The old quarters, corner Mason and Alblna, became too small to accommodate the growing- needs. Besides a large- au ditorium, a more central location was desired, since so many members live in other parts of the city. In looking: about for property it was found that the First Universalist church building was for sale. A building- and finance committee soon arranged to purchase this beautiful church, which lies in central Portland and is well known from the fact that ex-President Taft laid the corner stone in 1909. ' The building has accommodations for all organizations of the church, six individual Sunday school rooms, Sunday school auditorium, lecture room, choir room, pastor's study. In the basement a spacious dining room and kitchen.

When the Sunday school space is thrown open the church will seat 600 persons. The recent success of Grace church after its struggles of past years, next to God's blessing, is due to the har mony and unity of action of all de partments. The men's organization, the Ladies' Aid, the' young people and Sunday school .til labored harmoni ously for the general good of all.
