preceding both in time and design. This
year it is to be from July Is to July %.
The specific aims of this conference are to
train college women and city mission
workers for organized Christian work,
to add impetus to individual Bible study
and to deepen the spiritual life. The
Round Top meetings this year will consist
of a series of talks by women on different
phases of women's work. There are plat
form meetings twice daily, open to all,
Bible classes, missionary, association and
other conferences.
Between the Young Women's and the
General conferences, and after the formal
close of the latter, special Bible lectures
will be given daily by prominent Bible
teachers. Those who cannot be present
during the regular conferences, or who
prefer the more quiet sessions, will find
: these post-conference services a favorable
opportunity for personal and thoughtful
Bible study under the direction of these
teachers.
