General Conference Bulletin, vol. 7

A VETERAN WORKER

E. K. SLADE

Word reaches us after the close of the Conference, from Mrs. V. L. Fisher, of the death of her father, Elder R. R. Kennedy, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Sabbath evening, June 7. Though quite feeble, Elder Kennedy yielded to the great desire he had to attend the General Conference, and spent about a week at the meeting; but his health would not permit him to attend many meetings. As a minister and faithful laborer, Elder Kennedy has contributed much to the building up of the work in the State of Ohio, serving at one time as president of the conference. The friends and delegates at the conference extend their sympathies to the family of Elder Kennedy in this sad hour. GCB June 9, 1913, page 337.2

Four years ago the circulation of the BULLETIN was between 9,000 and 10,000. This time the printing order has been 15,000 daily, and only a few hundred of these are left over for the orders that always come in following a General Conference. The BULLETIN has been carrying the good news of this good Conference to all parts of the world. “It has been a remarkable Conference.” That word has often passed from lip to lip during the closing days of this meeting. GCB June 9, 1913, page 337.3

We know BULLETIN readers will wish us to express thanks to the staff of compositors, proof-readers, printers, and bindery and mailing room workers, who have labored day and night during the Conference to get out the BULLETIN. They have cheerfully deprived themselves of the privilege of attending meetings in order that these reports might be passed on to the thousands of our brethren and sisters who could not be with us. Our printing house workers are a loyal band of toilers in this blessed message. May God bless them at their tasks. GCB June 9, 1913, page 337.4

Among the good things left over for lack of room in this last number of Volume 7 of the BULLETIN, is a report of Elder S. N. Haskell’s talk on Evidences of Divine Grace, given Sunday morning, June 8, during the Bible study hour. This, with other matter in type, will be passed on to the editors of the Review, and will doubtless appear in due time. GCB June 9, 1913, page 337.5
