DISTRICT {. |. CONVENTION
Proceedings of An Interesting Meet
ing of Christian Workers.

The eighteenth annual session of the
Oakland District Epworth League'Con-
vention was held at the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, Mountain Lake Park,
June 21-25, 1909. Rev. J. B. Work
man, district president, ably presided.
The key note of the convention was
obedience Brings Power for Service. :"
The report of the President showed
some growth in the district, but room
for greater work. The great need
throughout most Of the District is con-
secrated leaders.
The program committee had planned
to have the laymen take the principal
part in the convention. but 50 many of
them were absent, so the chairman
drafted the preachers as substitutes,
thereby carving out the full program
with but two exceptions. Too many of
our Epworth Leagues depend too much
upon the preachers and so fail to deyel-
op leadership among themselves.
Rev. K. b Ward. D. D., added much
to the convention by his presence and
the able addresses which he made.
1t is to be very much regretted that
several of the pastors and delegates
had to leave before the exercises by
the Junior Leagues OF Oakland and
Mountain Lake They were one of the
most interesting, instructive and in
spring parts of the program. How we
wish that all of our charges had such
leaders and teachers as Oakland and
Mountain Lake However. we believe
that these exercises will inspire others
to take up the work.
The convention was highly favored
with music by the ladies quartette of
Mountain Lake Chapter and Professor
Hills of National fame
The climax of all of the exercises of
the convention was the matchlesS lee
ture by Rev. A. J. Hiatt, D. D.. of
MoundsviIle, W. Va, on The Unique
Galilean.
The lecture was unique from every
point of view, and will linger long in
the memory of all who heard 1t. 1t
will not only help US to love and adore
the Galilean better, but will make US
think more of our fellow men.
The closing sermon was delivered bv
Rev. Nicolo di Stephano, superintendent
Of the Italian Mission Of the Oakland
district. He emphasized the work of
the Holy Spirit by relating several
thrilling incidents of his own expert
ence.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, H. V.
Leighton, Mountain Lake Park: LIST vice
president, j. c. Federer, Newburg, W.
/ Va; End vice president, John w. Davis.
Oakland; Bird vice president, Miss Ida

president, Charles Calls, Hoyes; Secre-
tary, A. NJ Crabtree, Aurora, w. Va.

GLORIOUS CELEBRATION
independence Day Observed Here
Last Monday A Tremendous Crowd
Monday was the biggest day in the
history of Oakland from the viewpoint
of the number of strangers in town,
their splendid conduct and general
demeanor. The crowd present was
variously estimated at from four to six
thousand people They came by the
wagon load and train load from all
points of the compass; thev came to
have a good time and we reckon they
had 'er. " 1t was sober, well behav-
ed, intelligent crowd Of folks such as
any town would be glad to entertain
and Oakland did herself proud upon the
I occasion to make the visit of such num-
bers pleasant If they want to return
they have a standing invitation, indivi-
dually and collectively They may come
any day and they will find the people of
7 Oakland ready to receive and entertain
