Topeka. Kas., oct, 1.-THE next
annual meeting Of the national con-
%vention of Christian churches viii be
held at Portland, Ore, in october,
1911. Portland won by a large ma
iority today over Boston.
r.. A. Long of Kansas city smoothed
over the discussions occasioned by his
offer Of $4,000 of stock in the
Christian Publishing company of ST.
Louis, by formally offering the stock
to the church and requesting that no
decision be made at present. The Diff
ficulty arose over the fact that the
church is not an Incorporated body
and cannot hold property.
Action on the Philput resolution,
providing for a control organization,
was postponed until next year. The
report was ordered printed in official
church papers thirty days before the
next convention.
Contrary to advance understanding
and for the sake of harmony, Peter
Ainslie of Baltimore, president of the
American Christian Missionary So
ciety, did not call for credentials to-
day, but told the delegates to take
them home as souvenirs. Next year
there will be a committee on creden-
tails and the credentials will be called
for.
Rev. II. d. Smith of H~opkinsville,
Ky, was elected president of the
American Christian Missionary So
ciety. This practically makes him
head of the convention neX year, as
his is recognized as the dominant
society of the church.

Philadelphia.-An interested crowd
the other afternoon watched the de-
struction of one Of Philadelphia's old
landmarks on Twelfth street above
Chestnut, the gigantic elm tree which
has for years shaded the yard of the
Friends meeting house, and which has
a pedigree second to none In Philadel-
phia. The old elm was branch of
the famous Penn treaty elm In Ken
sington, under which William Penn
made his treaty with the Indians.
Two other large trees which have
been grown from the Penn treaty elm
are at the Pennsylvania hospital and
Swarthmore college. The old tree on
Twelfth street was planted In 1872,
when the surrounding neighborhood
bore truly rural aspect. 1t was for
many years remarkable for its mag.
nificent foliage, but since the erection
of the adjacent high buildings II
ceased to thrive, and recently showed
marks of decay.
