iOonyOgfet. im. by Louts Klopachj VOS AKGELES. CaL. July 3.-At this Mason of patriotic Jubilee, when the great one* of our nation'* history are recalled, the preacher chooses for his theme the.career of Marcus Whitman, throngb whose heroism and seif sacrifice the great empire of the northwest waa added .to our national domain. The teat is Matfbe*' xxL 42. "The atone which the build era rejected, the name is beesme the bead of the corner.” Tomorrow we shall celebrate our natfoaul boUday. lAt m« preaent to you today a aamc which might to tie familiar to as ait. but which Is wldotn ptacxxl In the rank it opgbt to have ok the roll of the unttoe's heroes. While, wa honor the DMn who cleared away the debris and dyg out the foundation m our uatlMial aplt*! Jet us spare, tuo. a few words of praise for a man to wuosa daring and perseverance tt is t it not several

helplessness. Like the pilgrim fathora be obeyed the direct summons which came to him Hi the voice of many thundering* to carry Christ’* message of salvation even onto the nttermoet part* of the earth. But Marcu* Whltuaa and Ssmuei Parker dared croaa the American continent because from the faroK Willamette valley came the •tory of the bitter need there waa for the gospel of peace to he preached to the Indian war chiefs with scalping knives and tomahawks at bait*, who, by their action*. *aid: “We need the white man’s book of heaven. We need

the white man’s Christ."

To describe bow that Macedonian cry of helplessness came to Marcus Whitman. tot me transplant you In Imagination back to the little frontier town of 8L Louis. Mo-, and, like the shadow on the dial of Abaa. torn back time until the year 1832. We will suppose. In order to make the wild, weird scene we are about to describe more vivid, that the old Indian fighter, and territorial governor, up to 1821. and the United State* superintendent ■of the Indiana, from 1821 to 1888. Gen•eral William Clark, la spending a social evening with two of bla old friends, who followed Lewis and himself on their famous Journey of the fgr northwest. Suddenly a meaaenger •raps at t^e door, lu answer to the .gruff call. “Come In." there enter four Flathead Indians. Two of them are aged warrior*, two young stalwart •braves. "Where are you from, my men?’ asked the general, eying them from bead to foot. "From the murmuring waters of the Columbia? Impossible. From the Pacific shores? Nay, nay. that cannot be. For what did you come? For the white man’s book of heaven? What, didst thou to travel 3.000 miles to hunt up the white man’s book of heaven when the representatives of the ’ "udson Bay company have for yean* been buying your fureT’ “Yea." uiuwerad the Nex Petcea Indians. “We have come 8.000 miles for the white man’s book of heaven. Will you give It usF’ But though the three wine men. coming to seek the newborn king in the Jerusalem capital, never made more stir than did the four Flathead ludians coming to find tie- white man’s Christ in the Missouri frontier town of 1832. yet even there In t|tot St. Louis frontier town they could not find the white man's book of beav en. These Ktatbeod Indians found there the white man's sins, tint not the white man's God. Let me ntwr road to you the strangest valedictory ever given at any place. The two older Indinrfe who came on this mission of seeking the white man's God had died. When the two younger braves were about to depart for their own faraway wigwams one of them hi Indian eloquence spake these words, which were published in the little frontier paper of that rime: “I came to yon over the trfO 'at many moons from ttoe setting sun. You were the friends of my fathers, who hare all gone the tong way. 1 came wjth an eye partly opened for more light for my people, -who ait in darkness. I go back with tooth eyes closed. How can 1 go hack Min'd to my blind people who alt in darkness? 1 made.my way to yon with strong arms through many enemies and strange lands that I might -carry back much to them. I go bprk -.with both arms (broken and empty. 'My -people sent one to get the white •man's book of heaven. Yon took me ■where you allow your women to dance m we do not ours, and the book was not there. Yon took me where they worship the Great Spirit with candles, and the book waa not there. Yon Showed me the Images of the Good Spirit and pictures of the good land beyond, but the book was not among them to tell ns the way. I am going back the long sad trail to my people of the dark land. Yen make my feet heavy with gltoa. and my moccasins win -grow old in earrytog them, yet the book to not among them. When 1 tell my poor blind people after one more moon m the big council that I did not bring the book no word Till be spoken by our old men or by oar young braves. One by -one they will rise up and go out In silence. My people will die In the darknaaa, and they wBl go on the long path to other hunting ground;i. No white man will go with them ami no white man’s book to, make the way plain. I have no more words.** It was the psbllcation of these words, copied In the esstern papen. that made Marcos WfciUmAi heed the cull «f the Ne* Perce* Indians; It was the publication of tbaae words that nerved Whitman to consecrate all his life to giving the Flathead Indians the white man’s “Book of Life.” It was that reaoive to go in the name of Christ to the far northwest which made It poosi Me for Marcus Whitman to save Ore-

