FOR GEN. HENRY'S WIDOW.
Movement Started to Secure a Relief
Fund.
Mayor Storey has beea requested by a
committee recently organized in New
York to act as the Portland representa
tive in raising a relief fund for the widow
of the late Brigadier-General G. V.
Henry. This new organization, essaying
for Mrs. Henry the work done for Mrs.
Lawton, appeals to the people on the
letterheads of the Merchants' Association,
of. New York. If the Mayor approves
the purposes set forth, he is asked to re
ply by return mall, allowing the use of his
name, and also to appoint an auxiliary
committee for Portland. The letter is dat
ed at New York, February 19, and is as
follows:
"His Honor, the Mayor Dear Sir: Brigadier-General
Guy V. Henry, of tho Unit
ed States Army, died In this City last
November. His life was, undoubtedly,
shortened by hardships he had endured In
the West, by the numerous wounds he
received In the many battles in which ho
participated, and, finally, by the extra
ordinary hard work which fell to blm as
military governor of Puerto Rico.
"The pension to which the widow of a
general is entitled Is $30 a month. Im
mediately after Congress convened, many
of his rrlends made efforts to have a
special pension bill introduced and passed
for the relief of Mrs. Henry, tho General
not having left any estate,
"In this movement a number of promi
nent men participated, but within the last
few days word has been received from
one of 4he leading Senators of the United
States that Congress has decided not to
grant any special pensions exceeding J50
a month, and that no such pension would
be granted until at least one year after
the application for it had been received.
"As soon as this became known several
gentlemen In this City who knew General
Henry personally, who had the very high
est regard for him and who believed that
some fitting testimonial for his widow
should be arranged for, met in the rooms
of tho Merchants' Association anu decided
to form a largo committee for the purpose
of raising funds to be invested for Mrs.
Henry, or to be placed to her credit, so
that she need havo no fear for her fu
ture. "Mrs. Henry herself did noble work in
Puerto Rico, In establishing schools and
laying the foundation for charitable work,
which has been successfully continued
since she left the island, and her health
became seriously impaired by the unceas
ing application she gave in ameliorating
suffering there.
"The Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss, who was
Secretary of the Interior in President
MoKlnley's Cabinet, has consented to
serve as chairman of this committee.
Major A. "V7. Conovor, of the Seventh
Regiment of the National Guard of, the
State of New York, has accepted the po
sition of vice-chairman. A. S. Frlssell,
president of the Fifth-Avenuo Bank, will
act as treasurer, and William R. Corwlne,
of the Merchants' Association, as secre
tary. "It is desired to havo on this commit
tee men who represent various walks In
life in this and other Cities. Your name
was mentioned by those who met the
other day, amd I was requested to com
municate with you aijd ask If you would
allow tho use of your name on this com
mittee for the purpose indicated above.
"Quite a number of gentlemen, other
than those already named, have agreed to
co-operate in this capacity. An early re
ply will greatly obHge tho committee.
Very truly yours, WM. L. CORWINE,
"Secretary."

ANTHONY AVHITAKER, COLUMBIA SLOUGH PIONEER.
Anthony TThltaker, pioneer of 1&46, died at the home of hla daughter, Mrs. Mayo, COO
Ellsworth street East Side, yesterday forenoon, at 9:35, after an Illness of over a week, con-flnlng-
him to his bed. However, he had been in falling- health for several months, but only
took to his bed recently. He nearly rounded out 100 years, and his life begun back in the
early days of the republic 1802. He possessed a wonderful vitality and survived much
longer than was expected possible. There was no disease whatever In his system, and he was
like a ship that had come into port for the last time, worn out with time and service. The
attending1 physician says that the case Is a remarkable one, in that the pioneer came to the
end of his long life without a single diseased organ.
