N D. Sperry, Mr.. H. N. Kochersperger,
NJ r NJ, wy
IN dee, Mr.. Joseph Porter and several Of
N the leading Congregational clergymcn
Nh of the city and of Yale university.
The Hyperion theater has been Sc
Il cured for the entire sessions, and the
n committee find even. this great building
" inadequate for the plans which they
N hope to carry out. One-third return
Il railroad rates have been secured for
III the entire country, and thousands of
Ill members Of the Congregational church.
SsA es which are SO numerous in New Eng
s# land, as well as people interested in
8M foreign mission work from all denomi-
4 nations will avail themselves of this
NJ occasion.
N There is @ false rumor in circulation
NJ that Dr. Storrs, the venerable president
of the board, would not be present this
NJ year. 1t arose from his recent intima-
sM ton that he could not accept re-elec-
NV ton for another year on account of his
l# age, which makes it necessary to with
4 draw from some of the activities which
s. have hitherto occupied him. He will
& preside. however, as usual. His adj
ME- dress has been for years one of the
NJ most important features of the meeting.
#a# Missionaries and specialists will be
VIE heard from the twenty different fields
u of operation of the board in various
parts Of the world The most impor-
a 81 tant Of these fields are in Turkey, and
some interesting developments may be
N expected from that quarter
The committee on entertainment have
zf already received assurances from a,
& great number of people that they will
Wfbe present, and the hotel room will I'M
Undoubtedly be inadequate for the accom-
mediation os all who will come.
ia An appeal has been made in all the
8H congregational churches Of the city for
$private rooms to be put at the disposal
of the committee for the use of guests
"a &Nho cannot be otherwise provided for.
