14 TTIE MORNING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1921 PERSONAL RELIGIOUS IS Individual Aid Held Key to Church Success. STIRRING APPEAL IS MADE Dr. H. 51. Iinlten, at White Tem ple, Asserts Great Buildings Do JTot Always Accomplish Most. A stirring appeal for personal evangelism as the keynote of reli gious activity In the modern church was made to a large audience at White Temple yesterday morning: by Dr. H. H. Hulten, ex-pastor of the First Baptist church of Oklahoma City, -who will fill the pulpit of White Temple this month, with the possibil ity of becoming permanent leader of this church. "The ministry Is full of men -who believe they must have a great church building, huge crowds, and great sermons to accomplish good." said Dr. Hulten. "These factors do not always guarantee the most good In Christian work. The larger the congregation, the smaller is the chance to reach the Individual. Personal Work Advocated. "It takes far more courage, ability and Inspiration to speak the right message to a single sinner than to propound theories and theology from behind a barricaded pulpit. Christ's own creed is followed when the word of God Is brought home In lasting manner to the Individual through the evangelistic endeavor of another, individual. "Many ministers preach sermons 52 Sundays In the year, and never reach anyone. They are like some hunters, who close their eyes and blaze away with both barrels of a shotgun Into a large covey of quail with the hope that the mass of shots will bring down something. "I am not sure that I know what a so-called great sermon really Is. The value of a sermon is the effect It has on those who hear It. If the individual Is not touched. and strengthened, all the flights of ora tory and learning are of no avail. Home la Place to Start "Personal evangelism should begin in the home. If you can't evangelize your own brother, sister or thildren, you can't evangelize the brother, sis ter or children of anybody else. "Evangelism, the effort to bring others to Christ, is the keynote of present religious activity. Many a big man Is powerless to carry on the work of God because, inpite of out standing ability and talent and scholarly attainments, he is unclean. On the other hand, I have seen men who could scarcely speak six gram matical sentences in succession who were splendid evangelists because they were clean. Christiana Are Classified. "The sinner or individual outside the fold sees God through the evan gelist. I wonder what the world thinks when it sees Christ through us? "There are three classes of Chris tians In our church today. The first class Is a small, intense group of warm-hearted, fervent Christians who think the church needs an en tirely new organization. The second class is larger, and consists of those who oppose a new organization, but who believe we" should have more consistency, more prayer and more piety. The third group is indifferent, and unfortunately is the largest class in numbers. Personally, I am a mem ber of the second class and have strong Interest in the third. "We must stir this third class so profoundly that the church will be a soul-saving institution rather than an ecclesiastical clubhouse." XE1V EDIFICE DEDICATED First Church of Xazarene Holds Formal Ceremonies. The new church building of the First Church of the Nazarene, Twelfth and Main streets, was dedicated for mally at ceremonies yesterday after noon lead by Rev. G. S. Hunt, district superintendent of the church. A large congregation attended the dedication of the new edifice, which has a seat ing capacity of 550. "The world is not greatly Indebted to the man who has simply followed the beaten track," said the speaker. "We say all hall' to the man who with the sublime faith has ventured out where others have never gone forth. We do honor to Columbus, who directed his vessels out Into n un charted sea. and despite the threaten lngs of his mutinous crew, pushed on until he sighted the new con tinent. "Leaders of this church, with Rev." Alpin M. Bowes at their head, have shown the same spirit in establish ing this new home for our religion." The speaker took as the subject of his sermon "The Glory of the Latter House." He referred to the fact that the new tabernacle does not equal in architectural beauty the houses hitherto occupied by the congrega tion, yet the expectation and prayer of the church were that this new home may surpass the former In spir itual results, and displays of the di vine power. "We pray that this house, un adorned and unornamented, may be the place where the Architect of the Skies shall adorn and garland many a soul with robes of spotless white." he said. Dlt. I1EXJAM1X rOUXG SPEAKS Ex-Pastor of Old Taylor-Street Church Is Heard Again. Dr. Benjamin Young, ex-pastor of the old Taylor - street Methodist church of Portland and now pastor of the Union Methodist church of St Louis, preached at both morning and evening services yesterday at First Methodist church. Many members of his old church were in the congregation, for since hjs departure, his former coneresra Hon united with that of Grace church IS form the present First Methodist church. At the morning service Dr. Young spoke on ITotectlng ishadows, tak lng as his text the passage, "He that dwelleth In the secret pdace of the Most High -shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." "This message is from a favorite Psalm and these are wonderful words." said Dr. Young. "They ex press a truth which was known long ago and wnicn is vital today. It is based upon observation and practical experience. "The figure is Jewish. It Is sug gestive of the temple.

