HEARD FROM THE PULPITS
CHAPIiAJJi GILBERT PREACHES OS
THE TEST OP TIME.
Rev. Mr. Havrley at Trinity 3Iethodlat
Cnurcu Rev. W. T. Wardle
at Mizpah.
Rev. "W. S. Gilbert, pastor of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, preached yesterday
morning from the text Hebrews xii:27:
"That those things which cannot be
shaken may remain." He eaid in part:
"Whatever enters the world must strug
gle for an existence. Under the great
law of the survival of the Attest, every
thing undergoes a testing. The things
that are weakest go down, the thing that
can be shaken Is shaken, and the things
that cannot be shaken remain. After a
bridge Is built. It is tested; when a ship
is constructed, it is given a trial trip
and is subjected to every possible test be
fore it is commissioned to service. When
anything is established, an Institution,
a theory, a form of government, a house,
a religion, a character, it must meet the
struggle of the years, the test of time.
After it has met the tests if It remains
It is Indeed valuable for service and may
be defended upon.
"So we may look into the great future
of the world with a confident assurance.
It Is written In all the laws of God that
a stable good Is coming out of all vicissi
tudes. Whatever is built wrong will not
stand the tests; whatever Is wrong will be
shaken. Dross shall be consumed from
character, from society, from the city,
from the church, and the great refiner of
silver shall bring out the pure, the good,
the true. Good and evil are not to be
forever mingled. Truth and error shall
not forever be confused. The Lord will
shape heaven and earth until that only
which cannot be shaken will remain.
I'hpn TcfU Ifr Kn GBAti TirHrt arA TxrViof nrjiA
upon the rock and who and what unon
the sand. The Lord shall bring every
work Into, judgment with every secret
thing, whether It be good or whether
It be evil. Time will tell what is go.d.
silver and precious stones and what is
wood, has' and stubble.
"Wo are now in the midst of a splendid
jeriod of the world's history. Men are
wonderfully alive. Every part of the
rworld's lifo is stirred by the univerral
awakening. The zeal of enterprise Is un
paralleled; the spirit of Investigation is
universal. It is a time of persistent shap
ing of things. Nothing escapes the analyt
ical testing. Tyranny totters woefully
and superstition is shaken Into ruins.
Even long-cherished fancies are stormed
at and are tested by wind and wave.
It Is a splendid omen. Let the world's
thought be awakened and, after matu-e
deliberation, the consensus of the world's
thought will not be far amiss. In such
times many are apt to go to extremes. In
order to appear intellectually brave, they
will in fact be foolhardy and will stand
on street corners and proclaim all the
world except themselves to be creed
hound, medieval, fossil. Others, in order
to be shaping things, will declare them
selves to be against all existing things and
become anarchists and destructiontets.
thinking: that in order to make the world
better, we must smash everything, civil
or religious.
"The world Is eager for new things. It
makes but little difference what a thing
is. If it is plainly new. It will obtain a
wide hearing. To many, whatever Is new
seems advanced and progressive, merely
because it Is new. It takes time to shape
things and find out what will remain.
Fashions pass away; truth abides. One
sad result of every shaking process is
that there are always some who can't
bide the time, but at the first disturb
ance their minds are filled with chaos;
who can't hold to a course till the storm
is over; who sink the ship to escape
the tempest.
"The -world has made progress. Gcd's
laws have kept us from stagnat'ng.
After even' shaking, the tried and tested
things have been more precious to us.
Things that can be shaken ought to be
shaken, and the quicker the better. Er
ror, wherever found, ought to fall, that
the things that are to be depended upon
may remain and that the things that re
main may be depended upon.
"After the centuries of terrific shaking
through which we have come, we have n
few things that defy the tests, for to
this day they remain. Science, magnifi
cent In its achievements, even science
has hammered away, till it has settled
pretty conclusively a few tUn's very few,
however, when they are summed up. In
National affairs, we have finally estab
lished some things that shall remain
forever. And In religious truth, there
are some few things which th centuries
have about settled. They remain, and
have been so thoroughly tested that we
may safely build our destiny upon them.
"We have all been Interested in the re
ligious census of Philadelphia, recently
taken In one dav by the Sunday schools
of that city. The results have as'on
lhed the world. Rerords of 2S3.V? familtei

