SEATTLE, WASH., CONVENTION

Excursion rates for Seattle Convention, Sept. 14-17, have been secured, and all those arranging to attend can secure these by inquiring of their local Ticket Agent.

MILWAUKEE CONVENTION

The Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Assn., representing 1500 of the city’s leading business men, have invited the INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION to hold a Convention in the City of Milwaukee, Sept. 16 to 24. They have placed their splendid Auditorium at our disposal, its seating capacity being over 3000, with smaller halls conveniently connected with the main Auditorium.

RAILROAD RATES.—The Central Passenger Association informs us that they grant no excursion rates in their territory, owing to the fact that the two-cent per mile rate prevails. We have learned, however, that regular summer tourists’ excursion rates prevail from many points in this territory, and also in North and South Dakota, Wyoming and certain parts of Minnesota. Friends coming from this territory should inquire of their local ticket agent about regular tourists’ rates to Milwaukee, or to Chicago via Milwaukee.

A SPLENDID PROGRAM.—The Program contains the names of some of the Association’s best speakers, and is a splendid one. Brother Russell will be present the latter part of the Convention. Arrangements are being made for an I.B.S.A. steamboat excursion on Lake Michigan Thursday afternoon, Sept. 21. Everything connected with the Convention arrangements leads us to believe that the Convention will be a profitable one, and we look for a large attendance.

DAYTON, OHIO, CONVENTION

Mayor G.W. Shroyer, of Dayton, has extended a hearty invitation to our Association to hold a Convention in this city. We have accepted the invitation and appointed the dates of October 5 to 8. Governor White has placed at our disposal the Soldiers’ Home Memorial Hall, where the various sessions of the Convention will be held during the morning and afternoon, with the exhibition of the PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION in the evening. We had hoped to secure special concessions from the railroads running into Dayton, but have been unable to do so. However, those contemplating attending the Convention would do well to inquire of their Ticket Agent regarding local rates. We are preparing a very attractive Program. Brother Russell will be present during the latter part of the Convention.

DALLAS, TEXAS, CONVENTION

The friends at Dallas inform us that exceptionally low excursion rates are granted their city on account of the Dallas State Fair, Oct. 19-22, and we have arranged for a four-day Convention to be held on these dates. The various Convention sessions will be held in Oak Cliff Casino, cor. Crawford and Fifth Sts., during the morning and afternoon: the PHOTO-DRAMA will be shown at night. Brother Russell will be present during the latter part of the Convention. Those desiring information regarding rooms, railroad rates, etc., should communicate with E.G. Rust, 2517 Harrison Ave., Dallas, Texas.
