delegates, various cOnnectlonal OIL
ficers, applicants for admission on
trial and for orders, and scores Oh
visitors from practically every Sec
ton of north Georgia. will be in at
tendance. Reservations have already
been made by the committee on en-
tertainment at two of Atlanta's most
popular hotels, where the entire con-
ference delegation will be entertain
ed during the week.
A feature of the approaching ses-
sion of the conference will be the
presence Of five distinguished blsh-
ops-Bishop William B. Murrah, OF
Memphis, who will preside; Bishop
Warren A. Gambler, of Atlanta;
Bishop Horace M. DuBose, of Berke-
ley, Cal; Bishop w. B. Beauchamp,
of Nashville, Tenn, and Bishop Will
liam F. McMurry, of st. Louis. Blsh-
Oh Murrah has never before presided
over the North Georgia Conference,
and evinced almost boyish delight at
the general conference last May
when he was assigned to the Georgia
area.
Active Bishop
He is one of the most elderly OIL
the active bishops of the church,
and on account of his lovable dis
position and deep piety is popularity
known as the Saint John" OF the
Episcopal family. He will be de-
cidedly popular with the membership
of the conference. For the past SIX
wears Bishop Gambler has presided
over the Georgia conferences, but
has this year been assigned to anoth-
err Episcopal district. However,
since he has no conference Of his
own scheduled for next week, 1t is
expected that he will be daily
visitor to the conference.
Bishop DuBose, a former member

ries of addresses on Christian educa'
ton during the week, it is an
nounced. Bishop Beauchamp, VINO
has recently returned from an evan
gelistic tour of Europe, will repre-
sent the interests of the centenary

claims of the board of church eX-
tension in the absence of the secre-
tary, DR.. T. D. Ellis, formerly OF
