UNION EvANCElISTIC CAMPAIGN
Rev. Dr. Henry w. Slough Secured The Evangelist Expected Services will Begin October 10-Meetine Selects Officers and Committees.

For nearly three months the pastors of several of the local churches have had under consideration a union evan gelistic campaign that should be be- gun early this fall. After no little in- vestigation an invitation was extended to Rev. Henry W. Slough DID,, of Wheaton, H., to come as the leader In this movement. Dr. Slough has been engaged in evangelistic work for many years. During the years of the recent past he has been associated with Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman. It has been per- haps in this affiliated work that he has become more widely known, for last winter during the great Chapman meetings in Boston Dr. Slough had charge of the Cambridge campaign. Here he surpassed even the most san- guine hopes of his supporters leading in large and successful movement. Early in the spring he went to New Bedford. Mass, a community which was hypercritical of the evangelistic methods of the day. Here he won a signal victory, transforming criticism into ardent support and gaining the cooperation of churches refusing to affiliate in the movement prior to his coming. This speaks volumes as to the sanity of his methods and worth of his message.
 pr. Slough having accepted the per- SoHdi HINildtiOu Ol iOL d IeW OI the To ,al ministers, it seemed expedient to secure the support of the workers in the churches who are interested in a religious awakening in the community In pursuance with this opinion by personal invitation some thirty rep resentative men of local churches met Monday evening with the pastors of their churches in the vestry of the Central Baptist church. Dr. l.. l.. West as chairman of the local min- isters conference called the meeting
