Formal Session In June.
When the 0th annual convention
of the diocese of Oregon of the Epis
copal church met yesterday morning
It was discovered that legally no con
vention could be held until June. Ac
the suggestion of Bishop Charles Scad
dlng, the members present formed a
committee of the whole and proceeded
to transact business as usual, but
wholly Informally. Bishop Scaddlng
has issued a new call for a conven
tion June 23, which will be merely a
formal affair to adopt the "report" of
the present convention and thus make
all things within the law.
Most of the time yesterday was taken
up discussing money and how to get it
for tha many purposes of the church.
Bishop Scaddlng salary will probably
be raised from $3,000 to $3,600. The
sum of $7,500 has been paid out for
missions and $7,900 collected for this

purpose. A warm discussion followed
over the objections entered by James
Laidlaw, law member from Trinity of
this city, that his church was paying
about one-third of the expenses or tne
convention, but that It has no more
voice in the proceedings than the small
est church that paid 1 almost nothing.

Hospital Hot Balf-Strpporting.
The Oood Samaritan hospital and St
Helen's hall are costing $800 a month
above their Income to maintain, which
lack the church supplies, and a hard
effort will be made to get funds for
this really worthy cause.
Last night In the Trinity church was
held the annual meeting- of the Brother
hood of St. Andrew, consisting of seven
chapters. Reports financial and other
wise were read and considered.
Tonight the International Clerlcus
will meet In St. Stephen's-church, when
about 40 delegates will be present.

Bishop's Annual Address.
After elvlnsr some statistics from his
official Journal, Bishop Scaddlng said In
part:
"The general convention assembled
in Richmond accepted our plea asking
that all that portion of Oregon lying
east of the Cascade range be ceded over
to the general board of domestic and
foreia-n missions to become the mission
ary district of eastern Oregon. I desire
to state at the very outset how sin
cere is my regard in parting with the
eople or eastern uregon, irom wnom
have received so' many kindnesses
and such loyal sympathy. Gladly would
I nave continuea my ministrations
among them nad i Deiievea mat tne
work of the church could have been
better promoted by preserving the in
tegrity of the diocese.
"The parishes and missions In eastern
Oregon are our brothes; we were raised
together by the) same good facher in
God, Bishop Morris. The action of the
general convention was not to separate
us in- our efforts for the upbuilding
of the kingdom - but rather to strengthen
both. Legal - arrangements are now
being made regarding title to property.
Property and trust funds are now being
segregated so mat a proper aistriDu
tion may be made. With Joseph
N. Teal representing the Bishop Morris
estate, Rodney Gllsan representing
the bishop of Oregon. William
Ramsey of La Grande representing; the
bishop of eastern Oregon, and J. K.
Kollock representing tne scnooi ooara in
legal matters,' all matters referring to
title to property, trust funds, etc.. will
soon be legally and happily adjusted.
The 18.600 pail juisnop raaaocit in
salary and traveling expenses by the
reneral board is eaufll to an Episcopal
endowment fund of $70,000 at t per cent
interest so long as eastern Oregon re
mains a missionary district, and the fact
that the parishes and missions there
will. now be "relieved of the burden of
the assessments for the bishop's salary
will give great encouragement .
) . Charon Institutions In Xb Slooaaa.
."Whll full renorts of our churcn
Institutions will be printed In the Jour
nal of - the diocese. I desire here to -express
my appreciation of the splendid
condition of both the Good 8amarttnn
hospital and St Helen's hall, and the
excellent work done by both. . ' k
"Th rinni RamflMfitn hoaoltal Look
ing over the. work of the hospital for
year ending May SI, 1892, the number
of patients treated was 980. For the
year ending May 31, 1907, the number
treated was 3,768. Through the be
quest of the late Miss Rachel Morris
of $5,000, and the generous gifts of
$10,000 from Mrs. Lewis, of $10,000
from the Gllsan family, and 15.000 from
the Misses Falling, and other gifts ac
knowledged in the hospital report, the
trustees are enaoiea to ouua tne central
Dutiding at once.
"8t. Helen's hall Our diocesan
school for girls is holding up Its excel
lent reputation. The certificate of col
lege preparatory work at St. Helen's
hall Is accepted at Wellesley college,
also at the state universities of Wash
ington and Orgon. But it is not only
scholarship that is aimed at, for here
the young daughters of Oigon are sur
rounded By all the influences of a gen
tle, refinid and cultured Christian
home.
"The Episcopal endowment fund
Owing to the inadequate endowment of
the Episcopate assessments have still
to be made for the bishop's salary. If
we were a missionary district this sal
ary and traveling expenses would not
be met by the general board, but be
ing a diocese it has to be met from
the interest on the endowment fund
plus assessments on the parishes and
missions. If we In Oregon have fallen
between the two stools or ample Epis
copal endowment and support as a mis
sionary district It is childish to sit on
the ground and cry over our bump. We
must get up and strengthen our Epis
copal endowment and as soon as pos
sible throw our whole weiajht on It We
can do it lr we win, and the way to
do It Is to set about it along the line
of some definite and permanent plan.

