SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
PLAN FOR CONVENTION

Pursuant to call, Sunday School and
church workers representing practi-
cally all the churches in Mexico met
at the Hoxsey Hotel Friday night, the
22nd, for dinner and for setting for
ward the organization of committees
for the State Sunday School Conven-
ton which is to v in Mexico on
Tuesday, November Ia, and continue
through Thursday, the 10th.
The work of the various committees
was studied and chairmen were Sc
lected for the three main committees
as follows:
J. W. Gallaher, General Chairman.
r. D. Worrell, Chairman Entertain
ment Committee.
J.. C. Mundy, Chairman of Finance
Committee, with J. W. Million and
others yet to be selected, helpers.
L. B. Hawthorne, Chairman Of the
! Publicity Committee.
Rufus Jackson, Mitchell White, Jno.
Beal, Associates.
There are yet seven committees for
which chairmen and workers must be
found. A Sunday School mass meet
ing is called for Sunday, the 24th, 3
p. M, at the Christian Church. All
pastors, Sunday School Superintend-
ents, teachers and other workers are
requested to be present, so that all
may be made conversant with the
plans for handling the Convention.
The personnel of the organization
as completed thus far and as contin-
ued at the mass meeting Sunday af-
ternoon will be presented by Chairman
Gallaher and other cnairmen to the
Commercial Club at its next meeting
4 Friday, the Goth, at the Hoxsey Hote'
l for approval by the Club and for GER
tain suggestions and certain additions
/ to committees, as the members Of tn
Club then present may see fit to sug
gest.
/ 1t might well be mentioned her,
1 that practically all available space
in the hotels has already been spokel
for and a great deal of it definitely ar
: ranged for the convention.
s The preliminary organization in tn
It plans for securing money, $4,000, t
s bring the Convention to Mexico, hav
Y thus far guaranteed the hotels, board
+ ing houses and restaurants that n
n church or church society will operat
4, an eating house or serve meals in an
o way during the Convention. A car
s. vass of all of the available spac'
l. tables, lunch counter seats, etc, wi
y be made by the Entertainment Con
m mittee, and each hotel or restaurar
10 will be allotted whatever number
IL can serve.
p One very important feature is Il
securing of homes for some six or Sc
b. en- hundred people. These homes Al
ne expected to furnish lodging and breaI
e. fast only, and where it is impossib
n to serve breakfast, to give lodgir
he only. All delegates come with Il
he understanding that they are to pay
e. cents for lodging and rs cents f
'r. breakfast. The other two meals a
It's to be served by the hotels, resta
re rants, etc. In this way the peoT
ne who give up their homes for lodgil
Ise and breakfast will not be prevent
ne from attending the meetings of t
Convention.
Here is an opportunity to give Me
leo the finest piece of advertising S
Pc has had in years. The State Assoc
, a ton carries articles a column long 1
as three or four weeks in newspapt
lie numbering one hundred and fifty
ide two hundred in all parts of the Sta
hit describing the work of the Convt
md ton, and, of course, mentioning Nj
of leo in every article.
