LAYMAN'S MISSIONARY
Big Meeting At The Methodist
Church Last Friday and
Saturday,
It was an inspiring scene at the
First Methodist Church last Thurs
day and Friday evenings to see the
preachers and people of all the de
nominations united in one congre
gation to study again the Go.spel
message and the great commission:
“(io ye into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature.”
The music by the united choirs
and the singing by the people was
highly complimented by Rev. D. Clay
Lilly who directed the conference.
Dr. Lilly showed by various charts
that those churches who adopt a gen
erous missionary policy and definite
financial method not only pay more
for missions but also prosper in ev
ery other way. He is certainly well
informed on his subject and a care
ful business like director.
Rev. J. W. Hitch, one of the speak
ers, is a cousin of Mr. Wellborn Rey
nolds. He has been six years a mis
sionary in Korea. ‘
The address of Rev. John S. Jen!
kins on Thursday evening was first‘
humorous, then unique in its argu—!
ment for missions as a commercial
proposition, then gradually Dr. Jen
kins rose to higher views of the sub
ject and finally by his eloquence lift
ed the crowd to a state of interest‘
and enthusiasm not often seen.
Dr. John E. White, of Atlanta,
spoke Friday night in his usual mas
terly manner. No doubt all who heard
him remember his description of the
parliament of religions at Chicago]

at the Gem Theatre Saturday.

A good story of the open, great
Northwest told by capable artists is
pretty hard to beat as a means of
straight entertainment. One does not
expect to find ony of the modern day
disquieting problems handled: one is
satisfied to take the story at its face
value, to enjoy the complications and
situations worked out, even though
they may be elemental in substance,
and breathe in, as it were, the re
freshing atmosphere, the tingling air
iot’ a country that is strange to many
i -Northern Canada. Of course. you
