t.tinnitii at Vancouver barracks,
wag the leading aplrlt In the Portland
T. M. C. .v. and for at least two years
f that nrlnd was lta president.
f The loeul Y. M. C. A. was organled
in 18. but its growth had been very
. in nn .trt tha time of General how
rd's arrival. Then both he and his
.M aintain M. Q. Wilkinson, who had
been active. T. M. C. A. workers In
Washington. D. C, allied themselves
with the movement here and began ex
tending thK work and getting far bet
ter results than had been gained up to
that time. , ,
snnn after General Howard's arrival
r ha aacured tho employment of Rev.
vr rv Thattln. as paid secretary and
quarters were fitted up where men
' rould pass their spare time among
healthful surroundings. While the re-
ifo-lnns work was almost the sole feat
'ure. the T M. C A. was soon recognised
She has been In the city for the past
week and has spent the time In an in
vestlgatlon of the charitable needs of
the city- Miss Bender spoke of Port
land's freedom from the abject poverty
of the east and said that 'now was the
time to wrttch,;plan and work to pre
vent such conditions as are in the
east.
Miss Bender then went Into the found
ing of the first guild In England, which
has now spread to an International or
ganisation. She explained , the purpose
of the guild, the distribution of new
garments to the worthy poor and to the
lnsu tutlons which do chrfritable work.
She also laid special stress upon tha
fact that tha organization is absolutely
non-sectarian. She said the name guild
was the cause of misunderstanding and
frequently worked against the Interest
of the guild because people thought It
was affiliated with some church,
Miss Bender spoke also of the splen
did aid which the Portland guild ren
dered at the time of the San Franolsoo
disaster and referred to the 2000 gar
as one of the most beneficial Influences I ments which were distributed last year.

"When General Howard r came to
, Portland," said George H. Hlmes, secre-
trv or the oreiron Historical society,
yesterday, "the Y. M. C. A. occupied
rooms on First street, between- Wash
lngton and Alder. One of his first steps
. was to secure Quarters at First and Ai
rier streets, above what was then the
largest saloon' "In Portland. These
rooms had beeflTa big gambling house
and it created much comment when
thev wero changed into Y. M.?C. A.
quarters. However, It gave the organ-
1 Isatlon the best opportunity possible to
do good in the pioneer city -which then
had a population not greatly In excess
r of S000,
"General Howard was always known
as a foremost, temperance worker, and
; this was one of the chief functions of
the Y. M. C A. General Howard him
self conducted many religious meetings
on the street and large numbers of men
who were losing their grip on life were
brought under his Influence and given a
new start. Often the meetings were
devoted entirely to the? temperance
-ause. The late John F. Caplea was a
frequent . Fpeaker along temperance
In closing she urged the need of a
greater number of directors to build up
and carry on the work of the guild.
Father H. G. McDevltt was the next
speaker and expressed his great Joy that
tha guild was non-sectarian, lie said
that charity was the essence of religion,
He referred to the splendid charity man
agement In Denver and expressed the
willingness of the. ladies of his church
to aid. in furthering ths work of the
guild.
The Visiting Nurses association was
represented by Mrs. Millie C. Trumbull,
who spoke of the splendid work of the
guild and applied the term "Result Test'
In reference to Its work. She said the
value of clean, new ' garments could not
be over estimated but urged a thor
ough investigation in all charity work.
Superintendent W. .T. Gardner of the
Boys' & Girls' Aid society, said that
in Almost every case received all of
the children's clothing had to be burned
and the' Institution had no way to sup
ply more unless it - was donated. He
told of tha valuable assistance that the
guild had given them In the past but
said that they needed Just 1200 more
