Annual Report of Sedalia District Conference Leader
Dear Brethren and members of the Sedalia District Conference of the Central Missouri Annual Conference I submit a six month progress report. Conditions across the district are prosperous with enthusiasm from clergy and lay members, harmony with leadership, and improving appointments at Wellington. Springfield faces despondency from riot violence but Pitts Chapel shows brighter prospects. Benevolences rise unevenly. efforts to boost them continue. Most charges report membership gains with several conversions and baptisms. Sunday schools vary in success. Epworth and Junior Leagues lack full equipment in many charges yet some districts show good progress. The ministerial calling is presented as highly important with potential for growth through faith and work. ministers are respected as leaders and counselors. Yours respectfully, W H Smrru P E.
