speeches of the Conference.

SpeecneS OF the conference.
This Conference was a remarkable
demonstration OF the spirit OF
Christian unity. The using of three
churches, the entertainment at the
home of President Frost of Bishops
Anderson and Hartzell and the OPP
ening of the homes of the Christian
people of Berea of all denominations
is a great tribute to the work of the
Kingdom of God in this town.
To all who helped in any way to
make this Conference successful, the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Be-
rea and its pastor wish through the
columns of The Citizen to express
their deep sense of appreciation and
gratitude.
The presence of these men of God
have been a great inspiration to us.
We shall miss them and shall long
remember their earnestness and
zeal. To have come in contact with
the precious presence and splendid
personality of Bishop William L.
Anderson, to have heard his voice
and caught the spirit of his enthu-
siasm, to have grasped the hand Of
Bishop Joseph c.. Hartzell, this Goth
Century hero of the Cross, this man
of apostolic power and Christlike
simplicity, has been one Of the rich
est blessings that has come into the
lives of our people.
