ANSWER TO RABBI WISE
JEWISH TESTIMOXT TO THE DI

ance of Jeans.
of
- The subject of Rev. J. T. Ghormley's
: isermon .at the First Christian Church last
night 'Vas "'Jewish Testimony to the Di
vinity of Christ." It was a reply to Rabbi
JWise's answer to Dr. Hill. Dr. "Wise was
Invited to be present, but did not attend.
Dr. Ghormley hoped that all Israel -will
"ultimately accept Christ. His text was
lrom John v:39-M:
Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think
i have eternal life, and these are they -which
terttfy of me.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed me; for he "wrote of me.
Dr. Ghormley said:
""The extreme liberality of Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, in offering his syna
gogue to the Rev. Mr. Mills, or to any
one honest in his convictions, in which
to set forth his views of faith or doubt.
has no practical bearing- on the Important
question at issue. The pulpit which up
lifts the world is more than an Athenian
Acropolis, where brilliant orators spend
their 'time in nothing else, but either
telling or hearing some new things, 'and
playing billiards with the stars.
"With the great audience which assem
bled to hear the Rev. Dr. Wise, on Frl
diay evening, April 19, I listened with
pleasure to his eloquent address. It was
admirable in spirit, elegant in diction,
massive in argument. However, when you
wefgb. his admissions concerning the
noble character of Jesus of Nazareth,
against his arguments that this same Je
sus was not the Messiah, you are left
in doubt as to whether the admissions are
not stronger arguments to the divinity of
the Christ than his arguments are proofs
against it. The rabbi will take it kindly
if we deny that this is the 'same old
fight' between Judaism and Christianity.
' He will not call It 'eloquent and copious
wrath' if we Temlnd him that Jesus
was condemned for blasphemy and cruci
fied for treason, and his grave sealed and
guarded as that of a public enemy; and
that now he is proclaimed 'a. noble man';
"Jesus, the living man, the teacher and
practicer of the tenderest love; the para
gon of piety.'
" 'In repudiating the Messlahshlp of Je
sus I do not stand alone,' said Dr. Wise.
It was his Messlahshlp which was In
question before the Sanhedrim of old. The
priests and rabbis of that day were
against him. Before the court of Pilate
he confessed that he was a King, but not
of this world, and the powers that be
were against him. If the splendid things
which are being said of him today are
true, then Jesus is what he claimed to
be. If Jesus had told his accusers that
they were mistaken, that he did not
claim to be the unique Son of God,
there would Tiave been no crucifixion and
no Christianity. 'The cardinal teaching
involved In the Messlahshlp is that or
the atonement for the sins of men by the
sacrifice and death and blood of the Son
of God, Jesus Christ,' is the statement
of Rabbi Wise, and then he proceeds to
state the premises upon which this doc
trine rests, according to his view of the
matter.
This is the doctrine of original sin, and
that an offering must be made to appease
God's wrath. Let me say once for all,
that the atonement rests on no such doc
trine. No one is to suffer for another's
elns, in the sense of being guilty of these
sins. But there Is a sense in which the
Innocent do often suffer for the guilty;
this law is well understood. That sin Is
In the world no one will deny. That
there is such a thing as forgiveness no
one will dispute. Love and mercy prompt
iforglveness, but justice demands the ful
fillment of the law. When the 'thou
shalts' and the 'thou shalt nots were
thundered from Sinai, the people trem
bled, for there was a law given perfect
but which they could not keep. The
tabernacle with Its priesthood and sac
rifices was a provisional atonement,
which taught 'that without the shedding
of blood there was no remission of sins.'.
Not that the wrath of God was to be
appeased, but that righteousness, In this
world of sin, could not be attained with
out the shedding of. blood. This lesson
has been taught not only by the sacri
fices on Jewish altars for 2000 years,
but upon fields made crimson with the
blood of heroes for the uplifting of the
race.
