CHURCHES ALIVE WITH
SPIRIT OF HOLIDAYS
15,
Preparations for Christmas, Annual Meetings and Clristianship Congress
Interest Pastors and Laymen.
PREPARATION would seem to be the
order of the day in the church world.
First of all preparations for Christ
mas services, banquets and entertain
ments for the poor and the young. Sec
ondly. 'preparation for the new year in
the shape of election of officer! and of
dates for the opening annual meetings
at which reports are read. Lastly,
preparation for the great conference to
be held here next year, at which it Is
expected, with every degree of confi
dence, that 30,000 people will assemble.
Referring to the last-named event
Pittsburg- was the scene last week of
what might be called a preparatory
convention for this great second
World's Christianship Congress to be
held here next June and July. Thous
ands of people filled the Exposition hall
and listened with rapt attention to the
speeches of two men, who were recently
in Portland In connection with the pre
liminary arrangements. They were Rev.
1. S. McGaw and Rev. Clement H.
Congdon.
Dr. McOaw's speech, which was en
titled "God's Optimist." and contained
an appeal for funds to help on the
great work, was so inspiring as to re
sult in a collection of over $1000.
"The Breath of the West" might al
most be a suitable title to Mr. Cong
don's words, for in his stay among the
men and women of Oregon he seems to
have been Imbued with the spirit that
the Elks at their recent convention
claimed as being a special privilege of
Portland and of Oregon. What is mora
his address was redolent of truth, and
of the beauties of nature:
"I bid you welcome to Oregon the
wonderful." said Mr. Congdon, "and to
you I open every door in Portland the
beautiful. 1 have my authority from
the smiling lips of the people of Ore
gon, all Oregon; from the warm hearts
of the whole population of Portland,
from Jew and Gentile, from Protestant
and Catholic and from those who know
God not at all. They all cry. as if with
one- voice: 'Come! Come! Be with us
and of us!'
'This wholesome welcome Is all real.
Back of It is 12:0.000 of money raised by
the great Commercial Club of Portland
out of the best citizenship In all the
Northwest section of our country. The
Governor of the State, a splendid type
of American manhood; the Mayor of
Portland, second to none In well doing
and right thinking, and the 1600 mem
bers of the Commercial Club, join In
the shout of welcome and even the pro
fessional greeters In the hotels of Ore
gon have caught the spirit of true
hosts and they insure you decent rates,
honest service and really friendly
treatment. In their magnificent hotels
you will be as guests in their homes
and under their personal protection.
"Among you are many who have seen
all the world except the great North
west. Tou have marveled at the moun
tains of Switzerland, but you have yet
to see the Rockies. You have visited
the tiny parks of Germany, but never
have you set foot in the greatest park
in all the world: you have loitered on
the banks of the Seine, but the Co
lumbia River knows you not. Shasta
Is a. sermon. Mount Rainier a benedic
tion. Those of you who love nature
In all her wlldness need but walk a
mile outside the confines of Portland
and there the might of God marks every
foot of scenic splendor.
, "Would you have the beauty of the
garden, look out from the windows of
your, hotel and drink In the fragrance
of a billion roses, the like of which no
city in all the world can gro..i. The
kins -of the World can lay no-, such
flowers at the feet of -their consorts
as the; schoolboys of Portland toss .to
their sweethearts. Portland glories in
having abolished poverty. The city
has no poor. Ho pictures of misery
will confront you there. Joy. good
uheer. fellowship and civic friendship
await all who will come to Portland
and learn of the world through the In
tellectual and the spiritual leaders of
mankind and to study Its problems
with those ordained of God to. solve
them.. The second World's Christian
Citizenship Conference at Portland. Or.,
June 29-July , 1S13, will advance civil
ization by a year and the cause of
Christ by many a mile."
Later In the day, after Judge Charles
X. Goodnow, of Chicago, had been heard
on "The Foes of the Home," it was an
nounced that 241 delegates had been
appointed to attend the Portland con
ference. Four officers were elected last Thurs
day at the regular business meeting of
the First Congregational Church So
ciety, the Incorporated body of the
church. John A. Bell was chosen presi
dent, with H. G. Colton as secretary,
and Thomas Roberts as treasurer. Each
of these men will serve for one year,
while Frank M. Warren, who was ap
pointed a trustee, will act In that ca
pacity for four years.
Mr. Roberts gave a verbal report on
the finances of the society, showing
them to be In excellent condition. Prac
tically all blllltohaveebeen paid and at
the year-end there will be a balance on
the right side. Actual reports will
not be read until January 16, the date
set tor the annual church meeting and
dinner.
Members of the Bible school met last
Friday night also for their election of
officers.
The congregation of the First Church
and the many friends of Rev. Dr. D. B.
Gray will be glad to learn that there
is every hope now of his speedy recov
ery from the illness which has been
causing considerable anxiety. Dr.Gray
has been over 40 years In the state
and has long been the superintendent
of the Congregational churches In the
district. -
Dr. John H. Boyd, Dr. Benjamin
Ynnnir rr T H. Walker. Dr. W. F.
Reagor and Dr. Luther R. Dyott. met
yesterday at the Y. W. C. A. nuiiaing
to confer and arrange a schedule for
the union services, which begin the
first week in the new year. This union
meeting is being held partly as the re
sult of a request to that end made at
the recent fusion of the churches on
Thanksgiving day. Had it not been for
the fact that other arrangements have
been made already. Dr. W. B. Hlnson
would have conferred with these pas-s
tors on behalf of the congregation of
the White Temple.
m
As It Is, the First Baptist Church had
arranged some time back for a series of
revival meetings beginning January 3,
to be conducted by the former pastor of
the church. Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, who
will come with his corps of workers,
among thenv Professor Butts, who con
ducts the singing. These services will
last three, weeks. Ever since his resig
nation. Dr. Henry has devoted all his
time to evangelistic work, and has
traveled all over the country.
