'at Unbeliefc.
The moniing service at St. Mark's Epis
copal Church "was a celebration or the
Holy Communion in memory of President
McKinley. The service -was marked -with
solemnity and attended by a large con
legation. The sermon was preached by
Che Rev. J. E. Simpson from the text, St
John xvll:3: "This is the life eternal, that
they might know thee the only God, and
Jesus Christ, -whom thou hast sent."
"If we could only recall a few short
years of history," said the speaker, "we
could find ourselves at a time and in a
home where a "baby born to American
parents' brought joy and thanksgiving to
an American family. If tvc could go back
an even shorter period and place our
selves In a home on the Continent of Eu
rope, we could find another babe, born to
bring happiness and light to a European
house. Two babes, though born at differ
ent dates, fresh from the hand of God.
And yet on a day when both have grown
to man's estate, and after years of op
portunity, they meet, one the President
of these United States, a strong, respect
ed, useful citizen and godly Christian
man. the other an anarchist with murder
In his heart. Was there any difference in
the babes to account for such diversity of
development? We do not believe in the
fatalistic view that one -was born under
a blessing .and the other under a curse;
that one was born with a true and noble,
nature, and the other with perverted and
degraded instincts. We believe that one
of these lives in its advancing and ma
turer years consciously chose to be good
and to do good, and looked to God for
help; and we believe that the other life,
consciously and unconsciously identified
Itself with evil, and made no choice for
God. Believing that the power of choice
lor good or evil, in its ultimate, is free
and uncontrolled, and that man is -wholly
responsible to God for the use or abuse of
it, we must conclude that the one guided
his actions under a constant sense of re
sponsibility to God and man, and that the
other guided his actions on selfish prin
ciples or at the dictation of the impulses
of the moment.
"The late President believed in God, and
possessed a wholesome reverence for an
over-ruling Providence, to whom he was
personally responsible. His murderer re
pudiated God and personal responsibil
ity, leaving himself without a landmark
to guide himself through the mazes of
life, save his own desires. The one is the
logical outcome of faith; the other the
logical outgrowth of unbelief.
"There are conscientious agnostics.
There may be conscientious atheists. But
of one thing I am convinced: the man who
4oes not believe in God Is In a
very dangerous position and has the
seeds of anarchy In his heart. He who
denies the existence of God denies also
any responsibility on our part to a su
preme being. There Is no life beyond the
grave. There is no authoritative stand
ard for human conduct here. The ten
commandments and the golden rule are
simply beautiful ideas drawn from the
Christian myth. There is nothing any
where to bind a man nor to prevent his
doing exactly what he pleases. Why
should we be good or pure or law
obeying, if there is no God and no future
life. This Is the logical position of the
man who does not believe in God, and its
name is anarchy.
"Of all the honors conferred upon. Pres
ident McKinley in life or in death, this
is the highest, that he was permitted in
an eminent way to witness the vitalizing
and ennobling power of a sincere belief
in the mercy and love of God. His
death proves to the world that through
life he knew God and Jesus Christ, 'whom
he has sent and that in very truth
he was a partaker of the life eternal
-while living here on earth. All the
glories of his life and Administration will
in years to come sink into comparative
Insignificance when contrasted with the
Christian influence -which his example in
spired and which his last few days espe-"
dally gave forth.
"We commend him to God's eternal
keeping, in sure and certain hope, look
ing for the general resurrection at the
last day and the life of the world to come.
May he rest in peace."
. -"SOWING AND REAPING'
.Anarchy tlie Result of Free Thought,
Soys Rev. Albyn Esson.
Rev. Albyn Esson, pastor of the Rodney-Avenue
Christian Church, East Side,
preached yesterday morning on "Sowing
and Reaping." His text was from Gal
atlans vi:7. He said in part:
"The thought of this text Is not diffi
cult to comprehend. It reminds us of
the parable of the sower as recorded In
the eighth chapter of Luke's gospel. In
explaining this parable our Lord said that
the seed Is the word of God, the soil the
hearts of men, and incidentally indicated
that the avenue through which the seed
reached the soil Is hearing. This suggests
what Is meant by the term heart in the
Scriptures; but other passages make this
more apparent. We read of thclmagina
tion of man's heart, of the meditation of
the heart that Daniel purposed In his
heart. Ttfe are admonished to seek a
heart of wisdom. The heart is indicated as
the seat of understanding. We also read
that fMary pondered certain things in
her heart. We observe that It is
with the heart that men believes unto
righteousness. The heart, according to
the Scriptures, imagines, meditates, pur
poses, gains wisdom, understands, pon
ders, thinks, believes. But psychology
teaches us that these are all attributes or
functions of the mind. We conclude
then that sowing the seed of the kingdom
was simply imparting the ideas contained
in the -word of God to the minds of men
through preaching the word. This being
the case. It is perfectly natural that our
"Lord's last command should be. 'Preach
the gospel to every creature, make dis
ciples of all the nations.'
