Cordial Reception Given To Delegates By Citizens
I ; Of Oregon City
The Oregon State Sunday School
Association met for the 28th An
nual Convention in the First Baptist
; Church in Oregon City, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week.
Oyer 400 delegates from the different
'.'parts of the state were here for al
most the entire session. The leaders,
and speakers, who were all expert3,
in their work, proved to be very help
ful.
Mr. William. Brown, of Chicago, at
' one time missionary to the Philip-
; pines, now International superintend
ent of Missions, became very popular.
' Rev. Miles ' B. Fisher, Secretary of
the Congregational Educational As
sociation of San Francisco, gave sev
eral masterly addresses.
On account of illness, the State
President. Dr. J. D. Springston, was
unable to be present. Mr. Werlein,
Chairman of the State Executive
Committee, presided at the convention
until Friday noon, when the newly el
ected President, Rev. Emerson, of Al
bany, took the chair for the remain'
inir sessions.
The women, who had special parts
in the program were: Mrs. Ormsby,
who has proved her fitness for the
work by one year's service as state
Field Worker, and Mrs. Danenhower,
President of the Portland Grade Un
ion. The services of Mr. Humbert of the
Eugene Bible University, who made
the singing so attractive by his lead
ership, were much appreciated. We
were also indebted to Eugene for the
able addresses of Prof. Billington.
A telegram of congratulations from
Marion Lawrence, the great authority
on Sunday Schools, was received, in
which he said he hoped this would be
the best convention Oregon had ever
had and the poorest they ever would
have. -
The keynote of the convention, em
phasized over and over, was that the
Sunday School is the principal religi
ous training school for children. As
such, it should be well organized with
trained teachers, graded lessons,
graded classes, teacher traiCJ clos
es and the realization of the impor
tance as an educational institution
for the religious training of child
ren. The convention opened Thursday
afternoon, the morning having been
given over to assigning places of en
tertainment to the guests. After an
opening song service and prayer, re
ports showing progress of the year's
work, were given. The Teachers
Training Department showed a great
increase as 77 new classes . had been
organized."
The afternoon session closed with
two inspiring addresses by Mr. Fish
er and Mr. Brown.
After the preliminary services in
the evening, the delegates were assur
ed of a most cordial welcome by the
Mayor, Mr. Jones, ar.d the Rev. Mr.
Landsb'orough of the Pres. Church.
Mr. Slaver, of Portland responded and
the evening session closed with the
second of Mr. Brown's addresses on
"The Sunday School and the Great
Commission."
Friday morning, from 8:30 to 9:40
was given over to sectional conferenc
es ef pastors, superintendents and
teachers. The pastors, meeting in the
First Baptist Church was very in
teresting. Some noteworthy points
brought out were as follows:
A pastor is an executive officer
standing at the head of the greatest
educational institution in the world
(the Sunday School) and should not
make the mistake of trying to do all
the details himself. The old hit and
miss way of doing things is without
virtue and if Sunday Sciioots ara to
accomplish anything they must he
well organized, have graded lessons,
and trained teachers. No ono should
be allowed to teach a Sunday School
class who is not a Christian, A good
motto is: "Every member present."
It was the opinion of the entire
body that the Sunday School was the
churches' hope of the future and there
fore must have the cooperation of
each member of the church, to plan
and work out the salvation of the
coming generations. The question of
whether it is advisable to have mov
ing pictures to illustrate sacred songs
in the church was discussed pro and
con. ,
At the Teachers' Sectional Confer
ence, Prof. Billington spoke of the
necessity of pupil s preparing the les
son before coming to Sunday School.
This necessitates the assignment of
the lesson a Week before. Their self
activity should be aroused and noth
ing be told them which they can find
out for themselves.
Mrs. Hopfield said that teachers
could help the pastor by learning to
knbw the boys and girls, but in order
to do this, they must be teachers
seven days a week instead of just one
day.
In reporting the Girls Club's, Mrs.
S. W. Ormsby, the State Field Work
er said they were teaching girls not
to be butterflies but to help others.
Their motto was: "Every girl get a
girl." The work trains the girls in ex
ecutive ability, gives them a public
spirit and power to see where help is
needed with the desire to give such
help.
At Mrs. Orsby's request different
delegates representing classes from
different parts of the state gave brief
reports of their work, all of which
was very interesting and helpful,
Mrs. Ferguson stated that she had
the largest rural class in the state
T
in Attendance From All
State
She started with only a few and now
has a membership of sixty-five. The
motto is "Give to the world the best
you have and the best will return to
you." Their equipment is the Bible
and the hand shake. .
The Boys Clubs were not reported
owing to the absence of Mr. Ivan B.
Rhodes, who was to lead the discus
sion.
Next came an open discussion of
"What I think of the Graded Les
sons," led by W. H. Phillips of Port
land. Mr. Phillips said he thought the
graded lessons were the best legacy
the Sunday Schools had inherited for
a long time because they stand for
progress along all lines. They make
better teachers, as the. promotion of
one class necessitates the repetition
of the same lessons to a new class.
The public schools do not have the
same lessons through out and why
should the Sunday School? The grad
ed lessons avoids the waste of time
usually given to the Superintendent
for review; children get a better
knowledge of the Bible in using these
lessons because they are assigned the
parts of the Word that are interesting
to them. " '
In the discussion the majority de
cided that graded lessons were a nec
essity to progress, but must ,have a
dependable teachers. Of course there
were a few who opposed their use
but these, it seemed, lacked know
ledge of their value.
In speaking on Sunday School Ef
ficiency Mr. Billington said that a
Sunday School is efficient when it
does the work of a Sunday School,
which is to lead people into fellow
ship with Christ, to . train them to
live in the spirit of the Lord and to
do efficient service for Him..
When Christ gave the command to
go out and make disciples he also
said, "Teach all things". In order to
be efficient, the teacher must know
why a Sunday school is organized
and not think it is merely a place
where there is a crowd, a noise and
a collection. An efficient superin
tendent will see to it that he has a
trained secretary and dependable
teachers, also graded lessons because
God has graded boys and girls as well
as the Bible.
In the elementary department, the
children should make a profession
of Christ; in intermediate they
should be given some actual service
and in the adult department the men
and women should come in. touch
with every problem in church.
The address, "When I Was a
Child", by Rev. R. N. Avison, of Sa
lem, was very helpful. He said a
boy's life is divided into two periods,
childhood and adolescence. In child
hood he is dependent upon others
and what he does is without motive,
In adolescence he is independent and
adult leadership must not be too
prominent or he will resent ?t.- At
this time he begins to look within
himself and thinks of his relationship
to God, his country and his fellow
men. He studies the perils and pos
sibilities of life until it all becomes
oppressive to him. ... This and other
things such as physical ailments may
cause him to seem incorrigible, but
Rev. Avison is of the opinion that the
incorrigible boys and girls are minus
quantities. He emphasized the fact
that the adolescent or teen age is
the moment for-the chuch to reach
him. A child is by nature Christian
and it does not require much effort
to get him into the church, but the
object is to keep him there. The
key to the world's evangelization is I

