AZ
Some questions can only be answered
| in the negative, this is one, ''Is there
any state association that will have
| two greater attractions than DR.. Gra-
ham Taylor and DR.. David Beaten?"
-
| The American Home Missionary
Society will have an advocate in Rev.
Charles w. Shelton. Birmingham,
Conn. We are reliably told that he is
''a first class speaker and a delightful
man."
Eloquence of diction, beauty of ex-
preston, coupled with pathos and force,
| these are some of the features of DR..

at the close of the Association. "Scot-
land IN Story and in Song" is the SUBJ
ject.

Cronin, of Kansas City, Mo-, to repre-
sent the Congregational Sunday school

had.

they are both excellent speakers. Truly
the lines have fallen unto US In pleasant
places.
~
| One of the happiest statements we
| can make is that Rev. DR.. Beaton, Lin
coin Park Congregational church, Chi
cago, is to be with Us. To say that DR..
Beaton's presence will be a treat, an
inspiration and a great attraction, is a
conservative estimate. We can assure
him of a genuine welcome to our his
toTic state.
Rev. Linus Blakesley, D. D. for more
than II years the pastor of the First
Congregational church, Topeka, says,
81 am sure we can advertise a grand
time for all who go. am glad there is

ture room of the church. Mr.. w. E.
Carr has charge of the concert. They
are to be assisted by other local talent.
The concert is to consist of double
? Quartetts, quartets, and duets, solos,
instrumental music. etc. We expect
our concert and reception to be one of
the happiest features of the Association.
Come and see if we are right In being
proud of the musical talent of our city.

II Think of the multitudinous duties of
? a college profession In Chicago. Think
of what IT means to be the pastor of a
