16 LAYMEN ASSUME MISSION BURDEN MASS MEETING ATTENDED BY OVER A THOUSAND INTERESTED WORKERS REVIEW FOREIGN EFFORT Movement Has as Object the Spirit of Christ's Message to Every Part of World This Generation A thousand of the well known min isters laymen, business and profession al men yesterday laid aside the cares of business and their professions—put money making aside—and devoted their time and attention to the study and planning for missionary work so that the gospel message of , Jesus Cnss may reach all the world within and through the efforts of the present gen eration. . _,'„♦ The Laymen's missionary movement, ■which was inaugurated in Los Angeles Tuesday evening with one of the largest banquet? ever held in the city, opened Its first regular session yester day morning at the First Methodist church. This convention is the fiftieth out of seventy-eight to be held in various parts of the United States in the great movement among the lay men to further the cause of Chris tlTheyold adage that the "Ladles' Mis sionary society" does the mission ■work of the churches was utterly re futed yesterday, when men—and men only—gathered to study nnd discuss from their religious and business stand points the history and the best methods of missionary work. Extensive Work Planned To secure the largest amount of com prehensive and telling work with the least possible outlay of funds—to make every dollar do its full duty—was the standpoint taken by the men discussing the problems yesterday. That some thing must be done, and that done quickly, was the general trend of the first session yesterday morning when the general topic under discussion was "A Survey of the World Field." Par ticularly the menace of Mohammeaism to Christianity was the warning note of this session. The subject was dealt In by the men who have been In the mission fields and faced massacres and other tribulations in order to take Christianity into the ranks of Islam to carry the cross to the ramparts of the Clßev P. McNaughton. for twenty two years a missionary in Smyrna, made a telling address, speaking of conditions in Asia. Rev. F. M. Stedd of Persia tola of the work being done in that country, and further emphasized the spread of Mohammedism among the people. He said that Persia stands as a challenge to the Christian church to carry out the command, "Take the gospel to all the world." 0 M. Hansen. a Baptist missionary from Burmah. India, spoke of his work Bishop J. F. Robinson. in charge of the Methodist work In India, said In his address that In his district there were 50.000,000 people waiting to hear the gospel message. Rev J. L- Rearing spoke of the work in Japan and China, with which he has been connected several years. Missionary Work Pays In the afternoon W. L. Green pre sided "Why Missions Should Appeal to Men" was the topic of Col. Charles A Hopkins, chairman of the prudential committee of the American board. He eaid: . , .. "The business men aro asking If the missionary problem pays on a financial basis, and they are receiving their an swers that it does aside from the saving of souls. The products they send to aid in Christianizing the foreign nations created standards of large financial returns." J Campbell White led the conference on the topic. "How to Lead a Church to the Highest Missionary Efficiency." "Some think there is a sort of a magic connected with this Laymen's missionary movement," said Mr. W hue. "But It is as definite and practical as the product from a coal mine We must discover the laws of the mis sionary problem and act along that line." Dr. G. B. Smyth said: "I think every pastor should have a missionary committee under his con trol. The pastor should have abso lute supervision over his church af fairs unless he Is fool enough to lot Mime millionaire layman lead him." C. V. Vickrey advocated the forming of missionary committees in the churches and pushing the cause through those mediums. T. R. Gabel spoke of the Buffalo missionary movement and made local applications. Rev. H. Melville Tenney advocated that systematic education be Imparted along the lines of the missionary movement. Rev. A. W. Rider spoke encouraging ly of the missionary work, but said, "In many cases there have been clerical appeals with nothing but feminine responses." "It is necessary for men to keep in close touch with the missionary movement In order to hold a good grip on faith," said H. C. Mason, in speak ing on missionary efficiency, Last evening Judge Curtis D. Wilbur presided, a large audience of men be ing In attendance. J. Campbell White propounded a serifs of questions which receive*! prompt responses in the con gregation regarding the best methods of making missionary collections. Consul General Speaks K. R. TVllber, American consul gen eral at Kobe, Japan, was the first speaker of the evening. He spoke in an interesting manner on "How it Government official Came to Appre ciate Missions." He said, In part; "There are two kinds of heathen in Afraid of Ghosts \^Z ' Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people /' §^y\ ,>#, are afraid of germs.

While living in t..e far east I have found two kinds, those who live over in the unchristian lands, and those who live round about us at home. "While representing my government aa a consular officer in the West In dies I received a cablegram notifying mo of my appointment a.s consul gen eral at Singapore. One of the first du ties was to inquire into and ascertain the personnel and number of the Amer ican colony. "I found it was two-thirds mission aries. 1 had no sooner found this than 1 ran up against the missionary critic. I heard from this person this charge and that charge against the mis sionary. "I made up my mind I would per sonally investigate and ascertain the truth. I took my time about it. I watched Ihe missionaries in their out ward life; I watched them in their home life; I watched their work, and after months of thorough investigation 1 learned ever?- charge against the mis- Bionary was false and malicious. "About two years after we had ar rived there, and after studying the missionary in hi* UfO anil work fur ther, and noting the true, sincere Christian character displayed by them al all times and under all circum stances, and the sincerity of the Chris tian native* —who will often put you and nit' t" shame—l made up my mind, after being under deep conviction for a long time, that if God could make ■uch a finished product nut of the raw material 1 saw in Singapore, He could make .something out of me and I then and there passed my burden at the toot of the cross, humbly repenant, surrendering my all, and gave my heart to Christ" The dosing address of the evening was made by Rev.

LOS ANOFXES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. MAIKiI JO. 1010. POLY STUDENT HELD FOR THEFT MISSING SCHOOL APPARATUS IS RECOVERED Officers Arresting E. C. Grebe Allege They Saw Him Take Chem. icals and Instruments from Laboratory Charged with grand larceny, E. C. Grebe, a student at the Polytechnic high school, was arrested at his home, 222 West Twenty-fifth street, last night by I'atrolmen Smith and Lynch of the University station. For several weeks the faculty of the Polytechnic school nave kept watch to find what became of the chemicals and apparatus that has been stolen from the laboratory. Finally the matter was reported to the police and Patrol man Lynch and Smith were detailed on the case. From Investigation it was learned the. articles stolen from the laboratory v. iv taken at night after close of the school. The officers secretly removed b glased pane of glass in the skylight above the laboratory and replaced it with another glass partially glazed, but with "peek holes," so that a view of the room could be had. The olffcers then began their vigil, and it is alleged Grebe was seen to enter the room Tuesday night and take away a number of chemicals, also a pair of assayer's scales, valued at $175. Entrance to the room was gained by Grebe, it is alleged, through a window which he left unfastened after his visits. After Tuesday night's visit the patrolmen obtained a search warrant and visited the home of Grebe, wrfo is a s<m of C. C. Grebe, a real estate dealer. The assayer's scales and chemicals valued at 160 were recovered, and it is i\i ted more booty will be located. The faculty at the school estimated last night that the laboratory had been systematically burglarised and over |600 worth of chemicals and instru ments stolen. Qrebe Is 32 years old, and about a month ago began a course of study in chemistry at the Polytechnic school. A< i ordlng to members of the faculty, he did not seem to work hard and con tinually shifted from one study to an other. He was locked up at central police Station and will appear in court this morning to plead to a charge of grand larceny.