I gen to the I'nkm. '

l Marcos Whitman did not go to the 1 banks of the Columbia to save Oregon for the Union. He went to the north weet to save the red men for Christ. Wb«e God ctftls ns to one sphere* of work be will always open for as other

tion. His prophetic csm traveled on through the ceuturifSj and he longed to have that fair region under. Christian Influences and prespering under the white mkn’a skill and industry. He could hear the tramp of the oncoming generations, a* well as the ctvaklug of his cart wheel* by bla aide. Therefore, when Marcos Whitman, on the famons Fourth of July, 183d. with hi* young bride, spread the blankets upon the top of the Rocky mountains, with Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson standing afar off as guarding sentinels, •nd dedicated that western soli of God and hi* native land, like Paul, lie waa surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. And aa Columbus took possession of the new world in the names of Ferdinand and Isabella, who fitted out his small fleet, Marcus Whitmau dedicated this western soil to his two masters — to bis God ond to the United Ktate* government. All the national statesmen, both Iran* and cisAtlautlc. cured uo more for it (ban a pearl diver would care to carry around with him a cobblestone,"or a diamond merchant would care to preserve an ordinary pebble among his precious

Jewels.

Why, so useless was this Oregon region considered In 1842 that llnnlel Webster, then premier of President Tyler's cabinet was willing to barter off to Lord Ashburton the whole of the northwest for a few privilege* for the American sailors to fish for cod off the banks of Newfoundland. A few years before this, to prove bis utter ignorance of the intrinsic value of this laud of the northwest Daniel Webster, then the most powerful member of the United States senate, uucontroverted by Clay and Calhoun and Benton, made this astounding speech; “What do we want with this vast worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, deserts, of shifting sands and rlwinds of dost of-^cfictu* and prairie dogs? T« "what use could we ever bojx- to put these great deserts, or these great mountain ranges. Impenetrable and covered to their base with eternal snows? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast of 3,000 miles, rock larand. cheerless and uninteresting, and not a harbor on it? What use have we for such a country? Mr. President, I will never vote a cent from the public treasury to place the Pacific coast one inch nearer Boston than It Is now.” Ah. me! Am I going beyond my right In declaring that Mar cos Whitman, kneeling upon the top of the Rocky mountains*On the Fourth of July. 1836. and taking possession of that western coast for God and the United State*, was an inspired states-

man;

Hot Marcus Whitman had more than Inspired vision and opened ears. He had a consecrated, noble Christian heart, as weU a* a clear brain, was a gospel missionary who was ready. If necessary, to die If by his death he coaid only accomplish' the work wbkh Gad had given'him to do. In older to save Oregon for the Union. In oddwinter. alone, be rode straight this continent. He defied the g -elements aa wcH aa savage tribes, the terrors of the snows and the precipices and cxfHU ss well sa the Indian tomahawks. After the Hudson Bay « Tonal ft wos unable to stem back Immigration It took another Tt decided to Import It* own Toys! English subjects from Canada and gradually crowd the Americans to the wail. It tried to do with the Amer loans as fhe Americans of the east did With The Inffians. The tactics adopted by the Amer toms ■fcward the Indians were Imitated by the Hudson Bay company. It began setXftng Oregon with Ita own Triends. In the bojie that If a treaty tbetvmen the United Wales and England itoould he negotiated, leaving the possession of. the country to be decided by popular rote, the English ■wHtiers would outnmnher the Americans. Whitman no sooner learned the nature of the scheme than he act out. winter though n waa, for Washington to pot the government on Its guard and warn It against negotiating any treaty by WMdh the position of Oregon would be affected That lonely rifle from Oregon to Washington In toe w 1842 Is a story of personal Intrepidity and patriotism which ought to be imWouid yon and ( be willing tor oar country and our God as Marcus Whitman sacrificed? Would yon and I be willing. If necessary. to give op our all and lay down our lives In suffering greater than any soldier ever suffered upon the American battfeOeMs? Not only do we admire M&rcfls Whitman as a patriot and a hero, but as a lover and a husband, and it !■ a remarkable fact that bla public was in no small degree dne to the qnaL tries ha displayed In his private Ht'.v Do yon ask bow the one could con tribute to the otbdr? I answer by rap Idly drawing three verbal ptetores Scene tbs first: We are now standing to the little village chnrch of Pratts

