Mr. Massey who led the ticket but did not receive a majority in the first election, is serv ing as temporary director.

Miller, the Associational Superintend ent, has prepared a great program. Every W. M. S. and the auxiliary organizations should be well repre sented. Wednesday morning comes the Evangelistic Conference. Dr. B. S. Railey, Atlanta, will be in ■ charge, and the pastors and leaders in all our churches will discuss the task that is ours in leading the lost to the Lord. This is very important, and other things should be dropped that we might have this Conference. On Thursday comes the Sunday School Convention. Every Sunday fully organized, new districts will be laid out in that part of the state and a director will be elected from each of the districts.
