On a bright July morning more
than fifty years ago, a stately ship
sailed out of New York harbor,
bound for the distant waters of tlio
Pacific ocean, having on board a
bright and courageous young wom
an who had heroically abandoned
all the comforts and refinements of
home to devote herself to tho work
of a teacher in tho chen wilds of
Oregon. Two years previously, her
lover, Rev. Jason Lee, had estab
lished the first mission on this coast
and had collected a few of the na
tives and begun teaching them the
rudiments of that old story, "Peace
on earth ; good will to men."
In due time, after weary months
of voyaging, tho good ship reached
the su6res of Oregon, and landed
this adventurous pioneer in 1837.
A few weeks later, tho re-unlted
lovers wero married, and, looking
back over tlio lapse of half a century,
ouo may imagine the rustic simplic
ity that characterized their nup
tials.
No doubt "Tho eolden hours on
angel wings" flew over these self
consecrated lovers, until all too soon,
came "Death's untimely frost," and
the fair young wife and mother,
with her baby on her breast, was
tenderly laid to rest, in the unbroken
solitude of a strange country far
from home and friends, within
sound of tho murmuring water of
the lDvely Willamette, under the
shadow of the mournful pines.
A stranger wandering among the
lonely moss and vino covered
mounds in the old cemetery came
upon an outline of this story, and
memory, going back to childhood,
recalled a little memoir of this pio
neer heroine published perhaps forty
years ago. Sho sleeps on a beauti
ful elevated plateau, commanding a
delightful view of wood and hill
and stream and almost under the
shadow of majestic Hood. There,
on a mossy tablet of marble the
Inscription almost illegible Is the
pathetic stery:
"Beneath this sod, the first ever
broken on this coast to receive the
bodies of a white mother and child,
lie tho remains of Anna Maria Pitt
man, wife of Rev. Jason Lee, and
her infant son. Sho sailed from
New York July 1830, landed on this
coast, June 1837, was married July
1837, and died June 1838, aged thirty
flvo years."
Teacher v. Sunday.
In Our Day, Professor Ballantlne
makes a grand protest against Sun
day traveling in general, and that
of the teachers' excursion to Cali
fornia last Summer, in particular.
Referring to the Itinerary which
gave Sunday, July 15, to "overland
stage ride in tne Sierras," and Sun
day, August 8, to travel and sight
seeing at Manitou, he says: "It
seems to me too bad that a train
load of our teachers, those upon
whom we depend to form the char
acters of our boys and girls, and to
whom they look up with so much
affectionate reverence, should scat
ter broadcast over the country, an
advertisement of their Intention to
spend two Sabbath dys In railroad
ing, steam-boating, carriage driving
and miscellaneous sight-seeing, and
should invite all who desire health
ful recreation, good company, and
the cultivation Of travel to join with
them." Professor Ballantlne felt
that, as a teacher, he must protest
against this desecration. Accord
ingly he addressed four letters,
courteous in tone, one to the Com
mittee on Transportation, tho other
three to gentlemen holding high
positions in our public school system
inquiring if something could not be
done to dissuade the excursionists
from this objectlonablo feature of
tuo proposed excursion, only one
replied, and he, tho railroad official.
He said that the railroad companies
could not then change the schedule
time, nor would they be able to ob
tain the consent of a majority of the
teachers to stop over twenty-four
hours in some little out-of-the-way
place. Ho added: "This may not
be to the credit of tho teachers, yet
such is. I have no doubt, the fact.'
We hope it is not the fact, yet the
whole transaction emphasizes the
necessity there is for a wide-spread
thorough revival of public conscience
on the subject of Sabbath observance.
