 oUADRENNIAL CONFERENCE,
Elder w. H. Edwards of Westerly Will Head Party from Southern New Eng land

Practically all the ordained Seventh Day Adventist ministers in the south ern New England conference which includes Rhode Island and Connecti- cut, together with their wives and other workers and believers have meeting of the general conference of that denomination, which will be held in Washington, D. C., May Is to June 8, and which will bring together be- lievers from all parts of the world. The party from the southern New England conference will be headed by Elder w. H. Edwards, the president, who has his headquarters in West erly.
 Delegates and other believers from 25 union conferences in the United States. Canada, Europe, Australia and Africa. and the mission stations in Africa and Asia will swell the attend ance to about 4,0O0.
 Among those who have planned to attend from Norwich are Mrs. A. E.. 'Sturtevant and Mrs. N. P. Smith.
 Every state in the Union will be represented by delegates: in fact, ev- cry country on the globe. All of the leading ministers in the United States and Canada will be among those in attndance. The leaders of the de- nomination in Europe and Australia, as well as those of the mission sta- tons Tn Africa, Asia and the islands of the sea, will also come.
 Over 800 tents will be pitched for the housing of the people during their stay at the session, and large canvas paviiions will be pitched for the hold ing of the meetings. It Is expected that at least thirty meetings a day will be held.

With the leaders of these fields present. the needs of each will be laid before the delegates; and not only will recruits be furnish ed, but large sums of money appropri- ated for the spreading of Seventh Day Adventist doctrines.
 Another large question that will come up for consideration will be that of dividing the earth into six divisions in order to work aut the problems that the denomination has taken upon it. self on more systematic lines.
