In the preparation of this manual, the first issued by the church, the committee have exercised great care, and yet errors will doubtless be found, owing to constant changes of residence, of which the Session is not advised. Permit us to suggest that all changes of residence be promptly sent to the Pastor, or Clerk of the Session, giving full address.

HlSTOl^ICflli. Through several recent and excellent e.sstiys we were made quite fa- niiPiar with the earlier history of our church ; still it is deemed best to record in our first formal church manual some of these and other facts " made precious by the passing years." At the meeting of the Presbytery of Oregon, in Portland, on Octo- ber 3d, 1853, a petition from certain persons for the organization of a church in Portland was refeived and considered. The re(|uest was granted, and Rev. J. L. Yantis, D. D., who had preached for them a part of the time for some months, was appointed to preside and organize the proposed church. Tn the evenings of December 30th and 31st, 1853, Dr. Yantis preached in Portland, and the following day, 8al)bath, January 1st, 1854, after preaching from Luke 12: 32 — "Fear not, little flock" — the First Presby- terian Church of Portland was constituted and organized, witii twelve members, and the election of \Vm. P. Abrams and James McKeown as elders. la these services Dr. Yantis was assisted by Rev. George F. Wbitworth, who had recently arrived in Oregon, and who supplied the Portland church for two months, going hence to Olympia, on Puget Sound. On May 1st, 1854, Dr. Yantis reported the organization, and the church was taken under the care of Presbytery and enrolled as " The First Presbyterian Church in Portland." Such was the first organized Presbyterianisni in Portland, Oregon Territory. We may be pardoned if we digress for a moment to show its Pres- byteral and Synodic relationship. The Presbytery of Oregon was organized at Lafayette, Yamhill county, on November 19th, 1851, and it was dedicated in the following words of consecration and unmeasured faith in the " Head of the Church :" " Whereas, It has pleased God, in his divine mercy and good- ness, through many perils by land and sea, to bring us safely to this new distant and difficult, yet interesting field of labor, and has permitted us to meet this day in health and peace, and constitute ourselves into a Presbytery ; therefore — ^^Resolved — 1. That the tender mercies of God to usward are grate- fully acknowledged. "2. That we recognize these mercies as placing us under new and peculiar obligations to devote our lives to the work of the ministry, and as encouraging us to expect the Divine blessing on our labors. "3. That we feel deeply sensible of the existence of many and try- ing difficulties in our field of labor, and entire insufficiency as of our- selve:J, for the encumbent duties ; that the best and most wisely directed means iire in vain, without the Divine blessing ; and that we do, there- fore, humbly and earnestly invoke the presence of tlie Holy Spirit, to direct and sustain us in our efforts to advance the Redeemer's Kingdom in Oregon." Its founders were Rev. Lewis Thompson, of the Presbytery of Mis- souri, now living in Oakland, Cal., Rev. Edward R. Geary, of the Presbytery of Coshocton, Ohio, deceased September 1st, 1886, and Rev. Robert Robe, of the Presbytery of Zanesville, Ohio, still preaching at Brownsville, Oregon, where he has been for twenty-three ytars. The three ctiurches first enrolled under the care of the Presbytery of Oregon were — The Church of Clatsop Plains, on November 19th, 1851. The Church of Marysville (now Corvallis), on October 1st, 1853. And the First Presbyterian Church of Portland, on May 1st, 1854. Other church societies existed, but for some reason were not enrolled until later. The Church of Clatsop Plains was organized on September 19tb, 1846, by Rev. Lewis Thompson, and was the first Presbyterian Church on the Pacific Coast. The Synod of the Pacific was organized in San Francisco, Cal., in the year 1853; the Presbytery of Oregon, represented by Rev. Robert Robe, completing the constitutional number of Presbyteries necessary to constitute a Synod, and with this Synod our Presbytery was identi- fied until the organization of the Synod of the Columbia, in October, 1876. When tlie church at Portland was organized it was expected that Dr. Yuntis would be its permanent pastor; meanwhile, his services were 6 equally divided between the Portland Church and the Church of the Calipooia, his previous charge near his home