Grinnell. Jan. 1A.-The attendance
upon the brotherhood meeting at the
Congregational church last evening
was exceptionally large and there was
not a dull moment from the beginning
Of the line formation for lunch until
the late motion to adjourn. Missionary
meetings are deemed by many men to
be dry affairs" but this one unfolded
something new with each turn Of the
wheel. A decidedly home" mission
flavor was injected into tho business
session when an appeal was made to
the membership to stand behind tho
trustees Of the church in their at
tempts- t6 raise the deficit IN last years
expense apportionment as we'll az the
budget prepared for the coming year.
After thorough discussion, in which It
was made plain that only those Of the
members who affiliated with the church
were thus called upon, the duty was
assumed and committee was appoint
ed to work with the trustees, with
full power Of self enlargement. Rev.
p. A. Johnson. state secretary Of the
missionary field Of Iowa, presented tho
subject Of 1.-The Rural Church and So
cial Service" with such force and clear
ness az made it a living question. ny
means Of the large numbers Of pictures
thrown upon the screen actual condi-
tons were made plain and the changes
shown in communities where unity in
religious work and the making Of the
church social center had taken place
was very surprising and inspiring. The
work Of the entire evening was credit
to the Missionary committee and q
great encouragement for future ag.
gressive work.
