CONVENTION OF LAYMEN.

Three thousand men are expected
to meet in Columbia, February 60.
1t will be great convention of lay
men of all denominations, met to
study the relation of church to the
new conditions throughout the world.
Churches are composed of laymen;
laymen support the churches; lay
men support the missionary enter
prises of the church-now laymen
will meet to survey the field, to learn
what is being done, and what ought
to be done. Able speakers will ad-
dress the laymen and on themes that
are compelling to their interest and
timeliness. Such addresses are dis
tinctly worth while and would repay
a long trip; but along with the in
formation and the appeal there is
other benefit-a broader outlook,
quickened interest, stimulus to more
active participation in the work of
the local church as the source of
power. That is worth rejecting on.
The laymen are not undertaking any
new thing; they are just trying to
see. 1t is true, probably, that most
laymen have been rather half hearted
in their efforts because they knew
but little of the work of the church
beyond the Sunday sermon and the
weekly prayer-meeting. Such con-
vention as that in Columbia will
bring to laymen when they are most
receptive a view of the world as a
religious opportunity. But there will
be much more; for the church has
problems at home and must study
these problems as church liabilities.
| Social problems in the congeSted
cities, a somewhat perplexing subject
must be solved. But the church mus,
mfuse into all relations the spirit OF
the gospel. Laymen as studying as
well as ministers, and free discus
sion, led by men who are in touch with
those things, must prove greatly ben
eficial. And the indivdual-what
should be his attitude? Such ques-
tions will be illumined by intelligent
discussion.
Read the program. 1t fairly grips
YOU in its suggestiveness. Our re-
ligious opportunity is q big one; but
1t consists not so much in betting more
men into the membership of our
churches as it does in developing the
churches as an efficient factor in the
life of a workaday world.
All roads have offered special rates,
and good rates are offered by Column
bia boarding houses. The county
chairman in almost every county have
arranged for special coaches to take
their delegations to the convention,
all delegates leaving Monday morning,
Feby. 7th, arriving in Columbia in
time to register and be assigned 70
their hotels or boarding houses before
time for the evening sessions of the
conference.
