Pa. State Christian Endeavor Convention One Of Inspiration More than 5000 Relegates have regis-tered, 4372 in the senior convention and 700 in the junior convention, to attend the sessions of the twelfth biennial State Christian Endeavor convention held here this week. The young folks have taken possession of the town and park, and Christian Endeavor pennants, :colors and banners are seen everywhere. The convention theme is " "Prayer Changes Things." All of the principal sessions and the mass meetings are held in the big convention hall. On Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a meeting of the State Executive Committee was held on the Hershey Inn veranda. At 2.30 a "Pre-Convention Prayer Service" was held in the United Brethren Church. Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor. After a brief period was spent in silent prayer and a large number of delegates offering sentence prayers, an address was delivered, "Better Service," by Rev. D. P. Longs-dorf , of Reading, followed by a few re-marks by President Warren G. Hoopes. County songs and cheers and yells in the big convention hall before the formal opening of the meeting on Monday evening further attested to the fact that Christian Endeavors from every part of the State were present. A choir of 500 voices from Lebanon and Dauphin Counties, under the leadership of Homer Rodenheaver, chorister and musical director, opened the convention with the singing of "America." Other favorites were sung during the evening, and Mr. Rodenheaver played several trombone selections. Miss Vivian Tripp is pianist for the convention. Address of Welcome Warren G. Hoopes, president of. the State Christian Endeavor Union, gave an address. Addresses of welcome were given by John E. Snyder, representing the town of Hershey; J. R. Zoll, for Hershey Park ; Nelson B. Cassell, president of the Dauphin County Union, and Paul Wolfers-berger, president of the Lebanon County Union. The response to the welcome was given by William C, McClintock, vice-president of the State Christian Endeavor Union. The Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of the Lutheran Church, Hershey, led the devotional exercises. F. E. Manmiller, publicity chairman of the State Conven-tion Committee, presided. "Playing Hookey," was the subject of a talk given by the Rev. Dr. A. Pohlman, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Phila-delphia. "Life is one continuous school," he said, "and if you don't fit into the work you are intended to do in that school you are playing hookey." Purpose of Judgments "The studies in the public schools will not fit one for real life," he said. "They do not develop the religious and spiritual side of man's life, and without that-side developed no one can worship God in the great outdoors, because he has no knowl-edge of what God is. We are in this world to please God, and whatever one does is secondary for whom he does it. Judg-ments come in life, just as examinations in school, not that God may know what we have done, but that we may be better able to measure ourselves." Frederick A. Wallis, president of the New York State Union, spoke of the great crime wave of today, and the number of young people who have become criminals. "Three-fourths of the crimes are commit-ted by young men under 27 years of age," he said. "The cause, however, is not prohibition, as some folks believe. Pro-hibition is helping to solve the problem, instead of causing it. "The great cause of the crime wave today," he declared , "is parental neglect. Children no longer receive religious and moral instruction in their homes. They know almost nothing of God, the Bible and the Nation 's laws." "It was a challenge to the young people of America," he said, "to bring about a spiritual and moral greatness that will be comparable with the material greatness of America." Parade of Lanterns Following the meeting, there was a Japanese lantern parade and demonstra-tion on the athletic grounds that finally wound up into a gigantic Christian En-deavor monogram in the center of the field. There were also novelty marches and demonstrations that lasted until nearly midnight, all showing the enthusi-asm of youth for United Christian En-deavor. The procession and demonstrations were in charge of E. A. Pritchartl , assisted by Miss Lillian DcTurk, Miss Elizabeth McIIose, and Albert S. Strohecker, and the county leaders. Tuesday's Activities The Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins, of Philadelphia , began the clay with a quiet hour service, and following that the morn-ing was devoted to hard work with con-ferences and round table discussion on all subjects in which Christian Endeavors are interested . Work Among Sailors At a mass meeting held in the convention hall at 11.30 o'clock , Mr. Tresslor told of the work in the flouting department among the sailors of the Statu. His talk was illustrated with motion pictures. Mr. Pritchard sixikc of the "Needs and Plans for Effective Recreation. " Hut lest, too much work might make Jack a dull lx>y, the whole afternoon was given over to games, stunts , s|X)i ts, riding the Hk(X)ter , merry-go-round , etc. There was a fat man 's swimming contest., base-ball and tennis tournaments. A