Special Self-Denial Offering
Asked of Churchmen.
Growth of Eplaropalian HlHln at
Home and Abroad Said to Need
Kxtra Kffort to Provide Financial
Requirements-
E ISHOP W. T. SUMNER has appoint
D ed this as the day on which all the
Episcopal Churches of his diocese In
Oregon- will take up a special offering
for general mission work. Half of the
sum collected today will be sent to the
Board of Missions in .New York and
the other half will be used for local
work. The bishop stands strongly for
missions and it is his aim to arouse
interest among all the churches and
further the work. One - day's income
will be asked as a self-denial offering
from each communicant.
Four hundred thousand dollars extra
for missions at home and abroad before-June
1 is the aim of the Episcopal
Church. This campaign, so recently
launched, has resulted already in more
than S90.000 in gifts and pledges.
These range In amounts from 2 cents
up to J5000, and come from nearly every
section of America.
This fund is known as the $400,000
emergency fund; the Episcopal Board
of Missions is calling the members of
that church to prayer, and asking that
each one give at least one day s income,
or some equivalent self-denial offering.
Tbrr.ntrh th flfpnpv of the Mission
I Board, the various provinces, dioceses
and parishes of the church, an attempt
is beine made to bring this appeal to
every member, asking for this offering
in addition to their usual gifts for mis
sions. Every organization of the
church vestries, men's clubs, guilds,
woman's auxiliaries, Bible classes and
Sunday schools is working to make
each one feel the personal responsi
bility of this appeal.
The need for this fund arises partly
from the stringency due to the Euro
pean war, and partly from the success
of the church's mission work, especially
In China and Japan. Opportunities in
those lands have first been created and
then seized by the missionaries, and
the Board of Missions. has had to in
crease its appropriations steadily for
the work; the same is true in great de
gree In the home land. As a result, the
board in the past seven years has ac
cumulated a deficit of $254,000. The
other $150,000 is what the board thinks
will be necessary to finish the fiscal
year without a further deficit.
The board is bold enough to try the
faith of the church by launching this
appeal in these unsettled times, be
cause It believes that the European sit
uation creates one of the decisive
hours In Christian missions. It is the
call to advance, and the boldness seems
justified by the response which the
church is making. Laymen throughout
the country are attracted by the defi
niteness of the call for one day's in
come, and are rising loyally to the
emergency. Further stimulus comes
from the Church of England, which. In
spite of the exactions of war. is givirli?
greater sums for missions than ever
before.
The "emergency committee." which
has the direction of this campaign. Is
composed of men prominent in church
business and professional life Bishop
Lines, chairman; Bishops Greer, Rhine-
lander and Thomas, Drs. Sedgwick
Stires. Aiaop and Miel; Messrs. George
Wharton. Pepper, Burton Mansfield,
William F. Cochran, George Gordon
King and John W. Wood.
The seventh annual 'banquet of the
'Holy Grail." associated with the High
land Congregational Church, was held
on Monday evening. Sixty-two Grailers

era of the members. Emil Gross, the
newly elected knight commander, was
master of ceremonies. Greetings were
given by Verne Maxfleld. Toasts and
speakers were: "Why We Are Here
Orval Allison; "Heroines and Heroes of
the Present," Mac Maurice: response,
Miss Jennie Maguire; "Victories oi
Past and Future," Doeneaka and Wes
ton; "The Need of the Holy Grail.'
Arthur Akerson; "The World Without

tenance," Phil Nonkin; "Our Apprecia
tion of This Annual Occasion." Miss
Edna Murray. Andrew Akerson, esquire
commander of the Juniors, told the big
fellows what the "coming Grailers"
will do. O. A. Paulsen, delivered the
annual address, taking for his theme
"Bring Out the Best." One of the re
markable things about the Holy Grail
is that the castle holds the attention
of the boys and young men of the
Highland Congregational Church with
out any change from year to year. The
pastor. Rev. E. S. Bollinger, declared
that no Grailer ever can truthfully
say, "I did not know."

