Harter to Lead District of Columbia Conference

THE past week arrangements were completed opening the way for Elder R. E. Harter, of Eastern Pennsylvania, to take the presidency of the District of Columbia Conference. This was made necessary by the removal of Elder J. L. McElhany to New York to take the presidency of the Greater New York Conference. Brother Harter is in the midst of a large and very successful tent effort in the city of Philadelphia, and will not be able to assume his new duties here until about the first of October. J. S. Washburn, of Memphis, Tenn., connects with the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference in city evangelistic work, thus releasing Brother Harter for Washington. It is felt that Brother Harter’s long experience in large city efforts will admirably fit him to do a good work in this important city, the capital of the nation, and to the end that souls here will be reached with the truth the prayers of God’s people are earnestly solicited. Clear evidence has been given that the Lord has guided in this important move.
