RECALLS OLD DAYS James Cumming, Foreman on Taylor-Street Edifice, Is Be Watchful of Quality in War Times. Hale and Hearty at 85. WORK HOURS NOT AGITATED RAZING CHURCH Iff. Mm "3 ? Condition of Structure Erected 5 Years Ago Pleases Craftsman Who Says Heaviest Timbers Raised By Man Power. There was no agitation for the eight hour day. no "walking delegates" and ererybody worked, including father, when James Cumming, foreman, took charge of the digging of the basement at Third and Taylor streets in March, 1867. preparatory to building Taylor Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Ten hours of real work constituted a day, and Foreman Cumming, himself fond of lots of hard toil and too strong to know when he had enough, saw to It that construction operations on the then very pretentious building pro gressed as rapidly as pioneer condi tions would permit. Yesterday afternoon in his home at 694 Couch street, James Cumming. re tired citizen, 84 years old and still full of vim.- related some of the circum stances from memory, but he was un abls to clear up what has become of the deepest mystery connected with the wrecking of the old edifice the. loca tion of the cornerstone. "I think it will be found somewllere in the corner under the steeple," said Mr. Cumming, "but I don't just recall the exact location. I remember when It Was laid, too: but as to details of it. my mind is a trifle uncertain. I know Governor Gibbs was there and gave a talk and that it was on a Thursday in June of 1867; another I remember was there was a Dr. Watkins. The whole town, of course, turned out." Few Are Alive Yet. Mr. Cumming. Dr. Thomas Mann, who was a bricklayer; Donald Mackay, plas terer, later head of the ftorth Pacific Lumber Company, and a laborer, whose name is not recalled, are the only men who worked "putting up" the church building who are known to be alive. 'I was down by the church the other day," said Mr. Cumming, "and. you know, when I stood there, watching them tear down my work, it kind of made me think of the days gone by and of certain things that happened when we built the church in the long ago. For instance. I put on most of the roof, and they were tearing off the ehingles when I was there last week. I remember that we finished the roof" and got the building under cover in October. 1867, but portions of the build ing were not completed until several months later." One feature distinctly recalled by Mr. Cumming was that all of the work done on the church was paid for as It progressed. The mechanical force, con sisting of all the way from one to five men, depending upon the circumstances, was paid off every Saturday night; likewise, material bills were promptly liquidated when due. Home-Mndc Products f ed. Nearly all of the lumber was fur nished from a mill run by Hayden & Smith, now deceased, which was located on the east side of Front street, be tween Jefferson and Columbia streets; the sash and door work in part was done by a factory adjoining the mill, but Mr. Cumming himself did some of the window frame finishing under the shade of a row of six big maples, just across the street to the north. Inci dentally, Taylor street, while having been declared opened, was unimproved. The brick was furnished from a fac tory conducted by a Mr. Harkness. located in the vicinity of the new Post office building, around what is now Broadway and Park street. There was no contract for building the church. It was a big undertaking In those days, and Mr. Cumming laughed when he recounted that the Methodists had to employ him, a Pres byterian, to supervise the work. Dr. Mann alto was a Presbyterian, while Mr. Mackay was of the Methodist de nomination. Only Man Power TTsed. "We had quite a Job getting the heavier timbers and material into posi tion," said Mr. Cumming. "as we had only an old-fashioned derrick, operated by strong-arm power with which to hoist things, but we did it and got the build ing together in good shape, so that it lasted quite a while, and they tell me they found only one crack in it when they went to look over it before start ing the work of razing it." Mr. Cumming came to Portland in 1863 from Nashville, Tenn., and worked at his trade, that "of a carpenter. Among the buildings of which he was foreman of carpenters were the Bishop Scott Academy and the building at Third and Alder streets, first built for the Masons and for years used as their hall, but long occupied by the .1.

