ATLANTIC CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS.

By A. E. Place; C. H. Keslake

The tenth annual session of the Atlantic Conference was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church (No. 1), of Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 7–13, 1899. Since the division of the Conference, which was effected last April, there have been but three ministers, five licentiates, and two Bible workers laboring in this Conference. There were twelve churches with a total membership of seven hundred and fifty-eight. Two new churches were received, increasing the membership to seven hundred and ninety-nine. This, however, does not represent the net increase of membership in the Conference, as there have been added to the churches considerably over a hundred persons.

The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, A. E. Place; Vice-President, J. E. Jayne; Secretary, C. H. Keslake; Treasurer, L. T. Nicola; Custodian of Conference property, R. G. Patterson; Canvassing Agent, Geo. A. King. Conference Committee: A. E. Place, J. E. Jayne,
