Conference, right here in this city; not wait until it
is done, and then find, - not wait till it is all done

see what can be done. We want to know what can
be done right here; we want to know what can be
done right now, and what power and intellect that
there is that shall be brought into this work, and
that they shall unite their powers and take hold of it
