The Luther League of the Worcester
district, New England conference of
the Swedish Lutheran church, will hold
ITS 18th annual convention in Brattle-
boro Saturday of this week and Sunday
and Monday of next week The league
is composed of the young people of the
church and is similar to the young peo-
pie societies of other Protestant de-
nominations. About 100 delegates are
expected to be in attendance. Ninety
already have registered from Worcester,
Springfield, Fitchburg, Gardner, Orange
and Athol, Mass, and Proctor, Rutland
and West Rutland, VT.
The church here is rather small TO
entertain such a large delegation. but
friends outside of the church have vol
nnteered to provide lodging for the del
egates. The trustees of the First Bap-
tlst church have kindly given the free
use of their church for the concert and
lecture to be given Sunday evening.
Sept. l, at s o clock
The entire program will be given in
English and the public is invited. Ad-
mission is free, but an offering will be
taken to help defray necessary ex-
penses.
The Brattleboro board of trade is not
to be outdone by any other organiza-
tlon IN town and has, through its seere-
tary,. offered an automobile tour to all
the visiting delegates Sunday afternoon
at 2.3O O'Clock. The Valley Fair asso-
citation has offered the free use of the
grounds, including the equipment, for
tn Fairgrounds for the picnic dinner
and sports which are to be given Labor
day afternoon, beginning at 1890.
On account of the distance and in
creased travelling expenses, the eusto-
mary registration fee is omitted and the
entire expense will be borne by the local
young peoples society. Part of the
necessary amount has been raised
| through entertainments and socials, and
/ it is hoped that the balance will be pro-
vided by gifts and collections at the diff
ferent meetings during the convention.

badge as a mark of distinction. Follow
