Darsie, Who Today Will Begin His Pastorate of the First Christian Church, at the Corner of Park and Columbia Streets. THE past -week lias not been such a busy time in the churches as was the week before, and yet many Interesting meetings were held and work for the future was outlined. Next Sunday will be Peace Sunday, and on that occasion a large number of the pastors will have special services. A new minister will be welcomed to day in this city. He will be one more capable man added to the list of em inent ministers who occupy the pulpits Ul Lire ICBUlJlg tllUlLUCS 11 til ... Portland is proving to be an inviting field for some of the prominent preach ers of the country. Today Rev. George F. Darsie. wiio stands high in the de nomination which he represents, begins his pastorate of the First Christian Church, corner Park and Columbia streets. Rev. Mr.. Darsie comes from Terre Haute. Ind., and achieved notable re suits while minister of the First Church of that city. Beginning with a small coterie of people, the organiza tion developed under his leadership to a membership of 1200, with over 900 In the Bible school, and is regarded today as one of the strongest churches in In diana. Rev.lr. Darsie is a forceful speaker, preaching- the gospel in its true 6im plicity. He is a Bible school expert and bas a talent for discovering hidden ability: also possessing the happy fac ulty of securing the co-operation of competent helpers. The Rev. Mr. Darsie is ably assisted In his work by his wife, who is trained worker in all departments of chugch activity. Rev. 8. M. Conner has been tem porarv minister of the First Church for almost a year, and the work has progressed' nicely during his apastorate. Of the new Christian Church pastor a prominent member of his former church writes: "He speaks .well, does not read his sermons. I did not bear a single poor one while he was here. He seems to know how to express appreci ation of others and has a talent for dis covering hidden ability. A better or ganizer never lived. When he came to Terre Haute there was no iinanciai xvstem in the church, no prayer meet ing. no missionary work, no Sunday school except a mere handful, without organization or Interest. He leaves a church with systematic giving in full operation, with all 1915 liabilities pledged and being paid; fine missionary societies, interesting prayer meetings, a well-graded Sunday school of 900. Mr. Darsie has done wonders under un favorable conditions. I predict great things for the Portland Church under bis leadership, .

The present building is crowded to overflowing. Plans for relieving the congestion must he taken up in the near future. Among other things of interest to the school was the election or orticiai aei .srat. to attend the State Sunday Fchool convention, the appointing of general committees to arrange ana re port at the May conference definite Vlans for Children's day and the an nual picnic of the school and the authorizing of added equipment for the primarv department.

The New Thought Temple of Truth, with Dr. Perry Joseph Green as teacher, is making rapid progress in Portland, having enrolled 50 new mem bers on Easter Sunday. This society e-tpects soon to be located in a temple of their own. About a year a:o the members of the Christian Endeavor of the First German Congregational Church num bered 4. which was due to the fact that quite a number of the members withdrew at the time Rev. Mr. Hopp. the former pastor, was compelled to leave. More members were gradually added until the membership totaled 68, at whih time a campaign was launched to bring it up to 100. . The Christian Endeavor was divided into two sides. The "Hustlers." led by Miss C. Burbaok. and the "Busy Bees." led by G. L. Repp. Each new member brought in counted five points, reading from the Bible at the meeting counted two points and speaking three points. The "Hustlers" procured 24 new mem bers and scored 495 points, thereby de feating the "Busy Bees" who got 13 members and scored 395 points. This Increased the total membership to 105 and has greatly improved the interest In the meetings. So successful has this campaign been that plans are un der way to increase the membership to 20. The campaign lasted two months and on April 20 the losers are going to give a programme aid supper for the enter tainment of the new members and the winning sid n The heads of the various depart ments of the Atkinson Memorial Con gregational Church met last Tuesday evening to disruss ways and means of getting rid of a "white elephant." as the pastor. Rev. Frank W. Gorman calls the debt. Mr. Gorman says: "The entire need for current expenses and the debt on the property is $2000. Tf this amount is raised by December 31 then we can begin the new year with a clean sheet. A committee com posed of W. Wheaton, W. B. Bethune and E. D. Allen are in charge of the work and have gathered around them a large group of efficient workers who will carry out the plan of campaign. The plan is to sell 1000 shares at $2 a share. Each person solicited will be asked to take so many shares, the money payable up to December 31. No other requests will be made this year If the total amount is subscribed. The officers of the church feel on account of the growth of the church during the past year that unless the question is taken up at once there will be an offset to the good work being done. The membership will rally to the plan and already a number of friends in terested In the enterprise have sig nified their willingness to help." ALBAXV, Or., April 10. (Special.)
