.THE MORNING OBEGONIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1902. IN FAVOR OF UNION Cumberland Presbyterians' Express Opinion. REVISION OF CREED HINDERS Resolutions Welcome Overtures From United Bretkren, lint Declare Premature Movement to Rejoin. Old Presbyterian Church. The question of organic union came up yesterday before the Oregon Synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in ses sion on the East Side, in the form of a report of the committee appointed the day before. Rev. C. A. Wooley, formerly mod erator, was chairman of this committee, as he was the mover for Its appoint ment. He said in explanation of his action that he wanted to show the United Brethren people, who "were reeking: to ac complish church union, t,hat the Cumber land Presbyterian people applauded their efforts, and at the same time to rebuke those brethren in the East who had been j precipitate In urging union of the Cum- berland Presbyterian church with the 'mother church. The following report was fxead by Rev. ilr. Wooley: Resolutions on Organla Union.., "Whereas, It is the consensus of belief among most thoughtful Christians of this !Jay and age that the body of Christ (the J church) has been divided and. subdivided "Into too many separate denominations, many of them holding substantially the same doctrines . and Usages, thus weaken ing instead of strengthening the cacse of Christ: and. "Whereas, Certain proposals have re cently been made by the United Brethren 'church looking to' the organic union of I said "church with certain other churches, Lamong which Is kindly mentioned the Cumberland church; therefore, be It ! "Resolved, by the Oregon Synod now ?in session in the City of Portland, Or. "First That we highly appreciate the 'Iclndly and fraternal feelings , thus mani fested by said United Brethren church and assure our brethren -of said church of our iheartv sympathy with them in this effort to bring into closer relations the churches mentioned; and sincerely pray that said effort may be the inauguration of a move- ment, the result of which may be of great est value to. the cause of our common Xiord and Muster, 'whose we are and whom we serve.' "Second That while there may be dif ficulties In the way, bj reason of slight differences of doctrines and essential dif ferences in point of government, that may be sufliclent to prevent this consumma tion so far as our beloved branch of the church is concerned, yet the kindly offer of said brethren in Christ Is none the less appreciated .by us." Explanation Not Enongh. The following part of the . resolutions elm at the "Eastern men who have pre- cipltated. the movement for church union," and caused considerable discussion: "Third That the Oregon Synod ex presses its sincere regret that any action Should have been taken by any persons or tTesbyterians of the Cumberland Presby terian church looking to organic union with the Presbyterian church of the United States at this time, inasmuch as it -claimed by many of the leading men of e said church that the new statement of doctrines, formulated and submitted to the Presbyterians for ratification, is not a revision but a restatement of the same jdoctnnes taught by the Westminster Con fession, which doctrine concerning elec tion and reprobation Cumberland Presby terians have ever held to be unphllosoph Jcal, untrue ai:d at radical variance with the word of God." Discussion of the Resolutions. Mr. Wooley, chairman of the committee presenting the. resolutions, was given the floor. He said in part: "I have no set speech at this time, but simply a word of explanation. I think it is conceded generally that there are too many churches ("Xot by all," W. R. Bishop interjected), and too many denominations that have very small, if any, difference in doctrines', and some of the "United Brethren people have made a move to "bring about union of some .of the denomi nations, and have made some overtures to the Cumberland' Presbyterian church along that line. Now I submit that it would be good form to show them that we appreciate their efforts by this expres sion. Brethren'l don't see how a Chris tian man can stand out against a union of the churches that have a common doc trine and government. That is my Judg ment. Now. I think that th-j Oregon Synod should set its disapproval on the action of those ministers of the Cumber land Presbyterian church who started the movement for union with the mother Presbyterian church while the matter of. revision is unsettled. We have it from Presbyterians that there has been no re v:sion, and that only a restatement had been made of the creed an explanation so that those who could not understand could be informed. Until this revision uncertainty shall have been cleared up the movement for organic union is clearly premature, and we should rebuke those who have ruahed Into the movement. I am not opposed to union with any dendmi nation that holds to the true doctrines of Jesus Christ. I am not one of those, how ever, who fear the consequence of agita tion. I believe in full discussion of this subject. We should meet it on large, broad and generous grounds. The Con gregationalism have discussed and agitat ed union, and they have lost nothing by it. .1 trust the resolutions will pass." Let Themselves Down Easily. Moderator Tan Patten said: "I am op posed to the report, for the xeason that It is not consistent. At the start it advo cates organic union of churches, and winds up by condemning the