At a meeting OF the Ministers Union this
morning the exhibitions of "Gaiety GirI'
pictures on the billboards and in the win
dows came up for discussion that was
more than spirited. A resolution was
adopted protesting against the show bills.
Lottery schemes resorted to by various
merchants were also denounced as grow
ing evil. One radical reformer said that
chances were offered almost every con-
ceivable article, and declared that he knew
minister of the city who had won
gasoline stove in a rattle. The next sub
ject that came up for consideration was
the Sunday morning papers. The ministers
were all of the opinion that it was wrong
to allow any notice of a church service
to appear in Sunday paper and a COM
mittee was appointed to visit Major Hud-
wishes and allow church notices to be
published in his Sunday paper. Rev. T.
w. Harris of the Westminster Presby-
terrain church was appointed chairman of
the committee. Col. Hogeland came in
about this time and six of the ministers
Immediately found business elsewhere.
Only about II were left to hear the friend
of the newsboy explain his scheme to
build reformatories and homes for the
everywhere homeless newsboy at a salary
not yet determined upon. Col HogelanI
asked the Union to give him a letter of
endorsement and further suggested that
contributions from the various churches
would be thankfully received. The secre-
tary was instructed to give the letter ask
ed for but there was no response to the
plea for funds.