Corn sufferers gather round; get right up close and listen. Here's good news for you. The real "Corn Killer" is here at last. Ice-Mint, the New Discovery, made from a Japanese product, is said to surely and quickly end all foot misery. Hard corns, soft corns, or corns be tween the toes, also toughened cal louses, just shrivel up and lift off easy. It's wonderful. There is no pain or sorenwT. when applying ice-mint or afterwards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin. Think of it; just a touch or two of that cooling, soothing ice-mint and real foot joy is yours. If your feet are inclined to swell or puff, or if you have cracked or bleeding toes, it will take the inflammation right out and quickly heal the sore and bleed ing places. Ice-Mint prevents foot-odors and keeps them sweet and comfortable. It is the real Japanese secret for fine, healthy little feet. Every person who has suffered with stubborn corns or tender feet can ap preciate the cooling, soothing comfort that it brings; especially women whom fashion has decreed should wear high heeled shoes arid men who have to stand all day on their feet. Try it. Get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint from your Druggist today and give your poor, tired, suffering, burning feet the treat of their lives.

Berry yesterday preached his farewell sermon to his congrega tion at Kern Park Christian Church. This week Mr. Berry will leave for Southern California, where ha recently was called. As a parting message, Mr. Berry spoke of the "Safe Course" in life, the straight and narrow way and urgd his friends not to be diverted therefrom. He offered advice and suggestions for right and happy living. "Infidelity is unsafe." said Mr. Berry. "If there is no life beyond the grave, living according to the teaching of Christ will make you better and hap pier in this world. If there is another life, only obedience to Christ will guarantee it. Until infidelity can promise something as good as Chris tianity it will be a failure. "To enter in at the straight gate you should be very certain that you obey every command of Christ. You should not risk any substitution of man's ideas for what God has told you to do. Your faith in Christ should be strong, your repentance thorough and your turning from sin complete." Rev. Air. Berry said that all should rejoice that every condition of salva tion mentioned in the New Testament can be complied with in such a way that all will admit that it is safe. He concluded his sermon by saying that if all those who profess to follow t- Of 1 1 1- s r A3 iTtfi'liff im - -J James Cumming.

PATRIOTISM IS PREACHED Clergymen, in Practically all Pul pits In Oregon Will Urge Hear ers to Heed Nation's Call in Its Hour ol INifrt. At the outset of "Liberty week." iro claimed by Governor Withycombe, ser mons In Portland churches yesterday were largely directed to the patriotic needs of the time, and to the neces sity for supporting the second liberty loan. The premier announcement of the day was made at St. Mary's Cathedral at the morning service, when Father Edwin V. O'Hara told his congregation of the decision to purchase $5000 worth of liberty bonds. Father O'Hara's announcement fol lowed a sermon in which he dwelt upon patriotism and the service of dollars in the cause of America. He declared that a recent visit to Anterican Lake, or Camp Lewis, where thousands of soldiers from Oregon and the North west are now in training, convinced him that such unselfish sacrifice must be matched by the financial support of those who do not go to France and the trenches. Private Subscription I'rgred. In setting the congregation's quota toward the liberty loan issue. Father O'Hara announced that committees would be appointed to' solicit subscrip tions from members, and that nothing would be left undone to insure the rais ing of the complete fund within the next 10 days. The J5000 purchase of liberty bonds will constitute a portion of an endow ment fund for educational purposes, said Father O'Hara yesterday. At a conference with the parish advisory board several days ago the decision to make the purchase was reached. It is distinctly a parish Investment on the part of the congregation as a whole, and individual members are expected to purchase bonds on their Own account. At the First Presbyterian Church, at the morning service. Dr. John 11. Boyd suggested the idea of sacrifice and re ferred in a general way to the duty of willing financial support of the Gov ernment in the present war. Dr. Boyd is a member of the ministers' commit tee which arranged for the liberty loan message to be given through the media of Oregon's churches. Duty to Ood AsMrted. "No man, and least of all the Chris tian man, may ay of his property. This Is my own and I will do with it as I please,' " declared Rev. Harold H. Griffis, in his sermon at the First Chris tian Church. No man owns his wealth. No, he owes it. He owes it to his family. He owes it to his com munity. He owes it to his Nation. He owes it to his God." "The Gospel of Lincoln." and "Christ or the Kaiser" were the themes of ser mons dealing with patriotic duty, de livered -by Dr. W. B. Hinson at morn ing and evening services at the East Side Baptist Church. Rev. Edward Constant, pastor of Highland Congregational Church, de livered a ijermon on the theme, "Show ing Real Love for the Nation." Similar services were conducted In nearly every city and village of Oregon yesterday.
