Of statewide interest to religious
workers is the county conference to
be held In Eugene Friday, June 30,
at which the results of the 'Lane
county church and community sur
vey, recently completed, will be pre
sented. Dr. Alfred Williams An
thony, executive secretary of the
Homo Missions council, New York,
will conduct the conference. Frank
Eberhart, general secretary of the
Y. M. C. A. at Eugene, is acting
as organizing secretary in Lane
county. The survey will be present
ed by the Rev. John D. Rice and Rev.
Joseph D. Boyd of Portland.
Similar conferences are being held
at various other centers in the coun
try and by means of them much of
the survey data gathered by the in
terchurch world movement are be
ing salvaged and made the basis of
constructive programmes for church
strengthening and extension in the
rural fields.
The survey to be presented at Eu
gene was made by Rev. Mr. Boyd in
1920. Since then supplementing
studies have been made by Rev. Mr.
Rice, whereby the survey has been
revised and brought up to date.
The whole work shows an immense
amount of data, facts and figures,
which have been charted and
mapped, so that a clear picture of
church and community conditions in
Lane county will be shown.
Every pastor in the county has
been invited to this meeting, to
gether with two delegates from
every congregation. A number of
the denomlnatlpnal superintendents
and other officials who are keenly
interested in what the survey will
Bhow and in working out an effect
ive programme are also expected to
be present.
Arrangements are being made for
the religious patriotic service to be
held in the afternoon of July 2 on
the Vancouver barracks parade
grounds. The Vancouver churches
and pastors are uniting with the
post to make the occasion one of the
strongest religious-patriotic serv
ices ever held in the county.
All the patriotic orders of the city
and county and Portland are being
invited. Chaplain Bronson says he
is endeavoring to reach all the
churches in the county outside of
Vancouver, directly or indirectly.
The time set for the programme, 3
P. M., is such that it will interfere
with very few of the regular serv
ices of churches. However, some of
the Vancouver churches are consd-
ering suspending their evening serv
ices in lieu of the afternoon pro
gramme.
A few selected hymns will be sung
by the gathering. The combined
choirs of the Vancouver churches
will aid in. the singing and render
special selections besides. The 59th
infantry band will play. A special
order of service Is being arranged
lor tnis occasion.
While the Vancouver pastors will
take various parts in the programme
they have united in inviting Dr.
Thomas Jefferson Villers of th
White Temple, Portland, to give his
sermon lecture, "The- Love of the
Flag.
For the Episcopal convention to be
held here in September John W.
Lethaby, executive secretary, reports
that more than 1800 reservations
have been made to date. The daily
mail runs well over 100 letters.
Hotels will care for some 2000, while
between 2000 and 3000 must be cared
for in private homes. If these fig
ures are maintained the general
convention in Portland will be one
of the most successful and well at
tended In the history of the church.
The only previous occasion when the
general convention was held on the
Pacific coast was at San Francisco. '
A special map, giving the location
of the public auditorium and the
different hotels has been mailed to
4AA0 inquirers. Forty hotels will
care for the deputies during Sep
tember and hundreds of private
houses will extend hospitality.
The chairman of the women's
housing committee asks that all
those who can offer rooms at II a
night up communicate with her by
letter or telephone. Mrs. J. J. Pan
ton, 515 Thompson street, is the
head of this important phase of the
work. Those who can make possi
ble the visit of people of moderate
means will be conferring a great
pleasure on them and also do much
to make Portland true to its record
as the friendly city.
To date reservations have, been
made for bishops and other clergy
from Jerusalem, Japan, China, Cuba,
the canal zone, Brazil, Honolulu,
British Columbia, Ottawa and Eng
land. To show the unique character

Ten years of earnest effort by the
members of Lincoln Methodist
chuTch, East Fifty-second and East
Lincoln streets, has made necessary
a larger house of worship. This Is
especially true of the Sunday school,
which hag outgrown the capacity of
the building, two classes being
forced to meet on the outside. One
class meets in a nearby garage
building, and another in the par
sonage. To meet the needs of this
rapidly growing congregation, the
official members have voted a $7000
improvement to the 'plant.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock all
Portland Methodism is invited to
visit the church, witness the corner
stone ceremonies, and inspect the
new building, which is partially
erected. The special service will be

Methodist church;
and a short talk will be given, by O.
