TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, 3IOXDAT, FEJBRUARY 18, 1907. BLOOD WILL TELL, C u Preaches First Sermons on "Struggle With Heredity" at White Temple. ... PREACHER NOT FATALIST Ioclaro That AH Transmitted Ten dencies Toward Evil May Be Overcome by Grace of God and a Strong Will. Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher preached the first of his series of sermons on "The Struggle With Heredity," at the White Temple last night. The temple choir ren dered a number of selections. The sermon waR preceded by baptism. Dr. Brougher tsaid In part: "When a man or a woman does any th'lng great or pood, or something special ly wicked, about the first question asked. In either case, is, "Whence came he or she?' There is a prevailing notion that the good that men do, as -well as the evil, is in some way connected with the past. Biographical sketches usually begin with the ancestors. It Is generally recognized that 'blood will tell.' Sometimes we are inclined to mock at the question of hered ity and to declare "our deeds are our an cestors.' Nevertheless. It is true that for most of us It would be a good thing If we knew more about our parents and grand parents, for every child, as Charles Kings, ley said, is "heir of all the ages.' Every child starts out upon the Journey of life with certain traits of disposition for which he has either to thank or curse Ills forerunners. Every one is 'closely con nected and positively influenced by those who have pone before him. In this re spect both science and the Bible agree. I shall not undertake to explain the mys tery, of this great law, but I wish Blmply to admit the fact and study it. "First, heredity gives to me good traits from my ancestors and -permits me to pass on good traits to my de scendants. I want to emphasize this feature of the law first. Most people have an idea that God simply visits the 'iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth gen eration." This is false. He bestows upon tho children of thoso who love him unto the thousandth generation the good characteristics of their par ents. The dominant "inclinations and tendencies of a man's life may not al ways be evil, but even when he has Inherited good characteristics there is still the struggle to use those char acteristics go as to make the best o them. This fact explains In part many who are born with the muse of the poet, or the genius of an artist, or the eloquence of an orator, or the Inspiration of a musician. Whatever may be the gift or the talent God has bestowed upon you through your par ents, it is yours to make the most of. Some Unworthy of. Heritage. "Many a youth thus carefully born has not proven hlmsejf, however, to be worthy of such a heritage. He has presumed upon tho good character of his ancestors and has heedlessly gone into sin. Surely when our ancestors havo belonged to the honorable of the earth something Is due their reputa tion. There is no plea to mitigate the despicable meanness of the boy who goes forth from the hearthstone, where saintly parents have prayed for him and carefully raised him to lead a life of idleness and licentiousness. Yet this has been done repeatedly, pos sibly because the young man thought, if he thought at all, that the good character of his parents would pre serve him from extremes in sin. But such is not the case. Hundreds of wayward youths could be presented to prove this fact. A notable example of this contemptible shamelessness was Aaron Burr. All of his immediate pro genitors were men and women of high character, exalted piety and stainless reputation, but Aaron Burr had none of the graces of his ancestors. He was selfish and sensual, licentious and vicious. He was at once base and contemptible. "Some have thought that the law of heredity In this Instance failed to work, but I doubt it. 1 think Aaron Burr simply trampled under his feet the good qualities bestowed upon him by his ancestors and wilfully sought the life of a degenerate. Since it Is possible for us to pass on good traits to our children, how important it is that we should seek to live for the sake of those who are to come after us, as well as for those who have gone before us. We must give our contribu tion to the generations yet unborn. Will it be for good or evil, weal or woe? We seek to lay up fortunes in land and money, stocks and bonds for those who are to come after us. These things may prove a blessing or a curse. But how many of us are seeking to confet upon 'the coming generation a sound body, a sane mind and a pure soul? Give these things unto your children and no tricky lawyer or dis satisfied relative can ever break the will. Ioes Not Argme