THE MOElSTSsG OEEGONIAN, MAECH' 6, 1905. THE AMERICAN METAPHYSICIAN Curing Hundreds by His Marvelous Power RESIDENTS FROM MANY TOWNS, SICK AND AFFLICTED, FLOCK TO THE PRESENCE OF THIS REMARKABLE MAN "He is possessed with some power beyond the human," says one. "His great work is a boon to humanity" a marvel to all. His Name Will Stand as an Imperishable Monument to Science When All Other Curative Powers Have Passed Into Oblivion. No drugs or surgery used. To be in his presence is heal ing in itself Like the sun, giving light, life, sympathy, encouragement and power. . No More Medicine. Dr. C. W. Harris, now a resident of Portland, has perfected a system, of treat ment whereby he is able, without dm? or medicine, to cure- disease In any form and has so systematized Its every- detail that he is able to teach the method of treatment to others. That yon may more intelligently con sider the matter, the following brief statements of his methods are made: The man who Is diseased in body or weakened In mind Is not in normal con ditionnot in the condition which God intended him to be. The system is out of equilibrium. "Whether this condition bo due to Indigestion, stomach trouble or to any other disease. It makes no difference. Br. Harris, by long investigation and experience, has evolved a plan of treat ment by which he Is able to restore the equilibrium in the disordered system; to overcome the false conditions which have been set up and to bring hack the dis eased body to health. Although his cures are so marvelous, they are perfectly nat ural, it is Nature's own cure. The cure is accomplished by calling Into activity the dormant power of the In valid, through the force commonly re ferred to as magnetism. The plan of pro cedure as evolved by Professor Harris is unfailing. Every one responds, and the Inevitable happens disease is expelled no medicine Is used, nor hypnotism, nor Christian Science. It is all rational and easily comprehended by the patient, who Is at the same time so instructed as to be able to keep himself in proper condition. No More Surgery. The scientific world is becoming more and more interested in the one impor tant subject perfect health. That drugs are a menace to our well being, in many cases aggravating the disorder, is an authenticated fact. This can well be called the age of cures, and every line of advancement along the way brings forth its multitude of doubters and scoffers. Nevertheless, the world moves and Improves. The spirit of progress Is everywhere apparent, and men and women are delving into the secrets of life deeper than ever before. rr. C W. Harris, of this city, has proven himself to be an honest, consci entious student of the laws that govern health. His work in this and other cities has proven him to be a man of marked ability. After long and careful research he has made a discovery which in its nature is unparalleled in the history of the world. Dr. Harris starts out by re asserting that disease with its countless pains and fears is not a natural condi tion. It is not born of Nature, nor of God. It is the handiwork of humanity Itself handed down from age to age. He maintains that the manifestation of any diseased condition of the body means simply a mlsadjustmcnt of the compli cated mechanism which God has placed within us to accomplish certain fixed re sults. The obvious conclusion is that if the machinery of these functions can be restored to harmonious action the body will again take up the Interrupted work and Nature will restore it to health and strength. No More Sickness. Every reader of The Oregonlan who grasps the meaning of this simple expres sion, "Banish sickness and disease," will Instantly perceive the Immeasurable pros pects which it opens. 'Think what hu manity can accomplish for Itself when freed from the dread and suffering of dis ease. Think what pleasure unfolds to a man who enjoys perfect health. Almost anything is possible to such a man or woman, their capacities are so broad ened. It Is absolutely beyond the comprehen sion of the finite mind to measure the benefits whicn will accrue to the human race, from the operations discovered and now taught by this master mind. No reader of this article has failed of an experience somewhere in his life which showed him incontrovertlbly that this something dwells within. It is com monly called magnetism, and under dif ferent guises, with greater or less at tempts at mysticism, is availed of by the magnetic healer, the hypnotist, the Chris tian Scientist and scores of others. The present generation should be thank ful that such treatment Is within their reach, and future generations will look back to the fact that Professor Harris has so systematized his method of treat ment that he Is. able, by a course of com prehensive lectures and personal instruc tion, to teach its principles to others. Any one can easily comprehend the the ory, and Professor Harris is able to de velop In the student the same ability to perform cures as is exercised by him. Classes Now Forming. Quite a number who have made -some study of metaphysics and a number of others who have become interested in the work through being cured of their dis eases, have asked Professor Harris to in struct them in the work. He has con cluded to do this, and at a very low rate, providing at least 50 people will Join this first-class course. There will never again be an opportunity for the develop ment of the human mind and will, as is offered by Professor Harris for the next ten days. The subject will be as thorough ly taught during this period, the same in struction will be given as is given wnen the regular charge of $100 is made. All those desirous of learning a profession for a few dollars that will make them from J10 to $25 a day the rest of their lives, besides being able to assist suffer ing humanity more than in any other walk of life, should see Professor Harris at once, for this present offer Is limited. Nothing could Inspire a man with greater feeling of superiority than to recognize the fact that he is able to accomplish things commonly regarded as little less than miraculous. Should a man not care to avail himself of this power for the noble purpose of healing- the afflicted, it will be of immeasurable benefit in the successful conducting of business; in fact, no one should attempt any business pur suit until he has become acquainted with his own mental environment the mastery of self Is the true key to success in every thing, and this self-mastery is obtained through the Instruction given by Pro fessor Harris.