"We cannot now enter into the discus
sion of the philosophy of the atonement
the helng made at one with God. We
must deal first with the fact. The record
of this, the most stupendous fact of
history, is found in the New Testament,
written by Jews, disciples of Jesus. Early
in his ministry the 12 were chosen, and,
save one, they continued with him, beheld
him after his resurrection, and, for the
most part, sealed their testimony with
their blood. We are told the miracles
ascribed to Jesus and everything super
natural recorded in these books are
legends and myths. These positions have
been given up by their strongest advo
cates as being untenable. Four epistles
of Paul are indisputably his. While
these are epistolary, yet they have a his
toric background. Paul was a Jew. Time
and again he alludes to his own conver
sion. To preach 'Jesus the Christ, and
him crucified. to the gentiles was his
mission. In these epistles the miraculous
birth of Jesus, his miracles, his cruci
iixion, his death, burial, resurrection and
ascension are clearlv set forth, and to
attempt to show that the apostles of "Jes-n
sus did not believe In his divinity is to
juggle with words and to falsify history.
Rev. Mr. Wise repudiates the Messlahshlp
of Jejus because of what Jesus says of
himself: "The Lord our God Is one Lord":
'There Is none good save one. that Is
God'; I ascend to my Father and to
your Father, to my God and to your
God'; 'The son of man.
"Jesus was human as well as divine
as human as his mother, and as divine
qs his Father. If he was born In Beth
lohem, he declares: 'Before Abraham
was, I am.' He had, as a human, not
where to lay his head; as the Divine One
he possessed all things. As a mar he
grew in wisdom and knowledge; at the
Messiah he knew all things. Rev. Mr. Wise
attempts to explain the term 'virgin' by
saying the Hebrew word 'almah does not
moan 'virgin. Two hundred years before
Christ, learned Jews translated the He
brew scriptures Into Greek, and that
translation is called the Septuaglnt. The
word for 'virgin' in this, In Isaiah vli:14,
is 'parthenos, and It Is the word for
'virgin in Majthew 1:23. Parthenos
means a virgin daughter, pure, untouched.
Behold, a virgin shall bring forth a son.
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which, being interpreted. Is 'God with us.'
That Jesus made this claim for himself
cannot be evaded unless we reject every
booK-3f the New Testament, all the writ
ings of the apostolic fathers, the early
profane historians, the testimony of the
onemles of the early church, and deny
that testimony of the Lord's supper,
which proclaims his sufferings and bap
tism, which is emblematic of his burial
and resurrection.
"The inquisition of Torquemada cannot
be justified, and the persecution of the
Jews in the Old World is a matter of
regret, but with their history of wan
derings and awful sufferings before me.
I take up the utterances of the Man of
Galilee concerning the temple at Jeru
salem, its being trodden down of the
gentiles until the fullness of the gen
tiles be come in, and the scattering of
the Jews among all nations of the earth,
and I cannot evade the conclusion that
Jesus was a mighty prophet the Messiah.
I am glad that we have come upon these
happy times, that the learned among this
noble people are claiming Jesus as their
own. They saw him first a Jew, now
they behold him as a prophet a great
teacher, and while many of them are
receiving him as the Messiah, let us
indulge the hope that all Israel will final
ly accept him, and that there may be a
Zionism which shall bring us all to the
city of our God."
BRITISH
CLERGY3IAN 'WELCOMED.
Rev. Richard Harding: Heard at
Taylor-Street Church..
The Taylor-Street Methodist Church was
filled with an attentive audience yester
day morning that warmly greeted the
Rev. Richard Harding, a prominent mem
ber of the British Wesleyan Methodist
conference, and one of the leading clergy
men of Birmingham, England. Many ot
the British citizens of the city were in
attendance, among them several of Mr.
Harding's friends and acquaintances. The
sermon he delivered was Interesting and
delightful, the text being Isaiah, lxv:25.
