A. G. Daniells in the chair. Prayer was offered by M. C. Wilcox.

H. W. Cottrell presented a memorial from the president of the Virginia Conference, R. D. Hottel, in which were stated some special reasons why that conference should receive financial assistance from the general body, which, it was stated by Brother Cottrell, it was impossible for the Atlantic Union Conference to render.

It was voted that the appeal be referred to the General Conference Committee, with the request that it take the matter into consideration and bring forward such plans as will meet the situation.

It was also voted that the memorial presented by G. G. Rupert, regarding the Arkansas Conference, be referred to the General Conference Committee.

The chairman then read a communication from S. N. Haskell, regarding the importance of making greater effort in behalf of the work in the larger cities of our country, which communication was, upon motion of G. I. Butler, referred to the General Conference Committee, with the instruction to that committee that they do the very best in their power to furnish the assistance desired.

The following resolutions were adopted:—

Resolved, That this General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists recognizes the courtesy shown to it by the press of San Francisco and Oakland, and hereby expresses its appreciation of the same.

Resolved, That we express our gratitude and thankfulness for the kind, generous, and hospitable way in which the Pacific Union and the California Conferences, the Pacific Press Publishing Co., and the members of the Oakland church have entertained us in their institutions and homes.

Resolved, That we hereby express our appreciation of the efforts of Brother E. G. Fulton, restaurant manager of the St. Helena Food Co., and his assistants, to provide the delegates with hygienic meals, and also tender our thanks for the kind and affable manner in which the service has been rendered.

Resolutions in appreciation of faithful services rendered were passed in behalf of the stenographers reporting the proceedings, the editors of the Bulletin, and the printing-office workers engaged nightly in the preparation of the paper.
