excitement than any session in years. BY
the constitution and bylaws the president
has the power to appoint the members of
the boards and managing committees,
which action must be confirmed by the con-
vention. The bylaws had been amended
so that the election comes earlier in the
meeting, and an effort was made to amend
the bylaws again, so that the president
must consult the missionary secretaries and
obtain their consent to the appointments
before submitting the appointees for con-
hrmation. This amendment met such
strong opposition that it was referred to a
special committee for consideration at the
hext convention There was strong advo-
cacy but stronger opposition.
