Secretary Lashier emphasized that the 10-cents-a-week plan from every member had yielded a large sum from the ET63 members, the amount being $31,906, or $1930 more than the former two years. The dis bursements for 190S-1909 were $126,051, and there was a balance of $4465 on hand January 1, 1910. If was shown that the trust fund had grown from $12,765 in 1906 to $36,921 in 1909. A. G.

Conference Is Congratulated. Klder I. H. Evans, who is on his way ti the Orient, delivered an address on the financial plan of the general con Terence, explaining the methods and answering questions. Among other things Elder Evans said: Our financial plana cover the whole of the mission field. I want to emphasize th importune or BndinR all money in' tended for the mission neM throufth the rete ll lar official channel. , Money sent direct to an individual worker in the mission field Is not reported, -nor do we know how it Is upeo. made up the budget of ex Mnica for each, missionary and make ap propriatlona to cover his expense, in cluding his ' salary and other ex penses out of the g-eneral fund. If you send him money direct we never hear of it and cannot get trace of It. Also the general conference discourages the practice of men entering conferences and canvassing for money for different purposes without cre- oenuaut rrom the general conference. Again for any purpose unless he carries the cre dentials from the genera lconference. Again I want to ursre you to make your contri butions through the regular official chan nels of the church, as that Is the only way by which we can keep track of the money raised for the missions throughout the world. in 'behalf of the general conference I want to thank the Xorth Pacific Union Confer ence for its co-operation and congratulate you on the splendid showing these reports make, the per cent of gain financially In some cases being- 800. Charles N. Miller, of Coll e ere View. Neb., editor of Christian Record, de voted to the Interest of the blind, will address the conference In the week.

"Endeavorers are planning big- things In membership in 1911," said Rev. Guy L. Dick, of one of the local societies. "During- the past few years there has not boen the same uniform growth which was formerly seen. Oregon's ap portionment was 60 new societies. "Besides strengthening our stakes at home, we are planning to take in the foreign work. For the first time in their history the Christian Kndeavorers of the Northwest will take a real fi nancial Interest In foreign missions.

FAIRBANKS' ACT APPROVED Methodists Feel Statement of Arch bishop Ireland, Although They . Do Not Care What Bishops of Rome May Say. Rev. Benjamin Toung took occasion In his sermon at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church yesterday morning to criticise freely Archbishop Ireland's statement re garding the incident in Rome Involving ex-Vice-President Fairbanks and the Pope. Dr. Toung said that Methodists feel keenly the statement of Archbishop Ireland, although they do not care so much about what the Catholic bishops In Rome may say. "That is their affair." said Dr. Young. "But. Irrespective of what they may think or say, we are expending $.60,000 this year in the extension of Methodist Church work in Rome and Italy." Dr. Toung said that the Methodist. Church is not proselyting among mem bers of the Catholic Church in Ronse any more than it is in Portland. The speaker's text was the story of the miracle performed by Christ in healing the man with the withered hand. "The Value of a Man" was the subject. Vice-President Is Methodist. "On his trip around the world recently ex-Vice-Presldent Fairbanks, who is a member of the Meridian-street Methodist Church, of Indianapolis, was interviewed by a representative of the Pope, who asked Mr. Fairbanks' consent to an audi ence with his holiness. This invitation was accepted," said the speaker. "It was not then known by the papal see, evidently, that Mr. Fairbanks had consented to address a mass meeting in Rome of the 4000 Methodists there, but when this was learned later, it resulted in a second interview between Mr. Fair banks and the papal representative, in which the ex-Vice-President was asked to break his engagement with the Meth odists, as the audience witli the Pope otherwise could not take place, this be ing considered a recognition of the Meth odist .Church. The visit to the Popo did not take place. "The Methodists have a college for women in Rome, known as Crandon Hall, besides a deaconness' home," said Rev. Dr. Young. "In the school we have between 400 and 600 pupils. Bishop William Burt, an able administrator, is In charge, although his headquarters are at Zurlck, Switzerland. Recognition Not Asked. "The Catholics complain that the Methodists are proselyting among their members in Rome, and that Catholic authorities cannot in any way give rec- '.................. ................................................ .....................?

We are there to appeal to thinking men. We ask only that candid men give consideration to such matters as we may present to them. I think . Vice-President Fairbanks was true to the position taken by his church and in harmony with the position taken by thoughtful American citizens. He recognized the rights of Catholics in Rome to do as they felt best with re spect to him. and we recognize tho right of Catholics, or of any one else, to think as they please. We are not prose lyting in Rome any more than we are Portland. We ask only the liberty in Rome, or in any other place, to present what we think is the truth, and it is for men themselves to decide whether or not we have presented correct views. We recognize the rights of the Individ ual, and believe no authority should stand between a man and his God. "Bishop Hartzell made, a statement irt the press the other day which I heart ily indorse. I think it was very franK and clear." Dr. Young criticised the Catholic Church for "not allowing to each man the privilege of using his own judg ment in spiritual matters." The Fomiosftn Railway has completed the nrst year of its operation, and the govern ment is rratifled with tho results.
