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.
