Sermons appropriate to the approach ing Thanksgiving day were preached in many of the pulpits of Portland yes terday, and special musical features suitable to Thanksgiving were offered. At the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church the Rev. L. K. Richardson held a special historical Thanksgiving serv ice in which he preached a sermon on "The History of the Kenilworth Church." Next Sunday night the an nual thank offering will be taken. Among the other churches in which advance Thanksgiving services were held were the First Congregational. L. R. Dyott. pastor; Central Methodist. C. C. Rarlck, pastor; Centenary, D. H. Trimble, pastor; Clinton Kelly Metho dist, John Parsons, pastor, and Calvary Presbyterian, D. L. Kiehle, pastor. In his Thanksgiving sermon the Rev. Delmer H. Trimble preached from the text, "Ye seek me not because ye saw miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled." "The multitude of old looked no fur ther than the miraculous multiplica tion of the loaves," he said. "They were seeking bread rather than blessing. "The greatest thing that Christ could do was to satisfy their hunger. And when poverty had been banished, his mission would be at an end. He merely was. In their estimate, a dispenser of bread. But this is a mistake that runs through the generations. "I barely have learned in this 20th century even that God means aught else but bread. Multitudes of men will believe in God only when their bank account is large and their health is sound. "We can understand why a dishonest merchant should fail, why disease and death should come to libertines and drunkards, but we cannot understand why the best of .men should become bankrupt; why disease should claim in their prime a Henry Drummond or a Frederick W. Robertson. "There are finer gifts than bread and bank stock, and because God would give the finer he sometimes withholds the coarser; We must stop estimating the pleasure of God in us by the loaves that he sends. "The same Christ who multiplied the loaves one day, refused to do it the next. He evidently had more import ant work to do than feeding the stomach. All his miracles simply were Intimations of the greater things that he would give the purer heart, the personal power, the royal courage, the inspiration divine. "At this - Thanksgiving season we rightly thank God for material bless ings, prosperous homes and abundant largess. If, however, we are richer only in bread and butter, money and material, health and wealth, we are poor. Indeed." "Write a letter to your mother in time that it may reach her on Thanks giving day, bringing her another bless ing for which to be thankful," said the Rev. Benjamin Young, in his sermon last night at the First Methodist Church when speaking of Thanksgiving day. A special sacred concert appropriate to the occasion was given by the choir, under the direction of Miss Edith R. Collais. Solos by Mies Collais. W. A. Montgomery, a duet by Mrs. Elizabeth Stowers and Harold Hurlburt. and four selections by the chorus, were the fea tures of the programme, which was . opened with a short organ recital by William L. Patton. The First Methodist Church will unite with the. First Baptist, First Congre gational. First Christian. St. James Lu theran and others in a service at the First Christian Church Thanksgiving morning. The Rev. Luther R. Dyott. of the First Congregational Church, will preach the sermon. Rev. John Parsons, pastor of the Clin ton Kelly Methodist Church, preached on me imngs tnat we ought to be . thankful for. He drew a parallel from the miracle of Christ feeding the mul titude with five loaves and two m.n fishes. He said the principal thing to be thankful for was God. and that Ood made man for himself, and that liis hope was his immortal soul. He lauowea wun a discussion of the dig- iiiiy 01 man anu me spirit of our civili nation. SALEM CHILDREN GATHER Sunday School Work Discussed Great Mass Meeting. at SAiai, or., Nov. 23.

