Abstract
"At this hour, on this day, in this grove of oak trees, 100 years after soldiers of the Ninth Infantry commenced building Fort Simcoe, we also remember that the Rev. James Harvey Wilbur also came here and was dedicated to another form of building. This is 227 years after Methodism was born in Europe, 190 years after it originated in this nation [at New York]; 188 years after the first Methodist preachers came to that city, 110 years after the Rev. James H. Wilbur sailed westwardly and 96 years after he was appointed a teacher among the Red Men of the Yakima Valley. Now we can see the visible results of his labors in the churches throughout the Northwest, the schools, farming communities and in the homes. His work endures. We feel, but do not see, the invisible accomplishments."
