AID FOR DALLAS COLLEGE
General Conference viii Be Asked to
Increase Endowment.

DR.. G. c. Polling. presiding elder of
the United Evangelical Church. and
the Reverend A. A. Winter, president
of Dallas College,swill leave Thursday
for Canton, Ohio. where they will at
tend the General Conference of the
church as delegates from the Oregon
Conference.
DR.. Polling says the coming session
of the General Conference promises to
be one of the most important ever held
by the church. In addition to the cleo
ton of Bishops, all of whose terms
of office will expire this year, the pro-
posed consolidation of the United
Evangelical Church and the Evangeli-
cal Association will be finally discussed
and will be brought to vote.
The affairs of Dallas College will
also be considered by the General Com
ference at this session and it is ex-
pected that the Oregon school will be
given valuable assistance in a financial
way. Money aid for Dallas College
from the conference was conditioned
upon the school raising $25,000 of the
endowment fund on the Pacific Coast
AS This amount has been raised by the
college officials, the conference will
now be asked to come forward with
the promised support.
Both DIR. Polling and President Win
ter will visit relatives in Pensylva-
mia after the adjournment of confer
ence, and they expect to return to Dali
las late in October.