One of the first things noted by
the enterprising, wide-awake visitors
one looking for a location for a home
or aggressive resident is the natural
and civic conditions of the city. The
natural scenery, including the pictur
esque bluff, the beautiful Willamette,
the distant hills with varied colors of
rock and forest, the fertile valleys and
rivulets, or dear old Mt. Hood rising
majestically above the surrounding
hills until her summit pierces the
azure of the heavens reflecting the
diamond sparkle of her snow covered
form upon the rays of the sun, appeal
to every one with a spark of love for
the Sunday school. Rev. Avison
leaves the thought that parents and
teachers are the connecting links be
tween children and God and that a
mistake or neglect may prove eter
nal in its character.
After the song service and devo
tional on Friday afternoon, Mr. Wer
lein gave the report of the State
Executive committee. He spoke of
the necessity for funds in this educa
tional institution and the fact that on
account of the . World's Christian
conference to be held in Portland in
July, that city had ta raise $30,000
for publicity and entertainment of
the same, therefore would have to
depend more on the outlying districts
to help bear the financial burdens.
He closed his remarks by recom
mending all to look to the Great
Teacher when in need of help.
The report of the state treasurer,
given by Mr. Phipps, showed that up
to April 19, $3,391 had been paid in,
$3,364 paid out, leaving a balance of
$27.
Mr. Phipps then gave the report of
his work as general secretary. Spec
ial emphasis was placed on the work
of the Home Department, the Social
Hygiene movement, the temperance
work, the Girls' Conference, and the
Year Book which was edited by Mr.
Kelley. Since the appointment of
Mrs. Ormsby as office secretary and
assistant held worker the office is al
ways open to those who want help.
By the efforts of Mrs. Danenhower,
the office ahs been hanspmely fur
nished and he has been helped in
manv wavs by the Portland Grade
Union. He closed his report by rec
ommending a department of evange
lism and a Decision Day once a year
for every school.
The convention adopted both these
reports after Mr. Morris and others
had spoken of some of the difficul
ties and hardships which Mr. Phipps
had undergone to accomplish such
good results.
Under the order of roll call and
pledges each county responded by
giving a verse of scripture and a
statement that they would . accept
their apportionment for the new
year.
Mr. Fisher spoke on "Points of
Emphasis in Modern Sunday School
Work", and said that there were
three which he would discuss. They
were graded lessons, men's work, and
missions. He compared the uniform
and graded lessons, showing that in
the uniform, the object was to teach
the Bible, while in the graded les- i
son, the- object was to teach the
child. As the children are naturally
religious during the 'teen age, it is
vitally important the part of the
Bible that is best for their respec
tive ages should be found. The grad
ed lesson has done this. 'The neces
sity for graded classes follows as
well as teacher training classess, be
cause the graded lessons are finer
tools. Special characteristics of the
adolescent age are loyalty, moral
sense, idealism and altruism.
. The mtn's work in the Sunday
school now enrolls over three million
and is growing rapidly so the Sunday
school can no longer be called " the
nursery of the church, but is really
an educational institution. Une bene
fit is that it keeps the men in the
church and the other that it is good
for the men themselves. They get
together in that way and consider
problems that come up in their own
lives every day. In missions the
emphasis should be on the fact that
as we are debtor to all, we should
help those who are not so fortunate
as ourselves. -
In Mr. Brown's address on "The
Greatest Missionary Age" he said
we are today living in the greatest
missionary age the world has ever
known. The world is now known
from pole to pole and a message can
be sent half around the . world in
thirty-five minutes and we have had
the gospel eighteen hundred years
and yet have not given it to half the
world. He spoke of the . difficulties
the foreign missionaries had to en
counter but when he later related the
great results obtained by preaching
the gospel to the heathens all pres
ent realized that it -was surely God's
hand directing the missionary move
ment and that this is truly the
greatest missionary age. Mr. Brown
says the following-should be emphas
ized in. every Sunday school. Boys
and girls should know the stories of
missionaries. The spirit of prayer
should be promoted as a prayerless

