ASHEVILLE BIBLE CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 1927.

The following program of the Bible
been received:
Plans have been perfected for the
second Summer Bible conference to be
held in the First Baptist church, Ashe-
vile, N. c., June 1927, of this year
The success of the first conference
held in 1913, the fact that Asheville is
the logical and geographical centre for
such a Conference and the great need
of definite Bible study on the part of
Gods people, lend the inspiration for
this second conference
There will be five sessions each day;
two in the morning, two in the after
noon, and one at night. At various
times during the Conference. street
meetings will be held with conference
speakers to address them.
Rev. w. B. Riley, D. D., of Minneap-
oils, Mimi, for eighteen years pastor
fthe First Baptist church of that city.
is known throughout this country and
England as Bible Teacher and Evan
gelist-Preacher Of great strength. Dur
ing the past year he has been on a
leave of absence from his church,
conducting evangelistic campaigns
throughout the United States and the
Lord has richly blessed his labors. He
will speak twice daily.
Rev. Willard A. Jenkins, D. D., ma
tive of this section of the country is
too well known to need any words OF
introduction. He is one of the most
appealing speakers of our Southland
and the Lord has blessed him with
the message that will greatly interest
| and help those who attend the Con-
ference.
Rev. Arch C. Cree, D. D., of Atlanta.
Ca, secretary of missions for the State
of Georgia, will be here the first four
| days of the conference, speaking on
| special gospel themes. DR.. Cree was
with us in the former conference and
delighted our people very much by his
earnestness and enthusiasm in the
work
Rev. J. C. Owen, returned mission
airy from China and now evangelist for
the home mission board to our schools
and colleges, will each day at four
o'clock conduct pastors conference.
Practical problems of the every day
| pastorate will be taken up and discuss
ed. This feature of the conference,
we believe will be a great benefit to
the pastors who attend.
Mrs. w. H. Woodall, we'll known to
this State and Tennessee as Bible
Teacher, will conduct each day at four
o'clock a conference for women
/ Special study of mission work and soul
winning will be the features of this
conference. Mrs. Woodall is a woman
of prayer and years of experience and
we feel sure will be of great help to
the women.
Altha Ira Ruby, director of music of
this church, will conduct the congrega-
tional singing, assisted by a large
chorus choir. There will be special
music service the first night of the
conference, which will be inspiration
al and devotional, and we trust will
strike key of praise such as well
characterize the entire conference.

tor of. the First Baptist church OF
Asheville. During that time there
have been five hundred and forty-six
