This letter serves as a last minute call to all who are interested in the work of th(. convention, reminding you to niako ami complete yc/nr plans now to meet us at Benedict coliege in July. -There is a great host of 'Sundav school superintendents, P.

Easily reached from any section of tho?state.???am? pealing especially to pastors and the various auxiliaries of ttie churches to put forth special efforts to help the various schools and unions to make ample preparation for the state convention.

Pleaisp drfn't turn a deaf ear to these final calls; don't turn them down at this late moment?the call is too preat, and the need too urpent. ^Moreover," f >r somp cause or reason, you 1 live -refused- to respond to- -the -rpent appeal of the state mission board for monthly (rfTerinfcs,' and as we have received such a small amount through this channel, wo .must make this last minute call for you to contribute liberally toward this work or we will be financial! embarrassed at our annual session this year. The parent-body under tHe lead ership of Dr. H. H. Butler, has closed its annual^ session with a record-breakinp attendance and a marvelous financial success. The Women"-* Convention, -under the leadership of Mrs. M. K. Howard has just?dosed onf of the most successful annual sessions in its history. It w*as a hupe success? spiritually, financially, and numer ! ically. Some of the greatest and most ardent supporters of the S. ! S. and BYPU convention belong i to these two bodies that have just I closed their excellent annual scssion. It is, therefore, befitting and 1 proper that all eyes, he&ftS, and minds turn now to Benedict college for the thirty-third annual session Trf the 'Statp S. R. and?B.Y.P.U. convention. These three conventions tTT-cffuLt constitute one ffraal. family?parents and children.
