CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE

By Editor

ELDER HASKELL objected somewhat strenuously to being re-elected to the Presidency of the California Conference; not because of any lack of interest in the work in this important field, but because it will be impossible for him to spend as much time on this coast as he considers necessary to do justice to the position. All appreciate his feelings, and would be glad to have him spend much more time with us than he possibly can with so many other duties devolving upon him. But we urged, and we think with good reason, that, as he understands the work and its wants in all its branches in this Conference, and is well acquainted with the workers here, he can manage its affairs to much greater satisfaction than could one who might be here all the time, but who lacked experience and administrative ability. The condition of the cause here—the management of its finances during the past year—gives the utmost satisfaction to all friends of the cause. If we faithfully do our part as laborers and church members, we may safely count on a year of prosperity before us.
