meets every four years. La Grande
frequently has sent both lay land min
isterial delegates to this body of men
and women, and when the-quadrennial
convenes at Saratoga Springs in May,
Ija Grande is again to be represented.

Paul's Chapel, one of the churches of
the immensely wealthy Trinity Cor
poration of New York City, hanged
himself in the steeple the other day.
The arrow shows the window at which
he was found. This chapel is fumpus
not only for its nge it being the
oldest church in New York City
but there part of the ceremonies for
the first inaguiation of George Wash
ington were held. The church is in

tion and has been a landmark for
more than one hundred years.

It is not n pleasure jaunt; it is real
business. A body of Christian men in
real earnest for the redemption of
the world. Christian enthusiasm will
run high at times, and tears will flow
down the faces of these men and wo
men as they listen to the victories.
Hartzell Pathetic ngure.
' Bishop Hartzell after twenty years
in Africa, returned about three
months airo. ho had not seen fcis wife
and children for many months. He
had planned upon retiring "to build a
home and spend a few years. Scarcely
had he reached New York when a tele
gram announced tfre death of his
wife. At her grave ho received another
message to come at once, his son 40
vpnrs nf ntrn a minister, was dying. He
scarcely reached him, when he passed
awHv. Since then a sister has been
taken. I fancy when the name of
Bishop Hartzell is called there; will be
few dry eyes, and some one will silirt
an old fashioned hymn, and voice
after voice will take it up, and while
the tears will flow we will realize
that heroes are still livimr and Bishop
Hartzell will soon heJar the call to the
church triumphant.