denominational preference of the fam'ly"

portion, and. to the surprise of everybody,
only 22 atheist or agnostic The wor'd
has about settled forever the fact that
God exists, and that he Is not a b'ind
force, a neuter intelligence, an abs'rr
t'on, but Is the father of us all. Invisi
ble, yet everywhere; manifest, fu'l of
love for all mankind, even the sinful nd
lost, not being willing that any should
perish. God remains, and all the word
Is fast coming to him.
"Consciousness, will, conscience, the
moral sense, the power of growth, the
longings of our being, all tell us that
we are more than the delicate work'ng
of the brain and the splendid mechanism
of the body. Men no longer say there Is
nothing but matter: and some are going
so far to the other extreme as to adopt
the old Greek fancy that there is no mat
ter, but all Is soul. The verdict of the
candid world is that matter and soul
both are true. The higher men ascend in
their conceptions of God, In their esti
mate of the nature and powe-s of the
human soul and in their undcstardlng
of the divine purpose which is guiding
our life on earth, the more are they c:r
taln of the Immortality of man.
"Given God and the soul, then, duty
remains. Duty Is one of the gigantic
truths that cannot be shaken, and re
mains to this day. Men may not care,
men may not be aware, men may Ignore!
but duty remains as perhaps the very
greatest matter of our concern. Go where
we may. duty Is there, and no true man
will hush her voice.
"As never before, the world" Is think
ing of the Bible, and so much ado has
been made about it that some have con
cluded that there Is something dreadful
tho matter whh it, and have perhaps
consigned it to the things that have been
shaken and do not remain. This theory
of Inspiration or that may be shaken, as
theories, man-made, have before been
shaken, and this Interpretation or that
of Genesis or of Isaiah or of Jonah, and
this exposition of any part or that may
be shaken, but the centuries" declare that
the real word of God shall stand forever.
The Biblo has stood the storm of time.
Monasteries could not imprison it, the fires
of the Inquisition could not destroy It,
and today it Is cherished and revered as
tho lamp to our feet and the guide to our
path.
"Another of the eternal verities that en
dure is that Jesus is the saviour of men.
He saves from selfishness, from worldll
ness, from sin. Jesus was full of grace
and truth, and so perfectly does he pre
sent God's attributes in human life that
we seo in him God manifest. Surely 4Gcd
was in Christ, reconciling the world to
himself.
"The North star still glitters in the
heavens, a safe guide for every mariner.
So, too, in God's firmament are these
fire-tried star that glitter brightly, so that
every earnest man may find his way.
Godv soul, duty, Bible, Christ! They
have guided others In all these years;
they will guide to the haven all who follow."
CHRISTIANITY AXD CIVILIZATIOX.
Sermon 1j Rev, A. Ii. Harrier, at the
Trinity Methodist Church.
Rev. A. L. Hawley, pastor of the Trinity
Methodist Church, East Side, yesterday
morning preached on "Christianity and
Civilization," the sermon being an ap
peal in behalf of missions. He spoke from
the text, "Other men labored, and ye
are entered into their labors." In the
course of his sermon, he said:
"We scarce realize to what an extent
we are indebted to the labors of others
for the things and privileges we possess.
The political liberties and rights we boast
aro the fruitage of the labors of men
since tribal union began. Those great
hearts that strove with sword and pen
even though they failed of their present
purpose sowed the seed of Magna Charto
and 19th century civilization. These are
but the opening buds, not the ripening
fruits of their labors.
"Our homes, our schools and our learn
ing are not our creations we are entered
into other men's labors. Issus, Thermop
ylae and Lcuctra; Vienna and Tours; JTun
nymede and Naseby; Yorktqwn and Ap
pomattox were fought for us. Men of
other centuries and climes have bled and
died for us, and so long as there are op
pressed peoples and strong tyrannies we
have the same grand privilege of being
useful to the world that our forbear
had. The only question Is, 'Will we rise
to the splendor of our opportunities?' The
foundations have been laid on the solid
rocks of truth and Justice, yet tho mighty
problems of balance, adjustment and sym
metry still remain to be solved.
"In farm and field. In home and shop the
conveniences that are now necessities ara
our heritage from the ages gone. What,
Indeed. WOUld be our hnastrvl rlvllly.nJInn
without the fruits of the labors of Watts,
Stevenson. Howe, Mozart, Gutenberg.
Caxton, Raphael, the Arabs, Chaldeans,
Jews, Greeks and Romans? Our know
ledge, arts and sciences have nearly all
been handed down to us. We of today
