the Student Volunteer Movement.
This Council meets annually at New

of the desire to make the movement

the policies of the movement for the
ensuing year.
Mr. Patterson reports a very pleas¬
ant trip. He says that New York
Is almost as big as Birmingham. They
are behind with their hauling up there
according to his account but he ex¬
presses the beliel that at the rate they
were going when he was there they
will soon be up.

built for him a monument like that
of George Washington.
