THE third annual meeting of the
Portland Council of Churches
will be held Friday night, Oc
tober 20, at 7:45 in the First Pres
byterian church. The various co
operating Protestant Evangelical
churches of the city will send dele
gates to this important gathering,
at which the reports of the ten de
partments of the council will be
' given. Election of officers for the
ensuing year will also be held.
The Council of Churches was or
ganized June 23. 1919, and at the
beginning had seven departments.
The work tas gradually widened
out until ten departments are neces
sary to carry on the varied united
activities of the Protestant churches
which are in this co-operative move-
ment...
Dr. Joshua Sfcanfield, pastor of the
First Methodist church at that time,
was the first president of the or -
ganization. During the past two
years Amadee M. Smith has been the
leader of the movement. Ralph Mc
Afee was called from the office of
religious director of the Young
Men's Christian association to be
come the executive secretary and
served in' this capacity until in Jan
uary of this year, when he was
called to take up similar work with
the Kansas City federation of
churches. Rev. Ray Edwin Close
was then chosen to head the local
organization, coming to this work
from the pastorate of the Third
Baptist church.
The co-operative programme of
the council has met with increasing
fav6r and has opened the door for
greater achievements than could
possibly be attained by the churches
individually. The outstanding ac
complishments of the council during
the year have come through the fol
lowing departments: Evangelism,
which has led the churches in si
multaneous evangelistic campaigns,
Thanksgiving and Easter services,
and summer park meetings, at which
16,000 persons gathered; social and
industrial betterment, which con
ducts a home for. unfortunate girls,
with a Christian mother in charge,
and which has also held Industrial
conferences with competent leaders
of national reputation; survey and
comity, which by means of frequent
conferences seeks to render obsolete
sectarian rivalry and to avoid over
lapping of parishes and competition
between the denominations; depart
ment of religious education, which
has held institutes, conferences, and
training schools for the development
of Christian leaders; the Institute
for daily vacation Bible school in-
T-Tl f t ni-O havlni, nn ..n -nt 1 , a. . .
more than 100; the women's depart
ment, which was organized during
the year, and has led in the united
activities of women of the Protes
tant churches. ,
It is expected that there will be a
large attendance at the annual
