As has been heretofore explained. the
object of these meetings is to arouse
more enthusiasm for Christian work
among the Methodist people and TO enlist
interest In certain plans for church ex-
tension adopted at a meeting of ministers
and laymen of the denomination held Just
previous to the converting OF the last
annual conference. 1t was then deter
mined to held a monster mass-meeting
Immediately after the adjournment Of
conference. at which Bishop Haygood
should be the principal speaker. This
plan, for several good reasons, had to be
abandoned, and the two meetings to be
held next Sunday evening are to be con.
sidered In the light OF substitutes for
the one at which 1t was hoped 10 have an
address from the Bishop.
