Considerable excitement was caused by a ahot by one of the Wasco boys, the ball bal ancing on the rim of the basket for a period of about ten seconds. CHURCH NEWS Notes of Interest to AD Local Denominations In Presbyterian circles the biggest event next month is the coming of a visitation team which will visit every church possible in Pendleton Presbytery in the first eleven days of March. The date set for Moro is Friday afternoon and evening, Marsh,, sixth, altho there is a movement oa foot, to have that changed to another evening, possibly Wednesday, March fourth. Five men make up the team; Rev.G. H. Wilbur of Hood River la our Sunday school missionary, and directs the itinerary of the team; Rev. D. A. Thompson,D. D. of Port land represents the board of 'national missions; Rev. W. L. Van Nuys of Portland represents board of Christian education. There will also be a rep resentative of the board of foreign missions, and another of the board of pensioni. It is possible that' Dr. J. M. Skinner of San Francisco,-*will represent the latter, and possibly Rev. Mr. Gault, a missionary from the Camerons, West Africa, may rep resent the former. • Tentative ar- rangments were made last Sunday for a local program which may work out as follows: An afternoon meeting primarily for women at some home in town; a meeting for the young people from five to six in the afternoon; a pot luck supper and conference for everybody in the church, and the evening mass meeting with addressee by some of the repreeentatives of the team. This is going to be a big dsy for Moro, and everybody should make preparations to attend these sessions.
