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,

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

20.

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."

A
MONG the most active of the or

tendance'of SO at the lesson period each

dav the class gave a social which
proved to be one of the most enjoyable
ever held in the church.
Mrs. C. Hansen, the class president,
has suggested a novel feature, a class
home department, which, it Is believed,
will enhance the work greatly. There are
many women in the community who
find it impossible to attend regularly
owing to home duties, and these-are
to be asked to Join the class home de
partment so they can be in active touch
with the class even though they can
not be present. They will be' given the
same lessons so they can be studying
the lesson at home while the class is
engaged in study.
The class has for its teacher Dr. J.
J. Wisrsins.

For the past five years, Hev. Mr.
Kantner has been -pastor of the Uni

but 'a few days ago he resigned. He
will occpuy the pulpit as suppiymin
Ister. however, until his congregation
finds another to take his place.
"And, Just think," enthusiastically ex
plains his wife, "there Isn't a dollar of
debt on the church. I know what church
debts are. I've helped to pay debts on
buildings, on pipe organs, on carpets
and on everything connected with a
church. The only thing to do with a
debt is to get busy and' work with a
will and get rid of It. A big debt will
take the heart out of the minister and
the congregation, too."
After the Kantners were married they
went East to Pennsylvania where they
lived for several years, then they re
turned to the West and have bad
churches in Salem, Corvallis and Seat
tle. Dr. Kantner was president of
Lafayette Seminary, Yamhill ounty,

man, all of Seattle. Miss La Verne and
Miss Constance Kantner and Mrs.

was the little girl for whom Colonel

procession in Salem while he stopped to
speak to her. She was an invalid them,
but is now well and strong, and through
the influence of a friend will go to
Boston soon to study music. Of her
sons and daughters, Mrs. Kantner
speakn with just pride.
The women of the Congregational
Church of Oregon speak in the highest
terms of Mr. Kantner's ability, tact
iind kindness. As the president of their
Women's Home Missionary Union she
has met with success in htr work. Two
years ago the local organizations sent
her to Kansas City to attend the
National convention.
"I've seen some wonderful changes
in Oregon," said Mrs. Kantner. in talk
ing over the years that have gone, "and
I've been busy all the time helping my
husband, educating my family, working
in the churches and missionary socie
ties and the time has gone quickly
The more we accomplish, the quicker
the time goes. My only regret is that
I couldn't have done more. The friends
I have made along the way have been
a source of comfort and pleasure."