BEST GIFT OF GOD Dr. Short Speaks on Influence of Good Women, HOWE IS WOMAN'S THRONE Popular Clergyman Declares It Is Good to Hear Her Voice In Forum, but Not When It Interferes With Household Duties. Dr. Francis Burgette Short has been the pastor of the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church tor one year, and in celebration of that period of service he preached an anniversary sermon yester day morning before an exceptionally large congregation. During the year of Dr. Short's pastor ate the membership of the church has grown from 630 members in full standing to 757 full members and 37 probationary members. Thirty-seven members have been given certificates to other churches and the Sunday school has nearly doubled its numbers in point of attendance. The sum of $1000 has been raised for the support of a mission at Lahore, India, besides the regular contributions given to the missionary boards of thechurch. A junior choir of 30 voices has been or ganized, which furnishes the music at the Sunday-morning services. Tho mid week prayer meetings have become one of the most important services in the church and large crowds listen to the sermon each Sunday evening. In no church in this ,clty does a greater spirit of harmony prevail among the mem bers and officers than in the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal. The efforts of the official board have been rewarded with success in raising funds and there Is a general air of good feeling between the pastor and the members. Last night Dr. Short spoke on "God's Best Gift to Earth: or, the Life and In fluence of a Good Woman." He took as his text, Mark xlv:S, "She hath done what she could." Dr. Short spoke in part as folows: All Women Not Like Mary. " From Herodotus, the father of his tory until now, was never such spoken as Christ said of Mary, 'She hath done what she could. We do not presume to Imply that the world abounds in women of whom a like declaration would be true. Indeed, wo know too well that his tory's pages have been forever stained bN the lives of the Biblical Jezebel, the iiasslc and historic Cleopatra and Lu iretla Borgia, the modern history of France by the Marchioness Brlnvllllers. But while these have brought shame upon themselves and disgrace upon their sex. while they proved to be destroying fac tors in the moral lives of men and women as well, yet we thank God that the great majority has always been on the side of right. Women Blessing Society. Some women are doing what they can to bless human society. Social life in many respects Is composed of certain CianV, cliques and classes. These .are de cided for some before birth, and by no personal ability are they able to rise above their seemingly predestined posi tion. To be a millionaire means to asso ciate with the so-called elite class of so ciety, whether one's moral life merits it or not. This condition of affairs must -sooner or later receive its deathblow. The time Is rapidly approaching when every man any every woman shall stand or fall upon their own personal merit or demerit To whom shall we be Indebted for the com ing of such, a condition of affairs? 2Cot to the men, for it Is not theirs to regulate social conditions; not to the so-called so cial leaders among women; but to those who live and judge men and women In the light of personal fitness and worth, and who aro teaching the world the same lesson which Christ taught, that principle is worth more than position and charac ter worth more than cash. Home Is Woman's Throne, "Woman is doing what she can in the home. Home Is her throne. Here she sits queen, and. woe to the man who dis turbs her relgtiy Hero we find her as wife, prov'rs 'ner God-given mission as man's comforter and helpmeet. True, there may be wives who are not a help meet, but I sincerely believe that there are more whole-hearted, self-sacrificing and devoted wives than thero are hus bands of4 the same character. "I rejoice- In the fact of woman's Inter est In the current questions and reforms of the day. I delight to hear her voice in the forum, and no one will accord her moro privileges than will I, but it Is my humble opinion that no woman can afford to do those things if by so doing she neglects her household duties. Woman's highest duty Is In the home as wife and mothor." WILL SETTLE HERE First of the Colonists Are in Oregon, THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED ALL-DAY RALLY IS HELD. Interesting Services at First United Brethren Church. At the First United 'Brethren Church, East Morrison and Fifteenth streets, an all-day rally was hold yesterday, many prominent ministers and members being preesnt from other portions of the state. Elder F. H. Ncff preached at 11 o'clock, and at 1 P. M. luncheon was served in the lecture-room. "Why I Am a United Brethren" was the subject of the mass meeting held at S o'clock in the afternoon, led by Rev. H. C. Shaffer, pastor. Aftor prayer by Rev. C E. Cline, Rer. Mr. Shaffer told why he was a member of the United Brethren Church. He said among other things that while the church was loyal to the denomination it was broad enough to see the good In all the other denominations. Indeed, Mr. Shaffer had