The Christian Association held its weekly meeting last night in Holden Chapel. The subject for this evening's consideration was Foreign and City Missions.
The subject of foreign missions was first taken up, and interest in such missions was urged on all. Fifteen hundred young men in our colleges are pledged for missionary work abroad, but of these only three come from Harvard University, the largest of them all. Last year the association did nothing for foreign missions, but this year it is already planning for foreign work. There are to be weekly lessons devoted to different countries and the state of missionary work there. Each member of the class will be given topics to investigate and report on.
Next city missions were taken up. The work in the Sailors' Mission, the Daly Street Mission, and the Chinese Sunday School, in which the association is interested, was fully described. Volunteers were requested for the work in the different departments.
A short business meeting followed. After the reports, the following men were admitted to membership: P. Auten '99, W. W. Baker '98, E. B. Barton '98, A. H. Bryant '97, H. Clapp '99, E. L. Creesy '96, E. W. Cutting '98, R. Fayerweather '99 Gleason '97, C. D. Gray '97, W. T. Jones Sp., C. E. Smith Sp., W. H. Snyder Gr., J. P. Warren '96, F. S. Weiss '99.
The names of sixteen men were proposed, to be voted upon at the next meeting.
