 The opening session of the T.aymen's convention-a part of the grea: move ment to evangelize the world in the present generation-was attended by about $50 business men of Phoenix and delegates from other cities of Arizona. Each plate of the four long tables eX- tending the length of O'Neill hall was taken and many others who came in late took seats at the sides.
 Men of all beliefs and denominations were present. and all seemed united in the general cause of missions and the advancement of Christianity through out the world.
 The convention was presided over by F. C. Dezendorf. chairman of the eX ecutive committee. The address of welcome to the missionaries and the delegates was delivered by Gov. Sloan, and then strong addresses were made by three of the men who have given their time and energy, to the cause of the movement.
 Dinner was served promptly at 6:30 o'clock and an hour later Chairman Dczendorf rose and introduced the gov crnor. In an apt speech Governor Sloan welcomed the delegates and mis- sionaries. He expressed his approval for the movement which lowers all sectional lines and amalgamates all sects- and classes in the enc big effort to follow out the commands of Christ He said that the movement was com mcDdsble in that it would tend to unite the rindividual efforts of the churches in foreign fields and thus accomplish tho utmost results with the least pos sible waste of effort and money
 The Significance of the Layinen's Movement" was fully explained by the next speaker. who was the Rev. A. w. Rider. D.D., Of Oakland. He told those present just what the packers of the movement expected to accomplish. He gave the history of it and told some thing of the men who were interested in it. He said that missions is a mans job" and should be conducted in the same wise manner and with the same energy that men off affairs give to their own private businesses.
 Rev J. P MeNaughton of Smyrna. Turkey. spoke on the subject, The World for Christ in This Generation" He said in part:
 What does this evangelizstion of the world in this generation mean Just this: We shall give every man. woman and child in the world an intel ligent conception of what is mean by the gospel of Christ. We cannot con vert all of them-that is for a higher power-but we can at least follow out the Biblical command. Go ye out into all the world
