5 THE ilORNIKO OREGOXIAK. FRIDAY, MAY V 1903. INSTALLAPftSTOR Feilow Ministers Honor Rev. E. L House. HIS CREED IS ACCEPTED Formally Welcomed to First Congregational Church. DR. J. K. M'LEAN MODERATOR -Thirty-Two Cnnrches Represented Isl Installation, the First Held by Denomination 5n O re sent for -15 Years. What Dr. E. Ij. House Belle-res. He believes the Bible Is the Word of God, but does not accept any one the ory of Inspiration to the entire exclu elon of others. The message of the eacred writers was colored by the pe culiarities of the age and the authors. The Bible does not claim to be free from mistakes, he says: He believes In the atonement of sins by the death of Christ. He believes In the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, as the third person of the Trinity. He believes In tho oneness of believ ers, whatever denomination they may belong- to. He belleves.in prayer. He cays the Sabbath should be a day of worship. He believes In a future life, the resur rection of the dead, and the day of judgment. To those "who ask whether infants and the heathen will be eternally damned, he answers, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" He cays if there are errors in Scrip ture, let us readjust our creeds.. The first installation of a .pastor of a Congregational church which has oc curred In Oregon for 45 years took place yesterday when the Rev. Edwin Lincoln House was installed asjmstor of the First Congregational Church. The salary of Dr. House will be $3000 a 'year, with a vacation of four weeks, and the position is to be held by him indefi nitely, the contract helng terminable at the instance of either the congregation or himself by giving a notice of three months. Previous to the ceremony Dr. House was asked to state his religious belief, and the members of the congregation at the ecclesiastical council which had been called together for the occasion were in vited to ask the candidate any questions as to his creed which they might think advisable or necessaryA The statement of his faith, however, which Dr. House made to the assemblage was so complete and ex haustive that when the moderator an nounced that any one who so desired might now question the candidate, no one arose, and Dr. House was not cate chised. "After the lucid explanation of his theo logical belief that Dr. House has made to us," said Dr. McLean, "it seems al most impertinent to ask for any further information as to his creed." For nearly a year Dr. House has been acting as pastor of the First Church, one of the largest and wealthiest congrega tions in the city. His service proved most acceptable, and in January last It was decided to invite him to accept the posi tion permanently. Upon his favorable consideration of the proposal prepara tions were commenced for his official In stallation, and the following letter was oint to all Congregational churches of this Btate, to some of those in "Washington and California, and to a number of eminent pastors of the creed as individuals: Dear Brethren: The great head of the church has kindly united us and the con gregation statedly worshiping with us In the choice of Rev. Edwin Lincoln House. D. D., to be our pastor and teacher, and he has accepted our Invitation to that office, subject to the advice of council: we, therefore, affectionately request your attendance, by your pastor and a delegate, in ecclesiastical council, at our house of worship in this place on Thursday, the seventh day of May next, at 3:30 o'clock P. M., to examine the candidate, review our proceedings and advise us in reference to the same; and if judged expedient, to assist in the installation service.

McLean, D. D.; Pro fessor C. S. Nash; President S. B. L. Penrose, Principal H. L. Bates. Rev. C. F. Clapp, Rev. Howard N. Brldgman and Rev. T. Eaton Clapp, D. D. Tne council was called to order yester day afternoon by Rev. D. B. Gray. The roll of churches was called, and a quo rum found to be present. Dr. J. K. McLean, president of the Pa clflc Theological Seminary at Berkeley, m CaL, was chosen moderator, there being no other nominations, and Rev. C- E, Chase, pastor of the Hassalo-Street Church, was elected scribe. After the reading of a passage of Scripture. Dr. McLean announced that the proceedings of the church by which Dr. House had been, called to the pastorate of the First Church would be reviewed. C H. Gaylord, clerk of the church; thereupon read the resolution of the con gregation, the letter from the church to the society, or hoard of the creed in Ore gon, asking that the approval of the church at large be given to this move, the letter extending the invitation to Dr. House, and his reply thereto, which lat ter was dated March 29. The credentials of the pastor-elect were then called for, and Dr. House respond .d by handing to the scribe for public reading a set of resolutions adopted by the Free Evangelical Church, of Provi dence, R. J., expressing the highest ap preciation of his work In that field and the keenest .possible regret at being un able to offer him sufficient inducements to remain. Of his enthusiastic devotion to his pastoral duties the resolution spoke In terms both lengthy and eulogistic. Other papers, such as letters recommend ing him for membership in the Minister ial Association of Oregon and his ordina tion papers, -were also presented. It was moved and carried that the credentials be accepted without further question. "It has been suggested," said the mod erator, after some further discussion, "that the candidate make at this time a statement of his theological belief." And in response Dr. House detailed to the council, his belief in the vital points of the creed of the, church. His Mind Receptive. "I would not have you suppose." said Dr. House, as he faced the assemblage, "that I look upon 'the brief outline I shall make of my belief as its final form, for our creed must always be -kept open for revision. There must be room for growth. Our minds must always be In that attitude of intellectual hospitality which enables a growing soul to receive the fresh light which dally breaks forth from the word of God." Dr. House prefaced his theological dis course by saying that he always felt that his theological experience dated from the time when, at the age of 2, his father, re turning wounded from the Civil "War, had, dedicated him to the service of God. "But in my early youth," said Dr. REV. E. L.

