"Tlie invit tiois -ent io 200 or more p-k:. men. represenog- every section of the United synod. As one of this iamber we earnestly request you to let. nothing prevent you from accepting this invitation. Perhaps never in the history of the world has there been entrusted to men such great ability for the advancement of God's kingdom as now. Never has there been greater need for the full use of this power. "Among all Christians this call comes to'none so elearly or so strong ly -as to Lutherans. Among all Luth erans. to none so strongly as fo us -Lutheran men of the United synod. This is to be a conference of busi- i nes., ien pul*ey. and i to be eonduct ed strictly in a business way i every respect. "No one comes by otial appoint ment and attendance is, therefore. purely voluntary. Each man who comes, comes at his own expense. But we are assured that special' hot el, rates w-ill be secured foi; 1. in Colum bia. The men we most need are our' busiest men. Therefore if you must sacrifice some business interests in order to be presen, y*a .will know that your other breth-ren are doing the same thing. "You are authorized to interest and bring with you any other broth er whose presegee will add to the ef fectiveness of the conference. It. is our hope that this invitation -will come to you as a personal call from: the Lord himself to join in a miove ment which shall not only bless our own generation, but all of the. genera tions following us. - "Please indicate as soon as possi ble in a letter to Mr. W. P. Houseal, seei-etary of the committee, lock box 53, C.oilmJia. S. C, whether or not it will he your purpose to attend this important conference."

The official programme of the con ference has the following to say of the nature of the conference: " This is to be a conference simply. It is not a meeting for the inairura tion of a new and independent mnove-: ment or for the multiplication of ma chinery. It can not and will not leg islate. an'd the r-esuht hoped fromi it is that it may make more effective the organization already ofBicially approv ed by the church. "This is a laymen's conference, -aled not with any idea of partiality toward a particular class of church members. but rather on the other hand with a view to empldi size the fact that the call of the hour is t.o the whole chor-h-to the laymen as well as to the ministers, and to give prominence to ti? still other fact that the time has come when the men Of the church should assume their full share of resposibility and personal activity along with the women who have shown such commendable derv tion.
