MEETING
LAYMEN,S CONVENTION TO BE
HELD AT MEMPHIS FEB. 70.
Generation-This Is the Only
Generation We Can Serve.

The Executive Committee of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement hereby is
sues an enthusiastic call to the men of
the territory adjacent to the city OF
Memphis, Tenn, to meet in general con-
vention in the city of Memphis, Feb.
10, 1910, for the purpose OF considering
the significant signs of the times and to
adopt measures for a more earnest mis-
%sionary policy, and to assume our re-
sponsibiity in the supreme task of max
ing Christ known to this generation.
The Movement a Modern Uprising.
The movement of which this organiza-
ton is to become a part is youthful in
years, but mighty in it's scope and power.
Launched by a group of business men in
the city of New York about three years
ago, the movement has grown to large
and ever-increasing proportions. No eff
fort like it has been exhibited within the
history of the church during the last
century. Overspreading our own coun-
try in unparalleled success, with rapid
strides it has stepped across the border
into Canada and swept across the seas
into Great Britain, and the men of the
Christian world are banding together for
the conquest of Christ. God is calling
out the reserves, the men of the world,
for the conflict, and from every section
they are responding with an enthusiasm
never equalled. They are spreading, ris-
ing up to do their part in the most gi
gantic work God has committed to men.
The plan proposed in the general policy
of the movement is not untried. In the
Dominion of Canada a campaign extend
ing from ocean to ocean was conducted
last year, and a nation was stirred from
center to circumference. The testimony
of those who shared in this great enter
prise is most thrilling. So marked was
the achievements in this united advanced
movement, that d similar campaign was
proposed for the United States, extend
