the Grace NJ. T. church of Houghton

cock Baptist church, Will have charge
of the meeting and win deliver the
principal address. Other short adj
dresses will follow by various church
Representatives.
Rev. II. c. Shaw of the Grace NJ.
Il. church, said this morning that he
was not DESTROYS that the meeting
should result in an organization and
thought this was improbable. but
could not state definitely what trend
the movement would take.
The htst meeting was held at the
Presbyterian church OF Houghton last
Sunday. II was called for the purpose
OF promoting a better acquaintance
among the male members of the var
ious CONGREGATIONS, but from the short
addresses delivered and the interest
shown il is probable that out of it will
grow a movement Of much importance
It is believed that by continued ac-
quaintance and an interchange of ideas
the entire community will be greatly
benefited.
Rev. curzon Returns.
Rev. j. r. CurZon, who leaves his
charge as rector of Trinity church for
Chicago on March l to take up his du-
ties as secretary of the fifth mission
airy district Of the Episcopal church.
returned yesterday from Columbus,
Ohio where he attended the Laymen's
Missionary convention this week
Rev. Curzon says that the meeting
was a very enthusiastic one and would
mean much TO the cause of foreign
mission in this country. one of the
most interesting takers was DR.. Gile,
the famous explorer, who delivered
a lecture on China and the value of
the missionary in civilizing that coun-
try. He said during the course of his
lecture: '"The greatest gift America
has given to China, among the many
is the missionary.
Rev. Curzon also talked with j.
Laymen's Missionary Movement on the
subject of missions. Mr. White asked
about the copper country i'm view of
holding convention of the Laymens
Missionary movement here this sum-
mer. Mr.. Curzon recommended Cali
umet as the most suited for such
convention, stating that the Palestra
was large enough 10 hold the crowds
and that Calumet was the largest
populated city i'm the upper peninsula,
conveniently located in the center of
a large surrounding population and
provided with convenient means or
travel Mr.. Curzon says that Mr.. White !
will probably take the matter up with
Calumet people with "a view to holding
convention there i'm the near future
Another convention viii probably be
held at Marquette this summer.
