S. D. A. Educational Society.
THE annual meeting of the stockholders of this society was held in Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 14. The Treasurer's report showed that the receipts for the current year, including on notes issued, were $6,275.61. Disbursements the same, including $161.50 for teachers' salaries for previous year. Present worth of property $40,046.67. Outstanding notes, $9,002.50. Remarks were made by Eld. Littlejohn, President of the College, and W. C. White, and Mrs. E. G. White, about our educational interests and the object of having such a school; also, on the importance of having manual labor connected with study. The committee presented a number of resolutions. In reference to a resolution passed at the preceding annual meeting, that provision be made for a boarding place for students, where manual labor can be given them, it was resolved that $25,000 be raised during the coming year, to pay present indebtedness and make the proposed improvements. And in view of the large number who will need instruction and training as ministers, missionaries, colporters, Bible-readers, and teachers, and that this work will not be self-sustaining, it was resolved to raise an Endowment Fund of $50,000, to be loaned to our various institutions at five per cent., the proceeds to be applied to this object. A recommendation was made that the trustees employ a competent person to instruct missionary workers. A resolution was passed requesting the publication of an address on education, delivered by sister E. G. White before the meeting, Nov. 14. The following-named persons were elected trustees: Geo. I. Butler, W. H. Littlejohn, A. R. Henry, W. H. Hall, J. H. Kellogg, H. W. Kellogg, and W. C. Sisley.
