BAPTISTS OPEN NEW ASSEMBLY GROUNDS AT COLUMBIA CITY
L Young Folk Today Start Campaign to Raise $10,000 to Finance Project. Summer Meeting Will be Held From July 27 to August 8.
TWO HUNDRED Baptist young-persons
from Portland and vicinity
serobly grounds at Columbia City, Or.,
Memorial day as a step In preparation
fcrr.the summer assembly of Oregon
Baptist young- persons to be held
there July 27-August g. The young
folk will start today on a ten -day
campaign to raise 110,000 throughout
the" state to finance the project of the
new assembly grounds.
This organization last year met at
Gladstone Park, and while there made
persistent requests for a permanent
place of meeting. This plan has
spread throughout the Baptist
churches of Oregon until recently
when a part of the Sommerstrom ship
yards was purchased for Baptist as
sembly grounds. The grounds consist
of five acres of gently sloping land,
making a rise from the Columbia's
bank. Docking and wharf facilities
make the grounds easily accessible by
boat. The Spokane, Portland & Se
attle railroad has a station within
one-half mile of the premises, and the
Columbia highway extends to the
west of the land but a few hundred
yards. As this place is only an hour's
run by auto or train from Portland it
bids fair to become not only a place
for the Baptist young people's gath
ering, but church excursions, summer
conferences and schools of missions
will find In it all of the benefits to be
had from water frontage and mour..
tain scenery, just adjacent to Portland.
In the original purchase of the Ore
gon Baptist convention from the Som
merstroms the Baptists acquired a
large building. 125 feet long by 60 feet
In width. The ground floor, which Is
unenclosed, will be used for out-door
assembly purposes, end the upstairs
will be made into a "Boys barracks."
Negotiations now in operation will
give the Baptists use of the Palace
hoteL a 4-room hotel for the con
venience of girls and married people.
At the entrance of the grounds is the
office building, a six-room substantial
structure formerly used as tne emer
gency hospital. This will be used for
administration purposes. All the
buildings have electric lights and san
itary equipments.
The date of the Baptist summer as
sembly has been officially fixed' as
July 27-August 8. Rev. O. C. Wright,
D. D., executive secretary of- the Ore
gon Baptist State convention, and
Rev. W. T. MJlliken, D. D., of Salem,

Christian Education Move
Meets Hasty Support.
Entire Communftles In South Rally
In Support of Cause.
ASHVILLE, Tenn.. June 4. Ac
cording to a local leader in the
Christian education movement of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south.
the concerted efforts of Protestant
denominations to increase their edu
cational holdings is meeting hearty
support throughout the south. Not
only the denominations directly in-
te rested, but entire communities are
rallying to the cause of Christian
education.
It is said that Jackson, Tenn.. Meth
odists have added .850,000 to their
church quota, after having already
given 850,000 in order to secure the
location of the proposed Methodist
Girls school in the Memphis confer
ence for that city. Jackson non-
Methodist citizens have agreed to
raise $250,000 as soon as the Metho
dists have completed their fund ajid
have taken steps - to assure the
school's establishment there.
Memphis, Tenn., has just raised
8600,000 within the last few weeks to
secure the location of a Presbyterian
college in that city.
The business men of Dallas, Tex.,
so appreciate the value and added
prestige to their city in having
Southern Methodist university in their
midst that they opened up their purse
strings last fall during the financial
depression and poured out $1,000,000
there to keep the Institution from
closing, as its financial status was
about to compel it.
Within the past month the busi
ness men of Abilene, Tex., a small
town of 10,000 people In the de
pressed cattle-raising section, placed
notes ln the bank for $350,000 for the,
immediate beginning of a new Metho
dist school to be located there.
The chamber of commerce of Sher
man, Tex., has made a standing offer
to the Methodists of the Sherman dis
trict to give $1 to the school for each
$6 the Methodists of the conference
put into their girls' institution there,
Kidd Key college. This means at
least $30,000 added to the $210,000
which the conference is proposing to
raise for the school. Sherman is a
cotton community center with two
other colleges, which it supports im
partially. Its population is only 12,
000. Birmingham, Ala., has just begun,
a community campaign to provide
$500,000 to $700,000 for Birmingham

Through an every-roember canvass

ern Methodists put on a drive to se
cure $33,000,000 throughout the church
for the strengthening of ' their 9a
schools and colleges. Methodism in
this section is organized to raise its
share of the big fund. .

dents at ten theological institutes,

according to information received at
Methodist headquarters here.
Among the recommendations, the
most remarkable change made by the
bishops at their annual meeting In
Portland, Or., Is the adoption of the
volume of the church and industrial

Rail, which combats this doctrine.

faculty of Garrett Biblical Institute

to be read by the 3000 young minis
ters and the students at Methodist
theological seminaries, is ln charge
of a commission created by the gen
eral conference of the church, the
chairman of which is Bishop Edwin
Hughes of Boston. The commission,
once in four . years, prepares the
course of studies to be followed. This
has just been passed on and approved
by the bishops who recommend sev
eral changes.
While Methodist authors predomi
nate, the course includes volumes by
Dr. R. H. Pattison. Professor W. N.
Clarke, Colgate university, Baptists;
by Dr. Washington Gladen and Pro-