have improved on their form and added
the result of our labors, bnt how little
have we originated. We have been the
recipients of grander things than the.a
from men long 6lnce dead the knowledge
of truth and life, as it is n Chr'st Jesus.
This is the power that has unlocked the
darkened recesses of man's mind and
made our rapid advance and present day
civilization possible.
"Along the northern coasts of what is
now France and Germany and In the
British Isles dwelt degraded tribes of
savages our ancestors. Those who had
received the command 'Go. preach the
rospel to every creature,' took their lives
In their hands, and taught these tribes
of him who came that all men might
have life. They found them in barbaric
degradation; but 'the entrance of thv
word giveth light, and soon these very
barbarians became the leaders of the
world in knowledge, virtue and right. Yet
all this they owe to others, who readily
gave their gold. thMr lives and their
talents to the Master's service. If the
early Christians had not believed In for
eign missions: had withheld their money
and refused their service to a degraded
and ignorant people, apparently sat'sfled
with their barbaric lot. where todav
would be the boasted Ang'o-Saxon race?
Let China. India and the South Sea Is
lands say. We ourselves are the grandest
fruits- of Christian foreign missions, for
only when Christ was preached among
our ancestors did they begin that won
derful advance that has made them the
world's vanguard. Shame upon the Anglo.
Saxon, who will not do good to others
'when he has been well done by!
"Let us not fret or grow discouraged
because the hundreds or millions of Asia
do not acknowledge tho sway of the Car
penter of Nazareth. Over 1700 years have
elapsed since steady nnri Tnrictn t
.-.lonarr work was begun among our a.n-
wraiors. ana yet less than one-third of
the Anglo-Saxons call him their King.
"Our progress was slow so will theirs
be; but already the light of civilization
Is breaking over the far-away East fie
harbinger of better things to come. Chris
tianity and civilization mothsr and daugh
terever hand In hand, are moving to the
conquest. Let us do our part and help
send the light that others brought to us."
"ANTAGONISM, LAW OF KINGDOM
Plnce Filled 1- Lavr In March of
ProjjreKH.
Rev. W. T. Wardle preached last night
In Mlzpah Presbyterian Church, East
Side, on "Antagonism, the Law of the
Kingdom." The -text was, "For I am come
to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her
mother." The sermon in part was as fol
lows: "In the march of the centuries, war
fills a large place. In Its path has fallen
the weak and the strong. From its battle
fields have sprung -the tlowers of a better
day. The vantage ground of the present
Is ours by reason of the struggles of the
past. In the conflicts which have passed
Christianity has played Its part, and in
ceaseless struggle men aro learning tho
lav. of the kingdom. Intolerant. Wf.rtt-
selfisnness, directly antagonized Christ's'
expucit teacmngs. He aimed his shafts,
not In the air, but at root evils; expulsion
Is seen to be possible by Implanting new
principles.
"Tho text Ls startling. How unnatural
it sounds! Surc.lv for children In ho it
variance with parents is to have 'an house
aiviaea against ltseir.' But it ls natural.
Wrong and right, darkness and light must
antagonize each other. For right and
wrong to harmnlzc this would be unna
tural. But Jesus was the 'Prince of Peace.'
Surely his mission of peace Is discordant
with this antagonism. Peace ls the final
end, but that peace comes how? By neg
lect of pardon, nurture of sin, by saying.
'Peace'? No, no. Christ Is first King of
Righteousness, then Prince of Peace. Here
Is the heart of Christ shown. He comes,
not as a destructive reformer, save as he
came to remove evil. His chlefest demand
ls for faith dependence, not on self, but
God. Hence In the presence of sin an
tagonism must arise or evil Is not sur
rendered. "See this law In operation: Christ de
mands for hlmself our supreme affection.
We cannot love parents too much; we do
not love them enough, but for himself h:
asks more. He demands decision, a choice
between the vll lesser good and highest
good. He deserves that which he de
mands. He Tvill not force love; he does
seek to win it by what he has done to re
deem us.
"And this claim which he makes Is abso
lute. He will take no less than your best
love. If he were but man, such claim
would be supreme folly and egotism; but
when made by Son of God It evidences
wondrous condescension. Not as of old,
In martyr struggles, ls this antagonism
met, but 'tis here and now, just as real
and intense, within our own hearts. The
law operates within us, victory ls possible
not "by our power; it comes only In the
help which he gives to his trusting child."
Retirement of Jnlin Arthur.

