Memphis. TENNESSEE. Great in
terest is centering here in the com.
ing convention Of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement of the Southern
Presbyterian church to be held in
this city February 1920 An excep-
tiOnally strong lot of men have been
announced on the program and It
promises to be a convention OF an
exceptionally high order Those who
have attended previous conventions
held by this movement in Birming-
ham and Chattanooga testify that
they have been meetings of great
power and they have demonstrated in
no uncertain terms that the church
has not lost its power with men.
Among the many important ques-
tons that are to be considered by
this convention may be mentioned the
following:
The Country Church.
This mighty national defense will
be prominently discussed before the
Men have been engaged
who will bring a genuine soul-stirring
message.

ures that will be of the utmost inter
est to every man who has the wei
fare Of the nation at heart.
Federation.
Here is the subject that has vast
possibilities. Why should not the
churches in this country get together
as they are doing with such wonder
full and blessed results in the Foreign
Missionary fields of the church? We
shall hear from close students of this
subject.
The Anglo saxons of the Mountains,
Men who have come out of the
mountains and who are among the
leaders of our church will properly
emphasize the needs of this great
field, pre-eminently ours at this time.
The Source and Supply Of the
Ministry.
No convention would be complete
without a careful consideration of this
question. We stand today in need OF
strong, consecrated leaders. The law
and medicine are overcrowded. Why
are not more of our strong men go
ing into the ministry? Every man
can help remedy this condition.
Evangelism.
This will ring out as the keyword
of the convention. The development
and maintenance of the evangelistic
spirit in the church; pastoral evangel-
ism; personal evangelism; each sub
ject to be treated by one who is able
to speak out of his own experience.

Railroad Rates and Hotel
Accommodations.
The railroads have granted rates
on the lowest basis ever granted to
religious gatherings, which insures
more satisfactory rates from every
point. and for this reason it is be-
iieved that many will attend. In fact,
it is expected that the auditorium will
be taxed with its utmost capacity and
the leaders are urging all delegates
to send in their registration cards
promptly in order that a seat may
be reserved for them. Every avail
able seat in the auditorium is expect
ed to be taxed and they are going
to be carefully reserved for the dele
gates. Auxiliary meetings for the
benefit of the citizens of Memphis are
being planned for every evening, as
it is not thought it will be possible
for all who will want to attend to
get in the auditorium at one time.

Owing 10 the fact that most OF the con-

On the contrary, chief attention was given
