12 THE MOENIN0- OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1902. CLAD TO GET MONEY Action of Washington Fair Commission Satisfactory. ESTABLISHES GOOD PRECEDENT Directors g Lewis and Clark Expo sltion Pleaded at Recommendation Which. Will Be Mnde to Legis lature at Olympla. The directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair are in general well pleased with the action of the commissioners appointed by Governor Rogers, who will recommend that the Washington Legislature appro priate 5100.000 for the purposes of making a presentation of the resources of that state at the Oregon Exposition In 1905. The sentiment which finds the most ' ready expression Is one of assurance that such a recommendation by the Washing ton commission will establish a very satis factory precedent upon which other states may act. "If an the other states whom we have asked to appropriate funds to make an exhibit, fall in line with Wash ington." said Paul Wesslnger, "the re sult will be eminently satisfactory. Of course the Legislature at Olympla may not follow the recommendation of the commission, and the eventual amount of the appropriation may be somewhat re duced, but I hope not. The proposal that such a substantial sum be set aside for the Washington exhibit shows that people beyond the borders of this state have real ized the Importance of the fair, and it Is my impression that this action will In sure favorable recognition of our project elsewhere, it Is very creditable. Precedent Established. "A precedent has now been established. We 'have a representative who la asking that Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and many other commonwealths appropriate money to exhibit their resources at our fair, and the recommendation of the Washington commission will be of the greatest serv ice to him in this work." Ex-Senator H. W. Corbett, president of the board of directors of the fair, ex pressed an unqualified pleasure at the amount of the appropriation recommended by the Washington commission. "It is very satisfactory, indeed," said he. "A fine displav can be made for $100,000, and I am glad that our neighbors to the north have shown such a substantial in terest in the Oregon exposition. It Is very creditable for any state to -appropriate such a sum for an exhibit beyond its own boundaries. Of course Washington will derive almost as much benefit from this fair as will accrue to Oregon, for the In terests and resources of the two states are very similar. And also "a better dis play could be made for more money, a larger state house could be- erected and a more complete exhibit made. Still Ore gon will have no cause to repine if the "Washington Legislature acts upon the advice of the commission." "I do not think the appropriation is very liberal," said Hufus Maliory."Washington should be largely Interested in the suc cess of the Lewis and Clark Fair, and should make a better exhibit at It than will be possible with only J100.000"to work on. Still it might be much worse and I think the directors of the fair will all be "very grateful at the action of the Wash ington commlsison. One hundred thousand dollars is a very substantial sum. Thinks Site Blade Difference. "I do think," continued Mr. Mallory, "that had the fair site been located as I wished on the peninsula near the Catholic school, the State of Washington would have been willing to appropriate much more money. From this location visitors to the fair could have seen the fields and mountains of Washington as well as those of Oregon. The selection of this site would have given the fair a broader aspect and I have been assured that had this site been chosen the Washington ap propriation would have been $250,000, more than twice the sum which the commis sion "has now recommended. One thing about it is that If Washington, under the present circumstances, gives $100,000 to the fair, the Oregon Legislature cannot in de cency appropriate any less than the $500,000 for which we will ask." Charles E. Ladd stated that he did not want fo say anything about it. Adolphe Wolfe was another director who was unreservedly pleased at the amount , of the sum recommended by the "Wash ington commission. "Where we are only asking our own Legislature for $500,000," said Mr. Wolfe, "it would seem as though we could not reasonably expect any other state to appropriate more than $100,000. I think the action of the commission very graceful." LOOKS BLUE FOR TELLER Candidates for His Seat From Colo, rado Mix-Up Probable. DENVER, Dec. 21. Senator Henry M. Teller arrived here from Washington to day to spend the Christmas holidays and to look after his interests in the contest for rerelectlon. The State Legislature, which will convene January 7, will select a Senator to succeed Teller. In addition to Teller, the announced candidates are ex-Senator Wolcott; Frank C. Goudy, of Denver; District Judge Walter N. Dixon, of Pueblo, and Irving Howbert, of Colo rado