THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER S3 1899.
SKETCH OF EARLY
CHURCH HISTORY
ORGANIZATION OF THE DALLES
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Am HUtarlcal Sketch Itaad by Mr. B.
ml at tha rartla'n Aanlser
aary. an4ay, Srpl. IT, 189.
Th Dil'.e, foncerly called V
cocamfortr verjJo. was an infantile
town of scared 400 inhabitants, when
Ber. W. A. Teiiriy, the pioneer preacher
of Congregationalism, stepped ashore
from cff the little steamer Ha;a!o at
the "Gate City" of the I aland Ecu pir
to be. After a few davs mrvey of the
place uad iff surrounding? be found that
the religion of the day, for the uiaj rity,
was everybody for himself, Be in,; a
frontier town the revolver and lijwie
knife were the eat of j .mice onteiJe of
the coarts. The rooghs were in the
ascendency to f.tr as Cjjrt j itice was
concerned. Need I tay that hit Satanic
majesty reigned in what today is our
beaatifa! city, with its church spire
pointing heavenward?
A brave man was Mr. Tenny to face
such a condition of affairs. He taw,
after bit arrive!, the awaiting oppor
tonity for active work in this Goalee
field. The better class hailed this
herald of the cross with favor. The
.Master had called him to "Go! and
preach the gospel!" With this coru
min 1 he came to bring zood tidings to
the people. Tact, patience, perseverence
an I forbearance were requisites he
possessed. Zea'oas work was com
menced at or ce in the niUsion on which
he was c tiled. Days, weeks, nuntLv
passed. Evidences if bis labor was on
teen. He thought
We do not know It, bot there lies
8me here, veiitd under evening skies,
A garden nil must sometime
boinewcere lies our Gctutemene.''
Mr. Ter.ny had secored from the
coonty court the privilege of nsing the
coart room fur cbnrch purposes antil
inch tim as circumstances would allow
a better place. Underneath the audi
ence room was the jul, which was
filled most of the time with criminals of
various c'asses. lam told that during
religious worship, vaporingscf profanity
and viliianoas songs mingled with the
sacred exhortations from the minister's
deek, and during thn season of prayer
the mocking "amsns" would be heard
from the icmatej below.
With all these discoornging features,
Mr. Tenny pressed on in the work. As
time passi t on he concluded that steps !
muet be taken toward the formation of
a church ejeiety. After consulting with
Messrs. E. S. Joslyn and E. S. Pen field j
in regard tn the matter, it was decided
to move in that direction at once. This
encouraging conference resulted In Mr,
Tenoy making a call for a meeting of all
thoee interested at the next Sabbath's
morn in service. At the stated time
the acting pastor prefaced his invitation
with t prayer, and asked that all those
connected with the church assemble
at Lis horns on the evening of the 17tb
of September (present month) and form
ulate and complete an organization of
the First Congregational church of The
Dalles. The following members ap
peared and signed the compact: Eras
tosS. Joslyn, E. S. Penfield, William
B. Slillwell, Rev. W. A. Tenny and
Mrs. Tenny. This perfected the organ
isation. Mr. Zelck and Mrs. Camille
Donnelt and Mrs. Mary Joilyn not
being in town at the time, were re
ceived into fellowship at a meeting a
very short time afterward as charter
members of this the First Congregational
church of The Dalles.
The following day (Sunday ) the regu
lar church services were held in the
court room at the usual hour. The
ervices bean with an invccalion and
a hymn, "I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord,"
after which a scriptural lesson was read
from the 17'h chapter of John's gospel,
and following this the old familiar
hymn, "A Charge to Keep I Have,"
was sung. Prayer was t flVred by the
acting pastor and then the sermon was
preached from an appropriate text, ' Ve
re the Light of the World," to the
cbnrch and people. At the close of the
discourse the accustomed announce
ments were made and an invitation ex
tended to al! thoee who professed their
faith in Christ to remain and join in the
celebration cf the Lord's Supper, The
hymn "Witness Ye Men ami Angels
Now" was sang, and benediction pro
rjonncod as the closing act of the First
Congregational church org.mizition at
Toe Dalles.
Ths U'oal mid-week prayer meetings
were held on Thursday evenings, usual
ly at the pastor's house. Although
email in numbers, they were imbued
with Christian fervor, gaining etrength
from week to week as spiritual builders
of the church of Christ. Frequently
Mr. and Mrs. Tenny and Mr. Penfield
were all that were present. The musical
part of the prayer meetings fell on
Brother Penfield alone, as neither
Brother Tenny nor his excellent wife
could sing at all. It is presumed, how
ever, that they possessed enough musical
ability to bain a lullaby whenever an
occasion required it.
The church shed a fresh iLfluence
upon the ptople after its organisation,

