ROBERT M'LEAN'S SERMON Prominent Ministers Assist n the gejrrlces Stations of the Cross In St. Laarenoe Catholic Church v Are Consecrated. The Third Presbyterian Church, East Thirteenth and East Pine streets, was dedicated yesterday afternoon In the presence of a great congregation made VP of members of the local church and ptber churches throughout the city. On the platform were Rev. Robert McLean, retiring pastor; Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. p., presiding elder, Portland district. Methodist church; Rev. J. R. X. Bell, Baker City; .Rev. S. C Eller, of Moro, Eastern Oregon; Rev. Jerome .McGlade, Mlzpah Presbyterian; Rev. A. A. Hurd, Fulton Presbyterian; Rev. E. M. Sharp, Jtfount Tabor; Rev. B. T. Allen, First Church; Rev. J. F. Ghormley, vice-president Portland Ministerial Association and pastor First Christian Church: Rev. "W, S. Wright, Sellwood; Rev. William Travis; Rev. William Coleman, Penn sylvania. It was necessary to bring in chairs to accommodate the congregation. The pulpit platform was decorated at tractively wjtb gc-ldenrod and yellow mar guerites. . ThiKchurch is finished, except the pewfijfwhftjlf have been ordered from the East and fil arrive in about a month. v' ? Rev. Robert McLean conducted the ser vices and delivered the dedicatory ser mon. He was assisted by Rev. Jerome McGlade, Rov. William Travis, Rev. E. M. Sharp vand other ministers pres ent. The choir -rendered excellent music Dedicatory Sermon. The sermon which was delivered by Rev. Robert McLean was based upon the text Hebrews vlli:5, approprlato to the dedicatory- services. He said, in part: "If I were to follow my own wishes, Eome one else would havo preached this permon. On the -eve of my departure to another fleld, my heart is too full, and yet I rejoice that I am allowed to finish my work here,, by speaking a-t this dedi cation. We cannot do better than to go back to the first church and see what God's church should be. Those people had vague notions concerning. They were permeated with idolatry. God first taught them how properly to approach him in a deeply reverent manner, and then to build a house toward which all might turn. It was the holy of holies and in the center was placed the law, brought by Moses from the -mountain-top of Sinai. This was God's perfect plan, carried out without deviation by Moecs. Thus the church, the tabernacle, was bullded according to plan in all Its beauty and perfection, and out of their poverty, pod called upon his people to sacrifice heir silver and tapestry for its adorn ment There Is no worship without sac rifice; every step is toward the holy of holies, where God's law la kept. Can we have ft church and not obey its law? In this law mercy and truth meet together and righteousness and peace are there. J,The temple of wood, or brick, or stone is but the place where God reveals him self to vlb and shows us his power and love In all their magnitude. The church Is the leader in every movement of righteousness. Tet the church is not ?no.ufih, Jjor, the .presence of the ark, for there Is something more necessary. Even itgGoa be right in our midst there is no victory without clean hands and a pure heart. Neither will God bless his people unless they enter his house with rever ence. And, again, the church is In great spiritual danger If the people enter and look upon the ark of God with curiosity and not reverence. "We have come to dedicate this visible house to his service. Upon the altar wo kindle a lire, the fire of true devotion. This is a new epoch in your church life, and remember to make Christ the ark and center o your work. It rests with you whether the people are saved by knowledge of Christ's gospel or not. Hold the pulpit, then, In this building which you dedicate today, to the gospel of Christ and not to the gospel of popular ity." The church was then dedicated by Ministers McLean, William Travis and A. A. Hurd. Remarks by Clerrryinen. Rev. Mr. McLean then called upon visiting clergymen for remarks. Dr. L. E. Rockwell, presiding elder of the Meth odist church, Portland District; Rev. J. F. Ghormloy, of the First" Christian Church; Rev. W. Wellman, of Pennsyl vania, and Rev. Mr. Elder and Rev. J. R. N. Bell, of Eastern Oregon, made congratulatory remarks. Rev. E. T. Allen, assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, spoke a few words upon the assistance rendered the Third Church in the way of funds for the building. He said: "We do not live" for ourselves alone, but for our friends and all humanity. What the First Presbyterian Church did for you was a benefit to themselves and re bounded bac.k to the doers. Tou have worked diligently and the honor belongs to you. You are not rejoicing alone, for yre are