LUMBER IS STILL AHEAD.
Great as the advance In fire-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so de
pendent on wood today that they are
compelled to admit that the forests of
the country are likely to be the chief
source of building material for many
years to come.
"The use of cement, terra cotta,
brick and stone, with a framework of
steel, will make it possible soon to do
away with wood entirely
mark often heard, and, indeed, when
one stands on lower Broadway and
looks up at the towerinp skyscrapers,
the statement seems to contain much
truth. As a mi ter of fact, however,
the j.opular idea that fire-proof ma
terials will do away with the need of
using lumber In a comparatively few
last year, approximately 61 per cent
were conslrutced of wood, and the
remaining 39 per cent, of fire resist
ing material, acording to a report is
sued by the Geological Survey on op
erations in forty-nine leading cities of
the country. These figures are the
more significant when it is realized
that they only represent the building
activities in the largest cities; they
do not take into account the construc
tion of dwellings, stores and other
buildings in the thousands of small
cities and towns scattered over and
not included in the forty-nine cities
on which the reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominating Building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures for
all places of whatever size, the per
centage of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig
ures, as a rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and the suburbs of these
cities have each very large amounts
to be added. The cost, also, is rela
tively higher in these cities than in
towns nearer the base of the supply.
THE COMFORT OF FAITH.
After a series of meetings lasting
is a re- about six weeks, during which crowds
of people packed the Baptist church
to listen to the evangelist Dan Shau

to the religious value of the great
effort made during the past weeks.
Many who attended the meetings were
attracted only by Shannon's Jokes and

smart sayings; they wanted to see
what was coming next, and while
some were shocked by his Irreverence,
amounting In their opinion to blas
phemy, and some were disgusted with
his vulgarity, others thought him an
earnest man who tried to do good,
and did it.
To many people ills great offense
lay in his unwarranted and unchari
table attacks on other religious bod
ies. To take advantage of the sa
crednesa that Is supposed to surround
the pulpit for the purpose of holding
up other Christians and their religious
customs to ridicule, seems to them an
evidence not of large-hearted manli
ness, but of Intolerance and cowardice.
We are supposed to have left thut
kind of thing behind.
The gospel of Dan Shannon and
his method of presenting it does not
commend itself to the favor of the
more Intelligent. They have little
faith In a religion that has to be bol
stered up by so much vulgarity. Ir
reverence, and sensationalism, or In
an advocate whose delight seems to
be In cursing rather than in blessing
and who consign men and women to
all the pains and horrors of perdition
with such evident satisfaction. If
that is religion, a great many people
are going to run the risk of getting
along without It.
Four hundred persons are reported
to have been converted. If this is so
Oregon City ought to be the better
for It. The life of a Christian is one
of honesty, uprightness, purity and
Godliness. If these conversions are
genuine, these four hundred have
committed themselves to this kind of
life. They will be better husbands
and wives, better sons and daughters,
better neighbors and citizens. There
is great danger, however, that after
the abnormal feeling generated during
the revival has subsided and the con
verts are no longer under the spell
of the revivalist, many will suffer a
relapse. It Is a notorious fact that
such wholesale conversions are fol
lowed by large defections. An east
ern paper recently printed an offer of
fifty dollars for proof that one of the
converts at a series of meetings held
in a certain town a few years ago had
remained faithful. The meetings were
conducted by "Billy" Sunday, and the
correspondent who offered to put up
the money and Is a resident of the
town claims that none of the con
verts can be found In any of the
churches there.
And here lies a great danger, for
these lapsed converts are ever after
the hardest kind of people to reach.
They believe they have tried religion
and that it did not work In their case.
They do not care for any more ex
periments and are apt to Join the
ranks of the Irreligious. As a matter
of fact they have not experimented
with religion so much as with a mod
ern brand of It.
We are not qualified to pass Judg
ment on Mr. Shannon or bis work.
But we are sure his usefulness could
be Increased by cultivating gentler
and more charitable methods.