in Linn county, 80 miles from Portland, whither he journeyed on horseback, twice each month, punctually, until an affection of the eyes compelled him to give up the Portland work. After this the church had only occasional preach- ing, aud fiually passed into a state of suspense. Presbytery, however, recognized its entity by mentioning it in each year's proceedings ; and at its meeting in Eugene City, April 29th, 1859, Rev. H. R. Avery was ai^pointed to supply the church in Portland on the 4th Sabbath in May, 1859, and to make report thereof at the next stated meeting of the Pres- bytery. The next meeting of the Presbytery was held at St. Helens, September, 8th, 1859, at which Mr. Avery reported that "Ae found Port- land an interesting field of ministerial effort.'''' During the fall of 1859, a meeting of Presbyterians resulted in an '$800 subscription toward ministerial supply for one year, and a request therefor was sent to the Board of Home Missions ; the Board promptly responded by sending Mr. Philip S. Caffrey, a recent graduate of Prince- ton, who reached Portland on June 4th, 1860, engaging at once in his work and preaching his first sermo^ik on Sabbath, June 17th, 1860. On August 3d or 4th, 1860, Rev. Louis Thompson, of Clatsop, organ- ized seventeen persons into a chnrch, who elected as ruling elders, Smith M. Hensill, Israel Mitchell and James McKeown (who was elected and ordained a Ruling Elder at the first organization.) At its meeting, September 7th, 1860, the Presbytery received the church and mentioned it in its records as the " Portland church reorganized." Owing to its considerable period of desuetude, the question may arise: Were the organizations of 1854 and 1860 sufficiently coherent to establish the continuity of the church from its first inception? On January 1st, 1854, James McKeown was elected and ordained a ruling elder in the First Presbyterian Church in Portland, and the church was duly enrolled by Presbytery. In August, 18G0, Mr. Mc- Keown being present, was again chosen an elder, thus participating in both organizations, and without any intervening act of renunciation by either Mr. McKeown, the church or Presbytery. It would seem, therefore, under our church polity, that the first or- ganization was preserved and transmitted by Elder McKeown, and the action of August, 1860, was simply a resumption. This position is in- cidentally strengthened by the following facts : The original name was continued, and after its reception in 1854, Presbytery referred to the Portland church every year in its records, and sent a minister to preach for the church in the summer of 1859, and finally, at its meeting in Sep- tember, 1860, received the church as the "Portland church reorganized." Under similar conditions, the Presbytery doubtless at the present time, would regard the reorganization as a resusGitation . Hence, we can rea- sonably assume THAT THIS CHURCH ORIGINATED ON JANUARY 1st, 1854. Mr. Caffrey was taken under the care of Presbytery, ordained sine titulo to t\\e gospelministry, and assigned to the Portland church on September 7th and 8th, 1860. With slight intermission, the Rev. P. S. Caffrey continued as stated supply to this church until January 1st, 1867, serving the church with faithfulness and ability, six and one-half years, when failing health necessitated a change. The first board of trustees was elected on August 20th, I860, and eousisted of W. S. Ladd, J. C. Ainsworth, H. A. Hogiie, J. M. Blossom and B. F. Smith. The comparatively small sum received from the Hoiue Board, indi- cates that the resuscitated church possessed unwonted vigor. Aid was sought only as follows : Foryear ending June, 1861 $400 00 " " " " 1862 300 00 " " " " 1863 200 00 " " " " 1864 200 00 Total $1,100 00 And the church became self-supporting on June 17th, 1864, building meanwhile — for that time — a remarkably fine house of worship ; and from the very beginning it has been a zealous and increasing supporter of all mission' wor It, and, indeed, of every worthy object. Brevity admonishes us to pass rapidly amid these historic scenes, and leave you, dear reader, to weave into our coarse fabric of current events, the golden threads of loving ministries, self-denial and " patient waiting in well doing," so manifest in all of the early Christian bands. In the summer of 1862, the lots on the corner of Third and Wash- ington streets were purchased for $1,500; plans for the church thereon were adopted March 7th, 1863, the contract for building was let on April 15th, 1863, for $9,500. The