REV. 1. CASH IS
ASSISTANT
PASTOR
East Side Baptist Church Lays
Great Plans for Work in
Coming Years.
Great plans for future work are being
made by members of the East Side
Baptist church, of which Dr. W. B. Hin
son la pastor. A few weeks ago they
undertook the support of two mission
aries in India and now with the work
going ahead so steadily have added to
their church staff an assistant pastor.
Rev. Herbert T. Cash
Rev. Mr. Cash came to this country
from England in 1891. He attended Pa
cific college at Newberg and after tak
ing a course in London Missionary
Training college was accepted for work
In India. Poor health prevented him
entering this field, so he engaged in
pastoral work for the Friends church
and later held pastorates in California
and Colorado. He entered the Baptist
ministry in 1910 and, after four years'
work in Hermlston and Pendleton, came
to the Grace Baptist church of Port
land, where he served until the early
part of this year. He resigned from
Grace church after accepting a govern
ment appointment at the Benson Poly
technic school.
Both the pastor and his new assistant
have been personal friends for over six
years. Dr. Hinson and the congrega
tion are loud in their praise for their
new pastor.
The East Side Baptist church is now
in its new church edifice at East Twen
tieth and Salmon streets. The Sunday
school meets at 9:15 o'clock, the B. Y.
P. U. society at 6:15 o'clock and the
preaching services are held at 11 a. m.
and ? :30 p. m.
The New Testament
Church, Series Topic
A series of sermons on "The New
Testament Church" is being presented
by Rev. R- H. Sawyer on Sunday morn
ings, at the East Side Christian
church. East Twelfth and Taylor
streets. These discussions are proving
of interest and are attracting audiences
that fill both floors of the auditorium.
New members are being added at almost
every service, and the work of the sev
eral departments of the church is tak
ing on a new life. A special effort Is
being made to reach all disciples In
Portland-who are not actively identified
with some one of the local congrega
tlons.
Revival to Be Held
By United Brethren
First and Fourth United Brethren
churches are planning for a series of
revival services in the very near future.
First church is entering into a campaign
under the direction of Rev. Byron J.
Clark, whereby all the organizations of
the church will be enlisted in a drive
for the spiritual awakening of the com
munlty. At the Sunday morning serv
ice and at the New Year's eve watch-
night service at Fourth church the pas
tor. Rev. C. P. Blanchard, will discuss
the necessity of a revival.
