Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Council Meeting
The following pages well illustrate how widely and beneficently the in?uence of an alert and wise pre siding elder can be extended by conveying needed information and suggestion to all the church officers entitled to seats in the Quarterly Conference. The local traditions and customs of a circuit sometimes override the distinct provisions of the Discipline. The people may not perish for lack of spiritual knowledge; but the work of the Church sometimes lags or fails for the lack of business or legal knowl edge, much of which can be gathered from a careful study of our form of Discipline. Church officers of every kind and grade should be familiar with the pages of that wonderful little book, and one excellent result of Brother Wilson's practical and pertinent suggestions in this pamphlet will be to send local preachers, stewards, trustees, and other officers to the Discipline itself, in which the following pages cannot fail to arouse an intelligent interest.
