L. T. NICOLA
Nearly all the members of the Association who were present, took part in the discussion of this question, thus showing the interest they took in it. After careful consideration, it was decided to form another canvassing district, composed of General Conference Districts Nos. 4 and 5, under the charge of Z. Sherrig; F. L. Mead to be the general canvassing agent for Districts Nos. 1, 2, and 3; and E. M. Morrison to have the supervision of General Conference District No. 6. GCB July 1, 1896, page 711.8
Brother F. L. Mead briefly outlined the plan that he has been working on in the Eastern States, during the past summer, and which may be described briefly as the “resident-agent” plan. Full particulars with regard to this plan are given in the extra number of the Home Missionary for November. GCB July 1, 1896, page 711.9
