City Supt. Traver and his assistant
have been putting in extra time pre-
pairing a very creditable exhibit o
work by the public school children fol

1893 specimens of work, just as pro
duced by the children, in penman
ship spelling, language, geography
music, physiology and history The
language work contains ongina'
stories, analyses OF sentences and com
position. The writing is nearly ali
done in tho vertical hand, some Of
them most beautiful lettering Of the
square form Of letters, ornamental In
the extreme, and showing great deal
Of neatness. The labor OF preparing
the exhibit has been one of love on
the part Of the teachers, but has been
Of great practical advantage to the
pupils. They entered into II with en-
thusiasm and derived wonderful bene
ats from their exertions TO produce
superior specimens.
There is a collection of pencil
maps OF Oregon, from the third grade
OF the East school, that would do
credit to adults-indeed, but few
adults could draw the map Of the
United States anywhere nearly So
good.

The Christian church is somewhat
different from all ohtcr religious de-
nominations, and should not be con-
fused with the organization commonly
known as the Christian church. which
is rightfullyi the Church of Christ. 1t
differs mainly from other denomina-
tons In that 1t has no theology which
is distinctive of the church. 1t makes
christian character the test of fellow
ship, and has for one of it's cardinal
principles mo dictation concerning
scriptural interpretation
Unusual enthusiasm marked the
opening session. Reports Of the state
work were given by Rev. Geo. Milne,
who said that the changed condition OF
things demand a change In religious
policy of the denomination. He Claim
ed that no mother would want her
daughter to marry minister on ac-
count Of his probable financial condi-
ton. Reports were received from the
four local conferences, given by the
various presidents. Rev. w. p. Stock.
ley delivered an annual address, adj
claimed the necessity of new methods
in church affairs. The initial steps to
form the western convention, which is
new organization for the Christians,
were taken. Representatives from
Kansas and Nlinos endorsed the new
movement.
Rev. A. Nj. Kerr, of Ohio, preached
in the evening, on serving our own
day and generation. The church and
the world are much the same today.
not because the church is full of
wordIiness, so much as because the
world is full of churchliness, and the
church should have been growing into
fuller, deeper life.
