Sneak thieves are at work around the
churches. A silk umbrella was stolen
from the Congregatianal church last eve
ning during service. A man who would
lo as mean a thing as that would
steal the pennies from off his dead
mothers eyes, and kick the corpse be
cause they were ' not quarters. The
wretch should have the umbrella shoved
down his throat and opened.' There is
no hopes of recovering the stolen article
for the place the thief is to go is so hot that
the umbrella will burn up.

a large .harvest of cereals was never better
and with reasonable facilities for trans

' Yesterday..
' CONGBBQATIONAL CRUBCH.
Depite the fact that the pastor was
suffering from a severe sore ' throat he
preached two eloquent sermons yester
day to fair sized audiences. Mr. Curtis
took for his morning discourse the words
found in James I, verse 27, "Pure Relig
ion and Undented." The speaker said
if we asked a man his idea of first rale
farming the answer would be as various
as were the ideas of the men asked.
Over 300 years ago rules for different
kinds of farming were published and
since that time books and magazines
and papers devoted to farming have
sprung into existence. The man that
does not believe in book farming rubs up
against the man that does and obtains
and makes use of bis ideas, and so the
world progresses. .
If we asked what was pure religion we
would be answered in as many different
ways. There are many, great precipns
facts of religion that have been freighted
with peace and joy. As with the farmer
it ia the fruits that tell the truth of right,
methods. "By their fruits ye shall
know -them. -The prophet' tolls us
that " the head of our. relision is -. a
"Father." - The world has been slow to
accept that conception, but when it does
take that' human word it seems to come
into a closer relation to the deity. One
drop of God's mercy comes down and
sweetens the life of the worst of us.
Human weakness and dispalr is often
God's opportunity to bring men to him.
In the evening Mr. Curtis preached on
the life and lessons of Washington, and
made his address a patriotic one. It
was an excellent sermon but we have
not the space for a synopsis. ...
AT THI BAITIST CHT8CH.
The Rev. Mr. Cowden, Missionary off
the Christian churches of Oregon and
w ashmgton held service at the Baptist
church of this city yesterdav. The
talented preacher ' took both morning
and evening themes from 1st . and 2nd
l . c . .
uuuprers oi isi neorews. The evening
service was a continuation of the morn
ing discourse, and both were very inter
esting. Mr Cowden is a ' forcible
speaker and those who listened to him
were much ' taken with the charms of
his manners and his eloquence. It was
his intention to have remained for a few
days and held services at this place, but
as he did not desire to interfere with the
meetings now under way at the M. E
church, he postponed his work here
until some future time.' . -'. :
. . . ; .1 , ,.AT THE M. aV CIICUCH. '.,', ., f '
Rev. Mr. Craven, of Clark M. E
t-hurch, JVoith Portland, occupied the
pulpit in the morning, making the story
of the rich man and Lazarus the basis of
an interesting and profitable discourse
. The evangelist , Rev Connolly, preached
a fprcible. sermon-hi th'e-evening, taking
tor his text the words Of Pilate: "What
shall we do with Jesus?"
Thirty were received on probation dur

Mr. John Filloon, of this city has
shown the Chhoniclk some very hand
some specimens of slate and coal which
were brought in by Mr. A. C. Sanford
from Rowe creek about twelve miles
from the Fossil section. The slate is
exceedingly handsome and has the
marks of leaves and ferns stamped all
over it. In the lot is some quartz that
bears strong indications of lead and
silver, which should be developed. The
coal is of an excellent quality and has
undoubted value. We hope that Mr.
Sanford will follow up the discoveries
that he has made.
