Trio Of We'll known Missionary Work.
srs Address Gathering Of Between
400 and 500 Interested PeoPls-Sss-
.ions Hold Will Close With Meeting
Tonight.

An audience OF iUv or SO. most g
them from this city, attended the first
of four missionary conferences, heio
in the Methodist church Thursday
night. Not many fro mthe adjoining
counties attended. but it is probable
that many of the churches of the
neiEhboring towns and communities
will come for the meetings today.
Rev. Wilbur NJ. Clapp. Of Waterloo
DR.. John Y. Aitchison. Of Chicago, and
w. r. johnson. the latter a missionary
to China, composed q team that is here
for the series. Each Of the members
of the team spoke last night.
THE Challenge Of the United Mis-
sionary Campaign" was the subject
of Mr.. C!apps address. He spoke Of the
great things that had challenged the
endeavors OF men in the past; of how
distance and time had challenged men,
and how they had answered the chei-
lenge with the telegraph. the telephone,
and the railway. Always, he said,
strong men Of the nation had come
forward to meet any challenge which
urged on their manhood the initiative
to greater efforts.
Now, he said, foreign and home mis-
sions was challenging the church, and
unless the church accepted the chal-
lenge other forces would take the place
of the church.
Mr.. johnson. who spoke from first
hand knowledge Of conditions in China,
told OF the tremendous influence chris
fianirv and the protestant denomina-
lions were having in the affairs Of the
new republican Of Asia.
The world conditions, as regards mis-
sions was the subject about which Mr..
Aitchison talked. With maps Of China.
Africa. India, and other foreign ma
tions, he illustrated the extent OF the
advances made by missions in these
countries.
Aaron Palmer presided. and pastors
of the churches Of the city were upon
the platform. p. r. Arney led the sing
ing.
Three conferences were held at the
Methodist church today. The first was
this forenoon. A second meeting was
held this afternoon and tonight the
series Will end.
