| BOHEMIAN. April 5.-The religious world
in Bozeman received quite blow the first
| of this year, when Rev. L. L. c. Bennett
OF the Christian church resigned his pas
torate Of the church here. He has gone
east to remain and his pulpit is now un
| occupied since his departure, Jan. 1, the
Christian church has been without any
preaching service, the Sunday school and
Young Peoples Christian Endeavor So
ciety alone continuing their meetings,
and although the church trustees are cor
responding with two ministers, one in
Illinois and one in Indiana, there is no
prospect of the longing for a shepherd
being filled during this month at least.
Then on Sunday last Rev. r. NJ. Dom
aldson of the Presbyterian church adj
dressed his congregation for the last time,
his sermon in the evening being from
this text, 1.-THE Lord watch between me
and thee when we are absent one from
another" which is the "Mzpah benedic-
tion," used by the Christian Endeavor So
cieties of the whole world. Twenty-Five
new members were taken into the church,
six by letter and 16 on confession of faith.
which makes a total membership in this
church of over 100. who, by reason of Rev.
Donaldson's departure, are left without
leader.
On Monday evening the regular annual
meeting of the church was held, when re-
ports from the various societies and
church committees were heard, the church
year closing with a total indebtedness of
less than 500, and after the meeting a sup
per was served by the mems league of the
church, when the leave-taking between
pastor and people was taken. Rev. Dom
aldson goes to Wooster, Ohio, where he
has been elected to the position of finan-
cial secretary of Wooster u University. and
there is not a member of his congregation
at this point who does not feel deeply the
loss of Mr.. and Mrs. Donaldson, who will
ever hold the good wishes and tenderest
memories of the people here. At the
social Monday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Dom
aldson were presented with purse of
silver with which they were asked to get
some suitable present by which to remem-
Der their many friends in Workmanship
silver state. Mrs. DIR. Waters was also |
given slight remembrance in silver by |
the congregation as showing the appreci- |
alton OF her work as organist. which posi- |
ton she has filled for many years.
The members of the Presbyterian |
church have decided to issue a call 10 /
Rev. T. V. Moore of the FIRST Presbyter- |
ian church of Helena, provided he will |
consider such call, beyond which no
move towards the filling of the pulpit has /
been made.
Rev. Llewellyn of the Baptist church.
who expected to leave for England the
LIST of this month. has decided to remain
for another year. Had he left as expected
this would have been the third church in
Bozeman having no pastor.
The lecture on missions by DIR. Thomas
Marshall of Chicago, which was given at
the opera house Tuesday evening, was
greeted by well-filled house and much
enjoyed by those present. After giving
his stand on missions in opening his re-
marks, the doctor said: II suppose now
you would like my stand on the silver
question? Well; am a bimetallist and
q free silver man." This brought forth
heavy applause from the audience and
created pleasant feeling toward the
speaker, after which he held his audience
IN close attention throughout the rest of
his address.