and an interest showed itself in the
small community from which some
eil.t or ten wro added to the rtcord
prior to the close of the pastorate of
Mr. Tenny. From the first, church
financial support was an unknown
quantity. Popularity did not prove a
barrier against the needed want for
proper support. In other words to keep
he wolf from the door. Providentially
i call trotn the Forest Grove church
came to him, and, after due and prayer
ful consideration, he accepted the call
and bade the little church farewell, late
n the summer of 1SGI.
The little flock a as left without a
eader nnt:) the early spring of 1862,
when Rv. Thomas Cond in, of Albany,
tim ing heard of the vacancy, came acd
tioic up the work left by its founder.
Mr, Condon, after "a short sojourn in the
embryo city, found it absolutely neces
arv that a house of worship other than
the old court room over the jtil should
be provided.
On the 12th day of July, 18(2, Rev.
Condon Cillel a meeting of the church
pople, to meet him nt his residence to
difcaes the subject of erecting a church
edifice at an early day. Mr. II. P.
Iaacj, a prominent citizen of the town,
was very enthusiastic, as was also
Messrs. Andrew Clark and J. M. McKee,
in the matter. Although the popula
tion theu was hardly 700 souls, tbjy
conceded that $1000 could be raised
from the people for that purpose. They
felt that the people would be generotfs
and do the right thing. They were not
disappointed. After some discussion
an 1 deliberation, Messrs. II. P. Isaacs,
Andrew Clark and J. M. McKee were
appointed a building committee with
authority to purchase grounds ami bc-
giu work as soon as practicable. Tbev
found it difficult to get material M pros-1
ecn'e the work with rapidity. However
a building 30xo0 was begun and en
closed so that in the early part of Jan
uary, 1S63, with a rough floor thrown
down, improvised benches, and an old
box stove to-warm the building-with,
the church people were gathered nnder
their own roof.
The trimmer and winter of 1833 and
1 804 saw the building finished inside
and out ;the seating was done by Messrs,
ilogue and Abrams. The seats were
made of cedar, shelacked and varnished;
the pulpit was an elaborate pieca of
workmanship, and was presented to the
church by Col. J. S. Rickel, a very prom
inent personage of transportation fame.
The colonel was not strictly a religious
man, yet was a warm friend of the
church an 1 pastor, Mr. Condon.
In 1807 an addition was put on the
front of the bail Jin ; on tho northeast
corner was a tower in which a large 800
pound bell was placed. This addition
wa built by volunteer work. I well
remember Mr. Zelek Donne! I saying
that his stock were fattening on the
bunch grass and he could put in time
for the Lord while bis flock increased.
Mr. Condon was a very popular man
and minister ; bis labor was a witness of
it. At the close of his ministry in the
summer of 1873, the church roll num
bered ninety-seven members, or com
municants. On bis retirement Rev.
W. R. Butcher, of Albany, accepted aj
i call to fill the vacant pulpit, and began
his ministry in the early autumn of the
same year. He was a great favorite of
the charch and people ; was a fine vocal
ist and a lover of nmslr; was nearly
always whistling when ont walking, and
from that had the sobriquet of the
"whistling preacher," During his
ministry the church forged ahead as
usual in additions to the church roll.
The forepart of June, 1876, he tendered
his resignation, to take effect on the first
of the next month, (July). On the

church took active measures to have ti e
pil pit occnpied. as soon as circumstances
would permit, by a permanent pastor.
Rev. D. B. Gray, of the Albany chnrch,
was given a call and accepted it, giving

In the early fall of 1ST8 Mr. Gray, January 2nd Mr. Abrams was elected to
with his family, came to cs and com- i fill the office, and he and Mr. Joslvn
uienced work in this church as its ' ct ntinued ia office for seven years. On

