OUR General Conference, consisting of delegates from all parts of the world, is convening in Washington, D. C., on Thursday, May 15. This will be one of the largest as well as one of the most important meetings ever held by our people, and questions of great import for the advancement of this work will be considered. On Tuesday, May 6, our Pacific Coast delegation started,—four car-loads in all. Two cars went over the Washington-Sunset route, by the way of New Orleans. One of these was filled with delegates and visitors to the conference from the territory around San Francisco Bay. The other car was loaded largely by delegates in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the southern part of the state. Two of the cars went over the Santa Fe; and we notice in the list of those who were to occupy these cars, quite a number of our college men, as well as some of our conference presidents, our union conference president, E. E. Andross, and W. C. White, who is well known to our readers, and some of the leaders in the publishing work. Those attending the conference from this office are: C. H. Jones, our president and general manager; H. G. Childs, our secretary and treasurer; M. C. Wilcox, the senior editor of this paper; H. H. Hall, the well-known manager of our book work; and J. R. Ferren, Pacific Union missionary secretary. Mrs. H. H. Hall and Mrs. J. R. Ferren accompany their husbands.
