for series of meetings to be held in Wash
ington and Baltimore during the coming
winter Among other plans adopted for the
raising of money, 1t was stated that a GER
tifcate has been ordered with special,
though not exclusive, reference to Sunday
school scholars and Epworth Leaguers, the
minimum sum emitting to it being fixed
at 81 Every pastor can obtain one for ex-
hfbftion in his congregation. 1t will be of
handsome design, well worth preserving in
the home, having, besides its memorial
inscription and attractive characterization,
the name of the contributor and the amount
contributed. and the Autographed sigma
lures of the presidents of the general COM
mission, the conference committee and the
Women's College, respectively. The pay
ment of subscription, if desired, can be dis
tributed through two years in quarterly or
semi-annual sums
The committee is convinced as one of the
members said, that it must depend upon the
pastors VINO are nearest to the people and
know them best, to wake up and keep alive
the enthusiasm necessary for any eminent
success in this twentieth century move
ment. With proper and repeated repre-
sentation of it, publicly and privately
among the people; with the right kind of eff
fort to get official boards, Sunday schools
and EpWorth Leagues interested, the liter
allure available being freely used one of
the means to enlist general and hearty CO.
operation, it is believed the results at large
in the conference will fairly measure up to
reasonable expectations.
Some kind of organized effort, taking in
the congregation as such, with the Sunday
school and EDworth League, is considered
Indispensable to the best results.
