with a fair attendance. There evi-

ing as to the time of the holding of
the convention, some of the ladies
stating that they had received no no.
tification. Plenty of confirmation that
due notice had been given was fur"
nished and the fact that the program
and date Of the convention had been
published in the Maine Deaconness, the
official organ of the societies, would
seem to indicate that the fault lay
with the individual societies rather
than with the officials. The conven-
ton made up In enthusiasm what 1t
lacked In numbers and business was
reeled off in good business fashion.
Evidently the convention was III
charge Of capable hands.
Devotional exercises led by Miss
Edith S. Smith were followed by the
reading Of the records and "Harves,
Sheaves." garnered by the district cor
responding secretaries. Mrs. Blanche
Wright, Augusta district, and Mrs.
Prescott Taylor of the Portland dis
trict. These gave an interesting ae-
count of the work accomplished AMI
data regarding membership, financial
standing, number of meetings and the
course of study pursued by the va
rious auxiliaries.
Pledges Received
Pledges were received by Mrs. C. G.
Davenport for the coming year for the
Training school scholarship, the AIMEE
Mitchell, Aiken Fair and Mothers
Jewels Homes and for the Italian work
In the State.
The report of the Maine Deaconness
by Miss Clara Meserve showed that
the year had been one Of steady prog
ress, financially. A list OF the auxii-
iaries doing efficient work was given
out and the report closed with a fer
vent appeal for stronger work in Sc
curing new subscriptions. A beauti-
full flag was presented by Miss Kalo,
the gift Of John Fisher Of New York,
to the South Portland auxiliary for
having secured the most subscriptions
for the Maine Deaconness and was re-
ceived by Mrs. Fisher, in behalf of the
society.

from Trip to Norway.
Langdon, N. D., July 25.-Carl and
Tom Amoth have returned from a
very pleasant three months STAY in
Norway. They found the whole land
doing their utmost to heartily well
come home their sons and daughters
from America. Not only the big cities
but the entire country held a feast in
honor of the moved-out Norway, who
returned this year for the big cele-
bration. After an absence of twenty
six years they found the welfare of
the country to have taken great
strides forward. The big waterfalls
have been harnessed. furnishing cleo
trio lights and power throughout the
land to farm population as we'll as
towns. The utilizing Of the water
power has caused large industries to
spring up which furnish work for
thousands Of people, and this in turn
has raised the prices vf the farm pro-
ducts. The farms. although small.
compared to what we are accustomed
to, are very carefully farmed, bring
ing the largest yields possible. The
country presents a very thrifty ap-
pearance throughout. all buildings.
orchards. etc, being kept exceedingly
neat. The populace are clad in mod
ern clothes, have plenty to eat and
money to spend. A high wage is paid
the %laboring men for their work COM
pared to twenty-six years back. The
country is covered with a. network Of
railroads, which bring country and
cities nearer together. aiding travel
and transportation of products.
