Presbyterian Theological Seminary:
The statement was made in your
columns two weeks ago that quite a
number of the students of the Seminary
were planning to attend the Second
General Convention of the Laymen's
Missionary Movement to be held at
Chattanooga, Tenn., February 6th to
Sth. The Highland Presbyterian church
of Louisville, learning that about $150
would make it possible for the whole
student body to go, since many could
pay their way in whole or part, placed
more than this amount in the hands of
the'r pastor. Dr. Hawes, for this purpose
and in consequence practically the
whole body of students will attend, the
three remaining Missionary days of the
session being given to the Convention
and parallel work assigned by the professors.
In addition to the students,
Professors Cotton, Hawes, Hemphill and
McAllister, of the faculty, will also attend,
Dr. Hemphill being on the program
for an address on "The Place of
the Theological Seminary in Mis.donT

be added, enthusiastically appreciated
by the Seminary community.

Missionary rally extending through
three days. Quite a number of speakers
from out of town will be on the
program, and among them Mr. Campbell
White. Dr. W. J. Martin has
promised to be present and serve in a
varied capacity. The program calls for
some three or four addi esses from him.
Dutidson: Rev. Dr. C. M. Richards in
a sermon of interest last evening on the
"Second Coming of Christ," wueii giving
the views of the pie-millenniaiists
and of the opposing school made this
rather startling admission. He remarked
that the views of the pre-mlilennialist
have never been convincing to him
and that he held to the older and moro
geneially accepted idea that the secoui
coming of Christ meant his coming for
the tinal judgment; yet. It was a noteworthy
fact, that nearly all of the missionaries
of the cross to heathen lands
held to the pre-millenlum theory and
that It was not unfair to assume that
men who were such faithful and devoted
followers of Jesus would naturally be
those who would know best the mind of
the Master and be those to whom he
would reveal hidden truth more perfectly
than* to any others upon the*
earth.