com-petitive park tour ended with thirty-five in the contest. Junior Convention A Junior Christian Endeavor conven-tion was held , simultaneously with the senior convention , in tin; Hershey High School auditorium Tuesday. Seven hun-dred children from every corner of the State attended . This (heme of (lie con-vention was: "Teach Ua to Pray." Homer Rodenheaver became a magician for about half an hour, and delighted the children with his tricks that taught object lessons of obedience, patriotism , etc. The con-ference of officers was led by Miss Cordellliv Barrett; prayer meeting methods, Mrs. J. W. Prileluud; social activities , Miss Lillian DcTurk; missionary activities , Bender Miller mid Miss Margaret Morris; and publicity, Mrs. Warren G. Iloojien. A pie-prayer service was conducted by the Rev. C. 10. Kolb, Stale citizenship siiixirlntoiidciil and chaplain of the West-ern Penitentiary at Rockview. Juniors from Hershey and from Dauphin County ?;ave addresses of welcome, and juniors rom Cumberland mul York Count ies responded. Sixj riul music was given by Philadelphia Juniors , and an orchestra from Dauphin County played. Miss Sadie II , Wiggins, Stale junior superintendent , presided. A junior track meet was held in the afternoon , and a demonstration entitled "Open the Gates," was given by the Hutn-mclHtown United Brethren Societies In the convention hall In the evening. Chorus of 600 Sings There were noisy demonstrations by the different counties In tho;lnrge convention hall preceding the evening meeting; noisy, with no attempt at harmony, until Homer Rodenheaver, choir director of the chorus of 500 voices, picked up his trombone and began playing, "C. E. Will Shine Tonight," when the 500 young people joined as one person in that popular chorus in a way that seemed to raise the roof. A half hour of praise service followed, in which Mr. Rodenheaver and Miss Vivian 'Tripp, pianist for the convention, sang several selections. The conference leaders, speakers, and State convention committee were intro-duced.- The committee consists of: Warren Hoopes, chairman; William C. McClintock, vice-chairman; Evan L. Roberts, treasurer; Frank E. Manwiiler, publicity chairman; Hollis Danley, chair-rr ji intermediate convention ; Sadie H. Wiggins, chairman junior convention; Mabel Lingle, registration chairman. Special mention was made of: Abner C. Jones, leader of part of Con-vention Chorus coming from Lebanon and vicinity. Andrew Henry, leader of part of Con-vention Chorus from Hershey. J. Frank Palmer, leader of part of Con-vention Chorus from Harrisburg. Ira Shenk assisted materially in making up recreational program and also gave valuable help to registration committee. The Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor of the First United Brethren Church, Hershey, led the devotions, and the Rev. R. H. Taylor, of the Presbytet^jj^Church, Hershey, pro-nounced the benediction. Warren G. Hoopes, president of the State Christian Endeavor Union, presided. Evan L. Roberts, State treasurer, presided in the morning. "There are three axiomatic facts in life," said Rev. Dr. C. Wallace Petty, pastor of the First BaptistJChurch, Schenley Park, Pittsburgh. "What you see depends upon what you are looking for, what you look for depends upon what you are, and what you are depends upon what you think." Doctor Petty scored severely the critics of the institutions of America. "If they don't like our laws, they ought to be court-eous enough to be still or get out," he said. "We need to take a new pledge for Ameri-ca: My Country, may she always be right, but when she is wrong, we will help to make her right." The criticism of the church is also a mark of ignorance and ingratitude, Doctor Petty said, ingratitude because many of the critics have received their education that makes them supercilious in the institutions supported by the very churches they are criticising. Defends Young America "There is also about as much reality in the criticism of the younger generation as there is in the criticism of the clothes they wear," Doctor Petty said."We have the finest generation of young manhood and womanhood that America has ever had. You see in them just what you are looking for." "What you are looking for portrays the character you are, and what you are de-pends upon what you think. It is dan-gerous and lonesome to think," Doctor Petty declared. "It is not done by the best families, nor in the universities. It is especially dangerous to think in a theologi-cal seminary, especially upon religion. Yet the imperial question that confronts all young people today is the age-old question, "What Think Ye of Christ?" Each one must answer the question for himself. All the world with all the superficiality is dying for the Christ." On Wednesday evening one of the special features in the big convention hall was that relating to the Old Time Negro spirituals and recitations by Homer Rodehaver. The address was delivered by James C. Mace, secretary of the department of religious training of Y. M. C. A., of Pittsburgh. Thursday 's Activities On Thursday morning at 7 o'clock, the Quiet Hour Service will be held at the Hershey Reservoir, in charge of Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins.

