Indiana Epworth League to Convene in South Bend in July 1900
The Indiana Epworth League plans its state convention in South Bend from July 12 to 15 1900. Arrangements in the city target entertaining the youth Methodist attendees as circulars go out to district and local groups to boost turnout. The rural post office faces closure under a postal service plan to discontinue over a thousand offices next year, shifting mail delivery to homes and expanding routes from larger towns. The department argues free rural delivery requires abolishing small offices to succeed financially, signaling major future postal changes.
