SERVICES FOR CHILDREN
LITTLE QNES . REMEMBERED JTf
MAXY PORTLAND CHURCHES.
Dr. L&throp Shovra the Relation, of
the Church to the Subject of
Higher Education.
Children's day was celebrated yesterday
In many Portland churches. The pro
grammes -were -In charge of the Sunday
schools, and In the exercises the children
took the leading part. Among the
churches that held services were Grace
Methodist, Calvary Presbyterian, First
Christian, Second Baptist, Centenary
Methodist, Sunnyside Congregational,
First United Evangelical, Mlzpah Presby
terian, Mount Tabor Methodist, Hassalo
Btreet Congregational, "Westminster Pres
byterian and First Unlversallst. At Cen
tenary Methodist Church, East Ninth and
East Pine streets, special Children's day
exercises were held. The auditorium was
decorated with flowers. Across the grand
organ were the words, "Suffer little chil
dren to come unto me." In the Sunday
school room the verse, "Remember thy
Creator in the days ol thy youth," was
displayed from the gallery. Dr. Gue
preached. He baptized 17 children and re
ceived 26 persons Into the church. The
children's collection amounted to $3S. An
interesting programme was rendered by
the Sunday school.
At Grace Methodist Church, the exer
cises were of more than ordinary Interest,
the whole day having been devoted to the
subject of education. At the forenoon
hour the Sunday school, assisted by the
choir, rendered a beautiful service, enti
tled "The Gateway of the Century." J.
K. Gill, the superintendent, assisted by
Mrs. C. A. Morden, superintendent of the
primary department, had planned to make
the hour edifying and Inspiring. Commit
tees had tastefully decorated the altar,
which was enhanced in beauty by the
presence of the children and young people
surrounding it.
At the evening service, the pastor, the
Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop, spoke upon the
subject, "Christian Higher Education,"
choosing bis text from Proverbs 11:3-5:
"If thou crlest after knowledge, and 11ft
est up thy voice for understanding; if thou
seekest her as sliver, and searchest for
her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou
understand the fear of the Lord and find
the knowledge of God." He said:
" The gateway Into the new century Is
the doorway into the college. "We not
only believe in education, but higher edu
cation, by which we mean at least col
legiate training. The college-trained citi
zen is becoming more and more a neces
sity to the highest purposes of the state.
The state recognizes this, and is wisely
making provision for the higher education
of its children by the establishment of
colleges and universities to supplement the
high school courses. The state which pro
vides for the education of its youth forti
fies Itself against unseen future emergen
cies and present need. In the United
States throughout her whole history col
lege graduates have averaged one to 750
of the adult male population. And yet
from this small fraction have come 32 per
cent of all our Congressmen, 46 per cent of
our Senators, G5 per cent of our Presi
dents, and 73 per cent of the Judges of the
Supreme Court. President Thwlng flnds
that a college education has multiplied
the possibilities of young men reaching
fame 403 fold. Out of 629 Americans we
find that a college education Increases the
possibilities of young men reaching suc
cess today 1043 fold. This remarkable fact
shows not alone the necessity but the
wisdom of the state and church Insisting
upon higher education. In the last quar
ter of a century college graduates have in
creased until now they number one In 91
of men 21 years of age and over. The
known millionaires of the United States
reveal the astounding fact that the college
graduates have furnished 440 times as
many men of wealth as their numbers
entitle them to. In other words, Dr. Bash
ford, who is to be credited with these
statistics, concludes that college training
increases a young man's chances for suc
cess and influence and In gaining distinc
tion from 350 to 2000 fold.
"The state, therefore, educates; so does
the church. The latter educates because
the state cannot, at least, does not, reach
and secures but a small fraction of the
youth to higher education. It is too gen
erally true, and too little deplored, that
such a vast number of the youth complet
ing the high school course drops out of
school. This Is more true of the young
men than of the young women. The
church reaches and secures large numbers
of young people for college. Our own
church has a student list of 60,000, in 225
institutions. Should the church cease to
educate, thousands would fall away. Then
the church has a responsibility aside from
this. Each great denomination has a pe
culiar insight into the needs of Its young
people. Perhaps few in the Nation know
so Intimately the needs of the family as
do the ministers of the great denomina
tions. Vast numbers of young people each
year come Into the church, and she would
be- recalcitrant to duty did she not pro
vide liberally for the higher education of
this increasingly great host.
