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

pencil. Suffice it to say that the

drive after an earlier breakfast.

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

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
