In the discussion that followed the suggestion, the problem of a location for the conference which would be suitable, and to some extent convenient, for those who wanted to attend but lived far South, presented itself. Joe Bell stated that he was particularly interested and anxious to get some delegates to the conference in order to talk over the matter of youth's position in the United Ghurch. Mr, Bell is on the committee on Unification in the National Council of Methodist Youth. Wallace Nelson stated that since the ^'numfcretr .:i of delegates from the/other two churches would be far smaller than that from our church, the location should be selected with that in mind. After a rather lengthy discussion, the matter was suspended and would be taken up again in the Report on Invitations, "4iich was the next item on the agenda.
