which will go with the members of
the conference and delegates when II

watchword OF the convention, which is
taken from Nehemiah w., 1920: THE
work is great and large and we are
separated upon the wall one from
another In what place therefore We
hear the sound Of the trumpet resort
we thither unto us; our God shall
fight for u.s.
Mr.. Adams said that too much was
made OF what we do not believe and
not enough of what we do believe, that
the emphasis was upon the wrong
place and the trumpet sound uncer-
tain. We declare God by making much
OF our opportunities and what we know
and believe is right 1t is our duty to
see that the trumpet call is certain
and as the world waits for the cal
they viii find It in our lives.
The address contained much that is
needed in the daily lives OF the people
and especially those who are working
along christian lines Rev. Mr. Adams
is very interesting speaker and says
much in short time Mrs A. H.
