ELKINS, PRINEVILLE, OREGON SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Very Successful Meeting Held at Laidlaw Last Sunday Many ia Attendance INTERESTING PROGRAMMES Pint Diitrid CwtmUm far Wif Scbaala h Snllimbri Part rf Cm Cawtr What waa, no doubt, the moet successful Sunday School conven tion ever held in Crook county, came of! with all-day meetings laet Sunday at Laidlaw. It waa the firat of auch conventions in what will hereafter be known aa the Bend-Redmond district, embracing all the Sunday Schools in the aoutbweatern part of the county. Fred II. Sherwood of the pleaa ant Ridge neighborhood, which lies between Redmond and Laid law, wnere he superintends a school, ia and haa been the leading promoter, and the results, besides being very gratifying to him, show Mr. Sherwood to be a competent and successful leader. The result in attendance, waa that the people came in pair?, in groups, and by the score, from all points of the compass. Buggies, carta, carriages, prairie schooners and lumber wagons, were all pressed into service and drawn by one, two or four horses aa occasion might require while many young people of both sexes came on horse back. Sunday School and other serv ices were dismissed at Bend, Red mond, Pleasant Ridge, Gist and Chne Falls while each sent a rep resentation which, were they alone, would have made a very creditable school. The new and cozy church at Laidlaw waa filled to its greatest capacity with chairs and benches. After theee were filled with people, ... l? every bit ot avaiiaoie standing room waa taken and many boys and men only got to look in at the door, during the morning program At noon, the convention adjourned for dinner which was served on the spot; but not until the Rev. G. A, M. Lilly had requested the people to step outside "in order that some tables might be brought in and the ladies might have room to bring forth the good ' things and put them thereon." When this was done, there was presented to view an array of edibles alto gether beyond description by this pencil. Suffice it to say that the suddIv was even greater than the 4 4 appetites of the hungry multitude. whetted to a keen edge by an early drive after an earlier breakfast. and that the Journal representa live was feasted beyond his ex pectation on everything that is good, not only of the conventional chicken, boiled ham, pie and cake but plenty of fine trout caught (on Sunday) from the sparkling waters of the Deschutes. J. B. Shipp of Prineville, and president of the county organi zation, presided during the day and after the opening, made a very thoughtful address on "The Value of a Sunday School Convention.1 Permanent organization was ef fected by the election of Mr. Sher wood aa Dresideut. Mrs. H. C. Ellis A as secretary-treasurer and an ex ecutive committee composed of all the superintendents of the districts Carefully prepared papers were read and special music of a high order was rendered. Features of the program were an address by Prof. J. Alton Thomp' son of Laidlaw, on "Better Methods of Teaching," and a duet by Mrs Ellis and Miss Wiest of Bend Rev. C. LLowther and Rev. G M. Lilly each made valuable con tributions to the success xf the 6c Rfiaion. Aenressive purpose and vigorous determination were ap parent in all that was done and said. The people of western Crook believe in the Sunday School and all that it etanda for, the home, the school church, and though they like money because they need it, they are determined that these tacred interests shall also be carefullv nurtured. Temperance enthusi asm waa frequently cropping out, and found expression in vigorous resolutions, which were adopted in in the report of a committee ap pointed for that purpose, in which the convention declared ita un dying enmity to the saloon and urged the employment of every honorable means to carry the county for prohibition in the forth coming election. The evening session was given over to a lecture by the Rev. Mr. Housel of Prineville. Ilia subject waa "Jack and His Teachers" and lT FRANK GLASS DIES OF APP0PLEXY Well Known Resident of Redmond Passed Away Last Night at Eleven O'clock TELEPHONE COMPANY ELECTS Step Taba TawarJ tk CmtrsctMa f Nw Fraa Hin to Waratptwf Fwrr far Dinct Lm U Partial Frank Glass of Redmond died last nieht at 11 o'clock of appo- was a forceful plea for the due ap- Djex He wa9 livinz hia home preciation, protection and1 training of the boy.