Mary Miles Minter is featured In the film version of the stage suc cess, "Moonlight and Huneysuckle." Miss Minter plays the role of a will ful and spoiled daughter of a million aire ranchman. The girl, tiring of ranch life, gets her father interested in politics, and he is elected to the United States senate. Then they move to Washington, leaving Tod, the ranch manager, desolate for love of Mistress Judith. In Washington the young lady en joys whirlwind popularity, and has so many suitors, she doesn't know what to do. Memories of Tod begin to fade under the glamor of the dress suit crowd of Washington. She can not decide between her suitors, so she hits upon a unique scheme of trial engagements that furnishes the plot with an abundance of comedy. The plot becomes Involved when the ranchman lover appears on the scene, armed with a six-shooter, an engage ment ring for Judith and a grim de termination. Judith triumphantly marries her father off to a convenient widow, breaks all trial engagements and accepts her wild west swain. M oonlight and Honeysuckle" served as a stage vehicle for Ruth Chatterton a few seasons ago. Under the name of "The Merry Month of May" the show played at the Heilig theater with Miss Chatterton In the role played on the screen by Miss Minter. It Is Interesting to note that James Rennie, as Tod, "stole the show" from Miss Chatterton by his fine perform ance, and later enteredJ the ' screen game. In the course of his work in holy place and the holy of holies. Into the very presence of God In that mystic chamber, with elaborate cere mony the high priest ventured every year. The whole solemn ritual meant that one could come in touch with deity, that man could know God. This Is fundamental to Judaism and important to the Christian system. "The emphasis of this truth con stitutes the genius of Methodism. It made the Oxford club and John and Charles Wesley. A man can dwell in the 'secret place of the Most High.' If a man seek God he shall find him. Intellectually if a man dwell with a great truth, if he seeks to find it, to know it through and through, he shall come into the secret place where others cannot come and there shall be In his heart a great satisfaction. "The . expression concerning the 'shadow of the Almighty' is striking. "That masterpiece of Rubens, 'The ascent from the cross' is a work In shadows. You could not paint the crucifixion in bright colors, only where the drops of crimson evidence the intensity of suffering. In nature cloud and sunshine are mixed. In lifo it is so. We are not to under stand! the 'shadow of the Almighty' as an unwholesome, dark or sinister thing. " 'If you believe In God,' wrote Robert Lonis Stevenson, 'where is there any room for terrorr The tragedy of things works Itself out blacker and blacker, but I believe in the ultimate d-ecency of things. "You can- learn the lesson in the common barnyard, 1b many a com mon place of human experience. The birds sing it; all nature is vocal with it; It stirs In the treetops and nestles In the meadow. "Just a shadow, but It Is possible to abide beneath , It the shadow of the Almighty. Hearts .get tired and souls get weary and! burdens get heavier with the years, but over all is Godi, our father, caring and lov ing for us. "The witness of history, the wit ness of many a human biography, the testimony of innumerable living men and women in all parts of the world. the great and solemn, affirmations of human life are that 'He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.' " IIOaiE IS PLACE FOR YOTTTII Love Is Above All and Comfort Is Found, Says Pastor. "A home Is far greater than the biggest house," said Rev. B. J. Hoad ley, D. D., speaking by request yes terday morning at the Lents Metho dist Episcopal church. "A home means safety, and Is bet ter than dusty streets for' boys and girls. A home is rest. Queen Vic toria went to her ' Highland home to find repose, and when there she would lay aside the trappings of royalty. At home a weary man rests in com fort from the cares of the day. "There is allowance in the home. The grandfather lingering within an earthly home looks upon the third generation with charity. Above all, there Is love In the home. Love cov ers even the hell of war, but In the true home there is no war to cover. Perfect safety Is found within the house of the Lord, also rent, allow ance and love. "The soul is the true home, and all purified hearts make up the large house of the Lord. Thus man is a home wherever he is, and at last moves his home into heaven."

City Health Officer Says Early Treatment of Disease Must Be Enforced. City Health Officer Parrlsh, who had believed the numerous cases of diphtheria recently reported were on the decrease and that recurrence of the disease In any considerable num bers was unlikely, was advised yes terday of two deaths In a single day of young children from diphtheria. One case was that of little Robert Helser, 1635 Willamette boulevard, who died shortly after medical as sistance had been summoned. Dr. F. S. S. Schultz of St. John's respond ing to the call. Earlier medical at tention would, it was said, probably have saved the lad's life. ' The other death was that of Philip B. Kaufman, aged 2Vi years, son of Mr. and Mrs.- H. R. Kaufman, 695 Patton boulevard. The child died while being taken to the hospital in an ambulance. "The wave of diphtheria cases is receding," said Dr. Parrlsh yester day, "but it is regrettable indeed that the disease has taken two more lives. All parents should be urged again to take quick action and have medical advice promptly If diph theria is suspected or any condition exists that might prove to be this disease. "Early use? of anti-toxin in these cases means recovery in almost every instance, and none should take chances by delaying this great aid to treatment. Delays are doubly dangerous in dealing with this dis ease, and they should not be tolerated In any instance.".

"I left for Minnesota on a business. trip the night of July 20. The war rant was -sworn out shortly after ward.

MUCH LIQUOR IS SEIZED TTERIYIXO BrSTXESS DONE BY FOUR POIilCBMEX. 169 Pint Bottles 'With Distributors Are Brought- to Headquar ters in One Xight. The moonshine business is picking up so far as Sergeant Oelsner's plain clothes collectors are concerned. Pa trolmen Green, Fair, Jackson and Smith did a thriving business late Saturday alight and, including two ar rests made by Patrolman Todd, a to tal of 169 pint bottles of the potent fluid was brought Into police head quarters together with four distrlbu tors. Late Saturday afternoon Patrolman Todd arrested W. Robak and Mike Look, two Russians, who carried a suspiciously-heavy suitcase past him at Davis and Park streets. The lug gage contained 25 pint bottles of dls tilled beverage.

There would seem to be no demand for, quart bottles. Most all vendors and carriers apprehended recently have possessed the smaller container, probably because it is more conven ient to carry, contains sufficient for at least one good kick, and many who cannot buy a whole quart are content with the pint. , SOCIETY TTTHILE society is enjoying the f V summer outings and week-end trips, plans are under way for the entertainment and pleasure of the summer sojourners when they flock back to Portland and begin the regu lar routine of entertaining.