actress, tonight announced her retirement
from the stage fcr the season, and per
haps permanently. All dates have been
canceled and the company disbanded.
Mr. Cheney says: "If In the future Mrs.

OF EAST SIDE AFFAIRS
NEW ROAD TO BE OPENED NEAR
WOODSTOCK.
Various Improvements Going- For
ward That Will Benefit the Com
munityThe Political Feld.
There are good prospects that the road
from the Evangelical Church, at Wood
stock, will be opened and finally improved
through to the Section Line road. It is
now practically open for tho entire dis
tance, except about 300 feet. The road Is
open and dedicated through the Judy
Tract, and the deed has been recorded for
the road, but there ls a space of about 200
feet at the north side of the tract that
is still closed. Also at the south side of
the tract there is a strip that Is closed,
the last being a portion of Richard Will
lams' tract, which extends across the
Powell Valley road. Mr. Williams says
he is ready to dedicate the road through
his strip when the right-of-way has been
secured through the other strip. As the
owners of the latter live in California, it
has taken some time to get word to
them, but the dedication ls expected soon,
when the road through the two strips will
be opened. That will give an open road
through from Woodstock and the sur
roundings to the Section Line road, which
will prove a great advantage to the en
tire section In the southeast. The Wood
stock Improvement Association has the
matter In hand, and will try to get this
road improved.
Belmont and East "Water Street.
East Morrison street has been open the
present week, after having been closed
for a year, and the amount of travel over
it has been very large. Indeed. Tho re
opening of the street is a great relief at
this time, as the Morrison-street bridge
carries, besides its own, the main por
tion of the travel that uses tho Madison
street bridge. A good many people on
the East Side are wondering what will
be done with Belmont and East Water
street roadways, especially the latter, as
their condition warrants the apprehension
that they must soon be repaired, or closed
up. There ls much discussion of the ad
visability of changing the charter so that
roadways and bridges, when once Improved
by property-owners, may be kept up by
general or special tax The owners of
property along these streets declare that
they will permit the streets to be closed
before they will pay for their repairs, and
they succeeded In getting the last pro
ceedings for their repairs stopped, after
the contract had been let. From all in
dications, it will be almost impossible to
get any of these roadways repaired In
tho usual way of assessing the property,
and there arc many who believe that East
Morrison roadway ls the last that will be
repaired under the present proceedings.
It is the opinion of the City Engineer that
a change in the procedure is bound to
come.
Political Notes.
The Sellwood Republican Club will come
together in Firemen's Hall, next Wednes
day night for the purpose of adopting a
constitution and by-laws.
Roosevelt Republican Club, of the Eighth
Ward, will have a registration meeting
one week from next Thursday nicht.
The president has made arrangements
with County Clerk Holmes for keeping
the registration office open that night
It ls desired that all In the Eighth Ward
who havo not registered will make it an
object to go with the crowd to the Court
house and get the matter off their hands.
Thcro are many workmen at the Wolff &
Zwlcker Iron Works, Inman, Poulsen &
Co.'s mill, and the Southern Pacific shops
who have not yet registered, and all these
are specially urged to take advantage of
this opportunity. The time ls Thursday
evening, Maroh 29. It will be called the
Eighth Ward registration evening. All
the clubs in that ward are Invited to par
ticipate at that time.
The Alblna Republican Club of th
Tenth Ward, is now reorganized, with a
now set or omcers. The club has leased
Gomez Hall, on Russell street, midway
between Upper and Lower Alblna, where
It will have quarters through to the end
of the campaign. More benches have been
placed in the ample hall, and It can easily
accommodate 700 people. Meetings will
be held every Wednesday evening.
WoodHtoclc Improvement Association
The Woodstock Improvement Associa
tion, which has several Improvements and
road matters under consideration, post
poned its last meeting, which was to have
taken place March 10, to some future
time. It was regarded as unwise at that
time for any public gathering to be held.
In view ot the smallpox scare In that
neighborhood, but now that all danger has
subsided, a meeting will be held soon. The
association will push improvements In all
directions in the southeast in the matter
of roads, and Improved car service and
cycle paths. There is encouragement from
the outlook that much may be accom
plished along these lines.

