(By Rev. R. A. Hutchinson, pastor of Upper Valley United church). A community is known by its insti tutions. In making an appraisal of its work they are noted as its chief assets. Since Upper Hood River Val ley became a settlement its people have boasted in the strength and in fluence of its church, school and li brary. Accustomed to supporting such institutions in other places and ap preciative of their value, they set about to establish them here. The story of the development of the religious, social, recreational and edu- cattonal Interests of this community Is a story of sacrifice, persistency and glorious adventure on the part of the early settlers. Considerable publicity has been given to the organisation and work of the local community church. The Christian Century, Christian Her ald, Unity Messenger and other lead ing religious journals have broadcasted Its fame throughout the nation. In no other enterprise have our people shown more seal and vision than in their at tempt to build up a strong and efficient Christian institution unmindful of de nominational affiliation. To quote Bishop Paddock: "Upper Valley set out to found the new kingdom In a new way.” Conscious of the wasteful and un-Christian practice of trying to es tablish several churches in a commu nity hardly capable of supporting one church, “the wise men from the east” (and wise women, too!) decided to pool their religion, their finances and their genius and organize an interde nominational church. We do well to remember that the success of the ven ture was assured by the Christian statesmanship of Bishop Paddock and the Rev. W. L. Van Nuys. In their handling of the matter they demon strated the same spirit of brotherhood and altruism which characterised the ministry of the great Head of the church. The people responded mag nificently to their leadership. Narrow sectarianism was H<r_npi>e<l and mem hers of all denominations and no de nomination were banded together un der the banner of brotherhood and service. Mr. Van Nuys was gener ously supported by the national board of the Presbyterian church, and when tlu> beautiful and commodious church building was erected the Itoard made a liberal donation. Today we have one of the finest rural churches in the northwest. The church has a mem bership of abont 1150 and the four church schools have an enrollment of almut 400. The Men’s Forum during Its five years of existence has made itself felt in a most valuable way in the development ot the community.
