S. CONVENTION Finance and Other Committees Will Meet in Y. M. C. A.

Building Wednesday Evening OFFICIAL ORGAN IS BOOSTER Pennsylvania Herald Tells of Celebrated Speakers and of Auto Parties Being Formed Preparations for the State Sunday School convention to be held in this city October 8, 9 and 10 are being hastened by the executive committee. A plan for the financing of the undertaking will be adopted at a meeting of the finance committee to be held Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Y. M. A. building on North Main street.

At the same time, three other important committees, the reception, the entertainment and registration, will hold meetings at the same time and place. Many persons interested in Sunday school work in this city and county received copies yesterday of the September issue of the "Pennsylvania Herald," the official organ of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association, which is devoting most of its space toward boosting the convention in this city. It reveals that many cities throughout the State are hard at work getting large delegations to send to this city and 1t advocates automobile parties to come here such as is now being formed at Bethlehem. A page is devoted to the appeal of John Wanamaker, the honorary president, urging all of the presidents of the associations in the sixty-seven counties, clergymen, superintendents, teachers and all officials of the churches and schools to attend the convention here. Brief summeries of the careers of Wayne B.

Wheeler, Anti-saloon League Attorney; Dr. W. O. Thompson, preslof International Sunday School Association; Marion Lawrence, Sunday school organizer, and Mrs. Baldwin, children's division superindent of the International Sunday School Association, are given with the admonition to hear them speak in Wilkes- Barre.

The front page cover contains an elaborate picture of Irem Temple in this city, where the convention will be held. Local businessmen point out that the merchants of the city will do a large business during the period of the convention as not only because of its size but because the majority of the delegates, who will come here, have never attended a convention and will naturally desire a number of things to serve reminders of the affair they attended in this city.