Narciaaa Prentiss, daughter of Judge Prentiss, Is the bride. In the presence of tbeir village friends tbe young couple become one. Tbe congratulation* art spoken. The words of farewell are now said. The bride and groom turn their faces went, and tbe lopg bridal trip of 3,0(10 miles commences. Beene the second: We are now at tbg frontier station of Fort Laramie, of tinPlatte river. Tbe Uttie caravan of transcontinental travelers are here toM that they must unload their wagou* and strap all their goods upon pack mules and horse*. No wagon had ever yet crossed tbe mountains, snd no wag on could. Up to this year do white woman had ever crossed the continent There were two bride* In that party. The one was the young wife of Mkrcu* Whitman; the other was tbe bride of his missionary associate. Rev. Bamuel Parker by name. “I tell you that wagon cannot go through.” I hear one of the rough nfembera of the caravan say 1 now see n set look ui>on tbe face of Dr. Whitman. HI* Jaw* snap abut with the grip of a steel trap. Then glint comes Into his eye as be say "But I tell you that wagon will go through. These ladle*, my wife and Mr*. Parker, must not be compelled to ride horseback all that way." A muttered oath come* from the Up* of the rough man at the fort as be say*: "All right. We will try to pull It through." And pnll and posh and lift that wagon through those men did. They dragged It over tbe mountain* and across the prairie* to lighten the Journey of two yonng women who a* bride* accompanied their husband* to faroff missionary field*. Scene tbe third: It is the year 1848. We are now standing In tbe White House of our national capital. The president of the United State* 1* John Tyler. He is smooth faced, tall and sjmre of frame. The second member of this notable group has a huge, massive body, a leonine face. He 1* one with looks expressive of the description given by n famous English Jurist: “He is the most magnificent physical as well as mental specimen of his day and generation." He Is the questioner. He Is Daniel Webster. The third member of the group looks like a rough mountaineer. He Is clad in skins. HU hair Is uncut. But be U one of the Immortals of bis day. He U Marcu*

Whitman.

As we'stand In the corner of the room I see a strange scene Tyler and' Webster, the two leaders of the American government are belug driven back and back from their oid positions of statecraft by this seemingly untutored man of the backwoods. Then, like Paul before Agrippa, I sfee Marcu* Whitman step forward, and bear him aay: “Mr. Secretary, you know not what yon are doing. Better, far better. liarter away all the wealth and the sovereignty of the New England state* for a few Newfoundland cod than surrender to England the priceless/ trrais urea of Oregon and the strategic position of tbe far northwest" “Bab.” answered Daniel Webster with acorn, “what U tbe use of Oregon to tbe Union? That land 1* wholly Inaccessible. A wagon road could never be built across those mountains.' Then, as Richelieu turned upon his king, I see Whitman turn and bear him triumphantly aay; “Mr. Secretary, that is a grand mistake that baa been made by listening to Interested persons. Six years ago 1 was told that there waa no wagon road to Oregon, and It was impossible to take a wagon there.

threat I took a wagon over that' road, and have It now." “Is that so?” said Webster. “Then Oregon must be saved to tbe Union." And so I find in these few words that tbe devotion which Marcus Whitman gave to his wife v by compelling tbe men to carry his wagon over tbe Rocky mountain* was one of the-mighty mean* of helping to save Oregon to the Union, proved that the far northwest and the east were not separated by Impassable barriers. And it furthermore proved that all men’s greatest and truest successes are always dependent upon their faithfulness In the common dutlea of ordinary life. "Marcus Whitman's love for bis country Is today aaaodated with the pure love which he bore Nardasa Prentiss. The true tucceoses by which we will be able perhaps to do some great act for our country will lie dependent upon bow we fulfill tbe little duties of everyday domestic existence. How shall we close this Fourth .of July eulogy upon a great nation bulkier and tbe savior of the far northwest? By finding him seated In the gubernatorial chair of Oregon?