provided for the pastor, and steps were'pastor. At the first election Mr. Roberts
taken to that end. In the spring fol
lowing, a contract was let and a good
resid .Mice built at a cost of about $1100.
A few years after Rev. Gray arrived it
was found that the old edifice would
have to be repaired at a considerable
cost, or a new one built. Mr. Gray
ascertained that Mr. O. S. Savage would
sell two lots off the property on which
he lived for $3000. At a meeting of the
board of trustees it was decided to close
the putchase which could be made on
very favorable terms. The title having
been acquired, plans were examined
and finally one was adopted for a house
that had a seating capacity of about
400.
Mr. Gray's ministry was a very suc
cessful one. During his pastorate the
chuich flourished and "grew like the
cedars ol Lebanon." His excellent wife
took her place in the Sunday school as
a teacher. If the prayer meetings were
without a leader in the singing, Mr. or
Mrs. Gray filled the place. The prayer
meetings were generally well attended,
and were always an evidence of the
spiritual growth of the membership.
Mr. Gray's pastorate was unfortunately
brought to a close in July, 1SS7, by a
partial paralysis of the vocal cords, to
the deep regret of the church and people.
November 7th Rev. R. V. Hoyt, of
Cheney, Wash., having received and
accepted a call from the church, filled
the pulpit for one year, after which Rev.
W. C. Curtis, of Richmond, Maine,
having been called April IS, 1838, to the
pastorate, came out at an early date and
began a faithful ministry. A very short
time after his arrival, on the 2nd of
September, 1688, a disastrous fire with
other losses destroyed the old church,
and many a sigh was made as the old
bell struck one in its fall, as a part-
n8 k"e11 it9 perishing home. Tender
were the memories that clustered around
that old sacred edifice. Il was there
that many plighted their marriage vows
before its altar; and it was there that
many were born into the kingdom of
our Master; It was from mere that
some of its faithful members and
loved ones were botne out through its
portals to the Silent City.
Tne society being left roc (lass fell
back onto first principles, though not in
the old court room, but the new. Ia
this room the church worshipped until
January 27, 1S89, at which time the
new and beautiful church edifice, erected
upon the property purchased of the late
Judge O. S. Savage, was dedicated.
This magnificent building was built by
contract. The specifications providing
lor art glass windows, inside finished in
wood color, and seated as this audience
room is today. The furnishings were neat,
the entire rooms being carpeted with in
grain carpet, and a hundred chairs for the
annex, costing, including grounds, $13,
000. The lectern, made and presented
to the old church Christmas morn, by
Deacon Samuel L. Brooks, was saved
from the burning buildings of 1838 and
1891. This new bouse was built and
completed, lighted and furnished
throughout, and dedicated in October,
1892.
Great honor and praise is due the first
building committee, who had the hercu
lean task of raising the funds, procuring
grounds and building the First Congre
gational church building in a to an
whose morals were far from the ways of
truth and righteousness. In referring to
these gentlemen, Mr. II. P. Isaacs is
living in Walla Walla, I believe, and
is a very imminent man of Eastern
Washington. He owns extensive flour
ing mills In his city, and also In the
thriving little town of Waico. The
other two, Messrs. Andrew Clark and
J. M. McKee, haye long since gone to
receive their great reward.

1S75, Samut-l L. Brooks was elected
deacon to fill ttie place made vacant by
the removal of Mr. Josyln to Colorado.
The church society, at a regular annual
meeting, added two more deacons to the
comber already serving, who were J, B.
Condon and R. S. Thompson. Their
places were only supplied through the
regular routine of office.
On December 10, 1880, an amendment
to the constitution and by-laws provided
that the church shall elect two or more
deaconesses to hold office for one year.
It also provided that one should go
out of office each year. At an adjourned
i meelirg of the 21st of April, Mesdames
Camilie Doiinell, Alice Abrams, Martha
A. McFarland and Anna Pentland
B rooks were duly elected deaconesses.
Their successors in office have been Mrs
R F Gibtns, Mrs Mary E Michel!, Mrs
Mary Ellen McFarland, Mrs Camille
Donnell and Mrs Matilda Gibons.
The church has been blessed with a
Ladies' Aid Society ever since its forma
tion sometime in 1S03. The society
has been a great factor in the social
relations of the church. Its religious
influence has gone out into homes and
comforted hearts that were burdened
with sorrow and grief. It has been a
strong tower of etrength in financial
needs, and has also stretched out its
loving arm to the oppressed. Surely
the King of kings has enriched it with
the beauty of holiness that fadeth not
away. "As ye have done it nnto one of
the least of these ye have done it onto
me."
The church owes much to one who
has passed into the Great Beyond, for
his intense interest in the successes of
the church ana Sunday school. In song
and story he was a host. His greatest
ambition was to draw the young and
old into a field of usefulness and higher
life, and, although he made no public
profession of Christianity, ho lived It
just the same. I refer to the late Hon.
Joseph G. Wilson.
There aro many others w ho have done
noble and faithful work for this chuich
in former years; who always held its
interests dear to their hearts. They,
too, have been gathered home.
In conclusion, above all else, this
church has reason to thank God for Ilia
protecting, preserving care, His mercies,
His love, His infinite goodness in all
these years ; for those w ho have believed
in prayer as well as works,
ADDENDUM.
A remarkable fact is that of all those
who were the pioneer organizers cf the
church, Hon. Zlek Donnell is the only
one who has passed away. Rev W A
Tenny and Mrs A W Tenny are residing
in Oakland, Cat.; Hon E S Joslyn and
Mrs Joslyn are living In Colorado
Springs, Colo. ; Mr E S Penfield, a fresh,
well-kept gentleman of 81 summers, who
Is with ns today, resides in Canyon City,
this state; Mr W B Slillweli' lives in
Southern Oregon; Mrs Camilfe Donnell
resides with her son, Martin Z Donnell,
in this city. To me she has not grown
a bit old, or lost any of the freshness of
ber yonog womanhood that the pos
sessed when I met her first In the spring
of 1803.
In conclusion, the following items will
be interesting. Our church, late in the
fall of 1870, resolved to cut itself loose
from the A.. H. M. society's future as
sistance. From that day this church
has assumed its own financial responsi
bilities for pastors' salaries and Inci
dental expenses, and baa never seen the
time that it would reverse its decision.
In the matter of woman's suffrage,

