Council of City Workers

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

A COUNCIL composed of the leading workers engaged in evangelical work in the large cities of the Eastern States was held in Takoma Park, May 13-16. About fifty city evangelists were present. The great problem which confronts us of planting the standard of truth firmly in these great strongholds of sin, and quickly carrying the message to the millions yet unwarned in these populous centers, seemed to call for such a council.
The special blessing of the Lord was with us in this meeting. It proved in every way a profitable gathering. The most important features of city work were carefully considered. After being thoroughly discussed, the decisions reached were expressed in the form of resolutions, which were adopted by the council. The plans adopted will be followed, so far as possible, in our city work during the summer.
A somewhat full report of the actions of the council has been prepared, and will appear in the Workers' department in the Review and Herald, beginning next week.
A religious liberty institute was held in connection with this council of city workers, a report of which will be given by others.
A work of tremendous proportions looms up before us in the cities, not of America only, but of the whole world. While we must study and plan wisely and carefully, we can succeed in this work only in proportion as our plans and methods of work are given life and power through the Holy Spirit. This work calls for a life of toil and sacrifice, for laborers wholly consecrated to God, willing instruments to be used in winning and saving the lost.
A. G. DANIELLS.
