THE SUNDAY OREG ONI AX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 10, 1920
EUGENE, CORVALLLS PRESBYTERIAN STUDENT PASTORS NAMED
Rev. Bruce J. Gif f en Appointed to University of Oregon, Rev. L. Myron Boozer to Agricultural College.
PRESBYTERIAN student pastors
at Oregon Agricultural college
and the University of Oregon
have been appointed for the year.
Rev. J. Bruce Giffen received the
appointment at Eugene. Rev. L.
Myron Boozer, former minister at
Medford will work In closest harmony
with Rev. Jacob E. Snyder, pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Corvallis.
He will be director of religious edu
cation. Young persons attending the
college and their parents will find
Rev. Mr. Boozer to help in any way
that he can.
The appointments are the result of
a movement started during the last
meeting of the Oregon Synod and
came through the joint action of that
body with the Presbyterian board of
education and the session of the
central church.
Frevious to the installation of Mr.
Giffen at Eugene, a survey of the
student body had been made by the
various communions of the city, look
ing toward co-operative work and
eventually to the Installation of a
special worker by each communion.
This survey shows a large proportion
of the students associated with var
ious denominations, the number ex
pressing preference for tlie Presby
terian church being more than 300.
The matter has been under consider
ation by the leading churches during
the summer vacation, and while plans
are not yet complete, It is practically
certain that all will unite in the sup
port of a full-time worker on the
campus.
Following out the plans of the
churches and the Synodical committee
Mr. Giffen will devote himself to per
sonal work with the students on the
campuB, and this will be supplemented
by the teaching of a University
Bible class at Central church. It
being the hope that here may be
brought about a closer bond of fel
lowship and co-operation between
students and flaculty and Central
church. In addition to his work in
the student body. Mr. Giffen will
supply the pulpit of the Fairmount
church Sunday mornings and will
frequently he heard at the- vesper
services in Central church. Later in
the year he will take charge of re
ligious literature at the University.
Tie enters upon the work realizing
that while it is an exacting field it
Is one of great possibilities.
Mr. Giffen is commended to tjiis
position by the gift of a genial per
sonality; by long experience in evan
gelical work both in a foreign mis
sion field and long pastorates with
Oregon churches. His educational fit
ness is attested by a degree from
Princeton university and another
from Princeton seminary.
Mrs. Giffen who is expected to
Join her husband during the week, is

dent of the Women's Synodical Mis
sionary society. They will be at home

Dr. McElveen's Sermon Be
ginning; to Bear Fruit.
Committee Is Fornlif to Study
Political, Industrial and Social
Problems.
D'
R. McELVEENS anniversary ser
mon of last Sunday morning is
to bear fruit. He pleaded in his ser
mon for a political action committee
that would sttrdy political, industrial
and social questions and bring its
conclusions to the church for further
discussion and resolution.
A number of strong men and women
have asked to serve on that commit
tee. Dr .McElveen further asks for
an extension of the educational and
inspirational work among the boys
and girls and young people. The ex
ecutive council of the church recom
mends to the church the securing of
a director of religious instruction, an
assistant who would supervise the
church school and the activities of the
young people.
The Congregational minister fur
ther suggested in his sermon that the
church do a more thorough work in a
ministry somewhat social to its imme
diate neighborhood. At the meeting
of the executive council of the church
last Tuesday evening Dr. Haskins. the
director of the religious work depart
ment, told of the organization of that
community service committee and
sofeof its plans. The doctor pointed
out that many of the young men and
women of tlfe community had io op
portunity of meeting socially. The
board of deaconesses, of which Mrs.
J. D. Ripley is the president, reported
that her board would hold a eeries of
informal sociables at which the young
iipnnl r would have an onnnrt unit v of
i meeting each other under genial
chaperonage. So Dr. McElveen's ser
mon on "The New Churcb for the
New Day" started something at the
First Congregational church.
