The Maritime Conference

By Wm. Guthrie

The time of this conference has been fixed for September 13-23, and it will be held at Williamsdale Academy. Rooms will be furnished free, and a charge of only ten cents a' meal will be made, to cover part of the expense of food. We expect the usual reduced rate of one fare for the round trip on the certificate plan to Oxford Junction. From here teams will convey passengers to the school and return for fifty cents each.

We are in the most important time in the history of this message, consequently this is the most important meeting that has ever been arranged for in this field. Things are moving fast now, and advance steps in the work are called for. You have a responsibility that you can not shift to another, and should not wish to shift if you could, and your presence is needed from the very first of this gathering to discharge this God-given trust. We are planning for you to be here; are you preparing to come?

The first session of the conference will be held at 9 A. M., Friday, September 14, and a full delegation is much desired at this meeting. This is the time to elect officers for the coming year, and to make such other changes as may seem best for the good of the Lord's work. We expect Elder G. A. Irwin to be with us from the first, and are sure that he will have a message for us from the Lord.

Ask God to help you to come, believe that he hears you, and you know that you have the petition that you desire of him.

Wm. Guthrie, President.
