NOW UP TO MINISTERS

A conference of the pastors and
representatives of several churches
of this city was held in the lecture
room of Simpson Methodist Episco-
pal church last night. Rev. DR..
George G. Wilding, pastor of Simp-
son church, was made chairman,
and Edward r. Proctor, of the First
Presbyterian church, secretary.
Those present at the meeting were
Rev. William H. Bawden and dele
cation of five from the First Baptist;
Rev. James H. Northrup and a dele
cation of five from the First Presby-
terian; Rev. A. E. Elmquist and a
representation of five from the Swe-
dish Congregational; Rev. Dr. Wild
ing and a representation of about ten
from Simpson NJ. E. Rev Carl w.
Hanson, pastor of the Danish NJ. e.
church, and Rev. Louis Nanassy, of
the Magyar Reformed, were unable
to attend, but five members of the
Danish M. E. church were present.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one. The different ideas on holding
a series of evangelistic meetings in
this city were discussed. 1t was at
first suggested to hold meetings in
each of the six churches Then it
was talked of having two large meet
ings, one in Simpson church and the
other in the Presbyterian edifce.
Plans were also discussed for a
large meeting in a central location,
the Auditorium being mentioned as
the most available place. These will
be in the form of union meetings
1t is proposed to have an evangelist,
with probably one or two assistants.
Two men who are being consider
ed are Rev. DR.. Henry Ostrom, of
Wisconsin, and Rev. DR.. Beiderwolff,
of Indiana, both of whom are well
known workers along these lines.
When a vote was taken the Bap-
tist church delegation did not vote,
not having been instructed, said Mr..
Bawden today. There was a sug-
gestion made that the pastors might
be able to carry out the plans, with
out bringing an evangelist here.
The matter was finally left in the
hands of the pastors, who will meet
at the home of Rev. William H.
Bawden in Gordon street at o'clock
this afternoon, to consider dates and
places.