Injustice. "Second, heredity gives to me evil traits from my ancestors ond permits me to pass on evil traits to my descend ants. This is a feature of the law that seems to many to be unhist. I shall not argue the case with them at present. I wish simply to note the facts. Every one of us has awakened to the fact, if we have been thoughtful. that there are tendencies to evil within us. We have been born In sin. Our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked. When we study the sinful nature of man we are almost inclined to accept the doc trine that men have descended body and soul from wild beasts. There. Is imbed " ded in many men, if not in all, the coarse Instincts, appetites and passions Inherited from the brute world. As a matter ot fact. It only requires superficial search ing to discover in ourselves and our fel low beings traces of the animal nature and features. I have seen people who both in disposition and facial expression reminded me of the lion, or the tiger, or tho wolf, or the fox, or the Jackal, or the Jackass, or the monkey; also the canine class, as well as eagle, owl and buzzard. "A noted writer says that some persons show by their love of moral carrion that the nature of the vulture has not passed away from the constitution. The dispo sition of others to snarl and bite, to rend and claw and fight, would seem to" Indi cate that they had Inherited these char acteristics from an ancient animal ances tor. "If you have any of these character istics you might well conclude that your ancestors were In a zoological garden in stead of the garden of Eden. Now, you know where you got, that 'sweet dispo sition of yours. "It Is an awful fact that evil seems to be much more easily transmitted than good. What ftA wfulHtbing.it. 1 Xaea AYSDR 11 for us to live so that we will bestow upon our children the heritage of our evil lives. A notable illustration of this awful law was the Juke family of New York State. The family descended from five sisters, born in 1720 to 1740, who lived lives of sin. Out of their loins came 140 criminals, 60 habitual thieves, 50 fallen women and seven murderers. Most of these died In prison. Here is an awful fact and we are compelled to face it. The great and solemn question is, 'What can we do in the face of this terrific law?' Salvation in Christianity. "Third, hereditary tendencies to evil may be overcome by the grace of God and a strong will. There is no fatalism here. God visits the iniquities of the fathers upon the children when they hate him. Do not follow your inclina tions. Flail in line with God's will; learn to love him,, for he shows mercy to thousands of generations of those who love him. Believe on the Ixrd Jesus Christ and be born again. The new birth will make you a partaker of the Divine Nature. Over against the natural sinful tendency you may put the new tendency implanted by the Spirit of God. Am I born with appetites and passions that ex haust my physical power, dethrone my mental vigor, paralyze my brain and dim my vision? I am also bom to that JHoly Spirit as a birthright which can deliver me from the domination of my sinful na ture and give me the victory in the strug gle with sinful inclinations. No difference what may have been the form of sin that hag gripped me with an Irresistible tenacity, I can conquer it in the name qf Jesus Christ. My brother, your have a two-fold inheritance. As another has well said, you have the inheritance to evil, which has mastered you hitherto and thwarted your best in tentions, but you have also the inheri tance of the power of Jesus Christ that is to come in and be the force that re leases you. There are hundreds and thou sands who have been the slaves of lust and passion, of appetite and greed; and Jesus Christ has come into their lives by the power of the Holy Spirit setting them free. In this mighty struggle with Inherited evil let Christ become your Saviour and helper and the victory is surely yours." 'MANY IN IIELIi CIIIX DEEP" ' Rev. W. II. V. Rees Hints at Hypoc risy in Ills Own Flock. "The Biggest Fool in Portland," was the subject of the sermon preached at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church last night by Rev. W. H. W. Rees. He took for his text. "The fool hath said in his heart. There is no God." He said in part: "It is only the fool who looks upon the work of that Being who 'stretcheth the north out over the empty place and hang eth the world upon nothing' and then says there is no God. It is only the fool who will say there is no heaven and there is no hell. You don't have to die to go to hell. There are many in' this city who are al ready in hell chin deep. You take into