Anthony Whltaker was born near Dublin, Ireland, November, 1S02. He resided
there until 20 years of age, when he came to Canada, where he Bpent six
years, plying his trade as carpenter. Ho then came to New York,
where he met Miss Isabella Patterson, whom he afterwards married. In 1846 Mr. Whltaker
crossed the plains with an ox team, accompanied by his wife and child. In company with
Tom Cully and other well-known pioneers, he took up a donation claim on the Columbia
Slough In 184S. Here he lived for a great many years, an honest, respected and honored man,
loved by all who knew him. He took great delight in aiding others and making their lot a
happier one. For their kindness and neighborly acts, he and his wife were tenderly known
by their friends and neighbors as "Uncle and Auntie Whltaker. The First Methodist Church
In that section of the country was established in their house, under Father "Wilbur. Mr.
andi Mrs. "Whltaker were tolerant of all denominations, and their home was open to ministers
of all sects. Tolerance and charity were their religion. Mr. Whltaker lived on the claim up
to 23 years ago, -when it was sold, and he came to Portland with his wife to live. Mrs. "Whlt
aker died Ave years ago. They had four children, two of whom lived to maturity and survive
their father. They are Mrs. Martha Mary Taylor and Mrs. Barbara Mayo, both of whom re
side in Portland.
For over a year Mr. "Whltaker had been In falling health, and recently he lost his eyesight.
Yet, in spite of his physical debility, he was cheerful, and spoke of his approaching end with
calmness. There was a rugged honesty about Mr. "Whltaker that commanded the respect of
all. He belohged to the class- of energetic pioneers who first made their home on Columbia
Slough. Only a few now remain.
would soon feave them, and opened to
them the very innermost of his truth. The
disciples fancied that, his kingdom would
even now be established, and began to
quarrel as to who should be greatest a
sad scene like children quarreling over a
will by the bedside. The Master takes
a towel and water and stoops down and
washes their feet and says: 'I am among
you as one who serves. In so doing- he
seemed to give them rebuk for their
jealousies and selfishness, to teach them
humility and love, and also to take an
other step in his life of service, ending in
his crucifixion, where he died for those
whom he would save.
"His Was a life of serving. He came
not to be ministered unto, but to min
ister. Ho went about doing good; he loved
most to bo useful; no task was beneath
him, If he might in doing it be of help.
Ho came to seek the lost; to open tho door
for groping mankind; to hold aloft a light
that careworn men might find God; he
was a well of water In the desert path
way; he was bread to the hungering; ha
was a good shepherd to the wandering.
To him earthly possession, the carpenter
shop at Nazareth, the throne of Caesar,
the dominion of broad fields, the build
ing of palaces, were as nothing compared
to the privilege of being of use to men.
Money was of but little value to him. un
less by Its use he himself might be the
more useful. He gave himself up entire-
ly to serving men; sinful men were by him
led to hope; the bereaved were by him
comforted; the friendless found a friend
in him, the Influence of Ids presence made
men better; he established the church;
preserved tho Sabbath; liberated woman;
amalgamated man; he has helped us all.
By his influence laws are better, men are
equal In rights, and brotherhood is estab
lished. He has taught us of God and
truth, and has given us -hope reaching out
into the years. Ho is among us today as
one who serves. He has power for good
today in every part of the world's busy
life. In business, his Influence serves us,
in home and school, in Nation and City
bo is as one who serves.
"He is the greatest of men and yet the
servant of all. He Is great In that he
serves. No Nation nor class alone can
claim him; he is servant of all. Those
whom he has helped or comforted or guid
ed or saved render to him a devotion
that is sublime and heroic. Men would
die for him, for he has helped men. Men
serve him, for he has been their servant
He was among men as one who serves,
and his true follower walks In his foot
steps and earnestly desires to be of use
In tho world, and of service to men.
"One of the great basal truths that
Christ taught was that It is more blessed
to givo than to receive. Humility Is the
road to true exaltation. He "reigns best
who reigns by service. The Dead Sea Is
dead because it is always receiving and
never giving. The clear mountain stream
Is always receiving and always giving.
The man who helps others helps himself
most. He who Is always trying to get
happiness is generally miserable. He who
gives happiness Is always happy. A kind
word don't cost us much, but is worth
much to the one who noeds It A talent
well used Is enriched in value to us, and
may by its use become an influence for
good that is wide-reaching and for all
time. A talent used is of infinite value; I
a talent unused Is of no use at all.
