THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1906. HE CLAIMS TO BE 11 Rev. P. J. Green, ex-Preacher, Asserts Faith Will Cure All Ills. CITES MIRACULOUS CASES Patients, lie Says, Are Healed Much More Easily When He Re ceives Proper Remunera tion for His Services. PORTLAND'S NEW HEALER. Portland has a new apostle of faltn cure, or divine- healing. Rev. P. J. Green, former pastor of Memorial Evangelical Church, of this city, and atill a minister of that denomination, has Issued a statement, asserting ale belief In psychic healing and claiming that he has already4 effected many cures of a miraculous nature. He says that his cures are performed through divine aid and that the character of. the disease or the distance from the patient makesjio difference In the results. Rev. P. J. Green, formerly the pastor of the Memorial Evangelical Church on Kast Eighteenth and Tlbbetts streets, and still a. member of the Oregon Conference of the Evangelical Association, has be become an apostle of psychic and divine healing. Some time before Rev. Mr. Green ceased to be pastor of Memorial Church, he had Investigated the subject, and gradually became convinced that his duty lay in that direction, although It cannot be said that the members of the Oregon Conference who knew of his ten- ( nency approved of his course. At last he landed firmly among the advocates of lusyohic and divine healing. At the annual conference held at I,ents a year and a half ago. Rev. Mr. IJreen's position on that subject cost him Ms appointment to Memorial or to any other Evangelical Church, and it Is said to have been due to Bishop Breyfogel, who presided, that Rev. Mr. Green was not put outside the pale of the church. He was one of the ablest men in the Oregon Conference, and was so recog nized, and was strong enough to retain his membership In the organization In spite of the disapproval of a considerable number of the ministers. A prominent member of the Oregon Conference said last week that Rev. Mr. Green may again take a pastorate, and that he Is etill a minister in good standing, without an appointment at present because of out tilde employment. In his manifesto, ex- , plaining his position on divine healing, ; Rev. Mr. Green says: Authority From Bible. "We believe the healing gift spoken of by Paul In First Corinthian, 12:9, Is pres ent today, but Is dormant ancl unmani fet, because It is wrapped up In a nap- ' kin of Ignorance and prejudice; at least, we know that people can be and are being healed by the score through our treatment and faith exercises. Christ Is all in all. He Is health and life; the New Testament teaches that believers are members of Christ's body, of His . flenh and of His bone; hence people who believe ought to be able to be healea. When the church, which Is His body, also His bride for both are one will unfold the napkin and dig this gift or talent out of hate and prejudice in which It has been burled by unbelief, and will enter Into the experience re corded in Ephesians, 4:13, then will be fulfilled the prophecy of Jesus, 'He that bclieveth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; ancl greater works than these shall he do, because I go to My Father.' ' To say the gifts of the spirit are lost Is to admit that the spirit Is not able to preserve the gilts. The facts are these: The gifts are neither lost nor stolen, but wrapped in a napkin and hid den away from suffering humanity. If Jesus came to earth again mcthinks he would give a scathing rebuke for the nonuse of this powerful, soul-winning .weapon. The commission to preach the gospel is accompanied In the same breath to heal the sick. "We can with your co-operation enable ynu to touch the hem of Christ's gar ment deep down In your soul. The king dom of heaven, which means Christ's control, which further means harmony and power. Is within you, and when we touch this power with the finger of faith the result Is healing. We do not ask what your creed or religion is. We do not ask you to leave any church. We believe in freedom of conscience and of the liberty of choice. It matters not if you are a Jew. Greek, barbarian. Gentile, Catholic or Protestant God loves you and has provided divine laws by which you can lie healed. We give treatment for the overthrow of any disease. It matters not how far you are from us there Is no such thing as distance to the soul and spirit. We have had perfect success with. pa tients cast of the Mississippi River." Poctors Still Useful. Rev. Mr. Green does not advise that doctors and drugs be forsaken. "People, however, come to us when drugs fall and are healed," he" says. "We know there is more power In God's spirit and the laws of the soul than there is in drugs. We also know that our father has good will toward all men and wishes the sick to receive his healing power. "Do you charge for treatment?" you ask. Yes. Compen sation is the law of nature and the law of the spirit. Experience teaches us that people get healed faster when they pay than when they do not." Rev. Green gives a long list of people he has healed and cites one case at Benton Ridge, Ohio, 3000 miles away, which he says he healed. Recently a woman In Stephen's Addition said her little baby was In a. very dangerous con dition, and she could do absolutely noth ing for the infant, who appeared to be dying. She sold that she called up Rev. Mr. Green over the telephone and ex plained the situation, and in less than 15 minutes the terrible fever had sub sided and the child was sleeping peace fully. Two cases of appendicitis are al leged to have been healed without the aid of the surgeon's knife. An Infant low with scrofula, given up by two doctors who declared the child could not live till morning, was cured almost instantly, according to testimony of the mother. Tuberculosis Is healed In a few weeks, he says. Rev. Mr. Green appears to be thorough ly sincere and honest, and a man of ed ucation. He bases his position on di vine and psychic healing on the teach ings of Christ. He recognizes Christ as the fountain head and source of his heal ing power. "Christ was the most miraculous per son in the world's history," he says, "yet he was also the most natural person, and what he did he did through natural, mental and spiritual laws. Some of these DIVINE HEALER laws are known today and can be put into operation by those who understand them; others are not understood and cannot be put into operation except by accidental compliance with the necessary conditions. In dealing with the sick we are using only the laws which God has created, and claim that it la legitimate and right to do so, to overcome pain, sickness and premature death."