total cost of lots, building and furnishing is said to have been about $20,000. The ladies furnished the church and paid for the lots at a cost of about $3,500. Their's was phenomenal work and success ; the right royal, alphabetical and other entertainments they gave are still recalled and praised by the people who attended them. 9 Oil May 12tl), 18()4, Mrs. H. W. Corbett, whom many still re- member, J) resented the church bell, and for a quarter of a century, in loncs many times joyful and often sad, it has called the people to prayer and praise. The manufacturer of this bell said "it was cast from bells and cannon captured during the civil war;" and not long after, from its new place in the church tower, instead of death-dealing missiles, the old metal recast, sent forth in holier tones, the joyful news of peace re- stored and the Union preserved. Upon it also devolved the melancholy duty of announcing the tragic death of the immortal Lincoln. Yes ; we will preserve the old bell because of the hallowed memories which cluster about it. The church was dedicated on May 22d, 1864. The Rev. George H. At- kinson preached the sermon, and the pastor conducted the other exer- cises. On October 23d, 1865, the society was duly incorporated as "The First Presbyterian Church and Society of the City of Portland," by Messrs. W. S. Ladd, J. C. Ainsworth, O. P. S. Plummer, J. D. Holman and M. B. Millard. The value of the property then owned by the so- ciety was $25,000. After the close of Mr. Caflfrey's labors, January 1st, 1867, the church remained one year and eight months without a pastor or stated supply. On Aug. 6, 1867, a call was extended Rev. A. L. Lindsley, D. D., South Balem, N. Y., which he at first declined ; but was finally pre- vailed upon to visit the field, and arrived in Portland on July 31st, 1868. He found an acceptable church and entered at once into its work. His installation, which occurred on April 25th, 1869, made him the first reg- ular pastor of the church. He found the church with eighty-seven 10 members; seveu hundred and forty were received during his ministry, and he left an active membership of over three hundred. His sympa- thies were actively enlisted in every good cause, and all worthy men and measures received his encouragement and support. His mission work was pre-eminently successful. While pastor of this church he organ- ized twenty-one churches and dedicated twenty-two. All the Indian missions were the objects of his fostering care; indeed, he may properly be regarded as the father of Presbyterian-Indian missions in the North- west, including the Alaskans, Nez Perces, Puyallups, Umatillas, Spo- kanes and others. We can never correctly estimate the value of his work, so varied was its character and so wide the field ; but we do know that he labored for Christ, the Head of the Church, with remarkable singleness of purpose, zeal and ability. His long pastorate of over eighteen years in this church enabled him to gather and enjoy much of the fruit of his labor in his own church and in the wider field of his Christian usefulness. The gifts of the church, for all purposes, during his pastorate are recorded as over $240,000. His was, indeed, a fruitful ministry, and he a living epistle known and read of all men. His elec- tion to the chair of Practical Theology in the San Francisco Seminary led to his resignation as pastor of this church, and his farewell sermon was preached on November 21st, 1886. We desire to make grateful mention of Rev. Thomas Frazar, of California, for his many kindnesses and valuable aid to our church. His occasional visits during the past twenty years were greatly enjoyed, and his pulpit ministrations were very instructive and infiuential. His many friends in this church hold him in atlectionate esteem. 11 This was the only Presbyterian church in Portland and vicinity un- til early in 1882, when it became apparent that other churches were necessary to secure the best results. On February 12th, 1882, the following action was taken by the Session of this church: "Whereas, Efforts have been made in this congregation for sometime past for propagating the cause of Christ by forming new or- ganizations, and opportunity seems now offered for organizing a second church in Portland, and believing another church will materially bene- fit and advance the cause of Christ in our midst ; therefore, be it — '^Resolved, By the Session of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland, that the proposition to establish a second Presbyterian church in . this