Two of the big men who will speak at the Laymen's Missionary Conven tion in Grace Methodist Church, March 12, 13 and 14 are Charles L. Fry, of Philadelphia, and George In nes, of Cairo, Egypt. Mr. Fry is the general superinten dent of the Cause of Church Extension in the General Council of the Lutheran Church throughout the United States and Canada, lie was pastor for twenty years of the historic "Old Trinity" Lu theran Church at Lancaster, Pa. From Lancaster he was called to St. Luke's in Philadelphia, where he lent his constant aid in co-operative ac tivities, being spokesman before the State Legislature at Ilarrisburg in the successful effort to prevent the threat ened repealing of the laws of the Com monwealth against desecrating the Lord's Day. Mr. Fry has been active in all fed erated Christian movements, serving as president of many of them. He was one of the founders and officers of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua at Mt. Gretna and on the same grounds he afterwards established a summer school for Lutheran teachers and mission workers, one of the tirst in stitutions of its kind, which this year was transferred to the campus of Muhlenberg College at Allentown and which has become the mother of other summer schools in different synods. Mr. Fry has also occupied the presi dential chair of the Philadelphia, County Sunday School Association. In his own parish. Dr. Fry opened the first daily Christian kindergarten within the bounds of the synod. The first Inner Mission Society in America was organized In his honi" for the manifold work of Christian rescue and prevention. Mr. Innes has both an experience and a message that arc challenging to all serious men. In the prime of his manhood, and in the midst of marked business success, he decided to make a thorough study of the exact mis sionary situation. After a trip around the world, he turned much of his busi ness over to others and now gives most of his time to the enlistment of laymen in what he regards as the big gest and most important business he has ever had anything to do with, the missionary business. Mr. Innes is a big man pliysicall" and in every other way. He makes a tremendous im pression on men by the recital of the story of his own struggle with the de sire'to make money and how he was led to devote his life to Christian work. At present much of his time and organizing ability are being given to a project to put a great Christian University into Cairo. Egypt, the in tellectual capital of the Moslem world. Mr. innes is a fine speaker ■whoso message no layman can afford to miss. To Show Motion Pictures of Palestine and Russia Prof. W. Blancliard Moore, lec turer and newspaperman of wide ex perience, of Chicago, is to give liis great "Palestine Travel Talk," in the Stevens Memorial Methodist Episcopal church, Thirteenth and Vernon streets, Sunday evening, March 5, at 7:30 o'clock. This Sunday evening "Travel Festi val" will be illustrated by the use of moving pictures. There is probably no lecture of its kind attracting greater crowds in the country. Prof. Moore some years ago was selected by the Western Press Club to study the exile system and the people of Siberia, and for six months he lived among them, although often under great difficulty and with personal suffering. Seven times in Russia he was arrested as an American spy. His trip to Russia alone cost, him 52.",000. He will give his lecture on "Siberia, Russia and Count Tolstoi." Saturday evening, March 4, In the Stevens Memorial Church. Tn this lecture he will use 2,500 feet of moving pictures. VXITED EVANGELICAI; Park Street The Rev. A. E. Han sen.
