Pacific Union Conference — Biennial Session
By E. E. Andross
THE Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, embracing the territory of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, and including six organized conferences and one mission field, will meet in biennial session at Oakland, Tuesday, March 10, and continue till March 22. The conference will be held in the Seventh-day Adventist church, 537 Twenty-fifth Street, near Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, California. Delegates will be in attendance from all parts of the field, representing a constituency of about ten thousand. Pastor I. H. Evans, president of the North American Division Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and vice-president of the General Conference; Pastor W. A. Spicer, secretary of the General Conference; Pastor W. T. Knox, treasurer of the General Conference and of the North American Division Conference; and Pastor G. B. Thompson, secretary of the North American Division Conference, will be in attendance at the conference from the beginning. Others prominent in the denomination in this country may be in attendance. Pastor J. N. Loughborough, one of the pioneers of the denomination, being one of the first to be ordained to the ministry, and having served in that capacity over sixty years, will be present if his health will permit. A ministerial institute will be held in connection with the conference, beginning Sabbath, March 14, and continuing to the close of the conference. A large number of ministers and other missionary workers besides the regular delegates will be in attendance. Matters of considerable importance to the work in this field in general, and especially to the educational work, will receive attention. Officers for the ensuing biennial period will be elected. Following this conference, the annual meeting of the St. Helena Sanitarium will be held, March 23, at the sanitarium; and March 25 to 29 the College of Medical Evangelists, of Loma Linda, California, will hold its annual meeting at Loma Linda, near Redlands. In connection with this latter meeting, the spring council of the General Conference Committee and the North American Division Conference Committee will be held. The presidents of the various union conferences of North America are expected to attend. On account of having been under a continual heavy pressure for so long a time, it seems necessary for Pastor A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, to take a period of rest; hence he will not be present at any of the above mentioned meetings. We request all friends of this world-wide movement which is to prepare a people to meet the soon-coming Saviour, to pray for the descent of the Holy Spirit upon His servants as they plan for the extension of His kingdom. E. E. Andross,
President Pacific Union Conference.