House, "I came under the influence of an unbeliever, a skeptic. Little by little I fell away from the Christian faith, until one evening I attended a religious meet ing out of curiosity. Before its close I felt that I had once more been called back into the fold, and resolved to lead a Christian life, although I had at that time no thought of entering the ministry. Later I 6tudled theology with my pastor. and some years afterwards refused to en ter a business partnership that was of fered to me, feeling that I was Indeed called to preach the gospeL" in speaking of his creed, Dr. House said in part: My theology starts with a deep and personal conviction of the reality of sin. I found that, as the first fact in my own heart, and as I had never committed any nagrant transgression, I could not but feel that tne sin which was so real to me must in the nature of the case occupy a similar position in the hearts of other men. There- tore, tne conviction or universal sin is the starting point of my doctrinal views. So while I believe man was created in the image of God, he has, with entire freedom of will, in fact if not of necessity, sinned. "with this as my starting point I nat urally turn to the Bible for light The Bible Is theword of God, the only perfect rule or raitn ana practice. Tne crediDility of the Bible Is proven iby various consid erations, as Its unity, its lofty spirit har monizing with the sublimity of its prophe cies and their historic fulfillment; the candor and simplicity of its writers, their information as to facts, their faith in what they wrote proven by the severest tests and the life-giving effects wrought in the world bv cneir worcs. Essentials Remain the Same. Tho essentials of our faith remain the same in every age and clime. Tho root principles and fundamental doctrines of the Bible are what they always have been. The wickedness of man; the love of God in nhrist; the power of the holy spirit; the immortality of the soul; the atonement made for sin on Calvary, through which alone may come salvation to the lost; the punishment of all unbe lievers these are mountain peaks; and the passage of thunder through the air can not move them an inch. "Clouds may set tle around them, tempests search their sides, lijrbtnlnss scar their surface and fires girdle their slopes; but neither cloud nor storm, neither lightning nor the fierce ness of many fires, can ever remove them from the landscape of divine truth. For ages they have stood, and for stfl ages they will stand, outlined In grandeur, their vast proportions brought into bold relief against the background of the eternal world." His Views on the Bible. Although I accept tho Bible as the word of God, I cannot say that I accept anv one theory of inspiration to the entire exclusion of every other theory. The Bi ble interprets God to humanity. It Is the inspired unveiling of his character. The sacred writers could not have been left to themselves, to their own unaided wis dom. In producing a book which has wrought such mighty changes In the world. They must have been guided Into the truth. They must have been guarded from error prejudicial to the aim of God In giving the book. The Inspiration in most Instances was rather the attending and moving power of the holy spirit than the mechanical process of using prophets and apostles merely as unconscious trans mitters of the divine message. They were not mere amanuenses. God filled their hearts full of truth, and their minds fufl of ilght and then through these men came the divine, unsullied message; yet a mes sage colored by the peculiarities of the age and the authors, who lost no tittle of their personality when they became a medium between God and man. The Bible Is not a text-book on geology or astronomy or sociology. It does not pre tend to be. it alleges no tiue to infalli bility. It does not claim to be free from mistakes. The Bible speaks to us In the language of the time, to teach us about God. about ourselves, about duty, and most of all about Jesus Christ as the only way to heaven. The only science it teaches Is the science of salvation, and the only art the art of holiness. Doctrine of the Atonement. The atonement originated in the love of God. He meant to establish his kingdom In this sinful world. But sin stood in the way of this end of his plan and works. The establishment of the kingdom Is Im possible without the restoration of sin ners. The first step toward complete Sal vation Is forgiveness. The door to the kingdom is reconciliation. But God is not merely love. God cannot with due regard to his own holiness pardon the sinner cut tf hand; atonement must be made .for his sin. Yet the sinner cannot make atone- ment for himself. He is ot"only gullty but helpless. He cannot take the first step toward righting the wrong he has done to God. He has nothing to offer. God as an atonement. And so Christ died for us. Defects of Other Theerles. The matter with the larger number of the theories of the atonement Is, not that they are wholly wrong, but that they are only partly light. But partly right, they surely are; for they hold In them an ele ment of truth indispensable to a clear and complete view of the significance of the cross. The theory that Christ was a martyr the noblest one who ever surrendered his life to the cause of humanity, but yet only a martyr