never nave occasion to meet until the
convention meets next year in Chicago.
Nobody knows the exact date the con
vention will convene, that is a matter
left to the discretion of the executive
committee.
And so the convention passed. With the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" last night,
the great audience gathered in the White
Temple dispersed. Many say there will
never be another convention like the Port
land one, but however that may be, there
were many who paid their last visits to
their friends, many who will die in the
missionary field and many who look for
ward to conventions years hence when
greetings will again be exchanged. "The
convention is over," is the cry. "Now
let's get ready for the next one."

FUTI-RE9 OF NORTHERS BAP
TIST (OXVEMIOS OF 1809.
The Northern Baptist Convention
convened under the presidency of
Harry Pratt Judson Friday. June
26 at S p. M. and adjourned last
night at 10:so oclock. With the ex
ception of Sunday and yesterday
afternoon. the convention has held
three sessions dally.
The Important business transacted
has been the unification of the bud
ret; adoption of a pledge to rail
a budget of U.OOO.OOO; the admit
tance of the woman's society a a
society co-ordinating with the con
vention, and the general union of the
.Baptist churches Into one aolid or
ganization. Most of the convention business
was transacted by committee and
was pres-ntod to the convention In
cut and dried form. The attendance.
1743 delegates, waa the largest at
any Baptist assembly of the kind

Thursday. If anyone wanted to register,
he uld. but the feeling apparent was
that the convention was so nearly over
that registration would be ridiculous.
Attendance Slight in Morning. .
Very sparse was the attendance at the
convention yesterday morning. Instead ot
that the rooms at the hotels were oc
cupied with many packing up their be
longings for the homeward Journey. A
still greater number took occasion to
make the up-river excursions, because of
the failure of the committee to arrange
the picnic for Saturday. Yesterday more
than any other day. the remaining dele
gates wie re on the hills; Borne went auto
mobillng; others spent the day In the
parks; the museum at the City Hall was
Inspected and the beauties of Portland
were by no means neglected.
"Portland day" will be celebrated at
almost every Baptist Church of any prom
inence tn the East a week from tomor
row. The Baptists have been well en
tertained In Portland, the city has been
thrown open to them, they have had an
enjoyable convention, and it would be
the height of ingratitude on their part if
the congregations who will hang on the
words of the tale they bring from the
Northwest are not informed as to what
Portland has to offer and has offered.
Then there are the leaders of the great
Baptist societies, men who travel from
one end of the land to the other; at every
stop they aay they will be able only to
talk of Portland and of the wonderful
things here. For they are not all leaving
today. Some few will stay to acquaint
themselves with the possibilities Port
land has to offer.
Back to Chicago goes President Judson
of the University of Chicago. To him
COme miintlPRH I'mincr man , i
Will that advice be "go West, young man?"
After talking a few minutes with Dr. Jud
son and learning that he believed Port
land is to become the metropolis of the
whole country in 20 years, it is impos
sible to doubt the answer to the question.
Perhaps to the resident of Portland!
who has seen the Baptist badges all over
the city, the most Interesting feature
of the morning session was the report of
the enrollment committee. C. A. "VVooddy,
chairman, said 1742 delegates had regis
tered, of which Washington and Oregon
furnished 400. California made a third
largely representated state with 162 dele
gates, Delaware and Mexico were at the
bottom of the list with a solitary unit
apiece.
The report of the committee on time
and place waa unanimous. Despite this,
very courteous thanks were extended to
several other Far Eastern points for an
invitation.
Washington delegates received a shock
when Rev. M. A. Levy, of Massachusetts,
moved that a vote of thanks be ac
corded the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifle Exposi
tion management for its action In closing
the Fair Sunday, and prohibiting the
pale of liquor on that date. A emile went
through the Washington delegation and
Vice-President Shank looked rather
startled. There seemed to be a feeling of
wonder whether after all the Fair peo
ple had taken this action.
Committees Organize for Work.
For Mr. Levy, Dr. Judson saved the
situation by saying the motion would be
eminently proper if warranted by the
facts. Mr. Levy investigated and did not
reintroduce his motion.
A resolution was adopted deploring the
Congo situation, which the secretary was
instructed to forward to Secretary Knox,
despito the protest of a delegate that
the convention should first take cogni
sance of conditions in America, where
negroes are burnt at the stake, lynched
and maltreated, he said.
Xo actual session was held in the after
noon. In place of that all of the many
committees appointed by the president
and the convention met In various parts
of the .White Temple and organized for
the ensuing year. Officers were elected
and meeting pi acqs settled. For many of
the committeea to hold a full meeting will
be Impossible. Many committees are com
posed of a delegate from each state, and
they may never meet in full. As a matter
ot fact committee business is usually
CONVENTION' COMES TO END
Ir. Judson Makes Farewell Address
to Baptist Delegates.
"I adjourn this Northern Baptist Con
vention of 1909 without day."- These were
the last words of President Judson as he
dismissed the big denominational gather
ing at Its final session last night at the
White Temple.
But the convention was not anxious to
be dismissed. The delegates hung about
the platform and finally a long lino
pussed desiring to shake hands with Dr.
Judson and Rev. W. C. Bitting, the con
vention secretary. For each the officers
had a pleasant word and kindly greet
ing. On the conclusion of the business that
had come before the session. President
Judson said he desired to say a few
closing words. "Wt have achieved a
revolution in Baptist' policy," he said.
"Not a reactionary revolution, but a
revolution in methods for the splendid
things we have done. It has not been a
rrvuit'iion ot aesiruction, due a revolu
tion of construction.
"We have been engaged in something
that is a part of the age; we have been
trying to adopt our democracy to the

After narrating what he believed to be
i no more satisiaciory system in loree m
England, the speaker added: "We must
learn to adapt our democracy to modern
conditions and make it democracy or
ganized and effective, and that is the
iMorthern Baptist Convention."