Great pressure was brought to bear
on Dr. Dyott 'last week to join the
party that went to Salem in the at
tempt to secure commutation of sen
tence for the men condemned to hang.
That he did not make one of the party
was not due to any change in his op
position to capital punishment, but
rather because he is a strong believer
in enforcement-of -the law. .
. "As lone as there is a law in Oregon
whicb condemns murderers to .be
'hanged. I shall believe - in seeing tne
law carried out. though I shall never
cease in my efforts to bring about some
other method of punishment."
. i
"A Fighter Wlie Couldn't Come Back"
will be the unusual topic taken by Dr.
W. B. Hlnson. of the First Baptist
Church, in his address to the members
of the Alert Bible class next Sunday.
This class, which is composed of. young
men, will hold its annual banquet on
December 27.
Sunday before Christmas is consid
ered "Giving Christmas" at the White
Temple, for on that day each class
brings some articles, generally of food
or toys; to be presented on Christmas
day to the poor of the parish and their
children. Last year there was an un
usual amount of food provided.
Novel, sensible and In the true Chris
tian spirit is the idea that has evolved
from the fertile 'brain of Dr. John H.
Boyd, of the First Presbyterian Church.
Believing that the season of Christmas
would be brighter and happier for many
In the city if spent in the fellowship of
others, who are remote from old places
and loved relations. Dr. Boyd is arrang
ing a co-operative Christmas to be
held in the banquet-rooms - of the
churchhouse. Speaking of this the pas
tor said yesterday:
"To this cheery Christmas party we
invite any and all who feel the desire
to make one of our number. It doesn't
matter if you are connected with our
congregation or not. If you are a
stranger or lonely: if you want to join
a company which is going to be happy
on Christmas Day in spite ot every
thing; if you are willing to. contribute
your joy "to the joy of others; if you
are hungry and want a good dinner,
man or woman, old or young, single,
couples or families, you are invited.
"The dinner will be served at 5
o'clock, and will consist of soup, celery,
turkey and cranberry sauce, rice, sweet
potatoes, salad, mince pie, ice cream,
coffee, tea, fruits, nuts, aqua pura, and
It will cost $1. There will also be a
Christmas tree, and Santa Claus will
bring a souvenir to everyone present.
"Anyone desiring to give a present
may have it placed on the tree, while
gifts for friends who are in attendance
may be brought, and Santa Claus will
see that such gifts are distributed.
There will also be a programme of
merry music, readings, recitations and
toasts.
"Those who have homes and friends,
or who have made other plans for the
day. can help either by coming to help
serve at the dinner and acting on the
reception committee, or by furnishing
a gramophone, gifts of money, fruits or
decorations for the banquet room or
Christmas tree." ,
Within the next few days there Is to
be published in Kansas City a book en
titled "The Truth About the Bible." of
which Rev. W. A. Bowren. D. D., speak
ing of the author, has said: "His Ideas
on the immaculate conception are new
thoughts for this world, and answer
for all time the agnostic world as to
the divinity of Christ."
Sidney H. Tapp. Ph. B., an attorney
of note In Kansas, and the writer of
the book, is a. sick man, who has al
ready undergone five operations, and
who, on account of his Illness, cannot
practice his profession except at very
rare intervals. A committee ot five
influential men. including a doctor, a
minister and a brother attorney, formed
themselves into a laymen's committee
to aid the publication of the book In
fact to put it on the market Mr. Tapp.
has written many other works, includ
ing a thesis on the Anglo-Saxon Insti
tutions. .. . '
' Special -preparations are under-" way
to Insure the success of the musical
programme at the Christmas services
at the First Methodist Episcopal
Church. The double quartet of the
church for this occasion will be rein
forced by a violin and cello obligato.
while In the evening the cantata. "Star
ot Bethlehem" will be presented.
The trustees of the First Methodist
Church will meet during the week tor
a thorough discussion of the plans for
the new building, in the absence or
A. M. Smith, president of the, board,
who is in Southern California. Philip
Beuhler. the vice-president, will be in
charge. At the conclusion of this meet
ing it will be possiDie to state witn
considerable degree of certainty the
exact nature of the new church.
Bishop Scaddlng will give his famous
lecture on "Oregon, the Land of En
chantment."- under the auspices of the
Men's League of the Sunnyside Congre
gational Church, in the auditorium of
the church, tomorrow evening at 8
o'clock. The lecture will be Illustrated
with 150 beautifully colored stereopti-
con slides.

Every ChUd Should "
Be Given This Tonic
When children have no appeUter
when they are continually peevish and.
irritable; when they are restless In their.
Sleep, It Is almost a certain Indication
that their digestive organs are troubled
with worms or other parasites. This Is
a very common ailment and easily rem--,
edied. Physicians will tell you that
nearly every child is so troubled at
some tlm and. in fact, many adults
suffer m the same way. Among adults
this trouble Is Invariably referred to as
Indigestion, when tn reality It is due to
a small parasite wbicn Infests the in
testinal tract. .
For children. Jayne-'s Tonlo Vermi
fuge is unsurpassed, as it is not only
destructive to these parasites, but com
pletely removes the nests in which their,
young are deposited. Seldom does It
purgev and the Improvement In the
health of the child will be the first and
best Indication of the beneficial result
of the medicine. Not only will the VerT
mifuge destroy all the parasites, but it
wonderful tonic effects will restore the
digestion which has been Impaired.
For children, the addition of a little'
sugar will make it so palatable that
they will take if readily. Millions ot
parents have praised It for more than
eighty years. Insist on Jayne's; accept
no other. Sold by druggists everywhere.'