Father O'Hara said: "Pride, in the Catholic view of things, is not merely one among many sins; It is the first of the capital sins, the foun tainhead from whence all other sins flow. Humanity an honest recognition of our own limitations and of our dependence on God Is therefore in Catholic eyes the only safe foundation of virtue. Humility is here understood not in the pharisaio sense of a feigned or forced depreciation of oneself, but in the Christian sense of a just and reasonable subjection to God. "Needless to say, the spirit of the world takes a very different view of pride and humility. The Greek philosophers who evolved lofty theories of ethics are said to have been without the concept of hu mility. It would be true to say that they understood the meaning of humanity but regarded it as a defect of character, not a virtue. It might befit the character of a slave, but of a freeman, never. "The modern world has no higher esti mation of humility than had the ancient. But by a clever euphemism it substitutes 'self-respect' for pride and finds therein the well-spring of its virtues. 'Self-respect' is the practical as well as the theo retical basis of worldly ethics. Shaftes bury said rightly that there is nothing which Is so much feared by the world as ridicule. Hence vice in the eyes of the world comes almost to be defined as con duct which does injury to our self-esteem, and virtue as conduct which makes us thoroughly satisfied with ourselves. "Thus, pride, under another name, be comes, as Newman has observed, sub servient to the social and cultured inter ests of the world. It is directed into the channel of industry, frugality, honesty and obedience; and it becomes the very staple of the religion and morality held In honor in a day like our own. It becomes a safeguard of modesty and veracity; It is the very household god of society, as at present constituted, inspiring neat ness in the servant, refined manners in the mistress and uprightness, manliness and generosity in the head of the family. 'It breathes upon the face of the com munity, and the hollow sepulchre Is forth with beautiful to look upon.' "But in spite of its beautiful exterior of culture and refinement, the society of the world remains rotten within. The Pharisee of the Gospel is the ideal gen tleman. No one could point the finger of scorn at his conduct. Pride Is the basis of such exterior virtue and the heart of the proud Is corrupt. His conscience has become mere self-respect. When he does wrong, he is angry, not humble: he feels a sense of degradation, not of contrition; he calls himself a fool, not a sinner. He Is both." President Roosevelt's Cabinet. FOTtTLAND, Aug. 12.

