they could not perform their duties
now on the same basis as 10 or 30
years ago, but each must face prob
lems as they are today.
Giving an outline of the state
program for 1941, he called on all
loyal laymen to assist ministers in
building better churches.
Bishop G. E. Curry of Jacksonville
preached the closing sermon.
The appointments were read at the