Turning from these splendid gifts
of nature to. the accomplishments of
our citizens however, in matters of
civic improvement and beautification
how startling the contrast. While it
is true that much improvement has
been recently undertaken or projected
and while a few citizens have been
beautifying about their homes by re

in parkings and lawns, etc., and while

Petitions Follow the Probe Meeting
of Tuesday
Tuesday, after the meeting called
for the citizens to present their com
plaints against county management,
recall . petitions were circulated
against County Judge R. B. Beatie
and County Commissioner N. Blair,
and the following reasons are given,
as printed on the petitions: ,
' That the conduct of the commis
missioners has been careless and
extravagant in the management of
the county business.
(1) That the sum of $350.00 was
paid for an examination and report
on the condition of the Oregon City
Suspension Bridge without inviting
.competition.
(2) That the bridge across Clear
Creek at Stone was destroyed and re
placed by a new steel bridge, which
was wholly uncalled for, as the old
bridge was in good condition when
destroyed. All it needed was new
piers and a few minor repairs at
slight expense.
(3) That -many steel bridges
were built without due publicity and
without asking for competitive bids.
(4) That a contract was entered
into with a Portland timber cruising
company to cruise the timber of
Clackamas county at the rate of
$51.20 per section, without giving any
notice to the public that such can
tract was to be let.
(5) . That said Robert -Beatie and
N. Blair, as members of the county
court, have not complied with Sec
tion G278 Lords Oregon Laws. "
Convention Notes
,' Mr. Howland, of the reception com
mittee, extended the glad hand to
everybody. ,
The Boy Scouts and Knights " of
Arthur made fine messengers.
Mr. Wickham was the busiest man
about the place.
The baggage room resembled the
baggage room at the Portland sta
tion. . - - '
Where did all the pretty girls
come from? ..
The Willamette river may have
germs, but the delegates did not
mind.
Mr. Humbert certainly could sing,
and he made everybody else sing
even the wall flowers. .
Mr. Brown's smile radiated every
corner of the convention hall.
The exhibit of the .work of the
children in the Sunday schools was
very interesting. Nowadays the
children are taught by object lessons
such as pictures and hand work as
well as from the quarterlies.
The Oregon state convention would
not be complete without the genial
countenance of Mr. Phipps, the state
secretary.
The ladies of the different churches
entertained royally for the delegates.
Chairman Tooze of the local com
mittee was beaming, for every thing
went off without a hitch.
Some of the delegates thought the
hills were pretty steep, but when
they come again they can ride on the
elevator.
The delegates appreciated the cour
tesy of those who proffered the use
of their autos to take them around
the city.
Mrs. Olmstead was an ideal accom
panist. The Methodists had the largest
number of delegates registered, and
the Christian church second.
Mrs. Ormsby is the best ever.

