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,"
