up a revival for the glorif1cation of
God and the lettering of conditions
we must have harmony among our
selves, and when we have such we can

A lay member said that while he In
dorsed the movement of the church
federation, he believed that women.

bers of the federation could tell others
exactly what was intended. He an
nounced himself ready TO work for the
good of the cause with any one who
was willing to do likewise.
