Lafayette. Ind. June 1.-The
plans for the fourth annual Epvorth
League institute are now about com
pleted. and the promise is for a
record breaking attendance. II will
be held as in former years. at Battle
Ground. Ind. eight miles north OF

the traction line The date OF the in
stitute this year will be from Mon
day July cath 20 and including

IN, former years. registration fee
of $500 has been charged TO cover
the expenses but a movement was
started last January whereby ar
engagements have been made 10 pro-
vide for the expenses in another
way and no registration fee what
ever is 10 be charged the delegates.
Although the Ieaguers of the North
Indiana conference have withdrawn
from this institute and are 10 hold
an institute of their own at Lake
Wawasee, yet il is expected that the
announcement that the institute at
Battle Ground is entirely free. will
more than replace the delegates
from the North Indiana conference
by increased numbers from every
district i'm the Indiana and North
vest Indiana conferences.

This faculty is at least the equal of
that of former years. All of these
people are experts in their depart
ments. Those who were present last
year will be glad to hear of the re-
turn of Rev. Sweetland. who made
so many friends last year Rev. Pc
ter Jacobs was present at the first
institute in Indiana, in 1913. and is
considered perhaps the foremost eX-
pert i'm fourth department work that
is available. DR.. sheridan is the
general secretary of the Epworth
league and his presence at the in
stitute this year is a piece of rare
good fortune. All the other menu
bers Of the faculty are experts in
their lines. and should make the
week amply worth while for every
body
An interesting plan has been
adopted in many districts for the
purpose of bringing the institute TO
the attention of the young people
who ought to attend More than
sixty institute teams have been form
ed. which are visiting the nearby Ep-
worth leagues. and taking care OF a
Battle Ground night program. with
an enGeavOr TO arouse the leagueTs
20 an appreciation of the Oppor-
tunity afforded by the institute for
an enjoyable vacation. as we'll as for
very effective training for service.
one Of these teams has already re-
ported - registrations. Where
league chapters are not in reach of
an institute team. many leagues are
planning 10 hold their own Battle
Ground night service. and are thus
presenting this imp 'rtant matter TO
their young people.