"By Christian higher education is not
meant that the state does not favor Chris
tian education, for the state institutions
are more and more becoming saturated
by the Christian spirit. Nor is it meant
that the church schools are sectarian, for
the church college has the same curricula
for the degrees, and denomlnatlonalism is
not conspicuous and is little heard of, but
the church seeks to surround the student
with every environment which will pre-'
serve in the mind and life of the student
the Christ life. Teachers of decided Chris
tian experience are selected, the social at
mosphere is permeated with the Christ
spirit, the necessity of the spiritual life Is"
prominent, and in many institutions, such
as our Ohio "Wesleyan, gracious revivals of
religion each year take place, and to-this
fact that great school owes much of its
prestige and power. The church school
insists that the spiritual life Is not in
compatible to the highest type of schol
arship, and seeks to preserve both In Its
constituency. There Is a large place for
both the state and church school.
"The Willamette University Is our school
in this state, and beautifully situated,
with full courses leading to the A. B. and
M. S. degrees, and professional courses
leading to medicine, law, music, oratory.
It will, no doubt, become the pride of
every Methodist to make this a school
In every respect commensurate with our
opportunity for, while we love the state
and rejoice In her schools, and other de
nominations, and hall their work with
pride we yet are to remember that Meth
odism has here a peculiar heritage and
mission, and the day of our opportunity
is now, while the valleys are filling with
people. Wisdom and knowledge are not
orfly to be sought, but we are to provide
for the seeking of them, as for hid treas
ure, and In the leading of the people to
the understanding of the fear of the Lord
wo shall find the knowledge of God. There
is an everlasting difference between mak
ing a living and making a life and Chris
tian higher education In state or church
insists upon this fact."
LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Purity in This World Means Happi
ness In the Next.
Rev. G. B. Van Waters, rector of St.
David's Episcopal Church, East Side,
spoke yesterday morning from the text,
St. Luke xvl:26, "Between us and you
there is a great gulf fixed; so that they
which would pass from hence to you
cannot, neither can they pass to us that
would come from thence." He said in
part:
"This parable Is one of the most strik
ing ever uttered by Jesus. It Is startling.
It brings vividly to mind the life beyond
the grave. And from the chapter where
in the text is found we draw the infer
ence that there Is to be a reversal of
affairs from the state in which they ex
ist here. It Intimates that those who are
up here shall be down there, that the
rich shall be poor and so on. The Bible
tells us that the wicked In the other
world shall no longer prosper, that there
shall be no oppression, wrong shall not
triumph over right, and that everything
good shall prevail. Herein 13 the differ
ence between the natural and the spiritual
worlds.
"In the parable of the rich man and
Lazarus, there is no particular descrip
tion given of the rich man. As no par
ticulars are given of his character, it is
not right to say that he was unjust. The
text does not say this. He was simply
a man of great wealth. There is nothing

wrong In having riches. Wealth Is a great
means of alleviating the miseries of the
world. But what was wrong In this rich
man if he had gained his money hon
estly? The wrong lay In the improper
use of it. He lived in extravagance and
luxury, and every thought was centered
In the aggrandizement of self. He lived for
pleasure alone Hence, his sin was selfish
ness. He did no wicked act, but he did
no good or kind act. Poverty lay at his
palatial gate In the shape of a fellow
mortal, yet the rich man gazed upon him
without a change of heart. Suffering,
because it did not affect him, stirred him
not to pity, and he felt no commisera
tion for woe or trouble. It Is possible for
one to be poor and yet be happy. A
peaceful, contented mind is riches itself.
