COMING CHRISTIAN
CHURCH CONVENTION.
Estimates of the number of
persons who will attend the in
ternational convention of the
Christian church next month at
the coliseum, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, have been
placed conservatively at 20,000,
although local entertainers think
it is not unlikely that 50,000 may
be here.
This estimate is based on a
comparison with the same con
vention held at Cincinnati five
years ago, when 18,000 attended
the communion service and over
in non l-omilav rlplpo-pt-pc wprp nt
the convention. Since then the
Disciples of Christ have gained
largely in numbers.
A Disciples of Christ day is to
be observed at the world’s fair
at which Rev. Dr. F. D. Power
of Washington, D. C., will speak
at Festival hall and the Christian
church pavilion, opposite the
Texas building, will dispense
hospitality. Dr. Power was
President Garfield’s pastor.
On Thursday evening, October
13, the convention will open with
a concert. The convention is
composed of the Christian for
eign missionary society, the
American Christian missionary
society, the Christian women’s
board of missions and their aux
iliaries.
