The laymen's Missionary Movement" was the sutject of a short but interesting uter read before the Omaha Ministerial union Monday i- morning ty Kev. n. Jenks. , , The paper gave a short history of the origin and purposes of the movement, fol lowing which Dr. Jenks said: "This promises to become one of the most far-reaching movements of modern times. It is a movement of Investigation, agitation and organisation,' founded on the cry of the hour and age for world evange lization. It Is an organisation by which the laymen co-operate with the ministers and church boards in a world enterprise. It la an organisation of the material forces of the world such as never before waa seen. The church of Ood is facing a great task. ' Thla la not" a degenerate, but a virile age. Today la laymen's day. Ood's spirit -is laying upon, the laymen a. minis terial duty. It Is a man's task, an herolo one. It la no longer the dream of the en thusiast, but the practical tlemonstratlon of the capabilities of men of action. It Is an analysis of values carrying with It the truest Idea of stewardship. . The laymen's movement in thla city has tlie right to expect the co-operation of the pulpit, and will receive it. . Denominational Hues are growing dim and all are trending toward unity In God's work." A brief discussion of the paper followed, supplemented with an expression of thanks to Dr. Jenks for his address. , Ministers Will Absorb Art.
