The CONGREGATIONAL Church.

Much speculation was INDUCED in
as to the character Of tue commune
cation Rev. Kantner proposed making
to his church yesterday. A large
audience was present and while the
sermon, based on the significant lang
uagei in 2 Cor. 5-l3.l4, was listened TO
with more than ordinary inter
est, it was evident that supreme in
terest ceDtered upon the communica-
tiOn as was announced to follow the
sermon.
1t proved - be an earnest enthusi-
astic appeal TO the church TO rasse a
fund of $500 for the mOderniZatiOn of
OF the church building, an improve.
ment which the CongregationalIsts
OF Salem ought to make at once.
The National Council Of the de-
nomination meets 10 Portland in July.
Delegates from all parts of the United

gested TO invite this representative
body TO visit Salem, sometime d uring
their presence in Oregon.
AT The close Of the service not a
discOrdant note was heard. Every
body seeming heartily in favor of the
project and some already Offering tC
contribute to the fund. Among these
some not connected with the church.
1t remains to be seen whether this
large church will support their pastor
in this project.

DAVIS AND BINGHAM
Put Themselves On Record for Reform
Ideas IN Our schools.


Too late for publication, Saturday,
The JOURNAL was offered the follow
ing statement OF interest to the
voters Of school district No. "a, Salem:
ITO the legal Voters Of School Dis
trict No. "a:
''In answer TO questions which
have been asked Of US individually by
number Of voters, in reference 10
our views upon certain matters OF in
terest TO voters, We beg leave TO state
THAT so far as the law will permit
we are in favor Of funding the present
Indebtedness Of the school district at
the lowest possible rate Of interest, OF
the making Of bonds Of small denOmi-
nations so that the same may be pur-
chased by persons Of limited means
"We are in favor Of selecting teach.
ers without reference to their political
or religious beliefs, or relationship TO
those in authority, but with reference
alone to their moral standing and
educational fitness. We think no
teacher should be dismissed without
just cause and an opportunity to re-
fute any charges made. The tenure
OF office should be fixed by a faithful
and conscientious discharge Of duty.
The schools are supported by the in
habitants Of the school district and
the benefits therefrom should be en-
joyed by such inhabitants and so far
as il Is consistent with the efficient
management of the schools we are in
favor of employing teachers from
among the residents Of the district.
I'VE are 10 favor OF keeping the
standard OF our schools equal to that
OF any other public school in Oregon,
and Of adopting all modern methods
TO increase their prOhency.
"We are in favor Of the invitation Of
bids for furnishing Of all supplies for
district and an opportunity for all
persons who so desire to compete for
the furnishing Of the same For a
business management of the affairs OF
the district and for the practice Of
economy without stlnginess in all of
the district expenditures.
