We. as a church, have a right to claim Oregon as our home and to hold it for God and His kingdom, because we are the children of those who first settled this Oregon country, and held it for righteousness, educa tion and Americanism. Indians Seek Light. "It belongs to us by right of the first missionaries to the Ore gon country being Methodists. As early as 1831 and IS 32 three Nei Perces and one Flathead Indian appeared In St. Louis, Mo., to beg that some missionaries be sent to their tribes in Oregon to teach them about the white man's God and to help them secure our Bi ble. They were met by William Walker, a Christian half breed, who heard their story and at once wrcte a letter to a Methodist mer chant in New York city named G. P. Disosway. appealing to him for funds. Disosway sent the letter on to the Christian Advocate, where it was published. Presi dent Wilbur Fisk of Wesleyan uni versity. Middletown. Conn., read Walker's story an! sent word to Jason Lee. .telling him of the In dian cry for light. Toting Le accepted as providential the call to become a . missionary-to the Oregon Indians, and he at once selected Daniel Lee, his nephew, a minister, and Cyrus Shepard. a teacher, for companions in the great west and they journeyed to Missouri where they were joined by P. L. Edwards and C. M. Wal ker, both teachers. The company started on horseback for Oregon in the spring of 1834. They reached the summit of the Rocky Mountains June 15. where Jason Lee preached the first Protestant sermon west of the Rocky Moun tains, July 27. 1834, and they reached the Willamette valley at old Fort Vancouver on September 16 the same fall. - Comforts Larking. "They were not met at the river's bank by a delegation from the official board, nor permitted to stand in the receiving line for public reception, nor were they advised by the district superin tenaent or bishop.

" Trouble. Meat forms uric acid which ex cites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occa sionally. Yon must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; re moving all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, diz ziness; your stomach sours, tongui is coated and when the weather is bad-you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sedi ment; the channels often get irri tated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's ur inous waste get about onr ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon ful. in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders dis appear. This famous salts is made from the acid o grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used . or generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kid neys and stop bladder irritation.

They received many kind attentions from the Hudson's Hay company and courtesies from Dr. McLaughlin. They put their all into service for the Indians and the few white trappers, to make the kingdom of Oregon the king dom of Christ. "Oregon belongs to us by right of Christian pre-emptionr the building of the first church of any denomination, and the tint Protestant church west of the Rocky mountains. The first church building to be erected was at Oregon, City by Willamette falls. Here the first settlers carved the dimension timbers out of the logs and the finish lumber came on boat around the Horn. and It was built in 1843 and dedi cated in 1844. The value of the church' and Christianity in Oregon cannot be estimated. It has be come part of the standards, ideas. laws and ideals of the people who have stayed in this country through the years to establish this commonwealth. University Founded. "Oregon belongs to the Meth odists because ofstbe first Chris tian school, established on the banks of the Willamette. When the Lausanne anchored at Fort Vancouver 80 years ago last June with its ca'rgo of settlers, accom panied by Jason Lee. they left the boat with $600 in cash, col lected during the voyage, from tne passengers, and this money was spent to lay the foundation of a school for the white children of, the first settlers. - This school established became later Willara ette university. No human abil ity can ever estimate what . the ! influence ot Willamette university has meant to the generations that have passed through its sacred halls. It has tas-ht Christianity and standards and laws and ideals that have become a part of the life and thought pf the generation that places Oregon among the first states in the union in morals and education. "Our young men who went to service riring tie recent war. carried the best record for morals of all stales in the union. Only 2 per cent of our Oregon boys did not have a clean record. The laws of our state have been made in a large way by the influence of our university closely associ ated with our state house. Few states have grown up side by, side with a university. "Oregon belongs to us by right of the action taken at Champoeg February 7,11841. This historic spot marks the place where some Methodists and other Americans called a meeting for the purpose of settling 'whether this Oregon ecu n try should belong to the United States or to the Dominion of Canada. Many debates were held as to the wisdom of forming a government. A merirjmi nra Championed. "Jason Lee was the leader of the movement for Americas gov ernment, and the Methodist mis sionaries co-operated, and on May 2. 1843. it was settled by line being drawn in the dirt, and all In favor of United States gov ernment were requested to stand on one side, and those in favor of Canada to stand on the other. Of the 102 present. 52 stood on the side for United States government and SO for Canada, and of those 52 in favor of the Stars' and Stripes. 28 of them were Metho dists. "With such a moral and spirit ual giant for our ancestor as Ja son Lee. what manner of people ought we to be? What would be dare to undertake for the taking of this great commonwealth for the cause of God and His king dom? We can do great things if we undertake them. 'There are no Alps,'- said - Napoleon.- There are no impossibilities with us. we dare and do as did those great hearts that opened this country for the church, the university and the farmer and merchant. Let us prove God and see what we can do In His strength. CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS HERE Senator Conclude Cam paign with Two Talks in Salem Last Night Senator George B.
