association for a series of meetings, were given local Sunday school workers at the Y. M. C. A. Friday night. These workers will appear in over a dozen city Sunday schools Sunday morning, at which time they will make very brief talks on the meetings to be held, and the merits of the man who is to be in charge. Dr. Honline is 6aid to be one of the strongest religious lecturers iii the United States. He is associate educational director of the Interna tional Sunday school association, and has for many years been actively identified with Bonebrake Seminary, Dayton, O., a United Brethren institution. Persons who know Dr. Honline, and who have heard him speak, say that his lectures on the principles, methods and special problems of religious education, are not to be surpassed. Comes Here on Tour. During the month of April, Dr. Honline will appear in Indiana cities, mak-

iing lectures at each place. He was secured by the local City Sunday school association for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. April 17, 18, 19 and 20, despite efforts of other cities bidding for his meetings. Beginning with an afternoon meeting on Sunday. April 17, at 3:45 o'clock. Dr. Honline will give a religious educational lecture each afternoon at that time, and each night at 7:45 o'clock. All meetings will be held ia the First English Lutheran church, corner of

South Eleventh and A streets. It is also hoped to bring Dr. Honline before other organizations and institutions between lecture hours. He will be at Earlham college each morning of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18, 19 and 20. Plans are now to have him speak to students of both the Senior high school and the Garfield junior high school. The afternoon meetings will be in the nature of institutes. Everyone is welcome to attend all afternoon and evening

meetings. There will be no charge I

of admission at any time. Only freewill offerings will be taken in the evenings. To Make Announcement. Each of the local Sunday school workers who attended the instruction

uit? enug ueia r riaay nigtit, were assigned to the ohurohes in which they will formally announce the big serier of meetings. They were all supplied with enrollment cards, which they will leave with the Sunday schools they visit, requesting members to sign the cards, showing that they will make an effort to attend all meetings possible. When a Sunday fchool member signs an enrollment card, it will not obligate him to attend It is for the purpose of finding as nearly as possi-

oie tne number that may be expected to attend some of the meetings. Seats are Reserved. Each person who signs an enrollment card will also be recognized as a supporter, and as such, will be presented an identification card a week from Sunday, which will entitle the holder to a seat reservation. This will be of great advantage to persons intending to attend, it is said, for Dr. Honline's lectures are expected to attract large crowds. Speakers, ajid the churches that they will visit Sunday morning, follows: Filmore Riggs. First Baptist; A. C. Gaudy, United Presbjterian; Marvin Pickett, Third M. E.; Edward Hasemeier, First M. E. nnd East Main Street Friends; Karl Wolf, First Presbyterian; Thomas P. Wilson, United Brethren; Robert Welch man, South Eighth Street Friends: John H. John-t-on, St. Paul's Lutheran; Julian L.
