dresses Pastors at Morning Meeting

Ministers numbering about a hun
dred, from towns in four or five nei gh-
boring counties, arrived here this
morning at the invitation of local pas
tors cooperating in the Slough cam
paign, and met with DR.. Slough at tho
Market Square Presbyterian church.
Evangelistic work in general was dis
cussed and particular reference was
made to the work now being done in
this city. The secretary of the Interna-
tional Association of Evangelists, who
has come here especially to speak to
the convention of ministers, told those
present what he considered to be their
duty in evangelistic work, urging them
to themselves live good lives, and TO
pray more sincerely.
Big Dinner For Preachers
The meeting closed at noon and the
ministers went in a body to the Ridge
Avenue Methodist church, where big
dinner awaited them, prepared by the
women s work committee and the wom-
en- ushers. The pies were big fea-
ture of the meal, appearing in great
abundance and disappearing with won
derful rapidity.
After dinner, the preachers march
ed to the tabernacle, where they were
addressed by DR.. Slough. In the com.
| pany were a number of laymen from
Lancaster who are making the trip
here with the ministers to see the
evangelist in action and report on his
methods in their city where he will
open campaign in several months.
Following this afternoon IS meeting
at the tabernacle, the visitors will re-
turn to the Ridge Avenue church for
supper. Those who remain in the city
over night will be provided with lodg-
ing places and will be assigned to
homes which are open to them, accord
ing to denominations.
Campaign Expenses Are Met
The $4,000 required to be raised
to meet the cost of the six weeks cam
paign has now all been assured, accord
ing to the treasurer of the executive
committee, MrI Heffelfnger There are
pledges amounting to about $1,000
which have not as yet been paid, but
when this money is received, it is
thought that the total will be over the
900 mark.
Vouchers on the treasurer for cur
rent expenses have of course been paid
as presented, and by the close of the
campaign the $4,000 will be prac-
tically all expended, and most of ID
will again be in circulation here in
Harrisburg.
Offerings for Benevolence
Offerings may be taken at the tab.
ernacle several nights, for benevolences,
