Book Description
Excerpt from A History First Unitarian Church, of Church: Of Portland, Oregon, 1867-1892; Together With a Sketch of the Life of Rev. Thomas Lamb Eliot, Its and an Account of the Exercises of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary This history was first undertaken with the pur pose of preparing a historical discourse for the twen ty-fifth anniversary of the dedication of the chapel. But it grew beyond the proper limits of a sermon, and the historical discourse had to be an abridge ment of what is here given. It has been prepared with care from the records of the church and its va rions organizations, from the newspapers of the time, and from personal recollections of early members; and it IS published in order permanently to preserve a record which might otherwise easily become forgot ten or destroyed. Special thanks are due, for aid given in its preparation, to Rev. T. L. Eliot, Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell, and Mrs. C. W. Burrage. Appen dixes are added which give material that could not be suitably given in the course of the narrative.
