Also th< state-mission-board has been givei the authority this year by the con vention to work untrammeled ii .any way by the convention for th great cause of mission. We shal expect form the state mtssioi board the greatest and most far reaching financial report in it' history. ; Alsp we are meeting this yea at Benedict college, a central lo cation, the Capital of the State The great trouble with a numbe of schools and unions is, you wai too late to make preparatior Procrasternation is the thief o time.
