Earliest known mention of designation: Christian Convention. "This last week I've visited the Saints at Canby, Aurora, Needy, Mountaindale and Thatcher. They are all longing for Conv. and most of them are trying to get out to stay as long as possible...You can get reduced fares from R.R. there. Tell the Agent you are going to Christian Convention and ask for a Certificate with your ticket to prove you are going to attend the Conv. and this one being presented to Agent here when you go home will allow you to return for 25 cts. Give your Agent there my name as Secretary of the Conv. if he asks you for it. Let the others know about it who intend to come. We are getting the work well done here now, only making beds, etc." - Jamieson, Wm Letter #1 pp 3-4

Page 1 of Willie Jamieson (August 1, 1911) Letter to Henry & Cordia White of Scappoose, Oregon, written from Scotland, telling about Wm Irvine preaching in the Scotland Conv. "This is my first time of writing you since landing in this Country...because time was scarce. Conv. has kept us very busy for the last month back but now it is over again and we will have a little more time for correspondence etc. It was the best Conv. ever held on this side and all seemed to profit by it. There were very large crowds all the time. WM IRVINE, as usual, did the most of the preaching, and I never heard him better. There was plenty evidence of God speaking to our hearts and showing us the need of having His power working in us and through us."
