SOl~ONGOA ! AOlNAk~ ~xlONNI1 NO Eo REV DIR WASHINGTON CHOATE TO SPEAK.
 Rev Washington Choate, D. D., will preach Sunday after next, November 4, in the Congregational church. Dr ChOate is secretary of the Home Mis- sionary society, and will present the cause of Home Missions. He is one of our country's great men and will be gladly heard not only by Congrega- tionalists, but also by people of all de- nominations, or of no church at all. We extend a hearty and cordial invi- tation to all who can come on that day. Remember November 4.
 Rev MT DanfOrth has been spending a strenuous vacation thus far. During the first week he spent the nights at the home Of his parents in Westfeld, N. J. His days, however, were spent in New York and neighboring great manufacturing centerS, where he con- tinued his studies of the lives and con- ditiOnS of the factory labOrerS. In ad. dition to this he dined one evening with Prof Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Ph. D., at his home in BrOnXville, N. Y. Dr Wheeler is one of America'S great est naturalists, and has been professor in the University of Chicago and also in the University of Texas, and now vertebrate zoology in the American
 Museum of Natural History in New York. Mir Danforth also attended surgical operations in St Luke's hos pital, and went to hear Gypsy Smith, the great London evangelist. But perhaps one of the best achievements of this strenuous week is the securing of the services of Dr Washington Choate, who will represent the cause of home missions in the Congregation al church on November 4. Dr Choate is not only the secretary of the Con- gregational Home Missionary society, but is also one of the great men of the denomination and of the nation. It will be treat to all who can come to hear him.
 November 4 will be Communion Sunday and also the first Sunday in MT :Danforth's second year as pastor of the church. As Dr ChOate has long been a personal friend of Dr J. R.
 Danforth, the pastors father, it will be very appropriate to have him with us on that day.