Retchel will speak on the subject "The Challenge of the Intermediates", followed by an ad-dress "Why We Should Be Alumnae" by AlvinJ.Shartle.

Poling, Presi-dent of the United Society of Christian Endeavor and Associate pastor of Marble Collegiate Church , of New York City. The devotional exercises will be in charge of Rev. T. M. Funk , with the benediction by Rev. J. R. MacDonald. The election of officers will be held on Friday afternoon, followed by adjourn-ment.

Another resolution deplored the "enor-mous outlay of money" in the recent prima-ry election "because it would exclude from the race all save the exceptionally wealthy, and it reflects upon the moral righteous-ness and integrity of all. aspirant* for public office.

Local Lutherans Will Observe Sesqui-Centennial In Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, special observance will be made Sunday, July 4th , of the Sesqui-Centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the sesqui-centennial of the native Lutheran participation in the stirring events of the Revolutionary war days. The pastor, Rev. Kinports, will deliver the sermon at the morning service on the theme, "The Message of the Bell." Special attention will be directed to the dramatic occasion at Emanuel Lutheran Church, Woodstock, Va., in January, 1776,,when the pastor, Rev. John Peter Muhlenberg, preached his farewell sermon to his little flock. At the close of the sermon the pastor descended from the pulpit 4 flung aside his ministerial robes'and strode to the churchyard in the full uniform of an officer of the Continental Army, Recruiting nearly 300 volunteers for the service under him. Before the close of the War, Pastor Muhlenberg rose to the rank of Major- General under George Washington, Com-mander- in-Chief of the armies. The Lutheran Church played a great part in the Revolutionary Days and the local con-gregation will recognize the achievements of these men and the patriotic loyalty of their own Lutheran forbears at a time when "traitors grew on every bush and none knew whom to trust." J. £. Snyder Endorses Move to Improve Har-risbur g Traffic Outlet s Hearty endorsement of the program to solve Harrisburg's traffic difficulties, as outlined by the Public Service Commis-sion, has been given by J. E. Snyder, of town, as follows : "These improvements will mean a great relief not alone to the city but to the county and to all people traveling through the city. The subway at present is almost useless for traffic and it seems so unneces-sary to speak of those grade crossings in South Harrisburg. "The grade crossings cause a condition not much different from what the city used to have at Mulberry street before the subway was built at Second. All grade crossings must go ultimately and removing these now simply means taking a step that would have to be taken eventually. I do not believe many people from our end of the county try to use your subway, because of the congestion. They prefer the Mul-berry Street Bridge, but if the subway is widened it will be used." Holy Trinit y Lutheran Choir Sings at Berr ysbur g The members of the choir of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church , accompanied by their pnnlor , Rev.

Two Good Vaudeville Bills at Hershey Park Theatre For the latter part of this week and the first part of next week the movies and vaudeville at the Hershey Park Theatre are particularly pleasing, and of the same high calibre as those that have been pre-sented since the beginning of the season. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 1, 2 and 3, the program is as follows: "Behind the Front", a feature film, starring Wallace Beery, Raymond Hatton and Mary Brian, in a smashingly good human-interest comedy reviewing the sunny side of the World War. The Musical Rowleys in a comedy musical specialty. Alf. Ripon in "Jiggs." Ward and Wilson in "Laughs, Laughs and More Laughs." Tamaze Trio in an Up-to-date Acrobatic presentation.

