used In local "churches for small edn- ,
catiooai exhibits of missionary work
was placed in the lobby and three little
demonstrations of missionary work
in foreign lands were given in connection
with it. The demonstrations
being given by delegates in the conlerences
and were prepared after their
arrival.
The conference is the largest since
the burning of K3nilworth Inn more
than four years ago, which shows that
the permanent location of the conference
on the spacious grounds and de
light ful buildings of the Blue Ridge
Association means added permanency
for the work and there is no reason
why we should not have a larger delegation
next sammer Two of the delegates
who were at the conference
last summer were present this summer,
each one of them having given some
time to securing other delegates with
result that there was about a dozen in
each party.
