Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal
Church Hill today crlrbrate the 60th
anniversary of Its founding by a pro
Kramme of special services, which will
commence at 9:30 o'clock this mornlnff
and continue until late tonight. Uvery
branch of the church will bA repre
sented, and the historical feature of
trie organization will be prominent
throughout. Ir. Benjamin Young,
present pastor of the church, will have
charge, and at 10:30 A. -M-. Bishop
Charles W. Smith will preach Ills first
sermoa to a congregation In the North
west. having Just arrived to take
charge as resident general superin
tendent. Indications are that the church -will
be filled to overflowing at all of the
services, hut special attention and care
will be given to the old pioneer work
ers of the organization, several of
whom are living and will be In attend
ance. All of the former officers of
each department, the Sunday school,
class meeting. Epworth League and all,
are expected to be on hand to partici
pate. All who attend the Sunday
school will be presented .with a me
dallion souvenir, gotten out for the oc
casion by Superintendent A. -King Wil
son. Pioneer Members to Attend.
It will be a great day for those who
have been pioneers in the church,
among whom are Captain and Mrs. V.
S. Powell. Mrs. A. C. Gibbs. Martha J.
Patton. Mrs. M. A. Smith, S. A. Stans
bury. K. S. Aiken. Lot Taylor and John
Cullen. The latter was present at the
first Sunday school meeting ever held
In the church, and was then 10 years
old. He is In excellent health and lives
In a tent on some acreage near Hills
dale. He Is able to do hard work and
said yesterday that he never felt bet
ter in his life. It Is pretty certain
that he will not permit the Inclement
weather to keep him from the celebra
tion at Taylor-atreet Church today,
even though he may have to walk to
town.
"I tell you there has been a great
change since that day in 1848 when
Julia Carter called a lot of us young
sters together and organized us into a
Sunday school." said Mr. Cullen yes
terday. "Why. it was so far out into
the woods then that we children were
afraid to go out there except In a
crowd, although there used to be fine
fishing poles there, and we wanted to
go there often to cut pohs. After a
while. Miss Carter married J. S. Smith,
later a member of Congress. Among
those who were present on that first
Sunday school occasion and who are
still alive were Mrs. John Keenan,
Charles ParrUh. James King. Henry
Hill. Helen Hill, now Sirs. Captain
Powell; Adam McNamee. John Apper
son. Alvira Apperson-F'ellows. Char
lotte Trrwilliger. Kd Ross. Linas Koss.
Emma Ross-Slavln, Hiram. Terwilliger, I
Sarah Marker and Caroline Polk-Well-man.".
. .
"Father" Wilbur, first pastor of the
old church, was the ideal minister. In
the opinion of Mr. Cullen. who de
clares that everything Wilbur jut his
hand to prospered. It was Wilbur who
undertook the then great task of build
ing the first church edifice, which was
a very plain affair, about 30 by 50 feet
in dimensions, with a very noticeable
square steeple.
"I can well remember." says Mrs.
Powell, "of seeing Father' Wilbur at
work when he was putting up the old
building. Many a time I have seen
him grubbing out the stumps, which
were plentiful in that vicinity in those
days."
Influence Is Wide.
The church, throughout its long his
tory, has had a large membership. Its
influence has extended all over the
country, as, year by year, members
have moved to other places, so that
there is scarcely a town of any im
portance where one cannot find at least
one Methodist who at some time made
Taylor-street a church home.
"Father" John Flynn. the oldest liv
ing Methodist preacher in the North
west, will be a prominent figure at the
services. He preached one of the first
sermons in the old building, and has a
store of personal recollections about
the organisation of the church and of
the early times that Is remarkable.
At :30 o'clock, the Epworth League
meeting will be in charge of C. E.
Wagner, the chapter president, and all
of the former presidents, vice-presidents
and other cabinet officers who
can be present will participate. This
will be followed by the evening serv
ice, when W. r. J en ton and T. S. Mc
Ijanlel will deliver addresses of an his
torical nature. Mr. Fenton's paper will
cover the history of Methodism in the
Northwest.
At the morning and evening services
Professor W. H. Boyer will have
charge of the music, and there will be
a chorus of 60. voices one voice to
represent each year of the life of the
church.
DESIRES STATE LAW USED
fcugjceMs Simple Itemed)- for Women
in saloon Evil.
PORTLAND. Or.. lec. 11. (To the
Editor.) A I find a misquotation In
the daily paper of Thursday as re
gards the remarks made at the insti
tute held at the l.'nited Brethren
Church, will you kindly grant space
for a correction, and for a report of
just what was said:
There was no statement made what
ever that there existed a law to bar
all "Women out of saloons. There was
a resolution submitted by the resolu
tion committee which read as follows:
Resolved. We have watched with interest
the action of the ntv Council of Portland
ms regard the question of "women In
Mlooni," and we respectfully call attention
to an existing law. known as Senate bill
L'rtT. which reads as follows:
"Any person permitting a female under
"1 years of see to remain In or about a
)laee where liquor is sold, or selling or giv
ing liquor to auch female, la subject to a
fine of $100 to JIOOO: provided, that this
act shall not apply to a female accompanied
by husband or parent, or to any open pub
lic restaurant or dining-room." Approved
Februarv 21. 1!m.Y
We urge that this law be rigidly enforced.
'After this resolution was read a few
remarks were made. Flat ing that it was