your homes the young man who ruins the girl, and says he Is a 'good catch.' while you kick the girl out into the street be cause she is as bad as the man. May God pity the girl who is compelled to be out on the streets tonight peddling her virtue. "A girl came to my study only yester day and said to me: 'Mr. Rees. I would like to get a recommendation to one of the members of your church. I want to get a position.' She said she had an swered four advertisements, and was told each time -that the advertiser had nothing for her, but would pay her 10 a week end ehe knew what that meant. The man I am working for now,' she con tinued, 'is a member of youg church, and he has nearly worried the life out of me endeavoring to persuade me to give up my virtue, but I would rather beg in the streets.' What would home be without the Bible and the family altar? "You say to me, I cannot see God.' When I converse with you. we do not see each other. All that you and I see of each other is this house of clay in which we live. We will leave it some day. Then the house will return, earth . to earth, and dust to dust. "The translators of our modern Bible didn't exactly hit the truth when they made Psalms vlli:5, speaking of the crea tion of man, read: 'Thou bast made him a little lower than the angels.' The sen tence should read: Thou hast made him for a little time to come short of God.' Evidently the translators were afraid they would place man above the angels. Wings have not yet sprouted on you or on me, and I do not think they are likely to do so. Man shall, for & little time, have do minion over the earth, and then judge an gels. "If I should show a clock to a savage he would say that someone made it. If I should show a newspaper to one who had never seen one. he would say its publica tion was only made possible by the liberal use of brains. -The very quill with which the infidel writes refutes his argument, for the quill came from the goose, and tracing the goose back to his origin we And that he came from the hand of the Supreme Being. "Some say that men came from mon keys, but I never yet saw a man whom I thought was on the way up from a mon key.EUtb.ougu I -have een many whom I thought might be on the way down to ward the ape. Darwin made the greatest mistake of the age." DENOUNCES SKATING RINKS Rev. George R. Cairns, of Seattle, Preaches on "Americanitis' In an address on "Americanitis, Its Cause and Cure." at the Y. M. C. A., yes terday afternoon, Robert Cairns, of Seat tie, classed the roller skating rink with the cheap theaters and dance halls, and denounced all these institutions as instru ments of wickedness. He said in part: - "'The parents of the city are permitting their daughters to go to the skating rinks where there is promiscuous mingling of the sexes, and it is not long until the giddy girls are found sneaking Into the back doors of saloons, where vampires, like birds of prey, await them and feed upon the vitals of those who have forgot ten themselves in the great nervous rush to destruction. Those who stand for the right must again fight the skating rink evil as they did 20 years ago. "The 10-cent theater does more harm than all the saloons in the city. By ap parently giving nothing but innocent amusement, while in reality leading down to the pit, it Induces pure young woman hood to give up her virtuous life and to follow the paths of sin. "Americanitis is best defined, perhaps. PRINCIPALS IN VANCOUVER TRAGEDY, AND THEIR FAMILY .i 14,. . - " : rtii! "tfll-irittfcflMtfll-- -it MR. ASD MR3. lOl'IS MAZORETSKY.

Speed seems to bo the one idea of the American life. It is shown in many ways, among them being our lightning express trains, our automo biles, our telephones and our wireless telegraphy. The play most in demand in these days Is the vaudeville, and why? Simply because the public demands some thing quick and snappy. We have forgot ten the old Shakespearean style of plays In our mad rush, and have descended to the low and the vile. "Our statesmanship also shows the rav ages of the disease. The statesmen of the present day are in the habit of handing out to us statistics and facts gathered without time for thought, the whole being washed down the public's throat by the aid of jokes. 