Word has been received at headquar-
ters that Bishop Stuntz of South
America and George Sherwood Eddy
will attend Convention and deliver the
two closing addresses the evening of

Bishop Stuntz is one of the most
brilliant speakers of this country. On
his election to the Bishopric he was
appointed to the South American field
for period of four years. Bishop
Stuntz served number of years in
India and the Philippines. In the
Philippines he was very prominent in
establishing the Methodist Missions
which have had such remarkable sue
cess. The name of Bishop Stuntz ad-
ded to the program should be the
means of drawing large number of
Methodists of the state who are UNI
decided about attending Convention.
Mr.. Eddy is the Y. M C. A. Secre-
tary of Asia, the Near East and Rus
sia and is associated with DIR. John
r. Mott, with whom he has made
several world tours. He served a
number of years as a missionary of
the Congregational church of India.
In his present position he spends six
months of each year in Asia. He has
just returned from China where he
has had a most remarkable revival
among Chinese Students, having en-
rolled $4,000 in Bible Glasses during
the last six months. His meetings
were attended by such large crowds
of students that overflow meetings,
attended by 1,50O students, were fire.
quent. Mr.. Eddy is in great demand
as speaker. Men who have heard
him once will travel long way to
hear him again.
With DR.. Mott, DR.. Taylor, Mr..
Ward, DR.. W. F. Oldham and the
large number of prominent speakers
who have been previously announced,
the Methodist Mems Convention will
have the strongest program ever
presented in Ohio.
A great deal of enthusiasm is shown
all over the state. Last week the pas
tors of the Cleveland District heartily
endorsed the campaign and voted to
do their best in making it a great
success, and movement is on foot
to arraage for a special train.
The men of Canton churches are
planning to get together and bring
large number by special train and
they will enter the big parade as the
Canton delegation.
A large number of Boosters are be-
ing held in various parts of the state
in the interest of the Convention.
Bishop Anderson is giving a great
deal of his time speaking at the Boost
ers and the Bishop is confident that
four thousand Methodist Men of
Ohio will respond to the call.
Interest is also being shown by
other denominations and inquiry is
being made daily as to the possibili-
ty of men, other than Methodists re-
gistering. Registrations are being
received daily from all parts of the
! state.
Cards calling for PRAYER are being
sent out to pastors and committeeman
