DR. G. CATIPRRLL MORGAN COMING
A Cable Announces That He Sails the First Week in 71 arch and Will be Present at the Opening of the Thirteenth
Annual Tabernacle Conference, 71 ar ch loth.
OR several months the great Tab
ernacle congregation of Atlanta
have been looking forward to en
tering their new church home. Ev
ery energy has been strained to
complete and dedicate it during
the Bible Conference, and to this'
end an effort was put forth to date
the Conference about April 10th, in
F
view of the fact that it was seen early in Decem
ber that to complete the building by March 10th
would be an impossibility. Announcement
had gone forth to the effect that the Confer
ence would be held in the new church. At
the time of the announcement there was no
question as to the possibility of such an ar
rangement. Since that time, however, one or
two hindrances have made it necessary to
change dates. The first and most important
one was the failure of the steel mill to deliver
the steel on contract time. This delayed the
work some sixty days. It was still hoped,
however, to overcome this delay with an in
creased force of workmen. A part of this has
been done, but still not sufficient to warrant
the continuance of the plan to have the regu-
lar March Conference in it. Early in De
cember Dr. Broughton, the director of
the Conference, wrote Dr. Morgan the
facts in the case, asking for a change of
date. In reply there came a cable a few
days since stating that April was impos
sible, as dates for Conferences in Europe
for that time had already been made,
which c0..1d not be annulled or deferred.
Then came the crash of all that the lead
ership of this church had looked forward
to. Should the Conference be held in the
old building, or eliminated from this
year’s program of church work entirely?
Following serious prayer and reflection,
it was decided to have the Conference at
all hazards, even though it required the
use of the present church. Accordingly,
Dr. Morgan was cabled, “Conference
date accepted as per former agreement.
Conference opens March 10th; closes
March 20th.” And thus one of the
strongest features of the program for the
1911 Bible Conference is placed before
the public. There are quite a number
of other speakers of national and interna
tional prominence as Bible teachers who
will be present to take part.
Among this list are: Dr. Henry C. Ma
bie, Educational Secretary of the For
eign Mission Board of the North, who
is recognized as an authority in his line,
and is an author and conference speaker
known on two continents. Also Dr. Cam
den M. Cobern, of Alleghaney, Pa., who
REMEMBER THE PRICE OF THE GOLDEN AGE IS $1.50 UNTIL FEBRUARY Ist.

ranks with the first as a Bible expositor. He
will give a series of addresses on the minor
pi ophets; also Dr. A. T. Robertson, professor
of Greek and New Testament Theology in the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at
Louisville, Ky.; also the world famous mis
sion worker, Melvin Trotter, who is no
stranger to an Atlanta audience.
Great Spiritual Feast.
With this personnel, and others who are to be
added later, the 1911 Conference bids fair to
be the greatest spiritual feast in the history
of the Conferences. Each of these speakers
has grown riper and richer with the years and
will bring to the eager listeners the truth for
which the human heart is so hungry.
Thousands are attracted yearly from all sec
tions of our country. The influence is con
stantly widening and deepening with the
years and the mere announcement of the com
ing of Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, who is so
well known on this platform, is sufficient to
warrant the expectation of record-breaking
crowds.
Book Stall.
Aside from the teachings of the speakers the
Tabernacle will conduct a book stall on
the largest scale yet attempted, supply
ing the best religious literature from all
parts of the world.
Music.
The famous Tabernacle Choir was
never in better shape to render soul-stir
ring and inspiring music. With an array
of 200 voices and a new song book just
received, on which they are spending
three hours per week in practice, there is
no question that the music will be far
above the standard, both in quality and
power. This choir’s aim is to bring a
spiritual message in every song. There
will be a concert at some point during
the Conference.
Entertainment.
As usual, the entertainment feature will
be given careful consideration by the
workers of the Tabernacle. Board can
be provided within two blocks of the
church, at a very nominal price. The La
dies’ Aid Society, will, as usual, conduct
a case in the Sunday School room of the
church, where those desiring to do so
may be served with two meals a day.
Hundreds come for the 9 o’clock hour in
the morning and do not leave until the
last service at night, as six services a day
are held. Those desiring arrangements
for board should communicate at once
with the pastor, Dr. Broughton, or the as
sistant pastor, J. W. Ham.