charch in Oregon to accord to the ladies

Visit of Eastern Milling Men.
A special train arrived in the
about 8:45 this morning bearing
city
the
eastern members of the American In
stitute of mining engineers, en route to
Francisco to attend th th session
'of the organization. Word bad been
sent that the party desired to make the
trip down the river by boat, and, the
Regulator was held until their arrival,
when they went directly from the train
to the boat, and fortunately have a most
beautiful day in which to view the
scenery along the river. They gave a
ments to have it seived plentifully at
lunch today.
There are about forty members of tfce
institute in the party and with their
wives end others the party numbets
sixty or more. The party comprises
some of the most eminent mineralogists
and geologists of the country, among
them being Dr. James Douglas, presi
dent of the institute; Dr. R. W. Ray
mond, secretary; Theodore D. Rand,
tieasurer; Thomas Dnight, assistant
j fecretary and treasurer; Ernest Flem-
ing, a representative of tne Prunsntn
government, who is in this country to
study mining methods, and many other
engineers of renown.
Tho institute has been in existence
for many years end holds sessions an
nually for the discussion of mining and
engineering topics. Incidentally the
members enjoy their gatherings in a
social way and usually travel to the
place of meeting in an excursion party
if poseible. Such is the case this year.
The headquarters car left New York on
the afternoon of Sept. 15, picking up
members on the way to Chicago from
which point the party traveled in a
special train. From St. Paul the party
camo west over the Gretit Northern.
They have been visiting the smelters
and great mines on the route, stopping
at Spokane yesterday. It is to be re
gretted that they could not have been
induced to stop at Baker City and in
spect some of our mines near there ; "but
it seems Oregon mines were given the
"go by." It doesn't matter, however,
for they are becoming famous encugh
throughout the L'tiited States, not to
iLiss the visit of any amount of mining
men.
Mr. Whealdun thoughtfully made it
his business to be at the boat and pre
sent them with rich samples of ore taken
from the Gem mice, one of the Spanish
Gulch group. He also gave them his
cards and we may yet hear of some re
sults from their Dalles visit.
Accused of lloraa Stealing.
The Walla Walla Statesman lias the
following article concerning a man who
is quite well known in The Dalles :
"Rev. W. H. Shermau is a popular
Baptist preacher at Baker City, but his
fair name was recently besmirched. He
was mixed up In a horse stealing scrape.
What do you think of that?
"On Sunday, August 6, Rev. Sherman
preached at the Baptiit church in this
city. He engaged a rig to go out In the
country, on Sunday, but later informed
the liveryman that his trip was put off
till Monday.
"Monday Sherman got tho horse and
buggy, mid started out. And they
haven't heard since from either the
horse Or the driver. Rev. Sherman was
tracked to Baker City ; but he, with con
summate gall, denied the allegation that
he had the horse. In fact, it is said he
went farther than simple denial, and
called our own sheriff names (ond
names, all culled from the scriptures)'
Mr. Kees was only doing his duty in trv-1
ing to catch a horse thief, an 1 how was '
he to know that a Baptist preacher
didn't have a hankei ing after other peo
ple's equine possessions?
"It Is evident that t here are two Sher
mans. Though It has not been learned
for what denomination tie Sherman
who took the horse holds forth In tl
pulpit.
