Benediction.
Rev. Geo. S. Mills gave very interesting
discourse at the North Church last Sunday
forenoon on "Marcus Whitman, patriot,
missionary, martyr" In 1913 there was
notable meeting in the White House in
Washington, President Tyler, Secretary of
State Daniel Webster and a rough-looking
backwoodsman. That backwoodsman was
Marcus Whitman, and he had come 5000
miles on foot and 600 miles by stage coach
to lay before the government the condition
of affairs in Oregon and save that vast terri
tory for the United States. Whitman was
educated as a physician, and when the call
came for missionaries to go to the northwest,
he and his bride, together with another new.
ly married couple, undertook the perilous
journey. They crossed the Rocky Noun
tains years before Fremont discovered
the pass across that range, and took over
the first wheeled vehicle that ever crossed
the continent. While on visit to a neigh
boring post Whitman discovered plot by
which the British government intended to
take possession of Oregon, and it was to
prevent this that he made the perilous
journey in the winter back to the States.
