An informal meeting of the constituency of the General Conference Corporation was called, following a meeting of the General Conference Association.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.22

A. G. Daniells: The corporation can not hold a legal meeting until June 11. We had the appointment out, but in the pressure of work at the opening of the Conference we let it slip. The next earliest date we could legally appoint was June 11. We can submit our report informally and have all the discussion, but the corporation must act legally on the 11th of June. Would you like to hear the report of the corporation? [Assent given.] The treasurer will read his report.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.23

The report of the General Conference Corporation was read, as found on page 21 of the BULLETIN.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.24

A. G. Daniells: I do not know that we need to make any motion to adopt, but we can discuss it informally. Are there any questions concerning this report?GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.25

H. Shultz: What is the corporation drawing interest on?GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.26

I. H. Evans: It is drawing interest on the bills receivable from various sources that are owing the corporation. You may ask how we get bills receivable. I would say, By borrowing money and loaning. Sometimes a certain institution has needed help financially, so the General Conference Corporation has loaned sister institutions money, and taken their notes for it, and they have paid interest on these notes to reimburse the General Conference Corporation for the interest it is paying.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.27

C. M. Christiansen: I would like to inquire where the real estate is located?GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.28

I. H. Evans: The real estate is located here in Washington, D. C., and consists of the General Conference building, and the lots near by, which we bought when we first came here. The corporation has no real estate in any other place than here in Washington, except a few lots that have come to us through wills.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.29

A. G. Daniells: If there are no questions or criticisms, we will consider that you approve of the report, and we will submit the question formally at the time of the legal meeting. You have heard the report, and we are adjourned.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.30

By the aid of the stereopticon, on Tuesday evening, members of the Medical Missionary Department gave the large congregation a graphic review of our medical missionary work in various lands. Last night the evening hour was again devoted to a stereopticon lecture. We understand Professor Newton described by voice and views the beautiful countries of the Scandinavian Union Conference.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.34

We report in this BULLETIN but one regular business meeting of the General Conference. The Conference met yesterday morning for discussion of resolutions, the hearing of reports, and other business. It then adjourned in order to allow a deputation appointed—about 137 of the delegates—to visit the White House, to pay respects to the President and to present an address. The deputation will, we suppose, report to the Conference to-day, and we can give information concerning the visit in our next number.GCB June 3, 1909, page 306.35
