A county committee under the chairman ship of Rev. E. E. MeVicker, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Moro, cooperated with Jtev. John D. Rice, state survey supervisor, in gathering the statistics. It* is doubtful if the survey was completed in any county in the coun try in shorter time than this one. With the pastors and their church officials ready with the necessary data, a tour beginning Monday even- ning and concluding Wednesday eve ning saw the work cached to a quick conclusion. Credit for this record breaking achievement is due Mr. Me- Vicker and his brother pastors. On this tour three addresses were made by Mr. Rice and Mr. McVicker. At the first meeting on Monday, even ing, at the Christian church at Kent, Dr C. F. Swander, state superintend ent of the Christian church, was pres ent and conferred with the pastor and the church officials. Plans were pre sented for the cdhstruction of a new church, to coat between 810,000 and 120,000. ’ A meeting was held at Moro Tues day morning at the -Presbyterian church, attended by Christian leaders of Moro and other places in the coun ty. In the afternoon a County Sur vey Council was organised. It w ill review the iesulta revealed bv the survey and together with the state supervisor w ill work out a program based upon them. The members of the County Council are: R. J. Ginn, Rev. E. E. McVick er, J. E. Coleman, W. L. D illinger, G B. Bourhill, and M. G. Melzer, of Moro; Rev. L. E. Tabor, of Grass Valley; J. H. Wilson and B. M. Sias, of Kent; Rev. R. F. Jackson and Dr. J. C. Ghoimley, of Wasco. Other members w ill be added to the council, ensuring proper representation for every church in the county. Mr. Ginn is chairman and Mr. Me’ser secretary. The prosperity prevailing in Sher man county and the progressivenesa of its citizens were among the facta not ed in the survey. In all a mass of data was secured and when it is tna- lyzed, the needs of the church that it may be made to function more com pletely in each community, w ill be apparent. All of this is included in the great program being developed by the Inter-Church World Movement, which is one of the greatest enter prises in religious history. This survey has now gone in before the State Council, which consists of the general state secretaries of the BOOKS The Best in Books, such authors as '■ Zane Grey, Rex Beach, B. M .
