CONFERENCE TODAY PLANS ID SECURE
 BIC CONVENTION
Sectional Convention of Lay mems Missionary Move ment of U. s. and
 Canada Sought

conference of leading laymen of vari- ous church denominations will be held this afternoon at o'clock in the rooms of the Civic association to discuss ways and means of securing one of the big sec tional conventions of the laymen's mis- siorary movement of the United States and Canada. Several southern cities arc after this convention. but Birmingham. according to Secretary Manager C. l.. Harold. has splendid chance to land the convention provided the matter of an auditorium and other details can be satis- factorily arranged.
 There will be two conventions of ths laymen in the south, one having been awarded to Richmond and the other will be held further south to draw from Texas, nessee E. c. Cronk, secretary of the laymen's missionary movement, estimates that not less than 2500 delegates will attend each of the two southern con- ventions. It will be seen. therefore, that two auditoriums will have to be provided in Birmingham if this city expects to land the convention
 The programme, according to Secretary Crcl.k, will contain q wealth of speakers of national and international reputation. One of the speakers practically assured is Dr. John K. Mott, general secretary of the Army Young Mems Christian as- sociation. The convention will hold for three days.
