cred the memorial sermon, which was
eloquent and patriotic. A selected cho-
rus rendered several songs. Mrs. P. s.

a solo. Rev. l.. Hershner pronounced
the benediction, and the audience dis

Frank Davenport, jr., is in Portland,
where he is doing missionary work for
the Mormon church. The Mormon
church calls upon all Of its young men
who are considered worthy to give part
of their time to missionary work. When

know him, and when called by his
church went gladly to his work. At the
end of two years he will again enter up
on his school studies, but does not in
tend to follow the ministry.
