22ND STATE C. E.
CONVENTION ON
[Continued From First l^age]
ing the day and has seen the crowds
of incoming delegates as the young
men and women of the Reception
Committee in their natty white caps
made them welcome to Harrisburg
would have agreed that >in numbers
at least records were being made.
Kvery Train Brings Delegates
Almost every train bore its quota of
young people, many of them on their
first visit to the Capitol City, and all
eager for the opening of the meetings
to which the State has so long looked
forward. Many badges distinguishing
the various county otganizations were
to be noted. Some of the counties
ever sent special trains, so large were
their delegations. But even the small
est delegations were filled with the en
thusiasm that will go far toward mak
ing this convention "Pennsylvania's
Best."
Christian Endeavorers are estimat
ing that the registration of delegates
to the State convention will reatfh the
3,000 mark and in all probability be
yond. About 1,730 delegates from
Harrisburg C. E. Union, 500 Juniors
and 600 delegates from various points
of the State making a total of 2,800
■were the latest reports given out by
the general committee to-day.
Assisted by a number of Boy Scouts
in uniform the Reception Committee
conducted the delegates to the Con
vention Hall as fast as they arrived.
Here the entertainment committee
quickly registered them afid assigned
tl'.eni to their places of entertainment
in the homes of Harrisburg. The Jit
ney Club of Harrisburg kept a goodly
supply of machines at the hall and
as soon as the delegates were assigned
they were quickly conducted to the
places indicated. Those who came
earlier in the day had plenty of time
for sight-seeing trips over the city
and many of them took advantage of
this opportunity to begin their ac
quaintance with the beauties of the
city.
Executive Committee Meets
While the delegates were coming in,
the State Executive Committee held
its opening meeting in Market Square
Presbyterian church. Then at 4
o'clock the preparatory prayer service
was conducted in the Reformed Salem
Church with the Rev. R. G. Bannen,
of Williamsport, as the leader.
But not until 7:15 this evening will
the convention really get under way.
At that time, with State Vice-Presl
deni J. Henry Stauff, of Pittsburgh,
presiding, the convention will formally
open with song and prayer, addresses
by Governor Brumbaugh and Bishop
A. E. Swengel, an anthem fiy the Har
risburg C. E. Choral Union and the
convention sermon by the Rev. W. N.
Yates. State President Clarence H.
Chain, of Philadelphia, will deliver the
"keynote speech" in which he will set
forth the convention purpose. Homer
Rodeheaver, "Billy" Sunday's chorister
will add yet more thousands to those
who already know and love the tones
of his silver-throated trombone. Penn
sylvania's twenty-second C. E. con
vention wll have begun.
Receptions to Delegates
When the more formal part of the
program has been concluded the dele
gates will scatter to various city
churches where short musical pro
grams will be rendered followed by a
social hour in which the visitors may
become acquainted with the local dele
gates. Refreshments will be served.
Merchants Decorate
The Chamber of Commerce has sent
letters to the Harrisburg merchants
asking them to decorate their places
of business for the convention. Eighty
foul merchants had already made ar
rangements to do this and this request
is expected to bring the number up to
over 100. The people of the city have
also been requested by the Chamber
of Commerce to display C. E. pennants
and flags. These special flags may be
purchased at Bowman's, at the United
E\ angelical Publishing House and at
the Central Book Store.
Banquet For "Experts"
Endeavorers who are specialists i»
certain features of C. E. work will be
interested in the banquets that are an
nounced for the evenings of Wednes
day. Thursday and Friday. On Wed
nesday the Junior and Intermediate
workers will have an opportunity to
discuss good food and the problems
of their work at the same time. They
will also enjoy meeting the noted
Junior workers who will fie present
from other States. On Thursday the
young people who have studied and
[Obtained the degree of Christian En

. deavor Expert will have their ban
! quet. During the past year this State
I hat' been in a race with New York
and Ohio in an effort to secure the
j greatest number of new "experts."
i The race has been quite close but Ohio
has been keeping steadily ahead, so
jthat the Endeavorers of this State are
Keyed up to great interest in this
j feature of the work. The third ban
j quet will be a novelty in this State
\ aithough similar ones have proved of
; great interest in other States. This
j wll be the Veterans' Banquet when
j the Pennsylvania Veterans' Association
will be organized. Anyone who has
been an active Endeavorer for ten
years or more or who has been an
j officer in a State, county or local C.
jE. Union may become a veteran. The
j annual gatherings of this organiza
tion will prove to be unusually en-
I Joyable If the stories that come from
I Ohio and other States are indications.
I This Veterans' Association is expected
to be a great help In furthering the
work of the State Union.