all glad and happy that you are bo comfortably housed." Mr. McLean spoke of the aid of the First Church and the Calvary Presby terian Church in the erection of the new edifice, and said it was appreciated. After the services half an hour whs spent by the congregation' admiring the new structure. The ICew Church. The new Third Presbyterian Church occupies the southeast corner quarter of East Thirteenth and East Pine streets, and is in a beautiful and central loca tion. The old church stood on a single lot on East Ninth and East Oak streets. When the new structure is finished com pletely and furnished, the building will represent an outlay of ?9500. All the obligations have been provided for. There Is a debt due tho Church Erection So ciety, but this is not regarded in the nature of a debt. Plans for this church provided for ..the union of the old build ing with Ahe jnew, all of which havo been earned o.uL The old portion was moved to. 3e?&uth side of the quarter and the newjait put up on the corner. It has one or uiO finest auditoriums of any church lfc&he city. The celling and roof are flnlnga In the natural wood. The roof .supported by delicate trusses. The windows jr; all of handsome cathed ral glass. pA'ne west side Is tho beau tiful memorial 'Window put In by the Christian Endeavor Society. In the front the large cathedral glass admits the light in a subdued form. Ventilation Is ex cellent. The acoustics are good, and every speaker can be easily heard when speaking In a low tone of voice. The pulpit platform Is at the south end cf the auditorium, and by lifting doors the Sunday school room In the back south end can be made a part of the main auditorium. By throwing open the fold ing doors on the west side an audience of 1000 can be accommodated. Entrance is from tho northwest corner through large vestibules, and also at the northeast corner. A beautiful carpet of appropriate pattern covers the whole of the floor of the auditorium, Green vel vet curtains were hung from the pulpit platform railing. Finishing and furnl tqre -harmonize throughout with a pleas ing effect. Last Nfsjht's Services, Tho closing service under charge of Mr, McLean pastorate was h.eld Jaat night, and was. of a patriotic nature. Sumner Post and Sumner Woman's Re lief Corps marched from their hall to the church, where the members were pro vided, with seats n the body of the church. Mr. McLean spoke to them, In a. feeling. manner, apd at the close-, the comrades went forward and bade him -farewell. DEDICATION AT ST. LAURENCE. Stations of the Cross Arc Consecrated In Appropriated Exercises. The new stations of the cross in St. Lau rence Catholic Church were dedicated with appropriated ceremonies yesterday after noon. The Rev. Father Lambert conduct ed tho services, and he was assisted by the Rev. Fathers T, F. CMalley and P. T. Colopy. Quite a large number of people attended the services. . The dedicatory' sermon was delivered by Father Lambert, who took the life of tho Savior aa his subject. He spoke of Che lessons taught by the sufferings of Christ, and of the devotion, humility and heroism depicted in the statuary. Each station represented a mark In the path of Chris tianity and in the suffering of Jesus. After the sermon a procession composed of the officiating priests and 15 acolytes moved down the center aisle, and each of the stations was blessed by Father Lam bert. When the ceremony was concluded the three altars were illuminated by about 100 miniature electric lamps and candles and benediction given. The now stations are considered the fin est specimens of religious statuary on the Pacific Coast. They were made in France at a cost of $2000, and the only other sta tions that approach them in tho North west are those of the cathedral, which were erected a few years ago. A lecture by Father Lambert on "Woman In Society," and a concert by the church choir, under the direction of Choirmaster N. C. Zan, were given In the evening at 8 o'clock. There was a large attendance. Two choruses were ex cellently sung by the choir, the "Gloria" from Mozart's 12th mass, and the anthem, "Praise Ye the Lord," Gounod. In the former selection the sopranos bore off the chief honors, and deserve credit for tho precision in the long-sustained high G. Three solos were eung. Mrs. Olga Lang sang Frances Allltsen's "Like as a Heart Desireth." She displayed a mellow, deep contralto, and her enunciation was good. Miss Elizabeth Harwas. a young .singer, rendered Gounod's "Hold Thou My Hand." and she has a soprano of much promise and volume. N. C. Zan, baritone, gave TONNAGE EN ROUTE AND IN PORT, Vessels Chartere'cJ or Available for Grain Cargoes, From the Northwest. : - ' " ' FOR PORTLAND- Flag and rig. Name. Jan.

