HOtfTREAT CONFFRFVCFS FOR Iftll
We present here the outline program
for the Montreat Conferences for 1911.
As It was necessary for this program to
go to press in May, it was impossible
to give all the minute details. We have
given only the general outlines. Other
features will be added.
First of all we introduce our readers
to some of our principal speakers. Many
of these names are familiar; others
will be new. We are confident that no
stronger set of speakers and leaders
have ever appeared on the platform at
Montreat.
Following the list of speakers you
will find the program itself- We trust
that you will take the time to read
it with care. We are sure that you
will be interested in the great themes
which are to be presented during the
Conferences.
The Bible Course alone, taught by
Dr. R. C. Pearson, Dr. Theron H. Rice
and Dr. Henry Alexander White, would
Justify your spending six weeks at
Montreat. It is a rare privilege to sit
at the feet of such teachers. Observe
too the list of great preachers on the

call your attention to all the excellent
features. Read the program and see
them for yourself.
After the program you will find references
to other attractions which you
will find at Montreat during the summer.
Last of all you will come to the
detailed information as to accommodations,
rates, railroads, and so forth.
Montreat is the Presbyterian Mecca.
In addition to the good which you will
receive from the conferences outlined
in this program, you will meet here
more cultured, congenial, Christian people,
whom you will find helpful and
THE PRESBYTERI
uplifting, than you will meet anywhere
else in all this part of the country.

instructive, but fascinating, and it was
listened to with the deepest interest by
