The churches of Dallas are very
closely associated with the best in
terests of the city and its people. As
important factors in the public well
fare, they hark back to the very be-
ginnings, when the foundations OF
empire were hewn out of an uncon-
auered wilderness. The ministers OF
the gospel were pioneers among the
pioneers. They endured with their
neighbors all the hardships, and bore
with them the many trying privations
of the founding of this splendid COM
monwealth in this beautiful William
cite valley.
Their untiring enterprise and broth
erly spirit, coupled with their devo-
ton to the spiritual interests of the
people, and their wide-awake interest
in public affairs had very much to do
with moulding the public mind and
the civil and educational institutions,
for which Oregon is justly famous, IN
the county today. The churches OF
Dallas are always on the right side
of every moral question which at
fects either private or public wei
fare. They stand for the public
school and the thorough education OF
our children. They believe in public
Improvement, and a city beautiful
They ever advocate the highest NOR
al and business ideals among our cit
izens. Our churches believe in Dallas
and work for the home town. As lead
ers in movements for reform they are
safe guides and are always alert in
assisting the poor and unfortunate,
and to them the bereaved may turn
for sympathy and consolation and
never be turned away.
The churches of Dallas by their in
fuence and power add value to our
property, they give greater value to
human life, and are factors which
give assurance of public safety.
Adventist Church.
While this church has no resident
pastor at this time regular meetings

tensive adoption of such devices de-

economy.
The heating and cooking appliances
designed and manufactured by the
General Electric Company mark a
new epoch in domestic science in that
they employ electricity to generate
heat with absolute reliability and
(when properly used) with excellent
economy. They are safe even IN the

any kind or nature, but the work Is
carried on by volunteers, who com
prise the congregations. A business
meeting is held on the first Friday OF
each month, when the Lords supper
is partaken of, followed by foot wash
ing. Those connected with the organ
ization are firm believers in divine
healing, and local cases are pointed
out to prove that their faith is not
erroneous. The first meeting by those
of this faith in Dallas was held in
1907, and the attendance has increas-
ed until today it is seldom that the
attendance is under fifty at any OF
the five meetings Of the week.
Baptist Church.
Under the pastoral guidance of
Rev. W. T. Tapscott, the Baptist
church has shown a steady and
healthy in every department of its
activities. The increase in member
ship has been nearly twenty per cent,
while the average attendance has in
creased over forty per cent. The IL
nancial income is forty-seven per cent

year.
The Sunday school and Young Peo-
ples' societies are manifesting vigor-

coming year as the very best in its
history.

The Rev. FIR. Forget, who has
charge of the Dallas and lndepen-
dence parishes, and who has his res

members of the eatechism class.
Christian Church.
The Christian church has made sol
id growth in all its departments the

The Christian Endeavor society OF
100 has been making payments on a
piano the past year. The c. W. B. M.
is gaining in membership. This So
ciety has been fusing power in unit
ing the church for service. The Ju-
nior church, the newest member of the
church family, is doing a new and
needful work among the children.
Meeting in the basement at the same
hour as the regular church service,
and fitting the teaching of Christ to

be a power in the years to come. The
Sisterhood of the church likewise has

pleasant and helpful.

When he was an infant Hart was
taken by his parents to the plains of

During this association he absorbed
the habits and customs Of the aborig-

With this fundamental knowledge
at his command Hart was equipped
to undertake a performance Of the
