Excerpt from The Home Missionaries The anniversaries of the northern Baptists were appointed to be held at Portland, Oregon, in May, 1896. The financial depression which then prevailed led the managers of our societies to abandon this plan, and the meetings were held in the East, at Asbury Park. Oregon was chosen originally, in order to commemorate the beginning of our denominational work there fifty years before, and especially the opening of the first Baptist church ever dedicated on the Pacific coast. This house was largely the product of the energy of my father, Rev. Hezekiah Johnson, who solicited money and toiled with his hands to build it. The little frame structure still stands at Oregon City, though long since outgrown by the congregation and no longer used for religious purposes. In 1845 my father and mother went to Oregon under the appointment of the American Baptist Home Mission Society.