Hawley that Oregon will have a new

GIRLS' CONFERENCE
First Session in This City was a De
cided Success
Fads, sheath gowns, and girls who
"dress to be looked at" were much
condemned in the course of the first
Oregon State Girls' conference which
opened in the Presbyterian church on
the afternoon of February 26. Miss
Marguerite Moore led the devotional
singing which opened the session.
The blue and white badges worn by
the members allegorically represent
ed the purpose of the meeting, the
blue standing for loyalty and the
white for purity. Devotional services
were led by Mrs. E. B. Andrews after
which Miss Agnes Fries rendered a
beautiful solo.
With Mrs. A. L. Danaenhower pre
siding, the delegates were welcomed
by Miss Ruth Brightbill, and a pleas
ing response was made by Miss Edith
Daugherty, of Portland. The design
and need of this conference was next
outlined by Mrs. F. W.' Ormsby,
state superintendent of secondary
grade Sunday conferences. The press
ing need of work for an open discus
sion of "What I Think of the Confer
ence" which was led by Mrs. Fergu
son, who was followed by many of
tiie delegates, who expressed their
views as to the need of, organized
work for girls.
An address by Miss Wilma Chan
dlers upon "Dress: It's Effect Upon
Morals", proved very interesting.
Miss Chandlers, who is assistant to
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the munici
pal department of public safety for
young women in Portland, divided
girls into two classes: "Girls men
look at" and "girls men admire." Sim
plicity was given as the keynote to
"good taste", which all strive for.
Delegates were urged to use the de
portment and dress of the "first lady
of our land" and her daughters as a
model, for their ideas of modesty and
simplicity are well worth duplicating.
" Sweet music was furnished by a
chorus of Gamma Beta Chi girls
from the Sunnyside Congregational
church, which was followed oy two
talks on - "Girls' Responsibilities".
The first one "Am I My Sister's Keep
er", was by Miss H. Alena Wolfe.
Her plea was for higher ideals, and
facts and the fondling of poodle dogs
were generously condemned. Miss
Stella Wilson, of the Portland Grad
ed Union, 'then spoke on the subject,
"Am I My Brother's Keeper", and
idealized the girl who stands as a
guide to higher ideals and a purer
life for her boy friends.
A duet by Misses Mary Brobst and
Grace Rose followed. Two talks on
"Girls' Opportunities" followed, the
first by Jean Wilverton, representing
the "home girls". She begged for
friendly help for the quiet girls and
those who are "left out". Miss Maude
Ray, of the Business Women's Club
of i Portland, represented the "Busi
ness Girls" and gave many interest
ing . examples of the hcip business
girls have given in aiding those about
them.
A charming solo by Miss Marguer
ite Moore was followed by a short
talk by Miss Lina James, general
secretary of the Y. W. C. A. The ap
propriateness of holding the first
conference for girls' work in Ore
gon City, where the thought of this
activity had first originated, was
touched upon. The afternoon session
then closed, after a chorus of girls
from the Third Presbyterian church
of Portland had rendered some excel
lent music.
A banquet was served for the dele
gates by the organized girls' classes
of Oregon City at 6 o'clock, during
which many toasts were given, Mrs.
Danenhauer acting as toast master.
Following the banquet the evening
session convened and the committees
on organization and election of offi
cers reported. The first committee
composed of Mrs. Ormsby, Miss Jean
Wolverton, Miss Clarke and Miss
Pierce, reported that the design of
the movement should be "to awaken
girls ' to real responsibilities to
Christ, to promote loyality to purpose
and purity of heart, and to broaden
the scope of their influence." It was
voted that the motto and aim of the
organization be "Every Girl Yet a
Girl."
The committee on election nominat
ed the following officers, who were
chosen at the evening session: Pres