WILSON DISCUSSES ADVENTIST FAITH Addresses Large Audience on "Sabbath Keeping" at Grace Church. QUOTES FROM SCRIPTURES Irregularities in Translating Greek "Sabbaton" Furnish Only Ground for Keeping of Seventh Day Sacred, He Declares. Rev. Clarence True Wilson delivered he sixth of his series of lectures on "Modern Substitutes for Christ," at the Grace Methodist church last evening. The subject was "Seventh Day Adventism," and though speaking well of the Advent it church as a congregation of people. Dr. Wilson denounced their religion in no uncertain terms as the enemy of the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath. At the close of the service, quite unexpected ly Bishop Snyder, of the Adventiat faith, who was in the audience, arose and said: "I wish merely to make an announce ment. I am very much surprised at the tone of . the address tonight. I came hero expecting to hear our religion 'roasted,' and had rented a hall for the purpose of replying to the address, but I am agreeably surprised and pleased with the Impersonal manner in which the pas tor has treated the subject. As I have the hall rented I wish to announce that I will reply to the remarks made here tonight at the Auditorium, 29SH Third street, next Friday evening." Dr. Wilson assured the visitor that it was not his custom to deal In personali ties, and asked Rev. Snyder to dismiss the audience with prayer and benediction, which he graciously did. Dr. Wilson's address was .in substance as follows: "The Sabbath is the main prop to civi lization, and, while I never advocated the union of Church and State, religion is the helpmeet to civil government, and they may well help each other. Because the Sabbath Is the workingman's resting day, giving him leisure for thought and self-Improvement in the ' refinements of life, the state should protect and shield the Lord's Day from disturbance and unnecessary work, not only as furnishing a college for its working citizens, but for the sake of decent courtesy to the pre vailing religion. "A government like ours, depending for its perpetuity upon the intelligence of the average voting citizen, owes it to itself (for self-preservation Is the law for nations as well as for men) to throw around the masses the safeguards that protect from constant toil, that citizens may learn to think, may have time for leisure, for reading to inform themselves and by church privileges be reminded of the great moral ideas .for which men should live. For it Is Just as bad to have all head and no heart, so that the Intellect shines over the emotions like an electric light over a graveyard, as to have the head bald on the Inside. Give us Sunday, that the intellect may be bright ened by study and the heart warmed by worship. "Seven years of Sabbath keeping is equal to the time given in a full four years' college course. The nation, aside from the religious significance of the day, owes It to Its citizens' health and moral welfare to protect this holy day. If you obliterate the Sabbath, then the work lngman must toil on, deprived of the blessedness of two most important in stitutions the family and the . church. The decay of either means the destruc tion of the state. To cripple both is civic suicide. To train the body to the neglect of mind and heart reduces to animalism. Build intellect at the expense of body and heart and you have mental mon strosities. Cultivate the heart and forget culture and health and you have fanati cism. The Christian1 Sabbath is the time for bodily rest and recuperation, intel lectual inspiration and information, and for the building of soul-structure through worship and social life. Man is a seven day clock, needing to wind up his spirit ual nature that he may run truly and steadily through the engrossments and vicissitudes of the coming week. They are not the truest friends of their kind who would turn the dial of Christian progress backward and rob the world of its Sabbath rest. They are not patri otic friends of the nation who would blot from the institutions of our country the American Sabbath, or secularize it till it loses power. 'This Is the day the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in It." "There is no subject in Christian teaching- that has so suffered at the hands of blundering translators of our King James' version of the Bible as the -Sabbath. As our English translators took the word baptism from the Greek and Anglicised it so the Greek writers of the New Testa ment took the word Sabbath from the Hebrew and made it a Greek term for the day of rest. And every one of the nine times that the Greek word Sabbaton occurs In the New Testament it should have been translated 'Sabbath.' If this had been done we should have no con fusion on the Sabbath question and that retrogard movement back to Judaism, known as Seventh Day Adventism, would never have been thought of." DELIVERS PARTING SERMON "What Is Your Life?" the Subject Chosen by Rev. A. A. Winters. "What Is Your Life?" was the subject of Rev. A. A. Winters' sermon yesterday morning, just before his departure for the East to be absent nearly two months. His farewell words on this subject were: "This Is a personal question, and the emphasis Is rightly placed on the pos sessive pronoun 'your;' not what kind of a life Is your wife living, nor what have you to say concerning the life of your neighbor, but what Is 'your' life? On the basis of true civilization, upon what principles Is your life largely built? Are your calculations of the future false or true? James here condemns the false conception of life, and upholds the true. "We are to answer this question to Him who crowneth every man with good ness and every child with loving kind ness and tender mercy. How wide Is the field for the meditations of the thankful heart! Through all our days what an abundance of fruits and flowers of blessings. In the midst of it all, what is your life? What is your life as to existence or tendency? This question is based on re ligion. The first essential is a belief in the existence of God. which lies at the foundation of all true religion, and is the only basis of real morality. It fol lows that if there were no God there would be no