MIssoULA, Oct. "a large congrega-
ton assembled at the Episcopal Church
of the Holy Spirit this morning to greet
the new rector, Rev. {. ii. Lindley. Ii is
safe to say that they were all pleased.
Mr.. Lindley is a good reader and very
forcible and pleasing speaker. While he
is by no means n ritualist, the services, as
conducted by him, are not bare and want
ing those forms which make them bcauti-
full. His sermon this morning was on the
theme, "Wbat Shall We Do?" aud re-
ceived the close attention that il we'll
merited. Harvest thanksgiving services
were announced for next Sunday, when
the church will be appropriately decorated
with flowers, fruits and grains and the
special thanksgiving service of the church
will be read. When Mrs. Hollister, who
for long time had been organist, moved
to Denver, it was believed that her alb
sence would be deeply felt, but Miss Fan
ME Robinson has taken her place at the
organ and fills il admirably.
The song service which introduced the
exercises Of the Montana Christian asso-
citation last evening was followed by a
most excellent and powerful address from
Rev. II. Z. Dunlap of Bozeman on the
work Of the Young Peoples Society Of
Christian Endeavor. After reviewing the
vocation of the 10000 of young men in
our country, noticing the designations to
which they are giving themselves, and
commenting upon the fearful waste of
young life consequent, he turned atten-
iion TO the remedial agencies. among
which the Society of Christian Endcayor
holds the foremost place. The history of
the movement and characteristics of its
work were graphically described. Its
adaptation 10 the needs of the present,
and its helpfulness 10 development Of
Christian life were SO powerfully pre-
sented as To deeply move the audience,
and at the close Of the service large
number signed the society's pledge.
To-day's exercises began with song
service at $3.50 led by Galen Wood of
Butte. At 10 Rev. Dunlap conducted a
model Sunday school.
At II Rev. II. :. Earl of Liverpool. Eng.

on "Christian Service" Rev. 22:l2 and
Job :7-l2 were read as suggesting the
thought. The line of thought was some

faithful service rendered TO man is usually

the intense aud varied activity that sur.
