Convention and Canvassers' Institute for Florida

By R. W. Parmele

A YOUNG people's and Sabbath-school convention, together with a canvassers' institute, will be held at Orlando, Fla., beginning April 2.

Orlando is located on the main route of the Atlantic Coast Line from Jacksonville to Tampa, and on a branch of the Seaboard Air Line, near the center of the State north and south, and is easily accessible from all parts of the State.

It is expected that the convention work will come first, and at its close the canvassers' institute will begin, and continue for two weeks. A series of meetings will be held in the same place, beginning early in March and running through the convention and institute. The best of help will be provided for these gatherings. The Florida Conference Committee will also meet in Orlando at that time, to plan the work for the summer.

Tents will be furnished free for the occasion for all who desire them, but furniture and bedding will have to be provided by the occupants. Meals will be served at the lowest possible cost.

Throughout the entire time, instruction will be given on healthful cookery, healthful living, and hydrotherapy by Dr. Lydia E. Parmele, our medical missionary secretary. This occasion promises to be one of special importance to our people in the Florida Conference, and there should be a large attendance. Let all come prepared to stay through the entire time.

Should any of our people from the north wish to attend this gathering, they may be assured of a hearty welcome. We have excellent territory for canvassing, and the work,

can be prosecuted successfully throughout the year.

Let us hear from all who expect to attend, that we may make preparations accordingly. The writer's address is Bartow, Fla. Will not our church elders and leaders take hold of this matter, and urge a large attendance?
