Thirty-Fourth Meeting

By A. G. DANIELLS; W. A. SPICER

The thirty-fourth meeting was called at 8:30 A. M., May 30, L. R. Conradi in the chair.
M. C. Wilcox led in prayer.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
F. W. Field presented the following resolution:—
Whereas, The Lord has gone before us into Korea, leading souls to accept the truth in that new field; and,—
Whereas, Korea is, geographically, commercially, and politically, closely connected with Japan; therefore,—
Resolved, That the Korean field be attached to the Japan Mission under one management.
The resolution was adopted.
A. G. Daniells asked Brother Field to convey to our Korean brethren our greetings, and to tell them how the progress of truth in Korea had thrilled our hearts with new hope. It has shown what the Lord can do in a little time. One day with him is as a thousand years, and he can do as much in a day as we might naturally look to see accomplished in many years.
The committee on plans presented a further report, as follows:—
75. We recommend, That the International Tract Society of Hamburg and the Pacific Press Publishing Company of California arrange for the publication of the larger Spanish books, and that we encourage authors, agents, and societies to co-operate in centralizing this work in these two places.
76. We recommend, The publication of the manuscript by Professor Caviness on Revelation, if approved by the representatives from the Spanish fields.
77. We recommend, That a committee consisting of J. W. Westphal, G. M. Brown, and H. F. Ketring, be asked to select portions of “Great Controversy” for translation into the Spanish language.
Believing the Scriptures thoroughly furnish us unto all good works not only in spiritual themes, but also in financial matters,—
78. We recommend, To the favorable consideration of our ministers and people, the study and adoption of the second tithe; the funds thus obtained to be used in educational, philanthropic, charitable, and missionary work.
Whereas, The public press of the city of Washington, both during the sessions of this convention and for several months preceding, have given full and impartial reports of our work and principles, thereby demonstrating their spirit of fairness and liberality; therefore,—
79. Resolved, That we extend to these papers our hearty thanks for their courteous consideration.
On motion to adopt, free discussion was had of recommendation 78. Brethren N. P. Nelson and O. A. Olsen spoke of personal blessings in following the plan. C. Santee reported it as being followed with good results in southern California. The first tithe had increased also. Brethren Farnsworth and Irwin testified to the good results derived from the plan in Australia. Brethren Underwood, Wilcox, and Andross favored the recommendation as to study of the plan, yet felt that stress should be laid upon the obligation of the first tithe. Other brethren spoke to the recommendation, the sentiment being that we must remember that it will take all to buy the field, and that very definitely and systematically we must bring into the Lord’s treasury in tithes and offerings all that he enables us to bring. Thus needed funds would be provided for all branches of the work at home and abroad, andwords were also spoken. Our people were urged to put on the whole armor of God, and having done all, to stand.
Following this talk, the committee on credentials and licenses presented its report, which, as amended, was adopted, as follows:—
