BY BISHOP HOOD. LETTBB NO. 4. ■ In closing toy ^ the Dalles and other «ee*4*y r on. the jrl^r wMch then to enlarge upon. TheDsileearf a kina of r»pid» where the w^rteh ee down through a narrow passage a. such a *aj»d rate that no boat can *► cend, nor can a boat pass down e»*pt on very high water. fWi rntfrow passage is supposed to have on each side a perpendicular wall (luw*ldh| to an unknown depth, as no bottom has over been found. Below the Dalles the river is broad and has sufficient water for- large steamers. Some miles below, hoWcver, there is another rap ids where the water rashes over rocke in fearfhl r»|iid%, so, that it rwpiirtn two boats to eajjgtoy pemengers feoro the DaUutto Portland bjr water, and they have to transfer paasengem m»d freight from one to the other. The Government has speak large of money ia work en a canal these rocks, but like all such meat enterprises, it 0ms. on, it affords a good Cut jdaoe for A(ftre proceed down the Columbia! river the mountains oloee in untilj|t some points, a way for the track Mad to be_ made by blartiug the rocks which rise perpendicular from the water's edge to the bight of five bun ’’ died feet, and on a lodge of rook thus formed, the track is laid and the can run along a perpedicular wall on one side and the river on the other* Some places over hanging rocks threaten to fall and crush the entire train. At points where the rocky wall it little further from the water, the rocks do tumble, many tons ait a time, oocbt pletely covering up the trade so that trains cannot pass. To provide against this diffoulty, at these dangerous points, the road has been moved out > over the water’s edge, a wall of rock haring been built np from the water for this purpose, and yet it is exceed* ingly dangerous. * A merciful Providence brought us safely through as many others have been and yet we should not wonder if. hear of a dreadful catastrophe at that point at any time. The danger, how* ever, could only be wholly removed by the expenditure of vast amounts of money., To cut away these rocks, the workmen have to lec themselves down hundreds of feet by rope from the top. In passing down this river we see col umns of rock rising hundreds of feet high. Quo appears as if it might be as high as theWashington monument Probably the moat iotenstia* the scenery on the Columbia nae to what to called the "JWdaJ Vifl,” or Multnomah Falls. Mere the water comes ruihihg over a perpendicular rock from a bight of 700 fest, and in its fell it has the appearance of a white vail, hence the name, “Bridal Vail.” Thejoamstop here 15 minutes and the passengers get out and feast their eyes upon this; grand sigbtwhich if once semi, will never be fbi*gotten, and has to be seen to realize its beauty. As we pass on the moss covered ' Wuntaias of rock stand up in awful n'/^^wr.jurtfere.

His doubts and fears of the perpetuity of Mothodj ism iwere conclusively answered by the Rev R R Morris, through his very pertinent reference to the 26th article in our book pf discipline, and his in sisting upon that portion that main tains that “We hold that all children kingdom of (rod,” (Art, 26, sec. 2, item 1, page 82.) The subject was further debated by Prof Price. Ink few eloquent'words he sustained the doctrine of the gradual regeneration of childhood, and the possibility of them growing up into a living and savma faith in Chnst without their , 7 ... . j. they Were changed from . nature- tk grake- ' wmb&tv 'vmia dttm; Ai'RMK awjyt; «* Pi id* nifertJstsof the <**£ of *efr*hnMaitaprepaid* by the good Xdlijilili iitfifflciH ntn 1 ^aivuii: u >^W8oul*<miidk“&«S eohftriae# re* e^end in view, <y his pres fowir t6* accomplish'' could not be excelled ■ H , r . 1f-A, i .?| ence and,, eloquenij speeches he has greatly- aided us in out connectional work in,his place. , / On motion i£ was unanimously voted that the jpinutes of the conference and the essay read by Mr3 Allikon be pub* lished in the “Star of Zion.”At the suggestion of the^;^ E, a epllecti^n was lifted aaa. donation to the “Star,” and $4 was* realized, and the $2 sent from .Middletown for support of con ier^nce was added thereto audit :was voted to aehd $6 as a donation tp the irm<iz3 Red norjqnoa Wt > ?d I{ai?<WV>.yn.!n. ? .‘vvff On j^otion ,£ey yf; B Bpwpi^s, Prof Price, the pastor}’ officers and members of Attleboro church mid the daughters of Conference.