Girl Reserves Present Miss Gurne y With Farewell Gift The two groups of Girl Reserves—the Tri-Y and the Blue Triangle met around a camp fire on Tuesday evening in a farewell party for Miss Harriet Gurney, the Girl Reserve Counselor. Before leaving on their hike the girls presented Miss Gurney with a beautiful desk set. In accepting the gift Miss Gurney said it would be a constant reminder of the girls of the two groups and the many happy and worthwhile meetings they have had to-gether. Miss Dorothy Hill , who has been one of the advisers for tlie Tri-Y Club, has consented to act as counselor for the Blue Triangle Club during the summer months. The two clubs will meet every week as usual. Each club has edited a Camp Fire paper, which is a great credit to the ability of the respective staffs. Eloise Moyer was editor-in-chief of the "Blue Triangle Camp Fire Memories." Mary Heil was editor-in- chief of the "Tri-Y Echoes." Miss Gurney will leave for New York Saturday morning on the Queen of tlie Valley. "Behind the Front " at Park Theatre This Week In the parlance of the movie studios, "Behind the Front," Paramount 's comedy of the A. E. F., which will be shown at the I leruhey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday, July 1, 2 and 3, is noth-ing «hwl of ;i "wow." Not since such pictures as "A Regular Fellow" and Harold Lloyd's "Freshman," has audi a genuine pnxhicer of laughs been thrown on the screen. "Behind the Front " is a true mirror of the humorous side of soldiering in France. Tlie story concerns a couple of dumb doughboys, played by Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton , and their love affair with an ex-ceptionally beautiful and vivacious girl , Mary Brian , who never appeared more allur ing and charming than she does in a Red Cross worker 's uniform in the picture. Before joining up with Uncle Sam's raiding party, the two, Beery and Hatton have been sworn enemies; the first—a detective , and the latter -a burglar. But since they both t<x>k to wearing tlie same uniform , they have become buddies.. Beery's comedy ixirfornianco fs truly magnificent , surpassing even Ilia great comedy characterization as "Rhode Island Red ," the happy-go-lucky brim in "The Pony Express." Raymond Uulton also adds new laurels by his acting as Shorty Mc.Ciiw, burglar, stick-up mini and dough-boy. Mary t Brian is splendid , and the love interest of the picture: Is maintained light up to the last comedy climax. Chester Conklin , remembered for his small town character in "A Woman of the World ," gives an inimitable performance as the Scotch Kiltie , who tells the eager dough-boys where he won his medals. Behind the Front " was directed hy Edward Sutherland. Montu Brlce adapt-ed it. from Hugh Wiley 's Saturday Evening Post short story. HERSHEY PLAYS PALMYRA MONDAY Hershey will play Palmyra at Palmyra on Monday morning, July filh. In the aflermxin Palmyra will play Heraliey on the I lemhey Park athletic field. On Thursday evening (tonight), I Iershoy will play Highspireal lliKhsplro. MR. HERSHEY BACK HOME Mr, M. S. Hershey, who has been In Hershey, Cuba, since January, returnee! !<> Hernhuy on Tuesday evening. He la well and hearty and till of ua are glad that hu Is airain back homo. The Fourth of July—the Nation's birthday—seems an appropriate date for Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa, most beloved of American conductor-composers to open his annual tour. This year it is the thirty-fourth season of Sousafs Band, and the opening concert will be given in the Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon , July 4th, at 2.30 o'clock, with evening concert at 7.30 o'clock. Concerts will also be given on Monday, July 5th, at 2.30 and 7.30 o'clock. The opening has a special flare this year because on that date it will be possible to give an appro-priate first performance of his latest march, "Sesqui-Centennial March," written in honor of the 150th year of the Republic, and already designated as the official march of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposi-tion in Philadelphia. Two other new marches this year are : "The Pride of the Wolverines," dedicated to the City of Detroit; and "Gridiron March," dedicated to the famous club in Washington. And of course he will play The Liberty Bell" frequently. The entire country is talking about pro-hibition, the "wets" arguing loudly that "there ain't no such animal" and the "drys" exclaiming just as loudly that it is a success. So the annual Sousa humor-esque is entitled 'The Wets and the Drys" and presents both sides of the question in terms of music. For the radio fans Sousa has made an arrangement for the brass band of the things which the wild ether waves are saying, and has called it "On the Radio." The radio receiving set is almost as com-mon throughout America as the telephone, so Sousa who is as facile an imitator as Elsie Janis, will tell the Sousa audiences how a radio program sounds to HIM. And last but not least. There is a tremendous interest over the country in negro music. So the Sousa programs will contain at least one work of a Negro com-poser, the "Juba Dance" from the suite, "In the Bottoms," written by R. Nathaniel Dett, whom Sousa believes will achieve a place as one of the truly great composers of his race. LIEUT. COM.

The tnxips chanted along with the wild honor of the-air , "Behold the Ixird descendeth to jud gment!

