THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
By Editor
OUR General Conference, by the time this paper reaches its readers, will have largely completed its work. We have received only a few issues of the Conference Daily Bulletin as yet, owing, as we suppose, to the blocking of trains in the East by the blizzards that have been sweeping over that part of the country. But the news that has reached us shows that this is the best conference ever held by our people. A spirit of harmony and union prevails, and the power and rich blessing of God are manifest in all the meetings. The subject of true Christian education is receiving much attention in the earlier part of the meeting. And the principles that are announced as representing the convictions of those present give great reason to hope for most marked advance moves in all our educational institutions. The divine message, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost," as announced by the Master, is being presented, with the demonstrations of the Spirit and of power, by Elder Ballenger and others. And Elder Brunson's discourse on the preparation for translation at the Lord's soon coming brings vividly to mind some most vital and serious thoughts concerning these times in which we live. Elders Waggoner and Jones are also presenting most valuable Bible studies each day. And we can only wish that all our readers may have the General Conference Daily Bulletin and receive through its columns the full reports of this most timely instruction. Those who do not have the Bulletin can hardly be made to realize what they are missing. The reports that have reached us so far of the business transacted tell only of the preliminary steps that are being taken. We hope to have something definite next week to tell in this direction. T.
