Handsakers went to Kingston, Ja
maica, to take charge of a mission
church. Later they returned to Port
land and for 14 years this city has
been their home.
It was while a member of. the Lau
relwood church that Mrs. Handsaker
received a call as its supply and later
to its pastorate. She was oraainea
after she assumed the regular pas
torate, so that she might legally per
term the marriage service.
Bible School Established.
She is a member of the committee
on religious education of the Port
land council of churches and it was
through her activities that the work
of the daily vacation Bible school
was instituted in the Mount Scott
district and carried on successfully.
This Is a union project in which
all the Protestant churches of the
district take an interest. Mrs. Hand
saker was its principal and last sum
mer there wre 46 pupils and 30
teachers, volunteers from the various
Sunday schools. A three weeks ses
sion was held dally from 9:30 to 12:30
in the Arleta public school building.
It is probable that Mrs. Handsaker
will give much attention in the fu
ture to the development of similar
work in various localities of Port
land. One of the features of her pastor
ate at Laurelwood church was the
maintenance of a JS o'clock Sunday
afternoon vesper service, instead of
the usual evening service. This was
turned at times into a forum for
Christian citizenship, and because of
the time of the meeting, many of the
best speakers of. Portland were avail
able. The addresses givea at these
veopor services; covered a wide range
of topics, and tfrev have been tenmori
course In applied Christianity."
One of the most interesting of these
was a course on "The Stranger With
in Our Gates," in which agencies for
Americanization were discussed by
those who were directly connected
with their use. .
Wider Vision Developed.
"The missionary spirit has been
strongly developed In the Laurelwood
church," said Mrs. Handsaker yester
day in discussing her six years of
pastoral work. "The church has de
veloped a wider vision than that of
Its own local problems.
"I have often wondered whether a
woman could present the truths of
the gospel in a way that would ap
peal to men, but In reviewing rmy min
istry I can see that I have received
as many men into the church as
women.
"I have never been made to feel
that I was usurping a man's place in
the Christian ministry. The pastors
of other churches have always co
operated with me."
Mrs. Handsaker has performed but
two marriage ceremonies In her six
years' pastorate, but the funerals
have been so many that she has no
record of them. She has carried on
the regular pastoral work of visiting
the sick and the afflicted, comforting
the sorrowing, preaching and exhort
ing. And with it all. she has looked
after her family. There are three
children, Lois, who graduates from '
Franklin high school this spring and j
will then enter Reed college: Morri-
son, a Franklin high school boy, and
Elane, in the intermediate school.