"If he had wanted to see acrobats he would Tiave gone to a vaudeville show. So I try to oblige by restraining myself." It probably is not generally known that it is a "firing" offense for a musician with the Sousa organization to be caught patting out the time with his feet as he plays.

Pa. State Christian Endeavor
Convention One Of Inspiration
More than 5000 Relegates have regis-tered,
4372 in the senior convention and
700 in the junior convention, to attend the
sessions of the twelfth biennial State
Christian Endeavor convention held here
this week. The young folks have taken
possession of the town and park, and
Christian Endeavor pennants, :colors and
banners are seen everywhere.
The convention theme is " "Prayer
Changes Things." All of the principal
sessions and the mass meetings are held in
the big convention hall.
On Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a
meeting of the State Executive Committee
was held on the Hershey Inn veranda.
At 2.30 a "Pre-Convention Prayer
Service" was held in the United Brethren
Church. Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor. After
a brief period was spent in silent prayer
and a large number of delegates offering
sentence prayers, an address was delivered,
"Better Service," by Rev. D. P. Longs-dorf
, of Reading, followed by a few re-marks
by President Warren G. Hoopes.
County songs and cheers and yells in the
big convention hall before the formal
opening of the meeting on Monday evening
further attested to the fact that Christian
Endeavors from every part of the State
were present.
A choir of 500 voices from Lebanon and
Dauphin Counties, under the leadership of
Homer Rodenheaver, chorister and musical
director, opened the convention with the
singing of "America." Other favorites
were sung during the evening, and Mr.
Rodenheaver played several trombone
selections. Miss Vivian Tripp is pianist
for the convention.
Address of Welcome
Warren G. Hoopes, president of. the
State Christian Endeavor Union, gave an
address. Addresses of welcome were
given by John E. Snyder, representing the
town of Hershey; J. R. Zoll, for Hershey
Park ; Nelson B. Cassell, president of the
Dauphin County Union, and Paul Wolfers-berger,
president of the Lebanon County
Union. The response to the welcome was
given by William C, McClintock, vice-president
of the State Christian Endeavor
Union.
The Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of
the Lutheran Church, Hershey, led the
devotional exercises. F. E. Manmiller,
publicity chairman of the State Conven-tion
Committee, presided.
"Playing Hookey," was the subject of a
talk given by the Rev. Dr. A. Pohlman,
pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Phila-delphia.
"Life is one continuous school,"
he said, "and if you don't fit into the work
you are intended to do in that school you
are playing hookey."
Purpose of Judgments
"The studies in the public schools will
not fit one for real life," he said. "They
do not develop the religious and spiritual
side of man's life, and without that-side
developed no one can worship God in the
great outdoors, because he has no knowl-edge
of what God is. We are in this world
to please God, and whatever one does is
secondary for whom he does it. Judg-ments
come in life, just as examinations in
school, not that God may know what we
have done, but that we may be better able
to measure ourselves."
Frederick A. Wallis, president of the
New York State Union, spoke of the great
crime wave of today, and the number of
young people who have become criminals.
"Three-fourths of the crimes are commit-ted
by young men under 27 years of age,"
he said. "The cause, however, is not
prohibition, as some folks believe. Pro-hibition
is helping to solve the problem,
instead of causing it.
"The great cause of the crime wave
today," he declared , "is parental neglect.
Children no longer receive religious and
moral instruction in their homes. They
know almost nothing of God, the Bible and
the Nation 's laws."
"It was a challenge to the young people
of America," he said, "to bring about a
spiritual and moral greatness that will be
comparable with the material greatness of
America."
Parade of Lanterns
Following the meeting, there was a
Japanese lantern parade and demonstra-tion
on the athletic grounds that finally
wound up into a gigantic Christian En-deavor
monogram in the center of the
field. There were also novelty marches
and demonstrations that lasted until
nearly midnight, all showing the enthusi-asm
of youth for United Christian En-deavor.
The procession and demonstrations were
in charge of E. A. Pritchartl , assisted by
Miss Lillian DcTurk, Miss Elizabeth
McIIose, and Albert S. Strohecker, and the
county leaders.
Tuesday's Activities
The Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins, of
Philadelphia , began the clay with a quiet
hour service, and following that the morn-ing
was devoted to hard work with con-ferences
and round table discussion on all
subjects in which Christian Endeavors are
interested .
Work Among Sailors
At a mass meeting held in the convention
hall at 11.30 o'clock , Mr. Tresslor told of
the work in the flouting department among
the sailors of the Statu. His talk was
illustrated with motion pictures. Mr.
Pritchard sixikc of the "Needs and Plans
for Effective Recreation. "
Hut lest, too much work might make
Jack a dull lx>y, the whole afternoon was
given over to games, stunts , s|X)i ts, riding
the Hk(X)ter , merry-go-round , etc. There
was a fat man 's swimming contest., base-ball
and tennis tournaments. A com-petitive
park tour ended with thirty-five
in the contest.

