The amount needed is comparatively small and the terms of payment very easy, so no diffi culty is expected by the committee in reaching the goal. ■ - -------------------- “ The United States was startled the other day when there was reveuled a great plot to slay leading officials and other citizens by means of bombs sent through the malls.

Along with our own soldiers, men of other nations have fought and died ‘that these principles might be established throughout the whole world. It is fitting, therefore, that in our observance of Memorial Day this year we give thought to its widened scope and that we render tribute to the memory of that vast multitude of men of other nations who in the recent war made the supreme sacri fice as soldiers of the army of right. With these added weighty reasons for the observance of Memorial Day no community should let the day pass without fitting recognition. And I can conceive of no recognition more fitting than our forma! observance. JOHN WALROD. j of 0 Lih»»ry MULTNOMAH* COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION MEETS The quarterly session of the ninth district of the Multnomah County Sunday School association convened in the Kern Park Christian church last Sunday afternoon at 8:15.

Mrs. Slauson, of the First Presby terian church, read a splendid paper on junior work in the Sunday School. She emphasized the lack of reverence in American life and told o< some helpful methods of teaching it in the primary department. Her discussion showed much study of primary meth ods and illustrated the application of psychological principles to Bible school problems. Mrs. G. M. Billingsley, of the First Christian church, presented the sub ject of music in the primary depart ment in an attractive manner. Mrs. Billingsley converted the members of the institute before her into a pri mary department and proceeded to demonstrate how to secure good singing. , Mr. Handsaker discussed the Ar- menian question and Mr. Newmeyer spoke on the absorbing topic, "The Needs of the Boys in the Mt. Scott Neighborhood.” Following is the average attend ance of the Sunday Schools of this district and the number present at the institute: Arleta Baptist—Attendance 245; at institute 8.

This will be held by the Friends Sunday school till some other school makes a better record. After a potluck lunch Earl Feike addressed the institute on "The Re lationship of the Sunday School and the Young People’s Society." The evening sermon was delivered by Rev. E. O. Shepherd, of the Third U. B. church, from the text: “1 am determined to know Nothing among you save Jesus Christ and him cru cified.” This was a masterful ap peal to set our determination on things that are helpful and that en dure rather than on the things of the world that perish with the using. J. A. Dunbar, of the Lents Friends church, rendered a solo and lead the congregational singing. A special musical number was also given by the ladies of the entertaining church.
