Sabbath School Conventions

Question. [Note.—Following remarks of Mrs. E. G. White to The General Conference Committee, at Lake Goguac, near Battle Creek, Michigan, July 14, 1890, questions were asked by various ministers, and answered by her. The questions pertaining to the Sabbath school work are here quoted.]—Would you think, Sister White, that taking up the detail work of drilling the Sabbath school workers would come under the same head? [That is, drilling canvassers, and missionary workers, and holding cooking schools at our camp meetings.]CSW 185.3

Answer.—Exactly; it is not the place for it. That is to be done; but it has its time and place.CSW 186.1

Ques.—Suppose they should call a Sabbath school convention, and meet for that purpose?CSW 186.2

Ans.—That is all right; and have those engaged to carry the burden of that work, and not hold the people there [at the camp meeting] to hear those particular things. They have no special work in that branch to do. The time is too precious to be spent in that way.—Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work, 114.CSW 186.3