"For as the days of a tree are the days
of my people, and mine elect shall long
enjoy the work of their hands." The
speaker drew an eloquent and beautiful
simile, comparing the human life to the
growth of a tree, and dwelling on tho
fact that religion made the long and
whole life, and drawing parallels from the
history of trees to the effect of careless,
thoughtless acts in the caterer of indi
viduals. The Rev. Mr. Harding has been engaged
In the Methodist ministry for the past 42
years, during which time he has been
pastor of Methodist churches from York
shire, in the North of England, to Corn
wall, In the south. Temperance work
has claimed his special attention, and h1
is now engaged in spending a well-earned
vacation In visiting different churches
throughout the world. He reached Ore
gon on his way from Australia, and
while in Ceylon he particularly interested
himself in studying the workings of the
foreign mission field. If the work there
Is a fair sample of mission effort In
various cities throughout the coast of
Asia, he says, the criticism recently made
regarding missionaries in that far-away
field is not based on fact. He has visited
different centers of church work iu Aus
tralia, and has preached in most of the
prominent pulpits in the new confedera
tion. Mr. Harding has been accompanied
on his trip by his daughter, and at pres
ent they are spending a few days with
Mr. B. Lee Paget They will leave for
the East by way of Colorado, Eastern
cities and Canada, arriving In Birming
ham about July 1.
A NEW CLOCK FACE.
One Man "Who Objects to the Time
pieces Now In General Use.
Philadelphia Record.
Objecting to the features of the clock
face which we have been consulting for
centuries a New England man Is at
tempting to bring about a change by the
introduction of a new system which he
thinks is more suitable for Twentieth
century people. This man Is Samuel P.
Thrasher, of New Haven, Conn., who has
developed a clock mechanism radically
different from that in use at present.
Mr. Thrasher makes several objections
to the present type of timepiece, princi
pal of which Is the fact that there Is an
embarrassment of figures, which are nev
er necessary at one time for hour Indica
tion, and further, some of these figures
are right side up and other are upside
down, while some repose on their sides
and others are placed at various angles.
Mr. Thrasher's artistic -sense is very
much disturbed at this, and he wants to
change it and sell clocks of his own de
sign. One of the greatest recommenda
tions for his proposed innovation Is that
there are never any unnecessary figures
displayed. There are never more than
four under any circumstances. These al
ways indicate the time and there Is no
possibility of mistake, which he says often
arises from persons taking a hasty glance
at a round dial and thinking it is 19 min
utes past the hour when It Is really Li
minutes after. The second hand travels
across a half circle divided into 60 parts,
so that the neceslty of placing any figures
upside down Is also avoided here, as In
the case of the hour and minute indica
tion. WOULD DISFIGURE THE CITY
Protest
Apraln.it
Street
Advertising:
Signs.
On
PORTLAND, April 2S. (To the Editor.-
I notice in today's Oregonian that the
street committee of the City Council
was" disposed to look favorably upon the
proposition of an advertising agent to
furnish street signs free In return for
the privilege of attaching to the sign the
advertisement or advertisements of manu
facturers of articles. The city is already
so disfigured with Its disgraceful streets,
miserable sidewalks and unsightly tele
graph poles that the pride of most of Its
Inhabitants seems to 'be completely
crushed, but surely there is enough left
in the community to raise a protest
against the proposed new prostitution of
our streets.
The people have remained passive until,
now in the form of telegraph and street
railway poles, there Is more straight tim
ber standing within the city limits than
there was within the same area when the
place was a forest. Bicycle racks, Indi
vidual advertising monstrosities, etc..
block the walks and add to the general
bad appearance.
Would the Councllmeii accept a free
suit of clothes upon condition that they
become walking advertising mediums
sandwich men with placards fore and
aft, crying out the virtues of Smith's
soap?
It could be arranged. Now If, throwing
all sense of decency aside, we are to go
Into this business of raising revenue
and are to become the butt of ridicule,
let us go into It in a business-like way.
The privilege for twenty years is worth
vastly more than the cost of the signs.
If the advertisements are not to be lim
ited as to space, the value can only be
estimated by the amount of space granted.
