RETURNED FROM

From the Convention.

puclaved until later in the week.
~ The unanimous report of all is a
great good time enjoyed while on a
trip of unusual advantages offered
them by the occasion of the conven-
tion and the generous contributions
- of those who subscribed to the Des
Moines fund. The trip was arranged
by those in charge to provide for en-
tertainment throughout the whole
journey and during their stay there
cand from all accounts obtainable it
was surely provided.
The Convention was held in the
F Coliseum, a hall with eight thousand
seating capacity. Seven thousand of
the delegates were seated in the hall
proper, while at least one thousand
prominent leaders and speakers from
forty countries were on the stage.
The delegations were grouped by
| states and by sections of the U. S.,
thus making it possible for the var-
iw lous colleges to give their yells and
college songs, as well as giving vent
to sectional pride.
I One of the delegates said that Dr.
| Truett really expressed the complete-
§ ness of the Convention when he said
I that it was a panoramic’ view of the
| world. Dr. Truett delivered the Con-
vention sermon, a message that was
§ spell- binding in its grip. On the re-
| turn trip to Dallas, he very appro-
priately gave two talks to the Texas
I Delegations tersely summarizing the
Work of the meeting, and graphically
arranging it in their minds in the
Way to do them the most good. This
added retentiveness necessary for
Proper reffection and meditation, and
appropriated the whole for their use.
~ Soon after registering at the Con-
| vention, every delegate was given a
| handy map of Des Moines, showing the
locations of all the prominent hotels,
the ColiSeum eating places, ete., also
a hymnal and a handbook were pre-
sented, that those attending might
get the most out of the meeting with
the least inconvenience.
The program was so arrenged that
those attending had little time for
amusement; tho the general and sec-
tional meetings were so interesting
the delegates were eager to be pres-
ent at every meeting possible. The
E! general sessions treated general topics
of interest; while the various section-
pal meetings treated special topics con-
Cerning Volunteer and Missionary
All of the
Speeches and programs were so re-
