But however desirous It might have been to spare the feelings of the committeemen. President Judson felt that language such as was used in reference to the Federal Government in one of the resolutions, could not be per mitted to go forth as the expression of feling of the assembly. That it would be courting the charge of hot-headedness to pass a resolution bristling with inac curacies was the president's opinion The resolution that caused the turmoil was one meant to censure the Govern -: I"'"1 fnr Permitting the export of liquor ; rrom wet states into dry states, and bv ; so doing overriding the privilege of each t ate to govern itself, as the committee , favored.

When the last dele gate registered vestei-rtnu- eA.-. rnre than 1700 delegates had received ineir cards. This is apart from visitors, who are estimated aside from Oregon (Visitors, at about 1500 people. Some faint idea has been gathered by the White Temple postoffice of the enorm ous crowds. Not even half, probably, of the delegates have been obtaining their mail at the Temple, yet the mail handled daily has amounted to many thousands of pieces. Send Away Souvenirs. Enormous numbers of picture post cards have been sold right In the con vention basement and many more have been sold by retail stores of the city to delegates. At one time yesterday the big mailing box close to the White Temple was filled up to the top so full that the sliding door would not close or open. From the point of view of the Port lander anxious to show his city and of the delegate anxious ot view it, the convention has rather monopolized the time. A conscientious delegate had his first meeting at 8 A. M. and meetings were then continuous, with brief spells for meals, until 11 p. M. Many dele gates admit they have not seen Council (.'rest and several yesterday said they had never been nearer the river than Fifth street. Busy Every ay. It would he difficult for it to be otherwise. The convention has been packed at every session. At the com mencement of the afternoon session, the delegates are slow to assemble, but be fore a half hour Is passed the hall is as full as ever. The convention has been one of re unions. College banquets have taken place every night, three such occurring last night. Missionaries meeting those from whom they have been separated for 20 years, younger men greeting those older this has been the heart touching effect of the convention. As a Baptist convention the gather ing has been great. The Baptists them selves say so. Portland does not re gret the occasion for from a purelv sor did point of view the hostess-city will he advertised In a few Sundays from every Baptist pulpit In the land. And they have all had a good time, and they all want to come back. IXIOX IS NOW OCT OF DEBT President Woodward Files Annual Report of Missionary Work.

A history of the work of the Baptist missionaries in India, in Africa and in other parts of the field where the Bap tist banner has been planted made a story that held the attention of the large audience In the White Temple at the session of the Northern Baptist convention yesterday afternoon. While the horrors of life and work on the Congo were told in a manner that made the listeners' blood almost congeal in their veins, the narrative of the work of the medical missionaries in India despite the great distances and inade quate means of communication, painted a. brighter picture. Dr. Barbour opened the convention by announcing Mr. Finney, of Rangoon, who said that missionaries in India "hob-nob with the government and are recognized by the government for their diplomacy and management of affairs." Sumner Vinton brought a message to the convention from the older Baptist convention of Burma. He announced that should the Northern Baptist con vention care to affiliate with the older organization, he would be pleased to bear the message to the Burma breth ren. Work Among Orientals. Mr. Vinton gave instances of good work among Orientals. He said the veneer of Christianity was very often more than a thin crust beneath which it was possible to dig. Should the dig ging process be started, the speaker thought, a warm Christian body would be found. That the natives of Burma still be lieved in demoniacal possession was the statement made by William Young, of Kentung, India. Mr. Young tndeavored to trace some connection between the natives of Burma and earlv biblical races. He said the Burmans had a hymn of creation," they had a legend of a great, flood, anil of nine people being survivors, and another of one supreme God. They showed some sign of early mosaic law by looking to a redeemer who was yet to come. Mr Young said that It would take him as long to go from Rangoon to his station in Burma as it would to so from the United States to Rangoon. Most of the missionaries were deeply bronzed and several were slight of frame. Of quite a different type was Rey- Herbert S. Johnson, of Boston. Tn his desire to lay emphasis on his mes sage. Rev. Mr. Johnson walked over the platform, stamped and shook the reading desk with the thunderous man ner in which he struck it. So loud was his voice that it resounded through the convention hall and echoed back. Con demnation of King Leopold formed the basts of his address, which was on "The Congo Situation." Through the action of the United States Oovernment. said Rev. Mr. Johnson. Leopold was given control of the Congo States, on his rep resentation that his government would be for the sake of "moral and material regeneration." Tells of Leopold's Crimes. "Have you seen Leopold's great granite and crystal church in Brus sels?" asked the speaker. "Have you been to Paris and have you seen the 'Queen of the Congo,' queen of Leopold's harlots, notable not alone for her beau ty, but also for the magnificene of her diamonds? "At King Leopold's own commission the missionaries told how his soldiers, when the people had failed to bring sufficient rubber, had placed the women against a tree and with machets cut them in four parts, roasted the parts and eaten them. This, that . Leopold may have diamonds for his harlots. "Leopold's philanthrophy Leopold's a polite nothing at all. Why does not religion do something "to stop this. If I had a religion that would not work I would throw it away. Can't you see that those in the gutter will say your religion is only a farce, only a dream? "A nation Is fading and rotting away no hope from Belgium. That is the Congo situation. "Write to Secretary Knox and urge that these damnable outrages be. stopped. If only this. Nation wishes it to be done, it can be done. Will you do it? In the last great judgment day may you be judged for the little you have done towards this end." Women Hold Session. It was with almost a whiff of Kipling that the American Baptist Women's For eign Missionary Society of the West took possession of the platform. Dr. Ida Faye Levering, an Indian medical missionary, spoke of zenana work. In India, she said, there was only one doctor for every 550,000 Inhabitants, and one missionary for every 335.000 natives. She made a plea to young girls to make Indian mis sionary work their vocation. She begged mothers to ' let their daughters go to the field and particularly she asked the daughters themselves to recognize the earnest call there was for them to work in India. Miss Ferine, home secretary, made a few remarks on the work of the society. C. L. Maxwell, of Seattle and the Phil ippine Islands.- told of the work to "shine' inside" the natives. John Dean, of Se attle, mentioned the evangelistic services being held on the "Paystreak" at ttvs exposition grounds Saturday afternoons and evenings, by special permission. Women of the convention are invited to attend a reception given by the W. C T. V. at the Y. W. C. A. rooms this aft ernoon. Men of the convention are in cluded in the invitation. The session of the convention last night was devoted to an address by Dr. Bar--bour on 'The Message of the East to the West." The platform was filled with the missionaries of the American Bant bat Missionary Union at the convention, and with those who are going Into the foreign missionary, field. Introduced by Dr. Fred Haggard, sec retary of the union, in a few pithy re marks, each new missionary gave his tes timony as to the reason he had felt a call to the work. Those who spoke and their destinations are: W. L. Soper Burma: R. D. Stafford. East China; c' H. Tilden. Assam: Mr. and Mrs. c" E Claney, Burma; Mr. and Mrs. J "w Longley, South India; P. R.