MORE HELP IS NEEDED GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL HEAD MAKES ANOTHER. APPEAL. Needy and III Children Depend on Gen. eronlty of Public for Joyful ThankHKli'lns; Day. Three days from Thanksgiving Miss Emily Loveridge, superintendent of Good Samaritan Hospital, still is hoping for. a more generous reply to the hospital's annual appeal for help for the care of those who are 'suffering and needy. , . "The good we are allowed to do is limited by you and the rest of our HOW I EARNED MONEY DURING MY VACATION BY KENNETH HASTINGS. (Winner third prize for boys of Jefferson High School.) AFTER school closed I looked three weeks for work without finding it. Finally my brother secured me work as water boy at the new gas works at Gasco, Or. My brother worked there as the storekeeper for the construction men. I went to work on July 19 for my first time. I caught the United Rail way at Twelfth and Glisan streets at. 6:20 A. M. When I arrived at Gasco my brother took me to the office, had me "signed up," and got my number for me. The working hours were from 7 A. M. until 5 at night, making nine hours a day. I was paid 20 cents an hour. The place where I was sent for water was at the Portland subjall, about one-half mile. Payday came on the third and eighteenth of the month. Being the first time that I ever worked for a large firm at such a good wage, I looked forward to the large check that was coming to me. This was the first and largest check I ever drew.. After I had been working two weeks my work was' much lessened by being allowed to carry the water from the Government moorings, which was near the work. Soon the superintendent saw that the plant had to be finished as quickly as possible, so he extended the working day to ten hours. There were three places from which water could be obtained. I chose the Go-ernment moorings as the place from which I would get the water. Soon after the men complained about the water, became sick, and some had typhoid fever. There were about 14 cases of such fever. On Monday, August 4, I started to work ten hours, meaning that my sal ary would be 2 a day. About 9:30 the foreman of the works came and asked if I wanted to earn some "side money' by carrying water to a contract com pany, which I willingly did. This com pany paid me 25 cents a day, making my wage 2.2o a day, the largest sum I earned last Summer. For four weeks I worked for $2.25 a S3 DECORATIONS ARK OF ELABORATE friends," says Miss Loveridge in ' her appeal. "Our physicians and surgeons do their part in giving absolutely free service to all needy patients. It rests with you to say how much good they, as well as the hospital, are enabled to do." Especially does the hospital need money for the care of sick children, most of whom are charity patients and come from all parts of the country. Many of them have diseases of the bones and joints, l.any are ill through lack of proper food and remain in the hospital for months. Toys, fruit and flowers bring a look of joy to the faces of these little sufferers, but after all these are the luxuries of life and' what the poor children really need are the necessities money for food, bedding, care and such gifts as mean to them health and often even life. Among some of the small things that the superintendent says are needed by the indigent patients are wheel chairs, bedside tables and other such appli ances that add to their comfort and hasten their recovery. CHARITY HUNT SUCCESS COMMITTEE RECEIVES REPORTS AND GAME EXPECTED TODAY. Basement of Yeon Buildlns la Ready to . Take Care of Contributions Sent In for Institutions. The committee of the charity hunt ers which made the arrangements for the collection of game which was shot today for the charitable institutions up to a late hour last night had received none of the game, but did get further assurances that the day was a success. The slaughter of ducks down the riv er was reported to have been heavy. and today the hunters will probably send in their birds.- The basement of the Teon building will' be ready to take care of the con tributions of both game and other pro visions. Nothing was heard from the party near Arlington further than that pas sengers coming in from that direction reported heavy flocks of geese flying practically the entire morning. A party, of Multnomah Club men. headed by Captain Walter Keck, of the football team, went out after rabbits, but had not reported' last night. FUGITIVE REPORTED NEAR Mike Donnelly Escaped Convict, Be lieved Near Troutdale. Mike Donnelly, the escaped life- termer from Walla Walla, who escaped from special agents of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and compelled a section foreman, to file off the handcuffs which the railroad detectives had placed on his wrists, was reported to have been seen yesterday near Troutdale. Earlier in the day It was said that he was seen near Carson, Wash. He is supposed to have been working toward Portland to catch a train south to Call fornia. Special Agent Joe Keller, of the North Bank, investigated the re port, but gained no trace of Donnelly, "sp 5 74 v 5 -or If v ig Kenneth Hastings. day, working Sundays and all except Labor day. That month I earned G8.25, being quite good for me. In four weeks from the time mentioned i the above paragraph, the contract com pany finished their work, and then only made 2 a day. . Many little instances happened dur ing those four weeks. The last two weeks which I worked many of the men were sorry that school was 8 near, because I had kept them watered so well during the previous warm days. I quit at noon on September 13, two days before school commenced. All i all I earned approximately $110 in 5 days. KENNETH HASTINGS. Age 15, Jefferson High School. 