and that his redemptive efficiency lies in the example of his lidel ity to conscience, has a measure of truth in it, and so is of some value. The moral Influence theory, in which It is denied that tho sufferings of Christ were necessary to the removal of obsta cles to the pardon of sin existing In the divine mind, but only to the removal of obstacles in the mind of the sinner, holds in it a ground of appeal which Is of great worth. The governmental theory, In which It Is insisted that the government of the uni verse cannot be maintained, and law pre served In its authority, unless the pardon of offenses Is accompanied by some ex hibition of .the high estimate which God sets upon the moral order and the impor tance of securing and keeping moral order by magnifying the sacredness of every or dinance he has established and every com mandment he has imposed, has a support in the nature of things, but even this theory does not go far enough. "Well has one of our best thinkers said: "Theories of the atonement will vary. It remains for us to proclaim the" fact. I be- HOUSE lleve that the true and effective way of preaching it Is to preach Christ as God Incarnate.'and Christ crucified, as gather ing mysteriously and wonderfully all the sin and sorrow and wickedness and mis ery of the universe upon his divine shoul der, and in modes more numerous than we can tell, more mysterious than we can fathom, bearing them all always, so that as a. barrier between God and man they shall be no more, forever. "Thus does Christ emphasize the wrong of sin, condemns it and yet expiates it and shows love available for all and triumph ant over evil." Believes In the Holy Spirit. But I do not find my salvation to rest ultimately In an historic Christ, one who lived and died In the past. I find It in a present ana living Christ, made known by the spirit of God who dwells in us and speaks to us. I therefore believe In the holy spirit. To a Christian people who believe in the fundamentals of religion, the doctrine of the holy spirit is the most Important and vital theme that can be discussed. There are three persons In the trinity, the same in substance, equal in power and glory, yet but one God. The holy spirit in his special relation to the Christian economv was not sent down until Pentecost. But as a person in the holy trinity he has been operating irom tne Beginning, with Fen tecost, however, begins the dispensation oi tne spirit. The Kingdom of God. I also find that the Bible tells of a king dom pi uoa, not as a iuure event,- out as a present fact unfolding here and now. Of this kingdom of God the church Is the visible witness. It Is the chief Instrument by which the work of the kingdom is done on earth. I am sure that God has charged me to be his umbassador and witness to other men that he has made me a minis ter of tho reconciliation between, himself and sinners, which he has accomplished through his Son. I find myself moved. therefore, by every motive of which a grateful heart Is capable, to do what I can to make known the salvation of Christ to the world and to help men to come Into the life of the kingdom and share In the work of the church which represents It. 1 believe that the mission of all who are members of the church is so far the same. ana mat we are set to press this issue and to help and hasten men to choose for Christ, and to Join his cause. Tlie Variety of Churches. I believe In the oneness of believers, of whatever name, who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe In the fellow ship of men whose lives are renewed by the spirit, and who are striving to live under the conscious guidance of his In dwelling. While I recognize that there Is room for large variety of church organizations and of Christian work and statement of truth, I have come to believe that the polity of Ke Congregational church Is most In ac-coi- with the church of the apostles in its method of organization and simplicity. Still, while I have my preference, I love the church better than a church. God's true church Is larger than any that man's hand has formed. There are many flocks but one shepherd. There are many tribes, but one kingdom, and In my allegiance to my tribe I would never prove disloyal to my king. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper are more than water, bread and wine. Although of no value of them sllves, rightly received they are Chrlst'3 body. In whom dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily. The Sabbath Is set apart by God for wor ship In the sanctuary. It Is made for man. to help him by instruction, still more by devotion, to rehearse the songs of heaven, and to be at home with God. The week day says, "Let. us work"; the Sabbath says, "Let us pray." I believe In God as the hearer and an- try to reconcile prayer wiui uiviue ae crees. I believe God answers prayer sometimes in saying "No," as well as at other times In saying "Yes." The Future Life. I believe In a future life concerning which the Bible Impresses me more by Its reticence -than by its revelations. I believe In a. resurrection and a judgment which will be righteous and merciful. I have- no- occasion to Invent or conjec ture "future probation." I have no author ity from the word of God to Judge those that are without; ncr do I conceive that anv man living has a right to sentence all the