'In his mad rush we find, too, the moral degradation of the home life. We have almost forgotten what home life is, and. having forgotten, the social vampires of the day are enabled to work upon the re ceptive minds of our children with delete rious effect. We should take more time for the shielding and protecting of our homes. The cure for the unhappy spirit of restlessness is to live for others. The reason that the Y. 1. C. A. is such a power for good Is that in It you will find the spirit of unselfish service for others, and that it makes for the development of the man, physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. The one life worth living is that of the life of uplift." Mr. Cairns will speak Monday, Tues day. Wednesday and Thursday at noon in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, and in the evening of these days at the Second Bap tist Church, Seventh and East Ankeny streets. CRIME FOLLOWS DIVORCE (Continued from First Page.) land. Philip and Ellis Mazoretsky are second-hand dealers, Morris is a shoe maker and Peter Is a tailor. They took the body to Portland tonight, where It will be burled. Mazoretsy lived in Portland several years before coming to Vancouver, nine years ago, and was well known among the Jews of that city. He was 46 years of age. Mrs. Mazoretsky' s maiden name was Bessie Triltack, nd her parents live in Portland, at 534 Front street. She was 35 years old. Her father Is a peddler. The four children were taken to Port land last night and are now at the home of their grandp'arents. Mazoretsky bore a good reputation. He had always met his obligations, and was never known to have defraud ed any one. The only wrongdoing he had ever been charged with was pur chasing A-my blankets and clothing from soldiers, which Is an offense against the Federal statutes. He had always provided well for his family. He was generally believed to be worth at least $20,000, and carried )3000 life Insurance in a W. O. W. Lodge in Portland. It is also reported that he had a $5000 policy in one of the old line insurance companies. Portland Man Injured by Blast. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 17. (Special.) M. Genna, a member of Frickson & Peterson's grading crew, near Point Ellice, on the extension of the I. R. & N. Company's railroad, was struck by a large rock thrown out by a blast this afternoon and his left leg was so badly crushed that it had to be ampu tated a few inches above the knee. The injured man is said to be a resi dent of Portland FOR A CLUB OF 1000 Co-operative Colony Scheme Rapidly Developing. PROSPECTUS IS SENT OUT Promoters Have Received Offers to Locate Utopian Town From Ten Different Parts of the State. Details of Organization. Rev. Hiram Vrooman, who has started the preliminary work of forming a "Co operative City Club-' in Oregon as re cently stated in The Oregonian. is now preparing for actual organization. His object is to form a club of 1000, which will represent 5000 population, as a starter. This work is being done through personal letters setting forth the plans of the Co-operative Club City." It has been found that interest in. the project has extended all over the United States, as letters received shows. Dr. Vrooman expects that J. S. Clark, who has made such a remarkable success of co-operative farming in California, will be secured to come to Oregon some time during the year and assist in starting the local organization. At present Mr. Clark Is too busy to come, but may get the time later to, spend severel weeks in Oregon. Just now location of land suitable for the proposed enterprise is being looked up in different sections of the state, but the locality is noti announced for obvi ous reasons. Dr. Vrooman sets forth the working plans In his prospectus of the club as follows: What Prospectus Says. The utmost secrecy must be maintained as to the location of the colony until after the land has been secured, otherwise the land could not be purchased on terms so advan tageous. But club members may feel sure of two things, nrst, the quality of the soil must be of the very best in Oregon, and the location must be strategically favorable to the rapid growth of the city. Club mem bers may feel secure in regard to this mat ter of a good location because the associa tion could not afford to select a poor loca tion. All realize that success is absolutely dependent upon selecting a suitable location. Offers have already been received from ten different parts of the state. Every available tract of land will be investigated before final choice is made. Soils will be tested chemically, and all advantages and disad vantages will be most carefully considered fcy experts. Persons coming to Oregon from other states w ith .the view of locating could not make such a thorough Investigation as we will make for our club members If they should spend a thousand dollars before pur chasing a home. Our chib members are saved all these preliminary expenses. And we select the location, better than the lndl viduaf could do it for himself. And besides we give him the land at a price at least