PEACE BUILDING HERE
Members Asked 10 Give Lib
Gritty Bonds for Structure,
Conference to Meet Here
in 1919

AR appear 10 Georgia AielnOulStS
to give their Liberty Bonds for the
erection of q great building on the
campus Of Emory university as me-
mortal to the conclusion of peace was
one of the prime features OF Mon
day mornings session of the North
Georgia conference, which resumed
after the over-Sunday rest.
The conference also voted to meet
in Atlanta next year and appropri-
ated $1,000 to pay the expenses Of
the ministers attending, thus break
ing absolutely away from the time
honored custom of parcelinS out the
delegates among the homes Of church
members.
Both Methodists of north and south
Georgia will be invited to turn their
bonds into the memorial bullC
ing, which, although it was not
specified in the resolution, doubt
less will be the already-pro-
posed building for the education
of teachers for religious edu-
cation. They are asked to give the
bonds they have bought for liberty
not only to commemorate the realiza-
tion of their prayers but, at the same
time, to carry on religious education.
The suggestion that bonds be de-
voted TO this building was sponta-
neous and was received by the con-
ference with enthusiasm. In the
course of his report as commission
er on education Rev. C. C. Jahtrell re-
marked that there are enough bonds
to put up q building in menlerial to
the peace which has come gin re-
Spouse to our prayers"
At the conclusion of the report
Bishop Gambler expressed the view
that only through adequate care OF
teachers would it be possible to pene-
trate secular education, stresslng the
Importance of the church seeing that
the teachers in it's colleges have re-
ligious education. ~
Resolution Adopted
Rev. Mr.. FARRELL then proposed tina
Methodists, who have bought bonds
for Liberty and whose prayers, he
said, have helped end the war, be
invited to contribute their bonds to
erect such a structure. The con-
ference then unanimously passed
the following resolution, signed by
Mr.. FARRELL and DIR. S. 3. Ledbetter:
Be it, resolved, that this con-
ference endorse the plan to
build on the campus of Emory
university a great building as
memorial to the peace which has
come in answer to a nations
prayer and as a crown to its
sacrificial offering on the altar
of freedom.
That we ash our people to
turn their Liberty Bonds into
this beautiful expression OF y
both patriotism and religion.
That we ask the South GeOr-
gia conference to join us in
this work.
Most of the Monday morning ses-
sion of the conference was devoted
to hearing reports of the various
preachers, all of whom reported

over the protest of Rev. Speer, who

deemable things" The, sentiment
