leave to make the following report:
Believing as we do that the time

coming year.
That the 1st Vice President and his
| department plan for the year a series
of meetings to be held in the individ-
ual churches for spiritual uplift and
the salvation of souls.

plans so that each chapter shall be rep

Boise District each and every one be-
come systematic givers for missions.
If possible to adopt the weekly offering
plan for each chapter.
