The speaker re rerred to the wonderful amount of wealth now being used In the work of Jesus Christ , The great work of Jesus was not the performance ol miraclec, but bis chief mlsn'oii was to bring man back to Ood. For did not ''Clod so love ill j world thet he gave his only begotten sou, that whosoever U lleved on blm should be saved''?

Iu cuiicluelou you.- committee beg to report that owing to the rush to com plete the building for tlie time of these dedicatory services, that we are uua bl to make a complete report now, as there will be some small bills not re ported and yet unpaid, and there are some s.nall amounts yet unpaid on the subscription Hut, but we promise to complete tills rep' rt when our work 'Is finished, and the few small matter yet unfinished on Mr Roney's contract will be completed as soon as weatbei and time will permit. All of which is most respectfully submitted by your committee. T. U. Hen mucks, Cbalrmau, V. A. Wood, Secretary, J. D Matlock, Building Com ittee.

Tbe erection of tbe new building bat been due argely to tbe enthusiasm which be bas kindled lu the bearts of tbe mem bership. REV J V UPDIKE. The following sketch of tbe distin guished evanglut Is taken from tht Christian Church Bulletin: J V Updike was bom and reared In Ohio, wbere be now resides. He waa converted at the age of 17, commenced preaching at 18 and bat been at It evtr since. Most of tbe last 28 yean baa been given to evangelistlo work. Mr Updike bat held rat etlngt In 34 states of tbe Union. He bat held tbe greatest meetings ever held In tbe church of Christ. Wherever he goes great crowds throng to hear blm aud be bas teen many thousands cone to Christ. At a preacher he Is plain, pointed and practical. He lutes all shamt and pretenses aud rebukes them, no matter where they may be found. He fean God, bates sin, loves tbe Bible and the touls of men. Hit loyalty to the Christ and His word Is the open secret of bis power. DESCRIPTION. Fjr .he main pDiuUof tlie technical description of I he building the Gdard Is Indebted to the architect, Col Delot D Neer, bis aid having been of ma terial b neflt In enabling us to give the same in so clear a form : During the first part of the month of June this year the building committee of tbe board of trustees, First Christian church of Eugene, considered plant and specifications for a proposed new church building. From a large num ber of plant that were presented to them for tbelr consideration, tbe one presentid by Colonel Delot D Neer, an architect of Portland, Or, Impressed them as being the most complete and best adapted for tbelr use, the appoint ments telrifr practically without fault. On the 10, h day or June, 1807, the older wis glv.n to A'ohltect Neer to proceed at once to complete bit draw ings, d.luib and specification! so that estimates might be taken without delay, to the end that tbe building might be pushed to completion before tbe holidays. L N Roney being tbe lowest bidder was awarded tbt contract to erect tbe building. On account or tome unioreseen de lays the contract wa not signed until August, from whloh time, with tome little delays (which occur in tbe erec tion of all bul'diiigs ol Importance) the new church building sprung Into existence, and now stands a monu ment to his skill as a master builder and a credit to the architect under whose supervision the worz was done. Tbe stylo of tbe building Is a com bination of Ilomaneqii una uoinio and so closely are the Uo styhtap piled In the design that the general outline Is one ot almost er.eci mr mony and can very truly l termed American archlteciure pure ami simple The g ouml pluii nvc- i" I'd m . . r r .. r ...

