    W. C. White to G. I. Butler, Jul. 11, 1888

    W. C. White
    Burrough Valley, Cal.,
    July 11. 1988.
    Eld. Geo. Butler,
    Battle Creek, Mich.

    Dear Bro.,-I have your letter in which you speak of holding the next General Conference at Minneapolis. I see many reasons why it is a good place. It will probably call out a larger delegation than any other place except Battle Creek. I like the time you have proposed. It is none too early, and it seems to me that this general conference ought to be preceded by a ten or fourteen day’s institute which shall serve the General Conference something as the worker’s meeting does the state camp-meetings. In the institute there should be one class each day on the duties of church officers and the organization and discipline of churches; one meeting each day to council about methods of labor; one or two each day for Bible study, taking of various Bible doctrines; and one hour a day could be profitably devoted to the subject of foreign missions and how to labor for the foreigners in this country. Many other branches might be introduced if we had time. I think there are many who might be chosen to take charge of these various lines of work, so that the burden need not all fall upon a few; and it seems to me that this would be the best possible introduction to the General Conference. I cannot feel but the business of your corporation taken up for much of the time of our conferences in the last few years, and such an institute as this would help to balance up the matter. I am glad to hear such good news from Minnesota.MMM 74.1
