and will be full of helpful sugges-
tions and inspiration for those inter-
ested In church work. DR.. Morris E.

various denominations in Harrisburg,
inviting them to attend this confer

being allowed to select the section
| they desire to attend.

worth while, to say the least. Sew
eral months ago part of these
slides were shown to a group of
prominent Methodist laymen at the
home of e. u. Wallower, much to
the delight of those present. Tne aim
of this conference is to take all
