be here; | appreciate the fact that
you have had trials and hardships,
but if we cannot stand trials and
hardships, how car we teach the peo-
pie to do so? We should be opti-
mistic rather than pessimistic, and
teach the people to look ahead for
orignter and better days:
mere are several things to con-
slider in doing anything well: "a
Punctuality; (2) Order, and as min
listers, we must be leaders in these
matters, and remember that the
leaders of the people have great re-
sp~onsiDiitleS. fou should not come

tne outside smoking and telling tales.
Conference Is held on the inside and

interest IN our work, We are not tit

Another thing | desire to tell you
IS, that the pastors who have been
and remained on their work
VIII De looked after. l believe that
f a man is on n mission and he sells
BOOKS or does something in harmony ,
With his work, that is all right; but
don't Delleve a preacher should
arm. A farming preacher is Just .
