The editor of the CHRONICLE ackn-

The Rev. j. A. Orchard informs us
that the Advent Christians commenced
last night a general annual conference

ervoir. The meeting will hold over two
Sundays, and a cordial invitation is ex-
tended to the public and to the Christ
ians of other denominations. Services
are held daily at IL a. m. and 30 and 8
p. m.
this week to publish Rev. w. G. Curtis'l
remarks last Sunday at the funeral of
the late Judge Bird. The CHRoN1cLE
would have done the same had not it's
columns been overcrowded. The address
has attracted much favorable comment. |
1t Is dawning upon the good people of |
The Dalles that in Rev. Mr.. Curtis they
have minister of more than average
attainments and ability. His sermons
are bringing out many thinkers to listen |
to them. They are always full of |
thought and research and if printed |
they deserve to be-would attract so |
much attention to himself that the mod |
est little pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church of The Dalles would be |
called to the pulpits of churches that |
pay salaries much higher than that which
he now receives. Gradually Mr.. Curtis
ability is becoming known and appre-
ciated, and people who desire to hear
sermons which would be listened to |
with pleasure if delivered in Chicago.
New York or Boston, are dropping in
from Sunday to Sunday to listen to
him, and his congregations are steadily
growing in numbers. The Congrega-
tional church has never been in SO pros
porous condition as now and it is the
ability of its pastor that has brought it
about.
