"To him that hath (and uses it) more shall be given." After the services Mr. D. C. Lalourette made a brief financial statement. The improvements on the church cost in round figures fil-DO. There had been donated 1400 in work, $1300 in cash, foOO by the Indies Aid Society and there wss aliout (300 in unpaid pledges. Besides the immediate itnprovemrnts there was an indebtedness uf about f 500 already on the church, making $1100 which ought to be raised tl, on to dedicate the church free of debt . Dr. Grant then male an earnest ap peal to the people to raise the money, and when the taking of subscriptions was over there was $1,135 pledged and a basket collection taken which netted $22 more. Dr. Grant was then asked to re turn thanks to God for his goodness, which he did in the most heart-touching and soul inspiring prayer it has ever been t lie privilege of the writer lo hear. At the afternoon citizen's meeting there were stirring addresses made by the Revs. Sykes, Montgomery and Cowan of this city and Rugg of Sulein, short congratulatory bv Revs Teal. Sims, and Holcroftof Portland. At 6 P. M. there was a rousing Union Young People's meeting. A. S. Dresser presi dent of the city union being the leader and Miss Ana Baird presiding at the organ. The house was full of bright, earnest young people, and in some re spects this was the best meeting of the day. At7:30P M. Rev. M L. Rugg, of Salem, preached an eloquent and sound sermon from Eph. 4:11, 12 and 13, on "Development of Christian Character and the Unity of the Faith." How de-j nominutal unity will be brought about "Not bv giving up or teceeding from any truth we may have got hold of, hut by clinging faithfully to all the truth we have, and honestly, with unpiejudiced minds, striving to get all tite moie truth we may be able to attain." After the sermon Hon. W, C. Johnson, L. L. D. gave a brief history of the church. Mr. Johnson's father, Rev. Hesekiah Johnson and Rev. Ezra Fisher came overland in 1845, with wagons and were seven months on the way, arriving here on December 7th of that year On July 4, 1847, seven people organized the first Baptist church, and a little later built the first Baptist meeting house in Oregon (this building still stands on the corner of Main and Thirteenth Btreets) Deacon Hatch, a member of the Congregational church gave tlie use of b'S house to the Baptists on that oc cassion, so the unity and friendship ex isting at this day between these two churches of our city, is only the con tinuance of a feeling which had its origin at the birth of the Baptist church. The first pastors of the church were in part supiwted by the Home Missionary society. They were Eiders Johnson, Fisher, Chandler and JaB. Read. After a time the little church became too small for the growing society so it was sold and the property at present occupied was purchased and tho house which the present one displaces was built. It waB dedicated on Sept. 3, 1871. Rev. E. Fisher preaching the dedicatory sermon. There was raised on that oc cassion $2,057. Since then there has been a steady, gradual erowth. The pastors since have been: Revs. J. T. Huff, J. A. Worth, J. II. Teste, J. C. Rem, C. C. RaUman ml Oilman I'arker, Every one of which the church ha parted with, with a foel lnu of regret. Rey.

All day Thursday it sounded like musketry in the woods; limbs breaking and trees tailing blocking roads with small trees. It did consider able damage to the old apple trees. Some it upset, others it split all the limbs off and left them mere stumps. In some orchards nearly every tree waa injured. In spite of the bad weather our literary had a good attendance on Saturday even ing and a general good time. The ques tion discussed, "Resolved, That the Free Coinage of Stiver Would be a Benefit to the United States," was decided in favor of the affirmative. It was well fought on both sides and caused considerable amusement.

Are You Interested in Electricity At last we are to Lave an electrical magazine. The science of electricity has developed so rapidly that the publishers of Electric Power have decided to change their journal into the form of a monthly magazine after January 1st, 1895. This is an important move and will give the public the opportunity of keeping abreast of the times in matters electrical. They have already secured for the coming year a number of the best known writers in electrical literature and propose to be in the tront rank on all points connected with electricity. There are numerous trade paper, and journals devoted to electricity , but as yet no one has bad the courage to publish a magazine de voted to that science, and Electric Power will have the field to itaelf, and undoubt edly is making a wise move. The sub scription price will remain the same, $2. 00 per year, 20 cents per copy. The November issue is devoted to the papers, reports and general news of the Street Railway Convention m Atlanta, and contains quite a number of excellent portraits.
