Bachelor Girls club last evening as
a farewell party to Miss Eva Case of

PLAN CAMPAIC
FOR LAY WORK
Tri- City Cooperative Commit
tee Holds Interesting Meet
ing in Davenport.
OUTLINE OF THE MOVEMENT
Protestant Churches United in Re-
ligious Enterprise That is to
Bring Convention.

AnEenthusiastic meeting of the Tr1-
City Cooperative committee of the
National Laymen's movement was held
last evening at ST. Johns Methodist

testant churches in the three cities.
This was the first meeting of the COM
mittee to be held for the purpose of
making preparations for the conven-
ton which is to be held at the Coliseum

l, 200 delegates to this convention, 600
of whom will be from the tri-cities and
the remainder from the surrounding
country within a radius of 100 miles.
Further meetings will be held, one in
Rock Island some time next week, and
the other in Moline March 81. The
Rock Island meeting will probably be
held at the First Methodist church,
and the Moline meeting will be held at
the Swedish Lutheran church. A few
days before the convention a final
meeting will be held in Davenport.
In a General Movement.
Conventions, such as is to be held in
Davenport, are being conducted all
over the country, and are so arranged
that most every man DESTROYS of at
tending will not have to travel more
than 100 miles. A few places in Ari-
IONA. New Mexico and Nevada are
not included in the convention meet
ings. These smaller district conven
tons are being held in preparation for
the national convention which is TO be
held in Chicago in May. There will be
Is delegates from the Davenport con-
vention TO the national meeting. The
speakers for these smaller conventions
have already been engaged. They
will be sent out from the headquarters
of the association and have proven
their worth in almost so conventions.
Rev. Robert Atkinson, who is execu-
tive secretary of the committee, pre-
sided at the meeting last evening.
The speakers were DR.. Leroy NJ. Cof-
man. pastor OF the First Presbyterian
church of Davenport, and H. E. Van
Duzer of Rock Island.
DR.. Coffman said in part: "a great
number of the church people of this
country refuse TO aid III the support of
foreign missions because of two rea-
sons, There are enough heather at
home, and our efforts should be con-
fined to this country. The other rea-
son, or rather excuse, is, We contrib
ute to the support of the missionary
who was living in luxury and on a
high scale
I'VE will answer their first objec- |
ton first by numbers. There are a |
few million heather in this country, /
probably 100000. In the foreign |
countries there are thousands of mil |
lions. Shall we confine our efforts to /
the paltry number here, or send the /
missionary abroad to the larger field? .
The people who do not belong to
church or any religious body in this
country are voluntarily pagan, where
as the heather of foreign countries are
inVountarily pagan.

attendance was very small There ap.
pears to be little interest in the Exchange
in Crescent City. But it will come.
Mr.. Burton is business man. He
makes his points tersely and rapidly He
explained the necessity of organization
and the Exchanges plan of work, and
argued that only by organization could

be brought to its old time profitable
ness. The News regrets it cannot give

the greater regret that it could not have
been heard by every orange grower in
this section.
That he understands somewhat of the
difficulties of the local organization was
apparent by his remarks concerning it,
which were in the nature of advice to
get together. The Crescent City Ex-
change is at low ebb. What the fault Is
