held tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock
in the tent, at the corner Of SIwenu ae,,
and Grace Streets, the Rev. P: W. Phlll-
pot one of the leading preachers or can
ada. will deliver, an address.
Rev Mr.. Phillpottis one OF the strong
est speakers that has been in Richmond
for years. He is often called long dis
tances in the United States to make
single address A great treat is in
store for the men Of Richmond.
One hundred more sets have been add
ed to the tents capacity On last Sunday
there were GOO men in attendance. The
usual Y. NJ C. A. choir will be on hand
MISSIONARIES AT CONVENTION.
Three missionaries from as many of
the great mission fields OF the world, are
in attendance and have been speaking
at the Alliance Convention: also one who
is under appointment to Anam, probably
the darkest and most neglected and un-
known corner of earth. where twenty
five million people have never yet had a
missionary.
Miss Mary Mullen, from Africa the
Soudan) has told of some of her expe-
riences IN that dark land. In all the
great Soudan region extending across
the north central part of Africa. there
are 100000 people. The Alliance have
several stations and a number of mis-
sionaries in the southern part. They have
also an even larger. Congo Free State.
Rcv. Carl. Erickson has told many OF the
sad facts connected with the recent fam
ines in India. How many dead mother
has been seen by the roadside with @
baby cl:nging to her cold breast. How,
when they came and the missionaries
gave them food. they were often so far
gone that they fell dead while eating.
Carts had to go around and gather up
the dead bodies and cart them into pits,
where fires Were kept constantly burn
ing.
The Christian Church has had a legacy
from those awful times, viz: $4,000 or
Enans. The alliance has from twelve to
fifteen thousand of these. It costs, only
fifteen dollars (s15) per year to care for
one of them. Who will provide for one
of these little ones. and thus, perhaps,
have share in future Bible woman. or
evangelist, who will turn many to Christ?
They are the hope Of India. The alliance
has about seventy missionaries in three
of the western provirtceS with about
from fifteen to seventeen million people.
Rev. Robert Clover, M. D., from China.
had two large maps with him-one of
China as a whole, on which he pointed
Out the location of the alliance work in
the central. western and southern ports.
The other was a map of the Province Of
Quang ST. in the extreme south, where
he has been for the last seven years, and
where the alliance was first to enter, and
has several stations among eight millions
of people, He told of the very remark
able. and interesting story Of the open
Ing of the province and of several of the
Individual cities
The other speakers have been giving
some remarkably fine Bible teaching on
various lines. Rev. P. W. Phillpot has
already proved his reputation as one CT
the foremost evarselists of the continent
to be true. The large tent was filled
Thursday night, and he spoke with great
power and effect. Definite work was
dGnc In the after meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Phillpot preached again in
the tent, corner of Twentieth and Grace
Streets. at 7:45 last night. The other
workers and many local ministers were
present and assisted. This morning Mr..
Phillpot will give an illustrate dtalk on
the "Spirit-Filled Life. In the after
noon at $3.50 Rev. J. H Earle will
give the most realistic lecture on "Anam-
the Land. the People. the Needs" Mr.
Philipot will again speak in the evening.
The closing Sunday is always the grea
missionary day at alliance conventions.
and special arrangements are being made
for two large mass meetings, besides
other appointments. Of which announce
n;ents will be made later
