An Aged Veteran
One of the most prominent figures
at the Brethren conference is Elder

more to further the mission cause OF
the church than any other man in the
denomination. He has Travelled extern
sively in Europe, Asia and Africa and
has written a number OF books de-
scribing his travels.
New Moderator
Elder Henry c. Early, of Penn
Laird, Va. who was chosen as the
new moderator on Thursday morning,
is not a new man in the work, having
filled the position several times before.
He is considered one of the ablest
moderators that the church has, being
a good parliamentarian, of sound Judg-
ment, even temper. not easily con-
fused. thus making him capable to go
through trying times of the confer
ence without criticism, He is chair
man of the general mission board and
a member of the educational board.
