Meetings, Octo ber
20-22-Expect At
tendance of Over
Half Thousand

The annual convention Of the Maine
Sunday School Association will be
held in this city October 20. 81 and %.
with the Congregational church at the
conference church. This fact was
made known after a supper which was
held Monday evening at the Y. M. G.
A. and at which preliminary plans for
the convention were talked over and
several committees were named to
have the affair in charge
The association held a conference
here about four years ago and since
that time the conferences have been
held in Waterville, Portland and Ban
gor. At the last meeting held in Au-
gusta the attendance was 535, which
is the largest number Of young people
ever recorded at such a conference in
this State. 1t is believed that the at
tendance this year will very nearly
equal that figure.
The tentative plan for the confer
ence calls for the use Of the various
churches here for conference groups,
with the general assemblies at the
South Parish Congregational church
dress the delegates. The detailed pro-
mas iiOI SSS bSCAA oi1dHSSo am