Springs. Teller claims the entire Democratic vote on joint ballot, and will likely get it, as there is no one opposing him in the Democratic party. The -re maining four candidates will divide the Republican support Goudy claims to have pledged about two-thirds of the Re publican members of the Legislature, .and this claim is said by well-informed leaders to be not too sanguine. .A great deal depends upon the outcome oi the contests now before the State Can vassing Board. Should the Democrats be seated, the House will stand: Democrats, 32; Republicans, 33. On the Canvassing Hoard are two Populists, elected through fusion with Democrats. Failure to accept propositions for fusion at the recent 1p. tlon held out by Populists has placed the Democrats in an attitude of unfriendly relationship with the Populist party, and it Is feared they will revenge themselves now through their representatives on the Canvassing Board. The sickness of Rep resentative-elect Jones, a Republican, at Hot Springs, Ark., also complicates mat ters. Should he be compelled to remain away and the Democrats be seated, the vote in me uouse would be a tie. Terrier Tackles Champion Bulldog:. One of w.e champion bulldogs of Nob Hill Is a gentle-tempered bulldog called "Pat.' He Is so kind-hearted that he often fails to .notice the insulte to which he. is sub jected by inferior canines, especially fox terriers, and a rumor got afloat that "Pat" was easy and did not. know how to fight. Imbued with this Idea, a wiry terrier named "Bob" recently bit the bulldog's till, and then stood off as if saying: "Now I've done it; What are you going to do?" To his Intense surprise, the terrier re ceived such a severe shaking that he wa glad to be allowed to slink off. He longed for revenge, and one day last week he was seen In earnest conference with ,a shaggy looking collie dog. From the way the dogs talked, it was evident that some desperate deed of revenge was Deing planned, unconscious or all this, "Pat was trotting along Nineteenth street; near Couch, when the two allies, the collie and the terrier, sprang at him, and so swllt was their onset that he' was dashed to the ground. Now, "Pat"' fights. best lying on his back, but to the spectators It seemed that the days of the bulldog were ended as he lay prostrate 'in, the teeth of his enemies. The collie received such a chew ing, however, that he was glad to limp away. The little terrier was more game," and he hung to the 'bulldog's fore leg with the energy of despair. But slowly the bulldog got his famous neck grip into ex hibition, and with his teeth fastened, he lay still and waited. ''Ow-a-kee! Ow-a-kee!" suddenlyremarked the terrier. He was licked, and with nearly every bit of breath knocked out of him, he was torn from his enemy Just In time to save his life. The collie had vanished. The bull dog waited some little. time to see If any more of his enemies showed up, but none came, and he unconcernedly trotted off to tell his master all about it. ADVERTISED.

Preachers Point Out SIjrnicace of the Day Choirs Sing Sa cred Music. Yesterday was Christmas Sunday, and many of the churches held services ap propriate to the approaching day. Th others will hold special services on Thurs day, and the sacred significance of Christ mas will not be lost sight of in the gen eral merrymaking. Music suitable to tne season was rendered In several of the large churches, many of which displayed good taste In elaborate decorations. As It was St. Thomas' dar, holy communion was observed in all the Episcopal churches, and this added to the solemnity of the services, i The choir and chorus of the First Con gregational Church sang some very ex cellent music. The anthem was "Great Is the Lord," by Shackley. Mrs. Rosa Bloch Bauer sang as a soprano solo "Come to the Manger In Bethlehem," by Schuecker. Tti hnHtnnp. offertory by W. A. Mont- "The Birth of Christ," byl Louis Campbell Tipton. The soprano and baritone sang as a duet Shelley's "Christ mas." In the evening the cantata, "Story of the Manger," was rendered by the choir and chorus. The sermon of the pastor, Rev. E. L. House, D. D., was on "The Characteris tics of Christ," a. subject wen aaaptep. to the season Dr House took as his text Isaiah ix:6, Vnr nntn us a child Is born, unto us a son Is riven: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his .name shall be called Wonderful, counselor, me Mighty God, the Everlasting . Father, the Prince of Peace." He said in pari: There are lives that are a gift to the many, ana some tnat are a gut m mo few. Tour mother ministered to a few. but fo those few what a gift! No words can describe it. The word 'mother, when once spoken, lives forever in the lives of men. JNeltner aistance nor ume nor ucmu lessens Its charm. But there are lives that are gifts to tho many, such a Hie was tnat oi vjoniucius. for when he was born half of the human race had a father and a- teacher given them. When Moses was born, not only a few millions of slaves found a deliverer, but the great eternal principles of moral ity found a spokesman. But this morning we are assemtJiea to recall the most wonderful birth that stands recorded in the annals of time a birth that should cause light to take the place of darkness, Joy for affliction, and that should overturn nations. What should bring about so wonderful a revo lution? Not the clashing of arms, not the force of battle, but the coming of a son, the birth of a child. It is not to be sup posed that the prophet knew all the mean ing of his own words. It is the glory of a prophet to' feel after. 