FOR UNITARIAN CHURCH
FORWARD MOVEMBXT BEGUN" BT
FIELD SECRETARY.
Object Is to Explain Faith and Bring
' Doubters Into the
-Church,
The .forward movement' of the First
Unitarian Church was opened yesterday
by the Rev. George W. Stone, field secre
tary of the American Unitarian Associa
tion. This movement Is Intended to in
spire .sympathy with the Unitarian faith
and to bring doubters into the church.
As Mr. Stone said yesterdays "The Uni
tarians feel that they have a mission to
fulfill on earth, and these meetings are
one of the ways of fulfilling it." Mr.
Stone has his headquarters In San Fran
cisco, and since the general convention
of the church is to be held this year m
Los Angeles, he Is making this counter
balancing trip .North. In addition to the
meetings to be held in Portland, he will
conduct similar ones at Salem, Seattle
and Spokane. Last evenlpg he addressed
a large congregation at the First Unitar
ian Church on the subject, "The Leader
ship of Jesus," delivering an Interesting
and powerful sermon. In part, he eaid:
"I do not believe that the religion of
Jesus can .be expressed -la words; that to
me 4s its distinguishing characteristic
There are some experiences in our lives
which cannot be expressed in words; for
example, a mother's love. There are
scenes in nature one cannot describe a
sunset, or a landscape. You can feel the
pne, it may be, or see the other, but you
cannot do Justice to the feeling or the
seeing in words. So it is with the religion
of Jesus. It has in it a delicate element
which cannot be described. It is a spirit
ual religion, and it must be spiritually
discerned. It cannot be acquired by
study. The school men cannot help you
o it The church can only inspire you to
seek for it. It is a longing to do and to
be ood, not for the happiness one gets,
but for the eake of the good itself. It
IE a conviction that there is no solution
for the problems' of life other than those
to be reached though love and service.
Its indescribable character is well illus
trated In that beautiful story of Jesus
and NIcodemus. The language is highly
figurative, but what is meant by being
born again is beautifully expressed in
that poetic verse: The wind bloweth.
where it llsteth, and thou hearest th9
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence
it cometh or whither It goeth; so is every
one who is born of the spirit.' So it Is
with us all. This is the solid ground of
conversion. Sometimes there comes to
us, it may be in our hours of loneli
ness, or perhaps In our hours of trial,
possibly in some hour when our hearts
are melted in sympathy, or it may be
when some great joy has filled us with
the spirit of gratitude, a feeling that we
are at one with the spirit of goodness
which pervades the universe. Or there
may come a time when our unworthlness
-rises before us,a feeling of shame that
we are doing so little for a world that Is
doing so much for us. Then we know
that it Is time to obey the voice of con
science, speaking to us, and to do our
part toward the proper adjustment of
human relations. 'Ye hear the sound
thereof, but know .not whence it com
eth.'
."'This is the religion of Jesus. .In the
paths thus Indicated he Is our leader.
For a life devoted to love and service, he
is the greatest leader the world has ever
known. "With theology, as the schools
teach It, he had nothing to do. He was
not even distantly related to the religion
which tells the world about hells and
hates. The treatise of theology in the
epistles and the Apocalyptic stories have
nothing to do with the religion of Jesus.
His three or four years of teaching and
preaching, of loving and serving, contain
no record of such things, and furnish no
foundations upon which can be built any
philosophic or metaphysical creeds, or
any severe and unyielding eccleslasticism.
"I believe in the leadership of Jesus.
My own experience teaches me that it is
wise to keep the spirit of brotherly love
at the fore all the time. The more I
study the teachings of Jesus the more I
am convinced that he possessed the only
spirit that can conquer the world. He
is our leader in philosophy, as well as in
goodness. We talk much of love, but we
do not trust it enough in our daily lives.
We have a foolish notion that it Is fit
only for the emotions. There Is no sphere
of thought or life that cannot be hallowed
by the great principle of love as Jesus
taught it Do not I pray you, be afraid
of a truth because it appeals to your emo
tions. "Do not forever keep your religion
in a refrigerator: it will keep in the sun
light It will not melt Let us take it
as it came to humanity, phrased in the
musical language of Oriental poetry and
devotion.