"This method of extending the dominion
of Christ on earth is the method ap
proved by the universal experience of
mankind. Every reform, real or imagin
ary, has been carried forward by such
moans. ,
"It is well here to note the relationship
existing between belief and character. I
have heard character defined as ideals
(belief) plus will power, and I regard this
as a good definition. That belief has
nearly everything to do with character
has been Illustrated again and again.
Some cases in point: Saul of Tarsus be
came Paul the Apostle through a change
in belief; a similar change lifted an ob
scure monk to an undying place in his
tory in the person of Martin Luther; the
lives of suffering service which Carey and
udson gave to India were the incarna
tion of their belief concerning the duty
of the church to the heathen world. And
so illustrations might be multiplied indefi
nitely. "As the relationship between belief and
character Is so close, we. as -.citizens of
this Republic and the heavenlyNkingdom,
should be interested In the kind of seed
that is being sown in the hearts of men
today. Looking over our own land and
beholding so much that we can commend,
a people that are in many respects the
salt of the earth and the light of the
world, -we feel that much good seed has
been sown on this soil but it has not been
all good. The murderous hand that strikes
down the Nation's Chief Executive is the
fruit of some sowing. And whence and
where this sowing? We believe that we
are acquainted with two sources whence
this sprung. They are, first, the coming
of a vicious class of foreigners to this
country; and, secondly, too much sympa
thy shown to this class by the American
people and Government. May I suggest a
third contributing source? A systematic
attempt has been made of late to break
down faith in 'our fathers' God, and sub
stitute for It a materialistic philosophy,
which rules God out of the universe and
regards his cognition of man or his pos
sible intervention on his behalf as an
absurdity. This view disposes of man's
accountability to God, andf in my opin
ion, contributes to the forces which pro
duce anarchy and every kindred evil. An
archy finds atheism and agnosticism con
genial soil. I believe human experience
teaches that where there Is no fear of
God there is little regard for man.
"The Bible of the Christian teaches
him to fear God, honor the King, be
subject to the properly constituted insti
tutions of government, and Indicate that
there Is so necessary conflict between his
duties to Caesar and those to God. The
American Government is founded on the
principles of Christianity; so, from a pa
triotic point of view, it is vastly better
policy to sow the 'seed of the kingdom'
here than to spread the doctrine of doubt.
But should policy be considered the full
ness of Christianity's jurisdiction? No;
for the firm foundation of God standeth
sure. The resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead has not yet been read out
of history. By the resurrection Jesus was
proved divine, and the Father placed the
stamp of his approval on all that the Son
had taught. This is assuring to us, for j
it enables us to know that our system
of Government Is not essentially wrong.
Indeed, this revelation of the divine will
enables us to know the fullness of truth
which is able to make us free indeed.
"Concerning this materialistic philoso
phy we may say that it abounds In un
supported, assumptions and unproved hy
potheses. Concessions from its own rep
resentatives showjthat It Is a. suggestlpn
a case not made out. "
"Our text indicates that we are to
reap what we sow. If we wish to
reap in joy, let us sow bountifully the
seed of the kingdom of God, so that fu
ture generations of our countrymen may
sing from the heart:
Our father's God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sins.
Xoiig may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light.
Protect us by they might.
Great God, our King.
"IT IS GOD'S WAY."
Dr. J. R.T. Lathrop Analyzed the
Words of the Dying President.
At the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church the Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop yes
terday morning spoke from the words,
"It is God's Way," basing what he had
to say upon the passage found in first
Corinthians xlv:33 "God Is not the au
thor of confusion." The sermon was a
phllosophyical argument, viewing from
many sides the relation of God to the
problem of evil, and searching for the
meaning which tha dying President must
have had in his mind. It Is not possible
to set forth more than the drift of the
sermon, which was listened to by a very
thoughtful audience. The minister,' after
describing the solemn scene In the room
where the Chief Magistrate lay dying, the
man who was leaving questions, National
and international, solved and unsolved;
questions as pregnant of good or evil as
any which had ever been before the world;
the one man who seemed to be of great
est consequence to the Nation dying, and
that not only at" an epochal hour In the
world's life, v but at the hand of an as-
I sassln; and While dying saying to all
the world: "It is God's way." The min
ister asked: "How could it be God'a way?
