“DEAR AND BELOVED BRETHREN: We, the Seventh-day Adventist Conference of West Australia, unite in forwarding to you our most heartfelt greeting on this important occasion. We desire to express our steadfast confidence in the message, our loyalty to the General Conference, and our determination to stand by the great principles of the truth that God has revealed. That divine guidance and understanding may be given in all your deliberations and decisions, will ever be our prayer.
