Secretary smith Says Omaha Commit
tee Has Done Better Advertise
Ing Than Any Former
Local Organization.

Benjamin L. Smith, secretary OF the
American Christian Missionary society, the
chief oficer Of the convention which will
be In session In Omaha IN October, spent
Sunday in the city on his way from Okla
homa TO the headquarters OF the society in
Cincinnati. He visited the Coliseum and
other places which are to be utilized by
the convention and expressed great salts
faction over the progress made. He was
one Of the secretaries who was not favor
able at first 70 the use Of the Coliseum, but
the plans for it's alteration have caused him
20 change his mind.
Mr.. Smith said that the omaha committee,
more than any local committee in charge of
q convention in many years, had done an
amount Of advertising adequate to the size
of the meeting, and that the Omaha gather
ing was the best advertised convention in
Ehe history Of the church, no part Of the
country having failed to receive notice Of
the gathering. and that It consequently
would probably be attended by more people
than any other.
G. S. Paine, chairman OF the committee,
returned yesterday from Ashland and
Greenwood, where he spoke Sunday, morn
ing and night. At Ashland 100 people have
promised to attend the sessions and one
carload has already been enrolled at Green
wood.
Rev. Harry G. Hill, who attended the
meeting Of the Missouri Missionary society
at Springfield, Mo-, says that from reports
received there Missouri will have the larg-
est delegation at omaha that It has ever
sent to a convention held outside of the
state.
