day afternoon the guests will be in
the hands of the local committee,

on the program for recreation. 1t is
understood thai the first afternoon
the visitors will be treated to a boat
ride and the mex day they will be
given an automobile trip to st. Pet
crsburg Beach, with possibly big
fshfry.
Mr.. Harris is authority for the
statement that st. Petersburg is max
ing plans to give the delegates such
entertainment as they have never en-
ioyed before at a Federation. so that
they will always be longing for
another trip to the Sunshine City.

federation. He promises some lively
music. He will have charge of in
spring services of praise at each of

The departmental conferences have
heretofore proved to be very popular
with Sunday School workers who are
seeking for real help in the depart

Dor These departmental conferences
will be held each day, being groups
for elementary study. including the
beginner primary and junior depart

Young People-Adult department.
These will all be in charge of com
petent leaders,
At different times during the meet
ing opportunity will be given for the
workers from the field to give ac-
count of their work and when there
will be a free interchange of views
concerning the work. These FLASHES
from the Field" usually prove to be
intensely interesting.

by districts The section to be occu-
pied by each will be designated by
signs, showing where the workers
from each section will sit during the
sessions.
Election of Officers
The last afternoon of the fedora
ton will probably be the Invest time
during the entire session. This will
be when reports are made and Of
ficers for another year are chosen. In
terest is highest when the election is
called for, and the place for the next
federation meeting is called for. This

honor.
The federation is self-entertaining
body, and as such it becomes a very
desirable meeting, and is sought after
by wide-awake cities and towns over
the conference.
