A BUNDLE OF PERSONALITIES

Among the score or so of lady delegates present at the conference, Mrs. E. G. White of Oakland, Cal., figures as one of the most prominent in Adventist work. Her specialty is temperance work, and in the interests of temperance, as well as for the spread of the Adventist religion, she has traveled very extensively throughout the United States and foreign countries. She has been associated with the Adventists ever since the rise of that sect about forty years ago, and in the course of that time has published a number of books on temperance and religious topics. Chief among them is “A Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan,” in four volumes, and a “Life of Paul.” Mrs. White will speak under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. of Minneapolis somewhere in the city next Sunday evening. She has two sons, one of whom, W. C. White, also of Oakland, is a delegate to the conference. He is quite prominent in Adventist circles, being a member of the general conference committee.MMM 575.2

R. A. Underwood, president of the Ohio conference, is also a member of the general committee.

W. Farnsworth and I. D. Van Horn, both of whom are delegates at the present conference.MMM 576.1
