Reorganization of the General Conference Executive Committee.
By H. E. Osborne
During the week beginning February 11, several non-resident members of the General Conference Committee were called to Battle Creek for the performance of their duties as members of the Auditing Committee. This gave favorable opportunity for the consideration of important business relating to the General Conference. The present constitution of the General Conference provides that the Executive Committee “shall have power to organize itself by choosing a chairman, a secretary, a treasurer, and an auditor,” together with “all necessary agents and committees for the conduct of its work.” The policy of the present Executive Committee, as outlined at the late General Conference, has been to elect its own officers, and those of its departments, yearly rather than for the biennial term. Accordingly, the reorganization of the General Conference Committee was effected during these meetings. While its membership remains the same as heretofore, some changes were made in the personnel and organization of its departments. For the information of REVIEW readers, we present herewith a directory of the officers and departments of the General Conference Committee as now organized. PRESIDENT: A. G.