senior convention , in tin; Hershey High

Rodenheaver became a magician for about

of obedience, patriotism , etc. The con-ference

Barrett; prayer meeting methods, Mrs. J.
W. Prileluud; social activities , Miss Lillian

Penitentiary at Rockview. Juniors

Chorus of 600 Sings
There were noisy demonstrations by the
different counties In tho;lnrge convention
hall preceding the evening meeting; noisy,
with no attempt at harmony, until Homer
Rodenheaver, choir director of the chorus
of 500 voices, picked up his trombone and
began playing, "C. E. Will Shine Tonight,"
when the 500 young people joined as one
person in that popular chorus in a way that
seemed to raise the roof. A half hour of
praise service followed, in which Mr.
Rodenheaver and Miss Vivian 'Tripp,
pianist for the convention, sang several
selections.

the Presbytet^jj^Church, Hershey, pro-nounced
the benediction.
Warren G. Hoopes, president of the
State Christian Endeavor Union, presided.
Evan L. Roberts, State treasurer, presided
in the morning.
"There are three axiomatic facts in life,"
said Rev. Dr. C. Wallace Petty, pastor of
the First BaptistJChurch, Schenley Park,
Pittsburgh. "What you see depends upon
what you are looking for, what you look for
depends upon what you are, and what you
are depends upon what you think."
Doctor Petty scored severely the critics
of the institutions of America. "If they
don't like our laws, they ought to be court-eous
enough to be still or get out," he said.
"We need to take a new pledge for Ameri-ca:
My Country, may she always be right,
but when she is wrong, we will help to make
her right."
The criticism of the church is also a
mark of ignorance and ingratitude, Doctor
Petty said, ingratitude because many of the
critics have received their education that
makes them supercilious in the institutions
supported by the very churches they are
criticising.
Defends Young America
"There is also about as much reality in
the criticism of the younger generation as
there is in the criticism of the clothes they
wear," Doctor Petty said."We have the
finest generation of young manhood and
womanhood that America has ever had.
You see in them just what you are looking
for."
"What you are looking for portrays the
character you are, and what you are de-pends
upon what you think. It is dan-gerous
and lonesome to think," Doctor
Petty declared. "It is not done by the
best families, nor in the universities. It is
especially dangerous to think in a theologi-cal
seminary, especially upon religion. Yet
the imperial question that confronts all
young people today is the age-old question,
"What Think Ye of Christ?" Each one
must answer the question for himself. All
the world with all the superficiality is
dying for the Christ."
On Wednesday evening one of the special
features in the big convention hall was that
relating to the Old Time Negro spirituals
and recitations by Homer Rodehaver. The
address was delivered by James C. Mace,
secretary of the department of religious
training of Y. M. C. A., of Pittsburgh.
Thursday 's Activities
On Thursday morning at 7 o'clock, the
Quiet Hour Service will be held at the
Hershey Reservoir, in charge of Rev.
Floyd W. Tomkins.
At 11.20 a mass meeting will be held in
the Park Theatre, with song service by
Homer Rodehaver. Haines A. Retchel
will speak on the subject "The Challenge
of the Intermediates", followed by an ad-dress
"Why We Should Be Alumnae" by
AlvinJ.Shartle.
Prominent Speaker
On Thursday evening, in the convention
hall , the song service will be in charge of
Homer Rodeheavcr. The address will be
delivered by Rev. Daniel A. Poling, Presi-dent
of the United Society of Christian
Endeavor and Associate pastor of Marble
Collegiate Church , of New York City.
The devotional exercises will be in charge
of Rev. T. M. Funk , with the benediction
by Rev. J. R. MacDonald.
The election of officers will be held on
