company has completed arrangements for
erecting a 'steam relay station, the ma

with other steam relay plants of the

not being made to increase the volume
of electricity, but merely to be used for

cars, thus greatly Increasing the use of
electricity.
ST. JOHN AMENDED.
And Some Reflections on the Emen
dation. PORTLAND, AprU14. (To the Editor.)
Rev, Edgar P. Hill today read from
his pulpit throe verses of the first chap
ter of, John, with the following emenda
tion : '
First In the beginning: -was Mr. Mills, and
Mr. Mills was -with Goa, and Mr. Mills was
God,
Second The same was in the beginning with
God.
.Third All "tilings were made by Mr. Mills,
and without Mr. Mills was not anything made
that was made.
Since Rev. Dr. Edgar Potentate Hill
has set the precedent for revising the
Holy Writ after his own humor, per
haps he wants the next person to sub
stitute "Dr. Hill" in the above. Such a
revision would accord well with the pom
pousness and Great-I-Am of the First
Presbyterian pulpit. Since the rever
end doctor has the spectacle of ever
changing religious expression to check his
dogmatism, It seems rather strange that
he should be more arbitrary on the tran
sitory conventions of Christianity than on
the permanent truths.
If Dr. Hill shall ever broaden out into
a more sincere, earnest exponent of Chris
tian precept, be will not attempt ridi
cule in a solemn matter like religion. This
-universal mystery may be a joke to Dr.
Hill, but to all others It Is a sad, ex
cruciating enigma, which hasfracked the
souls of men since the dawn of conscious
ness. A subject of religion Is not for
flippancy or persiflage, nor a toy.
Thetgrat beneficiaries of the Intelligence
of man have deemed this solemn mystery
worthy of the profoundest thought they
could bring to bear. There have been
preachers of orthodoxy, so-called, who
won admiration, even from, adversaries
In opinion, by the generousness ol their
spirit and by their Intense yet kindly en
thusiasm. Dr. Hill has the example of
his Great Teacher to show him the Impro
priety of levity. If he will follow this
example and sway the lives of men by
impresslveness. sincere fervor and all that
Is noblest and best in him. Instead of
practicing the shafts of sarcasm and rid
icule, hejwill accomplish more of the mis
eion to which he was ordained at the
creation of the universe. The tricks of a
fool, nor wit, nor mirth, have place in
the grave problem of destiny. We may
banish reflection for a day or a lifetime,
but when the sands are spent In their al
lotted measure, when the gaiety of life
iias reached that ending where it needs
must be pensive, if not sad, serious, if
not melancholy; after levity has been in
dulged to the point where all pleasure is
sated; then recurs inevitable, the solemn,
awful mystery, which no forgetfulness
can banish forever, and which the wiles
of jest only aggravate in the final reck
oning. Dr. Hill is a minister to his pa
trons' spiritual comfort. Does he comfort
when he jests?
The Christianity of Jesus was gentle,
persuasive, infused with the utmost tenderness-and
love, and with a psycholog
ical quality which the world could not
endure because it could not understand.
Uow, the world is tolerant and endures
what it does not understand until it does
understand. If Dr. Hill will be as gen
erous as his age he will not have to fight
with steel, for truth needs no weapons
but sincerity and solemnity. It is thus
that the Christian precept of nonresist
ance endures. And by such course Dr.
Hill will make friends of all, believers
uid cunbelievers, and ihey will admire
him.
" Every man -is entitled to his religious
convictions. Dr: Hill Is entitled to his. B.
Fay Mills is entitled to life". 311nlser Wu
is entitled to his. But no man Is entitled
to ridicule the religion of his neighbor;
witness Ingersoll and the universal cen
sure of his methods. Dr. Hill would object
to being cjassed with Ingereall; iut why,
when he uses Ingersoll's weapons? The
writer Is far from being an admirer of
Mr. Mills, but he will say this, that Mr.
Mills .does not ridicule any man's belief. If
Dr. Sill's creed satisfies those who seek
it. It Is a good creed for them. So with
them who are Baptists, or Unitarians, or
Mohammedans, or Buddhists.
Dr. Hill betrays by his panic that he
doubts. Absolute faith Is absolutely with
out doubt. It is wholly unconscious of
itself.- Moreover, it cannot be acquired
"iproof or any other means. It Is In
herent in (the individual's religious anat
omy, and as unvarying as the sum of
two and two. The moment It needs proof
it Is else than faith. An axiom of life,
not amenable to proof or doubt, such Is
faith. When faith begins to tell why It
believes, It is Insincere, because true
faith does not know why It believes.
A word more. Dr. Hill does not seem
to know that ridicule Is the most dan
gerous of weapons for the preacher of
truth. It Is a veritable boomerang, which
not only returns with more force than
sent out, but demolishes structures of
belief faster than any heresy. The min
ister who uses it divests his religion of
sanctity and mysticism, and himself
of his mien of sincerity. He loses the
Impresslveness whereby he controls the
Imagination of his flock. A deeply reflect
ive, sincere minister can carry truth to
his flock by appeals to religious Instinct.
When he tries sarcasm or irony or levity
he enters the lists with an element which
is unsparing of all ceremony, and he be
comes a peddler of chicane with the rest.

