Eatly to the interest of the meeting and to the scope of discussions.
Thus the Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting will present a platform and not an
organ. [Sidenote: Jubilee Singers.] A band of Jubilee Singers from Fisk
University, Tenn., will be present and add greatly to the sessions by
their quaint and pathetic music. This is always an interesting feature
of the American Missionary Association convention appreciated by all.
[Sidenote: Industrial Exhibit.] An industrial exhibit containing samples
of the work in representative Association schools will present an object
lesson of this work. This exhibit will be in the chapel of the First
Congregational Church near by the place of meetings. [Sidenote:
Missionaries.] The most interesting feature of the meeting, however,
will doubtless be the messages that come from the missionaries, a large
number of whom will be present. These men and women are on the advanced
line in this great movement for many races, including millions of
peoples who especially need the influence and power of an intelligent
Gospel. Among these missionaries will be representatives of different
races. Porto Rico, the new field entered a year ago, will be represented
by a missionary whose work has been especially valuable. [Sidenote:
Special.] A special number of the _Springfield Union_ will be issued
containing a full verbatim report of the various sessions. This will be
sent to ministers so as to reach them, if possible, Saturday morning,
October 27th. Pastors desiring to present the work of this Association
to their people will find this extra of great value. In the scope of the
discussions, the ability and variety of speakers, the interesting and
accessible places of note in and around the city of meeting,
