of the four big tents of tho exposition.
Tho Hlngling tent was 180 feet wide
and 900 feet long. Tho largest of tho
Spokano tents is 100 feet wide nnd i)50

other large tents, wooden building for

Fortieth . nnlversary.
Continued from yetterday.
In 1SG7 an adaition was put on the
front of the building; on the northeast
corner was a tower in which a large SCO
pound bell was placed. This addition
was built by volunteer work. I well
remember Mr. Zlek Dounell saying
that his stock were fattening on the
bunch grass and be cou'.d put in time

Mr. Condon was a very popular man 1
and minister; bis labor was a witness of j
it. At the close of bis ministry in ttie t
Eummer of 1673, the church loll num
bered ninety-seven members, or com
municants. On his retirement Rev.
W. R. Butcher, of Albany, accepted a
call to fill the vacmt pulpit, and began
his ministry in the early autumn of the
same year. He was a great favorite of
the church and people; was a fine vocal
ist and a lover of music; was nearly
always whistling when out walking, and
from that had tho sobriquet of the
"whistling preacher." During hi
ministry the church forged ahead as
usual in additions to the church roll.
Tho forepart of June, 1S7G, he tendered
his resignation, to take effect on the first
of the next month, (July). On the
Sabbath before his departure for his old
home in Illinois, he preached his fare
well sermon from the Oth chapter of
Ephesians, 13th verse, to a very large
congregation. j
The church was without a pastor, from .
Mr. Butcher's departure until the sum-.
mer of 1877, w hen a Rev. J. W. Harris, t
of Evansviile, Wis,, was called to till the ;
vacancy. He arrived in June and began ,
his ministerial work at once. He was n
winning man, nnd, as the time drew
near for his closing ministry, evidences
of his great wortli were more and more
apparent. Leaving his family iu the
E.iet, as he did, persuasion was of noj
avail. In after years ho accepted a call
to the Albany church and remained its
pastor seven years. On his resignation
lie accepted a call to the Salem church,
and was its faithful pastor for nearly
two years. Owing to bis failing health
he closed his ministerial labors and
died, lamented by all those to whom he
iiad ministered.
After the retirement of Mr. Harris the
chuich took active measures to have the
pulpit occupied, as soon as circumstances
would permit, by a permanent pastor.
Rev. D. B. Gray, of the Albany church,
Has given a call and accepted it, giving
great pleasure to the church. During
the interims of vacancies, Rev. Dr.
Atkinson, general missionary, supplied
the pulpit most of the time. It is pleas
ant to know that the Albany church has
given us the cream of the miuistry of
Oregon, ha vlmt furnished us with
four Rev. 1). V. Poling being the last.
Iu the early fall of 1678 Mr. Gray,
with his family, came to us and com-