How far was the President right? How
far was he wrong?"
"These are questions which lie deep in
philosophy," he said, "and no answer,
perhaps, can be satisfactory to all. It
may he the President had not thought
it through; that it was an expression to
which at the time he gave utterance,
because of hia recognition of a Divine
Mind who superintends all things, and be
cause It had been his lifelong custom
to submit to that will. Very probably
this was the case. For fa was in no
mood to think. He was dying. The analy
tic powers had not taken up the sentence
and traced It through all its ramifications
before he uttered It And if so, it is just
as well. For, the sentence is a reflec
tion of a faith accepted and tried for
many years. Mr. McKinley profoundly
believed in God Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth; and in Jesus Christ, through
whom God is revealed. As a student of
history, and an observer of events not
yet history, he had never departed from
the almlghtiness and all-goodness of God.
Now he was the subject of a diabolical
and mysterious affliction. Perhaps he re
membered Garfield, and Lincoln, and we
know he remembered Christ, and these
words flowed from him: 'It Is God's way.'
"We he right? In what sense? How
far was It God's way?
"To answer such a catalogue of ques
tions, we must flrst posit the fact of
God, and admit him to be such a being
as he is set forth in the Scriptures, al
might, all-good, and all-wise. These
attributes will determine his relation to
all events.
"Being all-good, and all-wise to the same
extent that he is almighty the follow
ing proposition Is true:
"If he Is all-good then is he in no
sense the author of evil. Nor is he any
wise the approver of evil; nor does he
choose evil ways to accomplish his pur
poses. This must be true, otherwise he
himself is evil, and not holy and perfect
as he declares himself to be. Not being
evil, or the approver of evil, he does not
cause murder, or approve of murder, but
condemns it, and says: 'No murderer can
enter the kingdom of heaven.' Upon this
proposition God did not approve, nor
prompt, nor use the assassin Czolgosz.
God had nothing to do with that evil
act, for God is not the author of con
fusion. If he is, he is not God, for he is
not good. This position is invulnerable,
Mr. McKinley did not mean that God
had used the murderer to rid him of the
earth. We know his conception of God
was altogether different from that. -We
have, therefore, reached a most' important
truth, it is this: Evil Is not of God's cre
ation; he hates it; from the first he has
warned against it; he has never ceased
to persuade every soul from it. While this
does not make evil less It makes God more
more to our understanding and affec
tion." Here Dr. Lathrop entered upon a phil
osophical discussion of evil, and the doc
trine of fatalism, and various forms or
Calvinism, and the Arminian conception
of God and man. In discussing the hu
man will he said:
"The human will is sovereign in morals.
It Is endowed with the power of the alter
nate choice, and in the moral domain man
is absolutely sovereign. Not that he can
create moral truth; not that he can create
moral law; not that he can escape con
science or God; not that he has absolute
intellectual or physical sovereignty (for
he has not) but moral sovereignty. That
I is he can choose good or evil, at any
time, and there Is no power to prevent
him. He may not be able to execute his
choice outwardly, because of Intellectual
or physical limitations, but he is sover
eign in the choice. This is the view which
Mr. McKinley's philosophy and theology
would lead him to take of the awful event
in which he was the chief factor had he
that day discoursed upon it, for both in
his theology and philosophy he was Ar
minian. We therefore reach the following
clnclusions:
"First. The assassin was not an instru
ment to execute the will of God. God's
plan is not such as to require the as
sassination method to consummate it. If
the assassin were an instrument, the
man who sold him the firearms, his pa
rents who gave him birth, his coming
to this land, Emma Goldman in lectur
ing before him, and all that despicable
brood, were links In the necessitous chain.
We abhor such a conclusion. Were It
true, then were the assassin not guilty;
then anarchism and anarchists are nec
essitated; then would we have govern
ment and anarchy both existing and nec
essitated, and each necessitated to de
stroy the other. Reason is not muzzled
by such logic.
"If the assassin were an instrument
in God's hands, then is God the assas
sin. If the act is defended either upon
the 'basis' of fatalism or " Calvinism,
then the 'crime is God's, for that which
one Is compelled to do, he is innocent for
the doing. The assassin had the power
of the alternate choice. He chose evil.
It was not God's way, but the assassin's.
"I admit that whatever takes place
does so under Divine Providence, but
that Is quite another thing from saying
that everything which occurs does so with
the Divine sanction. God permits many
things which he does not will, nor desire,
nor approve, and which he curses. Hav
ing made man as he has, and the universe
as It is, for reasons deeper than we have
time to discuss, he permits evil and evil
Institutions and evil men of all kinds.
