PENITENTIARY CHAPLAIN.
Employment of One la Strongly Urged
by K. t. R. Wlnan. Reform
and Imlfau Schools Included.
At the Presbyterian Church, Sunday
ni'-riiinir ,ftev. W. R. Winans, Oregon rep-p-tentative
of the American Snndav
School Union, outlined In a convincing
matiner the need of a chaplain or mis
moiury in the Oregon penitentiarv and
reform school at (ialero and tne I ndian
aclxtol At Ohemawa.
He cald that the salvation and destiny of
1000 iil depend upon the reliuioue w.k
that eati be aitenmpliahed in these Institu
tion. At the Htate penitentiary them nre
lieiwwr. ,100 and 400 prisoners, Hnd of this
nnmber from t50 to 200 go out and come In
to the institution Hhotu every two ve rs.
The reform c,hool has 140 boys, between
the age r 10 and 31. while the Indian
school has 660, making a total ot 1000 In
the three institutions.
"In these institutions," said Mr. Wi-
bv reason of thir tt-rly horn- training are
approachable; tliey are by no mean- all
Incorrigible nid are therefor- snsoep'ible
to moral training and relli'toii-t teaching.
I' is a surprising fact thai there Im no
chapel in tlit nt-nhVntiary, while none of
the three in'titntion has a chaplain or
vUitorto hold regular religion services.
The state provide nothing whatever tor
the carrying on of religiou work in any
of these liiHlltu'ton. The plan i to pro
vide a regular missionary or pastor for
these three planes. He must be no sec
tarian, therefore the Sunday School Union,
which is undenominational, ia bast fitted
to support the plan."
The speaker stated that it would require
only about 11000 annually to carry o(i the
work, and big appeal for fund brought
many willing contribution.
The Portland mfnlRters have indulged
the work, and the Com luissf oner of In
dian Affairs at Washington ha consented
to the plan, provided the Government is
put to no expense. Many Cnntfresa-nen
and state official ere also in svrapathy
wiih the movement.
