FROM BISHOP MORRIS.
To the mmlcrs of the Episco
pal church in John Day valley.
My Dear Friends: I have ar
ranged with the Rev. Mr. Ooss to
make periodical visits to Canyon
City, lV.ii.-ie City. Dayville, and
other points in John Day
valley, as often as once in three,
months, and 1 trust you will give
him a cordial reception and ren
der him every possible aid and
encouragement in carrying out
his plan of services and visita
tions. With this, I believe much can
be done to keep alive our work,
gather in the scattered sheep and'
comfort and edifv all our mem
beis. Mr. (Joss wiil be ; ul to consid
erable expense in mnking these
visits, and it will be r.ecessnry to
provide fully for them.
I think 'there should be the
sum of fifty dollars at the least,
raised for each of these visits,
which will do little more than
defray the real cost. With sys
tematic co:.Li! utions all along
collected monthly say this can
easily h done, and L recommend
that such a plan be adapted at
once so that there shall ho no
failure when the visits are made.
The deficiency of the previous
visits was over fifty dollars a
heavy drain upon my missionary
fun. is. which I cannot afford to
repeat.
I hope the people in all the
places will give ready and con
stant attendance at Mr. (.Joss'
services, and I pray Cod that His
blessing may attend all the ef
forts made for their spiritual
good. Very Truly Yours,
B. Wi'stkk Mourns.