Competitive bids should be solicited from
persons desiring such an advertising priv
ilege, and through such a procedure, I
doubt not. the sum of $100 per month, at
the very lowest, could be obtained. This
would amount to 524.000 for the 20 years'
term stated In The Oregonian. The signs
when placed would cost about $2000 and if
the proposition is accepted this would be
the consideration. It is not one-tenth
what it is worth. If the city will accept
a proposition of this nature, an oppor
tunity to bid Is desired, and I give notice
now that there will be a cash offer in
addition to furnishing the signs.
Why not paint the City Jail and other
public buildings? It will cost nothing, in
fact we could raise revenue. It Is only
necessary to advertise some article in re
turn. It is to be hoped that the entire
proposal will tie rejected and that the city
will accept Its responsibilities and dis
charge them as do the best of Its citizens
in such matters.

DUTY OF THE CITIZEN
MEAN- BETWEEN THE PRACTICAL
MAN AND THE CRITTC.
Political Adventurers and Profes
sional Offlce-Seekers a Danger
to Civilization.
At the invitation of Rev. Alexander
Blackburn, Jerry E. Bronaugh filled the
pulpit of the First Baptist Church last
evening, and delivered an Interesting and
thoughtful address on "Better Citizens."
Mr. Bronaugh is a member of tho law
firm of Bronaugh & Bronaugh. His ad
dress was one of a series by nractical
men that Is being given at the First Bap
tist Church. He contended for a golden
mean of citizenship between that of the
Intense, practical man absorbed wholly
In affairs, who looks not to the future, and
the Idealist, who falling into the error of
becoming a ceaseless critic, withdrawing
from the active duties of life. The danger
of modern civilization, he pointed out, Is
that citizens, tiring of eternal vigilance,
should turn over affairs to political ad
venturers and professional office-seekers.
The standard of citizenship which he sug
gested was that in all affairs citizens
should conduct themselves according to
the advice of St. Paul: "Acquit your
selves like men."
Mr. Bronaugh said in part:
"In what I shall say upon this subject,
I have no disposition to harshly criti
cise that great body of our citizens, who
when they have paid their honest debts,
have given their families the necessities
and as many of the luxuries of life as
they can afford, and have observed the
laws of mine and thine In doing these
things, feel that they have done their
duty to the state. Such lives are not
commonplace, and they are rather heroic,
and fortunate Is the nation whose con
stituency is such as these, for out of
them and through them may be produced
the highest type of citizenship.
"As we pass to these comparative terms,
better citizens, higher types of citizen
ship, we pass from the realm of the In
tensely practical to tha't of the ideal or
theoretical, and here we are met with seri
ous opposition, an opposition which I
believe to be founded In misapprehension.
"The Intensely practical man asserts and
contends that he can have nothing to do
with those things, the immediate result
and effect of which upon his life may not
be seen today. He Is unwilling to wait
until the morrow, or If need be, until
future generations shall declare the re
sults of his actions. The horizon of his
life Is a limited one, and he may not
climb the mountain peaks and look off
for fear of seeing those regions to which
his feet may not go, and thence there
spring up in his life dissatisfaction and
discontent.
"This Is a 'mistaken theory of life and
Is hurtful In its influences. Those thus
actuated are open to serious error In every,
department of thought and action.
"And yet the Idealist Is as apt to fall into
as grievous error, setting before him his
Ideal of civic purity and virtue, judging
perhaps his fellows mpre harshly than
himself, unwilling to compromise with the
best attainable In life, seeing the Inability
of human nature "to measure up to his
standard, he becomes dissatisfied, dis
gusted and disgruntled, and seeks to with
draw himself from life's active duties Into
some Utopia of his own, and so becomes
a useless, fruitless factor in the world's
moral development.
"There is a medium between these two
extremes which I believe may be accom
plished by all; It" Is when In affairs of
state, bo'th small and .great, National,
state, county and municipal, we shall, In
the language of St. Paul 'Acquit our
selves like men.'
