1t has been conservatively estimated
that these meetings will bring dele
gates from all sections of the coun-
try numbering into tb., thousands with
fair sprinkling from foreign coun-
tries. All of the conventions and con-
crosses thus far have been well at
tended and there is every indication,
because of the growing interest in
civic governmental and religious prob
lens, that those remaining will draw
even larger audiences.
