The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1897-05-25

The vestry of Trinity Episcopal church.
of Portland. has extended an urgent call
10 its service 10 Rev. d. Claiborne Garrett.
rector Of st. Marks church of this city.
The call is in effect a renewal of an inyi-
tatiou rendered DR.. Garrett by the Port
land church last fall and which was de-
cliRed. In the meantime the parish has
had the services of Rev. Mr.. Powell. who
has acted as rector pro tempore. so 10
speak the vestry not having filled the
vacancy.
The information that Trinity church had
again extended d cali to DIR. Garrett came
not from the gentleman himself, but from
other sources A representative OF the
Posi- Inteligencer called on the rector of
ST. Marks last night and asked If he had
accepted the call. DIR. Garrett At first de-
INJURED TO a request for an interview, but
finally said:
1t is true that the $estry of Trinity
church has again invited me to nil the
pulpit of that church. I have not deter
mined as yet what reply 10 make. / had
intended TO go to Portland tomorrow but
was prevented by other pressing engage
ments. Before l make up my mind shall
have TO visit Portland, but will not be able
to do this until Monday next. This is about
all there is TO be said of the matter"
The call from Trinity church came last
vices at st. Marks yesterday DIR. Garrett
called the vessry together and informed
them of the call and said that he had TAX
en- it under consideration
The invitation from Portland is most
urgent In character. 1t Is made TO appear
that the church is in need of DR.. Gar
rett's seryices--that the parish is ripe for
aggressive work under his leadership.
After thinking over the matter DR.. Gar
rett determined 10 visit Portland TO aScer-
tain the situation there and TO talk with
the vestry Of Trinity church regarding II.
But the death of Mr.. FriShee in the noun
tains near Skykomsh Sunday rendered
a postponement of the trip necessary.
DR.. Garrett broke the unwelcome news 10
the family of the deceased and will Of
ficiate at his funeral tomorrow. Thurs
day being Ascension day and pro-
gramme at the ommencement exercises
of the kindergarten training school at the
Congregational church Friday night de-
handing his attention, DR.. Garrett iinally
decided TO put OF his visit To Portland till
next week
Dr. Garrett is the oldest minister In Sc
attic in point of service. having been rec
tor of ST Marks for seven years past.
He came to Seattle from Davenport.
Iowa. and during his pastorate AT ST.
Marks he has been remarkably successful
in building up the parish. DIR. Garrett
has been figure in public life from his
entrance into Seattle. and has been ideu-
titled with countless enterprises of pub
lie character
A number Of inviting calls TO important
churches throughout the country have
been declined by DR.. Garrett, who IS a 10y
al citizen of Seattle, and who. If he de-
cdes 10 leave the city. will do 50 only
after II has been made clear to him that
his duty demands the sacrifice.