C. Bortzmeyer, prominent layman.
Special music will be furnished by
singers from the larger Methodist
churches.
The new church will occupy the
same site as the old building. It
will provide three times as much
space for the Sunday school and
about twice as much room in the
main auditorium. A modern kitchen
and social rooms -will also be in
cluded. Eager to assist in the erection of
the new plant the 154 members of
the Sunday school recently under
took to raise $1 each within three
Sundays. They more than reached
the goal. $168.50 having been raised.
This money will be used to build
a fireplace in the social room, which
will be used by the smaller children
Sunday mornings and by the Ep
worth league Sunday nights. The
league is now in a campaign to raise
its $50 pledge to the new church.
Each member has been asked to
earn a dollar In some peoullar way.
At a social held several days age 21
of the members turned in. their
money and enlivened a party by re
lating the experiences encountered
in earning their dollar.
SHANGHAI, May 29. At what was
held to be the greatest religious
gathering ever held In China, the
National Christian conference, which
assembled 4n Shanghai In the first !
week of May with 1200 delegates at
tending, a review of the whole vast
field of Protestant Christian mis
sion work In China was undertaken
and changes of procedure of the
mg-nest importance to Keneral mis
sion endeavor in China were au
thorized.
The main body of delegates that
came from all parts of China num
bering a thousand was about even
ly divided, half Chinese and half for
eign, in addition to these some 200
visiting delegates from foreign coun
tries atienaed the conference in
cluding 2 from America, 19 from
Great Britain and five from coun
tries of continental Europe. Among
the prominent figures attending th
big meeting from other lands were
Dr. John R. Mott of the World's Stu
dent Christian federation, F. S.
Brockman of the Y. M. C. A., K. S.
Latroutte, formerly of the Yale mis
sion and now holding the chair of
missions at Yale .university. Mar
shall BroomhaM of the home staff
of the China Inland mission, Dr. H.
T. Hodgkin of the Friends' Foreign
Missionary association, J. H. Old
ham, secretary of the International
Mission council; D. Carl Hei'm of the
Bazra mission, Count J. Moltke of
the Danish council and Bishop Nich
olas 'of Serbia.
Regret Is Expressed.
An outstanding feature of the
conference was the voicing of a de
sire and purpose by a purely Chi
nese conference commission that a
united Christian church indigenous
to China shall come into being. The
single big achievement of the con
ference, however, was the authori
zation of a decided modification in
the method of co-ordinating Protest
ant Christian mission work in China.
In offering the report it made, the
Chinese commission, composed of
men and women, expressed regret
that Christian Chinese are divided
by denominationalism of the west.
Dr. T. T. Lew, spokesman of the
commission, pointed out that this
denorainationalism is based upon
differences, the historical signifi
cance of which, however real and
vital to the missionaries of the west,
is not understood by the Chinese.
For this reason, he said, denomina
tionalism. instead of being a source
of inspiration, has been and Is a
source of bewilderment and ineffi
ciency. The speaker expressed the
belief that it is only the united
church that can save China.
Committee's Work Ended.
The change made by the confer
ence in the method of co-ordinating
mission work brings to a termina
tion the activities of the China con
tinuation committee, a body that
grew out of the missionary confer
ence of 1913 in Shanghai and , a
number of preceding conferences at
Canton. Shanghai, Tsinanfu, Pekin,
Hankow and Mukden. Since It was
formed this committee has served as
a means of communication between
the Protestant Christian forces of
China and mission organizations of
western countries. Us aim has been
to promote co'-operation and co-ordination
among Christian forces in
China and generally to serve as a
clearing house in connection with
all aspects of missionary work in
China.
Through the change effected at
the conference this work is being
taken over and its scope enlarged