BIO YEAR FOR BUILDERS
ARCHITECTS BUSY WITH PLANS
FOR NEW HOMES.
Area of Activity on East Side Ex
tending Soxne of 'the Dwel- -lings.
Favorable weather, last week enabled
builders to push work on-dwellings under
way and to begin the foundations of many
others. The offices of builders and arcnl
tects were thronged with persons seeking
information of cost of construction and
desiring to let contracts for dwellings.
SOME FINE NEW
On the East Side the building area has
extended In all directions inside the city
boundaries, and has reached some of the
suburbs. The outlook for a big building
year is considered encouraging..
After many months of work since the
completion of the foundation, the resi
dence of W. P. Olds, on Union avenue
and Hassalo street, is near completion.
In design and finish It is no doubt the
finest dwelling on the East Side, and will
equal most of the residences In other por
tions of the city. The ground is a quarter
block, and the full dimensions of the
house are 39x53 feet. The basement, with
stone walls and concrete floor, cost $3000.
The residence contains eight large rooms
and many small ones, all finished with the
b.est imported material. The dwelling
fronts Hassalo street with a wide veranda
and blue pointed stone walls, supported
by massive stone pillars. The front en
trance is through a vestibule finished in
natural oak, set In panel. The floor Is of
walnut and oak. The reception-room Is
18x19 feet, finished in oak. The parlor Is
16x26 feet, and is finished in Minnesota
sycamore and the floor is of oak. The
fire-place is set In onyx. The stairway
heading from the library is finished in oak.
The carving at the end of the first land
ing is rarely excelled anywhere. There is
one piece of oak an Inverted shell carved,
which is just above an oriel window.
The posts at the lower end of the stair
way are of carved oak. In the reception
room Is a fire-place of art tiling. The
dining-room is 16x20 feet, finished in oak.
In the rear is the flower window, above
which and on the cap Is a line of beautiful-oak
carving. The floors of the lower
rooms are oak In parquet, and those on
the second floor of birdseye maple, the
finish of which has brought out the beauty
of the wood to the fullest extent. The
bathroom is finished in tiling of exquisite
beauty. The hardware is solid brass. All
permanent clothes receptacles and
drawers are finished In Port Orford cedar.
Nothing has been omitted In this dwelling
that would give comfort and suggest good
taste and refinement In design and archi
tecture. On the outside, concrete side
walks are being finished. The building
will be ready to be occupied In a month.
The cost Is $18,000.
H. Alger's Residence.
In the same class with Mr. Olds' dwell
ing Is that of H. Alger, on East Sixth
and East Oregon. This is a two-.story.
.46x48 feet, with a full basement having
stone walls. The basement is eight feet
in the clear. Entrance is through a hand
somely finished vestibule. The parlor is
16x16 feet, and is finished in natural oak,
with walls kalsomined In color to corre
spond with the oak finish. The spacious
hall Is of red velvet coloring and tinted
with latest, design. The dining-room is
16x18 feet, with white maple floors of fine
finish. All the rooms of the first floor are
handsomely finished. The floors of the
second floor are finished In Klickitat pine
In the natural color, and the floors are of
pine. Mr. Alger's house cost about $15,000.
Frank Robertson's Residence.
Under construction on East Seventeenth
and Hancock streets Is a colonial resi
dence for Frank Robertson, of Corbett,
Falling & Robertson. Work is well along,
but all the finishing remains to be done.
It will be one of the handsomest dwellings
on the East Side. It fronts on 'Hancock
street with a broad veranda extending
along the front of the,' house, and a cov
ered driveway at the east end of the ve
randa. The veranda is supported by heavy
I r ir"""- CSS, WJZjf2aRP& TILLAMOOK y4l

