The success of the first session Of
the Memphis Bible conference far
exceeded the expectations of the men
back of the movement.
"Never before have we ever en-
joyed such hearty cooperation by
the church people of all denomina-
tons as we have been given in Mem
phis," said Rev. ]. 3. Phillips, of
Macon, Ga, founder of the Bible con-
ference chais in the South, who per-
sonally directed the institute here.
THE spirit Of the Memphis people
is beautiful" he continued, as he
told of the large audiences that at
tended all of the sessions and the
appreciation manifested to the dis
tinguished speakers who lectured.
The last sessions of the conference
will be held Sunday, with the speak
ers assigned to various pulpits
throughout the city, as announced
in the accompanying program. AL
ready, suggestions have been made
that the conference be repeated again
next year. 1t is quite possible that
the institute will be made an annual
event.
Only in one respect has the enter
prise Jagged, and leaders are hopeful
lllS SHOIlCOlulllS Will NC VlihiiHReS'a
Sunday-the people seemingly have
been so engFessed in the studies pre-
scented by the leaders that they have
neglected to. provide for the expenses
of the meeting. Only about one
fourth of the expenses of the meet
ing had been received in the volun-
tary collections taken up to Friday
night. The only remuneration OF
the speakers is received from the
voluntary contributions of the peo-
pie. The matter of finances has not
been stressed at the meetings, which
no doubt accounts for the situation
Never before has such an able and
distinguished group of Bible au-
thorities spoke from the pulpits OF
Memphis at one meeting. Each man
has a nation wide reputation, and the
books that they have written are ac-
cepted as standard texts throughout
the land.
DIR. Phillips was especially enthusl-
astic over the support that the Mem
phis newspapers have given the con-
ference. In none of the cities in
which we have held conferences" he
said, "have the newspo Ders been SO
generous with their space"
DR.. Phillips will remain here nex'
week and assist Rev. d. A. Ellis, DID.
pastor of La Belle Place Baptist
church, in meeting, speaking at q: ~
o'clock each evening.
