BEST SESSION OF CHRISTIAN BODY
----------------------------
   The Alabama Christian Conference convened last Wednesday [20 October 1915] at Rock 
Stand—one day late. In spite of the inclement weather every church in the conference except 
one was represented.

   Officers were elected as follows:

   Pres.[ident], Rev. G. O. LANKFORD;
   Vice Pres., Rev. J. W. ELDER;
   Sec.[retary], Rev. E. M. CARTER;
   Asst. Sec., Rev. J. H. HUGHES;
   Treas.[urer], Rev. J. M. WELCH.

   Reports from ministers and churches were good, the churches having made substantial gains 
in the matter of finance and in membership.
   During the year progressive Home Mission work has been done. Steps were taken leading to 
an enlargement of this phase of the work. Reports from various committees showed progress.
   Addresses by different ones were instructive and inspiring. Rev. G. D. HUNT preached ably 
Wednesday evening. Dr. W. A. HARPER delivered a masterly address Thursday morning, after which 
Rev. B. J. EARP, of Columbus, Ga., preached a soul-stirring sermon.
   Though limited in time, this was one of the best sessions of the conference ever held. 
The next meeting will be held at Dingler’s Chapel.