Sometimes a Question arises as how to
relieve the miseries of the poor. One is
by legislation. By casting the ballot prop
erly much can be done. But more potent
still, and more effective, too, Is spiritual
regeneration.
"It seems to the casual observer that f
the punishment of the rich man was out
of proportion to the crime, or that there
should be such a gulf. It means that
character is formed and crystallized.
Men, in other world, can not go to
the places for which their characters
unfit them. It means that selfishness can
not mix with unselfishness. It means that
we take our lives with us just as we
are. We shall be happy In the life be
yond if we are good In this life. If we
have the happiness resulting from a true,
pure life, there Is no question about the
future. If you are strong In doing good
according to the light of your conscience,
you are preparing yourself for a splendid
residence In the other world. Though you
be in affliction, poverty or trouble, you
have nothing to fear."
"THE 3IIXD OP CHRIST."
Obtainable by Prayer, It Is the As
surance of Salvation.
Rev. J. F. Ghormley preached at the
First Christian Church yesterday morn
ing on "The Mind of Christ," taking his
text from Phillppians 11:5-9: "Let this mind
be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;
who, being in the form of God, thought
It not robbery to be equal with God;
but made himself of no reputation, and
took upon him the form of a servant,
and was made In the likeness of men;
and being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient
unto death, even the death of the cross,
wherefore God also hath highly exalted
him and given him a name which is
above every name." Dr. Ghormley said:
"Here Is the philosophy of true great
ness. Whoever rises to enduring thrones
and receives names that live must bear
his own cross to Calvary. If we were
discussing the existence of the Christ
with the Father before the worlds were
made, the text which we have read would
be a clear announcement of the proposi
tion. Paul was the Inspired writer of
this text and this utterance leaves no
doubt as to his attitude concerning the
divinity of the Christ. It is In perfect
accord with statements found elsewhere
in his writings: 'Who is the image of the
invisible God, the first born of every
creature. . . . And he Is before
all things and by him all things consist.
And he Is the head of the body, the"

Father that in him should all fulness
dwell.' Colossians 1:15-19.
"In fact, this truth is the burden of
every book of the New Testament, from
the Emmanuel of Matthew to the Alpha
and the Omega of the Apocalypse. There
are only two things in the universe mind
and its product. We are not to present
today the mind of the Christ In creation,
but in redemption. Whatever is meant
by 'being in the form of God,' he was
''found in fashion as a man,', taking
'upon him the form of a servant, and
was made in the likeness of men.' His
humiliation was the mystery of angels
and the rock of offence to the false phil
osophers. His mind was all-embracing,
and we are to study it and receive it in
the light of what it has done and will
continue to do. He was rich, but for our
sakes he became poor, and his poverty
has enriched the world. We can know
the mind of the artist only as we behold
his productions.
"The sculptor has his Ideal, but not
until the marble is turned from his hand
a finished likeness do we see his Ideal.
The music In the soul must be uttered
before it can move the world. The world
has In the mind of Christ the founda
tion of empires. No sorrow moves him
irom nis purpose. On the storm-lifted
waves of Galilee he Is calm, and at his
"Peace, be still,' the winds and the waves
obey. He has not on earth where to lay
his head, but within is the knowledge that
he possesses all things, and that that
within will outlive the wreck of worlds.
He visited the weeping sisters who had
buried a brother and they were no doubt
astonished at his calmness, but he has
tened to the tomb, wept and bade the
dead arise. The responsibility which is
being rolled upon us as a church re
quires that we have in us the mind
which was also in Christ Jesus, the mind
which will enable us to make' sacrifices
for the world. We can never know the
Joys of the philanthropist until we know
his mind and enter into his experiences.
If we have the mind of the Christ there
will be no room for fear. Only victory
awaits us. We are to come in the pos
session of his mind by the way of
prayer, by reading his word and drink
ing in from every stream of knowledge.
