as CONFERENCE OF RELIGIONS 473 Urdu provided that the former have no objection to accepting such help. 11. Speakers are requested to write their speeches in a legible hand, because no one will be allowed to make any oral speech in the conference, nor will he be suffered to make any alteration in or addition to what he has already reduced to black and white. These papers with the signature of each speaker together with his proper address and title are to be made over afterwards to the secretary of the conference. A speaker may retain a copy of his paper if he chooses to do so. 12. He who will not observe the above condi- tions as to writing his paper will not be allowed to speak in the conference, nor will he be deemed entitled to those allowances which have been referred to in paras 2 and 3; but in all other respects he is equally welcome to hospitality with other guests. 13. All the speeches shall be printed and published by me afterwards in one volume. 14. All the gentlemen who intend to take any part in this holy gathering are requested to inform me of their intention before the end of May 1896. And if the number of representatives of any community is more than one, the one elected by the majority of his community will be regarded as its representative.
