great table was lifted and the long line OF
cleaning silver communion vessels made
spectacle never to be forgotten. The
churches OF the different denominations of
this city sent in silver plates and chatices,
and the cleaning array that night on this
platform was overwhelming. God hasten

we shall sit down together. consecrated
men from Oregon forest and Maine lumber

chalices shall be filed with the new wine of
