1. The next S. D. A. General Conference will be held in Oakland, Cal., March 27 to April 13, 1903. 2. The members of Oakland, San Francisco, Alameda, and Berkeley churches will put forth strenuous effort to entertain all the delegates, furnishing lodging and breakfast free, the delegates furnishing their own dinner, and supper if desired. 3. Rooms outside will be secured for visitors at from one to five dollars a week according to location, furnishings, etc. 4. A first-class, vegetarian restaurant will be opened for the accommodation of all, run on the European plan, where good meals may be obtained for from 15 to 25 cents. 5. In order to secure accommodations, it will be necessary for both delegates and visitors to send their names at once to the secretary of Committee on Arrangements, C. H. Jones, Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. State just what accommodations are desired, single rooms, single beds or double, or beds in a large room with several others, on the dormitory plan. This latter will be cheaper. 6. It is suggested that all those who can—delegates and visitors—bring blankets. 7.
