The Lost Commandment: The Dictionary and AA
The opening address of Mr. Bernard B. Smith, non-alcholic Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Alcoholic Foundation, at the Fourth Annual General Service Conference of AA, held April 21-25, 1954, is here reproduced in full.
AS the time of this fourth and last of the experimental General Service Conferences approached, I found myself thinking of many things--of those exciting early struggling days when AA was taking form; of the many friendships that AA has made possible for me; of the countless heart-warming experiences that have been mine within the fellowship of AA; of the wonder that in so short a time AA could have produced a General Service Conference with every section of the United States and Canada represented by its chosen delegate.