If his mind is in us we are rich. And
we may say of riches as Mr. Meigs
Sunday school pupil said of prayer, 'It Is
to get things with.' The world Is tiring
of philosophy; It is waiting for the touch
of sympathy at a price which it can afford
to pay. Christ went about doing good.
He was so full of his mission that his
mighty deeds were performed without
effort. And he taught us to consider how
the lilies grow. In the seed itself, with
the proper environment, is all the po
tency, sufficient to produce this flower of
matchless beauty. Take Into your hearts
and lives his words, which are spirit and
life, and let it dwell In you richly, that
We all may do his will on earth and be
crowned at last with him in heaven."
The Constitution and the Flag:.
Brooklyn Eagle .
Mr. Bryan refers to the Downes case
as likely to arouse as much discussion as
the Dred Scott decision. Indeed! The
Dred Scott decision was to the effect that
"the Constitution follows the flag." The
Downes case is to the effect that the
Constitution does not follow the flag, but
may be sent after it by act of Congress.
Mr. Bryan falls to realize that the Downes
case overrules and reverses the Dred Scott
decision. But "he is not a lawyer, he is
a member of the bar," a distinction with
a tremendous difference.
To invoke an uprising against the
Downes decision is to appeal for a re
affirmation of the Dred Scott decision.
The Nation defied that decision by the
election of Abraham Lincoln, destroyed
it at Appomatox Court house and buried
it beneath the 13th amendment. The
other dav. by means of the Downes case,
the tribunal which had recorded it for
mally expunged it Mr. Bryan's phrenetic
effort to revive it magnifies the genius
of the mun to try the wrong thing at the
wrong time.

Skeletons In Graveyard Bay Con

Blue Flames That They Made.
Lying right under the eyes of the conti
nent's greatest city Is an island, of which
many Manhattanites know next to noth
ln, says a writer in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. It is Long Island.
By that strange ordering of affairs which
makes things near at hand seem ever com
monplace. It has remained unknown. Each
New Yorker has looked beyond for his
wonders, assuming that Long Island, so
close at hand, must be known to every
other than himself, and so, save to those
whom business or pleasure sent thither,
it has remained an unknown land. Yet
about it sandy islands and deep bays cling
tales of buried treasure and sunken ships.
There is a bay set down between two
hills on the northern shore, whose waters
were so deep and which seemed so wild
and isloated that early men of the Gov
ernment chose It for a strange purpose.
They consecrated It a burying place for
departed warships. Old hulks, even of
famous ships, cannot be allowed to drift
upon the sea to knock holes In merchant
vessels, neither has any one been so phil
anthropic as to make a home for old
ships, as they have done for worn-out
sailors. So that when the decrees came
that a frigate or bark or sloop had done
its work it was sent hither, and without
so much as a prayer sunk until the ooze
of the bottom filled the seamo in its worn
out timbers. Here came frigates that had
reeked with catrlot blood In the days
when Independence was won, schooners
that destroyed English commerce In the
Spanish main, and sloops that suppressed
piracy and smuggling In the Carolina
sounds and Florida bayous. Gradually
the bay was filling with the worn-out
makers of history. Here and there a
mast rose above the surface, showing
where a good ship lay, and when the
water was still one might look down upon
the dead ships and feel the ghostly chill
of facing the departed.
There Is a little village just around the
point to eastward, a very small village it
is, where men from the city seldom come,
save now and then In hunting season, and
where the people have talked to each
other about each other, and their sur
roundlngs, until there seems to be no new
thing under the sun. A stranger Is always
welcomed, for he furnishes a topic of
conversation.
One day a sailboat, a sloop-rigged fish
ing boat, drew up to the village and two
men linded. One, It was plain to see,
was a fisherman, captain and owner of
the boat. The other, more pretentiously
dressed, might have been a school teach
er, a country lawyer or a village mer
chant. One thing was evident soon to
the inhabitants of the little town he was
a Yankee. His conversation showed him
to be brother to the captain. They ate
dinner at the little Inn and when that
was over went out to the graveyard of
ships. There they spent the remainder
of the day rowing among the projecting
masts and looking down Into the water
through something which looked to the
native Long Islanders like a speaking
trumpet. Now and then the captain's
brother would make some marks in a
note book, and once they spent half aT
hour sawing away a spar that came
above the surface when the tide was
down. Next morning the boat sailed away
and a week later Captain Hczeklah .Lar
kln confided to his wife that he expected
before the year was out to own the coast
ing vessel which he wanted, but which
had been beyond the limits of his purse.