This Is his way, and in that sense Mr.
McKinley -was right. But while he per
mits things which defeat for the time his
purpose, he has a plan. There is a subline
event toward which all creation moves.
And in the seeming subversion of this
plan for the time by evil and evil spirits,
there are t.wo things which God always
does.
"He gives to his servants sufficiency of
grace In the hour of their trial, and he
makes the deeds of wicked men to praise
him, turning to account that which sought
to overthrow his purpose. This Is God's
way. 'The blood of the martyrs' Is made
to be the seed of the church; and al
ready the world can see what marvelously
purifying and elevating Influences have, by
the power of God, been going forth to
the ends of the earth from the awful
tragedy a tragedy hatched amid the
forces of evil, and executed by a malicious
man; and executed with the power of the
alternate choice in his possession; a trag
edy every vestige of which is contrary
to the will of God, and despicable In
the eyes of all good men. It was God's
way to permit It, to sustain the Presi
dent In the midst of it, and It will be his
way to bring the Nation and the nations,
through his Son, Jesus Christ, to a life
so blessed; that, in the next hour, would
every soul of earth go God's wayt hu
mand life would everywhere succeed', and
evil would cease."

his country, these were the cardinal prin
ciples in Venville's career. He spelt
duty with a large D. His pleasure was
the service of others; his glory the patri.
ot's death. We admire the man who can
stand unquailed amid the turmoil of bat
tle with the bullets flying past him and
his comrades stricken and dying. Ven
ville abundantly proved that he could
do this; but he possessed heroism of a
far higher order. His was the heroism
which prempts men to suffer uncomplain
ingly from day to day for the sake of a
great cause.
"Arthur Venville as a young boy, In the
period of life when most of us are shielded
from responsibility and sorrow, endured
the pinch of biting poverty. His sensitive
spirit braved, the taunts of his school
mates at his meager and unusual cloth
ing in order that he might gain the rudi
ments of learning which were necessary
to fit him for the duties of life and the
privileges of citizenship. He was obliged
to leave school at an early age and work
for a living, but his meager income was
not squandered on pleasure nor even on
comforts for himself; it was given in its
entirety to relieve the burdens of those
he loved. The time came when to all his
other cares was added the great trial of
ill health. About the time of the Span
ish .war he enlisted In the American
Navy. A mere boy of 17, he had at that
age met and endured more trials than
have fallen to the lot of many a man of
'mature years. He was assigned to duty
on the Yorktown, and with others of the
Ybrktown's crew was sent to Baler Bay,
In the Island o fLuzon, to rescue a small
garrison of Spaniards who were besieged
by Filipinos. This expedition was a work
of mercy in keeping with the life and
spirit of our young subaltern. I have
rea'd with deep interest the story told by
his superior officer, Lieutenant-Commander
Gillmore."
Mr. McCamant "repeated the story as
published, and continued:
"Sick and wounded, Venville was left
In the hands of the savages at Baler Bay.
His comrades were hurried off and after
thrilling experiences of adventure for a
period of eight months, they were finally
rescued, but his lot was less fortunate.
"The meager evidence which has been
gathered together as to his fate indi
cates that he lived for nearly a year after
the action at Baler Bay, but that he was
finally put to death by order of Novlclo,
an insurgent General. This is his story
It Is touching in Its pathos, and it has Its
side lights on which we may not linger.
Such, for example, Is the anxiety of his
poor mother, awaiting through those
weary months tidings of her boy, hoping
against hope, unwilling to believe that
she was never again to see the face so
dearly loved.
"There seems to be a dispensation of
Providence, or perhaps I should say, a
rule of fate, that the path of progress
must he ever baptized with the blood of
the brave and the true. Without the shed
ding of blood there is no remission. This
is the law of progress and the story of
the ages.
"With the great body of sufferers whose
lot It Is to prove their fidelity by their
endurance. Arthur Venville takes his
stand.
"I am of the opinion that American con
trol of the Philippines will bring with It
great blessings to America and to the
world. The influence of the great republic
in the Orient will make for higher ideals,
for larger opportunities, for a loftier
type of manhood and womanhood than
that which has been there evolved in the
past. It will mean a broader sphere of
vision, enlarged usefulness to Americans
at home. When we seek to give credit to
those to whom credit Is due for these
I blessings, we do well to honor Admiral
Dewey, General Otis, General Anderson,
General Summers and the army of brave
men and true whose victories over Span
ards and over Insurgents have made
American occupation possible. We do
well to honor the memory of General
Lawton and the heroes like him who were
slain in battle beneath the flag of the
Republic. But let us remember that the
sacrifices demanded were paid more large

that of the soldier who Is slain in battle.
