Other attractive numbers were a
reading by Mrs. John Dill and solos
by Mrs. Henry Terry Elmore and
Mrs. Allan McGee. An interesting
and instructive address was made by
Miss Dewitt, a worker from the in
dustrial center of Portland. She told
something of the work done there
among twenty different nationalities.
Superintendent H. ]. Van Fossen
gave very interesting talk on the
Areal convention held at Seattle, and
something of the work and needs of
the district. Another beautiful musi-

danes Anguin, Weren, McGee, Misses
Engle, Young and Anderson.
The Sunday school orchestra

eral delightful selections, and after
the devotional exercises by Rev, Ed

Yeo and E. Minuth sang a beautiful
selection. By request Mrs. Heinie
and Mrs. Saito repeated the charming
sketch they gave in the afternoon,
and as an encore Mrs. Heinie read a
touching poem, The Service Flag.
The leading event of the evening was
the stereopticon lecture, "The Chal-
lenge of Africa" by Rev. G. A. Ed
wards. The Methodist church has
procured about thirty pictures of
Africa which are being devoted to
illustrate lectures on the conditions
of the Dark Continent, and bring to
tie missionary workers at home the
urgent needs of their services among
the people there Mr. Edwards talk
was inspiring and given IN the happy
strain in which he addresses his audi
ences, made a particularly strong i'm
preston.
Today the convention offers many
pleasing numbers during the various
sessions.