found the Methodist Episcopal Church so congenial that he married a Methodist girl, and he advised the young men of tho United Brethren Church to do the same. To the young ladies, however. Rev. Shaffer tendered the advice that they marry Pres byterian and Baptist young men and then bring them Into the United Brethren Church, on the principle that church union was a good thing. Elder F. H. Nelt followed in a talk along the same line. He said he liked the United Brethren Church because of Its representative principles. and ho strongly commended its broadness. It was both open-headed and open-handed. It was close to the common people and kept in touch with 'their wants. Other short talks were made by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hengle, M. W. Bartmess, Hon. T. J. Coon, Dr. C. E. Cllne and others. In the evening Rev. E. H. Neff. again preached. Music for the day was fur nished by J. A. Henkle. M. W. Bartmess, Mrs. J. M. C Miller, W. W. Rosebraugh. CHURCH PAYS ITS DEBTS. First Cumberland Presbyterian Cele brates Pastor's Anniversary. The congregation of the First Cumber land Presbyterian Church, East Twelfth and Taylor streets, celebrated the second anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. E. Xelson Allen yesterday by raising at the morning services, which Is enough to pay off all debts. There was a large attendance. Rev. E. Nelson Allen, who accepted a call to the church two years ago, and who has taken a prominent place in ministerial circles and reform movements of this city, made a short talk, congratulating the members on the progress made, their loyalty to the work and predicting greater things In the year to come. He has re ceived 106 members since he became pas tor. Following Mr. Allen's talk the depart ments reported. The following were the speakers: Clarence Steele, Christian Endeavor So ciety: Mrs. E. B.

Grove 5c They Will Distribute Themselves Evenly Throughout the Fertile Valleys of the Northwest and Add to Its Wealth. It was the second day for the arrival of Eastern colonists, and judging from the passengers who passed through the gates of the Union Depot to spread them selves throughout the city, and from here Into the different parts of the Wil lamette Valley, the movement to the West is now on in good way and will be heavier than was at first expected. Great preparations have been made by the passenger departments of the trans continental lines In anticipation of the heavy colonist movement to the North west during tho ten days of the open rate, and It seems that their expecta tions are to be more than realized. Reports from the Eastern rltlfts frnm which tho movements took their start ten or trains crowded to the last seat which have loft Missouri-River points each day since the opening of the rate. This long string of train-load after train-load of colonists is now stretching out across the country headed for the West. The first two trains have reached the city with what is left of the original number, and the rest are following and will not have all rrxiched the Coast for ten days or more. ,i It is estimated ilat more than 5000 people will be broight to the North west from the East and Middle West "while these rates are In effect Just what proportion of this total number will ever reach Portland is a matter of conjecture. Several hundreds of people have already stopped through Eastern Washington and Oregon and throughout the State of Idaho, and may locate there if all is found satisfactory. Yesterday perhaps a hundred passengers reached Portland undcl the colonist rates though the estimate is approximate with the railroad men. These will In all prob ability leave again in a short time for places along the valleys of the Willlam otto and Rogue Rivers as well as for the southern and central parts of the state. ' Judging from the correspondence com- ins uHJiy t.o me omces of the Commer cial Club, and the other organizations which make it a business to guide the traveler to pleasant fields, the colonists who are coming to the state will scatter pretty evenly over the entire state, if they stop hero at all. The advertising matter sent out Is having effect, and each section of the state Is beginning to greet those who have made the journey here to see for themselves, whether, or not the literature sent out has told the truth. It is confidently expected then that the colonist movement will be heav ier this year than was contemplated, and that thousands of new people will find homes in Oregon, as well as the other Northwestern states. MOKE HONOR IS.DJJE PARENTS Obedience the Real Foundation of Our Homes and Our Government. "Honor Due Our Parents' was the sub ject of an opportune and vigorous dis course yesterday morning by Rev. G. W. Plumer. at the First Evangelical Church, East Sixth and Market streets. "Honor and obedience." said Rev. ifr. Plumer. "constitute tho real foundation of home and government. The tendency of tho present-generation of growing chil dren is toward disregard of their parents and disobedience of their commands, a tendency dangerous to tho perpetuity of the borne and our Government as well, as destruction of home ties disintegrates the foundation o iho