Rev.. Morton l.. Gregory, of Walla
Walla, preached TO good audiences at
the local Christian church last Sunday
both morning and evening. Rev.
Gregory fully sustained his reputation
as forceful speaker and clear and
lucid reasoner and left with all who
heard him desire to hear again.
Hon. j. D. Bassett was called to
Walla Walla on last Thursday evening
to attend meeting of the trustees of
Whitman College. The meeting proved
to be most important in the history
of Whitman College as plans were laid
for making it one of the finest, as
well as the greatest, educational in
stitutions in the West. Many new
buildings are to be erected and other
improvements made that will call for
an endowment of nearly two millions
of dollars.
The following item taken from the
columns of the Columbia Chronicle
published at Dayton. will be of intrest
to many Of our readers as it describes
the ordination to the Christian Minis
terry Of Lester B. Harris. son of Rev.
w. H. Harris, former pastor of the
local Christian Church here. Lester
"Brooks" as they call him at Dayton
was a member of the Ritzville High
School Junior class last year and was a
very bright and popular young man.
For several months before leaving
Ritzville he preached for the church
at Cheney where, SO far as we know,
he gave good satisfaction. The
Chronicle says: Brook Harris was
ordained as a minister of the gospel
Sunday afternoon at the Christian
church in this city. The church was
filled to overlooking with people eager
to see the young man take the final
step, there being fully 600 people
present. Mr.. Harris is q member of
the senior high school class in this
city and has been preaching at Star
buck and Prescott for the past two
months. The ordination was in connec=
ton with the Christian Endeavor rally
that started last Friday when . recep-
ton was given at the home Of Mr..
Cullbertson in honor of Miss Lille
Cobb, state president Of the Endeavor,
and meetings were continued up to
Sunday evening. Rev. E. M. Finn of
Colfax was present at the meeting
and ordination.
