Yesterday morning and evening the Methodist and Congregational churches joined in worshipping in the Congrega tional church. Good audiences were present both morning and evening and listened to able sermons by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Curtis. The morning text was from Isaiah, "Hearken Ye That Seek the Lord." The bible in many places calls to hearken and consider and this was a particular class called upon to listen. In speaking of blessings in disguise, Mr. Curtis used the illustra tion of a man confined in a dungeon into which came only a few rays of light through a small crevice. This was his only comfort. One day, hearing work men as if repairing the wall and shut ting out the ray of light, he cried out "Spare my crevice,"' but it was men come to open the prison and let in the full light of day. The application was made to people who often are affrighted and fear they shall lose their small light and with it everything, when the threatened change is only t let in a greater and richer blessing. The ser mon was an able one and listened to ap preciatively by the audience. The text for the evening was from Matt, is : 21, "For she said if I may but tonch his garment, I ehall be whole."

Every garment of Christ connects with him and in drawing near to the Savior a kind word, a good deed, even a smile, a song, the word of a friend might be the garment that would lead to Christ. He then cautioned his hearers that be ing in a crowd would not touch Christ. There must be a reaching out after him. One of the features of the evening eervice was the bass solo by Mr. Eugene C. Price. Mr. Price's voice is well known to the people of The Dalles, and his singing last night showed it had lost none of its richness of former years. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. C. G.