'This prophet saw the harvest In the seed, the noonday In the streaks of light shooting up the east ern sky." "We have in our text the mystery of the incarnation, 'Unto us a child Is born'; the divine nature of Christ, 'to us a son is given'; and the kingship of Jesus, 'the government shall be upon his shoulder ; and five striking characteristics of Christ that would arrest the attention of the world, 'Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God. the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. "The name 'Wonderful,' as applied to Christ, is very forcible. Was he not won derful In that he came at a time foretold? Was It not wonderful that angels sang and said, 'Glory to God In the highest peace on earth, good-will to men'? As Jesus grew, his whole history was won derful his miracles, his words, his power. And when his stay was nearly over, what wonders were connected with his death In the Garden the angel came; when on the crass the sun was veiled; and when he died the rocks were rent, graves were opened. When he came forth, great was the wonder, and when he ascended men marveled. "And this characteristic is true of his church. Wonderful was the power that came upon the early apostles. Men ran to hear them, and many laidt their sick in their way that they might be healed And today men preach, and, wonderful to relate, men are transformed and na tions are turned upside down. " 'Counselor' stands for wisdom. 'Never a man spake like this man.' After that no man durst 'ask him a questldn.' He was Wisdom. And this is true of his church, She has been the fountain of education. Schools and colleges are her monument before the world as to the fact that she is 'counselor.' "And now put Wonderful and Counselor together and we have Divine Lawyer- one appointed to look after the Interests of his clients. And Christ did this In marvelous way. The woman at the well was cleansed by him, and what he did for her he can do -for all. "He waa 'the Mighty God.' He laid his hands on all the powers of the earth, and they obeyed him. Diseases fled before him; sickness owned his touch; the gravo yielded up her prey; eternity gave back its sons and daughters at his word. He is the Lord of this world and of the world to come the Lord of life and death. "But Christ did not use his power to sadden; he came as the Everlasting Father. Whom did he ever give up? The outcasts found mercy and salvation through him; the widow of -Naln had her son restored, and the sisters are over whelmed with Joy at the restoration of a brother from death. And his church is an everlasting Father. Is she not looking at the wants and woes of humanity as no other organization? Asylums, hospitals homes of all kinds, feel the strength of her arms and the help of her substance. "And now once more the prophet be held Jesus as the Prince of Peace. must have sounded strange when firs spoken, for It is even strange today. And yet the signs of the times point toward a peace tribunal for all nations. Though strifes have divided men, and troubles are still dividing men, the time is not far distant when the last shock of arms is to be heard, and the last battle-field will be a scene of the past, for love shall take the place of anger and hatred, and Jesus Christ shall reign in the world as the Great Arbitrator of nations, and of 'the Increase of his government and peace there snau oe no eid.' " M1ZPAH PRESBYTERIAN. Rev. 3Ir. McGlade Preaches on "Good Nevra From rt Far Country." Mizpah Presbyterian Church, East Thir teenth and Powell streets, held Christmas services throughout the day yesterday and large congregations assembled. The musical programme was the feature of the day. At the morning service the choir rendered the anthem "Hark! Those Holy Voices." Mrs. Max M. Shillock in a most effective manner sang "The Star of Bethlehem, by Schnecker. The even Ing hour of worship was given over to Christmas praise service, entitled, "Music in Foreign Missions." The anthem "Glory to God In the Highest." by Denby, and the solo by Mrs. J. M. C. Miller, "The Shepherd King" (Verne), were well re ceived. At the morning service Rev. Jerome McGlade, 4he pastor, preached Christmas sermon on the text. Proverbs xxv:25, "As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." The theme, "Good News From a Far Coun try" was