"Those who look beyond the absorb

regard to faith and morals. It may be
that we cannot trust the bishops, and
we cannot trust conventions, but we

adversaries, but which is, nevertheless,
among her most precious characteris

Secret of Attandane at PubUo Worahip.
'itlw question la often debated, "Why
do not men go to church T Various an
swers are given, all with many grain
of truth In. them no doubt, but the real
answer lies far behind all the various
excuses. They do not go to church ( be
cause they do not love God, If they
really 'loved God howvr tnarirnimte
thofthe accommodation, they would flock to
thai rh.l. v.a-vamI. it. . u . . i irk
their J-jeavenly Father house. The
cheapening of religion, the sensational
advertisements of popular preaching,
people's forums these and a thousand
other expedients may be tried, but at
best their success can be but temporary.
For why do men not love God except
that they have failed to discover that
he Is lovable? And If they liave so
failed, may It not be that Uie fault
rests with those who bear the name of
Christ, with us who are communicant
members of the church? Rightly or
wrongly Christ Is Judged of by, his pro
fessing followers. The love of the All
Father, reflected in the tender, lovlnii
kindness of his elect, always wins.
Communicants of this church know, as
none else can know, the revelation of
the Father's love.
"The collect for this week Is singu
larly appropriate: O Almlgfhty God,
who alone canst order the unruly will,
and affections of sinful men, grant
unto thy people, that they may love
the thing which thou commandest and
desire that which thou dost promise;
that so, among the sundry and mani
fold changes of the world, our hearts
may surely there be fixed, where thus
Joys- are to be found; through Jesus
Chrls our Lord Amen.'
CALLING OF CONVENTION'.
Irregularity to Be Corrected at
Later Date.
Before the opening of the convention
yesterday forenoon the blahoa made the
following statement:
"I vwould at the outset call the atten
tion of all present to the resolution
unanimously passed at the last annual
convention and recorded on page 44 of
the last Journal of convention:
"'Resolved, That unanimous consent
be given to the bishop to call the next
annual convention at such time during
the month of May as he shall determine.
" 'A. A. MORRISON.
"'FRANK SPITTLE.
" 'H. C. COLLINS.
" 'Committee.'
"After being duly presented bv this
special committee this resolution was
unanimously adopted, and accordingly
the bishop called the convention to as
semble on this date. May 18.
'The reasons for this dhange were
practical, and had the Indorsement of
common sense. We desired to have our
diocesan convention precede the Inter
national clerlcus, and the primary coun
cil of the Eighth department so that
our delegates might be present at all
three functions without having to mak
an additional trip to Portland, and also
that the bishops of the Eighth depart
ment who desired to attend the Pan
Angellcan congress, and the Lambeth
conference might also be at the Port
land conference, which would be possi
ble In May but Impossible If held In
June.
After 6111 Asr the convention for Mav
It and 19 It was discovered, too late to
change the date, that thss resolution
was unconstitutional, for article III
says that "there shall be a convention
RECIPE FOR PIMPLES AND
FACIAL BLEMISHES
At this time of the year, owing to the
varying diets. It la difficult to keep the
face and neck free from eruptions.
The simple formula below Is given
out and Is said to be the most effective
obtainable for a complexion restorer as
well as for removing blackheads, pim
ples and blemishes. The ingredients
are procurable at any well stocked
drug store, and are as follows: Two
ounces Rose Water; one ounce Spirits
of Cologne; four ounces 8attoln (crys
tallised). Put the Sartoln Into a pint of i hot
water (not boiling), and after ft is
cooled,, strain through a fine cloth and
add the Rose Water and- Cologne Spir
its. Apply Immediately after waahinsr
and to only a portion of the skin at a
time, using tho bare hands. Never use
a cloth. After one part Is thus treated,
proceed to 'j another. - This should be
done twice a day or oftener, and-no
other lotion, powder or cream need be
used. . ' ,
It is an inexpensive preparation

