A committee of the state military board
was in Owosse yesterday morning looking
over the advantages of Owosso for the COM
ing encampment of the state troops. The
committee consisted of Gen. Haines. of Port
Huron; COL Green, of Detroit, and Col.
NorcrOss, of Menominee. They were also
accompanied by the quartermaster general,
Gen. Delvin. of Jackson. The committee
was well satisfied with the advantages of
Owosso. The grounds shown were be-
tween the Corunna road and the river,
near the street car barns. Lansing,
Battle Creek and other places are after
the encampment and the location will be
decided upon today by the state board. AS
Owosso is centrally located and has first
class railroad facilities, a great crowd would
doubtless be in attendance, which would
leave large amount of money in the hands
of local dealers.
The Michigan Congregationalist speaks
as follows of the gentleman who is to occupy
the Congregational pulpit next Sunday:
Thomas S. Suleeba, M. d., was with us in
Eaton Rapids on Sunday, Jan. 2sth, and
gave us two strong missionary addresses.
DIR. Suleeba is an Assyrian by race, native
of Diarbekir, Mesopotamia, and a son of
one of the first converts made by the mis-
sionaries of the A. b. G. f. M. in that city.
He has been in this country eight years and
a half, during which time he has learned
our language and worked his own way
through college and through Rush Medical
School in Chicago. He is now trying to
earn money by lecturing to procure medi-
cal and surgical outfit and means to take
him back to Mesopotamia to engage in
Christian work there as medical mission
airy. He has very high endorsements from
DIR. Hitchcock, Secretary at Chicago Of the
A. B. c. F. M. and many others, both as to
his personal character and his ability as q
public speaker; and he fully bears out his
recommendations. Nobody has ever before
80 stirred our people in the line of foreign
missions as he did. The church that Sc
cures him for Sunday addresses will have q
rare privilege.
