\ Preaching,
It may not be practical to follow
! this program literally. 1t is given to
indicate the work that we have to do.
If necessary, it will be in manner
flexible. If not necessary to change
it we will follow it. All Sunday
school superintendents, also Epworth
League presidents, and recording
stewards are delegates to the district
conference by virtue of their Offices
! hope each one will arrange to be
present. Let every delegate elected
by the quarterly conferences begin to
plan now to attend. | hope each
league and home mission society in
the district will send one or two rep
resentat1ves. We want this to be a
time for getting inspiration and in
formation for our work, so that we
may go into the remainder of this
year to carry on the greatest cam
paign for the salvation of the lost
that has ever been known in this
country. Let every pastor, every
member Of the conference, every
member of the church, begin to pray
n now for the presence Of the Holy
~\Spirit to baptize this meeting Of the
conference and the whole church 50
that we may be witnesses Of Christ
to the saving of the lost in great
numbers,
