Cash was scarce In those days ano the early efforts to provide heat and light and other inciden tals, was a continual financial struggle Help sometimes came in unexpected ways. Women of the church helped raise funds and enough silver found its way from pockets of men who attended to keep the few financial needs of the church in the black There was always a Sunday School and occasionally a visiting pastor or a layman preached a sermon, but the small congrega tion was unable to support a full lime pastor. Early congregations averaged between 15 and 20 persons. In 1945 Ihe congregation and the church officials determined they were ready for a full time minis ter. Chaplain Gilmer, serving at the Marine Barracks, now OT1 sirved as pastor during the winter of 1945-1946. Laymen and visiting pastors assisted during the next three years. During that time a fulltime minister was sought but the little church, still had onlv one room with few conveniences, and there was no manse. No minis ter was found who was interested in coming to serve a congregation under those circumstances The members of Mt. Lake Com munity Church again went into ac tion in true pioneer spirit. A build ing committee was appointed. money came in and with the help ot one paid carpenter, men of the church donated labor and materials to build a debt-lree home for a pas tor, completing the undertaking by tbe spring of 1949. The Rev. J, R. DeLap. son of Charles DeLap. present Klamath County clerk, who had grown up in the community consented to be the first pastor. The Rev. and Mrs. De Lap and their family moved into tht new pastor's home. A year lat er the pastor answered a call to Redding and he was followed by the Rev. Arthur L. Rice. By 1950. the congregation of the HI Laki Community Church was crowding the walls of its original small home and efforts were turned to the construction of a new church. Contributions becan comfaie in Oregon State Representative Hen ry semen and Mrs. Semon dnnat.i ed the sanctuary and its furnish-1 ings in memory of a son lnsi in World War II. Money from others' living in the Mt. Laki community j built the educational unit. The cornerstone of Ihe handsome I new structure, built on Ihe site of, the original church, was laid onl July 1.1, 1952. The Rev. William Ainley and his family, now serving as missionar-; ies in Africa pastored until 1956.1 ladies aid for many vears. found time to suggest ways and means to raise needed funds and lo put her shoulder to the wheel. Or to omil the memory of D. A. Mc Comb. one of the early mission aries who traveled muddy roads with horse and buggy, in the sad dle, or often on foot to reach his pulpits. Mr. McComb. whose family lived here for many years, moved into the Mt. Laki Community in 1916, serving in any capacity where he was needed until his death in 1934. His work in the church was taken over by his daughter, the late Mary McComb. who served Klam ath County as librarian for many years Members of Ihe congregation, r.ext Sunday will serve a politick dinner following the morning serv ice. During the afternoon. J. L O'Donahtie will show movies of laying of the cornerstone of the present church. Ralph Hill will re call some of the church history and the congregation will sing some of the old hymns. - SAVE Oregon Food Plan WAY FOR MODERN LIVING Lef us save you money on your food bills.
