New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-02-10

First in order of time will come the
gathering of the Catholic State Forest
ers. This convention will be held here
during the month of June and there
will be more than three hundred dele
gates present from all over the state.
The deliberations of the body will ex-
tend over three days and New Ulm will
have ample time to show her abilities
as hostess during that time.
While nothing definite has been
settled upon, in all probability the State
Turner Societies will hold a funniest
here during the summer. These gather
ings, which have heretofore been very
successful when held here, bring large
numbers of visitors to the city. They
continue their work for two days. The
decision as to New Ulm's being chosen,
will be made when the Turnbezirk
meets in annual convention in March.
In August there will be two days
convention of the Sunday Schools of
Brown County. This is small gather
ing, the delegates numbering about
forty, In this convention the Protes-
tant Churches of Springfield, Sleepy
Eye and New Ulm will join.
St. PauPs Lutheran Church will be
ready to celebrate its Golden Jubilee
during the summer and these festivi-
ties will take place during the Lutheran
Synod Convention which will be held
here also during the month of June.
but like the Foresters Convention the
exact date has not yet been set. This
gathering will continue in session for a
week and there will be about two hun
dred ministers and parochial school
teachers in attendance. The fact that
the two conventions come in the one
month will mean that the city will
have to exert herself to the utmost to
bring credit for her efforts.
Probably the largest convention and
one of widest Importance will be that
of the Charities and Corrections organi-
cations of the state. This was held last
year the latter part of September at
Bemidji and the securing of the 1915
convention for New Ulm came as
big surprise to the city. For time
the surprise brought feeling akin to
dismay but the active workers for the
city's good quickly rallied and deter
mined that nothing should be too big
for city that is anxious to do it's part
in state work. From three to five
hundred delegates will be here and the
committees who agreed upon New Ulm
made an investigation of her resources
and decided she could handle the meeting
tho it is large one and will require
the cooperation of all.
Another early fall convention will be
that of the Methodist Conference.
The annual gathering of the Northern
Conference will be held in late Septem-
Der or early October and combined with
the lay mems conference will bring
nearly 125 visitors here for four days.
They will represent nearly sixty parishes.
Last but by no means least in the
minds of many will be the meeting OF
National Guard Association. This will
be held probably in October and will
bring practically all the gold braid in
the state to New Ulrn. Usually from
two to three hundred officers of the
National Guard attend these sessions
which last two days. 1t is possible
that the formal opening Of the Armory
will coincide with the date of the Con.
vention. The Governor will be one oil
those who will be invited to attend.
