What this big conference means to
Portland perhaps may be best estt-
mated by the men who are In closest
working- touch with the preparation for
Its entertainment. Opinions of many
of them follow:
Permanent Benefit Seen.
I believe that thi convention will con
tribute more of permanent benefit to the
Western city has much prestige as a center
City of Portland than any convention of
recent years. The rest of the world has
come to look; upon the cities of the Pacific
Coast, as enterprising and aggressive in all
that effects material prosperity, but no
of social and intellectual activities. I be
lieve that the delegates from all over the
world will be happily surprised at the civic
consciousness of the City of Portland and
the general and intelligent interest in num
erous social reforms. I know of no other
city In which the people respond so quickly,
renerouslv. and eraciouely to appeals on
.inlcal and social grounds, and the- people
of Portland who aid the Conference will
contribute their time and money to goad
purpose. WILLIAM T. FOSTER,
President Reed College.
Oregon is the center of learning, - justice
and prosperity, and the metropolis of ueh
a state is well entitled to entertain the
Second World's Christian Citizenship Con
ference, which will bring, from its interna
tional character, immense benefit to the
people of this community ; and ty the as
semblage of such a great number of promi
nent delegates, the conciliated friendliness
of the whole world will be an outcome.
With friendliness will come better under
standing: with understanding, closer in
terest: this relatione.! ip will be beneficial
to every country represented but of especial
importance to the great future of the city
Of Portland. MOK1ZO IDA.
Consul for Japan.
Mural Effect Predicted.
The World's Second Christian Citizenship
Conference will be of immense importance
to our city' and state, in emphasizing the
vital value of those principles which form
the foundation of stable and safe govern
ment. We have for several years been
making great progress materially and
financially, but such progress often tends to
make us forget the moral basis' which un
derlies all lasting prosperity. I believe that
the coming Conference will have a very
strong and wholesome Influence in correct
ing this tendency. JOHN BAIN.
A deep awakening of the civic conscious
ness will be the first and Immediate ad
vantage of this great gathering. We need
something of this sort to enable us to keep
pace with the average progress of our
country- This conference will deal with
great and momentous problems; about so
ciety, government, religion, economics, euu
cation. public health and many others. We
are more or less on me xrontier or ae-
velooment along these lines and it la not
too much to say that Portland will take a
much broader view of life and Us intricate
problems than ever before.
RALPH W. HOYT.
Scope World Wide.
This Citizenship Conference Is world-wide
In Its scope and of greater importance than
any convention which could possibly be se
cured. Delegates from all corners of the
world will be in attendance. World prob
lems will be discussed. The convention la
held for the benefit of the race, and in the
interests of humanity. Not only should East
ern and European travel be very marked,
in connection with the attendance at this
meeting, but the attendance from local ter
ritory should be heavy.
A. ty. CHARLTOX.
I think Portland's gain from this Con
ference will be from its world-wide adver
tising. For several months Portland has
bean In the limelight of the public press
throughout the civilized world and her un
surpassed Summer climate, her mountain
and river scenery, and her wealth of beau
tiful roses will be the theme of thousands
of distinguished delegates and visitors as
they return to their distant homes. Port
land will also gain morally by the pres
ence of thousands of her honored guests
and by the spokt-n message from some of
the best representatives of modern thought
on better civilization.
JOHN 8. BRADLEY.
Movement Biggest of Age.
The bluest movements in history have
been religious movements, and rro doubt
this la one of the biggest movements of
this age, and it is a big thing for Portland
to have a convention of this kind. Our op
portunity lies in giving the delegates a
proper impression of the GrVat Northwest
and our hospitality. These delegates and
speakers are representative men from all
parts of the world and are, for the most
part, men who are lecturing and addressing
thousands of people all over the world and
the impression they take with them of our
people and city, if thi impression is right.
seems to me to be the thing that will be
of greatest valuti to the city.
A. E. DOYLE.
This conference will focalize upon Port
land for one wek the Interest and attention
of the most intelligent people of the civilized
world. It will give to the delegates rfind
others an opportunity to hear the very lat
est word upon subjects that are now of
world-wide Interest. It should have a
mighty Influence upon the moral, civil and
religious life of our city, state and Nation.
J. K. GILL.
Advantages, Will be Shown.
We are going to have the privilege ot
meeting at thla conference several thousand
broad-minded men from all parts of the
world who havf ben carefully chosen be
cause of their ability to absorb and apply
those thlnps which tend to the moral, men
tal and physical improvement of mankind.
If as we beilrve. we possess advantages in
the way of natural resources, pleasant sur
roundings, true hospitality and other things
which may interest and benefit those in
less favored localities, we now have the op
portunity of revealing them to the very men
who are sent here to learn of such things,
and who are most competent to appraise
their value and to carry the information
home to the people who sent llJJmGIXg
During the conference our city will be
the center of Interest to the best people
of the world. The exalted character of the
men and women who will meet here, and
the thoughtful and inspiring words which
they will speak, cannot fall to leave their
Impression on us. and to make for higher
ideals In our citizenship.
J. P. NEWELL.
Great Opportunity Seen.
Nothing has come to Portland of so wide
x scope or so far-reaching In its effect as
this conference will be. It brings to us the
representative men of the Nation. The
