CALIFORNIA STATE MEETING.

By D. T. Bourdeau; J. F. Wood

We, the Seventh-day Adventists of California, being desirous to concentrate our efforts to advance the truth, and to move forward without distraction and in harmony with the body of Seventh-day Adventists, not being organized as yet into churches, so that a Conference can be organized, hereby organize ourselves into a State Meeting by the adoption of the following regulations:
ART. 1. The officers of this meeting shall be a President, Secretary, Treasurer, and an Executive Committee of three, of whom the President shall be one.
ART. 2. The President shall perform the duties usually devolving upon such officer.
ART. 3. The Secretary shall keep a faithful record of the doings of this meeting, and of all subsequent meetings.
ART. 4. The Treasurer shall be authorized to receive and disburse, under the direction of the Executive Committee, such means as may be raised by the Seventh-day Adventists, of California, for the advancement of the truths of the third angel's message in this State. He shall also keep a faithful record of the receipts and disbursements of means, and report the same to the next State Meeting.
ART. 5. The Executive Committee shall have the oversight of the affairs connected with the advancement of the cause in this State. A majority of their board may call the next State Meeting at such time and place as they deem proper.
After the adoption of the above regulations the following officers were elected: President, D. T. Bourdeau, Secretary, J. F. Wood, Treasurer, J. N. Loughborough, Executive Committee, D. T. Bourdeau, M. G. Kellogg, John Bowman.
The following resolutions were then introduced and adopted:

Resolved, that we will do what we can on our part to sustain the mission in California by our sympathies, our prayers, and our means.