religion no moral obliga tion or law, and hence no possible trans gression. But every man knows with absolute- "certainty that - ha - himself and other beings exist. There was a time, also, when all beings began to exist, or some being or thing existed from eternity. And that Being was God. Cos mos did not come from chaos, nor entity from nonentity. i "As to tendency: We have the natural and the spiritual. The natural tendency of man is to drift. - He has an inherited tendency that leads downward. Man left thus alone goes from bad to worse. One drink from the wineglass tends to take another. We have what Is termed mod erate drinkers. But moderate drinking never made a sober man. "The natural tendency Is the same in all bad habits; dishonesty, profanity, impurity of every kind, and gambling. I fear that many bright and promising careers have been wrecked by gambling. Oh. the power and fascination of this vice! It becomes an irresistible passion. Kingsley said: 'It is a habit, intrinsically unsafe and morally unchristian.' Her bert Spencer, That It tends toward the ruin of the gambler, risks the welfare of family and friends, alienates from business, and leads to bad company.' " "THE SEW AND . THE OLD." Extracts From Sermon by Dr. House at Congregational, Church. The following are extracts 'from a very interesting sermon on "The New or the Old" preached at the First Con gregational Church yesterday morning by Rev. E. L. House: "The old has no future save as it re-enters the new; the new has no past save as it was nourished in the bosom of the old. The two forces are not Independent; they are mutually depen dent and complimentary forces. Both orders are a part of ' God's plan. The moment one order is withdrawn, he has another-harnessed for the -course. The new is never given the reins until it has served a .more or less protracted apprenticeship; and the old is never cast off until its .work Is complete and the new has so thoroughly got hold of its lessons as to carry them on to the future.. i "Now much that we call new is really old. It not Infrequently happens that the so-called new Idea is an old error. Materialism, the denying of the trinity, the denial of miracles, are all old. Many of our new 'isms' today are 'moldering skeletons', dressed up in a new phraseology and complacently dis played as new. "The new is the old rediscovered. Our country is called the New World but it Is as old as any other country. It was inhabited before Columbus dis covered it. Electricity, called a new power, was used in Solomon's day, and gunpowder, supposed to be very mod ern, was used by the Chinese 3000 years ago. We think that Galileo invented the telescope, but ancient Central Americans used it long before Galll leo's time. -We are now in the era of art glass. We say It is a modern dis covery, but in the resurrection of Pompeii, workmen came upon the ruins of a glass factory, finding gems that would deceive the ordinary man. So is it In religion, "The new today is but the old redis covered. We point to our development in morals, and illustrate the same by stattng that we have our hospitals and asylums, and our Good Samaritans. But did not the early church have all things In common? "Again the new is the old enlarged. The old is the root, the new Is the blossom. Take the word 'commerce.' First, it meant trade between indivi duals. One man had something his I neighbor had not, and they agreed to exchange. Later on tne word was en larged so as to take in states, now It takes In the world. And so is it in re ligious matters. The New Testament is but tho old enlarged. And our reli gious thinking today Is the old en larged. What vast changes for the bet ter in our theology of a hundred years ago. Election, war between denomina tions, have gone. The Bible has not changed. It is our theology that has changed. Our theology Is greater and grander than it ever has been in the history of mankind. ' "Again we might say that the new is the old transformed. Our city is a good illustration of this truth. Not long ago it was a forest roamed by beasts and Indians. Now it is a city Of beauty. The new was called for. And the Bible Is like a cube. It hath several facets of light and beauty, and it has various settings for different generations. The early prophets saw the seed, the disci ples the bud. but we are seeing tho flower of truth. But the flower was In the .'seed and bud. It is only .the old transformed. "But let us notice that the subllmest truths of the world are old. The fath erhood of God, the brotherhood of man, tho redemption of man by Christ, all are old. And we love them because time has not been able to weaken them. They are the air, .the bread and the water of our spiritual Vlfe." I SERMOS BY DR. GHORSILET Church as Unique Institution Sub ject of East Side Pastor. At the Central Christian Church Dr. J. F. Ghormley spoke on "The Church as a Unique Institution." taking for a text statements found in 1 Peter, 4:9: "A Peculiar People," and 1 Tim., 3:15, "The Church of the Living God, the Pillar and Ground of the Truth." He said: "Every great Institution in the world has some specific object In view, the accomplishment of which brought it into existence. The Church of Jesus the Christ is different from every other in stitution, and has an organism peculiar to itself. It has one supreme purpose In the world the redemption of the race. It has but one way in which It pro poses to accomplish this end. and this is by holding forth the Christ to the world. It becomes, therefore, the ground and pillar of the truth. No Institution, how ever good or great, which does not sup port this specific in the divinely ap pointed, can lay claim to being the church of Christ. "Christ was unique in character and in His teachings. He had in Him all the potency of the complete church, so that we are complete In Him. The church constitutes a peculiar people these having come into fellowship with each other by passing through the atone ment and entering into its blessings, ex pressed to the world and Impressed upon themselves the very truth by which the world Is saved. Paul said to the Corin thian Church: " 'I declare upto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, by