Hczfklah's brother made It known to his
partner In the liw business that he ex
pected soon to buy the house he wanted
In the city, and rather hoped to have a
country place as well, that the enter
prise which was to yield the necessary
returns was a private deal with his broth
er, the captain. Meanwhile the spar cut
from a warship's rigging was being cut
to the size of stovewood and carefully
dried in the sun and wind of a New Eng
land back yard. When It was dry the two
brothers spent an evening burning It in
a fire place where it cracked and sparkled
with the weirdest and prettiest of colored
flames.
"They're crazy oyer such fires at New
port and all the other swell places," said
the lawyer. "We can have our own price
for all the wood we get out of the old
hulks. We'll be rich, brother, we'll be
rich." Then they drank something to the
success of an enterprise.
There was a consultation a few days
later with a New England Congressman:
then a consultation between that Con
gressman and some one In the Navy De
partment and as a result of which Heze
kiah and Jonathan Larklns became joint
owners of the skeleton ships in Graveyard
Bay, at a sum merely nominal. Again
Captain Lirkln and brother sailed up to
the little village which lies near Grave
yard Bay. This time they had come for
a longer stay. They set about hiring men
and barges. They brought dynamite and
diving suits, saws, axes and grappling
hooks. They had little to say of their
plans, but set to work quietly breaking up
the bones of the old warships. Men de
clared they must be crazy, but as they
paid promptly, there was no trouble to
find laborers. Sloop and bark, schooner
pnd frigate, transport and battle-ship
gave up the oak that once stood so brave
ly against the ocean tempests. Up came
the timbers, and when raised they were
dried till soft crystals formed on them.
Then they were cut into wood and loaded
on little sailing boats that went up and
down the sound.
There are many cities along the Sound
and the coast above, where rich men have
homes. Here in Winter they come some
times to sit about roaring wood fires in
old-fashioned grates and defy the cold
winds which Old Ocean hurls against
them. Here, too, their wives come to give
receptions and teas. These have long
known that certain driftwoods, filled with
the chemicals of ocean, scintillate with
beautiful colored flames. The only prob
lem Is to get' good driftwood, but when
It can "be found big prices are offered,
for matrons vie with one another in the
blueness of their fires when pink teas
are being given. When Fall drew on and
fires became the order It came to be known
among the wealthy ones along the coast
that a certain sea captain had cornered
the sea-soaked wood of all the vessels
ever disposed of by the Navy officials. He
was offering the finest and dryest of oak
saturated during many, many years In
ocean brine. Surely such a thing had
never been heard of before. To think of
burning the dry oak of warships, of sit
ting before a colored flame made by the
ribs and sides and masts of a ship which
won gory battles before the last century
began, wad enough to make the extrava
gant ones wild. The captain could sell
all the wood he had, though It ran to
thousands of cords, and could have his
own price.
V Before Christmas the whole had been
closed out to a speculator, and the can-
! tain had his new vessel. His brother was
closing contracts for his house In town
and a country home. Certain persons
about the Long Island villages heard of
It all and said the Yankees were "lucky."
And along the coast. In the mansions of
the rich, men and women sat by scintil
lating wood fires. They watched the
ever-changing colors, and the shooting
bursts of exploding sea-salt. They saw
towns and battles and faces. Such faces!
Some saw faces of children and angels,
some the faces of men who hated and
fought and made themselves feared.
Some saw, worse still, little diabolical
laces that grinned and mocked, just as
the world had grinned and mocked with
Its' proffered hopes of, blessing and suc
cess. Three New Police Officials.
