MISSION MEETING ATTRACTS A HOST

Representatives of 700 Colleges Expected At Students' Volunteer Convention.

CONVENES IN ROCHESTER.

Big Delegation From Chicago Institutions Designated to Attend.

Seven hundred American and Canadian universities and colleges are expected to send representatives to the Students' Volunteer Convention, a religious meeting, which will be held in Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 29 to Jan. 2.  The official number of delegates is to be limited to 3,000, but students in touch with the movement here and in other places declare this number will be augmented by probably 1,000.  These conventions are unique, and this one is attracting more attention than any before.

Among the scheduled speakers from Chicago are: Dr. J. G. K. McClure, president of McCormick Theological seminary; Prof. George L. Robinson, Dr. O. S. Davis, Dr. J. M. Morse, and Dr. H. J. Johnston.  Other speakers who have been announced are:

The Rev. Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer, F. R. G. S., of Arabia; George Sherwood Eddy, India; Robert P. Wilder, Great Britain, one of the founders of the Student Volunteer movement; Robert E. Spear, secretary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions; D. Willaird Lyon, China; Bishop William F. McDowell, Chicago; Bishop Eugene R. Hendricks, Kansas City; Dean Edward I. Bosworth, Oberlin seminary; the Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, New York; the Rev. G. A. Johnston-Ross, Bryn Mawr, Pa.; the Rev. F. N. Reins, Cincinnati, O.; the Rev. Dr. F. L. Hawks Pott, president of St. John's university, Shanghai; the Rev. M. D. Eubank, China; Dr. Julius Richter, Germany, and Baron Paul Nicolay, St. Petersburg.

Foreign Missions Main Subject.
The main subject of all the sessions will be foreign missions.  There will be no formal program, the various speakers knowing beforehand what they will talk about, and the procedure is to be shifted at will.

A feature of each annual gathering is the pledging of men to the cause of foreign missions.  Thousands offer each year to devote their lives to work abroad.

The volunteer movement already has sent more than 4,000 of its members into foreign missionary work.  It was organized twenty-three years ago and through its instrumentality the character of missionary work has been greatly changed.

​That second sentence is a nice vague statement.  Exactly how has the character of missionary work greatly changed?
