The men now being pursued made use

Whereas, the said Chamber of Com
merce, in endorsing the so-called
"Air Line" does SO under the declara-
tion Of absolute neutrality" and
paradoxically declares its antagonism

tion of the Ch2mber Of Commerce to
be against the interests of the city of
Springfield, as well and just as truly
as it is against the interests of the
majority Of the towns and residents of
southwest Missouri, and that the
action of said chamber in, endorsing
the so-called "Air Line" does not meet
with the approval of the civic and
business interests of Springfield.
Therefore, Be 1t Further Resolved,
That this convention, representing the
best horticultural section of the state
and the. best agricultural section, as
well as majority of the towns of
southwest Missouri, does hereby un-
condemn the action of the
Chamber of Commerce of the city of
Springfield in endorsing the roads
they have endorsed, and call Nupon
them to retract said endorsement;
and, in case such retraction is refused,
we do hereby, with confidence, ask the
business houses and citizens of
Springfield to repudiate said endorse
nent, and to demand of the said
Chamber of Commerce to demonstrate
ts neutrality if it really is neutral,

Will Select Delegates to
Y. NJ. G. A. Convention

Selection Of local delegates to the
trlenmal convention OF the Young
Mems Christian Associations OIL
i North America, to be held IN Atlantic
City, n. j., November 1919, will be
made at the October board meeting
by the Y NJ. L. A, of this city.
This convention, the 4lst in the
history OF the organization through
out the 2,200 Associations in the
United States and Canada as in cer>
tain respects the most important.
This is not only because of growth
IN membership and activities since
the 1919 Convention in Detroit, but
because speci;,l attention will be
given to the organization and rela-
tionships of the general agencies
such as the Safe and International
CommltteeS-to the various local As
sociatiOns, and t. the basis of active
membership in the Associations. This
latter subject is not a new one &:
these conventions bu. is always of
intense interesc because it involves
the question Of whether active MEM
bership should require membership in
evangelical churches.
G NJ tretsen:cpo nsita,1u ord TO. cd o
The call for The convention, signed
by Alfred Z Marling, chairman, and
DR.. John r. Mott, general secretary,
of the International committee, states
that probably never before have we
been called together to counsel about
more varied or more important is
sues.
At these triennial conventions, the
International Committee composed of
some 200 business and professional
men from all states of the Union and
Provinces of Canada-is elected by
the several thousands Of delegates.
The latter als6 formulate policies
and Instructions to guide the Com
mittee's course as general agent of
the North American Associations in
their work at home and in their ac-
tivities in foreign countries.
The Forthcoming convention will
receive the reports Of commissions
which have been at work, some of
them for seveISl years, on matters
vitally affecting the various Associa-
tions. These include commissions on
approach to the churches, occupation
of the field, policies and processes of
raising money for the International
Committee, and Army and Navy
work.
1t is expected that the delegates
sent to the forthcoming convention
will be composed more largely than
every of laymeH rather than Of en-
ployed officers. Delegates are chosen
by vote of active members or by the
boards of directors OF the local AS
sociations.
The Atlantic City Convention will
be the first hcid east Of the Allie
ghanies since the Washington, D c.
Convention in 1907. An exhibit por-
traying the history Of the Associa-
tons movement since its introduce
ton into America in 1851 will be
shown, together with motion pictures
of the work of he organization in 81
countries.
