REV. M LKAN GRATEFUL.
Portland, Ore., Aug. 1(1, I'JOi.
I cannot, owing to the pressure of
duties incident to my near departure
to my new field of lalior, write to
all the kind friends iu lietlmnv
church who remembered that Mrs.
McLean and I had been 25 years on
the journey of our married life. We
feel deeply their kindness, because it
assures us that there are churches
where the relations between pastor
and iieople are not merely official.
That we have retained the affec tion
of our old time friends of Bethauv
Church, even after forming new re
lations, is a large grain of comfort
and cheer that we will carry with us
through life. Wo take, therefore,
this opportunity to thank our friends
of Bethany Church for the silver re
membrance and the golden affection.
Very truly yours,
Robert McLean.

pany lias purchased about 1X) acres of
laud surrounding the site of their
immediate oismtions, which, when
cleared, will be transformed into an
immense lake to be used for booming
timber. The harnessing of this water
is but the introduction of an enter
prise which has for its purpose the
utilization of Oregon's vast amount of
timber. The present generation will
