the plans for it's alteration have caused him
70 change his mind.
Mr.. Smith said that the Omaha committee.
more than any local committee in charge of
a 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
the history Of the church, no part Of the
country having failed to receive notice Of
The gathering. and that 1t consequently
would probably be attended by more people
than any other.

Greenwood, where he spoke Sunday. morn
ing and night. At Ashland 100 people have
promised to attend the sessions and one