PLANNING THEIR VACATIONS
Local Ministers Arrange for Snmmer
Outinfrs.
Although Summer ls a long way off. the
balmy Spring weather of the last week
has brought the consideration of the
Summer's vacation to the attention of
many people. Among the hardest-worked
of mental laborers aro the ministers ot
the gospel, and how to put their brief
period of rest to the best advantage is a
serious problem to them at the present
time.
Dr. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, on Twelfth and Al
der streets, has a pretty little cottage
overlooking the Columbia River, near
Fisher's Landing, where he will stay for
two months. Although the Doctor In
tends to enjoy all the pleasures of a
rustic life, he has also apportioned con
siderable time for studies on new lines.
Rev, William S. Gilbert, of the Calvary
Presbyterian, who served with the Sec
ond Oregon Volunteers as Chaplain, will
enjoy the extreme heat of Southwestern
Ohio. The Chaplain's people, whom he
has not seen- for eight years, live in
Dayton, and he will accordingly make an
extended stay there ot about six week3.
A trip. East is also Intended by Rev.
John E. Simpson. Tector of St. Mark's
Episcopal Church. To what specific lo
cality Mr. Simpson has not yet decided,
but it will probably be a sight-seeing
tour and -will take in as much as can be
visited in a month.
Rev. H. W. Kellogg. D. D., is now
recuperating at Shasta Springs. Cal. Dr.
Kellogg's work this Winter has been very
wearing, so he decided on this trip, which
will occupy eight or 10 days. He and Mrs.
Kellogg intend to take a Summer vaca
tion of a month or so, but Just where
has not been decided.
Dr. T. L. Eliot of the Unitarian Church,
is awaiting advices from the East, which
he "must receive before he arranges his
Summer's plans.
Dr. Jacob Bloch, rabbi of the Temple
Beth Israel, will vacate his position on
September 1. His future work has not
been decided upon. Archbishop Christ'e
and the other Catholic clergy In the city
are exceedingly bus-, and expect to have
no time for a vacation, though thoUme is
too far off to decide definitely.