wooden pillars. Entrance to the reception
room Is through a vestibule finished in
native fir. The house will have eight
rooms, besides several in the attic. The
building will cost between 55000 and 57000.
It stands on a quarter block.
H. O'Brien's Residence.
The residence of H. O'Brien, on East
Twentieth and Hancock streets, Is practi
cally completed. It has eight rooms. It
fronts on Hancock street with a wide ve.
randa supported by clusters of square
pillars, and an open circular porch at the

"WHY I REMAIN A CHRISTIAN"
Sermon by Rev. H. W. Kellogg; in
Answer to B. Fay Mills.
Last night at the Taylor-Street Church,
Dr. Kellogg took occasion to state his rea
son for retaining his faith in Christianity.
The disouss'iQn was from a practical
standpoint His text was, "Who is he
that overcometh the world but he that
believed that eJsus'Is the Son of God?"
He said that we should have a rational
faith. If a faith is not according to rea
son, it should be changed for one that is,
as soon as possible. No man is to be
scorned because he makes such a change,
but rather -is to be honored. But faith
must be vital. It must harmonize every
part of the man's behig with Important
facts. If a man'e mind were all of him,
then a religion which was simply rational
would be enough. The religion that man
needs must have inspiration.
"My reason for retaining faith in Chris
tianity," said Dr. Kellogg, "is a very
practical one. I am not a Christian be
cause I believe all that has been taught
as Chris Ian: but, first, because of what
it has done for mankind. In spite of all
the encumbrances which human institu
tions have imposed on it, Christianity haa
had a grand record. In its march across
the centuiies It has elevated every people
it has touched and brought higher Intel
ligence, fuller Jiberty and richer love. The
heroes who have able to 'overcome this
world I mean the aggressive, active men,
who have brought things to pass In this
world, and created the good in modern
civilization have largely been Christian
men. Mr. Gladstone, shortly before his
death, said: 'During more than 60 years
of public life I have known personally
50 of the greatest statesmen of modern
times, and all but three of them were
Christians.' My second reason is, what
Christianity is capable of doing. I under
stand that that which has been useful
may be outgrown. Indeed, all human In
stitutions serve their time and are super
seded by that which is the creation of
higher knowledge. A living religion must
contain that which continues to benefit
mankind, or it becomes obsolete. It Is
because of those elements which Chris
tianity contains that I hold to it. What
are those who are dreaming of something
better and demanding a new religion ask
ing? There is but one answer. It is for
a- religion of 'love.' Well, this Is the
very genius of Christianity. It was at
the beginning such an exhibition of iove
as the world had never seen. The world
has no equal yet. Genius, in its highest
attempts at creation, comes far short of
the story of the cross. This fact was
what made Mr. Milla reject the mythical
theories of the last century and say: 'It
takes a Jesus to forge a Jesus.' His ex
hibition of love is" so supreme that there
is no attempt at imitation. And however
perverted has been the true spirit of
Christianity, through ecclesiastical mis
rule, or through -traditional superstitions,
and there have been many, yet the spirit
of love, which the Master taught and
which he 'exhibited by the cross, has ne
er lost its nower, has never been sub
merged; the cross has led it its victories.
"This has ever been the secret of power
in the religion of Jesus. But what Is the
service of love? Here, again, so contrary
to the world's, notion, has Christianity
shown supremacy. Love lo not a mere
sentiment which pleases and comforts,
but it is a power which stimulates. And
the wisdom of Christianity is seen in that
It builds Its ethical rule on the Inspiration
of love. 'He that loveth me keepeth my
commandments. It Is the only law that
governs the world effectively. Nations
have been trying the educational method,
as has China, and trying it most thor
oughly, for more than 25 centuries, and
what Is the result? What Is the national
Integrity of China? Recent exhibitions are
too evident to need further remark. 'But
who is he that overcometh the world but
he that believes. Men are Inspired by
love to Christ to the noblest life, and to
triumph over the severest difficulties and
even death. What better do we want?
What we do need Is to get back to the
true Christianity of Christ. The nearer
we get to this the stronger we are to con
quer the world. This age is feeling the
need of freeing Itself from the burdens
of traditional interpretations and Inherit
ed expressions and striking again first
principles, as Jesus taught them. The
watchword of the time 16, 'Back to Christ;
back to his spirit; back to his truth;
back to his love!' All of us, no doubt,
have had our trials of faith. I pity the
man who has not. We have had our sea
sons of dissatisfaction "with the s!ow
progress oT reforms and have been Impa
tient with the sluggich conservatism of
the church, its contentions and Its mis
taken, attitude toward science.
"And, third, my faith rests in Christian
ity for what she is yet to do. She is
better ready now than ever. She has the
flush of youth on her cheek. She is not
infiim. She is beautiful In ministry, vig
orous in life; she Is outgrowing her child
hood clothes In which some have tried to
keep her, and in the glow of life she Is
seeking new victories. Speaking In more
languages, scattering mercieo among more
nations, bringing to her defense and aid
riper scholarship and sounder wl3dom
than ever before. It Is a poor time to
forsake her. If there have been reasons
In the past for doubt, they are lessening
every 'year. With such spirit and life,
enriched by such resources as now com
mands, the wise thing to do Is not to
seek some new combine for a universal
religion, fcut to get in and work to malu
this one universal. 'This is the victory
that overcometh the world.' "

