If Christ did establish a Church, has that Church had an letter that Bro. G. M.

He writes us ('hurch ?” We answer : 1. Christ prepared the material from his bed that his feet were on for his one Church while on earth, his pillow where his head ought to and ten days after his ascension to be. We hope he will soon “ be on Heaven, he established it through foot ” again. his inspired Apostles on the day of Pentecost. 2. In one.sense it has an “ unbro ken existence ” to the present time, because Daniel says it shall never be destroyed, and Christ says the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 3.

We have a letter from him which we will print next week. When we see so many open doors for the pure gospel of Christ, we should all l>ecome more liberal and zealous in sustaining our missions and missionaries. The church at Portland has called Bro. F. M.

Rains is an earnest, able and suc cessful young preacher.- He was a college class-mate of ours, and a special friend, and is one of our con tributors to the H erald . Whether or not he will be able to accept the call we have not learned. Should he come to Portland we predict he will do a good work in building up the church in that city.