"You have heard the babel sounds of
a large orchestra preparing for a con
cert Scores of instruments 'tuning up, as
we say. The impression made upon the
mind is one of discord and confusion. Sud
denly they all cease. The master enters;
he takes place, gives the signal, and we
hear the concord of sweet sounds, melody,
harmony. The 'tuning up was necessary;
without it concord would have been Im
possible. "May it not be so in the world of the
ology and religion? May is not be pos
sible that th6 Jarring noises of the sects
are but the necessary 'tuning up' of the
churches? When the real master enters
into our lives and gives the signal, it
may be that the world will hear once
more a harmony, sweet and heavenly as
that which the poetic legend tells us
thrilled the shepherds of Bethlehem."
This evening Rev. W. D. SImonds. of
Seattle, will preach on "Jesus and Julius
Caesar: Two Masters of Men." Mr.
SImonds Is regarded as one of the best
orators in the Unitarian church. Before
going to Seattle he was minister of the
Unitarian Church, of .Madison, the seat
of the University of Wisconsin. He used
to gather large congregations in a theater
in that city, as he does in Seattle, the
churches in either city being too small
for the congregations.
Tomorrow evening Rev. George W.
Stone. Mr. SImonds and Rev. William G
Eliot of Salem, will speak in turn on
different subjects connected with the
Unitarian faith.
scapes, rivers, mountains, trees, are dec
orated with indescribable glories. We may
think that this land of ours, so marvelous
in scenery. Is the only beautiful land.
But go to others and It is the same.
Ireland, Scotland, England and Germany
have their excellent and attractive sights,
and Switzerland and Italy yet excel
them. So the world all around is filled
with that ,whlch pleases man's higher
tastes. Beauty is all about us. It takes
such souls as that possessed by Ruskln
to see and to lead the duller minds to
see the beauties of ocean, sky and earth.
The common things are clothed with
beauty, if only we lave eyes, to see.
"'The -question most naturally arises.
What Is the use we are to make of
beauty? It Is jevident that God has cre
ated It for a purpose, and that purpose
must be found in man. This world was
built for man. It Is his home and the
place for his training. What use, then,
has beauty in his education and culture?

IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE
PACD7IC COAST LIKELY TO HAVE
IT AFTER IDLY,1.
Proposed to Wake Raral -Delivery
Mere Efficient By--Employing.
Local Inspectors.
WASHINGTON, May 5. There Is .likely
to be a marked Improvement in the rural
free delivery routes of the Pacific Coast
after. July 1, as a result of the trip of
Superintendent A. W. Machen to the
Western States. Mr. Machin. Is superin
tendent of free delivery, and has direct
charge of the rural free delivery service.
At the present time the system east of
the Rockies Is more efficient than along
the Pacific Coast for the reason 'ttiat it
is more thorough and complete. Mr.
Machen is to make a general tour of in
spection in the West and examine most of
the rural free delivery routes, to learn
their needs. It Is probable that -' many
routes will be altered upon his return,
others extended, some curtailed and several-new
routes put into 'operation.
But the most important, change will be
the extending of the supervision arid In
spection service over these routes, the
same as is now exercised in the East and
Middle. West It Is proposed to employ
local inspectors, who will Inspect the sev
eral routes, making recommendations of
changes, when necessary, and exercising
a general supervision in that section.
These agents will be without authority,
however, to establish new routes. -Inas
much as the little supervision and inspec
tion now afforded the Pacific Coast" is con
trolled at Chicago, It to deemed expedient
to create a separate or fifth division, em
bracing all the Pacific Coast States.
The department has not found Wash
ington a state very well adapted to rural
free delivery, because of the large areas
which are so sparsely settled, particularly
in the east. On the other hand, In the
western section of the state, the more
populous communities seem to be satis
fied Tvlth their present service. But more
than all else, the people themselves have
manifested little Interest In rural free
delivery, and Inasmuch as these routes
are only Installed where the people them
selves make the request, little has been
done in Washington. There Is probably
little as of this service ' In Washington
as in any state in the Union.
On the contrary, the people of Oregon
seem to have awakened to its advantages,
and numbers of petitions-are now on file
awaiting reports by the local agents, be
fore the department can act. - In fact.
the people of certain sections of the state
are so enthusiastic over rural free "deliv
ery that they give .the department no rest
until the routes are put In operation.'

HECETA HEAD LIGHTHOUSE, PHOTOGRAPHED THROUGH AN APERTURE DT A BLUFF.