"This condition is certainly broad
enough; It certainly affords ample room
for Individuality. Analyze It for a mo
ment: In these matters, act like a man;
act, not -as a man rather than as a woman
would act, though this is probably In
tended; act not as a man rather than as a
senseless, consclousless brute would act,
though this Is certainly Included; but act
like a man among men, a. noble, high
minded, thoughtful man. The Latin and
the Greek with their beautiful shades of
meaning will assist us: the word used Is
not anthropos nor homo, which mean all
mankind in general acting -as all mankind
would naturally act, will not satisfy this
Injunction; but the word Is aner and vir,
which mean the highest and noblest of
their type, and nothing short of this
will satisfy Paul's condition which is
outlined for you.
"And therefore without presuming to
suggest to you upon which side of practi
cal questions to throw your Influence if
you, with a conscience quickened by a
study of the life and teachings of the
great teacher of mankind, shall apply this
touchstone to your political actions, shall
acquit yourselves like men you shall not
be found far from right.
"A few suggestions which may assist
us In working towards this condition:
Going beyond our own immediate spheres
of action, we must study the philosophy
of events. The political liberties which
we now enjoy have not been gained in
a day nor by the turn of a hand, but by
centuries of bloody strife and unremitting
toll. Other people have enjoyed a liberty
much like our own who have either
passed away or are but shadows of their
former national greatness. Shall we like
wise men profit by their experiences, or
shall we like the fatalists, be deceived
Into believing that our political affairs
are In some powerful, unseen hand which
will carry them to success, and that,
though nominal actors, we are but spec
tators In our own life's drama? Nay,
rather let us come to know that definite,
definable course of action produce na
tional destiny rather than -accident or
chance.
"But I hav,e the greatest confidence in
the sturdy, studious manhood of America.
I believe they are alive to civic condi
tions and civic tendencies; otherwise what
of those groups of earnest men and wo
men gathered all over this country in
classes to study municipal government;
what of our civil service, our Australian
ballot system, our law and order leagues,
what of the presence of the third party
in our politics? What, but that there Is
a righteous spirit of leaven working In
our body politic?
"I know that our National enemies have
predicted that our form of government
would prove Incapable of coping with
great masses of mankind when collected
in cities, and that municipal corruption
would be the cause of the downfall of
the republic but another form of the con
tention that the masses are unable to
govern themselves and therefore we
should have kings and princes rule over
us. They have predicted our downfall
but the passing years have only added
to our National greatness. The republic
still lives and self-government Is still here
to bless and inspire the children of men.
I can conceive of no more trying ordeals
which may come upon us than we have
already successfully met; we have freed
ourselves from the yoke of colonial tyr
anny and taken our place among the
nations of the earth; we have met our
haughty enemies upon the seas and their
navies have vanished: our armies have
waged foreign war, and the Stars and
Stripes have never trailed; we have put
down civil strife and the fratricidal
wounds have healed; peace has had Its
victories no less renowned than war; our
commercial prestige has been established;
our educational. facilities are unsurpassed;
our scientists have revolutionized the
physical world, our missionaries have car
ried the gospel to the uttermost parts
of the earth.
"Our only danger lies In this: that our
citizens, our business men, our religious
men, all who have our country's honor
and welfare at heart, tiring of that cease
less vigilance which has been the price of
liberty throughout all the ages, should
turn our affairs of state over to political
adventurers and professional office-seekers.
From that moment will our national
decadence date.
"Christian men have excused themselves
from political duties by asserting that the
New Testament if not prohibiting certain
ly does not enjoin political activity, but the
Savior was talking to men whose only J
function In government was to pay the
Roman tax-gatherer and join in the cry,
'Long live the Caesar;' but the charge to
rulers to perform well and worthily their
.God-given tasks and the scathing anathe
mas against those who misused and
abused their authority, so frequently pro
nounced throughout the Scriptures, apply
with all their force to you, in whose
hand has been placed the sovereign ballot,
upon you has fallen the royal purple,
you are the kings and princes here, you
are the rulers of this mighty empire.