PORTLAND, April 13. (To the Editor.)
It Is Interesting to note that the su
perintendent of the Port of Portland
dredge has discovered there is friction Irr
the delivery pipe, and that he proposes
to Increase the efficiency of the pumps
and remove this friction by giving the
pipe some gravity (meaning, presumably
to give It a grade by elevating the pipe
near the dredge). A discussion of this
nature would be more appropriate for
some technical journal, but as the fun
damental principles Involved are quite
simple, it Is easy to demonstrate the en
tire fallacy of Mr. Kclley's theory. In
the first place, most people know that
"My Family Must Have
Halt Breakfast Food
Regularly at Breakfast Be
cause They Find It More
Palatable and Health
ful Than OtherGraln
Foods They Have
Used."
A Denver lady whose sons are members
of the Ralston Health Club, after reading
the letter of "Webster Edgerly, President
of the Club, determined some weeks ago
to give Malt Breakfast Food a trial. Her
family were so delighted with the Food,
they decided to continue Its use. Its de
licious flavor, easy digestion. Its health
giving properties have made It an indis
pensable dish for breakfast in that home.
To her grocer she said: "My family mu3t
have Malt Breakfa3t Food regularly at
breakfast, because they find it more pal
atable and healthful than other grain
foods they have used."
Thousands of families have given up the
use of the old stomach-irritating foods
for Malt Breakfast Food that proves itself
so" nutritious and strengthening. Grocers
sell It.
friction exists In a pipe filled with run
ning water or sand and water, and that
the longer the pipe Is, the more friction
existing, it requires a certain force to
balance this friction, and it is Immate
rial whether this force Is used direct in
opposition to the friction or is used in
elevating the water to a greater height
and allowing gravity "to overcome the
friction. If Mr.Kelley has been quoted
correctly, he simply proposes to convert
friction head Into, pressure head, and
expects to gain power thereby, which is
in -direct opposition to the law of con
servation of energy. If one wishes to
pump water up to a certain point, he
does not elevate It to a higher point, and
then allow It to run down, and If the
discharge end of delivery pipe remains
at the same elevation, the pumps will
discharge the same amount of material,
irrespective of the position of the pipe,
provided it lst not' raised at the dredge
above ascertain point, in which case the
discharge Will be less. That any pump
will discharge more material through a
short pipe than a long one Is conceded
by the majority of civil engineers, and
since, to quote Mr. Kelley, "the delivery
pipe is obstructing the work of the
pumps," why not do like the man who
wanted to avoid accidents to the las'
car on railway trains leave It off?

Pure soap does that.'. This
is why we want pure soap;
and when we say pure,
we mean without alkali.

Dr. Bennett's Electric Belt
Is entirely different and must not be confused
with other so-called electric belts. As a. re

States Government has given me the exclusive

There are no electric belts "Just as good" as
Dr. Bennett's, for there are none like It. It
has soft, silken, chamois-covered sponge elec
trodes, which do not burn and blister as do
the bare metal electrodes used on all other

when burned out for only 75o: when others
burn out they are worthless.
