Bell Phone, Main 732 CillfflLlill DOCTOR! TODD OF SALEM DIS f COURSES OX 'LIGHT." Sunday's Address by Salem Educator !. Treats With Imporliunt Topics. ; I With his text taken from Matt 5-14, reading, "I am the light of the world" Vice President Edwin H. Todd of the University of Willamette, or "Old Willamette," as the Salem institution Is tailed, addressed a large audience at the Methodist church Sunday morning. In part Dr. Todd said: "Text: Matt.' 5-14. 'I Am the Light of the World.' This was spoken to dlBciples, and the meaning of the term muBt be understood. It is also applied to the Master himself and ap plies to His followers today. What IS' liKht? .The camera and the eye both have Impressions " made within the dark recesses of their mechanism. The object pictured Is separated by space and does not 'touch this film upon upon which Its image, is cast. That which makes possible the image as the external cause is calkd light. But these impressions are made deep er than the image on the chemically changing film of the eye, . . . ' v "The soul the ego looks upon it, fixing the impression, flies It away and may produce likeness after like ness at long or short intervals. This power of being an external cause of lasting Impression of the souls of men Is the sense In which Christians are the "light of the world." The church, the Christian, is to cause men to see ,God, His way His purposes concerning men: to cause men to un derstand the relationship which should exist between man and man and man and God. There impressions are vital to the welfare of the race. "Christianity, made up of the Chris, tlons of all ages, moving down the centuries from Calvary's top, has cre ated a civilization called Christian. It Is responsible for this creation and ibo keeping' of It. "All civilizations are the creation of religions. This Is seen by the fact that all, law givers of all the ages have appealed to the religion of their time and people for ita sanction. This is true of ail save perhaps Confucius, and he wrote codes of ethics and hior als.' . V , ' '. v. "- , "Perhaps It would be well to have an understanding as to the meaning of civilization. ; Briefly ; Btated It- is the grip which' certain codes of mor al caused religious teachings haa upon the peoples where taught whether ac cepted and practiced as a devotee or not. Root. G. Ingeraoll did not care to be credited as having any allegl ance to Christianity as such. On the con'rary he denounced , Christianity, scoffed at the Bible and ridiculed the most sacred things as held by Chris tlans. But when lecturing for'laOO.Oi) per night, portraying high and beauti ful ideals of womanhood, home and childhood he did not portray . Ideals I from heathen lands. He made gain of j the very things which he scoffed. "Laws cannot be enacted by legls j lature nqr can they be properly en ; forced without moral support. When ! moral support Is sought the church of , Jesus Christ Is looked upon as the factor most patent. The temperance i legislation of the past and present is to be largely credited to the Influence I of Christianity. ; - : ; "In causing the world to see, Chrls j tlanlty has produced the greatest con flict of the ages. Battles of great wars are Incidental. , There are the principles which stand fac to face to fight until death subdues one or I the other. The war of the rebellion was not one to simply prove Mat one section of the country was physically stronger than the other. There were principles which are fundamental In free government which had been brought to light and into service. , These had become basic .in our nation jand' were attacked. That was a war of principles. So the real battles are ;ever in progress. The pages of hls j tory, whether peoples be at peace or i at war, are but ho record of the con ,8'ant ware between civilizations. One ' civilization after another haa swept . the face of Europe, "Today the battle of the ages is on. The Christian civilization, the occi dental, has challenged the oriental civilization of Asia. The Christian church has been the aggressive factor in bringing on this conflict The church bears the command of . the Captain: "Go ye, into all the world. preaching, teaching, discipling all na-. tions, and haa been obedient. ' "The church has gone unbidden by orientals with the avowed purpose of ('estroying their customs, laws, forms of government and religions. Chris tianity defied other religions and has proclaimed from the first words of Jesus in the temple at the age of 12 that It had come to revolutionize the world.. Opposed by hoary religions, fixed customs, developed philosophies. Impregnable fortifications of prejudic es, with criticism and hindrances by commercial interests and Inertia at the home, the church threw out its picket lines in challenge for battle The war is on. It cannot be stopped. The church is responsible. , "We may cry 'yellow peril' until the world hears and takes note. But in Asia there is greater cause of alarm over the white peril. We ob ject to coolies carrying back their wages and the bones of their friends, while the masters of finance of Chris tendom exploit the natural and unde- their lands to pour streams of gold Into our coffers and fill" their land with palaces of the white races. Respoa slbllity for bringing on this conflict rests upon the church. . V "But the responsibility for all acts is not rightfully laid upon us. Whil commercial interests may criticise the church and missionary effort, com merce is Indebted to the church for lbazing the : way into the heart of Asia and the hearts of Asiatics. No other cause should receive heartier support from commercial Interests than Christian missions. "With the responsibility of creat lng a clvillza ion and developing the greatest conflict of the age, the church must furnish the leadership for the hosts. In all the advance of the Christian civilization across Eu rope the church has ultimately furn ished the master In leadership. Christ, Paul; Luther, Wesley, Moody, John R. Mots, are true names of leadership Which the world recognizes today, "The Importance of leadership can not well . be over estimated. Those leaders muBt not be unified.. The army and the commander are component parts of the fighting hosts. One can not get along' without the other.. La bor, and capital have like relationship and in the end the Church of Christ must be recognized, as furnishing the principles of agreement. "Wellington said of Napoleon : "One hundred thousand bayonets are added when Napoleon takei command." The elements of leadership are neyond our comprehension. They are as subtle as personality. However, tho primal elements manifested ?n the boy on the playgrbund, or on the athle.lc field must receive some culture; which, in others terms, is properly prepared and assimilated intellectual food. In telligence, with a fund of knowledge presided over with a wisdom which can be trusted Is demanded. "The leadership which leads is al ways trusted by the host. It is un selfish and partaken of the spirit of sacrifice given by the Master. Sys tems of culture, then, which do not make character a part of their pur pose, falls to produce commandhig leadership. """Willamette university stands fr this kind of culture. She has pro duced leadership in the northwest wiiich'has been and Is recogni-.ed a: the present. The work of Jason I.ie Is recognized In results If not by his torians and church officials of his dny. The day of opportunity Is here for her and the Methodist Episcopal church. The offers of Hon. R. A. Booth and James J. Hill mean, If con ditions are met by the people of Ore gon, that "Old Willamette" will be provided whh a halt million dollar en dowment and property worth tho same amount. This means the keeping of Willamette in her rank as heiq In years past. "Oregon may supply the markets of the world with the choicest fruits, sli may feed the thousands at home ar.d abroad from the waving fields of grain, she may fill the treasury of nations with her gold, she may rear beautiful palaces from W stately forests, bt.t It she falls to send forth men and wo men to fill to the full places of lead ership, to fill the ranks of a conquer ing civilizing force she has failed t? produce the greatest power within her posslblttiy. Oregon must bring fouh men of cultured character or be mask ed as failures," fOMBIAE BUSINESS WITH TLEASCRE Enjoy an Outing at the Seasbore.-,A Stopover at Portland. .
