01 ronuioion are on a par 01 excellence
with everything else, and a now $J0,000
brick building, besldos a number of lino
churches, bespeak a cultured and God
fearing community. It has a good Fire
Department, excellent water works, elec
tric light, a new opera house, and, in
fact, is thoroughly motroA)lltan. One of
tho great and most creditable ornaments
of the thriving town is the handsome
building of tho Hast Okihionian, erected
at a cost of $L'1,000. This journal, under
very able management, has scored a phe
nominal success, and tho handsome new
building forms a lining mouumen: to tho
well-directed talents of Its lucky owners.
Its columns are invariably newsy anil
bright, as well an resplendent with all de
sirable information of this district. A
now plant, with $,"),000 worth of ma
chinery, lias just been added to keep up
with tho procession. Not a had showing
for a town of 4,000 inhabitants.
All branches of tho regular arteries of
trado aro thoioughly icpresented, and
two staunch ample banks furnish ample
financial resources to keep up tho healthy
population of thu samu. The l'endleton
National Hank, capital $,ri0,000 .occupies a
magnificent block in thu heart of the city,
ami with such muii as Messrs. It. Sar
gent and Iichtuaii Ilium, onuof thu most
successful business men of Veudletoii, at
tho helm, Is adding handsome llgures to
tho right side of the ledger. Tho First
National Hank, capital $76,000, is 0110 of
tho strongest banks in the Statu, whoso
cashier, Mr. Sam I. Sturgis, Is noted for
a most correct judgment in 'all matters
ertaitilng to thu welfare of tho bank or
town. Tho municipal government Is
likewise very creditable and presided
over by Mr. W. F. Matlock, the present
very jiopularMayor.
The improvements of last year aggre
gated over 100,000 and w ill far exceed
that sum before thu end of 1H8H. Among
this year's items will bo two new hotels,

There seems to bo an atmosphere of
push and activity surrounding Pendleton
which must form a powerful magnet for
thoso looking for a nuw and favorable

Allvo as was tho city yostorday with
the enthusiasm of patriotism, Its pulses
keetiini: naco to thu lieatim: of thu drums
and Its soul soaring with tho (lights of
martial music, (Here was one mjkji wiiiiiu
its boundaries where jierfect ipiiot was
sought, and, if It was not wholly found us
to outward things becaiiho of tho passing
tumult of men at arms and liecaiiho of
the voices of cheering multitudes, some
thing very near to it was attained within
the lovoreut spirits of thoso who were
gathered there. This was tho modest
ouaker incotiuif house in Rutherford
place, where Ihu Yearly Meutlng hud Its
mid-week hitting for worship.
Thoro was no boll to ring them to ser
lcu. No liell over lias been employed to
remind the memlMirs of thu society that
the hour of devotion has come. They
hold simply that sincerity in religion will
prompt men and women to diligence
and punctuality in this duly without any
extraneous aids. Toward half past ten
o'clock iicoplo witli tho light of spiritual

Isaac Wilson, of Canada, who looks
like General O. O. Unwind, was the tlrst
and most lenglhy speaker yesterday. Ho
started out with C'hrlM's words, "He of
good cheer, for 1 have overeimiu thu
world." Thu Idea prevailed largely In tho
Christian world, he said, that tho fact of
Jusiis having overcome the conditions of
this llfo makes It comparatively easy for
thoso who bellovo this, and who also l
lievo that ho lived and died, to assure
themselves of thu enjoyment of their
Father's klndgoiu. T'heru might not Imj
so much dltl'erencu In the uiulcrstuiiiling
of various sects upon thin point as In their
manlier of expressing it. What ho had
galhoieil In his own oxorleneo was not
that Jesus merely overcame thu world for
our sakes and that wo have no overcom
ing to accomplish for ourselves, lint that
Jesus has shown us tho way by which wo
may overcome tho evils of litis life, and
may at last enjoy tho rewards which ho
has reserved for us in our Father'H man
sion. Wo havo all as much to overcome
as Jesus had. Them is no trial so great
ami no struggle so suvero but God will
enable us to meet It. It Is a co-oernt!vo
work Is'tuecn us and liim, just as it was
lsitweon JesiiH and him. God permits us
to lnim niHin His bosom. 11H Ho permitted
1 Ills only begotten Son to do In hlshoiirof
I anguish and deathly sorrow. Jesus, with
I all Ills petfection as thu typo of a spirit
ual conipioror, did not overcome the
wliolu world. It is not our particular
I mission to overcome all the evil there Is
l In tho world, yet wo may certainly sub
due that which Ih in our own hoiiIs until
our lives shall rolled thu purity and iih.

Serena Milium, of Canada, sjKike very
elispii'iilly, but unfortunately, bur voice
was so low lhat only a few of her sen
teiiccH could Is) caught by tho general
audience. Hotli she and tho concluding
seakor, Margaretla Walton, of Phila
delphia, weie rendered less intelligible
by the almost constant Intrusion of mar
tial iioIm'h from tho sheet. Then camo
most forcibly the thought of tho strango
contrast between this absorlietl anil
IH'aceful assembly, over which, despite
tho gay bits of head gear that were scat
tered hero and there, tlieio was an at
mosphere of deep and benignant solem
nity, and the marching batallons and
shouting multitudes without who were
celebrating the sanguinary glories and
tho lasting sorrows of war.
Margaretta Walton prayed In an affect
ing manner, tho while her voice trembled
with strong emotion, Then a little after
twelve o'clock Anion Sutton turned lo
ids nelghlsir and shook hands. The sig
nal passed down along tho long ranges of
seats, and tho meeting was over, T he
rest was a confused hubbub of social
greetings and conversation In the lobbies
and aisles and under tho iorch, as tho
good (sioplo pasred In couples and groups
down Into tho refectory under tho meet
