Sme of the special features of the convention were the song by a Canby quartette Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Balr, Prof. Mitts and Prof. Calaban; a solo entitled "A Little Bit of Love," by Rev. Phlpps, and the reciting the names of the books of the Bible by little six-year-old Earl Mack, of Canby, who named every book from Genesis to Revelations without the slightest pause. Those attending from Oregon City were Mrs. C. A. Nash, Mrs. Geo. C. Brownell, Mrs. D. C. Latourette, Mrs. Osborne. Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Van Way, Miss Minnie Case, Miss Jean White, Mrs. W. A. White. Rev.

This year, we are not quite bo loving, for the 8 r meek and humble Shannon has e departed, with a goodly sack of $ shekels, leaving behind quite f' a large tore place among the i brethren, which the modern method of making Christians, f is sure to produce. In fact al- vj always does produce. $ And now, brethren, if there it anything in Sectarianism, $ why not let each sect work It S out In its own way.