developed. News, was shown to be a most Important factor in this age. "Recently," he said, "the Pacific cable has been completed and christened, and the world, is now girdled with electric wire's, over which news is received the world around. The character of this news may be good or evil, but good news has been brought to this earth with no ad mixture of evil in it from another world. "First, there is a far country, 'Thine eye shall see the King in His beauty", in. that far-stretching land.' Heaven is it may be far or nearbut it is. a reality., "Second, messengers have come from the far country to earth. It is not with out interest that the angel presence is disclosed to us In the Word of God. How real Is the Herald-Angel who, appeared to the shepherds as they were In the field by night watching their flocks. Affright ed were the shepherds, but the angel speaks to them reassuringly and bids them fear not.. Then suddenly there ap peared a multitude ot the heavenly host praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest; peace on earth; good will toward men. Shall not the" angel pres- encetln the story of Bethlehem be real to us, an important factor in the Christmas narrative? 'But there is a more real messenger that has come from that far country. Jesus came Himself to tell the 'Glad Tid ings.' He who had dwelt from all etern ity in the bosom of the Father came as the. messenger of .God. He was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. How real tills messenger! Conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, the infant Redeemer comes a messenger to childhood, and tho Christ-child each ear brings to them a world of joy. But Christ came as a messenger to man, also bringing to the race a message from the unseen world God's message of salva tion. "Then, third, the message. From planet or star has come no Intelligence, no mes sage of a personal nature.- But from the far country, the spiritual realm, has come to, us a message detinue, intelligent, dis tinct. It is a message of assurance. Fear not, behold I bring you good tidings. It is a message of joy 'Good tidings of great joy, universal for all people. It is a message of hope to those without hope and without God in this world. It Is a peace message one of reconciliation and good will. 'Peace on earth; good will to ward men.' "It Is a love message for we are as sured in that far-away country God is love and God loves the inhabitants of this world. It is a message of life, for this messenger said, 'I am come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abundantly. It was a. message of song. that has made the world songful and filled the earth with melody. It is a mes sage of salvation, for this messenger was to eave His people from their sins. The effect of this good news, how the earth has been thereby cheered, gladdened, brightened! 'As c"bld water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.' And In like manner, the Christmas good news has influenced the world In ten thou sand ways. The shepherds who received the message made known abroad the glad tidings they had heard. This good news from a far country is to be distributed scattered abroad, rehearsed in the.eara of humanity. Like the shepherds, wo are to relate it, preach it, proclaim it until all people shall know of Christ and His salvation. CALVARY PRESBYTERIAN. Rev. W. S. Gilbert Preaches on "The Supreme Revelation of God." At the Calvary Presbyterian Church special Christmas services were held. The church had been elaborately 'decorat ed and presented a beautiful appearance. Christmas music was rendered by the chorus choir. Rev. W. S. Gilbert, tho pastor, chose as his theme "The Supreme Revelation of God." "The birth .of Jesus has proven to be the greatest event of time," said the speaker. "The coming of Chrlfit into the world has dope more than any one thing to elevate the world. When we consider what his coming yet promises for the world it is easy to se why the birthday of Jesus Is the joy season for all men. The revelation of Gofi's power and in telligence may be seen everywhere. The heavens declare the glory of God. God has sent many messengers and teachers; we have heard his word. This word Is .a marvelous revelation of God's will. But the more we have been sur feited with messages and dictations the more have we longed for the word to bo made flesh, for the Immediate and per sonal manifestation. An earthly father who would not if he could, come nearer to his child than to send messages, would be an unnatural parent. Shall we. think that God would remain apart and unknown If he had power to make himself known to men"? The Incarnation of Christ is God's coming to. men that men might know him. "God has went us many gifts. But the gifts we orlze most and which reach our hearts, are those which have ?elf-sacrl-flce in them. The gifts that have cost something of love and of life are regenera tive. The widow's mite was the greater gift because it represented the greater sacrifice, revealing tho greater love. God glvea gifts of dn infinite love that rep resent real self-devotion. The incarnation of -Christ is God's unspeakable gift. "God Is a moral creature. The moral principles are his principles. Not by legal obligation,, but by moral goodness, God obeys his own moral laws. They are the laws of all his actions. 