The Training School Association
The first (special) meeting of the members of the International Medical Missionary Training School Association was held at Berrien Springs, Mich., May 17-20, in connection with the meeting of the Lake Union Conference. The constituency of this association is composed of the members of the following boards and committees: The General Conference Committee, the Michigan Sanitarium and Benevolent Association, the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association of Battle Creek, Mich., the International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association, the Seventh-day Adventist Central Educational Association, and the Lake Union Conference. Of this number twenty persons responded to the roll-call. This being the first meeting of the association, considerable time was occupied in answering inquiries concerning its organization, financial standing, and the contract which had been entered into with the International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association for the lease and final disposal of its property. This opened the way for a frank statement on the part of several delegates present concerning the attitude of the people in the field toward the Missionary Acre Fund, and for an explanation of the reason why more money was not realized from that source. The treasurer, S. H. Lane, presented his report, from which it appeared that the resources of the association were $106,122.26 and the liabilities were $93,949.17. The following-named persons were elected trustees for the term of four years: S. H. Lane, A. T. Jones, Ezra Brackett, W. H. Edwards, P. T. Magan, and R. R. Kennedy. The board of trustees afterward organized by the choice of the following officers: President, A. T. Jones; Secretary, W. H. Edwards; Treasurer, P. T. Magan.
