Selected Messages, Volume 3 - Ellen G. White

This session, attended by ninety-one delegates,
was held October 17 to November 4 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, in our newly built church.
As is customary, a number of Seventh-day
Adventists who were not delegates were also
present. The session was preceded by a seven-day
ministerial institute, which met from October 10
through October 16. The Bible studies commenced
in the institute in some cases continued into the
General Conference session, occupying the Bible
study hour.
Ellen White was present and participated in
both the institute and the nineteen-day session. The
session itself was quite routine, but constructive.
Reports were received and meetings of various
associations, such as Sabbath School, Health and
Temperance, and Tract and Missionary, were held.
Fields of labor were assigned to the ministers,
plans were laid for the advancement of the cause,
officers were elected, and committees appointed.
An on-the-ground review of accomplishments
and sentiments comes to us from the pen of W. C.