1 i : DESIGN'. "JOBS" ARE SUBJECT Unrest of Young Men Dis cussed at Y. M. C. A. Meet. MUCH INTEREST MANIFEST 'Sourdough Sky Pilot" Speaks to Young Men and Tells Them About His Experiences in Wilds of Alaska. Wanderlust", or restlessness, which leads men to Jump from one Job to an other without taking time to acquire kill which will make one able to be Interested in his work beyond the mere fact that it brings him a wage. was one of the principal reasons for discontent among young men, ad vanced in the discussion at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday on "Why are so many young men dissatisfied with their Jobs?" . 'The Job which gives the highest financial returns at the start promises east lor the future and the jobs that have the most promise for the future give the lowest returns 'at the start," was the assertion of Secretary Stone. A -mans content in his work depends chiefly on whether he is . more inter ested in the work he is doing or in the wage he is to receive for It. In the general assembly . before the discussion meeting, Albert Bean, th 'Sourdough Sky Pilot," addressed the young men on "Life, Death and Judg ment" He referred to many of his ex perlences in the ministry in Alaska. In the discussion meeting next week the question of whether young men are more satisfied with their work in the country or in the city will be- dis cussed. This question was suggested by the discussion held yesterday. CAR MEN ATTEND "PARTY" Five Hundred Employes, Sweethearts and Wives .Make Money.

TWO ARE BARELY RESCUED Lads' Appeals to Couple Who Do Not Understand Words Inspire Them' to Dig With Hands in Sand and Reach Victims. Roy Magrew, 12 years old. diad under tons of sand, and two other boys were rescued yesterday morn ing only by the work of a .man and a woman who, though they did not understand the frantic appeals of another boy, dug with bare hands in the sand of a cut of the O.-W. K. & N. Company at the foot of Reno street, St. Johns. The tragedy was due to the caving in of the roof of a "robbers'" den four boys had dug in tne sana. . The accldeht takes away the last of feeble hope of the Magrew boy's parents, who live at 955 North KelloKft street, for a happy Thanksgiving. They have been kept recently by charity of tne county and it is probable that the body of the boy will be buried in pot ters' field on Thanksgiving day. ine Magrew boy, Olin Hayr.es. 13 years Old, son of O. S. Haynes, of 833 North Leonard street: Olin's little brother, Albert, and Clarence Ford, the 5-year-old son of B. W. Ford.- of 837 North Leonard street, dug the cave. They intended to play "rubber" and incidentally to shelter therrreelves from a misty rain which was falling. Youngest One Is Outside. Albert Haynes. the youngest of tho four, was outside when he heard the sand cave in. He turned about to find his playmates burled. For five min utes he tried with his hands to dig them out. Then he ran to the top of the hill and called Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert Postowskl, who live at 1022 North Edison street. : The Postowskis did not understand his words, .but ran with him to the cavein. .There the boy made them un derstand, and they started to dig with their hands. The first boy uncovered was Clarence Ford, whose face waa black and who almost had ceased breathing. With the little Haynes boy crying at his shoulder that the lad found was not his brother and that his brother was still in the drift, the Postowskis worked over the Ford boy until he revived. In the meantime the little Haynes boy had uncovered a part of his brother's clothing and all three dug him out. He was: severely bruised about the back and was unable to stand. Body Is Found. He was taken home, and the Pos towskis hurried to the top 'of the hill and got O. Larson, of 1019 North Edl son street, to bring two shovels to the scene. With these they searched for Roy Magrew. and finally urecov ered his body. Twenty minutes had passed before it was found. The boy evidently had died a few seconds after he was burled, for his mouth was open and filled with sand. The Postowskis and others who had gathered tried in. vain to restore res piration. . . The body was taken to the home of John Messner, a farmer, near by, and later was taken to the undertaking establishment of Dunning & McEntee. 528 FILE FOR IB CLAIMS DEPOSITS TO GUARANTEE WATER AT GRAND VIEW 4a,(MK).
