LIBRARY FOR M. E. S. S. Presented By Amos D. Hyland as a Christmas Gift. Some time ago a gentlemen tran siently in Corvallis, observed, while at service, that there appeared to be no Sunday school library in the M. E. Church of this city. -Later, this gentleman wrote a letter of in quiry to his sister, Mr. Dinges, of Corvallis. As a result of the cor respondence which followed a Christmas present of 144 volumes of well-selected books was forward ed to the M.E. Sunday school here. The donor was Amos D. Hyland, a former wealthy resident of Lane County, but who recently died in Oakland, California. The hrst is sue of these books to attendants of the school was made last Sabbath, and it was with evident pleasure that the literature was given out and received. Superintendent Waiters is es pecially gratified with the gift, and as an evidence of his appreciation, presented to the school for reception of the books a handsome ash case which was made in the best style of Sheasgreen & Buxton's work manship. Mr. Hyland was richly blessed with spiritual endowments as well as with the thiugs of earth, and it was his desire to do that which would reflect the glory of the Fath er. Among the acts which he per formed in pursuance of this idea was to give to a number of Sabbath schools of the state the nucleus of a library, and the plan and purpose was an admirable one.
