of seven or eight hundred

rjuite well attended, Iu the
eveuing tue Christian and
Methodist churches joined in
union servioes with the Presby

eloquent sermon by Rev. Edwin
B. Hays, the new pastor ol the
Presbyterian church. A very
pleasing feature of this service
was a beautiful contralto solo
by Mrs. J R. Forrest rendered
in her own inimitable manner.

Yesterday closed the first
year of Rev J." C. Walker's
work as pastor of the Methodut
hurceta of La Grande and
Island Cily. Tonight he leaves
for Hailey, Idaho, to attend the
anuuul conference, where tlie
appointments will he made for
the ensuing year. While it is
cm. not be positively (old what
a:tion the conference will take
iu the mutter, it is generuilv
understood and it is the desire
of his congregation that Rev.
Walker be returned.
Under his pastorate the
church has made rapid strides,
in every department. The
building of the handsome new
parsonage which is almost com
pleted and over wnieli there
banes no indebtedness, is al
most entirely the result of his
eneygy and to his financial
ability. During the past three
venrs the chuccli has been en
tirely freed flora long standing
indebtedness and the member
ship and congregations greatly
increased, For many years the
location was thought lo place
the church at. a disudvaii'ug
but lime has proved the wisdom
of the oiiginal locators
had nn eye to the future.
