favored us with a vocal solo. Reports
from district presidents were called for.
Dayton had one and McMinnville dis

Bowersox. Dr. Watts and Rev. Jesse
Edwards were elected as delegates to the
state convention. The usual resolutions
were adopted. On motion, each school
in the county is to be taxed one cent per
capita for the expenses of county Sunday
school work. The statistical secretary
reported as follows: No. of schools, 37;
No. of officers and teachers, 329; total
membership, 2577; average attendance,

EVENING SES8ION.
After devotional service and vocal solo
by Miss Satcbwell, Mr. A. A. Morse,
state secretary, of Portland, delivered an
address ou home and normal department
work, and after singing, an address on
“The Relation of the Church to the Sun
day School.” Allgood. After a duet by
Mrs. Robertson and Miss Altermatt, the
convention adjourned. This is but a
brief synopsis of a most enthusiastic con
vention. All the subjects were fully dis
cussed by different persons. The con
gregations were large and attentive. The
singing was good. The Newberg people
vied with each other in making the many
delegates feel at home, and all realized
that it was good to be there.
