and well-equipped and thoroughly or
ganized body known as tbe First Bap
tist church of Oregon City, with a
membership of over 400 In the church
in i 1 1 1 it lit and many more In the church
triumphant.
A fitting memorial of this semi-centennial,
In addition to Its celebration,
would be the addition to the standing

torical committee, whoso object should

preservation of all historical facts, rec
ords and relics of the church outside
of those contained In the minutes and
especially pertaining to the pioneer
period nnd Including the likenesses of
all of the church oflleors. Such an act

gratitude for the past and the confi
dence for the future of nn organised
body of those who have "one faith,
one hojie, one baptism."1

The sermon waa preached by Kev. A.
W. Lamar, D. D., of Georgia, from
Kpliesian 2:10: "For we are his work
manslilp." The seaker (aid in part : "A distin
guished writer once aald that creation
cannot be onderetood until duit
tand op a living man. The flrat sen
tence of tbe book of Genesis say God
created man out of tbe dust of tbe earth
and th run nh that open doorway I look
out Into tbe panorama of life and see all
the beantic and grandeur of nature."
Dr. Lamar then went on to describe
the material out of which God fashioned
his workmanship, which waa given in
hi own inimitable way. It waa one of
those Indescribable heart talk, full of
love and pathos, delivered in a manner
that swayed tbe audience at tbe will of
the speaker.
At 6 o'clock p. m. a reminiscent ser
vice was held, during which the melo
dian, tbe first musical instrument used
by the church and one of the Arst instru
ment brought to the coast, was used to

by Hon. W. C. Johnson,, tbe first or
ganist. The old songs, such as "Come Ye
Sinners," "How Firm a Foundation,"
ete., were sung. Addresses were made
by the old pastors present and by a num
ber of tbe old-time members. Among
them Prof. Richard Uargreaves, princi
pal of tbe academy at Grass Valley,
Eastern Oreiton, who said that many of
his brighten recollections were associ
ated around the old church and that
many times be had received strength
and inspiration for the future from the
meetings held here. lie spoke feelingly
of the missionary spirit that had always
actuated the work of Ibis church.
Deacon Clinton Latourette read a letter
from Kev. II. K. Hines, of the Methodist
church, expressing bis regret that pre
vious engagements made it impossible
for hlin'tobe preent. Continuing Dr.
Hines said; "I feel sure that tbe dis
appointment will be much greater to me
than to you, as I shall hardly be missed
from tbe many who will rejoice together
over the history of the half century that
la behind your church, while I shall miss
the pleasant greetings and worthv rejoic
ings that will accompanyjthe exercises
while you celebrate, not what man has
done, but what God has done by men
ajid women through that history. My
personal knowledge of and association
with our church dates back to within a
few years of its organization. Ita earlier
milliliters and members I knew well, and
esteem them highly "for tlaeir works
sake," and in not a few instances as per
sonal friends. I bear a cheerful and
hearty testimony to their intellectual
vigor, their moral stamina and their spirit
ual force. They ranked fairly with the
strongest and truest cf the pioneers and
are a noble part of I he history of one of
tbe most chivalrous and devoted evan-
gelisms that has ever been wrought to
redeem a new land for Christ.' I assure
you that I do most sincerely rejoice in
all that the great Baptist church ban
been able to accomplish for itself and
for the people of Oregon."
Mrv Latourette then referred to the
time he and II. E. Cross sat in tbe
same Sunday school class and spent
their spare moments gazing at tbe high
water mark left on the walls of the
church by the memorable flood of 1861
62. lie also spoke of the eminent
services of Key. Ilezeklah Johnson and
Kev. Geo. C. Chandler in fashioning tbe
early history of tbe church and bow
Hon. W. Carey Johnson used to super
intend the Sunday school, play and lead
the singing and also teach a class.
Hon. II. E. Cross Bioke very tenderly
regarding tbe early scenes and recollec
tions of those stirring times and was not
only visibly affected himself but carried
tbe audience with him aa well.
Kev, J. T. HulT a!d it bad alway
seemed providential to him that be ever
appeared among this people, and related
how he came among them as an entire
stranger, the result of correspondence
waa received most cordially by the
church and spent four pleasant, pros
perom yeara as pastor, during which
time many accessions were made to the
church membership, The large silver
leaf poplar trees south of the chnrcb
building were planted during tbe first
year of Kev. Huff's pastorate.
Mr. Amelia Fisher, of Albany, widow
of the late Itev. Ei' Fisher, one of tbe
pioneer foundera of this church, whe
celebrated her 05th birthday last Friday,
waa present and seemed to greatly enjoy
tbe service. She declined to speak,
but bad written a letter, which was read
by Mrs. W. C. Johnson, in which the
writer detailed very minutely the early
history and formation of the chnrcb.

