The Christian Evangelist of Nov. 15, says: “Bro. Campbell is only beginning his work as pastor of the church in Springfield, but he has already grown into the confidence and affection of the brethren. We take it all back. Last week we stated that Bro. Morrison would attend the meeting at Eugene; but we finally persuaded him to re main with us. Those good brethren can blame us with it all if they wish. We are indebted' to Bro. F. M. Green, of Cincinnati, Ohio, for a copy of the report of the second an nual-meeting of the general Chris tian Sunday-school Association, held at Island Park, Ind., Aug. 1G- ‘ 18, 1883. We have received from the Cor responding Secretary of the State | Board the report of the Christian to change his address from .Colfax to Garfield, W. T , adds : “ We are among a host of live brethren in Eden Valley. The cause of Christ is on the upward march in this part of the world.” Such news from distant friends we repeat with pleas ure to the H erald readers and we hope the work for Christ may con tinue and increase in the valleys of Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory. As our associate editor is com paratively a stranger to many of our readers on this coast, we take pleasure in quoting the following paragraph. from our esteemed brethren of the Christian Evangel ist : “ H. T. Morrison, recently of Waupun, Wisconsin, is located at Eugene City, Oregon, and has be come associate editor of the Chris tian Herald. Bro. Morrison is well known to us, is a good and true man, and our Oregon brethren will always find his voice and pen, and what is better still, his life, on the side of righteousness. We de voutly hope that he and his faith ful helpmeet may find a pleasant home and a useful field of labor in the Sunset Land.” We have ac cepted Bro. Morrison, not so much on what others have said of him as on his real worth among us. We have tried him and know what he is ¿apable of doing. for consolation ? Death comes up still into our windowsystealing away the young children, and many a ser- varitof the LorcTcould repeat as His ’" own, these words written by one who pleaded for the gospel in a distant land: “Yesterday I con ducted funeral services for a young mother .who was giving to the tomb her first born, an innocent babe of a few months. To-day I was re quested by parents, strangers in the ; temd; to help. them givesttp-a lavely ■ - - child of three summers. Two weeks . ago they buried one younger; and less than three months past they lost one a few months older. It was enough to melt a heart of stone to hear that young mother call in tones of anguish inexpressibly sad, my baby f Oh, my baby ’’ I returned with the heart broken parents to their desolate home, where fhe sweet prattle of babes was hushed forever. Both father and mother broke completely down as they entered the lonely house, crying “No hope I no hope ’ all are dead 11 Then lifting up their voices they wept as only the desolate can weep. My own heart breaks in sadness and I cannot sleep, for the whole world seems in anguish, weeping for the children that were and are not.” 1 Í i The Catholic Sentinel of last week says: “ Our readers know that the Christian Herald has been our opponent for some weeks past in a controversy to which we gave some attention in our columns. Among other points the Herald denied the fact that the Catholic Church was the oldest organization in Christendom. In addition to what we have said in reply to his monstrous assertions, we will sub join another passage from a minis ter of the lieraid's owi church.” Now if the editor of the Sentinel will put his finger on the paragraph t ■ » ß® ■ A - ‘r ’ -
