GOOD POSITIONS

ming Cney nave 6ucn assistance, In due
time they can run and not be weary
am sure Bro. Allen Arbogast has been
of great help to our Union along that
line. He will even write prayers for
some of the younger Ones"
We are certain that the lack of such
encouragement, such as Bro. Frazier
and others have given. has been the
principal cause of the failure of many
Unions. Wise leadership is the key
stone of success in any enterprise.
TOLEDO
The Alliance at Toledo held it's regular
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
Martha Moore. The attendance was
good, considering the scattered resi-
dences of TIE members. The presence
of Rev. G. P. Nash added to the interest
of the occasion. Papers were read by
Mrs. Toney A. Freeman and Rev. George
Thunderstorm, the subject being; Can
Man Defeat the Will.o OF Godf" After
the papers Mr.. Nash gave an admirable
discourse which was greatly enjoyed by
all. 1t was the general opinion that it
would be better to meet more frequently,
as more good will be accomplished. Our
correspondent says: 1.-THE topic for dis
cussion at our next meeting will be-
How are those who are not repentant
saved in the next Iife?' This is ques-
tion that will make us give reason for
the faith that is in US. Besides our
members, we had at this meeting, a
number of visitors from other places"
THE RIGHT POLICY.
A correspondent says: There is wis
dom in the formation of circuits COM
posed of our weaker churches. l note
with great pleasure, the tendency to
form these circuits. 1t will no doubt be
J the means. in many instances, of erasing
| that terrible word dormant from the
pages of the Register. Better have ser
vices one half or one-fourth of the time,
than not at all. Go on with the good
work"
SEND IN THE QUOTAS.
The financial year of the Convention
closes with April 80, which is rapidly
drawing near. Many of our churches
have rot sent in their annual quotas.
We hope that large number will res
pond to this duty. before the time
mentioned, although contributions will
be welcomed at any time.
