Zurich Convention Described to Sunday School Workers Dr. J. 13. Else Tells State Delegate SO.noo.OOO Members Were Repre sented at Great Meeting. DR. J. EARL ELSE, president of the Sunday School Association of this city, gave an address on the Zurich convention -on Wednesday at one of the sessions of the Oregon State Sun day School Association. Dr. Else said: "At the World's Sunday School Con vention held at Zurich last Summer there were 2609 delegates from 68 countries, representing an actual Sun day school enrollment of more than S0,000,000. A total. of 18.000,000 are in North America. This convention rep resented more people than was ever represented at any one convention be fore. "Of the delegates 1400 were from North America, and among them were many of our leading businessmen, bankers, jurists, physicians and men from all the leading walks in life. "To those who think that a busy man hus no time for this work I wish to point to you such men as John Wananiaker, the merchant prince who has attended Sunday school" continu ously for 63 years, and for 65 years has been superintendent of one Sunday school. "It matters not in what business, profession ur-occupation a man- may toe engaged, the exclusive application of himself to that one particular voca tion narrows his mind so that he can not grasp the biggest problems con nected with 'his work. To be a real big . man he must devote a certain amount of his time to other things in order to have the broad mind he ' needs. He must use care in selecting this sec ondary work, as It must give him rec reation as well as mental development. "Furthermore he must decide upon the amount of time that is to be de voted to his life work and that to 'his avocation, and finally he must apply ltixnself to the avocation In the same sys tematic way and with the same energy that he does to his vocation. To do this means success and this is just the rea son why busy men had time to go to this convention. "These men have selected the Sunday school as the department of the church in which to work because it is the de partment in which results are obtained. It is said that S0-S5 per cent of all people coming into the church come through the Sunday school. Bishop Vincent paid the Sunday, school de velops through education the building of true Christian civilization. If a church wishes to reap a -harvest at the evangelistic meetings the seed must have been previously sown. "The days af the Sunday school are not of yesterday, but of tomorrow." The Episcopalians are preparing for the 26th annual convention of the dio- of Oregon, to-be held in Trinity Parish House May 20 and -1.

A unique plan was tried bv the Christian Endeavorers of. the, jLnabel Presbyterian Church this week, for se curing a record attendance at their regular monthly meeting. Last Sun day the announcement was made that dinner would be served at the church at 7 o'clock, immediately following which the business meeting of the so ciety would be held. A good time and a good meeting were the results. As a phase of the commission plan of government in operation at the Ana bel Presbyterian Church, the differ ent lines of church work are being dis cussed at the regular weekly prayer meetings. The general topic is "The Efficient Church; What Constitutes It?" The several departments under which the work is organized are: Evangelism, missions, young people's work, social service and church visitation. Lutheran Theological Sem inary Ends Year Tea Students Graduated and Two Will Be - Ordained This Term Pastorates Are Waltlns. THE fourth year's work of the Lu theran Theological Seminary in fhis city will be ended with the serv ices to be held in St. James' English Lutheran Church this morning. The seminary has been located temporarily in this city and next September the institution will be opened at its new permanent quarters in Seattle. The services today will be in charge of the Rev. J. Allen Leas, and the ser mon will be preached bv the president of the seminary, the Rev. P. W. H. Frederick. The seminary was founded in order to meet the needs of English Lutheran churches developing in the Northwest. Besides the president, other instruc tors are Rev. J. Allen Leas, Rev. M. E. Boulton and Rev. W. ' I. Kelt. The In stitution is connected with the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church In North America. However, it is intended to be of service to every part of the church and Its activities have not been confined to any one body. - Since the beginning of tho institu tion 30 young men have taken either a part or the whole of their course in It. Of these only one camo from the East. All others are from territory covered by the Pacific Synod. From the sem inary this year two young men will take up the work of the ministry. They are Theodore A. Janscn and Sigurd Olafsson. Mr. Jansen has been supply ing the church at Astoria, Or., and will labor 'n that pastorate this Summer. Next Winter he expects to take up work in an Eastern institution. Mr. Olafsson will take up pastoral work at Blaine, Wash. At its annual meeting last year, the Pacific Synod resolved to procure a new "permanent location for the . sem inary, and this has been done. The Eastern boards favored a location near the University of Washaington at Seattle, and it was decided to locate there. A fine site of 10 acres, within walking distance of the campus of the University, of Seattle, has been se cured, and the work of the seminary will be taken up on the" new site next September. In addition to a theological seminary the plan is to add facilities for college and academic stunts as soon as funds are available for the foundation of such establishments. President Frederick is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College of the class of 1894 and attended Mount Airy Seminary, Philadelphia, and the Chicago Lutheran Seminarv. pran. ating from the latter in 1898. After a year of post graduate study in Europe, he was called back to the rhirmn Seminary as instructor in church his tory and New Testament, where he re mained four years. Removing to Southern California because of the im paired health of Mrs. Frederick, he was pastor for eight years in Pasa dena and San Bernardino, and was called from there to his present posi tion, which he accepted in Oanuary, 1911. Under his administration the work has been thoroughly organized and the seminary has attained full and accredited standing with the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran wnurcn. -ine field of the seminary cov ers the states of Oregon. Wash ins-ton Idaho and the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. Church Has Practical Plans for Needy Women of Grace Memorial Work: - With Pastor In Kf forts to , Meet Needs of Poor.

The popularity of Mrs. Rushmore i attested bv the fact Ihit 17i nf didate, as their choice. If. Mrs. Rushmore had been a Demo crat. there would have been nothini for Jackson to do. of course hut i, his hat po'itely and congratulate her on ner election. Bui, considering her status as a republican. Jackson wus more than willing when she suggested that tbey "draw lots for it." Thus he was able to satisfy the conventionr with a well-turned but inexpensive compliment. "Fortune favors the fair." he said, "so perhaps I might Just as well wish you a successful administration now." And fortune did favor Mrs, Rush more. She met Jackson and a special committee In Pox Lake yesterday and proceeded deftly to draw the long straw with which' went the office of town clerk of Grant. AMERICA INVADES SIBERI British Trade Weaker Than OUier i Xew Farming Coontry. LONDON'. April 30. (Special. 1 Frot the commercial Intelligence department of the Board of Trade the British rep resentative learned that American. Danish and German manufacturers arc more firmly planted in Siberia, which Is prowlng rapidly In importance in agricultural and manufacturing indus tries, than the British. The Danes and Americans have worked wonders In two branches of agriculture in the country. The Germans everywhere in Russia give proof of their capacity to study and adapt their ways and wares to the requirements of the inhabitants. The Swedes share with the Danes the market for dairy accessories. The French have met something of the de mand for fancy goods and toilet ar ticles, the Belgians for guns, and the Americans for scythes and sickles. The whole country Is now open to all nations and most countries, except England, are benefiting to a marked degree. The stream of Immigration has revived and enlarged the agricultural openings and the resources of the whole region, more especially of Western Si beria, have already given rise to a flourishing export trade In butter and to a rapidly increasing import of Rus sian and American agricultural ma chinery. 1 BRITISH PIG DISAPPEARING Swine Fever Rages In Spite of All Efforts to Stop Disease. LONDON. May 2. Special.)
