Allen Temple Churrh was
organised in 1949 under the
pastorate of the late Rever
end T.A. Sears. It was
named for the person re
sponsible for a huge expan
sion program of the C.M.K.
Churrh. I)r. J. Claude Allen,
now Bishop Allen. The late
Bishop F. L. Lewis was the
presiding Bishop.
The members of Allen
Temple came from many
other Black churches in Port
land organized at the lime.
Many of them were former
C.M.E.'s who had come to
Portland earlier to live. The
members of the rhurrh wish
to express their gratitude to
those churches for their
support and encouragement
in Allen Temple's early in
fancy. Like most rhurches it
was discussed in homes, talk
ed about organization on the
streets, and met in differ
ent places until it was es
lablished at N.K. 9th ?\ve
nue and Hancock with its
own rhurrh building. In 1962
it was relocated at 8th Ave
nue and Skidmore, the pres
ent location.

M ost people understand love
to mean sim ply love between

deepest level, love is an in

every person from b irth to
death. I t is a profound urge to
p reserve and extend life by
means of union with another
living force, and it expresses
its e lf through an exchange of
energy that m utually strength

"GOLDEN AGE CRUSADE
FOR C H R IS T "
«
Religious Hindu people
have a custom and tradition
that as soon as the eldest
son can carry on the re
sponsihilities of the family a
father has fulfilled his obli
gallon to his ancestors, es
perially if he is a Rrahman.
He should r e t i r e
from
the life of a householder and
spend his life in devotion to
the gods. Such men used to
live as hermits in the lor
ests, but even if they remain
in their homes they under
take to devote their remain
ing years to meditating and
worshipping God. A small
proportion of them berorne
"sannyasi" or holy men,
travelling about, slopping in
village courtyards, exhort
ing people to greater de
voutness, and quoting inapt
red passages from their sa
cred scriptures. They carry
begging howls anil are given
ford or small gifts by which
they live.
"The true sannyasi seri
ously seeks to free himself
from himself. He would not
think of anything as his
own, not even his body or
his thoughts.
"He does not want to be a
separate individual, for he
knows that the self apart
from God is nothing. His
only life is in knowing and
loving God."
Remember these people
know nothing about our
wonderful Christ, His teach
ings ami great promises to
those
who OBEY
HIS
WHOLE INSTRUCTION.
Yet there is no tradition
in Christian lands of holy
penpk- going about in ones
or twos, or groups like the
d iscip les, doing Christ's
command ments. It is a great
zeal of mine to start such a
tradition. It is my resolution
to form a “GOLDEN AGE
CRUSADE FOR CHRIST',
a movement ol the very
devoutly religious people,
freed from families and
home ties, property and the
confinements of occupation
who will attend retreats,
and follow the example of
Christ STRIVING TO DO
HIS W H O I. E INSTRUC
TION AND MIRACLES.
Such persons will not go
about with begging bowls;
after all, we have our Social
Security checks. At first
Christ sent His disciples out
by twos, “without purse or
script." Later He said take
purses ami a change ol
clothing. Many w ill, of
course, go about in camper»
ami mohik- homes, ‘roughing
it smoothly', evangelizing
ami giving of their means to
help the needy. Bui serious
|y we seek out the very
devout, the "worthy ones”
who know they must do
GOD’S WHOLE WILL and
Christ's instruction to enter
the kingdom of heaven. Ac
