M. E. Church Notes.

start last Sunday. There were 10
present for the first time, and all
seemed to greatly enjoy the service.
We are hoping to add to the class
with each succeeding Sunday. The
shade in the parsonage yard makes a
very comfortable place in which to
meet. My Brother, II you are over u
and under 30, and not in sunday
school anywhere you are most cor.
daily invited to come and join the
class with us.
We reached the high.water mark In
the Sunday school work last sunday
morning. When the count was made
we found that we had lao present, the
highest number yet reached since my
coming TO Oregon as pastor We
have our stakes set at 200, and are In
a fair way to reach our ambition.
The collection was nearly 81. or an
average Of considerably more than }
cents per scholar. The pastor and
superintendent were greatly pleased
with the work Of the Sunday school
last Sunday. With little concerted
action We can do even much better.
Let every man Of us do our best.
Our morning audience continues TO
grow, the congregation last Sunday
being much larger than the sunday
preceding. This Is a very gratifying
outlook for the work. There are yet
good many who do not 20 to church
anywhere. Let's lind them and per.
suade them 10 come with H. II We