which also ye are saved. For I delivered unto you first of all, that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures.' "In turning away from sin and being burled with Him In baptism, these fun damental truths were expressed. The great Head of the Church appointed bap tism and the Lord's Supper for the pur pose of constantly holding the mind to these supreme facts. These are divinely appointed Institutions peculiar to His church. In this age when people drift into infidelity on the one hand and into fanaticism on the other, it is necessary to have the truth in monumental form. "In our context it is stated: 'Great is the mystery of Godliness; God was man ifest In the flesh." Coming into this world, taking our own nature, tempted in all points like as we are, expressing through a human form the Father's love. He was Justified in the spirit He was seen of angels. He was preached to the Gentiles. He was believed on in the world; He was received up Into glory. He left His church on the earth as His body, to go Into all the world by extend ing His redeeming love to bring them back to God." TRUTH- ABOVE ALL Essence of Religion, Says Rev. Mr. Vrooman. PREACHES TO UNITARIANS Swedenborgian Pastor Asserts That a Mind Receptive of Truth la the First Characteristic of. -a Religious Nature. "The First Essential of Religion" waa the subject of a sermon by Rev. Hiram Vrooman at the Unitarian Church yes terday morning. His text was John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Rev. vVroo man Is the pastor of ' the Portland Swedenborgian Church. He said in part: "The first essential of religion is the receptive attitude toward truth. Hu manity, is divided between those recep tive and those hot receptive to truth. The membership of all church denomina tions is likewise so divided. And so also are the followers even of the pagan re ligions and the ranks of the so-called unbelievers and agnostics. Invariably It is that he who is receptive of truth, be he churchman, pagan or agnostic, is es sentially religious .and spiritually noble; whereas he who Is not receptive of truth, whatever may be his professions. Is fundamentally irreligious and spiritually depraved. "Unitarians and Swedenborgians alike believe in a religious psychology which appertains specifically to the elevation or degredation of human character. Both realize that Intellectuality is not synony mous with character. A man may have a well-trained and cultivated Intellect and at the same time be a brute. A brutish man, whatever may be his scholarship and inherited genius, is not receptive to truth. "The chief business of every man in this world Is to build his personal char acter. Character Is the thing that en dures, and the true type of character is that which protects inviolable and inde structible, eternally, the man's mental acquirements and accomplishments. "Hence it is that the man who knows his own business, or is willing to attend to his own business. Is seeking first of all the perfecting of his personal char acter. "To allow money-getting to take the precedence over character-getting, or to allow office-getting, or honor-getting, or power-getting, or praise-getting, or gratitude-getting, or pleasure-getting to take the precedence over character-getting is equivalent to spiritual suicide. "He who regards the quality of his own character as of greater worth than all else that the world has to offer will find himself literally forced by the re quirements of his situation to acknowl edge the rights of others, to stand for justice, to war against wrong and to be an ever-growing force for righteousness In this world's social organism. "And now, right here, may it be re marked that the one particular thing of all others most powerful, even almighty, in the improvement of human character is truth. The specific function of truth is to elevate, ennoble, purify and even to create character. "Religious psychology demonstrates that the man who is receptive of truth has eyes for seeing truth. The mind has eyes as well as the body. And there Is mind within mind, as a wheel within a wheel, which may he called the interior or spirit ual mind. This interior mind ' has eyes also. s "I have faith In the man who Is re ceptive of truth and implicit confidence in the outcome of his religious beliefs." . Marshal Has Remedy for Auto Fiends George W. Metzger, Gresham Peace Officer, Use Big Platol to Make Drivers Respect Speed Ordinance. WITH a big pistol, having a muzzle like that of a small cannon, Mar shal George W. Metzger, of Gresham, has found the best means of regulating the speed of automobiles. Marshal Metzger, after his appointment, tried to persuade the drivers of the horseless carriage to moderate speed through Gresham, but they simply laughed at him. Finding that mildness would not prevail, he tried an other scheme. George saw a big white "devil machine" coming down the hill from Farmer Cotton's ranch at the rate of SO miles an hour. Planting himself in the pathway of the automobile, he point ed his cannon directly at the face of the driver. At first no attention was paid to him, but as the automobile approached the nervy Marshal the driver could look down Into the muzzle of George's can non. He brought his machine to a slow pace and limped out of town very meekly. AT THE HOTELS. The Portland Miss F. Mulkey. San Diego; J. T. Nicholson and wife. Miss Nichols. Cam bridge, Mass. ; C.

PINE, PORTLAND, OR. ft :St . proven by scientific experiments and sixty years of X practical brewing that eight days are j those necessary chemical changes by which the perfect predigested malt is produced. In many breweries the old four-day process is still used and the malt is of forced, unnatural development. It lacks in nutrition and is in all ways inferior, much 'of the vitarnutriment of the grain being lost. Beer brewed from Pabst eight-day malt retains in predigested form all of the nutritious life-giving elements of the grain. It is the exclusive Pabst method of brew ing with Pabst eight-day mlt that makes Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer superior as a nourishing tonic and a delicious beverage. I MM till Wll I Adams, McMinnvllle.
