(Special DltMtca to The Journal. t
The Dalles, Or., March 23 About 700
people were present af the exercises
at the unveiling of the tablet In Pulpit
Rock her yesterday. Professor F. H.
Grubbs of Portland read a historical
sketch of the early missionaries' and
their work at The Dalles. He quoted the
words of White Swan, an Indian, chief
of the Taqulna nation, who attended
the church congress in Portland in 1905;
it seems to me the missionary used
strong words wnen ne opened the Bible
to pck to the Indians. While he was
preaching the Indian chiefs sat smok
ing, not caring about hearing the gos
pei. mree or rour aays while ha was
preaching all women and chiefs felt
different. Just like something had melted
and hot had come down, and they throw
away their tomahawks and War bon
nets and fall down and ask God to for
glvo them. People were surprised to
see what kind of spirit came down, and
they looked at each other, and all see
the tears ran down each other's faces,
and then they all fall down and worship
God. After that all the Indian tribes
never fall together against the white
people. They were friendly after that.
But the Indians who had hot heard the
gospel were unfriendly. White Swan Is
true witness."
Professor Grubbs quoted from a letter
to a Portland paper in 1902 from Cyrus
H. Walker of Albany, as follows:
It Is Interesting to note that .when
a United Presbyterian church was or
ganized at the Warmspring reserva
tion it waa largely. It not wholly, com- i
posed of the Indians who professed con
version at The Dalles years before."
The -allusion was to. the great revival

Mies E. Waif Grubbs. a descendant
of Rev. Jason Lee, unveiled the tablet
yesterday. The words Inscribed on the
bronco tablet are:
"Pulpit Rock. Rev. Jason Lee. with
Rev. Daniel ,ee and Rev. H. K. Per
kins, founded Methodist Indian mission
March 22, 1838."
The tablet Is about 22 bv 24 inohes.
The revival waa attended on March
22. 1838, and the week following by
about 1,200 Indians. About 450 took the
sacrament This was the largest re
vival ever held among the Indians.
Dr. Rader. editor of the Pacific Chris

The large audience, most of them
standing for two hours in a cold wind,
were Intensely interested.
The program waa carried out as pub

the single exception that George K.

on account, of throat trouble.
