Pausing along the road to Dal la this week, our eyes rested- upon a little, old loir-cabin, and it called to mind the ulghtwu rested In that same cabin near a half century ago, enjoying the hospitality of Uncle Davy Grant and his cHtlmable w ifo, who wore the build ers and occupants of the same at- that time. It was a night well-to-be-re. nicmbered, for the old-style Oregon "Jargon" was made much use of, and we learned stirtlcleiit that night to en able us to trade and barter with the Indians, quite uunierous at that ' time.

Prof W. I. Reynold opened the meet ing, and hauled "over the coals" those person who had promised to Ik present and take part In the pro gramme aud had failed. Win. Rey nolds' ot Peoria, III., a gentleman who ha made Huuday school work a study for 26 year, being on the pmgramme, then addressed the audience, He spoke of the Importance of the Sunday school ; that' It was to the ' church what our public school are to our college, and tn in these day many christian par ent entirely neglect the religious edu cation of their children, leaving It to the Huuday school, lie said the object of the teacher should always be to eon vert the pupil and that they should pray. He said that the statistic of buudsy schools gaye the Pacific- state a very small average, and that Bau Frauclsco had the uimlUwt ot any elty In the Union. W. I. Reynold here spoke and said lhat there were two counties in Oregou having each only one Sun day school, slid that one of them had no church. The address lasted over an hour but It was full of meat, ami Interested his hearer. It was Indeed a treat to have a man of a wide exig ence to address u. IATUHDAY MORNINO. 1 TU session commenced with a song nervk led by Rev, J. Fred Jenkins which was followed by a season of prayer, and then another ong. Wm, Reynolds then gave a talk on doing Christ' work. His few words overflowed with Innumerable sugges tions aud the convention will always remember Mr. Reynold with feelings of deepest gratitude for the useful in struction he Imparted to them. Mr. tteynold Is a Sunday school worker In every ense of the word as was evinced by the seal In his talk. He spoke of the very great privilege of do ing the work of Ood, and made every one see cleaily the pleasure they should lake In enlisting In HI cause. Iu bis Sunday school he would never have a teacher who had not been converted aud not felt the love of the Holy Spirit; the teacher should have the love of God and know how to teach It benefl dally to his class. He said every de nomination should work together lu this great cause, aud not antagonize each other we see 1 the case so many times; everybody work In unison, that 1 the way to promote the work, The audience joined in singing hvmn after which came the enroll ment of delegate. " ReKrt from tlie several superlnten dent of Sunday achouls were very good, showing the schools are progn a- Ing and that conversions are being made all the time, thus we see that most all are bearing good fruit. As the Sunday school worker Inter national Superintendent Reynolds had to leave lu the afternoon for Portlaud, and the convention wanted to lay lu a largo supply of Sunday school . knowl edge from Mr. Reynolds' Inexhausti ble stock, he was asked to give another talk on 'Sunday school work at 11 o'clock. Among many other different phases of work, be gave several ways of galplng uew scholars, also he Bald the lesson helps and teachers' quarter- He were not for them to teach their classes with but for them to prepare their lesson at home and teach their classes from the Bible. He gave very many suggestions on doing Sunday school work for the sick and Infirm those who were not' able to come to Sunday scowl;, he spoke of the very great help to be derived by holding teachers' meetings, no Sunday school lould be without such meetings. As Mr, Reynolds would have a little time after dinner, the delegates were iu structed to meet promptly at 1 p. ni aud ho would say a few words. AiTKBSOON SESSION. The exercises commenced with song and prayer service, after which as announced, Wm. Reynolds spoke for a few minutes. Tlie convention gained many of the new and aboroved meth ods from Mr, Reynolds' teaching aud all were loth to have bliu depart, The convention could not thank him too heartily for the great help he has been to all during his sojourn here. ; After the singing of a hymn the re ports of the superintendents were re sumed; as In the forenoou they were most all very encouraging. The schools then made pledges for the past year's ludedebtedncss, there still being a small amount due; the pledges more than covered the deficit.