ona-thlrd of what he would pay if he came to Oregon alone as most newcomers have done. But suppose the location should not suit? Or suppose unexpected circumstances should prevent one using his membership advan tages, would the $10 fee be lost? Not nec essarily, because any member has the right to sell his membership certificate to an other. And it Is not unlikely that those who are among the arst several hundred to join could sell their membership at a pre mium. The cub as a whole, however, reserves the right to reject applications for member ship. If such rejections are made any money paid toy the applicant would be refunded. Distribution of Land. The distribution of land Is not to be car ried forward hurriedly because we cannot afford to make any mistakes. The present plan is to have our experts devote the most of next Summer in investigation and in de ciding upon the location. The land then would be secured next Kail and the distribu tion made at a suitable time for the club members to begin their home building a year from this Spring. However, If by fortu nate circumstance the ideal location should be selected sooner, the distribution ot land would be made at the earliest possible date. But, In any event, club members will not b required to begin their permanent improve ments before a. year from this Spring. Furthermore, club members will have the right to employ others to make the perma nent improvements. The club Itself will se lect experienced men for this work and guarantee faithful work and the best mate rials at the lowest reasonable cost. Members have the further right to sell their land and lots and Improvements at advanced prices in the event they cannot move to the colony themselves. The fact that each club member puts on the required permanent im provements insures that either he or some one else locates there and this guarantees the population. Must Make Improvements. Those purchasing farms will be required to spend In permanent improvements during the first two years an amount equal to $'25 per acre for all the land purchased. For il lustration, a man buying a ten-acre farm would, be required to put $250 into improve ments on the land. Those buying acre tracts. however, have the right to purchase twq Xjirovementa r,-lhe. city-lots provided. tfeiijtJLNortfcwest gcenerx Iobb j; Imperial. city lots besides. They need not put im- put the $25 per acre Improvements on the land, but if they prefer to put the improve ments on the city lots instead of upon the farm they may do so. As the acreage tracts will range from 2 H to 40 acres the farmers will develop Inten sive farming for the most part. This insures a thickly-settled district and facilitates the growth of the city. Every effort possible will be made to create a demand for labor in the city, not only for the purpose af helping those from the farms who need em ployment, but for advancing the rapid growth of the city. Special attention will be given to the matter of finding the beet market lor all products of the colony. GIVES SHERIFF THE SLIP J. R. Burton. Wanted in Idaho, Es capes From Officers Here. J. R. Burton, wanted by the police in Caldwell. Idaho, for embezzlement, escaped from the Portland authorities last night and is now at large. No blame can be attached to the members of the Portland police department for his escape, as he was in charge of Sheriff Thorpe at the time. Last Monday night Detective Hellyer arrested Burton on instructions from the Idaho authorities. Notice of his apprehension was then wired the Sheriff, but no answer could be had. As the local police had no further instruc- Hons, they were obliged to release the prisoner. This morning Sheriff Thorpe arrived. and Hellyer set out to find Burton, who was living with his wife and three small children at the corner of East Sixth and Hawthorne avenue. Sheriff Thorpe with the requisition papers went to the house in company with Hellyer and the two placed Burton under arrest. Burton was eating his supper and requested the officers to let him finish the meal. They consented and Hellyer who lives a short distance from the Burton home said that he too would go eat. After Burton had finished supper he began talking to the Sheriff. A small dog which was in the house jumped up on a bed and Burton arose ostensibly to put the dog out. Before the officer could Intercept him. Burton sprang through the door, and ran down the street. He could not be found last night, but all patrol men were instructed to keep a sharp lookout for him. Sheriff Thorpe had been warned that Burton would attempt to escape, but the engaging manners of the fellow complete ly blinded the officer. PERS0NALMEIITI0N.

