Yesterday iu certainly a. day of
blessing to the Presbyterians of this
city. The new church was filled at
both the morning and evening services;
and was well attended in the forenoon
when communion of the Lord's supper
was held and a sermon was delivered
by Rey. W. S. Holt, D. Dv prominent
in the denomination of this state.
A choir of 12 voices sang at both ser
vices, and produced a profound and
favorable impression on the large con
gregations.' The choir was under the
leadership of Miss Reba Hobson, -and
Miss, Cleo Kelly presided at the organ.
Sopranos were Miss Hobson, Miss Ut
zinger, Mrs.H. Prael, Miss Bessie Ro,ss
Miss Bess Reed; altdB,' Miss. Margaret
Busey, Miss Lois Carnahan; tenors,
Messrs. J. T. Ross, James Carnahan!
i, Messrs. 'watkins, ' Carnahan
and Professor Eyre. In the morning
Miss Hobson sang "Come .Unto Me,"
from Handel's masterpiece,. "Messiah."
In the evening her solo was "My Re
deemer and My Lord," by Dudley
Buck. There were no services at the
Methodist and 'Baptist churches in the
evening, ,the congregations and their
istors attending the new church in a
body. Besides the sermon by the re
tiring pastor, Rev. Henry Marcotte,
short addresses were delivered by Dr.
Hoit, Rev. W. S. Grim, of the Metho
dist church, and Rev. L. J. Turnbull,
of the Baptist church.
Dr. Holt spoke of the struggles of
the early church in this country; how,
in 1846, Rev. Lewis Thompson built the
little ohurch on the plains and labored
there with a faithful few, and In 1877,
assisted by another sainted missionary,
organized the church in this city a
church that was destined to grow and
flourish until It reached a point where
it was able to erect a sanctuary of
worship worty of any city on the coast
Mr. Grim drew a striking analogy
between the temple of worship and the
temple of the heart, bullded for eternal
things, and which Is required of those
who seek for the higher life,'
In introducing Mr. Trumbull to the
congregation, Mr. ' Marcotte spoke of
the seven, harmonious years they had
passed together, and how on many oc
casions they had spoken from the same
at form. Mr. Trumbull responded
neas as may lawfully come before the

feelingly and at times with a touch of
humor, He dwelt particularly upon the
marks being left by him who had been
his colleague for so many years. First
was the good Impression left with all
those with whom he came In contact;
the many uplifted and others strength
ened. And then the beautiful new
church .'. j . i
"In years to come,,' said the speaker'
strangers will see the edifice and ask
when and by whom it was erected. The
reply will be that it was erected during
pastorate of Mr. Marcotte, or it
may be Dr. Marcotte, now pastor of
the first church of Portland or San
Francisco. He came with a wealth of
education and a recruit in the work;
he goes with broader education and a J
veteran." . ; . . .",; "
Mr. Marcotte'i address was in the
nature of a review of his work in the
cltyvand the circumstances attending
the building of the church. The build
ing committee, composed of Messrs;
Wm. Bon J. T. Ross, D. M. Stuart,
C. It. Hhjglns. John Bryce and Dr.
Alfred Kinney coma in for much cor
dial comment. The pastor's address
closed with an appeal to the congrega
tion for fundi t meet the financial
obligations Incurred by building the
church. In the morning the sum of
S2JM.6S wu provided for by cash and
subscriptions and in the evening this
was materially increased. There Is
reason to ' believe ' that the entire
amount, 14691. 5S will be provided for
before the departure of Mr. Marcotte
for Portland, which will be the latter
part of this week. -
Now that the midwinter circus is