movement for union with the mother Presbyterian church. Now it has been repeatedly set forth here on this floor and -elsewhere that this 're vision' is not a revision, but a mere re statement or explanation. Now I under stand that it is a revision, and that the great journals and leading minds of the mother Presbyterian church do so set forth. Of course, It is hard for the Pres byterian church to admit that its doc trines were wrong, and it wants to come down easy, and claim It is an explana tion, when it is really a complete re vision, and that the doctrines of he Cum berland Presbyterian church are admitted to be the true doctrines. We ought to be able to see whether or not It is a revision ourselves. Now. if there be any -Christian body with which the Cumberland Presby terian church should unite, certainly it ought to be with the mother Presbyterian church. I don't think the movement is premature. I am in favor of organic union. We stand midway between. Calvin ism and Arminlanlsm. and the churches are coming to this standard." W. R, Bishop spoke for the passage ot the resolution. He said it was not settled that there had been a revision, and Cum berland Presbyterians could wait until that matter was settled. Wanted Resolutions Thrown Out.. E. E. Thompson declared that the whole matter was irregulnr and was not before the synod in an official manner. "What In the wide world aro we talking about, anyway?" he declared. "Neither the Gen eral Assembly of the mother Presbyterian church nor of the Cumberland Presby terian church has taken any steps toward organic union. I move that the whole matter be laid on" the table." Dr. Dalton We have a right to consider this matter, whether the General Assem bly has taken any, action or-.not. We can express our opinions on the subject It is in the air, and we have to meet the ques tion." ' Mr. Thompson Insisted on his' motion to throw the whole matter bodily out of the synod, and that It should be kept out of the minutes of the proceedings. He said that It was "beating against the whirl wind." He spoke with- much force and feeling against taking any action. AftA' several other talks the motion to lay on the table .was put and lost, Mr. Thompson alone voting in the affirmative. Amended and Passed. On motion ot G. N. Wall the word "re gret" was stricken out of resolution No. 3, and "it is the sense of the synod that the action taken was premature" was in serted to modify, the harshness of the statement. The resolution was then passed as amended, Mr. Thompson voting against it. There was relief that the mat ter had at last been disposed of and was out of the way for the rest of the session. Although softened in wording, the resolu tions are regarded as an emphatic answer to some prominent Cumberland Presby terian ministers, who are pressing the matter of orgAnlc union at this time.

GEORGE ADE'S FABLE IN SLANG Of the subtle nlcht watch and the would-be something awful. Dalton, chairman of the committee on synodlcal missionary woTk, read his re port, setting fcrth that for three months Rev. George G. Hudson had been employed as missionary, but that the work had teen suspended for the reason that there was no means to. continue him In the field. The report set forth the need of the work. It recommended that steps be taken to place a mission at Spokane, and also that all the churches of the synod give the matter of missions their special consider ation. C. A. Wooley commended the recom mendations. He thought a synodlcal mis sionary should be placed in the field, who would be able to hold revivals and visit the churches. W. R. Bishop read his report on the "Needs of the Synod," which was that the churches needed more spiritual life. The report was exhaustively discussed and adopted In the course of the discussion E. E. "Thompson spoke of the idle ministers, who should be up and at work In some fields.' -There was a shortage of men, he said, to fill the churches. Many were doing noth ing. There were enough men, ordained preachers, but they were not at work. He told of the experiences at Albany, Leb anon, Coburg and elsewhere. "We must have men who will move," he declared. Remarks were made by Moderator "Van Patten, in which he said that something should be done that would put life into the dotmant churches. Dr. Dalton, N. G. Wall and William Metcalf all made short talks. The report was adopted, and It was decided to continue for another committee on synodlcal missionary. N. G. Wall reported on the Pacific Coast (Messenger, edited by Dr. Dalton, com mending the publication highly. It was moved that it be supported and encour aged in every possible way. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the sub ject of Sunday observance was discussed. Dr. L. R. Bond delivered a short talk, quoting liberally from the Bible, to show that the "Sabbath was for man." He called attention to the tendency to disre gard this use of the" Sabbath. Remarks were made by nearly all members of the synod, and the discussion closed by the passage of -a resolution .condemning Sab bath picnics, train and boat excursions. A Sunday, school Institute was held at 3 o'clock in tne afternoon, which proved Instructive. Women's Synodlcal Meeting:.. L,ast evening the Women's Synodlcal Missionary Society conducted a meeting. An interesting programme had been pre pared. A number of short talks were made by members of th Oregon Synod. TO CLEAR THE WALKS. Civic Improvement Association Will Take Up Reform.