PROPRIETOR BUFFALO LlTHIA SPRINGS, VA SUNXYSIDE X. C. T. XT. OBSERVES FOUNDER'S ANNIVERSARY. Papers Pealing JVith Temperance Apostle's Iiife-Work Read by Mem bers ot White Ribbon Society. In common with other cities of the country, honor to the memory or Frances E. Willard, the apostle of temperance, was paid fn Portland yes terday by the Sunnyslde Women's Christian Temperance Union, In the Sunnyslde Methodist Church. Mrs. S. 1. Roes presided and paid a high trlh- ute to the work of Miss w, lllard. Mrs. Mildred Morse read a paper on "Miss Willard's School Days and Forest Home," netting forth her qualities as girl at her home. 'Her Student Life" was the topic by Mrs. Daisy Bertroche. The story of "Miss Wil lard As a Student" was told by Mrs. Mary Benedict, who showed that Miss Willard early 'displayed those qualities that made her famous. Mrs. Bernard quoted the sayings of Miss Willard. .. Mrs. Alice Hanson gave a compre hensive review of the lifework of Miss Willard. Among other things she said: "Need we hesitate in calling her the greatest woman philanthropist of her time? True, time alone can prove the worth of any work, and only down the perspective of years are we able to gauge the comparative Importance of the human lives that have made his tory, but I am persuaded that when the annals of the 19th century are written, when the record of the mod ern movement that has metamorphosed the position of women, comes to be told, Frances Willard's name will stand pre-eminent as the one who saw with a keen, prophetic eye. ahead of her time, who realized the danger and who furnished the women, not .only of a great continent, but the world over, with a Just realization of their right ful position, and with that safeguard ing gospel, 'womanliness first; after wards, what you will.' "The temperance cause was the open door through which she entered her service for the world. The defense of woman, her uplifting, her education for the widened way. was the task she set herself to accomplish. But to no spe cial cause djd she belong; her life was the property of humanity. She was a subtle, thoughtful, thrillfng talker, and there was always, when she talked to women and to men, such a sublime confidence in their latent nobility, and their ultimate righteousness, that for a time at least they became in their own eyes the beings that she pictured them." Passing on, the speaker declared: "Herself a woman ef the largest, no blest and most gracious type. Miss Wil lard spoke for and represented, not the women of any one state or nation, but the womanhood of the world. She per ceived that the ideal home, which was denied to her personally, must be held up before her sisters and brothers as the real goal of human effort. This involved, however, the lifting of wom an to the plane of political equality with men. It also involved the lifting of the masculine standard of morality to that agreed upon for all true wom en. Her mind was too broad and too deep, and her conception of woman's place In society too exalted for her to grasp the temperance or economic 'problem in a one-sided fashion. She was Indeed a preacher of temperance and of a new commonwealth; but she was also the soul of chastity, heralding a nobler womanhood, a nobler man hood, a nobler society and a nobler humanity than the world nad dreamed of hitherto. "It was a crucial moment in Miss Willard's life when she deliberately re linquished the brilliant posttion of dean of the first woman's college connected with a university In this country; it was a crucial moment when she relin quished that which women hold dear est, the sacred sheltered life of homo; ail to go out penniless, alone, to be friend the friendless and help the needy. "If ever a woman was crowned in the hearts of the people, that woman was Francos K. WillarcJ, and let us not forget that a crown woven of love and set with tetis of gratitude will retain Its brilliancy when the tiaras of earth ly powers have been dimmed by the dust of ages." Dr. Hanson closed the addresses with a high tribute to the work of the- W. C. T. U. and that of Miss Willard. At the platform was a large picture of Mls Willard. Interspersed through the programme were music and recita tions. Frances Willard Memorial. The St. Johns W. C. T. U. will give an entertainment tonight in memory of Francis Willard.

Burford. a telephone official, had been intimate with "Maymo Castle." a box rustler in a beer hall in Billings. Mont., was intro duced yesterday in the Burford divorce case, which Is the most sensational tried In this city for many years. Judge Bean ha,s the case under advisement. Burford has only been in Pendloton little more than a year, but during that time he has cut quite a dash in society here, keeping the fact of his former mar riage as quiet as possible. Last April he illed suit for divorce, and managed to keep all mention of the fact out of the papers. In his complaint he alleged as grounds for divorce "cruel and inhuman treatment and personal Indigni ties." . Mrs. Burford. who resides In Bloomington. Ind., and who arrived in Pendleton a few days ago to fight tho case, filed a cross-hill through her attor ney. Judge S. A. Lowell, in whi.-h sho makes exactly the same charges aaalnst him that he did against her. and. in addi tion, asks for the payment of W as a balance due on a contract which he signed when they parted, in November, 1901, and $.10 monthly alimony, or, as its equiva lent, $2000 in cash. Burford does not deny that he visited the house of ill repute in which "Mayme Castle" performed, but declared he only went there to make collections or to so licit business.
