The Portland daily press., 1900-10-12


terestingly on the interest and enthusiasm
OF the national con yention.
MIR. Atwood said there was one thing
to be regretted, and that was the meager
reports given by the southern press. He
said that the prospects for the future
growth of the denomination In the South
were much brighter than ever before, and
that the erection of a church by the Y. p.
9. u Of the country at Atlanta, Georgia,
which was dedicated at the time of the
national convention marked an epoch in
the life and history of the denomination.
Mrs Olive M Kimbau the state SUPER
intendent of junior work, was called t o
the front and in few well chosen words
presented the silk banner purchased by
the senior unions of the state to be pre-
sented to the junior union making the
largest per cent OF gain in mem bership
during the past year. Mrs K'mball
awarded the banner to the junior union
at Lewiston. Mrs. M. Cora Winship the
superintendent of the Lewiston union,
accepted the banner In q brief but appro-
pirate speech of acceptance and assured
the convention that the Lewiston Juniors
would appreciate the banner and strive to
retain 1t another year.
The committee on resolutions presented
the following resolution, which were
unanimously adopted:

the Illness of Miss Annie II. Stevens,
