Soon our world conference will be in session in San Francisco, California. The General Conference proper opens Monday night, July 10; but the precouncil meetings of the Ministerial Association begin Friday, July 7, at 1145 P.M., in Polk Hall "A." These preliminary meetings will be the focal point of interest for every Bible instructor.
For months the precouncil program has been In the process of development, and should serve well the needs of every evangelistic worker privileged to attend. The Bible instructor's work is so definitely that of the minister's helper in evangelism, which is the supreme task to which all workers are committed, that these meetings should be faithfully attended by every' Bible instructor present.
A feast of good things has been carefully pre pared for the precouncil. The large attendance of overseas workers will bring added vision and breadth to all the important discussions. The urgency of our message, its new and varied approaches, and its more recently tried-out methods for more successful work for those who have yet to hear it contribute a great challenge to every Seventh-day Adventist worker.
Though this great world conference will provide a warm fellowship we will long cherish, its basic purpose is to focus our attention on its deeply spiritual and helpful instruction. Conditions in the world indicate that all too soon our present privileges for communicating with our worldwide worker family may be changed to isolation. So while the blessing of gathering together in such an assemblage may still be en joyed, let every Bible instructor who is arranging to attend the General Conference plan to be there in time for these important precession meetings. We of the Ministerial Association will be happy to welcome you personally. So come early, and share these spirit-filled meetings-with those who will be present. Frequent Bible instructor meetings are planned throughout the period of the General Conference. More on this next month.