"With this magnificent heritage, child
Ten of the Anglo-Saxon, the favored race
of earth, does it not behoove us to foster
and encourage every movement whose
purpose is to purify and elevate, to estab
lish and make secure our homes, our In
stitutions, and our country and In so do
ing, we will have reached that worthy
condition outlined for our better citizens,
In so doing we shall have acquitted our
selves like men."

SURVEYS OF. COLUMBIA
UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE
THEM THIS SUMMER.
Has Also Mapped Out a Bis Sara-
mer'i Worlc in Alaskan
Waters.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The United
States Coast Survey will continue its
work of surveying and charting the Co
lumbia River during the present Sum
mer. It is now- Issuing orders for get
ting its field forces together, In order to
begin operations about May 1. It Is
hoped between then and the late Fall
to survey and chart that section of the
Columbia above Vancouver as far as the
cascades, a stretch of 35 miles or more.
Aside from making numerous soundings
of the river and charting the channel and
shoals, this surveying party will also
cover the Bhore for some distance back
on either side, of the river and mark all
prominent objects, besides giving a gen
eral description of the river, its channels,
bars and banks in an accompanying re
port.' The scientific men of the Columbia
River party have for the most part been
engaged In Eastern work during the Win
ter. The laborers and field hands will be
secured along the river or at Portland.
The Coast Survey has also mapped out
a big Summer's task In Alaskan waters,
and will have, five different vessels mak
ing soundings and charts In those waters.
The steamers Peterson and Gedney will
survey Icy Straits and Cross Sound,
which, comprise the main channel trav
eled by steamers which make the Inland
run to northern ports. As yet no detailed
survey has been made of this region,
which, on account of Its general use,
needs prompt attention. The work of
these two vessels will be confined to
taking frequent soundings in this dis
trict, and marking not only the chan
nels, but shoals, prominent landmarks on
Islands in the vicinity, "and also'reportlng
upon any currents that may be found In
that waterway. In scientific language,
these parties will make hydrographlc and
topographic surveys of the regions they
visit, as well as making complete trlan
gulatlons In marking the different points
and localities.
The steamers MacArthur and Pathfinder
will devote the Summer to charting the
waters around Sannack Island and the
eastern portion of Fox Islands, particu
larly Unlmak Pass and the vicinity of
Dutch Harbor. This pass Is the main
waterway traversed by vessels on their
way to St. Michael and Nome, -and as
yet but little Is known of the channel.
Through Unlmak Pass proper there Is
an abundance of water, but a strong cur
rent runs through there, and In foggy
weather navigators have experienced
some difficulty in getting their bearings.
On the adjacent Islands are numbers of
mountains, but their peaks are clouded
In fog almost the year round. One of
the prime objects of this party Is" to lo
cate and describe certain other landmarks
which will assist navigators In getting
their bearings, so as to make the pass xi
safety even in bad weather. On account
of the growing importance of Dutch Har
bor, that vicinity also will be carefully
charted. While there Is plenty of water
in the harbor, there are some shoals
which are indefinitely described and chart
ed. By the end of the season the survey
hopes to have had this section so cov
ered that reliable charts can be prepared.
The third party will be aboard the Taku,
and will continue the work of survey
ing In Prince William Sound, principally
with a view to better charting the ap
proaches to the port of Valdes. There
seem to-be many evidences of a great de
velopment at "Valdes, and the different bu
reaus of the Government desire to do
everything possible to assist this port at
the entrance to the all-Amerlcan route
to the Interior.
MR. MILLS' RELIGION.
It Finds an Earnest Champion in
Oregon City.
OREGON CITY, April 28. (To the Ed
itor.) It must appear strange to most
persons that such a hue and cry should
be raised among the clergy In reference
to Mr. Mills and his church founded on
love to God and love to man as his high
est ideal of religion. As far as I un
derstand it Mr. Mills does not propose
It to take the place of any other estab
lished church, but will stand it on a
broad, free platform, open aljke to all
holding no creed but the one Inculcated
by Jesus, 'The Golden Rule' and in that
humanitarian spirit of one who said:
"The world is my church, to do good my
religion."
