THE CONFERENCE.

By James White; Uriah Smith

We have the following additional items of business to present, upon which action was taken subsequently to the publication of the first report in No. 14.
At a meeting of the delegates, at the REVIEW Office, April 4, 1876, Bro. White made very full and clear remarks on the subject of church order, and the course to be pursued with murmurers and complainers; whereupon it was
Voted, That we endorse the sentiments expressed, and request Bro. W. to put them into the form of a resolution to be incorporated into the resolutions of the Conference.
In accordance with this request, he shortly submitted the following which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Conference that the simple organization of our churches, State Conferences, and the General Conference, is good and satisfactory; therefore should be respected by all our people.
Resolved, That church and Conference Officers should be sustained in the performance of their duty while held in Office, and that all persons, whether preachers or common members, who carelessly or willfully disregard the rules and by-laws of our organization become subjects of censure and discipline.
It was then,
Voted, That Eld. Jas. White and U. Smith be a committee to prepare a Conference Address on the subjects which have come up at this meeting.
Adjourned to call of Conference Committee.
JAMES WHITE, Pres.
U. SMITH, Sec.