the belief of the speaker that If the
curfew law and this age-limit law
could be rigidly enforced, that 11 would
go a long way toward solving the ques
tion the City Council was struggling
with, and that it ought to be enforced.
There was not a word said as to the law
forbidding all women from the saloons.
To any one who lias worked along pur
ity lilies, either In direct rescue work
or Dreventive work, this assertion will
appeal as containing a most lamentable
truth. It is me young, attractive gin
that is beins carried dwn to perdition
through the bacK doors rf saloons. And
anv thinking: norson can ecs-ily see that
If these young girls could be kept off of
the streets night?, and never allowed in

the "woman-in-the-saloon' question would
be reduced most perceptibly. 1 nis was
all that was said on the subject at the
meeting: there was no address made
concernng it: It did ask that existing
laws te e:itorced. Was that right or

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE
Appeal to Knd How Affecting Med
. leal Students' Kutures.
ST. JOHN, Or.. ee. 11. (To the Ed
itorsApropos of the controversy be
tween the physicians, especially what has
appeared In The Oregonian concerning
Dr. Panton and Dr. Joseph!, the public
would probable concern itself but little. If
at all. except that the average person has
a sense of fairness in his maae-up. and It
this senoe of fairness that prompts thi
communication.
In the controversy. Dr. Panton inti
mates Jhat a medical school is not neces
sary in Oregon, and Dr. Joseplil rather
hints that perhaps Oregon could get
along without a medical examining
board, and quite likely both are right in
that matter. But both seem to forget the
party most really interested the medical
student.
It will be remembered that for the Iaet
two or three years a large percentage of
the graduates of the Medical Department
of the University of Oregon has been re
fused a license to practice medicine in
Oregon, by the Board of Medical Exam
iners. These young men and women pre
sumably attended the prescribed course
of lectures, hospital clinics, dissections,
etc.. and paseed creditable examinations,
before graduation, as attested by their
diplomas.
Now it seems to me these young grad
uates have been greatly wronged, either
by the examining board or by the uni
versity. If they were not up to the ac
cepted standard of knowledge, both lit
erary and medical, they should not have
been graduated. They were wronged by
being allowed to pass, and if they pos
sessed the requisite knowledge and qual
ification for beginners in the practice of
medicine according to the accepted
American standard, they were certainly
wronged by being refused license.
Aside from the wrong done the young
physicians. It does not redound greatly
to the credit of the state of Oregon to
have one of her principal schools dis
credited by one of her principal boards,
and I think it is high time that thia mat
ter should be properly adjusted.
Somebody is at fault. There have been
lately too many failures among the re
cent graduates of our state medical
school. For the etate to set one standard
for its medical school and another stand
ard for its medical examining board,
both standards supposed to measure the
qualifications of medical practitioners, is
wrong and should be righted.
For a student to spend four years' time
and perhaps $2000 in money to obtain the
degree of M. D. and only to find it an
empty title, is an injustice.
It is not the purpose of this communi
cation to say who is at fault, in this mat
ter, or suggest a remedy at this time,
further than to repeat that It is unfair
and unjust to the young men or women
to be told by the faculty of the Medical
Department of the State University that
they.' the graduates, are well and duly
qualified to enter upon the practice of
their profession, and then the next week
to be told by the State Medical Board
that they are not so qualified! The state
cannot afford to tolerate such conditions.