IT DOES GREAT WORK
XEW GOLD DREDGE SUCCESSFUL IX
SOUTIIERX OREGON.
It OpcratcH Where Wnter Cannot Be
Had With Sufficient Force for
Hydraulic 3Ilnina-.
A new method of working certain placer
claims that Is being introduced Into Ore
gon, seems very promising. This is the
Australian or New Zealand dredge sys
tem. It has long been In use In those
progressive gold districts, and at tho pres
ent time It Is said that 200 dredges are
being worked on one New Zealand, creek.
Since November last, the dredse has been
trial in Southern Oregon, and ls reported
a positive success. "W. J. Harris, of Spo
kane, is the proprietor of the dredge, and
the claims where it ls being worked.
George M. Williams, now at the Imperial,
has been operating the big piece of ma
chinery, and is In the city making addi
tions of a more substantial character than
certain parts first used.
What the dredge promises for the gold
output of Oregon la best calculated when
It is known that it Is Intended for use
where hydraulic power cannot bo had.
Every miner knows there are innumer
able fine placer claims that cannot be
worked for lack of water, or even on
the shore of rivers, where there Is no fall
to give power. Often claims have been
worked in the bed of a gulch or ravine
until below where water could ba used,
and there abandoned, even when dirt
showed fine color, because it was not
rich enough to Justify hoisting to the sur
face and there washing it. The old Sailor
diggings of the Waldo mining district,
where Mr. Williams Is operating tho
dredge, illustrates this splendidly.
These were among the very first. If not
the first, placer discoveries In Oregon,
dating back In the early ECs. On both
sides of the main gulch tne ravines were
rifled of their gold, for the hills were
steep and hydraulic pressure was good.
Gold was discovered In the bottom of the
big gulch, or valley, and was successfully
mined for a few feet in, depth. What 's
known as the Chinese Derrick Claim, at
the foot of Sailor Gulch, was a verltabJb
pocket of gold. The Chinese kept going
down until they could not use water, then
constructed a derrick for lifting dirt to
the surface and worked this until down
about FO feet, when It became too expen
sive. Mr. Harris acquired the property,
sunk a shaft In the bottom of a 50-foot
pit. and, at an additional depth of SO
feet did not find bedrock, but the eamo
character of soil through which the Chi
nese had passed. Now he ls using the
dredge with marked succcks, and will
work the entire space of several hundred
feet, all over, and go at least 50 feet be
low where tho Chinese penetrated.
The dredge being used Is approximately
100 feet long. Is a boat. In fact, and has
to work In water. A pit is sunk, filled
with water, and then the dredge com
mences eating away tbt side or pulveriz
ing and bringing up the bottom. It does
not require a constant stream of water.
After the pit -is filled, that ls sufficient,
as Its own pumps give It tho desired
current, and the same water may be used
over and over. Gravel and sand Is dumped
nt a convenient distance by means of pipes.
The dredge will operate 27 feet below
water and remove a bank 50 fet above.
Mr. Williams has been handling 1500 cubic
yards of earth daily, working 24 hours,
but in ground easily handled can lncrea
the amount to 2000 cubic yards. In the
most favorable ground, the Australia
dredges handle with profit dirt paying 2
cents a cubic yard, and when It Is re
membered that In the claim now being
worked at Sailor Gulch there are strata
ranging from 20 cents to $16 03 a cubic
yards, the vast possibilities of the dredge
may be seen. The earth of this claim has
mainly been far more difficult than can
be worked by hydraulic power, some ot
It being pure clay, some cement gravel
and boulders with much cement. Th's
ls another of the moBt important features
of the dredge. With Its powerful pulver
iser, it can force Its way through clay
that will effectually resist water and the
most difficult of all combinations for hy
draulics, cement gravel.
The principle of the dredge Is simple.
After earth has been stirred up by tho big
pulverizer, it is picked up by buckets op
erating on a belt, raised from the water 17
feet above deck, dumped Into a hopper,
which opens Into the trommel (a big hol
low cylinder set at an angle of 30 degrees)
and- forced through the trommel by means
of strong" water pressur. and a spiral ap
paratus on the interior that further aids
the pulverizing work. The surface ot the
trommel Is perforated with nve-elght-lnch
holes, through which the fine sand and all
of the gold ls forced into sluices, where It
passes over what Is known as Hungarian