! Here then Is the increment of power that
will enable the Christ to lift this world to
God.
"Christ always commends -an earnest
effort to be useful. A parent may rudely
humiliate a child, trying to help in hl3
own way, by saying: 'Get out of the road;
you're more bother than you're worth."
"We may make poor work for the Master
and may accomplish but little, but he
always delights In our desire to serve.
'She hath done what she could.' 'Come,
ye blessed of my Father; inasmuch as
ye did it unto one of the least of these ye
did it unto me.'
"This day is full of helps to usefulness,
so that the man who desires may make his
Influence felt upon the life of the world.
Our citizenship enables a man to be of
service in his City, in the Nation. Men
have countless opportunities to help to
establish righteousness, to make good
laws, to encourage good schools, and good
homes. The church gives a man an oppor
tunity of malting his influence felt around
the world, and upon every part of the
world's busy life.
There is no place or

need but tho church Is endeavoring to be
of use.
"Our social intercourse enables men to
help men. The man who desires may help
those who come into his association and
Influence. The call of the day Is for men
who are willing to be among men as those
who serve. Men who desire to be of use
In their day and generation, of use In
establishing and fostering whatever prom
ises help to men.
"A grateful world to this day crowns
the Christ with an Imperishable crown,
for he above all others has been use full."
"SOWING GOOD ii.ED."
Mr. Hard's Sermon at First United
EvnnBellcal Church.
The pastor of the First United Evangel
ical Church, East Side, Rev. C. T. Hurd,
preached yesterday morning from the
Psalms, "He that goeth forth and weep-
eiu, ucuuug precious seed, shall doubt
less come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him."
Mr. Hurd applied the text to. the every
day task of sowing good seeds among
sinners, and, taking that view of the
text, said, In part:
"The metaphor of the text as It Is used
is of the sower going out to sow. Last
year his crop was a failure, and the har-
vest brought forth but little for his la.
bor,!n. tn.f ear,y spring, so he goes forth
"-""""b.J uuu. weeping lo urop tno lit
tle handful of seed; which he has left,
probably his all, Into the damp earth.
Then comes a glorious harvest as a re
sult of his perseverance, and. In the
words of our text, 'he comes "again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Can we not trace just these same dis
couragements and rejoicings In the task
of saving sinners? The labor that saves
and dispenses the life-giving bread must
be active and energetic. The cry of the
lost soul is a call for the strength of
your saving hand as much as for any
one's else, and the man who refuses to
respond to this cry of distress is held ac
I countable before the eternal home of God.
All such work requires steady action, and
so I say that If the lost are to be reached
the church must be more aggressive, oth
erwise it is blamable. Therefore, men
must bo enthusiastic and aggressive.
There are many Sunday school teachers
who go before their classes without a
particle of enthusiasm or life about them,
and they go through the lesson In a desul
tory, haphazard manner. 'Now, what re
turns can be expected from such actions
on the part of a person supposed to be
( a Christian? The children under their
( care will soon lose Interest, drop out and
( spend their vtlme on the streets. This
shows conclusively the necessity of en
thusiasm. The man who undertakes
Christ's work must love the erring and
sympathize with their sorrows. He must
show a brotherly Interest in their welfare
and treat them as brothers. By this
! means many will be saved. If men could
' bo made to realize the value In God's
sight of one soul they would surely pay
more attention to this higher duty and use
every good influence to draw In and save
the lost.
I "There are men and women In the
church today who are Inactive until put
on some committee. They do not seem
to realize that it Is every one's duty to
work In the cause of Christ All must
realize for themselves whether or no thl3
question applies to them, and then obey
as their own conscience dictates. Some
are not fit for this work; they are not
good themselves, but if they would pat
tern their lives according to the Divine
Light they would then be fit for the
work.
