month Of December the work has pro-
aresScd at a pleaSingly rapid rate. and
from all parts OF the conference come
expressions of cheer and encourage
ment. The elders have enjoyed excel
lent health and have succeeded in form
Ing a favorable acquaintance with the
people of the several districts From
nearly all the elders come reports of
new-found friends and prospective con-
verts.
At the end OF the year each elder is
able to look back on his attempts and
feel that God has truly blessed him
abundantly, and he feels fully paid for
his labors when he secs his many
friends earnestly striving to live the
truths he has brought to them. The
years work has resulted in a bright
record for the conference but II pros