? Along the coast of Oregon in the vicinity of Heceta Head, and between there and toe mouth of the Sluslaw River, is e
some of the most picturesque scenery in the world. The view of Heceta Head through a hole in a rocky bluff at some 9
distance, is a sample of this scenery. The oval-shaped aperture in, the rock looks as if it had been made to order as a 9
frame for the picture of the lighthouse. Heceta Head light is 20 miles north of the mouth of the Sluslaw River. Heceta
J Head was named In honor of Don Bruno Heceta. a Spanish naval officer, who visited it In the frigate Santiago, In 1775, $
O and made some surveys and soundings In that vicinity. The photograph from which the picture was made Is rather a striking
one, from the point of view selected, and the lights and shadows represented. It was taken by some artist, whose name is

"THE MINISTRY OF BEAUTY."
Sermon lj- Itev. H. W. KellopR- on
Its Influence and Place in Life.
"The Ministry of Beauty" was the sub
ject of Rev. H. W. Kellogg at the Taylor-Street
Methodist Episcopal Church
last evening. He took as his text Eccle
slastes, 111:2, "He hath made everything
beautiful in Its time." The mission of
beauty on earth and Its Influence and
place in life were pointed out by the
speaker, who said in part:
"The story which Norman Lockyer tells
of the priest whom he found among the
barren peaks of the Rocky Mountains,
who had come there to see the things
that God had made that were beautiful
and had hidden them there, reveals a
heart sensitive to the touch of the beau
tiful. To seek In mountain dreariness the
beauty of the earth requires a soul hlghly
cultured in the appreciation of the beau
tiful. But we are told this was the result
of a dream. He had visited the heav
enly land, and at the gate Peter met
him with the surprising statement "Thou
art from earth, that beautiful world,' and
for the first time he was awakened to
the truth that the world In which he
was living was a world of beauty. Then
It was he determined to see it
"It only needs a .reference to the fact
to convince any sound mind that this
world, above all other qualities, contains
beauty. God has adorned it It Is this
In which the Creator has dealt most ex
travagantly. This season of the year na
ture puts on nevr dresses to charm us.
To travel is to become acquainted with
the beautlfuL Wherever you go, land-
heavenly Father has made a mistake in
expending so much in it There is far
more beauty in the world than utility.
Where there is one apple there are often
a hundred blossoms. He has made the
very commonest things delightful to see.
Rocks and mountains are adorned, the
very earth we tread upon is rich with
veritable splendor. Surely God wants
man to use his provision. He is more
anxious to delight him than to feed him.
This commercial age, with its hardening
effects, needs very much the softening
and modifying Influence of beauty. Sci
ence tears the flowers to pieces to see
how they are made In its anxiety to dis
cover the truth, but too often forgets the
higher uses of the flower. Mr. Darwin
most pathetically lamented near the close
of his life that he had neglected to culti
vate the love for the beauty of nature.
He had been so Intense in his scientific
purposes that he had grown hard, and his
soul, amid the glories of God's world, had
become deadened to the sense of the de
lightful. The tender and delicate nature
that In earlier life responded to the touch
of music and beauty became 'atrophied.'
How ungodllke is such a soul!
"We are to cultivate and admire
the beautiful. Jacob was not less a man
because he sought to make the coat of
his son beautiful with colors. It is not a,
sign of religion or an Indication of spir
ituality to Ignore or despise adornments
which tend to beautify the person.
"We are to encourage the creations of
beauty. In all the arts and In personal
appearance it may lead to pride, but this
is In shallow minds. Beauty in home and
in the useful articles should be sought.
Ugliness is often as expensive. Beauty is
not always costly. But if It is expensive
it will bring returns most useful.
"No greater mistake Is made than to
attempt to satisfy life with the barren
necessities, to eat and drink and breathe.
Life is larger, and the beautiful must con
tribute to Its highest and most Important
ends. In building cities we are in danger
of being swallowed up by the commercial
spirit We neglect to beautify. We are
making a sad mistake in not securing our
parks, even If at present we may not com
plete them. Our churches should be
places of beauty. I have no sympathy
with the criticism upon the beauty of
temples of worship, for fear we shall
make some people feel uncomfortable. If
we are to cater to the tastes of some peo
ple, we would destroy the most valuable
Influences of Christianity. Let us beautify
our churches and lead up the vulgar taste
to appreciate these things.
