APPOINTMENT AT COLLEGE VIEW.
By J. H. Morrison
I HAVE no doubt that all have noticed the appointment of Elders Irwin and Haskell for College View, March 1-10, at which time we expect to hold our District Conference for District 4. I speak of this now so that all our presidents can arrange to meet this appointment, as we hope to have a general attendance of our workers in this field. This will be an important meeting for this District. The business of the district will be considered, as well as some more local matters. Elder Irwin will present, from recent Testimonies, some important matters on the living issues of the day. Elder and Sister Haskell have a message for us on the gospel in its last phase to the remnant church. All will be pleased to see and hear Elder Haskell once more, for his message is living and refreshing. Elder I. H. Evans and Sister Plummer are expected to labor in the interest of the home and foreign mission work. If time permits, there will be some other studies in which all will be interested; such as, The danger of not strictly observing order and system necessary to the good of the church; the danger of losing sight of the signs of the times, and not holding them before the people continually; the great danger of our people's being carried away by the wonder-working power all around us; the danger of not properly presenting the subject of tithes and offerings to our churches; the danger that our workers will fail to set a good example in healthful living; the importance of our city work, and how to conduct it; also the canvassing and colporteur work. These subjects, with many others, might be considered had we time. However, we hope all our ministers will carefully and prayerfully think about them, and be ready to present them, if called upon. As our college homes and sanitarium are well nigh filled with students, patients, etc., we shall find it a difficult matter to furnish room. Hence we ask our presidents to send us a list of those who they expect will attend, so that we may know, in ample time, for how many to prepare. This must be done at once. We request all who come to bring their own bedding, such as bedticks, blankets, quilts, and such things as they may need for their own comfort and convenience in their sleeping-rooms. We will furnish the rooms, with bed springs or bedsteads. Meals will be served in a dining-hall, at reasonable rates. Come, brethren. Come, not as to an entertainment, nor to have a little respite; but come ready to do something, ready to engage in the service of the Lord with all the heart and soul.
