THE EDITOR'S CORNER:
The winner will be announced tomorrow. 1904 was the year when no bishops were elected and someone claimed that prize, but Presiding Elder Sidney Williams has issued a challenge and says the last time that a General Conference was held and no Bishop elected was in 1946. An extra session fo the General Conference was held in 1946 in Little Rock Arkansas. Bishops D. H. Sims and G. E Curry were expelled; and M. H. Davis was suspended until February 1947; and, no bishops were elected. Bishop Daves was reinstated in 1947.I should have stated the question: "...the last Quadrennial General Conference...?"
Editor's Question: Should the Reverend Sidney W. Williams share the prize? Or should the person who answered the question with 1904 receive the prize?