city meets with our approval, and we do heartily com- mend the enterprise to the members of our church and congregation, and hereby tender our aid in any way that may be desired, earnestly praying that abundant prosperity may attend the new member in the Household of Faith. ^^ Resolved, That a petition be prepared by the Session for circulation for the formation of a second church." Such a petition was prepared and circulated, and on February 19th, 1882, it was presented at a meeting of Session, with fifty signatures ask- ing to be dismissed for the purpose mentioned. The request was consid- ered, and being found in due form, it was unanimously — ^'■Resolved, That the petition be granted, and that a joint letter be given to petitioners dismissing them from this church, for the purpose of organizing a second Presbyterian church in this city." 12 Such was the beginning of Calvary Church, and its excellent rec- ord in all church work proves the wisdom of its formation. On June 15th, 1882, a petition was presented requesting the Session to aid in effecting a church organization at Union Ridge, W. T., and seven of our members were dismissed to take part in the organization. On September 15th, 1882, a similar petition came to the Session for a church at East Portland, and nineteen of our members were dismissed to aid in forming a Presbyterian church in that city. On November 6th, 1884, thirteen members were dismissed .to organ- ize the St. John's Presbyterian church in North Portland. The Presbyterian churches of Albina, Sellwood, the Fourth in South Portland, and Mizpah in Stephens' addition to East Portland, followed rapidly, and where recently but one existed, eight churches are now doing effective work; and to this remarkable development the old church has been able to contribute to a considerable extent, in both mem- bership and means, and we unceisingly rejoice in the increasing strength and usefulness of all the members in our confraternity. As early as 1881 the advisability of selling the old church property and building elsewhere was discussed, and in October of that year the north half of Park block 6, corner of Taylor and East Park, was pur- chased for that purpose. The location was afterward objected to as being too near to Calvary Church and that property was subsequently dis- posed of. In May, 1883, the quarter block now occupied by the new church, on the corner of Alder and Tenth streets, was bought for $10,- 000. In January, 1886, the churcli and congregation authorized the trustees to dispose of the old church jiroperty. This action was further 13 confirmed iu February, 1886, and on the first of April of that year the property was sold at public auction for|68,000. The quarter block on Tenth and Alder being insufficient, the par- sonage property adjoining it was bought in April, 1886, for $13,000. In the same month a meeting of the church and congregation formally decided to build the new church on the new site, and a building com- mittee was appointed to procure plans to be submitted to the church and congregation. Mr. W. F. McCaw was chosen as architect, and the plans were submitted and adopted in July, 1886. It was decided to build a stone church, the total cost of which, including furnishings, will be about $125,000. The chapel of the new church is now finished with a seating capac- ity of 563. The maiu church will be ready for dedication sometime next winter. The six-years' term eldership in this church was adopted on April 24th, 1876, under which two elders were elected every two years. On May 4th, 1888, this was changed to the three years' term to con- form to the deliverance of the General Assembly, The next election will occur in April, 1890. On December 30th, 1884, the "Order of Deaconesses" was established. At first there were but five, now there are ten, and they have become an indispensable auxiliary. They have a wide range of duties. Their ser- vices, while necessarily unostentatious, are exceedingly helpful to the pastor and useful to the church. We heartily commend the appoint- ment of deaconesses to all city churches. The sympathies of this church have always been actively enlisted 14 in behalf of the men of the sea, and the Portland Seamen's Friend So- ciety has found it from the very first one of its chief supporters, and we are pledged to a more active participation in this work than ever be- fore. • The "Bethany Missiou," organized in August last, and maintained in the old Seamen's Bethel, corner Third and D streets, has not assumed the position of strength