THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 19, 1914. 10 MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE UNDERTAKES DIFFICULT PROBLEMS Eighty-One Pastors of Eight Denominations Spend Week at State University at Session Considered Almost Impossible. OF GREAT interest and impor tance last week was the inter denominational ministerial meet ing held at Eugene. Eighty-one ministers of eight de nominations, representing all parts of Oregon, spent a week at the University of Oregon tn what at the beginning many of them skeptically regarded aa all but impossible; an inter-denomina-tlonal conference with the emphasis on the inter, and a treatment of the most ticklish of church problems in a spirit as broad as religion Itself. "If we once face these fears with courage, we have seen how they van ish." declared President Campbell be fore the conference, in discussing the ancient theory that politics and reli gion are two subjects that must be eschewed in mixed gatherings, and that they are inappropriate for the serious study of a state institution of learning. "These are the things that are worth while," he added, "and these go deep into the very problems a state university can best employ Itself to Investigate. "Bring out these questions Into the light. Put them to the test of truth Tirt tret, consideration. The funda mental intuitions of religion stand un shaken; it is only the obstacles that divide men that fall away." Ending Duplication Urged. A theme that recurred again and gain throughout the week was the necessity of putting an end to duplica tion of effort In the country districts. J. K. Hargreaves, of Hood River, showed how the very spirit of the most altruistic of pastors was changed to bitterness when he was put to it to compete with other ministers of reli gion for the opportunity to work, in stead of being allowed to direct his efforts against the natural shortcom ings of human nature and the remedi able deficiencies in the environment. Ralph A. Felton. of the church and country life department of the Pres byterian board of home missions, was present with a whole library of books on the economics and social conditions of the American rural community. "Oregon In many of Its small com munities is one of the most over churched states in the Union." declared Dr. John H. Boyd, of Portland, who acted aa chairman of the conference. "Conditions have been shown to be in the Northwest than in any other part of the country. I know of at least one community in this state where in a population of 1200 people there are 11 denominations represent ed by churches. Conditions In these little, weak, dying churches are miser able. That is not the way to further the cause of religion. Religion must be 'made to mean the brotherhood of man In a much more real sense than would be suggested by the present church conditions." (mall Caorra Doomed. Tt Is a proved scientific fact." stated Ur. Felton to the ministers, "that young people will not join the small church. Tou can't make them. The -small church Is doomed and It is best. Indeed, that it should be replaced by an organization with a closer approach to modern conditions of efficiency. Statistics run true to type, and they have been taken on an elaborate scale In many parts of the country. The very small church is dying, the church with about 100 members is struggling, the large church Is growing. "The best thing that can be done in a, state situated as Oregon Is Is to do everything possible to encourage church co-operation and federation and the elimination of rivalry. Move ments toward the further Introduction of new denominations into communi ties already well supplied should be frowned upon." Rev. Moses Breeze, who spoke sev eral times during the conference, also took up the question under the heading Efficient Church Organization." Mr. Breeze possessed, the power of giving tie minister a good laugh or an emo tional thrill whenever he desired. His description of his Journey as an immi grant boy from Europe across the At lantic was replete with both. He -finally slipped through Ellis Island through the grace of a high official In the immigration service, whom he represented as one of the great men of the earth. His purpose in coming to America was to enter the University of Wisconsin to study for the