Rev. l.. W. S,bbet will leave Friday
and visit Palouse aud other vacant
churches for IA period Of two weeks.
He will return to Lewiston during
this month and close up his business
with the church here. Mr.. Sibbet has
done two years of active service In this
field. This Presbyterian church pull
pit had been vacant for two years
when he was called. Tie membership
then was thirty three; IL Is now seventy,
two. The Sunday school at the be.
ginning of his pastorage numbered
ninety and he has built 1t up to l76.
There was no prayer meeting then,
and now there Is an interesting one
that is well attended ut every weekly
meeting. The G. T.. society here Is the
most flourishing In the Palouse union.
The church receipts exceeded in 1906
any previous year, reaching the sum
of $500. There are mutual feelings of
regret over the departure of Mr.. Sibbet
to new field of usefulness. Wherever
he goes he will be mighty agent In
the good cause of religion.