overnlsf jjowerw Christ set the example of obedience by commanding children to obey their par ents. We honor God when we honor our parents. Our children owe honor and obe dience to their parents, for the care they receive and for the great sacrifice par ents make constantly for their welfare. I undertake to say that parents should demand and require obedience from their children. "What a shameful spectacle we see every night in this city of children of ages from 12 to 15, and even younger, roaming the streets in apparent disregard of the commands of their parents. What utter shame to tho parents of such young children that they cither have no con trol over them, or if they have, do not ex ercise it, and their home tics, the sweet est relations on earth, become broken never to bo restored, and with the resplt that our Government is made so much weaker. "Example of parents has much to do with the training of children, and will al ways tend to direct their young and ten der feet toward virtue and honor. If the parents honor God by living an honorable Christian life, then can they require their children to obey them and live corre sponding honorable lives; but not so with the Godless parent. He can require nothing of his children neither obedience nor respect. So tho responsibility of par ents to train their children cannot be escaped, neither can the results of fail ure to merit and require obedience of them."

Henry T. Atkinson's sermon at tho Epworth M. E. Church, corner of Twenty-third and Irving streets, yester day morning. The text was Luke, xxiv:2a. The pastor pictured the two disciples traveling from Jerusalem to Emmaus, conversing sorrowfully about the cruci fixion of Christ and with It the seeming failure of all their hopes, when suddenly they were joined by a mysterious stran ger whom they were unable at first to recognize as Christ himself, but who pointed out to them that their grief was the result of their own imperfect under standing of the Scriptures, which resulted In the formation of false theories which obscured the truth. "Much modern religious difficulty is the result of similar causes. That their Mes siah should suffer and die was an utter confllction with the theories his disciples had formed, therefore they overlooked tho Scriptures, which testified that he would. So some moderns form certain theories which develop Into fads and isms, and reject such Scriptures as aro In conflict with their theories, and the result Is that the veriest absurdities are some times practiced in tho name of religion. Christ, however, taught the two disciples that the correct standpoint from which to study him Included the cross, and be fore he left them he made them under stand that he who was to be the vic torious Christ of God was also to be de spised and rejected of men. "An additional fact frequently throws much light on what before was Imperfect ly understood. Our attitude here should be that of trust. Some day, on a higher spiritual plane, we shall gain a knowledge of facts that will explain the mysteries in your life and mine which perplex us now, and In that day we shall realize that the wisdom of God -was often illus trated in the faith which was simple enough to take him at his word." To Buy Irrigated Lands. An excursion party of ten persons left Tacoma Friday evening for Two Rivers, Wash., for the purpose of looking over and buying lands which, have been re claimed by the Snake River Irrigation Company.

It Was Being Taken Out of Stearns Building for Removal to Exposi tion Grounds When th Ac cident Took Place. Damage to the extent of several hun dred dollars was caused shortly after noon yesterday by a heavy safe crash ing down the elevator shaft of the Stearns building. Sixth and Morrison streets. The safe was being removed from the Lewis and Clark Exposition headquarters on the third floor of the building to tho ground, for transportation to the Centennial grounds, and the accident resulted from tho parting of a new rope which had been warranted strong enough to sustain sev eral times the weight of the safe. Preparations were made yesterday morning for the removal of the heavy safe. The elevator was lowered to the basement, and a heavy beam was thrown across the elevator shaft at the fourth story, upon which the rigging was placed. The safe was hitched to the rigging as usual, and when power was applied It be gan to move toward the shaft. A3 it swung out over the shaft and tha entire weight of the safe was forced upon the ropes, the ropo broke suddenly, letting the safe crash down the shaft. Cables were torn away by the falling weight, which crashed through the roof of the elevator, wrecking that piece of ma chinery, and came to rest on the base ment floor. The safe was also badly de molished. "Every precaution was taken," said H. W. Goddard, president of tho Oregon Auto Dispatch Company, which was doing the moving, "and there was no reason to ex pect such an accident. This was the first safe we have moved, and tho ropes were new. My superintendent told me that he purchased the ropes Saturday night, and that they were warranted to stand a strain from a weight several times heavier than the safo we were mov ing.