ATiorr at', mount tabor. 7- Recent Fire Proves Insufficiency of Present' Supply in Two Fast Growing Suburbs. The water problem . Is pressing itself upon the attention of the people of Mount Tabor and Montavilla, and will be ac centuated by the Are which destroyed the Oriental Hall-and the -adjoining cottage. Practically Mount Tabor is almosthelp less as far as Are protection is concerned, and the citizens there have to call on the Portland Fire Department for help in case of 'flre. An excellent and pure water supply is furnished from Paradise Springs, at the east end., of. . Hawthorne ..avenue. Both Mount Tabor "and Montavilla are supplied from this sour.ee. Until the past two years the suppiy has been sufficient for all- purposes. Residents were permitted to use water for irrigation, but last year, owing to the great growth at Mount Ta bor, especially at Montavilla, irrigation has not been allowed to be carried on gen erally. X,awns have been permitted to dry up during the Summer.. The local water company 'has done the best it can with the supply on hand, and it is understood OREGON IAN that efforts have been made to secure water from the Bull Run system by ex tending a main to the upper reservoir. If this can be done, it will solve the prob lem and Insure water for fire and domestic purposes at Mount Tabor and Montavilla in abunuance. The agitation of the water question will probably result in consideration of annex ation, which was defeated several years ago. The water committee has always de clined to furnish water to any of the out side suburbs for this reason. ' Woodstock has repeatedly asked for Bull Run water, but each time was met with the state ment that the place was outside the city limits. It is very probable that Mount Tabor can get Bull Run water only by annexation to the city. Citizens who have heretofore been opposed to annexation say now that they would not object Provi sions are made by the new charter by which outside districts may come Into the city under certain conditions. Mount Tabor and surro'undlngs are growing rapidly. Already there is almost a soliQ growth of cottages "and fine homes from the boundaries of the 'city to the summit .of Mount Tabor, between Haw thorne avenue and the Montavilla car line. At Mount Tabor the big Portland sani tarium is being built at a. cost of $35,000. On both sides of West avenue many hand some homes have been erected. In Monta villa houses have gone up In every direc tion. All these want water for flre and for general domestic purposes. 'LENTS WILL BUILD SCHOOL. Taxpayers Vote to Borrow Moner Enough for Creditable Structure. At a well-attended meeting of the tax-' payers of Lents district, held -in the pub lic hall Thursday evening. It was decided to proceed with the erection of a four room schoolhouse to cost 'about $3000. It was voted to authorize the Board of Edu cation of the district to borrow 52000 for four years on the credit of the district. This, with the Insurance money of $1200, will be enough tQ. put up the proposed building and furnish the two lower rooms. The building will have two rooms on the lower and two on the second floor. The two upper rooms will not be needed for some time, and can be finished at any time that they may be needed. There was harmony at the meeting on the subject of erection of a schoolhouse that will be a credit to the district. It was thought bet ter for the district to put up a first-class building that would make some provision for the future than simply to build a two room structure, and then to have to build an addition inside of a few years. It is not thought the district will have any difficulty in borrowing $2000. It car ries no debt, and has. nearly $40,000 of tax able property. It Is expected that active steps will be taken for the erection of the schoolhouse at once. Chairman Lent, of the Board of Education, presided at the meeting. SHOOTING INSIDE CITY LIMITS. Hnntcrs Have Been Killing Gronse in- Sullivan's Gnlcli Mornings. Since the game season opened shooting has gone on nearly every morning In Sul livan's Gulch in the city limits. Thurs day and yesterday morning shooting com mnceu at about A o'clock at Grand ave nue, across Sullivan's gulch, and more than 20 shots were fired from there on out to Cycle Park. There was much alarm by residents on both sides of Sullivan's Gulch. They did not know but that some of the shots might go astray and injure some one. Many, of course, did not know what the shooting was about at all, ahd every one wondered 4hy it was allowed in the city limits. The shooting was done by hunters. There are grouse and pheasants in Sulli van's Gulch, and the hunters could not resist the' temptation to shoot them; but, as the people object to shooting so close to their homes, they will have' to desist. Cast Side Notes. Evening Star Grange, No. 27, Patrons of Husbandry, will hold a meetlng today at Multnomah Hall on the Base Line road. The funeral of Mrs. Christina Thim was held yesterday from her late home, 429 East Main street, and the Interment was at Lone Fir cemetery. She died at St. Vincent's Hospital.

