the fundamental exercises which the
church occupies in the community,
and it seeks to secure the attendance
of all the members of the church at
institutes in order that they may re-
Fceive information along the latest
hnes in the work for boys and men.
Some men in the past, for Instance
In social service, have not come into

program. This movement stands for
a cooperation of efforts, so that ali
men shall get together in presenting
one united front for the promotion Of
righteousness.
One of the great speakers at the
conservation In Carnegie Hall decided
that the Men and Religion Movement
had chartered afresh the career of
Christians. That congress was COM
posed of fourteen hundred OF the most
respected Christian laymen of Canada
and the United States, who for 1--WE
days discussed mems work I'm the
church and also the ungolveable prob
lens of the church. A number of com
missions were appointed consisting OF
leading church men and laymen to
make an investigation into certain
church problems. and the reports of
these commissions we're read at the
conservation congress. The reports
were based on Christian publicity,
which concerns the newspaper publica-
ton of Christian work. No less a per-
son than DR.. Talcott Williams, head
CT the Pulitzer school of journalism
ir Philadelphia, and now of Columbia
University, was the leading man in
this emphasis. There were reports on
the churches, boys work, evangelism,
ice. These reports have now been pub
lished, and will be by far the best liter
allure on these subjects in many years.
"In short, the message of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement is to
bring all the men of~the churches to-
gether in strong and determined at
titude to promote the work of the
Kingdom of God. ..
Work Here In Cooperation. =
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Robins will be
delegated to cooperate with all the
Christian and social agencies I'm Ho-
nolulu during their visit here, and to
secure even greater success than in
the past. Mass meetings of men will
be hid with the evangelistic objective
and two institutes will be conducted
daily to give information on the latest
work for men and boys. All classes of
the community will be reached il pos
sible. Mr.. Robins is a labor union.
man and will endeavor to touch the
great mass of men that belong to the
trade unions"
One of the attractive features that
will accompany Messrs. Smith and
Robins on their tour will be the Inter
national Quartet, perhaps the greatest
aggregation ever gotten together in
the promotion of Christianity. Some
of the members of this organization
have been singing together for the
past twenty years and there is real
treat in store for the music lovers of
Honolulu.
1t should be remembered that this
campaign is largely laymen's move
nent. 1t is the awakening of interest
ir work at home corresponding to the
interest in foreign work expressed in
the laymen's missionary movement.
