scented by ministers and lay delegates. The
principal part of the FIRST days proce ediuas was

OF the old Puget sound association into two

churches in the region Of Tacoma, the other of
those In the region of Seattle and on north to

ator, and Rev. C. l. Fowler, OF Edmouds, and

. halfhour given to devotional exercises the
association proceeded to the adoption of con-
stitution. The name. "Ths Seattle Association

OF doctrine. Congregational churches and min
listers In charge of churches and ministers with
proper credentials who are members of any
church within the bounds of the association,

titled to representation by pastor and two dele
