Adv. WINTON G.AXDERSON. BELL WILL BE KEPTl Relic Is Lowered From Taylor Street Church Building. HISTORICAL SOCIETY ACTS Service Has Been Given Since 185 0 and Many Who Heard Its Sweet Tones Are Surprised That It Is Comparatively Small. They took down the old bronze bell of Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday from the belfry where It hung for so many years, calling hundreds of thousands of per sons to the services held there so long. It will be placed among the great collection of pioneer relics, so full of interest to the state, in the Oregon Historical exhibits at the Public Auditorium building. Workmen for the wrecking company yesterday removed the bell from its position, preparatory to taking down the spire itself. The entire building is being razed to make way for a mod ern two-story structure designed to make the property more valuable and which will house certain Methodist in stitutions. This was recently ordered by the board of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, owners of the prop erty. This building was closed several years ago, when a decision was rciied to merge the concrftffat",n with Grace Church. Twelfth and Taylor streets, md since then there have been no serv ices therein. History of the bell is not entirely clear, but George H. Himes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, says that it first came to this city in the early part of 1850, and was hung in the steeple of a building at the north west corner of First and Oak streets used as a school and town hall at the time. His understanding is that it was put in place by Stephen Coffin and William W. King and perhaps a third man, name forgotten. From that building it was trans ferred to the first wooden structure known as Taylor-Street Church, Third and Taylor streets, and being of ex ceptional quality and tone, retained its position when the more preten tious edifice, now being wrecked, was put up. The' inscription on the bell shows that it is "From Meneely's, W. Troy, in. x ., Ib&U, It l of bronze, weighing 300 pounds and contains a remarkable amount of silver; its tone is mellow ana charming. Many who saw it yesterday, all of What Are You Doing for 11 Sill .1 them for the first time, were surprised to see how small It was, as it had always been supposed from the tone that it was much larger. CHINESE ART EXHIBITED Historical Lectures of Museum of Art Begin Thursday. The Chinese painting, "Wild Geece by a Lotus Pool," recently presented to the Art Association by Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, is now on exhibition at the Museum of Art, together with a small collection of early Chinese pot tery, lent by local owners.

These works of art are of a quite different character from the modern Chinese pottery and painting commonly seen, and have an esthetic quality peculiar to themselves. The lectures on art history given at the museum each Winter begin Thurs day afternoon at 3:30, with a lecture on Egyptian art, by Helen Putnam.
