The Executive committee fixed the date
of next meeting for Thursday and Friday
before the fourth Sunday in July 1911. 1t
is believed that this date will better suit
for the country churches as the farmers
will be better up with their work and can
better attend. =.
1t is hoped that every Sunday School of
every denomination will q up this WORK
and send a full delegation next time. The
hospitality of the Abbcville people vas
highly appreciated by all but then the city
is only living up to her past record.
