the church in Southern Idaho.
The South Idaho State convention

er-Sunday feature OF the convention
is a new step for the churches Of
Idaho, and will be a rich feast for
the Payette church, for It viii hold

University Place church of Des Moin-
es, Iowa. and ]. H. Morhorter of st.

There is a possibility Of securing al
so the presence of Herbert /. Willet,
