| dc.description.abstract | The Presbyterian Church has been associated with Oregon's History from a very early date. That is sufficient excuse for this essay. In the persons of Dr. Marcus Whitman, Rev. H. H. Spalding and their wives and W. H. Gray, the Presbyterian Church came to this country in 1836, and has been here ever since. They and their successors sought two great objectives, first, to preach the Gospel, and second, to serve their fellows. The Whitmans carried on for several years until stricken at the post of duty. Whatever may be the verdict of friends or foes, it can be said of them they gave their all to the cause. Others have, in like spirit served since that day. The Whitman legend provoked Marshall to a great task, teh regret is that it did not provide him with a corresponding sense of equity. No single man saved Oregon, would seem to be obvious to all, but every man who like Whitman, and Spalding and Lee, and Meek and Kelly and Wyeth wrought and toiled for her and helped to bring about the present consummation. That is why the work of the church is important, and of interest to all fair minded men. The Presbyterian Church came early and has worked steadily and faithfully for the best interests of the subject in this brief sketch | en_US |