heathen world, to damnation. God is the God of the whole earth, and not any little patch or corner of It. For the heath en, the unfortunate, the Infant, I rest my soul on the question Abraham asked thou sands of years ago, "'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" I have no fear of the so-called "higher criticism." Let.1t go on. If there are er rors in scripture, let us see them. If we have believed too much or too little, let us readjust our creeds. We want the truth. Ignorance Is not the mother of devotion that Is a heresy from the dark ages. "We cannot build stone walls around the Bible. We cannot frighten scholar ship away by saying, "Talie your unsanc tlfied hands off from the sacred oracles of God." Investigation will go on. Only one thing have we any right to demand rev erence and honesty. And I believe that the heart and mind of the best scholarship of our day can be trusted. -The heresy I fear is not that of the' higher criticism, not that of probation after death, not that of evolution, and J other kindred heresies, but that of the deity, and atonement of Jesus, ana tne heresy of not loving men with all my mind, soul and strength, for their salva tion In a word. then, mv creed Is Christ without whom'Christiaulty Is nothing. He Is the interpreter of the divine mind. He is the center of all revelation. To him all revelation points. Christ is in the Old Tes tament prophetically, and in the New Tes tament historically, into tne ministry oi this clorious trosDel God has, brought me. all unworthy of so great an honor. I en ter upon this pastorate not to do anything spectacular or to say anything unparal leled, but simply to tell with simplicity and earnestness, to all who are willing to llstentbe old, old story of Jesus and his love. To him be all the glory and praise, world without end. Amen. At the conclusion of' Dr. House's expo sition of faith it was moved that his statement be accepted without question and that tho ceremony of installation proceed. . Some objection was made to this, it being urged that those who wished to question Dr. House on doctrinal points should have an opportrunlty to do so. After much debate the jtobtibn was with drawn and. the moderator asked the as semblage If any person desired to cate chise the candidate. In the church there was a dead silence. Once more the moderator spoke. "Is there any person here present who desires to ask a question of the candi date?" he asked. "Let him now speak or else forever after hold his peace." Again there was no response, and It was moved that the council go into ex ecutive session. When they returned to the church, it was. announced .that they had found Dr. House to be a satisfactory candidate In every respect and that the ceremony of Installation would be per formed at tho evening session. The as semblage then adjourned until 8 P. M. SEW PASTOR WELCOMED. Formal Installation Service nt First Congregational Church. The formal Installation exercises com mencing at S o'clock In the evening opened with prayer by Rev. J. J. Staub, of Sunnyslde Church. The minutes of the council were then read by Scribe C. E.J Chase, bf the council. A special hymn was then read by Rev. Cephas Clapp, of the Forest Grove church, after which Rev. Howard A. Brldgman, managing editor of the Congregatlonallst, of Bos ton, read a Scriptural passage. "The Lord Is My Light" was sung as a duet by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and "W. H. Boyer. The Installation sermon was preached by Dr. Charles R. Brown, of the First Con gregational Church of Oakland, Cal. It was a masterly effort on the subject of the transfiguration, and he most touch lngly referred to the ministerial duties of the pastor as exemplified by the wofk of Christ. Professor Charles S. Nash, of the Pacific Theological Seminary, of Oak land, offered the Installing prayer, after which Mr. Boyer sang "Beyond the Hills." The charge to the pastor was de livered by President John K. McLean, of the Pacific Theological Seminary. Dr. McLean's remarks were practical and pointed and the tiew pastor and his con gregation were visibly affected. It was the part of Rev. "William C Kantner. of the First Congregational Church of Salem, to extend the. fellowship of the church in Oregon to Dr. House. This he did In a most cordial address. Che choir then ren dered "The Choir Angelic," after which Dr. Amory H. Bradford, of Montclalr, N. J., of the National Congregational Coun cil, made the charge to the people, im pressing especially the necessity of will ing co-operation on the part of the con gregation with the minister. The churches of Portland, through Rev. Edgar P. Hill, then extended a warm welcome to Dr. House. Rev. E. T. Ford, of Tacoma, of fered the closing prayer, another hymn was sung and the benediction by the pas tor ended the service. The lower portion of the church was crowded, and the genuineness of the formal welcome to his pastorate must have been very gratifying to Dr. House. At 6 o'clock In the evening tho instal lation supper wa3 served In the church parlors at which 150 persons, represent ing the clergy and laity of the church, were served. Judge J. B. Clcland acted as toastmastcr, toasts being responded to by Rev. C. H. Daniels, of Boston; Rev. E. T. Ford, of Tacoma; Rev. Horace Day, of Los Angeles: Rev. Mr. Singer, Rev. Walter Free, Rev.
