In 1720 an attempt was made in Bos-

and to establish schools where the
process could be taught to the poor. II

town for the use Of children sent from

That it pays to preach and that
spectacular preaching is in demand
is shown by the fact that Oklahoma
City Baptists have made every effort
10 secure Rev. ]. Whitcomb Brougher
10 be pastor Of White Temple church
at that place at a great advance in
salary.
He is also wanted in New York and
Boston by churches paying a salary
OF $4,000 per year. An item from
the Baptist convention at Oklahoma
City, says:
DR.. J. Whitcomb Brougher pastor
of the White Temple, in Portland,
ore. may receive call to oklahoma
City. The pulpit Of the White Temple
in oklahoma City is soon TO be va
cant.
Rev. W. &. Hinson. the present pas
tor. is to 60 to san Diego, Cal. DR..
Brougher has been approached by in
fluential members of the oklahoma
church and offered a call at almost
double the salary he gets in Portland.
He preached Sunday night in the First
NJ. E. church, Oklahoma City, to an
audience that packed the great audi
torium to its doors. In introducing
him the pastor, DR.. Urchs, said:
Il came near being pastor of the
Grace NJ. E. church, Portland. Orep
once. Bishop McCabe notified me
that I was booked for that field, and
I signified my willingness to go. By
turn of our ecclesiastical machinery l
was sent here and DR.. Clarence True
Wilson was sent to Portland, ore.
"If l am to have DR.. Brougher as
a co-laborer, We will have TO join
with the Bapusts in getting him to
come to Oklahoma City. If l had the
appointing power, I would make him
pastor of the White Temple here, for
I like his way of doing things and
Oklahoma City needs him.
In responding DR., Brougher said:
II appreciate these kind words and
all the courtesies shown me by the
people of Oklahoma City, but to me
there is no greater place on earth
than Portland, Ore. It is a beautiful
city with magnificent possibilities. I
love my work and my people there.
I see no reason why should make
change. I hope you will all become
Baptists next year and come out TO
Portland with the Northern Baptist
convention in May, 1909"
Rumor also connects DR.. Brough-
er's name with a great church in New
York City and another in Boston,
both of which pay $4,000 a year
salary.
