The Tone of the Conference
By Arthur G. Daniells
ALTHOUGH exceedingly busy, it is a pleasure to stop a moment, and to tell the readers of the REVIEW a word or two regarding the opening of the General Conference. The delegation represents all parts of the world, and there is a large attendance of brethren and sisters who have come to the meeting because of their deep interest in it. The tone of the meeting is decidedly pronounced. Harmony, confidence, zeal, and a determination to press the battle to the gates of the enemy are the most prominent features of the gathering. The two leading features that seem to dominate the hearts of all in both the home and foreign lands, are, first, the revival of the old advent message, and, second, the consecration of our lives and means to its speedy proclamation to all the world. Unbounded confidence in this message and movement, and in its final and speedy triumph, is expressed by the pioneers who have been long in the way, and by the younger men who are just buckling on the armor. So far, everything in the meeting indicates that this will prove to be one of the best sessions of the General Conference we have ever held, and that it will mark a new and cheering era to all our people in this glorious work. Thus we are still further encouraged to say to our dear people, Be of good cheer. God is in charge. He has never failed, and he will cause this movement to triumph gloriously.