ENTERTAINED SENATORS Luncheon to Gnesta by Citizens of HonoluluMitchell's Remarks. The Honolulu Advertiser of September 24 published an account of a luncheon given the day before in' honor of the Sen ate committee that was examining into the condition of the Islands, from which" the following . is taken: "The luncneon was given on the Ewa lnnal ot the Hawaiian Hotel, and its ap pointments were were of. the prettiest and most typical of the life. The table was spread outside, so that.lt might be sur rounded by the plants and palms which were used to transform the lanai Into a bower of tropics. At .either end were hung great flags of the" Nation, looped up to give glimpses of the scenes without. The decorations . were '.in . leis of carna tions and malle, and these were varied by the introduction of bunches of red blossoms along the stretches of the board. The hour was 1 o'clock, and at the mo ment the guests were -gathered on the Walklki lanai and marched across tothe banqueting-roorti. "Governor Dole was placed at the head of the table, with Senator Mitchell at his right, and .Senator Burton a'tlhls loft, while at the other end of the board Judge M. M. Estee was flanked by Senator Foster on the rir.ht and ex-Sr-nator John M. Thurs ton on his left; The qther guests were as follows; Chief Justice Frear, justice Perry, Judge Gear, Judge Robinson, Sec retary H. E. Cooper, Major Davis, U. S. A.. Captain Whiting, U. S. N.. Attorney General E. P. Ddle, Delegate R. W. Wil cox,' Prince David Kawanariakoa, B. F. Dillingham, H. C. Robertson. W. A. Purdy, -F. W. Macfarlarie, Samuel Parker, A. S. Humphreys, C. W.

Atherton.", Senator Mitchell responded to -the single toast, "The President of the United States," and In the cotlrse of his remarks said: . - "Forty years ago. when I was a mem ber of the Senate' of the Statei of Oregon, It way my pleasure- to Introduce a resolu tion calling upon our Senators and mem bers of Congress to use their best efforts to secure a treaty of reciprocity with these islands. I had the pleasure later, when a member of the Senate of-the Unit ed States, to see that treaty consummated, and in company with the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, and the Hon. A. A. Sargent, of California, I had the honor to advocate, the treaty of reciprocity, by which the. interests of these Islands were so greatly aided. Eut for. that reciprocity treaty, in my opinion, today this territory would be a part of the British Empire, Instead of being a portion of the United States." Senator Mitchell was to leave Honolulu September SO on his way home. t ANSWER TO VANCOUVER. Federated Trades Council Defends Its Action on Drydock Question. At the regular meeting of the Federated Trades Council last night a letter was framed In answ.er to the communication of the Vancouver Merchants' Protective Association In regard to the action in the drydock case. The Vancouver people were opposed to the action, and stated that they would do their trading with other places than Portland" If the case was followed out and the drydock taken from them. In an swer the union people declare that there Is nothing against -their neighbors of Van couver, but that they are bringing the suit because the awarding of the work to Van couver Is contrary to law, and the tax payers of Portland are entitled to the benefits of the money, that will be ex pended In this work. The communication of the Federated Trades Council signed by A. R. Lawton, secretary, la as foliows: I am Instructed by- the Portland Federated Trades Council to ake the following reply to the resolutions adopted by your organization: Our contention Is that the express provision of the statute creating the Port of Portland Com mission requires that It "shall have power to. In its discretion, toaulre, own and hold a site for, and to erect, htd. own and operate a dry dock at and within the boundaries of the Port of Portland,- on the "Willamette River." and that Its action In approving a site In any other place Is a violation of the law, and an Injustice to the taxpayers of our city, who should derive whatever benefit might accrue from the ex penditure of tbIr own money. We must Insist that we hav co Intention or desire to do any harm to either our neighbor? the business peo ple, or our neighbors the laboring people of our sister City of Vancouver, and trust that, instead of doing us the great Injury of with drawing your business relations, you will re member the biblical Injunction to return good for evil, and heap "coals of fire on our heads" by an Increase of business with us. We cannot refrain, however, from congratu lating the laboring men and mechanics of your city