minis try, and this was a story too improb able for the ordinary Ellis Island in spector, the University of Wisconsin being both untheological and very far away. W. F. Woodward Speaks. "W. F. Woodward, of Portland, was one of the speakers at the evening session, taking up the question of the rehabilitation of the home as an edu cational factor. His topic was "The Truth I Would Most Emphasize, if I Were a Minister." Among the leading speakers in the course of the week were Dr. A. A. Berle. Congregationalism of Cambridge. "Mass., and Dr. John H. Boyd. Presby terian, of Portland. Dr. Berle was called upon again and again, and his unfailing supply of experiences of a busy life passed among leaders of the Intellectual capital of New England, was freely shared and given In a man ner that went far to explain his power. Professors H. D. Sheldon and George Rebec, of the University of Oregon, lectured on various phases of educa tion. Dr. C. F. Hodge, professor of social biology, gave the latest results of the nation-wide study of the effects of alcohol on animal organism by the committee cf 50, of which he Is a mem ber and in whose experiments he has taken a leading part. His experiments on dogs are interpreted by naturalists as proving that the deleterious effect of alcohol reaches the germ plasm. This has been a disputed point. Dr. W. P. Boynton, of the depart ment of physics of the University, spoke on how faith appears to a scien tist, and W. M. Ladd. of Portland, struck the dominant note of the whole conference with his title, "How De nominational Rivalry Looks to a Lay man." Upon his address followed the organization of a 'committee to study the Oregon situation and report to the next conference. The result of the conference is a determination to plan for a much more extensive conference next year. In the expectation that the attendance of clergymen will swell to several hun dred. Rev. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was at Eu gene last week attending the Inter 7enominatlonal Conference of Minis ters. Dr. Boyd returned to Portland Friday and will occupy his pulpit both morning and evening today. Hla topic for the evening sermon is "The Curse f Pain," and he will follow this next Sunday evening with a sermon on "The Guarded Gate: or Man's Return to Paradise." Beginning August 1 Dr. Boyd will be away on his vacation, which he expects to pass on his ranch near Mount Hood. An excellent pro gramme of sermons by well-known preachers Is being arranged for the Sundays on which Dr. Boyd will be absent. The First Presbyterian Church has been keeping open house this week. The many visitors who have spent a abort season of rest and quiet within Its doors have more than Justified the action of the session and board of trustees in throwing the beautiful church open for the benefit of strang ers and those who are tired or troubled and seek a place of rest and quiet se clusion. A great many out-of-town visitors have expressed their appre ciation at finding an open church so close to the down-town district, ex tending a welcome to the stranger in a strange city. A few. who are almost strangers to the church, have wan dered in and experienced an hour of memory and perhaps of resolutions. The FirBt Church will continue its policy of open doors as long as the need is felt and the privilege Is ap preciated. e Br. Kenneth Latourette, a medical missionary from China, will speak this morning at 11 o'clock in the pulpit of Atkinson Memorial Church, East Twenty-ninth and East Everett streets. Sunday school will be held as usual at 9:45 A. M. Sunday School Attendance Good, Despite Heat. Excellent Interest Shown In Series of Missionary Stndlea Vnder Dis cussion at First Presbyterian Church. PHE Sunday School of the First A Presbyterian Church is keeping up a remarkable attendance through the Summer. With fully 50 per cent of the enrollment away from the city, the average attendance still runs more than 400 and excellent interest is shown in the series of missionary studies which are under discussion. Today pictures will be shown of scenes In the Philippine Islands and the work and progress of the Chris tian workers among the natives there. J. F. Ewing. superintendent of the Sunday School, will explain the pic tures and make a talk on "Mission Work in the Philippines."

