Christian Association.

The regular meeting of the Christian Assciation this evening at 6.45 in Holden Chapel is the first of a series of monthly missionary meetings which will be held during the coming year. This meeting follows naturally after the meeting of last week devoted to Bible study; for, as devotional Bible study may be termed a potential force, so the mission work that springs from it is its kinetic energy.

The meeting tonight will be cheifly introductory and explanatory. The mission work of the association last year will be explained, and outlines will be given of the plans for the coming year. Among them are plans for the sailors' mission, the Chinese Sunday School, a boys' club, and weekly visits to some of the regular Boston missions. A course of study in foreign missions of the present day will be described, and all who are interested in this, the greatest movement of the Christian church, are urgently invited to attend.