upon the possession by them of so able a protector of their rights and' interests aa the prompt action of your enterprising association "has shown you to be. Had our business asso ciations shown the same watchful care of Port land's interests, the Interference of the Feder ated Trades Council In the present controversy would have been unnecessary. The committee that was appointed to ar range fcr the lecture to be given by J. T. Morgan In behalf of the coal-mine workers reported the expense that would have to be Incurred, and after some discussion It was decided that no lecture be given. Word was received from the Federated Trades Council of San Francisco that there was still a strike on in the Leatherwork era' Union, and In response to Its request a number of California leather firms were placed on the unfair list. PORTO RICO TO BE AT FAIR Governor Hnnt Asks for n Site at the St. Louis Exposition. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. A banquet was ten dered last night by the Business Men's League at the Mercantile Club to the Governors and Commissioners who at tended the ceremonies of allotting sites for state buildings at the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition. The visitors returned to tneir homes today. 1. G. Baker, of St. Louis, has received a request from Governor Toole, of Mon tana, to accept, for him and the Montana commission the site allotted to that state. The site will probably be allotted In a few days, together with the sites for Utah, West Virginia and New Hampshire. A letter was received from Governor Hunt, of Porto Rico, who Is now in New York City, that he was, unable to attend the allotment ceremonies this week, and he asks that the site be reserved for that island. The Government appropriation of $5,000, 000 will soon becom available to the Ex position Company." The City of St. Louis has deposited all of Its $5,000,000, and sub scribers to the $3,000,'000 of Exposition Companv stock are paying their obliga tions so rapidly that all of the $15,000,000 will soon be in the treasury of the com pany.

Watch coffee drinkers and observe that practically every one of them has some form of Incipient or fixed disease. Mrs. F. N. Wright, of San Francisco, Cal., tells her experience: "I was 20 years old before I ever knew the taste of cof fee", and hefore I commenced drinking it I never was troubled in the least with constipation, but after drinking coffee for one year I became constipated to such a degree that I had to resort to drugs to overcome it. "After three years drinking coffee I had cultivated a chronic state of constipation and other annoying symptoms became manifest. The first thing In the morning I had a headache come on. a feeling of nausea, and these symptoms would per sist until I had drunk a quantity of cof fee. At first I did not associate these symptoms with the habit of coffee drink ing. I thought my- system must be run down, and I felt glad that coffee, instead of proscribed drugs would relieve the weakness. Like many people, I did not icason from cause to .effect. "About this time I had an elderly nurse In my employ, who complained every morning of similar symptoms, and when I suggested mineral water, etc., to her for her biliousness, she eaid, "Nothing In the world but my coffee will relieve me when I feel so badly.' My husband be gan to complain, if he did not get his coffee at a certain time, of queer sensa tions in the stomach and head. I be came alarmed at these coincidences, and came to the conclusion that coffee had as strong a hold on us as whiskey has with the veriest drunkard. About this time I was taken 111 with inflammatory rheu matism and the two doctors who attended me told me I would have to stop drink ing coffee or remain a cripple, as they could not treat me if I persisted in using a drug stronger than the drug I needed. "My husband and I agreed to try an experiment and commenced the use of Postum Food Coffee. The effect waa mar velous and taught us some valuable truths, andv now we would not touch a cup of coffee for anything. His business demands the utmost concentration of brain force continuously. He now looks like a new man; he has had no headaches or bilious attacks for some months, and digests all his food without any distress. I feel sure that he would have been a wreck if he had 'kept on with coffee. "After I began using Postum I soon recovered from my attack of rheumatism, and in a few weeks I fcould walk about again. I am no longer troubled with con stipation, headaches, nausea or rheuma tism. I firmly believe that the continued use of coffee becomes in time as hurtful to the human system as alcoholic stimu lants.