City; vice-president, Miss Jennie

much has been done by the Woman's

LARGE CROWDS ATTEND BOOSTER DAYS
Despite Showery Weather Two Days Celebration
Great Success
BIG LIVE STOCK SHOW
Thousands of People See Parades Pass Through
Streets of City
Early Friday morning people be
gan flocking into the city, by cars,
automobiles and great numbers by
teams to witness the parades and
view the live stock.
The first parade startetd at 10:30
A. M. Friday morning, and was led
by Co. L., O. N. G., followed by offi
cers of the day and city officials. Af
ter these came the live stock and
horse section. The last section of
the parade was composed largely of
fraternal orders and societies. The
Maccabees were given first prize in
this line, while the Bobbie Burns so
ciety, Moose and others caused much
favorable comment.
In the miscellaneous section Ear
nest Cross and his comical rig caus
ed screams of laughter..
Between 400 and 500 children
marched from their various schools
in the parade on Friday afternoon.
They were loudly applauded during
the march ana counter march ana
certainly presented a neat appear
ance. .
Many from the Barclay school wore
deep blue pennants and their march
ing brought forth comment. The
marching of the children from the
Eastham school was a special feature
and much credit is due Professor
Bolland, who, we are sure spent
much time drilling them. They
marched and counter marcred like a
regiment of soldiers.
The crowd of spectators in.the city
on Saturday was much larger than
on the day before, even though the
weather was threatening and show
ery. The most interesting feature of
the day was the automobile parade in
the afternoon led by the Redland
band. The automobiles were finely
decorated, the first prize, a $15 robe
donated by Mitchcl, Lewis & Staver,
being awarded to Mr. Parker.
After the parades camS the "team
pull" and try-out on Main street, en
tirely successful, in spite of the rain
comng just at this time. The boos
ter day celebration closed Saturday
night by a big dance at Busch's hall
which was largely attended.

Lad in 'teens faces Jury on Trial for
life on May 2.
Glen Gault, a boy still in his teens
will be tried for the murder of his
stepfather in their cabin.
This case will be very interesting
and the court room will probably be
crowded during the sessions of the
trial.
Gault, who is just seventeen, and
his stepfather had never gotten along
well, and one day while the two were
moving the kitchen stove, an argu
ment arose as to Where the stove
should stand. The stepfather, accord
ing to the boy, attacked him with a
knife, and he, in self defence, grasp
ed an axe and struck his stepfather
on the head, afterward burying his
body in the woods. ,

Man for the Place
Oregon City, Oregon,
April 29, 1913.
Editor Womens' Courier:
Although the women of this state
have not enjoyed the privilege of
suffrage very long and have been ac
cused of being disinterested in af
fairs of the state and nation, I think
it is time that we begin to consider
important questions and candidates
for offices that we will have to help
decide upon at the next election.
The governorship of Oregon should
interest the women of Clackamas
county especially as we are encour
aging a very worthy candidate to en
ter the field from this county, namely
Grant B. Dimick. Mr. Dimick is not
only one of Oregon City's most capa
ble attorneys, but has always allied
himself with all public spirited inter
ests. While he was county judge of
this county, his term of office was
very credibly' maintained. Of course
it would be impossibel to pleaBe ev
ery one in this office but it will be
recalled that Mr. Dimick gave bet
ter satisfaction than many previous
judges and much better than those
cominir after. The interest that he
is taking in agriculture and the as
sistance that tie is offering will in
sure a great support amoncr the ag
ricultural people of the state. The
assistance that was given by our can
didate when the writer was taking
an active part ni club work for the
benefit of the community has always
been appreciated and now that the
opportunity to return the favor is
coming, there will be no stones left
unturned.
