this afternoon from the meeting nnd
Is delighted at the progress niudo, and
with the able manner In whlrh groat
problems before the body were dis
cussed nnd disposed of.
The meeting represented all the
Congregational churches In thu United
States, and dealt wholly wlin tin
questions of foreign missions.
The resolution which ilnally pre
vailed on the "tainted money" iHsue.
was to the effect that the board would
not refuse any donation which might
be voluntarily mude for use In foreign
missionary work, but that no mem
ber of the board should solicit funds
from any man whose wealth may
have boon accumulated inrough meth
ods v Men are socially Injurious. This
is sweplng In Its meaning and burs
all f'inds from men whoso methods
are "t 'stlonable and whose practices
crush tue life out of humanity while
accumulating vast fortunes for Indi
viduals. If such money comes to the
missionary board voluntarily, well and
good, but no such funds will be so
licited.
About 400 delegates were In attend
ance, one train load from Boston com
ing direct to Seattle without change.

. entirely Inadequate to accommo
date the crowds. Every Jurisdiction

The report of Grand Sire Wright
shows the total subordinate lodge

"The Increase In membership In our
subordinate lodges was 65,724; In the
encampment branch, 9990; In the Re.
bekah branch, 26.391. making a total
Increase of 102,105. The patriarch
militant will show a decrease In mem
bership, but that decrease Is only
nominal and doubtless results from a
clearing out of names that would not
be representative of that branch. The
Increase In receipts for the year was
1761,077. The Increase In resources
was 32.974.961. nnd the Incrense In

"The militant branch alone in our
organizations fulls of a substantial In

membership during the year of a lit
tle over 800. This condition of affairs,
In my Judgment, demands Immediate
attention and perhaps radical meas

Put Ipon the Market Intention la
to Erect One of tlie Finest Church
Buildings of Any Faith, in tlie In
land Empire.
When the plans of the Methodist
church people of this city are carried
cut, Pendleton will shortl,- have one
of the finest religious buildings In the
inland empire. These plans as now
formuiuted are fur the erection of n
(20,000 stone church at the nortleust
corner of Webb and Johnson streets,
and It Is said that the movement to
wards the building of the church will
be commenced at once, though con
struction work will probably not be
gin until spring.
At a meeting of the trustees of the
Thompson street churcn held yester
day afternoon, a trade was agreed
upon between thut body and the own
ers of the building site, and it Is said
that unless something unforseen
should arise the deal will De consum
mated at once.
The site ut the comer of Webb and
Johnson streets is 150x1110 feet, and
there are now two large houses on.
the ground, at least one of which wllk
huve to be rerfcoved. The price agreed
upon for the land is I7r.no.
This afternoon Rev. Robert War
ner, pastor of the Thompson street
church, stated thut it was it he Inten
tion of the church people to erect a
handsome stone church on the above
site, the estimated cost of which L
$20,000. According to Mr. Warner, H
is desired to erect such a building a."
will be a credit to the church and to
the city. He believes that at present
the church buildings are far behind
when compared 'with the school and
other large buildings here, and It Is
desired to bring the religious archi
tecture up to the stundard to which it
Is entitled.
Some time ago the trustees of the
church purchased the property at Ihe
corner of Main and Water street
with the Intention of some day eject
ing a church building there, and this
property Is still owned by the church
However. It has since been decided
that the ground Is not sufficiently
large for the kind of a building thit
Is desired, and aa a result the proper
ty on Main street will be placed on
the market. Also, It Is suld thut tho
site of the present church will be of
fered for sale when the new building
shall be finished.
For some time the trustees of tho
church have been searching for a -iiit-nblc
site on which they could erec a
riw building commensurate with their
present needs. This they have now
found, and unless some -jbsticle
should arise to Interfere with the
trade, the same will be concluded at
once.