riffles. These save the gold with the great
est care, but to be sure, the material com
ing from the trommel at the lower end
and the sand washing over the Hungarian
rimes, all must go over a long series of
cariboo riffles as a double assurance.
Hardly any gold is secured in the latter,
proving the Hungarian riffles do their
work.
Water pressure is secured by means of
a 14-Inch rotary pump, having a capacity
of .2SS0 gallons a minute, which can be in
creased to 4320 gallons a minute by In
creasing the revolutions to 120. Earth is
raised by the buckets at the rate of about
five yards a minute, each bucket contain
ing about one yard, and their rate of de
livery being, five per minute. Speed can
be increased to 10 or 12 buckets a minute.
A 100 horse-power boiler, 75 horse-power
engine, two 5x5 winch engines for handling
the ladder, a dynamo for lighting the ct.
tire dredge by electricity, is the motor
strength, but another 25 horse-power en
gine will be aded to run an eight-'nch
centrifugal pump, which will handle about
eight per cent of the gravel.
The dredge Is being watched closoly by
mining men interested In placer d'gglngs,
as It may mean the eolution of the no
water problem that has Impaired so much
good Oregon property.
LECTURED ON PREJUDICE.
Rev. P. C. Yorkc Defended the Holy
Catholic Chnroh.
Rev. Father Peter C. Torke. of St. Pe
ter's Church. San PranpiM 7not.,-i i,,.,
night at St. Mary's Cathedral on "Preju
dice." No admission fee was charged, and
an immense auaience listened to the dis
course, with the closest attention. The
remarks of the clergyman were more in
the nature of a sermon than a lecture,
and in them, the speaker gave for a prac
tical application of th irnnr. nn4 ,.wn.
of general prejudice, the calumnies that
ne saia naa ocen uttered against the Holy
Catholic Church. The rllernnroa -n-o
founded on the Biblical storv of tho
Christ, who came Into the world : n mn
among men; a man whose earthly life was
devoted In making tho blind to see, the
dumb to speak, and the lame to walk;
a man who healed the sick, cured the lep
ers, restored life to the dead, and preached
the gospel to the poor. One would imag
ine, the speaker said, that such a life as
this would be free from the mlsrnnpocont-
atlons of enemies; yet the Lord was re
viled. Enemies called him a winebihher
and said that he cast out "devils In the
name of Beelzebub. This was prejudice,
and it Is well known that no prejudice
is so deep and lasting as rellcious nrelu-
dlce.
"This prejudice." Father Torke contin
ued, "was the basis of all the actions of
the Pharisees. Their rellelon w, rnnflnAH
to a small corner of the earth, and to
comparatively few people. Christ cama
to them as an interruption, for he broke
down the walls between the Jews and the
Gentiles."
The sneaker reviewed the triiimnVinnt
growth of thechurch in spite of all preju
dice and a multitude of obstacles, and
then talked at length on the- prejudice
that existed against the' Catholic Church.
Among other things he said:
"Outside of this community, outside the
Holy Catholic Church. Is a body of people,
nominally Christians, who take a rather
strange view. They say that on the out
side the work and ways of the church
seem fair, but ambition and not sincerity
ls the reason for these things. They say
the Catholics want power and only desire
to erect monuments to their own ambi
tion. They say of the priests: 'These men
have a semblance of piety, but at heart
they are designing. It Is nil outward
show; fair without, but foul within. Their
deeds are evil.'
"They say that Catholics are afraid
of education and desire to keep the masses
of thp people in Illiteracy; that we op
pose public schools and desire to keep all
the children Inside our own schools; that
this ls not because we favor education,
but for the reason that we want to hold
a heavy hand on the people. They say
we are strong among the poor, because
we have robbed the poor and our object
Is to crush out national and Intellectual
life.
"We look in vain to the Christian
churches outside the Catholic Church for
the tens of thousands of devoted women
who have given up their lives to work for
the poor and afflicted in the hospitals and
In the slums: we look In vain for the
magnificent schools; we look In vain for
the hospitals. If there are large charity
hospltals and splendid schools outside the
Catholic Church, they are supported by
the state, by taxes that are paid by every
body. When dangerous epidemics break
out. where are the workers? They come
from the Catholic Church. These people
do not give themselves to this" work for
a few months or a few years, but for life,
and when once enlisted they die in the
harness."

