In a speech offered in defence of Spen-
Ger at New Tacoma, yesterday, Mr.. Sen
ter cOmplimented Pierce county by say

left for the jury. II the 0ffense had oc-
CURED in King county and the man had
been guilty, he would have been punish

The Methodist Episcopal Church il
growing up with the country" In the
Puget Sound District, presidsd over by
Elder Atwood, five churches are to be
built within the year ensuing. One ut
Centerville, In Chehalis county. is al
ready under way. A second will DO at
Lacenter, in Clarke county; a third at
Ferndale, in WhAtcom county; a fourth
Ut Puyallup, In Pierce county; and the
nth at Langston's, White River Valley,
King county. For the two last named
the sites and money have already been
secured. These churches will be 1ne
houses. Their building indicates that
the Mothodists are in no wise dropping
behind their contemporaries in the great
matter of church extension.
