Nobody knows the exact date the con vention will convene, that is a matter left to the discretion of the executive committee. And so the convention passed. With the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" last night, the great audience gathered in the White Temple dispersed. Many say there will never be another convention like the Port land one, but however that may be, there were many who paid their last visits to their friends, many who will die in the missionary field and many who look for ward to conventions years hence when greetings will again be exchanged. "The convention is over," is the cry. "Now let's get ready for the next one." ailHlllhHMlllliiHlliUlll COMES TO CLOSE mi Northern Baptists Ready to Leave Portland After Their Momentous Gathering.

FUTI-RE9 OF NORTHERS BAP TIST (OXVEMIOS OF 1809. The Northern Baptist Convention convened under the presidency of Harry Pratt Judson Friday. June 26 at S p. M. and adjourned last night at 10:so oclock. With the ex ception of Sunday and yesterday afternoon. the convention has held three sessions dally. The Important business transacted has been the unification of the bud ret; adoption of a pledge to rail a budget of U.OOO.OOO; the admit tance of the woman's society a a society co-ordinating with the con vention, and the general union of the .Baptist churches Into one aolid or ganization. Most of the convention business was transacted by committee and was pres-ntod to the convention In cut and dried form.

Down in the wer temple the booths were be"nK dls! rnT dUSt hUn heav"y "'a air and there waa an unmistakable air of desolation. No longer were the delegates thronging the writing tables, the sounder inen Sfrapf? offlce was strangely o fet to f CVen the Ptoflce seemed quiet to an unwonted degree. Everything was being pulled down. we hllns foIded "P Periodicals unsold were being packed up In readi- n!L I "POrtatlon East and the en rollment desk, usually crowded with dele !" ",ni1 attendants, was absolutely neglected. No one registered yesterday. ThnrlSS1 r"tetratlon being made on Thursday. If anyone wanted to register, he uld. but the feeling apparent was that the convention was so nearly over that registration would be ridiculous. Attendance Slight in Morning. . Very sparse was the attendance at the convention yesterday morning. Instead ot that the rooms at the hotels were oc cupied with many packing up their be longings for the homeward Journey. A still greater number took occasion to make the up-river excursions, because of the failure of the committee to arrange the picnic for Saturday. Yesterday more than any other day. the remaining dele gates wie re on the hills; Borne went auto mobillng; others spent the day In the parks; the museum at the City Hall was Inspected and the beauties of Portland were by no means neglected. "Portland day" will be celebrated at almost every Baptist Church of any prom inence tn the East a week from tomor row. The Baptists have been well en tertained In Portland, the city has been thrown open to them, they have had an enjoyable convention, and it would be the height of ingratitude on their part if the congregations who will hang on the words of the tale they bring from the Northwest are not informed as to what Portland has to offer and has offered. Then there are the leaders of the great Baptist societies, men who travel from one end of the land to the other; at every stop they aay they will be able only to talk of Portland and of the wonderful things here. For they are not all leaving today. Some few will stay to acquaint themselves with the possibilities Port land has to offer. Back to Chicago goes President Judson of the University of Chicago. To him COme miintlPRH I'mincr man , i Will that advice be "go West, young man?" After talking a few minutes with Dr. Jud son and learning that he believed Port land is to become the metropolis of the whole country in 20 years, it is impos sible to doubt the answer to the question. Perhaps to the resident of Portland! who has seen the Baptist badges all over the city, the most Interesting feature of the morning session was the report of the enrollment committee. C. A. "VVooddy, chairman, said 1742 delegates had regis tered, of which Washington and Oregon furnished 400. California made a third largely representated state with 162 dele gates, Delaware and Mexico were at the bottom of the list with a solitary unit apiece. The report of the committee on time and place waa unanimous. Despite this, very courteous thanks were extended to several other Far Eastern points for an invitation. Washington delegates received a shock when Rev. M. A. Levy, of Massachusetts, moved that a vote of thanks be ac corded the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifle Exposi tion management for its action In closing the Fair Sunday, and prohibiting the pale of liquor on that date. A emile went through the Washington delegation and Vice-President Shank looked rather startled. There seemed to be a feeling of wonder whether after all the Fair peo ple had taken this action. Committees Organize for Work. For Mr. Levy, Dr. Judson saved the situation by saying the motion would be eminently proper if warranted by the facts. Mr. Levy investigated and did not reintroduce his motion. A resolution was adopted deploring the Congo situation, which the secretary was instructed to forward to Secretary Knox, despito the protest of a delegate that the convention should first take cogni sance of conditions in America, where negroes are burnt at the stake, lynched and maltreated, he said. Xo actual session was held in the after noon. In place of that all of the many committees appointed by the president and the convention met In various parts of the .White Temple and organized for the ensuing year. Officers were elected and meeting pi acqs settled. For many of the committeea to hold a full meeting will be Impossible. Many committees are com posed of a delegate from each state, and they may never meet in full. As a matter ot fact committee business is usually CONVENTION' COMES TO END Ir. Judson Makes Farewell Address to Baptist Delegates. "I adjourn this Northern Baptist Con vention of 1909 without day."- These were the last words of President Judson as he dismissed the big denominational gather ing at Its final session last night at the White Temple. But the convention was not anxious to be dismissed. The delegates hung about the platform and finally a long lino pussed desiring to shake hands with Dr. Judson and Rev. W. C. Bitting, the con vention secretary. For each the officers had a pleasant word and kindly greet ing. On the conclusion of the business that had come before the session. President Judson said he desired to say a few closing words. "Wt have achieved a revolution in Baptist' policy," he said. "Not a reactionary revolution, but a revolution in methods for the splendid things we have done. It has not been a rrvuit'iion ot aesiruction, due a revolu tion of construction. "We have been engaged in something that is a part of the age; we have been trying to adopt our democracy to the time in oroer to maKe ior natural et "When I look at the ballot upon which. our political elections are Dased nearly as large a Sunday newspaper I am in clined to say, 'Oh, democracy, what fnlHeS ATA CommlttH In Yl 1 - nama ' After narrating what he believed to be i no more satisiaciory system in loree m England, the speaker added: "We must learn to adapt our democracy to modern conditions and make it democracy or ganized and effective, and that is the iMorthern Baptist Convention."

