A Spiritual Conference

THIS conference should be begun, continued, and ended with a deep sense of our need of the divine presence, and with earnest supplications that the Head of the church will order all things according to his own mind. “The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah,” should manifestly rest in every place of meeting, and the unseen Guest should be recognized in every gathering. Our message is the Lord’s message, our work is the Lord’s work, and our conference should be, in a special sense, the Lord’s conference, in which his leadership and complete control shall be accepted in a practical manner. On such a plan as this the conference will be lifted above the plane of a common convention, and will be a place of heavenly light and power. It will then be indeed a spiritual conference.