This little preamble points to the fact that the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, on a water-level route has been built for
some time; it is now, and has been, in actual operation. There is no hocus pocus in this statement.- We of us who have ridden over
the road know that six trains each and every day set down passengers' at COLUMBIA BEACH.

THEY'RE ALL COMING BACK NEXT YEAR. COLUMBIA BEACH FOR A GOOD TIME, EVERY TIME. That's their
opinion ask them.
-And on the heels of their going is to be ushered in that good old time so much talked of, the 5th of July Clam Bake and celebra

CONVENTION DELEGATES AT COLUMBIA BEACH
During the coming ten days hundreds of people are going to visit COLUMBIA BEACH. Large numbers of the Northern Bap
tist Convention delegates will be on hand. They're going to look for pleasure as well as profit at the Oregon Baptist Summer
Assembly, commencing its meetings at the beach on July 6.
COLUMBIA BEACH events'follow each other rapidly these days. The Students' Conference boys leave, and a crowd of
Behnke-Walker students and other Portland people arrive, only to make way for the Baptist people, all of them becoming fast
friends with and admirers of COLUMBIA BEACH and the spirit of push and progress shown there. BETTER ARRANGE TO

President of Chicago University Has
Good Word for Portland and Is

of Convention.
"As viewed from the viewpoint
resident of the central states, Portland
is the city and the Pacific Northwest the
country of the 20th century."
That was what Harrv Pratt t,,,
president of the University of Chicago)
president of the Northern Bantist
vention, noted educationalist and writer
on current topics had to say as expressing
his views on what he has observed rii.r!r.,r
a prolonged study of local conditions.

consideration. President Judson is not

disseminating them. Although tills is the
em.-unu nine ne nas visited .Portland, the
day of his arrival for the convention, he
was enthusiastic about Portland's beauty,
but said he had not had the opportunity
to study local conditions. Since then he
has made good use of his spare time. He
speaks in the manner of a thinker con
versant with the Oriental situation with
regard 10 tne .Northwest. He does not
pretend Portland, or Portland and Seattle,
or any combination of cities in the Pacific
West will control the trade of the Orient.
The trade is for the world, he says, and
li stands to reason the Northwest will
have its share.
"But what about the hnirio hA .

said that China and Japan have hoarded

was another statement made by the uni
versity chief.
It was somewhat notable that he spoke
of coming from the central states. Dwel
lers in the Northwest have been so ac
customed to hearing dwellers In and
around Illinois allude to their homes in
the West and the Northwest as the "Far
West.", that It was somewhat refreshing
to speak to one who saw things in their
right perspective.
Of the Baptist convention. Dr. Judson
had nothing but the warmest praise. "The
most important thing done," he said, "was
that organization has been accomplished
of the Baptist churchee. After that we
may include the adoption of the report
of the committee on legal relations, that
of the finance committee and that of the
budget of $1,000,000; each in the order
mentioned."
Dr. Judson said that personally he was
very well satisfied with the work the con
vention had performed, with the results
of the work and with its efTects and he
believed that this was the greatest Baptist
convention ever held.

TRIPTO HOLY LAND ENDS
REV. E. NELSON ALIiEX BACK
AFTER FIVE MONTHS.
Will Take TJp Work In Hawthorne
Park Presbyterian Church
at Once.
Rev. E. Nelson Allen, pastor of the
Hawthorne Park Presbyterian Church,
arrived last night with his family after
a trip to Egypt and Jerusalem, where
they spent nearly five months. They were
welcomed at the manse by a number of
friends. They left Portland February
last, expecting to be away four months,
but prolonged their journey one month.
Rev. and Mrs. Allen were delighted to
get back to Portland and the welcome
they received from friends and members
of the church made their return doubly
pleasant. At the parsonage an agreeable
surprise was in store for them. On the
second floor, where there was a window,
there Is now an ample sleeping porch.
erected there as a surprise by the mem
bers of the church.
Rev. Allen made a close study of Egypt
and Palestine from a Biblical viewpoint;
made copious notes of his Investigations
and secured many -photographs. It had
long been his desire to go over the same
ground Jesus' had traveled and make a
study of the scenes personally. Rev.
Allen will resume his work at once and
Sunday morning will deliver a sermon on
the topic. "Meditations on Mount Cal
vary." He may give a full account soon
of his experiences, illustrated by the
many pictures he was able to secure.
