Mr.. Thompson has found in ex-Gov H. II.
Wells. member Of the committee, a valuable
aid, and owing to the interest displayed by
Gov. Wells the chairman has been largely re-
heved of the burden of the work. At the outset
the committee found that it would be necessary
to raise $4,000, large sum, as every one
knows. but none too large for the needs or for
the hberality of the constituency that are the
hosts OF the assembly on this occasion. The
general assembly Is composed of 600 commits
sioners, both clerical and lay, representing the
presbyterles scattered throughout the country.
The local committee is expected to entertain

The assembly contributes toward the expenses
OF the remaining two-thirds 81. so per day.
Then there are the expenses of clerical hire for
the committee on arrangements, correspond
ence. printing, entertainment, &c. Gov. Wells
started the ball rolling by securing
some eight or ten subscriptions of
$500 each. Then number Of
smaller individual subscriptions were received
and each of the Presbyterian churches in the
city gave liberal subscriptions, besides the indi-
vidual members offered to entertain commits
sioners at their homes. The work Of the finance
committee was a great success. The members
are John W. Thompson, chairman; John ".

Perhaps the committee that has been bur-
dened with the greatest amount of details is the
committee on hospitality, of which Mr.. Sardis
L. Crissey is chairman. Mr. Crissey has taken
upon himself large share of this work, and the
delegates owe to him largely the very complete
arrangements which have been made for their
comfort while in this city. All the correspond
ence, and it has been very great In relation to
stopping places has been conducted by Mr..
Crissey, and for the past month he has spent a
portion of each lay at the headquarters of the
committee writing letters and answering,
questions by mail. He has the list of delegates
and as rapidly they are assigned quarters
the list is made up subcommittee will be at
the depots to receive the delegates they
rive and give them directions as to tine best
way of reaching their stopping place. In fact,
no detail has been neglected

oimcuity that can impair his good nature.
Perhaps the most important committee is the
nnance committee. A good deal of money is
needed to properly entertain a great body like
the general assembly of the Presbyterian
Cnurch, and care was exercised in the selection
OF the committee to which would be intrusted
the duty of raising the money. At the head
was placed Mr.. John W. Thompson, whose ex-
Perlence in large affairs of this character has
Deen varied and whose excellent business abil-

There are a good many pleasant little plans
arranged for the social entertainment of the
delegates during their stay in this city. A
committee known as the committee on social
entertainment, of which Rev. Byron Sunder-
land, ID. D., is chairman. has given this matter
special attention. They have arranged for a

very large. In the first place there are the
letter heads used in the correspondence, which,

been printed in very handsome style, the cover
being shade of blue, which. as every ones
knows, is the color of the Presbyterian Church.

cover and on the last page the seal of the church
is displayed. The entire production, which
makes quite pamphlet, is artistic and credit

OF course it is not to be expected that the
members delegates to the assembly should come
from all parts of the country to this beautiful
city and then not see something of the historic
places which lie all around it. So. very prop
erly. a committee on excursions was organized.
and at its head was placed the popular pastor Of
the Church of the Covenant, Rev. Teunis S.

work and he also understands something about

head of this committee is Mr.. Philip T. Larner,

In addition to the business sessions Of the
assembly . number of public meetings will be
held. 1t will be necessary to have some pro-

a committee has that matter specially in charge.

o member OF the committee to arrange for the
next meeting of that BODY. DR.. Bartlett has
enough energy to be the pastor of great big
active church and good deal left to devote to
any good work that comes to him. He made up
his mind when it was decided to hold the
meeting here that it would be, as far as the
local arrangements were concerned, a great
success He threw himself into the work of
preparation with characteristic energy and it
Is not too much to say that he has been the
animating spirit of the entire movement Sew
ersl months ago he began to map out plan OF
campaign. He consulted with his board Of
elders and with the other officers of the church,
and when he had determined upon the divisions
of the small army he proposed to organize he
began to pick his men, He had his own church
to choose from, well as all the Presbyterian
churches OF the city, and the list embraced a
large number Of those who are active in the So
cial and business life Of the city As the event
has proved. he had good material at his COM
mand and he selected wisely.
