Knox, the union conference presidents of North America, the secretaries of departments, and five additional members, as provided for by the constitution, as follows: Dr. W. A. Ruble, Frederick Griggs, R. A. Underwood, W. W. Prescott, and L. M. Bowen. Secretary of Press Bureau: W. L. Burgan. While the name of the nominee for treasurer was before the conference, a statement was made by W. T. Knox as follows: I am sure that all will recognize the desirability from the standpoint of both the General Conference and the North American Division that the division conference should have its own treasurer. The work in the General Conference treasury department ever since I have been connected with it, has been all that I have been equal to, and it is growing heavier each year. This change that has come into our organization does not lessen the volume of the work of the two conferences. And the interests of the North American Division are such that it should have a treasurer of its own. They recognize that, and are aiming to secure it. I have had a conversation with Elder Evans, and it is understood between us that my name is presented on the condition that I be relieved of all responsibility in the office at the time of the fall council.
