ing last night proved to be an affair

president of the new Astorta-Seaside-
Tillamook Railway, by Mr. H. G.
Van Dusen, its secretary, and by Mr.
Buffum, one of the active incorpo
rators. The details given by these three
gentlemen showed that two corpora
tions are being formed, one which
will hold the surveys and right-of-way
which will be composed entire
ly of local citizens and which will
have a ten thousand dollar capital;
and another which will be the As-toria-Seaside-Tillamook

which will receive the right-of-way

At the First Baptist Church last
Sunday the Rev. Conrad L. Owen,
to whom the church recently extend
ed a call for an indefinite period,
preached the Mowing sermon deal
ing with the call and his acceptance:
The call to become your pastor for
an indefinite time tbrought to me a
feeling of pleasure coupled with
sense of unmeasured responsibility. .
Our first vear has been In some
respects, indeed, a trial year. I hav
but little to say in defense of candi-
dating preachers and trial calls, but
I feel that it was well for us to spend
one year together, becoming thor
oughly acquainted before the church
extended to me an indefinite call.
This year has not given the best op
portunities for growth. For about
three months I was absent from the
field, and during that time the money
panic came with its demoralizing and
discouraging effects. These condi
tions together with others that have
attended the work during the year
have'made it a time of testing rather
than of prosperity. That this year
has been one of struggles is perhapt
the greatest blessing God could have
given us. It has brought us an ex-

. . . .. -nm;nr vear Under adversities the
and construct the electric line pro
posed, then the subsidiary company
will continue to hold the franchise
and right of way until the line is suc
cessfully financed and constructed.
In this way the local people are tak
ing no chances whatever because the
proposed line is one of the best elec
tric propositions in the Northwest
and can be easily financed in any one
of the score of different places.
At the conclusion of the explana
tory remarks concerning the electric
line the Chamber went on record as
endorsing the Astoria-Seaside-Tilla-
mok Railway Co. and pledging it
most hearty moral support and other
wise. President Evans was then
elected a member of the Chamber of
Commerce by acclamation. .
Chairman F. J. Taylor of the judic-
ary committee of the Chamber made
a report on the proposed promotion
bill, which in effect stated that he be
lieved the measure to be equitable,
whereupon a motion was made and
duly carried instructing the secretary
to communicate with the various
commercial bodies throughout the
state and the various members of
the next Legislature, asking their
opinion of the proposed measure, and
in a word instructing the secretary
further to do all he could towards
putting this tentative bill in shape to
be acted upon by the coming session
of the Legislature.
A communication was read from
Chairman J. N. Teal of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce committee to
Samuel Elmore of this city asking
that he do what he could towards
raising a $250 subscription in Astoria
to be turned over to the Rivers &
Harbors Congress, Congressman
Ramsdcll of Louisiana, president.
Mr. Elmore was upon motion ap
pointed chairman of a committee of
three to see what could be done to
wards raising this subscription and
was authorized to appoint two other
members of the Chamber of Com
merce as he might see fit to serve
with him in this work. '
Secretary Whyte stated in all lik
lihood the oil and gas proposition
would be financed and able: to take
care of itself within a very short
time, when he would then be free to
give all of his time to the electric
tailway enterprise. A number of
other .matters were considered in the
meeting, most of which were touched
upon in the secretary's report.
coming years. Under adversities the
church has taken the forward step of
increasing the pastor's salary and
laying out larger plans" for the ensu
ing year. While this has been a test
ing year, it has not by any meant
been fruitless. The close of the year
finds os with an increased member
ship and a depened spiritual life. A
man who is not a member of our
church said to me the other day: "I
like to attend the Baptist Church,
you make me feel at home.1
v After a thorough review of the past
year, and . with "i conviction that the
Holy Spirit is leading I do here, with
deep affection, record my acceptance
of your call. I do so without ques
tioning that you will give me your
co-operation in the work of the
church. For many years I have had
an ideal of what a church ought to
be. I shall seek your hearty co
operation in attaining that ideal in
our own beloved church. My convic
tion is that worship should be char
acterized not so much.by its form as
by its spirit, which, like the founder
of Christianity, seeks not to be
served, but to serve; to live and love
and scatter sunshine. I believe not
in a communistic law, but in the
spontaneous communion of kindred
spirits in thought, service and sacri
fice for the uplifting and beautifying
of the human family. Let this spirit
and purpose go abroad from our
church and it will gather into our fel
lowship men and women whose lives
have been touched by the beautiful,
regenerating power of God's spirit,
and quickened into a kindred feeling
and purposes with our own. Thus
we will be strengthened in our effort
to dispel doubt and evil and bring
into our midst the millenium of joy.
In conclusion, let us not be afraid
to talk about our progress. "Say not
thou, what is the cause that the for
mer days were better than these? for
thou dost not enquire wisely concern
ing this." But say, in the words but
not in the spirit of the wicked men.
described by Isaiah: "Tomorrow shall
be as this day, and much more
abundant." In all that we do let us
remember that our help is in God.
