Missionary Convention Programs
THOSE having in charge the preparation of helpful matter for the missionary convention, to be held in all the churches on November 21 and 22, have arranged short readings on various phases of work, as follows:— “A Call to Service,” by Mrs. E. G. White. “Value and Uses of Tracts,” by various writers. “Our Periodicals a Continual Blessing,” by H. H. Hall. “Home Workers with Small Books,” by I. A. Ford. “A Missionary Follow-up System,” by S. N. Curtiss. “Mission and Results of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons’ Work,” by P. T. Magan. These readings are short, and designed merely to introduce the open discussion of methods and plans of work by all the members. The program suggested provides for three meetings, two on the Sabbath and one on Sunday evening, or the latter may be held on the evening after the Sabbath where it is impracticable to meet Sunday evening. The programs will be sent out to the churches from the conference offices. They are printed in the form of The Bible Students’ Library. The time is very short in which to make preparation for these conventions, and conference secretaries will be unable to send the programs out any great length of time before the date set for the conventions. Therefore it will be well for church librarians or elders to call for their mail as late as possible in the week ending November 21, if they have not received the program in earlier mails. These missionary conventions must surely be seasons of great blessing, and an inspiration to very practical missionary effort this coming winter.