"Many are the discouragements which
the sower meets. He goes forth to sow
but finds the soil thin and poor and un
responsive. But the Bible teaches that
this is the chief work In life, and when
men fully realize this they will work to
overcome these difficulties and win. But
little things, seemingly insignificant, have
been the means of bringing many souls
to God, and a little seed of kindness
dropped here and there has yielded an
abundant harvest of good, Let us take
up the seed basket of the Gospel, then,
and go forth to sow in all soils, and we
will have a grand harvest In the world
to come."
"THE MEASURE OF A MAN."
Sermon on True Manhood nt Mixpau
Presbyterian Church.
"The Measure of a Man" was the sub
ject of the morning sermon in Mizpah
Presbyterian Church by Rev. W. T. War
die. The sermon was as follows:
"A man of fiery onergy and native force,
Elijah, the prophet of storm and tempest,
was soon to pass away. But ere he de
parts he would bestow his blessing upon
his faithful disciple Elisha, and, In the
words of the text, II Kings, ii:9, he says;
'Ask what I shall do for thee, before I
be taken from thee' And we may meas
ure Elisha and ourselves as we grasp the
question and note the ready answer of
the young prophet. Here is the oppor
tunity of a lifetime. And' whether he will
lose or Use it marks the man. Opportuni
ties arc common, so commonplace that
we regard them as without meaning.
They came to the E0 sons of the prophets
as to Elisha, but he alone saw what
they did not. To Elisha they were full
of meaning. As the birthright was valued
only by Jacob, as the teaching of the Son
of God was heeded only by the 11 disci
ples and not by Judas, so Elisha was able
to get the blessing which served, helped,
lifted him above his fellows. The Spirit
of God waits to bless us, to gird us with
new power, as we cut loose from sin, evil
company, and use this God-given mo
ment Else are we but driftwood to en
danger those near and about us.
"The man is measured by his choices. I
Elijah requests, and that choice meant no
more to Elisha than such as come to us.
God and man, time and eternity, our own
deep needs, urge us as surely. Here dr
never the requests are to be answered.
Such moments are crucial. What will
Elisha ask? The world says: "He cannot
choose aright; he is too narrow; he has
companled only with one man. Let us
see. We will take his measure, see him
play the man. Ah, he makes a great
choice. No greater was possible. He
asks for the blessing of the first-born,
that the office, work and power of Elijah
be his. Anything narrow about that?
Here is a choice of faith, large vlsfon, a
grasp of things eternal against things
fleeting. He sees and asks what many
with greater light fail to perceive or want.
Ah, what a man chooses Is his true
measure. His measure Is seen, too, in his
supreme desire. What is this? Is it self
ish? Effort for personal wealth, ambi
tion, indulgence? Is it the greed of an
Alexander, a Napoelon, a Burr. Ah, not
that measures the noble soul. His de
sire stamped on his answer Is, willing
ness to sacrifice. That mantle which fell
upon him was not for ornament, nor
glory, nor honor, but marked him for
service, duty, hardship, martyr-service.
Ah, not physical power, not mental keen
ness, but the supreme desire to serve
God In our day and generation, is the
measure and mark of a true man. Be
fore this all other standards shrink; but
Elisha's measure may be ours; his power
by us may be multiplied as we yield our
selves to God."
CinUST'S TRAVAIL OF SOUL.
Evening: Sermon by Rev. Alexander
Blackburn.
In the First Baptist Church last even
ing "Christ's Travail of Soul" was the
topic preached on by Dr. Alexander Black
burn, pastor. The text-was Isaiah 1111:11,
"He shall see of the travail of his soul
and shall be satisfied." Dr. Blackburn
said in part:
"The 53d chapter of Isaiah Is utterly
without meaning unless Christ is a suf
fering Savior. This is the keynote of the
whole latter part of the book, as also of
much of the whole Scripture. The chap
ter begins with a cry of despondency
and end3 with a song of triumph, but
between the cry and tho song is the vivid
description of the suffering Christ.
"The suffering was real, both physical
and soul-suffering, the latter even more
than Ihe former. We are told In these
days that 'there can be no suffering or
pain to a sinless being"; that 'all suffer
ing is because of sin, and therefore only
the sinning can suffer.' We admit that
sin causes all suffering, but it does not
follow that sinless beings do not suffer.
