THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION.

The meeting Of the Inland Empire
Sunday School association in this
city, which came to a successful close
Friday evening, was an event of more
than passing interest and import
ance.
The first thing worthy of note is
the fact that there were more than
125 men and women from all por-
tions of that great section of coun-
try known as the Inland Empire in
attendance upon it's sessions. 1t
means much to any community to
have such a gathering of men and
women of high ideals and moral pur-
pose come into it's midst, even for a
few days. Their contribution to the
community's wealth did not consist
merely of the amount spent in dol
this not insignificant sum, we must
add the moral quickening and intel
lectual uplift which will be felt for
all time to come
Then, too, we should not fail to ap-
preciate the fact that in the person
of Mrs Mary Foster Bryner and Mr..
E. c. Knapp, we have had in our cit
two of the most noted specialists IN
their line in the land. Mrs. Bryner
is regarded as the best woman spec
ialist in the Sunday school field:
there is no phase of the work on
which she is not posted nor on which
she can not speak entertainingly,
though her special line of work and
study has. been the work of the pri-
mary department Mrs. Bryner IS
one of the secretaries working con-
tinuously in the employ of the in
ternational committee, and has at
tended conventions in every state in
the union and every territory except
Alaska Mr. Knapp is graduate
from Ann Harbor and one of the most
charming speakers heard on
local platform in many days. He is
holding a professorship in the Con-
gregational seminary at Chicago, be-
sides being superintendent of one Of
the largest Sunday schools of that
city His versatility is no less re
markable than that of Mrs. Bryner,
as was evidenced by the number and
diversity of topics considered during
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-05-16

knowledge that, in some parts of the
commonwealth, farms are wearing
out owing to the impoverishment of
the soil by agricultural methods that
are destructive The firm belief that
there are counties which possess an
over-abundance of soil elements lack
ing elsewhere could not in the past
be substantiated owing to the in
sufficiency of appropriations for the
needed surveys.
The Conservation congress has pic
tured the possibilities. Washington
should know its resources. New ones
will be discovered through scientific
investigation. Old ones will be re-
discovered through proper inquiry, and
both will be guarded and conserved
through new ideas and improved
methods 1t lie the tendency of the
times and there is no doubt that such
examinations carry with them the
potentialities of unbounded wealth too

nection with the Conservation con-
gress that is to be lamented and that
is the poor attendance at some of the
sessions The public did not seem to
grasp the real significance of the con-
vention to Walla Walla and avail it
self of the opportunity of hearing
some of the most vital questions Of
our future growth discussed by men
who have devoted years of study to
the conservation of our resources.
The trend of public opinion is how
ever, turning in the right direction,
and Walla Walla may have learned
lessons during the past week that will
be potent factors in the future devef-
,, opment of this section of the state.
Washington is just beginning to
know and appreciate the magnitude
of her resources and is taking In
ventory of the vast mineral deposits
that have been. pocketed up in the
mountains or wasted through extrav-
agant methods of mining, and the
waters that nave been running away
for years, wasted so far as their If
rigating and manufacturing powers
are concerned.
The pioneer may have utilized them
for milling purposes. In all likelihood
old gazetters mentioned IAN abund-
ance of water power as an attractive
feature of more than one locality.
But newer methods made people for
get the old for the time. Now, under
changed conditions of life there is a
practical re-discovery of resources, as
not alone Washington but other states
also begin to take inventory of the
stock on hand
The address of State Geologist
Landes recalls the desired activity in
connection with the soil surveys of
eastern Washington. But few people
| indeed, know the worth of land in
this state.
! The popular conception Of fertile
fields goes along with the definite

MS soJourn; although he delivered as
nigh as five lectures in one day TO
the same people, they did not seem
to tire of listening to him. Besides a
remarkable knowledge of the psy-
| Geological phenomena underlying the
most successful Sunday school work,
especially the boy problem" ne is
possessed of a magnetic personality
and ready wit which hold his audi
ences SPELL bound He also yields
the anecdote at suspicious seasons
with such degree of cleverness as to
dispel the least suggestion of wear
| mess. The city is certainly both ben
efited and bettered by having such
specialists as these come into it's
bounds
Though the Sunday school is only
little more than a hundred years
old, it has come to occupy a most i'm
portant- place in the moral training of
the young; and, since in our country
there is an absolute separation be-
tween church and state which pre-
vents the teaching of distinctly re-
ligious truth in the public schools and
the home life has so materially
changed as to have eliminated much
of the religious instruction that was
formerly given there, the Sunday
school occupies an exceedingly re-
sponsible position, both in it's rela-
ton to the church, in training the
child mind in the fundamental prin-
ciples of religion, and to the state, In
impregnating the impressionable
minds of the young with the practical
moral truths so essential to good
citizenship. The institution which mas
laid upon it such a tremendously re-
every right thinking man and woman
who has the good of the rising gen
Grafton at heart is interested And
it is gratifying to see that this in
stitution is trying to keep pace with
the times by raising it's standards and
improving it's facilities for effective
work; but it is more gratifying still
that a number of Americas most
noted men and women are among the
number who are giving their best
time and thought to the work of ex-
tending these improvements.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO BE
COMMENDED.

The publicity committee of the
Commercial club are to be commended
for the way in which they have treat
ed the large number of guests that
have been within our gates during
the week just closed. While the ma
jOrity Of these people live within the
bounds of either the Inland Empire OF
the state, there was no mistake made
in manifesting the interest of the
community in them and endeavoring
to interest them in the affairs and
resources of the city and county.
While other sections may have their
own peculiar advantages and attrac-
tions, there is no section of the great
state of Washington which combines
so many of these in its own bounds
as does this beautiful city and the
valley in which it is built.
Then, too, there is one fact that has
been held out to all of these visitors,
viz. that Walla Walla has that which
none of the other cities or counties of
the state can boast. a strong, we'll
equipped, thoroughly manned private
institution of higher learning, des
tined to do great things for the flu
ture of the whole of this Northwest.
And it were we'll that in all that was
done to interest the visitors in our
city, the college was kept well to the
fore as one of it's proudest possessions
and greatest attractions. The COM
munity is to be congratulated on hav-
ing at the head of the publicity work
of the Commercial club a committee
composed of men who are so broad
minded as to endeavor to subserve the
moral as we'll as the material inter-
ests of the city by giving the same
consideration to the Inland Empire
Sunday School association as to the
Washington Conservation convention.
