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.

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.
