well ho will tit in away down
South in a conference- where his
will bo the only member with a
' sure enough white face, is to be
shottn when the time comes. Personally
we have no fear, if he
i oir.es with a heart full of Christian
love and fellowship; if he
comes us a full hearted brother to
' work with a bunch of full hearted
L brethren; ail having one big aim

s w liy not a glorious session?
If we have been correctly inform
ed at this session a vote is to be
taken 011 the great question of
V judication. . This question furnishes
food for thought. It is
1 >tnc that should be approached care
j ?ully and prayerfully. Each member
of the conference has a per.
