made in regard to the life and habits
of the people. These illustrations were
many of them taken by Mrs. Bradt
in her wanderings about the people of
the earth in company of her husband.
Dr.. Stearns' Class.
DIR. Wallace r. Stearns of Fargo coll
lege who is one of the speakers at the
| meetings had his class at 3 o'clock this
afternoon on Expository Bible study
and as usual the doctor was most
entertaining and instructive. He has
| been a faithful attendant at all of the
meetings. DR.. Stearns yesterday
afternoon before DR.. Sherer left for
his home in Illinois presented the lat
ter with a hbation cup which came
from Egypt and which is said to be
$500 years old. DR.. Stearns who is
the vice president for American of the
Egyptian Exploration society, has
very many valuable curios from that
far away country, many Of them al
most priceless in their value. 1t is
needless to say that DR.. Sherer very
highly appreciated the gift. AS he has
| completed his work in the city he left
for home. He has been one of the
most entertaining of the speakers Of
the movement. This afternoon a lee
ture was given by DR.. W. H. Reherd
| of Waterloo.
The Lecture Tonight.
This evening there will be another
mass meeting in the First Presby-
terrain church when DR.. Reherd will
be the speaker and he will again talk
on The Doctor and the Missionary
Field. He spent one year in studying
the work OF the medicine men in the
countries to which missionaries have
been assigned and his address will be
along those lines. He will tell of
visiting the different hospital plants
and the address will be illustrated.
Then there will be an address by DR..
Fife on The Philanthropy of Mis-
sions. This evening it is hoped to
have a large choir furnish the music
and all of the churches Of the city
will be expected to furnish singers.
A Large Audience.
Last evening an audience that flI-
! ed every nook and orner of the First
! Presbyterian church was present at
the missionary movement convention,
and so great was the crowd that it
has been decided from now on to lock
the doors after the church has been
filled, but of course those who have
| registered and paid the required 50
will have the first choice of the seats.
| The principal speaker OF the evening
was DR.. Luccock Of Illinois, VINO has
been a great traveller. and he had for
his subject a Trip to the Holy Land
and this was grandly illustrated by
lantern slides. The doctor took his
hearers right away from America and
led them through the various places
he had visited. His description of
the storm on the sea was a vivid word
picture that was thrilling, telling of
the roaring Of old ocean and the lash
ing of the sea and of how the great
waves swept over the ship.
In the Holy Land.
Arriving at the Holy Land he talk
ed of lana and said that the party
came to a church over which was in
scribed I'VE Worship Where Jesus
Walked" He talked of Jerusalem, of
the Mount Of Olives and gave many
incidents Of he trip that were truly
interesting. He talked OF the Jews
who were oppressed there and of their
wailings at what was said to be the
site of the walls of the Solomon
temple. He CAV a brief history of
the taking of Jerusalem by the Turks,
and he said that a christian of that
part of the country has a greater con
ception of christianity than we have.
He said that Judea wasn't much of q
place and that the road to Judea led
to no where, but that the road to GAL
ljlee led to everywhere. DR.. Luccock
took up the industries of the country
and gave a history of the life and hab-
it's of the people. He is an eloquent
speaker and he held the closest at
tention Of his hearers throughout the
lecture. The views that were given
were Of a high character, and were
most interesting.
His Last Talk.
DR.. Sherer OF Illinois gave his last
talk Of the session last night and he
had for his subject Scenes in Syria,
where he had travelled much and had
been located for some time. His
description of the home life of the.
people of Syria was entertaining and
then he went into the church life. He
said that the different christian sets
in Jerusalem were always in a turmoil
as they were all envious of one an
other in their efforts to get nearer and
nearer to the sacred sites on which to
build their churches, and he said that
at times SO fierce did these contests
become that soldiers had to be ever
present.
During the evening session last
evening Paul Bunce and Miss Games
rendered vocal selections and they
| were accompanied on the piano by
Hubert Beard. son OF DR.. r. A. Beard
Of the First Congregational church of
this city. The music was much ap-
preciated.
Very Good Attendance.
Rev. F. G. Rehner and the other
members OF the First Presbyterian
church who brought the great ag-
gregation of missionaries to the city
are very much pleased with the sue
cess OF the meetings so far and they
are more than pleased over the fact
that the interest is growing and keep
ing UP. There were a goodly number
of persons registered for the entire
course yesterday and 1t is believed
that there will be more today. It

big advantage in being registered.
