Our people are responding freely to
our debt-paying proposition. For a new
subscription, 5U cents, with name and

the pleasure of helping to cancel the
uebt. A group of new subscribers may
be secured and one-fourth the total
of subscriptions may be sent to us in
one remittance. The plan works beautifully.
It affords the worker something
definite to do for the evangelization
of the world; it contributes to the
huancial support of that great cause,
and it places the Family-Church paper
in homes that need its instruction ami
inspiration.

J. Garrison, evangelist for the Synod of
Aiubama, was with us in meeting from
January 20th to 30th. Twelve persons
uiade a profession of faith in Jesus
Christ and seven of theua joined our
church. Mr. Garrison is proving in this
part of the land that souls can be won
without any of the present-day highpressure
evangelistic methods and practices.
We need more like him.

nlnisters, elders, deacons and Sunday
tchool workers were not present to
tear the fine and uplifting addresses on
Fersonal Work," "Consecrated Possesions,"
"The Church at Work," "Life
nd Leadership," etc.

elegates in all.
At the close of the conference on
Vednesday night, Rev. Mr. Hudson made I
n excellent address on our Mountain
Vork, extending froroi Kentucky to 1
:orth Carolina. There are about 3,- 1
no,000 of these people in the Southern <
fountains. These Highlanders possess 1
ian<y noble qualities of mind and heart,
nd they are of the purest Anglo-Saxon i
lood. They have never had a chance 1
y reason of their seclusion and the l

apathy of the church. i>et us give them

Our peoyie will he glad to kuow that
our cnurch has established In this region
42 schools for boys and alris.