ilezckiah Johnson, W. C. and F. J.
Johnson, Kev. and Mr. Post, Mr. and

Chicago, and Mrs. Persis W. Chandler.
Cyrus II. Walker, of Albany, wrote
concerning the early temperance agita
tion and referred to tbe organization of
the first temperance society In Oregon
at Oregon City, on September 5, 1647,
which gathering waa presided over by
Rev. Ilezeklah Jobnaon, 36 members
being enrolled at tbe first meet
ing. Speaking of the fearless
manner in which Keva. John
son and Fisher proclaimed the
message of salvation. Mr. Walker says :
"Truly it can be said of these men and
others of tbe early missionaries, there
were gianta in those days, veritable
Paula who feared not to proclaim the
whole gospel of Jesus Christ."
At tbia point Dr. Lamar spoke a few
eloquent words of farewell, referring to
the ties of friendship he had formed dur
ing his few days stay here. The audi
ence stood and sang "God be With You
Till We Meet Again" before Mr. Lamar
departed.
Mrs. S. M. McCown gave some of her
recollections regarding the early history
of the church and dedication of the new
house of worship, narrating the trials
and privations endured in its build'ng.
Hon. W. C. Johnson, son of one o
the organizers of the church, gave an
account of ita earliest history. The
church was organized in the home of
Deacon Peter II . Hatch, of tbe Congre-
gatlonal church, which Mr. Johnson
thought accounted for tbe very friendly
foeling that bad always existed between
these two great denominations in tbi
city.
Kev. Gilman Parker spoke of the cir
cumstances attending his call to this
pastorate, of the cordial reception attend
ing bis coming and the blessings of God
upon his 2Jt' yeara labor, during wbich
time 206 members were added to tbe
church.
Itev. W. II. Latourette, of California,
grandson of Rev. Ezra Fisher, said the
secret of the success of this church was
due to the people who were persuaded
by things as yet unseen, people who
had the power of an endless life and who
were thoroughly in earnest, as attested
by the faithful living and teaching of
ita membership.
Miss Ann Eliza Fisher Latourette, of
McMinnville also made a few remark.
There were present at this service as
representatives and descendants ol thoee
sturdy, old pioneer preachers Rev.
Heaekiah Johnson and Rev. Ezra

Amelia Fisher, of Albany, widow of
Elder Ezra Fisher; Mrs. Eliza Fisher
Latourette, of McMinnville, a daughter;
Mrs. Sarah Josephine Fisher Henderson,
of Portland, daughter; Rev. Willard H.
Latourette, of California, grandson;
Deacon D. C. Latourette, of Oregon City,
grandson ; children of D. C. Latourette,
great-grand-children .
The evening services were devoted, to
a symposium on "The Work of the
Church," considered under four beads.
First, for bociety, by Rev. W. H. Lat
ourette, who said that the church makes
society better by making you and me bet
ter. The church elevates the community in
which it is located and exerts an influence
that tolls for time and for eternity. For
morality, by Rev. C. A. Wooddy.
People contented for morality for two
reasons, for the sake of happiness and
the sake ol yirtue. God has not left man
to himself. There are conflicts of right
and wrong in the heart and conscience.
The church stands in the relation of a
helper in the conflict and to reveal to
men a divine helper. The church has
held for morality in so far as it has held
forth the lite of JesusChmt.
For Citizenship, by Rev. Gilman
Parker: Citizenship has been coming
wonderfully to the front during tbe last
five years. We bear of it in political as
well as religiouB meetings. This is not
tbe result of a sudden upheaval but has
been brought about by long years of agi
tation and education. The strength of
the nation today lies in the lives and
characters of one-tenth of its population.
For Education, by Prest. Harry L.
Roardman of McMinnville college: The
church sustains a vital and positive
relation to education. Tbe bulk of
higher education today is under the di
rect auspices of tbe Christian churches
of the land. Christian education is
heart education. Christian education
means education with God In it, with
Christ in it, with the bible in it, and not
sectarianism nor dogma.
Pastor Kugg spoke very encouragingly
and hopefully of the outlook for the fu
ture and said it fchould be estimated,
first, by what has been done in tbe past
and the accelerated motion of the pres
ent day; second, by tbe preparatory
work that ia being done ; and, third, by
tbe mighty power of faith in an omnip
otent God who ia back of tbe work.
Tbe exerciser of tbe day closed with
the singing of "America," the entire
audience joining heartily in the melodi
ous strains of this grand old bymn.
