STATE AGENTS’ CONVENTION

E. R. PALMER

THE last meeting of the State Agents’ Convention was held at 7:45, A.M., February 22. The hour was occupied in quite an informal manner, and was much enjoyed. Elder S. H. Lane, President of the New York Conference, was present, and in response to an invitation by the Chair, made some very fitting remarks in his characteristic, happy manner. He specially emphasized the importance of the State agent’s keeping in close touch with his workers by correspondence, but more particularly by joining with them in their labors in the field. These remarks were followed by a short social service, in which every agent present expressed in very appreciative terms his thankfulness for the privileges enjoyed during the Convention.

The General Agent made touching reference to the separation from several who would soon sail to foreign lands, and might not soon enjoy another privilege like the one just past. In response to his thanks for the agents’ co-operation in the past work, Brother N. Z. Town, of England, moved the adoption of the following resolution:— GCB March 1, 1895, page 421.12

Resolved, That we extend to our General Agent our sincere thanks for his patience with us in the past, his words of counsel and advice, and his untiring labors in planning and conducting the Convention for the good of the agents, and that branch of the cause which we represent. GCB March 1, 1895, page 421.13

The resolution was unanimously carried. The occasion was one which will not soon be forgotten, and pleasant memories will linger about this Convention, however widely our future fields may be separated. GCB March 1, 1895, page 421.14
