Back- to Its Own. , ?:- OLD ;TAYL0R CHURCH By Josephine DeVor Johnson, v I A a climax to the Oregon - State noneer reunion, . the most ' fitting mt rvice of last Sunday wa that held Jn front of the locked doorw'of the old Taylor street church, in honor of Methodist pioneering in a. Portland. This ; spot, the southeast corner -.; of Third and Taylor streets, was the one consecrated to religion by the erection vpon it by Methodists of the first church building of tms community. i It cost much money, labor and sac rifice and it was held in the-greatest Jionvr and affection. It was for many years the only church., so to. it cam s :1I the "earliest inhabitants, regardless cf creed, bringing their children with them, for all the religious and other public- - meetings. And in it , was wrought so much good that to this nay- it is regarded tenderly wherever i pioneer Oregonlan Is found. . I Last : Sunday the congregation that gathered at the old corner under the great stained glass window, that com memorates the founder Rev. James H. Wilbur, comprised many notable pion ' ersr Their badges bore incredible date in. the 40'e arid the 60's, and they recalled with their greetings, "I was married here," "My mother's funeral aa here," and even, "1 wa converted here." yet now, after so many years, these good people were compelled to itand upon the pavement throughout the service, because the seats that they had bought for the church with their $wn money were denied them, t Bang ramiliar Hymsi. I f hey sang- together again the told hymns, and heard the old texts from the old bible. ',. i The first speaker was Rev. John B. Cullen, now of San Jose, Cal, an Ore gon, pioneer of 1847 and an Indian war veteran, i He went away from the Old home oyer 40 years ago, but he pomes back to his own now and' then, when the pioneers - gather here- an- jWhen he .reached Portland in 1847, "with his widowed nfplher, the late Jlrs. Otilla De Witt, his family found a place in the home of the hospitable John Waymire, where seven families were sheltered that winter in the dosed little log cabins that clustered among the giant fir trees. And yet in that cabin there was always room for the 4 i)Veaehr. He was Joseph 8. Smith. Methodist "exhorter" who -preached the gospel here before any ordained ministers came. . Long afterwards he went to congress as f representative from Oregon. He had married Miss Julia Carter; roost beloved by the children, who taught the very first Sabbath school in Portland. This was at the corner of First - and Yamhill streets; in "one of the- several cooper shops mentioned as s early meeting places which was about 14 feet square, built Of logs, without door or. window 'or floor, and was ' cleaned out every Saturday ; by - the teacher's devoted "young scholars, who recited the Bible to her on Sunday.

Outside of which he stood was not being used for the-pur-pose for -which it waa erected and con secrated by the pioneers of Portland. - It was fitting that it should be the Methodists who began th religious work on this BPOt, becausethey have been pioneers everywhere.

