Big meeting and Lots of
Business.

) y
the pleasure of the company of this
distinguished assemblage the memb-
ers of the local church draw a breath
of relief over the successful entertain
ment of this body, and we'll they
might, as it was task of no small
magnitude, something like 53 deleg-
ates being In attendance, as shown
by the photograph which Mr. Hines
took OF the body on Wednesday
afternoon.
The sessions were reqlete with in
terest to all church workers and an
inspiration to future effort not easily
lost, so that the temporary burden
of entertainment is more than Offset
by the pleasure from the visitors pre-
sence and the good resultant there
from, and further it developed the
amity OF thought and fellowship be-
tween The two religious organizat-
| ions of the town; the cordial help
and interest of the M. E. church Icing
a marked feature OF the occasion:
and again it brought out the strength
| of the members and their willingness
to work.
Through expedition of the work | Y
the Moderator and the Stated Clerk
the Presby terry closed it's labors In
| less time then it usually taxes and
hence departed on Thursdays trains
and we can add that not only in the
resolutions but in their individual
expressions they were all sounding
the praise of Kendrick and her people
as hosts and entertainers.
The WORK of the first evening con-
sisted of all address by the retiring
Moderator, Rev. A. f. Vickers OF
Grangeville; the election of Rev. Hood
of Charleston as Moderator for the
coming year, the Installation the
Rev. Archibald Durrie as pastor OF
the Kendrick church at the request OF
the members; and the serving oi
the Communion.
The installation of the pastor at
this point is a mile post in tile hist
ory OF the organization and the serv-
ices were most Impressive, the
charge to the pastor and to the con-
gregation being full of sound advice
and wisdom. The Communion serv-
ice as is always the case was an event
in the life of every participant, not
to be put on paper but to be remem-
| bered.
An incident worthy OF mentioning
was the informal meeting Tuesday
afternoon when the Stated Clerk w.
S. Morley, after reading how this
church reduced it's appropriation
from the board and then that one
and then the next one, all along
the line, from $25 up, read the good
hews how two churches had gone to
self support, including Grangeville,
and remarked "We ought to sing the
lDoXology" and instantly from all
present broke out "Praise God from
whom all blessings fiow."
The Presbytery is in better shape
than ever in it's history and the
strong work in organizing done in
former years is now beginning to
| bear fruit.
The highest honor in the gift OF
the Presbytery was given to DR.. Alex
Hunter in his election as delegate to
General Assembly which meets in
Des Moines, Ida. and that kendricK
might be sure of the delegate in any
event, the alternate was also chosen
from the Elders Of her Session.
The Walla Walla Presby terry close
ed it's annual session Wednesday
| night after one of the most interest
ing sessions in the history of the
church in t he northwest, themeeting
was attended by twentyone minis.
ters representing the churches in the
persby terry; of this number eight

features of the meeting Wednesday
night was an address by James
Hayes, q Nez Perce minister in charge
of the first church at Kamiah
and at the solicitation of the other
ministers, Mr.. Hayes also rendered
several hymns in the Indian tongue
and was assisted in these hymns by
other members of the tribe.
