OVER 1,000 DELEGATES TO BE AT LOGANSPORT.

Sunday School. Convention to Be Indiana's Chief Religious Event This Yeair. The most important and largest religious event scheduled in the state this year, is the Indiana State Sunday School convention, to be held at Logansport, June 15, 16 and 17, and it also promises to be the largest meeting this body has held since it was formed 51 years ago. More than 1,000 delegates, representing all the counties of the state will attend, and many counties will send large delegations. The Indiana Sunday school convention is intensely practical in its work. It will not only review the work bf its official organization for the last year, but new state officers will be elected, next year’s work mapped out, and a number of popular sessions will be held which will be addressed by inspirational speakers bf national reputation. More than this, many special conferences will be held for departmental workers, for teachers of Cradle Rolls, Intermediate classes of boys and girls, Bible class teachers, workers in temperance, missions, publicity, and other lines of Sunday school activity. The convention promises to tax the capacity of Logansport. Hundreds of Christian homes in that city will open their doors to the visitors and genuine Hoosier hospitality will prevail. Because of the size of the convention and its length, the delegates have declined to accept the free entertainment which many Logansport people urged upon them, bdt only nominal charges will be made for rooms in the homes where breakfasts will be served, and the

women of the city will serve noon lunches in the phurches. The Christian people of Logansport have for weeks been working out extensive plans for taking carv of the convention and the event will be one of combined Sunday school inspiration and pleasure, including sight-seeing trips in and about the city. The Indiana Sunday School Association will match tho Logansport preparations with a very brilliant program of speakers, music and other features, which will soon be ready for announcement. It is expected that the convention attendance from the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth congressional districts will be very heavy. The township Sunday school eon- ' entions will be held in the various townships in this county on May 9, 16 and 23, and the county organization is making plans to send a largo number of delegates to the state meeting.