These principles are to be the corner
stone of the church of the future, at the
same time recognizing all that Is good
and true In the churches of the past and
present and seeking to preserve what
ever may be of use to us morally and
spiritually. It is a hopeful sign of the
20th century that so many of the
riergy are coming out of their musty
theologies and seeking for fresher springs
of truth by which to satisfy the growing
demands of the age.
We would not disparage any method
of teaching that wouM be of service to
society, but we fall to see how form3,
customs and opinions of people living
thousands of years ago can possibly be
of any benefit to us In this age. Our life
and duty Is with the living present.
Churches that are ot value to the world
today must contain principles 'adapted
to the welfare cf humanity itself, to Its
laws and requirements, Its arts, sciences
and Industries and all that constitutes
our every day life and duty and assist In
breaking the chains .of superstition that
have bound and paralyzed the moral
power and energies of mankind in placing
dogmas and creeds before honest lives
and deeds.
There never was a time In the world's
history when people were seeking for
more light and liberty on every question
pertaining to religious subjects, and these
inquiries are becoming a mutual bless
ing in demonstrating the moral and spir
itual growth! of the race and in giving a
broader view of life, Its duties and ob
ligations. It has been said by a wise writer on
this subject: "The many discussions that
are agitating the world at this time may
overthrow much that Is deemed sacred
In custom and association and to the
revolution of the traditions of past ages,
and some honest souls may fear for ths
safety and sanctity of Institutions held
sacred by them, but they need not be
alarmed, for whatever of divine funda
mental principles, absolute truth In the
popular creeds of today cannot be done
away with, but whatever customs, laws
and opinions founded upon false foun
dations shall crumble and fall when
found to be contrary to the common right
of mankind, and those principles of jus
tice which our country coasts of."
The stream of humanity progress has
always been fed by the growing neces
sities of every age. We see it flowing
out from the pens and voices of the peo
ple today. We see It In such brave think
ers as Mr. Mills, Helen Newton and Mr.
Savage, Swing and Thomas, of Chicago.
And in our own city of Portland we have
Rabbi Wise and Rev. Mr. Lord, noble
teachers who are trying to make the
world wiser and better by sowing the
seeds of truth and wisdom in the souls
of their hearers In place of so much
theological dogma that some churches
still persist in dealing out to their mem
bers. We fully believe that just so long as
theology will picture God as revengeful,
just so long will the people be revenge
ful, and just so long as we are told that
God requires us to cringe and beg for
mercy, so long will men in power do the
same.
What the world requires today is a
better and loftier Idea of God. Every age
has always manufactured Its own ac
cording tp spiritual development and im I
doubt did the best they could from the
light within; but it is folly for us to in
sist that this kind of a God, who would
consign us to eternal torments for speak
lng and practicing our highest convic
tions of truth, should stand unquestioned
by the thinking minds of today. And It
is our duty as intelligent people to raise
our Ideas of that Supreme Being whom
we call God up to the standard of at
least our present civilization-
Is it any wonder that the people are
waking up and demanding a better,
wiser and more humane Interpretation of
what religion really means, to explore
new fields of thought and to gain all the
knowledge spiritual as well as material
that their minds are capable of receiv
ing? Anything In this advanced age must
be a complete failure. T)nly principles
founded on truth, justice and liberty will
outlast the changes of time.
We fully believe this church of the fu
ture, this gospel of humanity from out
the dust of discussions and fogs of spec
ulation will shine clear In the human
firmament until the trofden rule becomes
I the star of our redemption and all
earth's children shall truly feel and say
"Our Father," and know how true were
the words of Christ, "I and my Father
are one," one In protection to all hu
manity, one In freedom and In Justice,
until every right shall be merged into
one grand human right- And the Father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man
shall become the universal government
of the world.

It is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm ! It leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing- but
soap. The harm is done by
alkali. Still more harm is
done by not washing-. So,
bad soap is better than
none.
What is bad soap? Im
perfectly made; the fat
and alkali not well bal
anced or not combined.
' What is good soap?
Pears'.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.