give some of the early history ot ui xp-

by my brother, Edward, and t-yrus

go back to 1850. when the north half of
the block bounded by Fourth, Morrison.
Fifth and Alder street was donated Dy tne
owners to be used for church purposes.
There being no church organization at that
time, the property was placed ' In charge
of trustees.
When mv father. Joslah Failing, arrived
Portland, in 1851, there were a few-
Baptists in the city, but not enough to
organize a church. When I came in lsDtt
Portland was a town ot aoout ijw auu
only three Protestant churches.
In KeDlember. lSi-4. Rev. W. F. Boyakln
and family arrived here, having come serosa
the plains, the route ny wnicn most ot our
early settlers came. The few Baptists who
were then here decided that It was time
to begin work. - Correspondence with the
Home Mission Bociety in isew ior re
sulted In the appointment of Mr. Boyakln
as a missionary pastor, with a salary ot
1800 per year, $S00 of which was to ce
paid by the church. In those days our
only communication by mall was by way
of Panama, taking over a monin eacn way,
and It was several months before arrange
ments could be perfected. In the mean
time services were held In a small school
house on First street, between Oak and
Pine streets.
When arrangements were completed, they
obtained the use of the courtroom, which
was then on the corner of Front and Salmon
streets, and It was In this room that 1 was
present at the organization of "the First
Baptist Church ot Portland. Oregon i erri
tory," with 10 members. May 6, 1655. Joslah
Fallinr anil Huram S. Pine were chosen
for deacons. Mr. pine soon moved away and
never was ordained.
Our Sunday services were held In tne
courtroom, but the week-day meeting were
at private fcousea. -tne evening meeting
were Al-wavs announced to begin "at earl:
candle lighting." The Sunday school was
organized a few weeks later. Our choir was
composed of mv sister, brothers and 10m
other whose names I have forgotten. Th
leader and organist was George K. IsewelL
Our "organ" was an old-fashioned Prince
& c.o.'s melodeon. which could be easll
carried under one arm. It belonged
Nathmlsl roe. of Hood River, and Is.
am told, still In possession of his son in
this city.
Mr. Boyakln remained but a few months,
and when he left service were dlacon
tlnud.
In May. I860. Rev. Samuel Cornellua. Jr.,
arrived and a new beginning was made.
Only three of the original member re
mained my father and mether and lister.
However, other had come In to take the
place of those who had moved away
died. A room was obtained In the secon
story of a building on Front street be
tween Washington and Alder streets. Thl
room was used during the week for
schoolroom. On Sunday morning
brother, Kdward. and I piled the school
furniture In a corner, swept and dusted, ant
arranged our own benches; and after th
evening service we would rearrange tor
the school. About thl time Douglass
Wright William was chosen to be th
second deacon.
The time had now arrived to consider
building on the lots on Fourth street. A
fund, which bad been procured several
years before, was Increased by liberal con
trlbutlons from the member and other.
and May 20, 1SS1, I aw the cornerston
laid In the foundation walls. It was onl
a small block of marble, with "1S61" cu
on one side. when the old building was
torn awav 1 found the stone In a Pile of
rubbish and saved lu It i still In my
possession, but I cave always thought I
should have been prominently placed I
our present building. A our funds were
still limited, only a portion of the lower
story was finished, and on January A, 1SR:
our first services were held in our own
building. The pulpit which was then uses
Is now in our library-room.
Mr. Cornelius resigned In 1864, much to
our regret.
We were too poor to hire a Janitor, and
I ku continued fn that position, but I had
al. able and willing assistant In Chariot
Cornelius, aon of the pastor, and we haa
our experiences, seme amusing and some
the reverse. 1 learned, however, to have
much sympathy tor a church Janitor.
After Mr. Cornelius left, services were
discontinued until the arrival of Kev. K. C
Anderson, who preached his flrdt sermon
January 6, 1S6Y. His text was a part ot
the twentieth verse or the second cnapter
of l.ehemiah.
The upper part of our building was com
pleted In ISttt. and the dedication took
place January 1, lu. ur. Anut-rson re
signed a year later, much to the regret of
members of our own church ana also tnose
of the other denominations. Dr. Anderson
left the church In a prosperous condition.
The dlfflclt task of laying the foundation
had been accomplished. Our duty was to
continue the good work which hud been be
gun under so many difficulties. We con
tinued to worship in tne old Duncing unm
1893, when we moved into our present one
Tnselfth and Taylor streets.
