BISHOP MOORE BIDS FAREWELL TO METHODISTS OF NORTHWEST Bound for New Field, He Writes Touching Message to Members of Church in District He Supervised for Four Tears. (A N THE3 cars, June 3, 1903," David J H. Moore, for four years resident bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Portland, wrote a touching farewell to Pacific Northwest Methodists, he hav ing been transferred from this field to Cincinnati by the general conference. The bishop's good-bye words were sent to the Pacific Christian Advocate and were published in that paper last week. Bishop Moore gives expression to profound feelings of regret at leaving Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho, the special interests of which he has for four years been supervising. That he will never forget or lose in terest in this field, he asserts, and de clares he will ever champion the cause of Northwest Methodism. He com mends the church for its activity, but calls attention to the danger of losing frround by indifference, and calls upon the membership to respond to the great demands for spreading the gospel in this region. Bishop Moore's farewell message In full follows: ' . Beloved: It is not easy to say good-bye to the Northwest Pacific Conferences, over which as resident bishop I have had loving care for the past four years, whether officially in charge of them or absent on distant service. The same authority which assigned me to Portland and equally without any sug gestion on my part, has now designated T T t k :.' 1 - ' ; 1 S. ""-"lrti iV Tli l ' i it in fin iliiMna I Binhop David II.

Institu tions, needs and possibilities are mapped about my heart. I am not conscious of having omitted any duty toward them which was In my power to render though sincerely sorry that I had not power to render fuller and better service and. wherever I can, it shall be my prayerful purpose to be their friend and ally. Four farewell words In briefest para graphs: The basis of the church's prosperity is the personal piety of Its members. All the power of the gospel is circuited through this. Prove me now herewith is the Lord's challenge. With His spirit In us, difficulties yield ana victory is assured. This is vitally related to every interest Piety quickened, liberality, wisdom, en terprise and zeal follow. Seek first this kingdom. No sacrifices are too great which will free our church property of debt. Let every member and friend of Methodism take this to heart. - Some most important properties are this moment in Jeopardy. We must not lose them. Like unto this is our need to be alert to meet every expansion of city and country with the appliances of the gospel. What has been done for our educational institutions should encourage us to do more. Were they not deeded for any other reason, their influence upon the state Institutions make their support by the church imperative. We cannot, we dare not neglect our youth. Willamette, Puget Sound and Montana Wesleyan are enough of their class for years to come. Concentrate upon them. Equip and en dow them. Send them students. Pray for them, and help them. Tour noble efforts in its behalf have saved the Pacific Advocate. Let this quadrennium see it reach the goal of self support. Pour In subscribers. Irrigate it with news from the churches. Hold up the hands of Its- editor. His Ideals are high. Help him make your paer the peer of the best. It will unify, Inspire and lead our Pacific hosts. The place you hold in the mind of the church is shown by the character of the great man sent by the general conference to reside in your midst. Bishop Smith will quickly grasp the situation and will abundantly meet every reasonable de mand and expectation. Wise in counsel, prompt and prudent in administration, able in exposition and defense of the truth, he is at once man and master, a true and kind-hearted brother and a calm and indomitable leader. Upon him and you all may God's rich est blessing rest. GERMANY BUYS PIGEONS Takes Over Carrier-Doves Sold by English Admiralty. LONDON. June 20. (Special.)