of this church in this diocese, to be
holden some time during the month of
June, as the bishop may appoint; tne
only exception being in the case of "the
prevalence or an epiaemic aiseue, wuen
the bishop shall have power to change
the time or place, or ootn, or s&ia meet
log. at his discretion."
7Tho bishop has had legal advice on
the matter, and as legal complications
would likely arise regarding our incor
porated boards If action were to be
taken at this time, he Is of the oftlnlon
that the calling of the convention by
action of the last convention Is not ac
cording to the wording of- the constitu
tion, and that under no circumstances
should any action be taken affecting the
legal status or the incorporated ooaras,
or which would cause any legal complications.
"Therefore, If any delegate, clerical or
lay. so requests, he will call tne twen
tieth annual convention to meet In Port
land In the end of June, the constltu
tlonal time of meeting, the place and
date to be announced oy the secretary
and a month's notice will be siven.
"The bishop greatly regrets the error
into which, wltn tne very Dest inten
tions, we have all fallen. There is.
however, no reason why we should not
go Into a committee of the whole, hear
the bishops annual address and other
reports, enter into friendly counsel and
discussion, enjoy the gracious hospi
tality of the ladles' guild, and tht par
ishioners of Trinity for today, and take
the situation as good numorediy as pos
sible." Bv resolution a committee was ap-
ftolnted to consider the subject on Its
egal side, .and reported after luncheon
as follows:
In the opinion of the committee the
assembly cannot be considered as a
legally called annual convention. That
It be resolved Into a conference upon
the state of the church in the diocese.
That It consider reports of officers.
board and committees, and do all such
other ' acts as may not affect the legal
status of any diocesan Interests or in
stitutions.
"That Inasmuch as the constitution
makes It mandatory that an annual con
vention of the) diocese hall be caned
In June of each year, we advise that
the bishop call such an annual conven
tion for such time In June. 1908, as will
admit of the legal notice, and as lie
may decide proper.

CONGRESS DOES
NOT SPARE COIN
Vast Appropriations Will

National Treasury.
(United Pn Leased Wire.)
Washington. May 19. Congress will
have appropriated the enormous sum of
$1,026000,000 before the present session
ends, thereby earning the title of "bil
lion dollar congress."
There Is every indication, too, that one
result of this will be a deficit of-between
1125.000,000 and $175,000,000.
Never before hag any congress- voted
such heavy appropriations ott a single
session. This money Is for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 190S. Althourh
it Is too early to make predictions as to
the definite - amount of. the revenues

TIME BY WIRELESS
WOULD AID MAELYERS
Paris. May 18. A new use for wire
less telegraphy has been suggested by
Professor Bouquet de la Br ye at the
Academy of Science. He proposed that
the wireless system should be utilized
f.or enabling vessels at sea to find their
longitude.
The Eiffel tower In Paris can at pres
ent send radio-telegrams to points with
in a radius of 1,200 miles, which com
prises the Mediterranean and a portion
of the Atlantic. If a standard time were
signaled from the tower all vessels
fitted with Marconi apparatus within the
radius could tlx their longitude by com
paring Paris time with their own chron
ometers, and thus avoid the complicated