Under the Sunday school room or chapel It not excavated. Tbe basement walls are built of stone and only rise to top of ground, except under tower, which It built up to Art floor, laid up In the manner known at broken Ashler, pitch -faced work. In this stone work It ft tbe corner-stone, upon which Is carved proper memorial int :rlpliona. On the street corner It located tbe tower, which rises from tha ground it flnlale 80 feet In height. An absence of tbe stereotyped high tharp spirals here noted, and It It restful Indeed, as It gives out the Impre tlon of ttrengtli and peicelulncss, In other words, pleasing to tbe eye without onleutution. The tower roof finishes with large pinnacle representing a cr ss aud crown. Tbe four oornert are broken out a d finish with pinnacles tur mounted with fin Is Is. Tbe upper story Is used for a belfry; the base or first floor lormt tht prln clple vestibule entrance to the audi torlum. Access to this entrance Is gained by way of an arcade, built In the front of tbe building, the floor of w hich la reached by meant of wide, coty itepi from the sidewalk. In tbe vestibule It located the stair case, by whloh a spacious gallery It reached, which bas a seating capacity of 100 or more persona. Tblt staircase Aintinu ut from the galleiy floor to b llry. The auditoilum Is a very Urge room, Laving a sealing capacity of 400 easily. The ceiling of this room Is 20 feet 6 Inches high, with deep curved angles. Tbe floor Is raised and seated In circular form, faoiug the corner of the room, wblch bat a large bow window In whlcb la located tbe chuli loft and pulpit raised 2 feet 8 Inches and 8 feet above tbe floors. Tbe position of tbe pulpit ia tuch that when tbe large folding Coon between auditorium and Sunday school room are thrown open the pastor bas full view ol all hit llt'enera. The Sunday school room bas a seat ing capacity of from 2'0 to 800. Tblt room hat celling! 18 feet high, with aogiee finished tame at auditorium. From thlt room and from rear of auditorium runt another spacious vestibule entrance opening onto tide street, thus making Ingress and egress ofsufflcleut capacity to easily empty the several rooms without oiowding or danger. In tbe rear of the Bunday school room It located a large room that can be used at a kitchen or ttudy. Or en lug into tblt room and up a flight ol steps Is a private passage leading to the choir loft and pulpit. Located on this passage are two. rooms to be used for gentlemen aud lad lee, initial 1 vet for baptism. There it also from tblt passage a private door leading into tbe bsptlmal pool by asy steps. The pool being located at tbe right of the pulpit and choir, and in the corner of auditorium, Is to tituated that by raising two large doors bung with weights the entire occupancy of tht building can witnett the beautiful service of baptUm. The wood work of Interior, except pulpit, choir loft aud balcony Is selected yellow fir that, excepted cedar, all finished In its natural color. Tbe plastering la finish ad lu what la known as fresco finish, being left in tbe rough eand under the float. One of the principal beautlae of tbli complete temple of worship It tbe art memorial glass, which to be appre ciated must be teen. It It a fact worthy of note that tbe good people engaged in tblt work, after having sutworlbed all and more than they felt able to stand, when they taw what could be accomplished by tbe expenditure of more money, came cheerfully forward and con tributed to tbe end that tblt building now his 13 beautiful memorial win dows, and have alto contributed to tbe enrichment of the other glass, which wtt a part of tbe contract, uatll very few cburobee are possessed of a more pleasiug glass effect Tbe heating and ventilating of tbe building baa received especial atten tion at tbe bands of the architect, who says without proper beating and venti lating, any publio building It a failure. Tbe heating It done with a large wood burning apparatus, located so at to get tbe best results at to length and else of heating and cnld-alr pipes. The breathe lustead of air that bas Ihcii brcat had jivcrjuid ver again until polsoued asjd"unflt7lo breathe. All tblt be expects to overcome with this system tod to ui It seeme practical. Tht exterior of tbe building is painted white, the roof metallic, w hich gives a very pleasing effect. There is little, if anything, mnro to be tald, except to offer our congratula tlont and admiration to those whose energy and push hat given to our fair city tuch a beautiful and enduring monument dedicated to divine worship ttnblematlo of love aud devotion to the Great Father of ua all. THE Bl'ILDINO COMMITTEE. The duties Imposed upon a building committee appointed by an organiza tion are arduous In tlie extreme, and require good business ability, tact and Judgment, coupled with capaoily for a large amount of work. The church baa, tinct tbe appointment waa male had occasion many timet to congratu late itself on the wisdom of their selec tion.

We are lorattd at 521 South Olive street, opposite the city park. Loe Angeles has never been too highly pokuu of by tlie press and by those pimoimlly Interested In the growth and Improvement of tlie city. All commercial pursuits are well repre seuted aud admirably conducted. The centtis of the city is now In roaod numbers 103,0 0. Immense blcks of brick and stone stand as lasting monu ments of the wealth and prosperity of an ever activo and progressive people. Early this morning, In company with Mr and Mrs Chambers, we boarded an electric car and lauded on the delightful beach at Santa Monica. Ou our way we passed extensive fields being made ready for wheat and corn, tho latter product growing at luxuriouxlv as it does on IlllnoU or Iowa soil. Over 10,000 tourists are a banker, a merchant and an attorney respectively. T. O. UE.MDKICK4. To tht chairman, IIouT II lieu- drckt Is du-. the credit more tlisu any one else of the flnnncial aslstauee necessary to erect tbe building, his first pledge being $1000 with the pro viso that tbe church should be dedicat ed free from debt Thomas G Hendricks was born In Henderson county, Illi nois, June 17, 1838, crossed the plains to Oregon lu 1848, Joined the Christian church In 18C0 and waa one of the chrter members of tho First Christian church of Eugene, and the only char ter member now residing In Eugene.

At the ex predion "winter," I laughed, but soon recovered myself aud found my self considerably oil, as the almanao and calendar pointed very distinctly to the twelfth month I t the J ear, although victors were in tbe surf bathing and enjoylug a tropical day In Southern California. Persons visiting the Paclfio coast In the winter seasou and returning east ward make a graud mistake in not seeing Southern California on their re turn trip. To visit or past through thlt portion of California is sure to create desire for a rtturn, especially In tho winter seasou. To look at the grounds surrounding tlie residence of (Senator Jones, situated ou the broad avenue at Santa Monica Is ccrtuitily a treat seldom enjoyed anywhere on the Paoitlo coast. Stately palm trees line the walks on either side of the residence, while ovr tho spacious grounds aie planted nearly all tropical plants and shrubs, together with (lowers too numerous to mention, all of which are In bloom and sending forth a rich fragrance to gladden the passcr-by. Our next trip will be to tbe summit of Mouut Lowe aud Ye-Alplne tavern, where Is situated the great observatory and the 8,000,000 caudle power search light, made famous at the world's fair. This light will light up tbe entire dis tance between Mount Lowe and the Paclfio ocean. When we have dined at Ve-Alplue tavern, WOO feet above sea level, and have fully rested from our dizzy climb by cable and electricity we will again speak of what we have seen If the tiring doet not break and land us on tbe other aide of Camp Creek.