PUBLIC FUNERAL SUNDAY.
Oregon Volunteer Dend Will Be Bnr
led "With Ilonors.
Next Sunday the public funeral of Ore
gon's soldier dead from the Philippines
will take place in Portland. Wednesday
morning the remainder of the bodies re
ceived at the Presidio and not forwarded
to parents will arrive in this city. A de
tail of the Guard will be at the depot
upon their arrival to escort them to the
Armory, where they will lie In state until
Sunday. During this period there will be
a guard over tho bodies night and day.
Sunday morning or afternoon, according
to the time arranged, the great public
service at the Armory will be held, which
will be made a state affair. The funeral
train will proceed from there to the ceme
tery, where the volunteers will bury their
dead comrades with military rites. The
procession will be a large one. consisting
of tho local companies of the National
Guard, under the command of Major Ju
bltz; many civic organizations that have
expressed a desire to participate, the
state officials, and also those of Portland
and such other Oregon towns as care to
attend.
General Summers has been notified by
Colonel Long, Depot Quartermaster at
tho Presidio, that 10 bodies are to be
shipped this morning. The names of the
dead are: Michael P. Crowley, Company
D; Bert J. Clarke, Company A; George
Elchelmer, Company G; James Kelly,
Company G; William McElwaln, Company
H; R. A. Odell. Company L; Robert D.
Hoffman,. Company M; Henry Payne,
Company M; Charles R. Rubart. Com
pany L; L. V. Strawderman, Company L.
The bodies of three have already been re
ceived, which will make the total for In
terment In the military plot 13. Over
these the state will perform the last
rites betokening the esteem In which the
soldier dead are held.
Tuesday evening there will be a large
meeting In the Armory to finish arrange
ments now in the hands of various com
mittees. AH of the "Volunteers are espe
cially urged to be present, as the last
instructions for them will be issued there,
and all the duties of the Volunteers in
tho services over their dead comrades
decided upon. The various committees
out will make report, and it ls hoped that
their respective functions have been fully
performed.
General Beebe and Major Jubltz -were in
conference yesterday, preparing work for
the Guard. They will meet with the
Volunteers Tuesday night and tender the
services of the Guard. In every manner
adding dUgnity and reverence to the oc
casion. FINE LOG CHUTE.
Benson Company Spend 9-1000 In

The Benson Logging & Lumbering Com
pany, which has a camp near Oak Point,
has a chute on the bluff about a mile and
a half below that place, down which it I
has sent 75.000,000 feet of logs during tho
past five years. This is rather trying
on a chute, and It has required fixing and
changing several times. As the company
has at least 75,000,000 feet more of logs to
send down the chute, it has Just had it
put In thorough order at an expense of
J4000, and It ls now the greatest chute on
the Coast

some nlace? with steel nlates. Tt rims

end which retards the speed of the logs '
In their descent, and causes them to shoot

flat on the surface of the river, sending up '
showers of spray to a distance of 150 to '

COMING ATTRACTIONS,
"Toll Gate Inn."
At the Marquam Grand tomorrow anC

the first time in this city a play calle
"Toll Gate Inn." which, from all accounts
has been meeting with big success in th-
East. The critics all speak in the hlghesi
terms of the play, and the production thai
has been given It. which Is said to bd
very elaborate. The play ls built upoij
a story of Continental days, when thd

has Its mission, not that It stirs up olt
animosities, but that It surrounds tin
memory of our Colonial sires and dame;
with a romance, a realism which canno
be obtained by the mere reading of his

was written by Langdon McCormlck. I
