Twenty-seventh Meeting

By George A. Irwin; Henry E. Osborne

SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 8 P. M.
The following resolutions were presented to the Conference:—
Resolved, That suitable men be chosen from the field to lay before our people in the older and more prosperous conferences the needs of various struggling institutions and the missionary enterprises in the South and other needy fields.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Conference that the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association ought not to rebuild its factory in Battle Creek.
Resolved, That if the stockholders should deem it advisable to wind up the business of the corporation, such action would meet with the approval of this Conference.
Resolved, That we suggest that favorable consideration should be given to proposals which may look to the transfer of the REVIEW AND HERALD and the Youth’s Instructor to some publishing concern organized in the Eastern States, according to the counsel of the General Conference Committee.
Resolved, That we request the International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association so to arrange its constituency, and its constitution governing the same, that it may be indisputably and always a department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
These resolutions were discussed and adopted.
A recommendation that the proposed educational council should be held in College View, Neb., June 19-28, was referred to the General Conference Committee.
