General Sabbath-School Association.
THE sixth annual session of this Association was held in Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 10, 20. The Executive Committee having previously arranged subjects for discussion, the following were presented: How to Study the Lesson, by Eld. M. H. Brown; Teachers' Meetings, by W. C. White; Sabbath-school Conventions, by A. D. Olsen; Camp-meeting Sabbath-schools, by J. H. Durham. Elders S. N. Haskell and D. A. Robinson were requested to prepare a Bible-reading on the subject of Sabbath offerings. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted:— WHEREAS, There are many of the most studious members of our schools who, in preparing their lessons, study the synopsis of the lesson as printed in the Instructor without a study of the Bible itself; therefore, Resolved, That we recommend to the careful consideration of the Executive Committee, and the lesson writer in particular, the advisability of discontinuing the synopsis for a time, and using in its stead the references to the Scripture proofs. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, W. C. White; Vice-President, O. A. Olsen; Recording Secretary, D. A. Robinson; Corresponding Secretary, Winnie Loughborough; Assistant Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. M. K. White. Executive Committee: W. C. White, O. A. Olsen, G. H. Bell, E. B. Miller, and R. M. Kilgore. Publishing Committee: W. C. White, Dr. E. J. Waggoner, and G. H. Bell.