and imjiortarice which the location warrants. More vigorous work has been projected, and its growth and usefulness will be enhanced, when this congregation shall have removed to the new church building. Bethany Missiou is destined to be one of the most important branches of our church work. Dr. Lindsley's resignation and removal to California to engage in his new duties, left our church without a pastor, and so it continued for nearly eighteen months ; meanwhile, the Presbyterian pastors in and about the city kindly aided us by preaching and otherwise as their own church duties would permit. Rev. R. B. Dilworth supplied our pulpit very acceptably for nine months from January 1st, 1887. His excellent discourses will long be remembered, and here he will always find a cordial welcome. On December 10th, 1886, the congregation appointed a committee, with full power to select and engage a pastor. Many names were sug- gested and carefully considered. No overtures were made, however, until January, 1888, when our present pastor was introduced to us by Rev. Herrick Johnson, D. D., through Dr. Lindsley, who cordially endorsed him. Correspondence with Dr. Jolinson quickly changed a favorable impression to conviction ; a congregational meeting was held, and a unanimous call was extended Rev. Arthur J. Brown, Oak Park, 15 III., on January 26, 1888. In response, Mr. Brown visited Portland, and we became acquainted. After bis return to Cbicago, tbe congre- gation again convened on Monday, February 27tb, 1888, wlieu the previous call was reiterated by a unanimous vote. Upon due consideration, Mr. Brown accepted the pastorate on March 5, 1888, and arrived in Portland on Saturday, April 7, 1888, j)reachiug his first sermon as pastor elect on the following day. Pres ■ byteral action was at once sought, and on Wednesday, May 9, 1888, Mr. Brown was duly installed pastor of the church. Dr. Lindsley preached the sermon, and Reverends Wm. Morrison, E. W. Brown, J. V. Milligan, W. S. Holt, Thomas Boyd, Donald Ross, W. H. Landon, D. D., R. Gilpin and W. O. Forbes assisted in the ser- vices, rendering the occasion one of unusual interest. Our pastor's faithful labors for the year have been richly blessed. The outward symbols are largely attended services, an added member- ship of sixty-two by letters from other churches, and eighty-seven on confession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and by gifts for all pur- poses of $76,523.25. The condition of the church is exceedingly gratifying. Aflection, de- votion, benevolence, harmony and hearty co-operation are manifested in all of its work. Let none be satisfied, however, with present attainments, but with devout thankfulness for blessings possessed, strive after better things and unceasingly " press toward the mark, for the prize of the high call- ing of God, in Christ Jesus."

THE SAN GRAEL SOCIETY. The San Grael Society, taking its name from the charming old legends of the Holy Cup, symbolical of Divine charity, is an association of the youug people of the church, corresponding to Christian Endeavor Societies, which have become so geueral throughout the United States. This society was organized Marcli 17, 1884, witli a membership of thirty-five (35). By the close of the filth year of its existence there had been entered on its roll book one liundied and fifty-five (lo-5) names. The work is divided among various committees, viz. : The Advisory, the Prayer Meeting, the Benevolent Work and Temperance, the Social Improvement, the Welcoming, the Refreshment, and the Flower. Prayer meetings are now held on Monday evening, excei)t on the third Monday of each month, when tlie evening is devoted to busi- ness, literary exercises and social reunion. These meetings are held throughout the year— discontinued only during the months of July and August. The San Grael Society stands ready to do its part in relieving any case of want made known to it. Its contributions to various causes every year are large and show an earnest and ijeiievolent spirit a)nong the members. 'J4 The object of the Society, as stated in the constitution, is to pro- mote " knowledge, fellowsliip and Christian usefulness among the young people." Its aim and desires are fittingly embodied in its motto^ "Be thou an example of the believers in word, in conversation, in char- ity, in spirit, in faith, in purity," and it opens its arms to all strangers and those who desire to find friends and fellow-workers in the one great cause of the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ.
