The Twelfth Annual Conference of Eastern College Men on the Christian Ministry, which opened last evening, will convene this morning in Andover Chapel at 9 o'clock and again in the evening at 7.30. The Reverend W. H. Wilson, D.D., Ph.D., will discuss "The Country Movement in its Relation to the Rural Church," the Reverend N. Boynton, D.D., will speak on "The Perils and Possibilities of the City Church," and Professor Walter Rauschenbusch, D.D., on "The Minister as a Servant of the Community" at the morning session. In the evening the Reverend N. E. Richardson, Ph.D., will speak on "The New Opportunity for the Religious Education in the Ministry," Dean M. W. Jacobus, of Hartford Seminary, on "The Personal Cost of the Ministry," and the Reverend D. B. Eddy on "The Ministry and the World-Wide Mission of the Church." In the afternoon the delegates will be taken on excursions to points of historic and literary interest in Boston, Cambridge, and Concord.

Tomorrow there will be two meetings of the Conference, the first at the service in Appleton Chapel at 11 o'clock, when President Fitch will preach, and the second in Andover Chapel at 2.30 o'clock when Professor W. E. Hocking '01 will talk on "What the Philosophy of Today has to say about the Church." Dr. Fitch will also speak on "Religious Leadership in America after the War."

What the Conference hopes to accomplish is to present to those college men who are now deciding upon their life work definite and reliable information concerning the opportunities and work of the Christian ministry, not merely for those looking forward to the ministry, but for any men desiring facts regarding various life-callings.