That's their opinion ask them. -And on the heels of their going is to be ushered in that good old time so much talked of, the 5th of July Clam Bake and celebra tion, with the annual reunion of the Behnke-Walker Business College and a horde of other Portland people in glad attendance. CONVENTION DELEGATES AT COLUMBIA BEACH During the coming ten days hundreds of people are going to visit COLUMBIA BEACH. Large numbers of the Northern Bap tist Convention delegates will be on hand. They're going to look for pleasure as well as profit at the Oregon Baptist Summer Assembly, commencing its meetings at the beach on July 6. COLUMBIA BEACH events'follow each other rapidly these days. The Students' Conference boys leave, and a crowd of Behnke-Walker students and other Portland people arrive, only to make way for the Baptist people, all of them becoming fast friends with and admirers of COLUMBIA BEACH and the spirit of push and progress shown there.

ORIENTAL TRADE TO HELP President of Chicago University Has Good Word for Portland and Is Pleased With Results of Convention. "As viewed from the viewpoint resident of the central states, Portland is the city and the Pacific Northwest the country of the 20th century." That was what Harrv Pratt t,,, president of the University of Chicago) president of the Northern Bantist vention, noted educationalist and writer on current topics had to say as expressing his views on what he has observed rii.r!r.,r a prolonged study of local conditions. No haphazard judgment his; Instead the belief of a thinker formed after long consideration. President Judson is not In the habit Of fnrminff- nnan nnlnln.. disseminating them. Although tills is the em.-unu nine ne nas visited .Portland, the day of his arrival for the convention, he was enthusiastic about Portland's beauty, but said he had not had the opportunity to study local conditions. Since then he has made good use of his spare time. He speaks in the manner of a thinker con versant with the Oriental situation with regard 10 tne .Northwest. He does not pretend Portland, or Portland and Seattle, or any combination of cities in the Pacific West will control the trade of the Orient. The trade is for the world, he says, and li stands to reason the Northwest will have its share. "But what about the hnirio hA . asked, "of the Orient panning out?

It was somewhat notable that he spoke of coming from the central states. Dwel lers in the Northwest have been so ac customed to hearing dwellers In and around Illinois allude to their homes in the West and the Northwest as the "Far West.", that It was somewhat refreshing to speak to one who saw things in their right perspective. Of the Baptist convention. Dr. Judson had nothing but the warmest praise. "The most important thing done," he said, "was that organization has been accomplished of the Baptist churchee. After that we may include the adoption of the report of the committee on legal relations, that of the finance committee and that of the budget of $1,000,000; each in the order mentioned." Dr. Judson said that personally he was very well satisfied with the work the con vention had performed, with the results of the work and with its efTects and he believed that this was the greatest Baptist convention ever held.

They were welcomed at the manse by a number of friends. They left Portland February last, expecting to be away four months, but prolonged their journey one month. Rev. and Mrs. Allen were delighted to get back to Portland and the welcome they received from friends and members of the church made their return doubly pleasant. At the parsonage an agreeable surprise was in store for them.

Allen made a close study of Egypt and Palestine from a Biblical viewpoint; made copious notes of his Investigations and secured many -photographs.
