ODD FELLOWS COLUM

The D. G. NJ. Gee T. Kersey on
July 11th visited Garden City Lodge
No. 1857, Joliet. He was accompa-
MED by P. G. NJ, A. H. Allen. He
also visited Evanston No. 2349
and found both lodges in flourish
ing condition. He will visit Spring
field, Peoria, Bloomington, Jackson
vile, and Decatur before the Grand
Session. The recommendation of the
Grand Master adopted at the 1915
session at Champaign which enables
the G. NJ. to visit without expense
to the various lodges is one Of the
best laws of the Order, and helps
greatly to encourage the many lodge:
outside of Chicago. Such Legislation
is worthy and will do much good anC
bring prosperity to the Order.

CONVENTION
Especial to The Blade.)

With the securing of the big Con-
vention Hall and Auditorium the cit
izens of this city passed their first
milestone in preparing for the visi-
tors of the Great National Baptist
Convention that is to be held here
September 6-12, inclusive. This
feat was accomplished by the com
mittee of three, consisting of Drs.
Hurst, Williams and Beckham, who
are representing the general com
mittee in charge of the entertainment
of the entire delegation.
Simultaneous to the securing of
this Convention Hall, news came from
Vicksburg, Miss, that the executive
committee of the Congress in session
there had chosen its delegates for the
coming big gathering.
A program covering six days OF
constructive work has been made
which is argued here as guarantee
ing an unusually interesting session
The Committee on Homes has been
at work for some time making assign
ments.
The citizens of the city, regardless
of denominations, have joined hands
to help Kansas City entertain hei
guest, the first week in September.
The Baptist Ministers Alliance
took action some time ago, whereby
the securing of the big city Conven
tion Hall and other places were heart
lily endorsed.
1t is safely estimated by President
Jones of the National Baptist Con
vention that over five thousand Bap
lists will invade Kansas City during
the week of the Convention.
