Strong advocacy of the one-church idea for small communities was the keynote of the Home Mission Confer ence Just closed in Portlarid, accord-, ing to Rev. J. M. Cornellson, Tutuilla missionary who arrived home , this morning from attendance at the con ference. There were about fifty mis sion workers of Oregon present to meet with a number of prominent Home Mission Board secretaries from New York, representing a number of denominations. These secretaries are holding con ferences with the western workers in nil r ' ttijk Ii.r.ar aIHab on1 fhA. n m . .. v I encouraging co-operation among the' denominational churches with a view to securing a few strong churches rather than many weak ones. Under the plan, a small town or community Is delegated to one particular church and upon this church Is imposed the obligation of looking after the mem bers of the other churches in the community as well as Its own. The other churches agree to keep out of the field until such time as the growth of the community demands a second. This Idea Is now In operation at Pi lot Rock, Echo and other I'matiHa county' communities. In Pilot Rock, the presbyterian church has the field to itself but the congregation is com posed of the members of a number of denominations. In Echo the Meth odist church has the exclusive terri tory. In this way, strong churches are built up, whereas, with the con gregation divided, none of the churcn es would thrive. , Rev. Cornellson states that the meeting In Portland was an Inspir ing one and expects much good to re sult from It. The board secretaries passed through Pendleton last night en route to Salt Lake.

According to these. Christabel Pan hurst is anxious to end her long ex ile in Pails and return to London and take" control of the organization, for It is doubtful If her mother, Mrs. Em meline Pankhurst. who Is in Switzer land, will be well enough for some months to resume her duties of com mander-in-chief. But Christabel, the report says, de sires to come back under conditions that will not necessitate frequent terms of Imprisonment for her under the "cat and mouse" act. Therefore it is said, she wants militancy dropped In this stand she has the support of many of the older members of the or ganization, who believe that continu ance of militant tactics will be in jurious to the ause.
