The Autumn Council

By Editor

As we go to press, the autumn council of the General Conference and the North American Division Conference is opening at Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. Two or three days prior to the opening of the council, members of the board of the Loma Linda Medical College met for the consideration of the business of that institution.

We note the following in attendance at the council from outside of Washington: Elder and Sister S. N. Haskell, Elders Geo. I. Butler, R. A. Underwood, E. E. Andross, W. H. Branson, L. H. Christian, M. N. Campbell, C. W. Flaiz, G. F. Haffner, C. F. McVagh, Chas. Thompson, S. E. Wight, R. D. Quinn, B. E. Miller, C. B. Stephenson, A. O. Tait; Brethren C. H. Jones, S. N. Curtiss, H. G. Childs, H. H. Hall, R. L. Pierce, M. F. Knox, Steen Rasmussen, G. H. Curtis; P. T. Magan, M. D., Newton Evans, M. D., E. A. Sutherland, M. D.

In both the General Conference and the Division a large amount of business awaits attention at the autumn council. It is at this time that the calls are made by the fields for workers and for appropriations to meet the demands of the enlarging work. The North American Division has many missionary needs to be fostered within its territory, and all the mission fields under the General Conference have sent in their calls both for appropriations and for laborers. Field by field these calls will be considered, and decisions reached as to general plans for the year 1917. As we mingle with the brethren at the council, we find them bringing in very encouraging reports as to progress in all parts of the field. In our next number we shall expect some reports from the council.