SOUTHESN FAGHF2C ' ', To th Editor of .The Journal! I wish to. make art appeal : through your valuable paper to the civic organ izations, churches - and ' societies of Portland- to protest against th show ing of the vicious photoplay, ' "The Birth of a Nation,".: anywhere in thi city, which we have been informed is planned to be exhibited here shortly. . The .film ha been ; denounced throughout the country by many em inent historians; and. in the country's most reliable publications, on the ground that it contains scenes untrue in history, misleading and revolting, especially designed , to convict ' the Union soldier and the colored man of unspeakable crime. ' - , I think, as American citizens, It should be our- highest ivic - duty to safeguard and protect the history and institutions of j this nation. In this play . there Is a crafty attempt on the part of the author to change the true date of the nation's birth. It was in Independence hall, in Philadelphia, in 1776, where representatives from the thirteen original colonies resolved that America should become a separate and independent nation. Thi Ktion was not born in th Civil War, nor at the reconstruction period. , Vot True to History. .-. We should protest against thi play because It has as its background the period of reconstruction, and by false representations, attempts to justify the cruelty resorted to by th Ku-Klux-Klan in drder- to Intimidate the freed man. It seek by false but vivid pic tures of the . horrors of colored dom ination and official incapacity to se cure the1 sympathy of the north and in cite in the north hostile legislation against the colored man. We should protest against this play because it stigmatizes that gallant class of men who saved this Union and made possible pur freedom, j:. : It plaxfes.a blot On the character of these men whose deeds and names should ever be kept in fond remem brance. By cunning perversion of the truth,, this play represents Union sol diers as aiding and protecting the col ored man in their acts of immorality. In one scene it shows ; soldiers club bing inoffensive; women and children if they dared to walk on the streets: and if a white man protested,' he was summarily shot.- . Says negro Ar Toyal. We colored people honor our old sol" dlers; we are grateful to them beyond expression. We desire that coming generations will reverently ! honor them. We fear for their fair names and deeds when In a public place they are held up, a thi play holds them up to ridicule an shame. V We should protest against these pic tures being shown here because they revive and Incite, race rancor and prej udice, f They of fer a false and erron eous excuse for discrimination and segregation. They poison the mind of the young, those with whom our young must live and work: out their destiny. They display the worst side Of the life of the colored people -not of. to day, but of the period immediately fol lowing the Civil War and character ise an entire race by the crime of a few. . - . - 7 - " r ' Another scene' show' a "burly" col ored matt pursuing an innocent white girl, who jump off a cliff and kills herself to escape him. The whole play ROUND TRIP 1M urn John" M. Scott, General Passenger Agent, Portland, Oregon Sir. and Mrs. M. O. Young, host at the Cherry Picnic, given at Oak laf Farm, near VVoodburn, Or., to the George AVrlght Women's Belief Corps, of Portland, Or, . ' ,. - - A cherry plcnia'waa given last Sun day, Jun 27, by. Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Young of Oak Leaf farm, near Wood burn, and the member of the George Wright Relief corps. No, 2, were spe cial guests of honor, - They went from Portland in a special car, and a number of . the guest cam in automobile. After being shown over th farm of nearly -1000 acre and 'through the cherry orchards a ' plcnio : lunch was given. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Mill and' daughter,' Helen; Mrs. Green, Mrs. Bow en, Mrs. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson, Mr. Huston, Mr. is a diabolical scheme of false impres sions, wrought by a master hand bent on prejudicing the public mind against the colored American, and utterly de stroying him. Another scene shows th pursuit and capture of the girl' assailant, hi trial by th clansmen, and -the - scene ends with the glowing embers of the fir where he has been burned. . Womanhood Defamed. The type of colored woman exhibited pre-eminently through the play ia the woman . who was acting a "house, keeper" for a northern statesman, and when Charles Sumner comes in contact with her at this . man' residence her conduct 1 bo immoral and her posi tion so palpable that he 1 mad to say on the screen, "Although I believe in human liberty, I cannot stand this" and he turn and- leave th house. All the colored men are .pictured in pursuit of the women of the opposite race. The play is viciously constructed. As citizens -of Portlaad, we should protest against this play because the peace and harmony, which ha existed between the races may be destroyed. I . know that you - will agree that th perpetuation of amity in community conditions depends entirely on respect ful friendliness of one race or group for another; also that you are favor able to the propagation of those things only which tend to strengthen rather than to weaken thi feeling of friend liness. Portland cannot promote prog ress When 2500 of. her citizens are. held up to public ridicule and shame. We know that we will not be making a sel fish protest against these pictures when such national character a Jane Addama, Governor Willis, Rabbi Ste phen S. Wise and President Eliot have characterized them a both untrue and Indecent. . " : " ' . .-. -' ..- .I -.: Should Voic Protest, While we may -not be successful as some have been in prohibiting the ex hibition of these pictures, and while our efforts may help y to advertiae the play further, I think w a citizen owe it to ourselve to enter a, protest and let it be known that the type of colored people shown and the Amer ican sentiment - expressed do not meet our approval. ,. -, - . : i s .
