The evening ses61on was held in the Presbyterian Church. President Rev D T, L. MoKerroll presided. Over 500 people filled the church, Reeve Joynt, in opening, deemed the position of a layman speaking to laymen a greater honor than holding the poeitiou of ohief magistrate. P. 0. Murdoch, of Lncknow, gave an excellent address ou "Moving of the World." He showed the wonderful. ohangea in the world. Japan has open• ed up to missionaries and has adopted western methods. An intellectual move- ment was opening up Cnina and a desire for knowledge was now moviug India. God was peeving the East to receive the Gospel and the West to give it. Ou Friday, Matthew Parkinson, of Toronto, ohairman of the Presbyterian Laymen's Movement, spoke at both sessions and his eloquent addresses sank deep into the hearts of his hearers. At the women's meeting Mr. Parkin- son took as his subject, "Women of Canada for the Man of Galilee," and Rev. A. W. Finlay, Whiteohurch, con- ducted devotional service. The expansion at home and abroad of the Church of Christ, the greater part in the nation's defence was the abject of D, C. Taylor's address at the opening of the evening exercise. "Conferences are ways and means," was Mr, Parkinson's subject in the evening, and he traced the growth of missions. Sixteen hundred missionaries were needed to evangelize the world, whioh could be accomplished in 25 years if Canadian Christians did their utmost. Sunday was a red letter day in the Christian history of Lnoknow and the surrounding district, when hundreds were present to hear the plan of the evangelization of the world by the com- mon people outlined by the brainy lead- ers o1 the great movement. At the Methodist Church Sunday night, the President of the Dominion conference, Mr, N. W. Rowell, K. C., Toronto, was listened to with rapt attention by an audience which packed the edifice to its capacity, when in a stirring address he spoke of Canada's opportunities at home and abroad. Mr. Rowell gave a short address in the morning at the Presbyterian Church on Canada's Missionary Policy, In the evening, Rev. R. P. MacKay spoke on Mr. E. H. Ayer, of Detroit, the genial excursion agent of the White Star Line, was in town on Tuesday making ar- rangements for the big excursion,— Goderioh to Detroit and return„ MISSIONARY CONGRESS. The Lncknow laymen's missionary movement congress was held in that village from last Thursday until Sunday and was largely attended. The opening address on Thursday was given by Reeve Joynt, who,. in a neat address, showed the importance of the movement and welcomed the visitors. Dr. Tooker, of Toronto, gave an elo- quent address. He pointed out the high position of true womanhood, which was shown the greatest when doing the greatest work. Women were first in Christian and missionary work. He made an eloquent appeal to the women to bring freedom to the foot -bound viotorious progress of missions to an overflow meeting Hie Salk on China, the work there, and the diflionities to be overcome by the missionaries, was exceedingly interesting.