Wounded and sick and captive, during
the last year of his life, he probably did
not see the face of a single son of his
native country or of the race from which
he sprung. Taunted, abused, insulted,
cruelly entreated, he was denied the sym
pathy of women which makes all trouble
easy to bear. Amid all these trials his
faith never faltered and there was never
a time when he considered for an instant
the propriety of winning his freedom by
serving in the ranks of those who were
fighting the armies of his country: his
faith and his patriotism came out tri
umphant in every conflict. Murdered at
last, in violation of the laws of war, he
sealed with his blood a life which had
known little but self-sacrifice and the
service of others. Can such a life he
called a failure? Hear what the 'poet has
said:
I sing the hymn of tho conquered, who fell In
the battle of life
The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who
died overwhelmed In the atrlfe;
Not the Jubilant song of the victors, for whom
the resounding acclaim
Of nations was lifted In chorus, whose brows
wore the chaplet of fame.
But the hymn of the low and the humble, the
weary, the broken In heart.
"Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a
silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on Its branches,
whose hones burned In ashes away.
From whose hands slipped the prize they had
grasped at, who stood at the dying of day
With the wreck of their life all around them,
unpltted, unheeded, alone,
"With death swooping down o'er their failure,
and all but their faith overthrown.
While the voice of the world shouts Its chorus
Its paean for those who have won.
While the trumpet Is sounding triumphant,
and high to the breeze and the sun
Glad banners are waving, hands clapping and
hurrying feet
Thronging after the laurel-crowned victors, I
stand on the field of defeat,
In the shadow, with thosa who are fallen and
. wounded and dying, and there
Chant a requiem low, place my hand on their
pain-knotted brows, breathe a prayer.
Hold the hand that Is helpless, and whisper:
"They only the victory win
Who have fought the good flght and have van
quished the demon that tempts us within;
Who have held to their faith unseduced by the
prize that the world holds on high;
Who have dared for a high cause to suffer, re
sist, flgt if need be to die."

soul of this brave mother, have been

devotion the country for which Venville
died. As we recall the burdens he un
complainingly bore, may our hearts be
lighter and our shoulders stronger to
carry the trials imposed on us."
Unveiling? the Monument.
The entire congregation proceeded to
Milwaukle cemetery to dedicate the mon
ument erected with money contributed by
Portland people as a reward for the res
cue of young Venville. It is a plain mar
ble shaft on a granite base, the whole
being about six feet high. The Inscrip
tion gives the date of his birth, which
was January 8, 1SS1, and also the words:
"We know not where his body lies, but we
do know that his spirit is with his God."
An American flag completely concealed the
monument. After music by the pupils of
the Sellwood public school, J. E. Reinke
and Professor E. D. Curtis pulled the flag
to one side, displaying the monument.
Then Mrs. Mash, the mother of the boy,
silently decorated the granite base, while
the assembled people watched with sym
pathetic interest. Mrs. June McMillen
Ordway, whose son was the flrst Oregon
boy to lose his life In the Philippine
Islands, stepped forward and placed a
beautiful wreath of laurel over tlie mon
ument as her tribute. Other beautiful
tributes were then heaped about the base.
Rev. W. S. Gilbert, who was chaplain
of the Second Oregon, delivered a touch
ing address. He said In part: "I remem
ber when the soldiers I was with captured
San Jose that we came to the dungeon
In which the captives of the Gillmore
party had been confined. Their names
had been Inscribed on the walls, and un
der the floor we found a diary contain
ing a description of their sufferings. It
told of their marches and treatment, and
urged that if the record be found that
every effort be made to rescue them. The
soldiers tore the prison Into pieces. Ven
ville, I presume, had been there.
"We are to dedicate this monument to
the memory of this hero boy, who had
been a hero in the common walks of life,
and who gave his life for his country.
I would dedicate it to patriotism because
of the devotion of Venville to hia country;
to his high character as a Christian boy,
as a boy of noble parts, noble Impulses
and unselfish motives; and to the larger

"It Is a crime to experiment with the health of the people," say3 Dr. J.
Henri Kessler, manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. "If
I did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment
will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods of treatment
fail, I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement
to the public. Nothing is so precious to a man as his health nothing so
horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little Ills, if not promptly
cured, often result In obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis
covery is the most marvelous treatment ever known, and I Intend to glvo
Its benefit to the world. I Intend that every man, woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have it. I propose to tell the sick, absolutely
free of charge, if they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather
be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Croseus."
The above are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kessler, and
have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness.
