
people of other churches in Canton
Canton people should respond to this
call and donate rooms as the ad ver-
tisement to our city this convention
will bring, will be carried all over the
northwest
Those who have free rooms to offer
or those who would accept visitors at
Sl.OO per day or $50 for room and
breakfast should send their name to
Prof. Dale signifying how many rooms
you have to dispose. 1t is to be hoped
that Canton people will help Boost
for Canton and the convention that
is coming.
