This is to certify that I have checked the books of the General Conference Association treasurer for the year ending Dec. 31, 1902, by receipt and check stubs and vouchers, so far as I could find them. The books have been well kept, and the trial balance of Jan. 1, 1903, shows the ledger to be in equilibrium. The cash in drawer and bank deposit agree with the amounts called for by the books.
