CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY RALLY
Annual Session in Favor OF Foreign
Mission Meets at Omaha
First Church.

The annual foreign missionary rally OF
the Christian church, Including representa-
tives OF churches of eastern Nebraska and
western Iowa within radius of fifty miles
of Omaha. is in session at First Christian
church, Nineteenth sn91o Farnam streets.
The meeting opened at yerSesterday morn
ing with devotional exercises participated
in by. about 100 church men and women.
The audience room is hung with maps and
charts Illustrating the progress of foreign
missions and the general status of the
work. The session is purely educational,
there being no business and the program
consisting of addresses on the various
phases of foreign mission work by pastors
OF different churches. President Mclean
of Cincinnati of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Christian church presided dur
ing the program. In brief preliminary
address he urged that it was impossible for
anyone to oppose foreign missions who
rightly understood the movement and that
it il for church members TO make 1t un-
derstood.
"A Plea for Our Lives was the subject
OF an address by Rev. Isaac Elder Of Ham

North Side Christian church spoke of

and he held that churches could do no bet
ter than 10 employ the missionary supplies
put out by the board as means of gather
ing these funds. He advocated the use of
the charts as mute argument for the work
that has been accomplished and still needs
10 be done. The great problem that con-
fronts the workers, he believes. Is how 10
reach all the members of all the churches,
calling attention to the fact that less than
half of the churches contributing 20 mis-
sions are giving 10 foreign missions. He
reminded the ministers of their RESPONSE
bilty in educating their congregations by
their sermons and of the power of the SER
mon TO emphasize the responsibility OF the
individual disciple OF Christ in the evan
gelization of the world.

who is having to stand for interviews by

IL l do not collect this money, it will be

there is the scavenger tax department, the
work of which The Bee has outlined very
fully heretofore. If il should come to a
showdown where the force allowed is not

bend that the board will compel me TO go

viii be cut as directed. and IT will affect
only two or three men. No other move will
be made by me pending the decision OF the
consolidation of the treasures and other
questions now pending in the supreme
court"
Small echoes OF dissatisfaction are heard
here and there, where a clerk or some
other employe has been let out by the
action of the commissioners; but these
will not linger long about the corridors.
The county plumber and the county car
penter. each drawing $40 a month, have
known for some time that their positions

prised badly as might otherwise have
