The Business Men's Meetings

The Business Men's Meetings.

A very interested audience of business men greeted Prof. H. C. Adams in the Congregational church last Sunday to listen to his presentation of the labor problem and the duty of the church in reference thereto. The professor was kept busy answering the many questions propounded to him which be did very satisfactorily.

The subject for the coming Sunday is, "What is the duty of this government in relation to the Philippine Islands." Prof. Worcester will lead the discussion.

These instructive meetings will be held every Sunday immediately after the morning service in the rear of the church room. They are free and every person is cordially invited to attend and take part in the discussion. The list of the subjects to be discussed for the next three months will be published in the Church News.