The drunkard's wife suffers far more than
the drunkard, the good parents a thou
sand times more than the dissolute son.
Indeed, the more sinless the being, the
keener the suffering. I do not believe
the picture that the poet gives of 'The
Man With the Hoe' Is a fair one; but
if it be true, degraded, anlmallzed man
suffers far less than the refined, sensitive
soul that looks upon him. Christ pre
sents the only picture of an absolutely
sinless man. and yet ho suffered a travail
of soul such as no other man ever suf
fered. "The life and work of our Lord should
forever silence the folly that teaches that
suffering is unreal, and that a sinless
being cannot suffer. Instead of there
being 'no pain to a child of God,' as some
would persuade us, it Is true that the most
intense agony of earth was endured by
the only begotten Son of God, and tho
only sinless beirig who ever walked the
earth.
"But what were the elements of this
travail of soul? First there was the sep
aration of the Christ from the glory of
heaven to come, to dwell among men,
'who, being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to be equal with dod, but
made himself of no reputation, and took
upon him tho form of a servant, and was
made In the likeness of men. and being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.' Such a
change must Involve soul-suffering. I
knew a young man in one of the most
refined and cultured Christian homes,
who left it all to go to India and live
among the most ignorant and degraded
as a missionary of the cross. The very
going meant soul-travail. He said noth
ing about it, but In his letters there was
written between the lines a story of lone
someness and homesickness that could
not be concealed. How often the Christ
went apart to commune with his Father.
And on one occasion he could not re
strain himself, but cried out: 'Father,
glorify thou me with the glorys which
I hod with thee before the world was.'
"A second element of his soul-suffering
was his rejection by those to whom he
came. There was no room for him at
the Inn. His brethren did not believe on
him. 'He camo unto his own and his own
received him not.' Once or twice in his"
life he gives utterance to this suffering.
What pathos in the question, 'Will ye also
go away?' and what a depth of agony
in his lament over his Nation's Capital:
'O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, thou that kill
est the prophets and stonest them that
are sent unto thee, how often would 1
have gathered thy children together, even
as a hen gathers her chickens under her
wings, but ye would not!'
"The chief element In the travail of
roul of Christ was in his atoning work.
The sharpest pangs of life may be In the
place of others. Lock into that most sa
cred garden of earth, Gethsemane. Thith
er Jesus went, and there he suffered an
agony of soul that no language can de
scribe. His disciples could not endurp
with him for an hour He cried out In
his. heart-longing. 'O my Father'' and
while this was before a hand had been
laid oh him, yet there came 'sweat as

great drops of blood.' He was bearing
the sin of the world. He drank the bit
ter cup for you and for me. Then follow
him to Calvary and witness his travill
of soul In the cry, 'My God, ray God, why
hast thou forsaken me?'
"Such was his travail of soul, but there
is another side to all this. This is not all
in vain. 'He shall be satisfied.' Wonder
ful promise! Mark the word used not
'contented,' but 'satisfied,' and there Is a
world of difference. Not one here today
is satisfied, though I hope many are con
tented. He will be satisfied with the
character of his redeemed ones. What a
source of hope in that for us! We know
not what we shall be, but we shall satisfy
our Lord. When he shal. look upon the
purchase of his travail of soul he will not
regret the price.
"He will be satisfied as to the numbers
of the redeemed. They are only a few
now, but the day will come when they
shall be as the stars for multitude.
One has said and none can deny It that
'the number of the saved, as compared
with the lost, will be as the number of
free, happy citizens Id compared with
those In prison.' He shall see of the
travail of his soul and be satisfied in
that day when all nations shall be gath
ered before him, a company out of every
nation and tribe under heaven.
"One other thought If we are to share
Christ's satisfaction and glory, we must
also share his soul travail. To be an heir
of his glory Includes the heirship of his
suffering. We sometimes forget this and
wonder why there is so little progress in
his kingdom. If we are to see a day
of glorious advance in the kingdom of
God, It will be when we are willing to
make some self-denials for him. The old
preacher-prophet said: 'For as soon as
ZIon travailed, she brought forth her
children.' "
