Tliuro should be Home rii-finitc movumont liiiitic; toward M-eurinK tho trutle and nrodmv of the farmurs of the Tualatin Valloy in much lrrtiater volume than now obtains. It would seem like a irood plan for a number of our buBinosH men to visit the Valley in a bodv and make an earnest ondoavor to induce the ranchers in that locality to make St. Johns Ihtiir diHtributmir center. With the splendid new free fi rry mak- lmr throu trins hourly across the rivor thero can be no uood reason for pormittinir the bulk of the woat nide busineH to find its way to Portland. St. .JohnK is tho logical trading point and the farmors shold be made to realize Ibid. A trip thither could do no harm and it is more than prol abl would be productive of much irood. The business men of Portland find it trreatly to then advailtatre to make incursions into the interior points at inter vals, and there appears to be no reason why tho business men of St. Johns should not be just as alort. It is worthy of a trial at least. Christian Rally Day That thoy are doinjr things at tho Christian church on Now York stroot is evident from the manuur of tho irrowth of tho building in which thoy meet. bovon years iiro the church was organized with about 2i memb ers, and met for a time in Hick nor hall. This mccliiiK place was so incongruous, thoy soon decided to own their own building. Thoy purchased the lot where tho church now meets and put up a little tabernacle. This served thorn until about a year, when tho rapid growth of their Sun day school compelled them to enlarge tho house. Three rooms wore added and some of tin momborshii) thought it would do until tho church could put up a permanent structure. There wero a fow whose faith in the workers was stronger and wbo predicted that the mom would not uo enough to last them more than a year or two, Tho result has verified thei jhdgmont. Thoy are not yet aiiio, thoy think, to unricrtalu tho ?7,000 or $8,000 building tlu j contemplate erecting but tin fi . l ii a i annuay hciiooi uas made such a phunomeiial growth that it ha buon found nccetttMiry to enlarge tho iHiihling again.

There has boon a steady, vigorous growth front the start, until it is now one of the strongest for its ago in Portland. It has never ruoolvuu a dolmr from the mis sion board, but has been self sustaining since its organization and line nt nil times contributed lluurwlly to Mil other ciiMiinels of church activities, Tho iiilmuIh ship of tho church is very grate ful to tho oil liens of St. Johns for their liberal mtronge of the diiloront oittortMinnionts and other functions givon by tho various urtuiulies of the church, which hut very matorinlly nidod in tho finances.