"To be sure, the esthetic taste Is to be
classed among the higher and most sub
stantial qualities of human nature. That
which we seek in nature to gratify it are
but transient influences, which, when
they have served their purpose, will pass
away. Flowers fade and cloud glories van
ish, but these only train us for the beau
tiful that is abiding. This beauty is to
be. found in character the beauty . of
righteousness and holiness. Beauty may
be bewitching and hurtful. It leads to
TiTiHa nnd extravasrance. These lead to
Iruln. It is a noted fact th'aT the great
nations of the earth planted the seeds of
death In the midst of their most beautiful
gardens gardens crowned with matchless
art It is not enough to admire beauty
In nature, unless this shal raise the soul
to pray: 'Let the beauty of the Lord, our
God. be upon us, and establish the work
of our hands. "

or no recognition at the hands of Con
gress. It would be a good scheme, in my
opinion, if two river and 'harbor bills
could bo presented at each Congress, one
making appropriations for the recognized
commercial centers and Important com
mercial cities, such as New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and other cities on the
Atlantic Goasfand San Francisco, Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma on the Pacific.
Every one recognizes that harbors of cit
ies should be kept in tha prime of con
dition, and to do this a greater or -less
annual expenditure Is necessary.
"Furthermore, the improvement of such
harbors is of general benefit to the coun
try. New York City Is not the only place
that feels the effect of a good harbor
at that point The shipping In that city
comes from all parts of the country, and
Indirectely the business all over the coun
try is benefited by having this harbor
protected and improved. So it is in Port
land. That city alone does not reap the
full benefit of a good channel to the sea.
All Oregon, much of Eastern Washington
and most of Idaho joins in the benefits
from such an Improvement. For these
reasons, I say one river and harbor bill
should be drawn in the interest of the
really important shipping points of the
country. It Is easy to draw the line be
tween these Improvements and the others.
"Then, if need be, a second bill could be
framed to make provision for the smaller
streams and harbors. There are hun
dreds of such items provided for In river
and harbor bills of later years. This sec
ond bill should embrace appropriations
for all streams that are purely local in
their influence on commerce. A notable
example is Yaqulna Bay. No one holds
that the Improvement of Yaqulna Bay
Kwould benefit any one in an adjoining
state, and the statistics show that its
improvement benefits but a handful of
producers in any event. That Is a purely
local improvement. Other improvements
In Oregon, such as the Coqullle, Long
Tom, Yamhill and other rivers, Coos Bay
and Tillamook Harbor, are all Improve
ments which benefit only the Immediate
vicinity. In no sense are they national
Improvements. This class of rivers and
harbors should be provided for In the
second river and harbor bill.
"I have little doubt that the latter bill
would fail to pass, for that would be the
one which means local patronage, and
no member Is going to fall to vote for a
bill which means an expenditure of-Government
money In his district. However,
this plan has the advantage of putting
all National improvements in one cate
gory, and all local improvements in an
other. The first bill should pass each year;
the latter at less frequent Intervals, If at
all. No one questions the necessity for
improving our large harbors, while there
is a great deal of question whether or not
the General Government should improve
purely local streams. The general bill
could be passed readily, and whatever
squabbling Is necessary could be done
over the local bill. The Items which are
generally criticised and lead to long debate
are the local items anyway,' and under
this two-bill system, meritorious and im
portant projects could be carried out, and
not be made to suffer because of question
able distribution of the appropriation on1
smaller projects."

On the Berlin Bourse.
BERLIN, May 12. Throughout last
week the German Bourse studied the Wall
street situation with the most intense in
terest,, but with great reserve and In ex
pectation of a crash. The Frankfurter
Zeitung now remarks that "the direct in
terest of German speculation in American
securities Is at present, not great, and
German bankers have largely reduced
their American holdings of late."
Nevertheless, the paper admits, the
events In Wall street have caused anxiety
in this country, because a reaction Is
feared upon European markets. In com
mon with the Berliner Tageblatt and oth
er representative journals, the Frankfurt
er Zeitung interprets the experience of
Wall street during the week as showing
the evils of cash settlements, arguing that
such wild fluctuations would have been
impossible If sales for future delivery ex
isted. The reaction here Thursday was
not heavy, and there was a partial recov
ery yesterday.
Shippings Butter to Seattle.,
A Portland firm will ship .a car
load of butter to Seattle the first
of this week. This is the first
time one firm has shipped a car
load of butter to Seattle In a long-time,
and shows that the butter trade Is as
suming larger proportions here. The
greater part of butter shipped nowadays
Is shipped an rolls, but occasionally an
order Is received for large lots of .butter
in tubs. Then the tubs are sent to a
creamery to be filled. In some towns
some large dealers make a practice of re
tailing tub butter. A' number of tubs of
different qualities and prices from 'differ
ent localities are turned out on a counter
and labeled as to the price, and customers
select the kind that suits them best, and
as much as they desire is cut off-with a
string. Portland people as 'a general
thing prefer the roll butter.
