i Rev j. H. Smith was a LEADING
light in the work of the Pastors
Council. Each suggestion made b.
him was caught up by the Brethren
(, and put in the light Of the tangible'
for good results. Mrs. Arlington, th'
! conference president, was presen

Missionary Society. Mrs. S. b. Smitl
of Cowanville, and Mrs. Amanda
Owens of Lees Chapel. Mrs S. L
johnson, the district president, wa
, III and could not be present but sen
Christian greetings.
The most remarkable thing in tn,
Pastors Council was the harmony ant
I the Willingness Of the ministers ant
laymen to pledge for greater con
nectional claims in every department
of the church. They made the Pre-
siding Elder feel proud Of his helpers
as never before.