The text was, "And even the hairs of our heads are all numbered." Bishop Thoburn dwelt at some length on the way in which the Lord cared for his people while on earth, and also made a few remarks about some of his experi ences, while doing missionary work In In dia, He has spent the major portion of tho last 40 years In this region, and has" seen the work of converting the natives Increase from a small beginning to a body j with over H0,000 members at the present time. .Dust at Terminal Grounds. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 15. (To tho Editor.) Aa touching that "Consumption Factory," owned and run by the Terminal B, of which mention was made In your paper some days since at the present writing a grocery wagon standing at the corner Is enveloped In a cloud so dense as to be almost invisible two blocks away. That wagon contains food which will presently be distributed among the families who deal with Its owner. Yesterday two ladles, who were paesing by, found it necessary to put up their umbrellas to shield themselves from the dust that was simply streaming from the platform. These are facts which can be -verified by anyone -who dwells or works In the vicinity and can be witnessed dally, al most hourly, by any member of the Board of Health or of the Civic Improvement Society, who can spare sufficient time to investigate. This la one of the duties for which those men were elected, and which they one and all presumably promised to perform. A TOILER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. RECREATION.

S Professor Young? on the Purposes and Work Preliminary to the Holding: of the Exposition. EUGENE, Or... Aug. 16. To the Editor.) I take it that It is opportune during this lull In the progress of the organization of the Lewju and Clark Centennial to point out where lies the main fund of Its cap ital a fund that must be utilized If the undertaking Is to attain any large meas ure of success. Local subscription funds and legislative appropriations are abso lutely essential sources from which to equip the Exposition, and most gratifying has been the success In these directions thus far. But the main fountain-head, which 13 to be drawn upon both for cash and for genulno enthusiasm. Is the his toric greatness of the occasion for the celebration. In making up funds through local subscription and legislative appropri ations the appeal is mainly to the hope of Immediate returns from the Exposition. An appeal for local subscriptions Is neces sary, too, in order to get an exposition agency Into legal embodiment. But tho Lewis and Clark Centennial Corporation, though absolutely essential and highly de serving. Is only an agent. The real ppirit and life of the centennial movement must be found elsewhere. And no centennial observance can be a grand success unless the main appeal Is to the main interest. Tho main interest celebrated In the pro posed centennial is thq Interest of this Nation in the American occupation of the Pacific Coast an event which, according to highest authority, was "not only the greatest In American hlptory. but ono of the great events of all history." Time for Action at Hand. Now (hat Portland has pledged a sub stantial s'um, and it is pretty well estab lished that Oregon and the Pacific North west will act as Immediate sponsors for the creditable observance of the anniver sary, it is high tlmo that recourse was had to the distinctive purpose of the cele bration and its main fund of capital devel oped. We have matchless scenic attrac tions and, grand natural resources, but these do not lend themselves to exposition display and cannot be converted Into ex position cash; we have creditable and even Impressive evidences- of Industrial progress to exhibit, but nothing so remarkable as to suffice ua as our main stay. Omaha had the magnificent development of the great expanse of the trans-MlssIsstppl re gion to exploit. Buffalo-had the wonderful advance In electrical and mechanical In vention of the last decade to draw upon and the power of Niagara to brlpg It out. Charleston could bank on the new rela tions with the rich West Indian region for her main, attraction, But with our posi tion In the procession of expositions, Jf we' "have anything strong and unique In our occasion, it behooves us to utilize it and to show our hand Immediately. During the last IS months we have been admonished time and again by visitors who had experience and discernment In these matters to place our main reliance upon our vantage-ground of history, to bank upon the National sentiment associ ated with the occasion. To see how thor oughly the EaBt Is aroused to an apprecia tion of tho momentous train of events that issued and that are to Issue from the Lewis and Clark expedition, we havo but to note how the presses of the country are crowded with editions of accounts of that expedition. At least four are In press now, or are about to go to press. Two came out less than a year ago. Matter of Natlonnl Concern, Truly, the celebration of tho centenary of tho Lewis and Clark expedition is al together a matter of National concern. If wo prqeeed wisely la, this matter our main appeal will be to the Nation at large and to Congress, its representative, and If our plans are becoming to the oc casion the response will not be stinted In Its measure. The foremost demand of the occasion Is for a grand memorial to com memorate tho services of all who partici pated in the winning of the Pacific North west to this Nation a manorial that would give room and recognition to every leading spirit from Thomas Jefferson, the far-seeing, ardent and persistent promo ter of the first exploration, down to the lowliest patriot and citizen whose achieve ments were really historic. It is this historical basis of the exposi tion that should be utilized as Its main capital, and as Its keynote. It Is to be UBed with Congrera, with the people of the East, but not less with the people at home. With Congress, this capital can be converted Into an imposing and an in calculably useful memorial building, with the people of the East It will give pres tige that will draw them strongly toward