every day, except Sunday, in the
Detroit opera house, commencing
Monday. Each day there will be a
preliminary song service starting az

will be completed by 1890 o'clock.

uniting for this purpose. and has
heretofore met with a hearty re-
Spouse from the public. The meet
ings held last year drew large num-
bers of people who welcomed the
opportunity for a quiet half-hour Of
worship in the middle of the day.
The first speaker will be Bishop
william Fftzjames Oldham. OF New
York. who will be heard Monday,
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday.
Bishop Oldham Is one Of the out
standing figures of Methodism and
besides being a pulpit orator OF fine

knowledge OF It's peculiar problems
winning for him position OF ac-

There has been little OF the COM
monplace or conventional in Bishop
Oldham's career. He was born In
Bangalore, India. son OF one OF
the Official families in the service Of
the British. His early education was
obtained at Madras. India, and un-
der the guidance Of his father, an
eager student and great reader. he
acquired at an early age an excep-
tional knowledge of English liter.
ature. While teacher In one OF
the Indian schools he came under
the influence OF Bishop Taylor, a
pilgrim missionary who was holding
series OF meetings In India. This
influence changed the course OF his
life and led him into the church
as a preacher of the gospel.
He came to America and took up
his preparation for the Methodist
ministry in Allegheny college and
completed his professional work In
Boston university.
His life In India and knowledge
OF the people and their needs made
him particularly sympathetic and
valuable for mission work. Among
his achievements are the founding

II was In the latter year that
Bishop Oldham gave up his active
connection with the Episcopate 20
become secretary OF the board OF
foreign missions. He made this
personal sacrifice in order to help
advance the cause of the missions,
which had at that time reached
something OF crisis. IL is not at
all unlikely that Bishop Oldham will
be returned 20 his active position
with the espiscopate at the next
general conference.
