Brief Resume of Rev. Wilder' Two

the Idaho conference, which convenes at

wonderfully, not only from a spiritual
but from a financial standpoint as well.
When he came here his first services
were held in one of the ante rooms to
the opera house. Now thero is a (3,000
church and an (800 parsonage all paid for.
The last business meeting of this confer
ence year was held Monday evening and
the books showed no indebtedness.

resent the local church at the lay elec
toral conference, which also meets at
Boise to elect a delegate to represent the
laity of the Idaho conference at the
quadrennial conference at Los Angeles,
which meets next May. He will leave
tomorrow.
