leadership in the various local societies.
Work to Be Combined.
One of the resolutions passed was
to the effect that the local confer
ences make special efforts to obtain
persons of high qualifications to act
as missionary volunteer secretaries,
and that those who contemplate en-
tering this part of the work be en-
couraged to take the course of study

that the educational and volunteer
work be combined. and the secretary
of these departments divide his or her
time in operating each department.
1t was further recommended that special
attention be given to the young peo
pies work at the coming union con-
ference sessions, and these meetings
