This ban ner was placed in a conspicuous place in the church and it was plain that Lhe Providence Endeavorers were mak- ing heroic endeavor to secure the next convention. In opposition to this big force the little band from Westerly was arTayed, and when 8 formal invi- tation was extended to hold the next LRxkin's hymn Ho for Westerly was sung to the tune of Whosoever Will. There was spirited contest and the Providence delegation stood firm for Providence. It was urged in opposi- ton that inasmuch as the majority of the conventions had been held in Prov idence. 1t was but fair that some of the other sections of the state should be considered, and the plea of the Westerly delegation for their home town prevailed, despite the large op- position fbrom the big city of the state. So the convention of 1915 will be held in Westerly.