Evangelical Association Spoils Plan of Rev. C. C. Pollnt. for Three Creed Merger at Philomath. REV. C. C. POLING, pastor of the First United Evangelical Church, of Portland, has been the leading spirit for union of the colleges of the United Evangelical and United Brethren churches located at Philomath. It was expected to Include the Evangelical Association in the united college pro gramme, but that conference withdrew from the plan. Rev. Mr. Poling has been active also in the movement for the organic union of the Evangelical Association and the United Brethren Association. The union of Dallas and Philomath Colleges probably will be decided at the special meeting of the Oregon conference of the United Evangelical Church, which has been called for August 8 at Quinaby Park. Rev. Mr. Poling was president of Dallas College before It was moved from Lafayette to Dallas, and his son. Dan Poling, was one of the first students gradu ated from that institution. He was president of the collegt for 11 years, serving as disrlct superintendent and performing the duties of pastor at the same time. He. then was elected pres ident of the Western University, of La Mars, Iowa, but resigned because of falling health. After two years as president he resigned and returned to Oregon. Three years ago, with the support of Bishop W. M. Bell, of the United Brethren Church, Mr. Poling started the movement for a united college, his plan being to raise an tndowment of $200,000 from the three denominations. The question to be decided at the special session of the conference, August 8, Is whether Dallas College, with its assets, will be united with Philomath College, or a bible school be established. The Dallas College property is worth about $25,000 and there is an endowment of $25,000. If these and the good will and support of the United Evengellcal Association can be swung to Philomath College it ill be a big help to that institu tion. Rev. Mr. Poling is a commissioner from the general conference of the United Evangelical Church. Conces sions have been made on both sides, and only one great question remains to be settled. The Evangelical Associ ation desires to continue the law that the general conference shall be the supreme power of the united churches and supreme power over the annual conferences. The United Evangelical Rev. C. C. Poling, Pastor of First United Evangelical Chnrch. commissioners are holding out for re serve power in the hands ot the state conference. Mr. Poling says that when this point has been settled there will be nothing in the way of the or ganic union of the two branches of the Evangelical denomination which split 25 years ago. At the First Norwegian-Danish Meth odist Church. Eighteenth and Hoyt streets, services will be held today at 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. Stories and songs and hymns will be given at the vesper service of the Young Women's Christian Association this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. All who attend are invited to contribute to the programme. Oirls who are strangers in the city will find a cordial welcome awaiting them. A social hour will fol low the meeting. Miss Helen Stafford, the religious secretary, will preside. Dr. A. L. Hutchison, pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, will go to Puget Sound next week for a vc ation, which he will pass with his family at the Summer home there. As a pre-va-cation message he will speak today at 10:30 on "The Ministry of Solitude" and for tonight his message will be "Life's Stadium." On July 26 Dr. William Par sons, a former pastor of the Third Church, will be the speaker. : New Local Pastor Has Had Varied Career. Rev. Lovfvk Low, of Union Methodist Chnrch. Sooth, Once Was Cowboy, Marshal and K van Relist. R EV. LOVICK PIERCE LOW, new pastor of the Union-Avenue Meth odist Church, South, has extensive plans for his church which are to be fully developed after the meeting of the annual conference, September 17, at Seattle, Wash. He will be returned to the Portland charge, according to pres ent plans. Rev. Mr. Low has a variety of experiences. He is a preacher evangelist, a writer of songs, musical composer and director. In the early years he was a cowboy in the Indian territory, where, with his brothers, he took care of his uncle's cattle. At first he decided to study law, but changed his plans and studied theology instead. He spent 14 years in the Indian Terri tory, served as United States Marshal and did his part in quelling the turbu lent element. He entered the Moody Bible School, of Chicago, later going Into active evangelistic work, visiting and holding special services In different cities of the United States. Rev. Mr. Low came to Portland from Siloam Springs, Ark., cancelling sev eral engagements for a year ahead to take the Portland charge. One date remains, August 14, at Washington. D. C, which could not be Broken, and he wiil spend three weeks at the capital at that time. Mrs. Low is an accomplished musi cian, a dramatic singer and was his soloist while in the evangelistic work. She will assist In his Portland work. "Our plans for Portland," said Rev. Mr. Low, "have not been developed fully, and will not be until after the annual conference. This is one of the great churches of Portland. It is my hope and desire to make it an aggres sive andactive church. I want to see the auditorium filled, and Tbelleve that It will be. There will be something do ing all the time. "I am planning to hold a reunion and convention shortly after the annual conference. All former students of the Moody Bible School will be asked to attend. These graduates are scattered all along the Pacific Coast, and several are In Oregon. They will be asked to attend this convention. This convention is one of the things we have in view, and there will be others. We expect to take part In all civic matters and af fairs that pertain to the growth of Portland. This Is the most beautiful city I ever have been In, and I and my wife are already in love with It." The Union-Avenue Methodist Episco pal Church South was erected at a cost of $75,000. It has an auditorium that will seat 1500 to 1600 persons. Rev. Mr. Low Is & fluent speaker, and Is heard easily all over the auditorium. During the services he leads the choir, as he has been accustomed to do as an evangelist. see Today tn the White Temple the pas tor. Dr. Hinson. will preach on the "Sec ond Coming of Christ."
