Methodist feet. 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.

the official board, nor permitted
to stand in the receiving line for
public reception, nor were they
advised by the district superin

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Les Meat If You Feel Back
avchy or Have Bladder
. . " 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.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive: harmless
and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink which mil
lions of "men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases.

found the parsonage when they
had made it out of the boughs of
trees and ferns and logs of their
own cutting, and their donations
vrere from the wild fruit and fish
of the streams of their own gath
ering. 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.

of this great commonwealth for
