The local committee of arrange
ments, headed bv Rev B g. Lpsky,
pastor of the Hcdding church of Barre,
has been busily engaged for several
weeks making the arrangements for
the entertainment of the large number
of visitors who are expected in Barre
at some time during the conference.
Besides Rev Mr. Lipsky, the members
| of this committee are Mrs D. j. Morse,
Mrs d. G. Jarvis, Mrs. l.. D. Martin,
| Miss Cora Batchelder. William oliver,
| jr., Emery Newhal, Mrs B. w Hook
er, Mrs, G. S. Andrews and Mrs. B. G.

The number of visitors is at present
in doubt. but already 100 clergymen
and their wives have been registered
aad places in homes of the city have
been provided for them. In addition,
| there will be the delegates to the lay
conference during the latter part of
| the week at which one delegate from
each Of the l20 Methodist churches of
the state is expected. So it is probable
that there will be in the vicinity of 300
visiting persons in attendance at the
various sessions of the conference.

Methodists a cordial invitation is ex
tended to all people to be present at
