RESOLUTIONS ON ARCADIA ASSEMBLY.
Whereas, the Arcadia Assembly is
one of the three great Assemblies Of
Southern Methodism, it behooves the
st. Louis Conference to earnestly sup
port and plan for it's permanency and
success. 1t is Of vital Importance
that the local church be so related to
the Encampment that it will contri-
butte to Its continual prosperity.
Therefore. be it resolved: That we
heartily commend the action OF the
quarterly Conference of the Arcadia
Station in taking steps to build q
church in Ironton. This has appeared
as a necessity for many years and
we are confident it is necessary for
the prosperity OF our work in Arcadia
Valley and the development OF the
Assembly. We, therefore, urge sub
~stantial sympathy and support OF this
plan. MERRILL ppm,

There is an inscription showing it was