'We that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak.' This is a law of God, a law of his being. Even man cannot sit. stolidly by and look upon pain arid suffering and needand not be prompted to help if It be In his power. EVen an earthly father would, at great self-sacrifice, seek to help his child in trouble and In need. Shall we ex pect less of God? "The law of love Is a law of God. The incarnation Is the consummation of God's love, the inevitable result of It, the very glory of it. 'Herein Is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved vo and gave himself for us.' Even the shepherd will follow the lost sheep till he find it. Even the father will leave the comforts of home and will make sacrifice of life Itself, If need be, to find and save his child. The shepherd would have to go where the eheep was entangled ahd the same thorns would pierce his hands. So God, too, has come to find men and lift them up. This Is the Incarnation of Christ. The love of God manifest for man's uplifting. That great work could not be accomplished by might or magic or from afar, but only by fellowship In suffering and self-sacrifice In love's outpouring. Christ of Bethlehem Is that lQve manifest where needed most, indeed, present to every life In every time of need. 'He that humbleth himself shall bo exalted,' 'He that is greatest of all is the servant of all.' The incarnation of Christ Is, God's manifest fulfillment of all these laws, and is the love of God made known in terms of human life." GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH. Dr. H. J. Talbott Preaches Christmas Sermon at Taylor-Street Church. Dr. H. J. Talbott preached a Christmas sermon at the Taylor-Street. Methodist Church yesterday morning. The special Christmas song service will be held on next Sunday evening. The sermon was based upon the words: uod was manifest in the flesh." After saying that a fair translation requires us tp substitute "who" In place of "God" In the text, but that It did not change the great truth that the Divine One had be come incarnate, inasmuch as this doctrine was clearly and abundantly taught else where In the New Testament, the preacher developed the following points: "The Son of God became man In order to show us God. Ifhe was to reveal God to us, It was necessary for him to take our nature, since a aelf-revelatlon can be made only to one of like nature. Man cannot at all reveal himself to dead mat ter. He can reyeal himself to the lower animals only la so far as he Is animal; and not at all In the "higher ranges of his human nature. God is a spirit and man is spirit, but the spiritual nature in man was so overlaid and obscured that he could not be reached immediately, but must be ap proached by way of human kinship. Christ became man, not In the sense of Imposing the divine upon a human personality, nor yet In the sense of joining the divine na ture to the human, as two metal plates might be joined; but the two natures were interlocked and merged into each other, so that an entirely unique nature and per. sonallty was formed, and the gulf be. tween the divine and human was bridged. It is to be stoutly maintained, on the au thority of Scripture, that Christ was di vine and of the same nature as God the Father. Divine attributes are ascribed to him; divine acts are attributed to him; divine worship was paid him without re buke on his part; he -claims equality with the Father, and this claim of divinity la made for. him again and again; so that, seeing and nearly him, men would know how God thought of and would act to ward men, and would be able to under- stand the seeming Inconsistencies of di vine righteousness. "Christ came to show an ideal and pos sible 'manhood. His more than 30 years of life, in private and public, sets the pace for mankind. As a child, he was subject to his mother and to Joseph. As a man, he toiled and planned and contracted for worn in tne snop at Nazareth. Always, in private and in public, he was subject to all the worries and temptations that beat upon us. But bis was a life of trust, of obedience, and of content. He was un touched by the grime of sin, and was un shaken in loyalty to God. He. came to show what God's thought and desire for humanity are. 