start off on Sunday in whirlwind fash
ion. Most of the cooperating churches
have decided TO close all day next sun

eclpsed. BY order of the Slough party,
this meeting is confined TO church mem
bers and admission will be by ticket
only. All the members constituting
the party Will be introduced to the
audience ana DR.. Slough is expected 10
have something special to say to the
church people.

for care that tickets get into proper
hands. The demand for tickets has ex-
ceeded the supply and headquarters

and telephone requests for information
about tickets. There is still a small sup
ply at headquarters, but these can only
be supplied 10 pastors or members of
the publicity committee of the various
churches and through them TO the mem
hers. Arrangements will be made also
for supply of tickets being placed in
tine hands of the ushers at the Sunday
morning service. These ushers are Sc
