REV. MIR. DOUGLASS RESIGNS.
Resolutions of Appreciation to the
ReIiring Pastor.

Resolutions of Appreciation to the
Retiring Pastor.
Rev. J. G. Douglass, pastor of the Temple
Baptist church, has resigned his charge in
this city and will seek new field inland.
Mr.. Douglas was formerly pastor of the
First Baptist church, and upon the organ
ization Of the Temple Baptist, more than a
year ago, he took charge of the new flock,
and has built up a substantial and pro-
gresslVe congregation. In addition to his
labOrs in the Temple Baptist church, on
Ninth street, between Main and Washing
ton, Mr.. Douglass has been active on the
Westside also, and has built up flourish
ing mission. In the erection of the Ninth
street church Mr.. Douglass gave the work
his personal supervision and was on the
ground early and late. The Westside mis-
sion has presented Mr.. Douglass with a let
ter appreciative of his services and the
members of his congregation have made up
purse for him. The following resolutions
have been adopted:
WHEREAS, Our pastor, the Rev. John c.
Douglass, has requested US to release him
as pastor from the few remaining weeks of
his present engagement after June II, 1892
to the annual meeting; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we receive this request
with feelings Of regret; the relation he has
sustained to this church as pastor has al
ways been most beautiful and pleasant,
and as such is regarded by us.
Resolved, That in Mr.. Douglass we have
had one of the most faithful and devoted
christian ministers of the gospel; he is an
earnest, forcible, interesting and effective
public speaker, always thoroughly evangel-
ical and so well versed in the customs and
usages of our church and denomination
that he is wise and safe counselor, and
one in whom the denomination has a strong
defense.
Resolved, That under his ministry the
church has lived and labored from the
very first, in perfect peace and harmony,
and has prospered marvelously in every
way, between go and 70 having united with
the church during the past year.
Resolved, that we do therefore most
heartily commend him to all the brethren,
the churches and the world, praying that
God may ever use and continue to bless
him wherever he may be called to labor,
and we bespeak for him the heartiest re-
ception and confidence and cooperation
of all.
Resolved, That we do also bear testi-
mOny to the real worth and merit of his
earnest and devoted Christian wife, Sister
A. Q. Douglass; we have ever found her to
be faithful, Christian lady and a faithful,
constant helper in all interests of the
church. and she has always had the high
est respect and confidence of this church,
and we do ask for her the warmest place in
every heart and home in the land. Nav
God ever bless both of these, His servants,
till we all meet above.
Services WILL be conducted in the church
next Sunday by Rev. Mr.. Cummings, of
Tacoma.

Beatty,s Pianos and organs.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great organ
and piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more organs and pianos than
eyer. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
nlless piow boy, and by his indomitable
will ne has worked his way up SO as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
comes out Of brighter than ever. His in
stTuments, as is well known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts Of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200, 600
more of his make, that means a business
of $40, 100000 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel +.
