IX OKLAHOMA CITY
Popular RnptW Pastor of Portland
White Temple, Offered Oklidiuina
Oly Pulpit at Double Sulary
lltKtoii uihl New York Churches
Als.. After Him Ut 10,000 Per
Year.
Thnt it lmvs to preach and that
spectacular preaching is in demand
is shown by the Met that UKianoma
City Haptlsts have made every effort
to secure Kev. J. Whltcomb Rougher
to be pastor of White Temple church
at that place at a great advance In
salary.
He is also wanted in New York and
isoston by churches paying a salary
of $ 10.000 per year. An item from
the Baptist convention at Oklahoma
City, says:
Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, pastor
of the White Temple, in Portland,
Ore., may receive a call to Oklahoma
City. The pulpit of the White Tempi
In Oklahoma City is soon to be va
cant. Kev. W. B. Hlnson. the present pas
tor, is to go to San Diego, Cal. Dr.
Brougher has been approached by in
fluential members of the Oklahoma
church and offered a call at almost
double the salary he gets in Portland.
He preached Sunday night In the First
M. E. church. Oklahoma City, to an
audience that packed the great audi
torium to its doors. In introducing
him the pastor. Dr. Urchs, said:
"I came near being pastor of the
Grace M. E. church. Portland. Ore.,
once. Bishop McCabe notified me
that I was booked for that field, and
I signified my willingness to go. By a
turn of our ecclesiastical machinery I
was sent here and Dr. Clarence True
Wilson was sent to Portland. Ore.
"If I am to have Dr. Brougher as
a co-laborer, we will have to join
with the Baptists In getting him to
come to Oklahoma City. If I had the
appointing power, I would make him
pastor of the White Temple here, for
I like his way of doing things and
Oklahoma City needs him."4
In responding Dr. Brougher said:
"I appreciate these kind words and
all the courtesies shown me by the
people of Oklahoma City, but to me
there Is no greater place on earth
than Portland, Ore. It Is a beautiful
city with magnificent possibilities. I
love my work and my reople there.
I see no reason why I should make a
change. I hope you will all become
Baptists next year and come out to
Portland with the Northern Baptist
convention in May, 1909."
Rumor also connects Dr. Brough
er's name with a great church in New
Tork City and another in Boston,
both of which pay $10,000 a year
salary.
Spinning on the Common.
That historic b)t of ground known to
the world as Boston Commou has been
the background of many a strange
and picturesque scene. Surely not one
of the varied events which have been
acted upon It presents a quainter pic
ture than one wblcb took place about
1750. Mr. Francis Drake describes the
occurrence In his article In "The Memo
rial History of Boston" on "Life In
Boston In the Provincial Period."
In 1720 an attempt was made In Bos
ton to encourage the art of spinning
and to establish schools where the
process could be taught to the poor. It
was recommended that twenty spin'
ning wheels should be provided by the
town for the nse of children sent from
the almshouse and a premium allowed
of 5 for the first piece of linen spun
and woven.
In 1747 a society was organized for
the encouragement of the Industry, and
the fourth anniversary was publicly
celebrated.
"In the afternoon," says an old ac
count, "300 young female spinsters, de
cently dresstl, appeared on the com
mon with their spinning wheels. The
wheels were placed In three rows, a
female at each wheel. Weavers also
Ippeared In garments of their own
weaving. There was an Immense num
ber of spectators."
The Size of Great Men.
The Iron Duke has always been a
mystery. I have read that be was six
feet four Inches tall. I have read also
that be was only five feet six Inches.
Historians tell us he was anywhere
from five feet six Inches to five feet
eleven Inches. There are some things
seemingly very simple wblcb It is Im
possible to establish. This Is one of
them. Historians are still guessing the
height of Julius Caesar, the size of
Hannibal's bead, the weight of Alex
ander the Great and the general di
mensions of Solomon. Why. we are not
tven sure of the stature of George
"Washington. It might be believed that
Napoleon, Alexander the Great and
Jay Gould were of the same size, three
bumptious little chaps. And It Is com
mon belief that Charlemagne, Erllng
the Bold, Frederick the Great. Robert
Brnce, Sir William Wallace, General
Winfleld .Scott and Richard Coenr de
Lion were all top notchers, "Old Fuss
and Feathers." formed in the prodigal
ity of nature, leading In girth and
weight New York Press.
A Californlan's Luck.
"The luckiest day of my life was
when I bought a box of Bu'k'len's
Arnica Salve;" writes Charles F. Bu
dahn, of Trary, California. "Two 26c
boxes cured me of an annoying case
of Itching plies, which had troubled
me for years and that yielded to no
other treatment." Sold under guar
antee at Tallman & Co.'s drug store.
