ST. PAUL'S MEN'S CLUB.

Rev. J. Bradford Pengelly, in the winter of 1913-14, organized the St. Paul's Men's club, for the purpose of inducing the business men of the city to think collectively about the serious problem of the day in municipal and civic affairs. This club is non-sectarian and the membership lists include men from all denominations. The Men's Club was organized with twelve charter members and at the present time, three years after its inception, has a membership of about seven hundred. Each year the club brings to Flint the best speakers on phases of civic life that can be procured. Among the prominent men who will address the club during the season of 1916-17 are Dr. C. B. Ball, chief sanitary inspector of Chicago; Dr. Graham H. Taylor, president of the Chicago School of Civics; Dr. V. C. Vaughn, dean of the medical school of the University of Michigan; Rt. Rev. C. D. Williams, Bishop of Michigan; James A. McDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe; George E. Hooker, secretary of the City Club of Chicago; Prof. Theo. G. Seares, of the University of Chicago; Mayor Hoan, of Milwaukee; S. S. Marquis, head of the social welfare department of the Fort Motor Company, of Detroit; and Edgar A. Guest, of the Detroit Free Press.