us, and at home in the Paolflc'Northwest It will raise the spirit of our community life from one that seeks solely the com paratively unprofitable Immediate returns to ono that Is duly concerned with the larger, more profitable and far-reaching outoome. And withal, it will equip an in stitution that will become the most po tent agency for the future highest devel opment of the Pacific Northwest. A Sacred Duty. Tho exploitation of this capital of his tory is not merely an opportunity for the managers of the exposition; It Is their ono sacred duty. It Is that for- which the exposition was organized and which Is essential for the true celebration of the centennial anniversary. A failure to cen ter the plans around the historic signifi cance of the occasion In the observance of the centennial anniversary would be a desecration of the occasion and a virtual forfeiture of our prloeless heritage. The plan by which the Exposition can be held true to Its purpose and recom mend Itself to the people. East and West, and to Congress, and thus realize on its capital, is to make its Jeading request of Congress one for a specific appropriation for a Lewis and Clark memorial building, adapted to serve as a historical library, gallery and museum. A xnonument in that form would be lasting and impres sive, and, above all, edifying and Instruct ive. An Institution thus founded would extol the achievements not only of Lewis and Clark, but also those of all other dis coverers, explorers and pioneers, who won the Pacific Northwest for this Nation, and would inspire noble and patriotic service for all time. Congress has already converted a long list of battle-fields Into National parks and Is continuing this work of creating memorials. Why should it not undertake a memoriaUbulldlng for the commemora tion of a movement that made us an "ocean-bonnd" Republic and four-sguare to the world? There Is a direct prece dent for an appropriation by Congress for a memorial of the Lewis and Clark ex pedition, or rather the first Installment of such on appropriation was made a few yeara ago, when S5CO0 was appropriated by Congress toward a monument at Sioux City, In., for Charles Floyd, a Sergeant with the Lewis and Clark expedition on Its way as far out as that point on the Mis souri. Congress could have no fear in building a Lewis and Clark memorial on the score of its creating a dangerous and obnoxious precedent, for no other portion of the National domain was won by discovery, exploration and settlement as was the "Old Oregon Country." All other Import ant acquisitions of territory were by pur chase. The Pacific Northwest was won solely by patriotic achievement, a National memorial of which Is due, and tho Lewis and Clark Centennial is Just the occasion for rcallzlnc It. Idea Is Generally Seconded. Publicists and historians the country over, -conversant with the bearings of this matjer. ncaruiy secona mis Idea, They would not only petition their respective Congressional delegations for favorable action on it, but would also inculcate the highest respect fof tho people promoting sueh a worthy undertaking. However meager might be the features of our ex position as compared to those of the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition, it would be more than redeemed In the eyes of the world and win appreciative comment from first to last in the press of the country. A National memorial In the form of a library building would have initial utili zation as the fine arts building of the Ex position, and would become the perma nent depository of the library and collec tions of the 'Oregon Historical Society, which would be rapidly enlarged through the assurance of such a fireproof reposi tory. And the existence of a memorial history building would surely result In drawing Into It all Important collections of Pacific Coast history extant. An Institution thus built up would serve this Pacific Northwest as a statistical bureau and as a library and historical center, It would collect and systematize the data necessary to organize progress in all lines, and constitute an agenoy as es sential and potent for the present and fu ture development of this region as wore the explorers and pioneers in their day. 3uch a recognition of the history of the Pacific Northwest would appeal to and touch the people for an awakening to the higher elements of a civilization as noth ing else coujd do. There Is capital In mak ing a historical memorial the watch word of the proposed Exposition not merely In the response It would evoke from the Nation at large and from Con gress, but also and more In the enthusi asm Jt would engender in the people of tho Pacific Northwest, raising them to larger and higher things. To plan the centennial observance on the historical basis would be to cast the same momentous line of advantage Into the future that Thomas Jefferson did when he organized the Lewis and Clark exposition and purchased Loulslnna. A plan of this kind would appeal to the head and heart of President Roosevelt, the au thor of "The Wlnnlns of the West," and eecuro from him. If anything could, a stirring commendation of the project to Congress n his annuel message. Plan the celebration of the centennial anniver sary In the same broad-minded, far-seeing and strong-hearted spirit that Jeffer son, Lewis and Clark and the missionaries and pioneers exhibited in winning the Oregon Country. F. G. YOUNG. River Driver Drowned. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 17. (Speclal.)-Frank Klrkland, about 21 years of age, was drowned In the Willamette River yester day afternoon near the A. D. Hyland place. Klrkland, with five other men, was engaged In running shingle-bolts for the Springfield shingle mill. A number of bolts had stopped In an eddy, and Klrk land waded out to free them. He waded beyond his depth and was taken down. His calls were heard by his companions, who went to his rescue, but the body had sunk before the boat arrived, and it was several minutes before It was recovered. The men tried every means, known to them In an effort to restore respiration, but without avail. The body was taken to Springfield.