'Christ came to secure to men the rela tion of children in the household of God. and to make them heirs of heaven. Men say that we are by nature children of God, and so we are. in the poor sense of being made by him. and In the better sense ot having something of his nature. But, by transgression, we are banished and disin herited children if children at all. The Book speaks of us as 'strangers, "fpr- elgnere,' aliens, "bastards, 'enemies. So that It Is pretty clear that we are barred from the household. But -Christ put himself beside us to break away the barriers that shut us out He broke down the barrier of the law which was against us. suffering Its sentence in our behalf, He broke down, the barrier of bondage to satan. redeeming us, 'not with corrupt! ble things, such as .silver and gold,' but with his own blood. He broke down .the barrier of our estrangement from God, having 'reconciled us by the death of the cross.' so that we may now become fel low-cltlzens with the saints and cf the household of -God.' "Once he came In obscurity and In hu millty. He will come again in power and glory. If he should come tomorrow, what avail the honors, riches, pleasures, learn ing, of this world? Can you think of his pnmlne ncaln and have peace in tne thought? Or does It disturb you and dls arrance your plans? He will come some time, and suddenly. Let us so surrender to. him in loyal love and service, that we can look forward to his coming with peace and Joy!" AT THIRD PRESBYTERIAN. Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery Spoke of the SIsniflcnnce ot Christmas At the morning hour yesterday in the Third Presbyterian Church, East Side special music was. rendered appropriate to Christmas, and Rev. Andrew J. Mont gomery, the pastor, spoKe on tne topic. "The Word Became Flesh." It was Christmas sermon. He said in part: "The Incarnation of our Lord Is the elemental fact of Christianity. Our re lltrlon rests not on a creed, a cult, theory, a philosophy! or a theology, Dut on a fact In the range of human expert ence. 'The Incarnation points, to the pre-ex lstence of Christ. John asserts that he wns with God from 'the beclnnlnc. Paul views him as the true explanation of the universe. Peter declares that he waa the lamb of God foreordained from the foun datlon of the world. The eternity of the past Is linked 'to the present, and the Dresent Is bound to the throne of God by the birth at Bethlehem. 'The historic fact of the incarnation carries us back to Bethlehem. He was born In fulfillment of prophecy. All true rellsrlon contains a germ of prophecy, From the fateful day of the first slatho stream of prophecy widened and. deepened until the time, the place and many of its circumstances were predicted in regard to the advent of our Lord. This is the re llglous coloring. Look at the supernat ural in it. An angel appears to a priest to announce the birth of the forerunner. Gabriel makes- the annunciation to Virgin in Nazareth that she is to become the-mother of our Lord, according to the flesh. The air of the uplands of Beth lehem la filled with angels and their song has reached the ends of thev earth. It is said that if we drlvo out nature with Dltchfork she returns by another door. If we expel the supernatural we must yield to the superstitious, and the latter end of that is fatal. But this great event la framed in a bloody tragedy. Herod, out of selfishness, slew hundreds of Innocents Th2 Prince of Peace was unconsciously the cause of the murder of child life. At ter 19 centuries our Christianity is still framed In a tragedy. Today there are in fants perishing with cold and hunger who would live were it not for the gigantic curse of greed and intemperance. WORSHIP IN SONG.

THE EVENING F Declining years the time when one is on the other side of the hill, call for con stant care in the matter of nutrition. Life then depends so much on the body's power tp repair loss and waste. This power grows less and less. The ability to shake off local disorders and to draw heavily on the body's reserve force are privileges that youth alone can claim. With age comes slow move ment, slower operation of the whole body's forces. Trifles become burdens and we live in the past. Ordinary food no longer nourishes. Poor teeth, perhaps, and improper mastication give the stomach work that it is not supposed to do the digestion is taxed and" even injured when it should be troubled least. Many elderly persons get . strength and nourishment from Scott's Emulsion. It slips into the blood so quickly that the stomach is not aware of its presence. Not only does Scott's Emulsion furnish nourishment itself, but it helps to digest other food. It aids in the proper distribu tion of food benefits sim plifies the stomach's work. Moreover, the lime and soda contained in Scott's Emulsion in the f ornfof hypo phosphites nourish the bones and reduce the acid in the blood which feeds rheu matism. Then, too, the body must have fat, for fat is heat and heat is life. Cod liver oil as we find it ii? Scott's Emul-. sibn is the most easily di gested of all fats. Scott's Emulsion always helps when vitality is at a low ebb. We'll send you a sample free upon request. . SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York. Pronounced D e a d Heart Trouble.
