CHURCHMEN PLAN
FOR CONVENTION
Arrangements Are Being Made
to Entertain Many Laymen
Missionaries.

At the meeting Of representative church.
men at the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday after
noon to consider plans for the laymen
missionary convention to be held in Salt
Lake next March it was resolved that
each delegation report to its respective
church and request authority to go for
ward with the plans for the convention
The financial committee, appointed
week ago to consider the possible cost
Of entertaining the thousands Of laymen
Christians who will be here in March,
reported, through +. b. Hammond, reli-
gious director of the Y. NJ. c. A, that
the cost would be within the means of
the various churches which will be in on
the undertaking.
Rev. Ernest A. Hall. recently appoint
ed western field secretary for the Pres
bytrian church in America. addressed the
meeting, choosing for his subject the eX-
tent of the laymen missionary movement
in the east. He declared that the move
ment was significant Of the fact that
the Christian world was coming TO real
ize that missionary work was q duty
of every Christian, and especially the
men.
Rev. Hall called attention to the fact
that the great majority of Christian mis-
siOnaries, both in foreign countries and
in America, are women. The laymen mis-
sionary idea Is merely the recognition of
a Christian duty, he said
o. d. Mcguire of the Tiff Methodist
church also addrC ssed the gathering. He
told of the importance of the convention
20 Salt Lake and urged that the plans
for the entertainment of those who will
attend be made on a large scale.

THE ORPHEUM.

Most of the really good acts at the Or
pheum this week have been seen in Salt
Lake before, but they are well worth
seeing again, and the bill as a whole, is
a pleasing one. John Hyams and Leila
Mcintyre in The Quakeress'' are even
better than ever, and in the sketch in
which the demure Quaker miss IS initiated
into the mysteries of the stage Miss Nc
Intyre introduces several character songs
that should be ClasSed as the hest and
daintiest bits Of vaudeville given in Salt
Lake this season.
Catherine Hayes and Hazel Johnson in
"A Dream of Baby Days are the same
jolly pair and their act is as good as
when first seen here, which, by the way,
is good enough to merit the generous ap-
plauSe given last night. Chesterfield"
the posing horse, with Rose Royal, give
one of the mOs5 pleasing animal acts on
the circuit. The horse is a beauty and
the ace is immensely popular with all
lovers of animals.
Charles Barry and Hulder Halvers open
the bill with an amusing sketch which
serves to put the audience in good humOT,
and John We'll does some clever sleight-
Of-hand stunts, accompanied by some
more or less humorous conversation. The
De Saucti quartet proved a disappointment
fro man artistic point of view, although
the "GloWOrm' son was well I eCeiyed.

about team, and their acrobatic work is
a real novelty.
The moving pictures are about as usual.

In Paris the government mad taken
elaborate precautions TO prevent rioting
The procession passed through double
