P acific C hristian M essenger . “OO TE, THEREFORE, TEACH ALL NATION8.” «( VOL. IX. » k MONMOUTH, OREGON ; FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1879. , 1 NO. 25* J 4ut — F&olflo C hristian M essenger , Devoted to the cause of Primitive Christi anity, and the diffusion of general in­ formation. Price Per Year, in Advance, All business letters should be addressed to T. F. Campbell, Editor, or Mary Stump, Publisher, Monmouth, Oregon. Advertisers will find this one of the best mediums on the Pacific Coast for making their business known. Mary Stump is at the helm here, in the M essenger office, and does her work well. Some of us believe that Mary’s dream, is of a literary career in the future, connected with some first class periodical of her own found­ ing. This is guess work merely, be­ cause Mary don’t dream “ out loud ’’ much; butsuch.a dream is not un­ likely of fulfillment. A friend of hbrs, who is usually a pretty good obser­ ver, says he thinks “ Mary is a trifle sobered by the encroachments of business and time.” This may be true, but to those who know her best, the is much like the girj who, in the session of 1871-2, used to march de­ murely almost ta the door at the dis­ missal of school, and then go down the hall with a skip and a laugh. An encomium upon Mary Stump would at this time, and in this community, be commonplace. Her everyday life arid work are here with you, and are their own best commentary. Bruce Wolverton bears the banner of the Cross bravely in the front of the conflict. He is at present »located at McMinnville, where he is doing an acceptable work as pastor of the Christian church. Bruce is per­ severing and studious in his calling now, as he was at school, and, withal, he is ever ready to grasp one of the old boys by the hand, and talk of col-, lege incidents. Charles E. Wolverton has filled several positions ef honor arid trust at Albany, where he lives, and doubt­ less will be called many a time again to serve the public. It has often been said of him, “ he knows the law,” which among members of the bar is considered a high compliment He deserves it. Charlie got married last summer, and I take this occasion to ask his pardon for the very indiffer­ ent, but well meant serenade, I helped to perpetrate upon him and his bride, here in Monmouth, soon after the wedding. William D. Fenton is another of the nine lawyers of our number, and practices in La Fayette. Most of the gd.i--people of Yamhill county, and many of the bad ones, go to his firm when they feel the toils of the law tightening upon them, Billy is on one side of nearly eveiy case in the courts there, and he wears laurels won at the bar of our highest tri­ bunals. ing his time. However, with all his attention to these lighter accomplish, ments, he has not forgotten to make himself a first class lawyer, and is now rising rapidly and honorably in his profession at Eugene. *• Right learned is ye Pedagogue, Full apt to reade and spelle, And eke to teache ye partes of speeche.’’ And strappe ye urchiona welle.” If last reports are correct, this is true of W.
