Washington. d. c., December l5-
As predicted yesterday, the passage of

Importance TO the South, to be aban-
doned until next session, unless Con-

OF bill OF this kind. calling for an

just after the passage OF the pension
bill, and they propose to do all they
can 70 prevent the enactment of such

regardless of the pension bill. To-day
MI. Underwood said:

the Sherwood pension bill, ought TO
hesitate long time before making

BAPTIST CONVENTION
HERE NEXT WEEK,
Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho Baptist Convention,
October 2 to q.

The east Washington and north
Idaho Baptist convention is to meet
in annual session at the local Bap-
fist church in Pullman next week,
Oct. 20
The first two sessions, covering
Monday night and Tuesday morning,
are distinctly a ministers conference
for the pastors of the field.
The convention proper begins with
the Tuesday afternoon meeting and
continues until Friday noon, with ses-
sions every morning, afternoon and
evening. The morning sessions be-
gin at o'clock, the afternoon sessions
at o'clock and the evening meetings
at 1890.
1t is exceedingly important that
every Baptist of Pullman attend
every session. Naturally a great deal
of the program for the day sessions
will be of peculiar interest only to
Baptists Some features, however, of
most of the sessions will be valuable
to workers of any denomination. The
evening sessions have been planned
with this in mind of being of the
greatest inspirational interest to all
Christian workers. Every one should
attend the evening meetings, any
way. There will be two or three
speakers each evening, including DR..
McLauren of Walla Walla and DR.. J.
w. Kramer of Spokane. But on all
three evenings-Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday, DR.. w. B. Hinson of
the Portland White Temple will
preach. This is my estimate, and if
you hear him | am sure you will
agree with me, that in any set of
preachers DR.. Hinson is easily the
peer and prince of them all
