Milton Revivalist TalSea Ill i'm Pulpit

Message Received States he Has
Smallpox, and CONSERVATION Pre-
yatls.

There comes story from Milton
from which it appears that the tate
revival services held at that place
have left something in their wake be-
sides peace of mind and sanctity of
soul. In fact. it Is whispered that the
hearts of the erstwhile worshippers
are filled with mighty fear, fear
that comes of earth and is of earth.
The Rev H. E. white, so the story
goes, was occupying the pulpit in the
First Chr stian church in that town,
and nightly throngs wended their way
TO hear this eminent divine and be
guided by his wise counsel. All went
we'll, and the churchmen were vastly
pleased by the increasing additions
to their flock.
But in the midst of h s success. the
reverend orator was stricken with an
illness and was obliged to descend
from his holy office. This was on
Thursday last, and on Friday he was
put aboard q train for Lawrence.

For four days after his departure
the citizens of Milton went quietly
about their routine missions. But on
Tuesday came a telegraphic message
from the Sunflower state which dis
turbed the calm tranquility of their
placid lives. 1t announced that the
Rev. II. E. Wilhfte, he that had been
with them but recently, and had sway
ed them with his appeals; the same
that had walked among them, assist
ing them with his religious ministra-
tions and contact with whom had i'm
planted a feeling of peace and secur-
ity in their hearts; that this former
friend and spiritual leader was con-
fined to his bed with the dreaded NAL
ady, smallpox.
The message was read and spread
abroad and hence the present epi-
demic of uneasiness, the ceaseless
pricking of the vaccination needle and
the suspicious look when eye meets

COMPLIMENTARY WORDS FOR
RETIRING PENDIETON PASTOR

A permanent man has been found
for two important churches, Mount
Hood and Parkdale, and he Will take
charge of them early this month, says
the Pacific Presbyterian of San
Francisco. called meeting of the
Presbytery was held In Pendleton De-
cember 3, to consider the resignation
and dissolve the pastoral relation be-
tween Rev. w, L. Van Nuys and the
Pendleton church, for he it is that
viii move into these fields to take
charge. The Pendleton church re-
grets very much to lose Mr. Van Nuys,
who is loved by all, and who has done
a good work in Pendleton for about
SIX years, both in the church which
he has served so faithfully and for
the Pendleton academy. The church
has been enlarged in all it's lines of
activity during Mr.. Van Nuy's pastor
ate. While the people in and near
Pendleton regret to lose so devoted
and energetic a pastor the men of
the Presbytery are glad that the move
does not take him out of its bounds,
and that they will still have his sound
work, ow which committee he Is
chairman, and in the Home mission
work, with which he is thoroughly
conversant.
1t has been very difficult to find a
man for this new work, as one from
distance could hardly be brought to
realize the Importance and bigness of
IL, especially in the near futura ur

ant charge as Pendleton to go into

maintain the interest of a high class

of the best qualified man. The ses-
sion Of the Pendleton church are not
in any hurry to call man until they
have looked about considerably. In
the meantime the church will be sup
piled by local men.
