General Conference Matters

By W. T. Knox

THERE have been received so many replies to the advertisement for help in the dining-room and store at the coming General Conference that no further attempt will be made to acknowledge their receipt. Selections from these applications will be made in the near future, and the persons chosen will be notified. We ask all to kindly accept this as an acknowledgment of their applications.
A great number of applications have been received for privileges to conduct certain lines of business at the General Conference session. These requests include many kinds of enterprises, such as oculists' services, medical devices, food displays, and photography, which, if they were all granted, would bring into the meeting an undesirable feature of commercialism. The General Conference Committee, in order to conserve the best interests of the meeting, has decided to grant no concessions of this character, and to exert its influence against all forms of business enterprises on grounds. The committee will endeavor to provide for all the necessities of those attending a well-conducted dining-room, lunch-counter, general store, and bookstand. W. T. KNOX.
