FLORIDA CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS.

By L. H. Crisler; Estelle R. Graham

The sixth annual session of the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was held in connection with the camp-meeting at Lakeland, Nov. 3-12, 1899; only two meetings were held, at which Elder L. H. Crisler presided. Brother Allee was present, and assisted in counsel. Seventeen delegates, representing eight churches, were in attendance. Two new churches were added to the roll of churches,—one at Nocatee and one at Orlando, and the church at Eustis was disbanded on account of removals.
At Elder Crisler's earnest request, he was relieved from the burdens of Conference president. Officers for the following year were elected as follows: President, Irving Keck; Secretary, Mrs. Altana Keck; Treasurer, Florida Tract Society. Executive Committee: Irving Keck, L. H. Crisler, J. D. Heacock, A. M. Morrill, J. W. Clement.
Ministerial credentials were given to L. H. Crisler, M. G. Huffman, and M. L. Ivory. Brother Ivory received ordination during the Conference. Ministerial licenses were granted to C. B. Stephenson, A. C. Bird, Irving Keck. Missionary licenses were voted to C. P. Whitford, Josephine Grannis, Mrs. Estelle R. Graham, Mrs. Altana Keck, F. R. Lester, W. H. Maynard.
The importance of the tithe being kept sacred for the purpose for which God designed it, was again considered, and the Conference voted that this be done.
The meetings passed harmoniously, and we believe that God guided in the work that was done, and in the plans for future work.
L. H. CRISLER, Pres.
ESTELLE R. GRAHAM, Sec.
