What Dr. E. Ij. House Belle-res.
He believes the Bible Is the Word of
God, but does not accept any one the
ory of Inspiration to the entire exclu
elon of others. The message of the
eacred writers was colored by the pe
culiarities of the age and the authors.
The Bible does not claim to be free
from mistakes, he says:
He believes In the atonement of sins
by the death of Christ.
He believes In the doctrine of the
Holy Spirit, as the third person of the
Trinity.
He believes In tho oneness of believ
ers, whatever denomination they may
belong- to.
He belleves.in prayer.
He cays the Sabbath should be a day
of worship.
He believes In a future life, the resur
rection of the dead, and the day of
judgment.
To those "who ask whether infants
and the heathen will be eternally
damned, he answers, "Shall not the
Judge of all the earth do right?"
He cays if there are errors in Scrip
ture, let us readjust our creeds..
The first installation of a .pastor of a
Congregational church which has oc
curred In Oregon for 45 years took place
yesterday when the Rev. Edwin Lincoln
House was installed asjmstor of the First
Congregational Church.
The salary of Dr. House will be $3000 a
'year, with a vacation of four weeks, and
the position is to be held by him indefi
nitely, the contract helng terminable at
the instance of either the congregation or
himself by giving a notice of three months.
Previous to the ceremony Dr. House was
asked to state his religious belief, and
the members of the congregation at the
ecclesiastical council which had been
called together for the occasion were in
vited to ask the candidate any questions
as to his creed which they might think
advisable or necessaryA The statement of
his faith, however, which Dr. House made
to the assemblage was so complete and ex
haustive that when the moderator an
nounced that any one who so desired
might now question the candidate, no
one arose, and Dr. House was not cate
chised. "After the lucid explanation of his theo
logical belief that Dr. House has made
to us," said Dr. McLean, "it seems al
most impertinent to ask for any further
information as to his creed."
For nearly a year Dr. House has been
acting as pastor of the First Church, one
of the largest and wealthiest congrega
tions in the city. His service proved most
acceptable, and in January last It was
decided to invite him to accept the posi
tion permanently. Upon his favorable
consideration of the proposal prepara
tions were commenced for his official In
stallation, and the following letter was
oint to all Congregational churches of this
Btate, to some of those in "Washington and
California, and to a number of eminent
pastors of the creed as individuals:
Dear Brethren: The great head of the
church has kindly united us and the con
gregation statedly worshiping with us In
the choice of Rev. Edwin Lincoln House.
D. D., to be our pastor and teacher, and
he has accepted our Invitation to that
office, subject to the advice of council:
we, therefore, affectionately request your
attendance, by your pastor and a delegate,
in ecclesiastical council, at our house of
worship in this place on Thursday, the
seventh day of May next, at 3:30 o'clock
P. M., to examine the candidate, review
our proceedings and advise us in reference
to the same; and if judged expedient, to
assist in the installation service. "Wish
ing you grace, mercy and peace, we are
fraternally yours,

Thirty-Two Churches Represented.
In response to this invitation S2 churches
out of the 43 Invited were represented at
the ecclesiastical council yesterday either
by pastor, lay delegate or both. The
churches which in this way answered to
the roll call were as follows:

Among the leaders of the church who
were present were: Rev. A. H. Bradford,
D. D.; Rev. J. K. McLean, D. D.; Pro
fessor C. S. Nash; President S. B. L.
Penrose, Principal H. L. Bates. Rev. C.
F. Clapp, Rev. Howard N. Brldgman and
Rev. T. Eaton Clapp, D. D.
Tne council was called to order yester
day afternoon by Rev. D. B. Gray. The
roll of churches was called, and a quo
rum found to be present.
Dr. J. K. McLean, president of the Pa
clflc Theological Seminary at Berkeley,
m CaL, was chosen moderator, there being
no other nominations, and Rev. C- E,
Chase, pastor of the Hassalo-Street
Church, was elected scribe. After the
reading of a passage of Scripture. Dr.
McLean announced that the proceedings
of the church by which Dr. House had
been, called to the pastorate of the First
Church would be reviewed.
C H. Gaylord, clerk of the church;
thereupon read the resolution of the con
gregation, the letter from the church to
the society, or hoard of the creed in Ore
gon, asking that the approval of the
church at large be given to this move,
the letter extending the invitation to Dr.
House, and his reply thereto, which lat
ter was dated March 29.
The credentials of the pastor-elect were
then called for, and Dr. House respond
.d by handing to the scribe for public
reading a set of resolutions adopted by
the Free Evangelical Church, of Provi
dence, R. J., expressing the highest ap
preciation of his work In that field and
the keenest .possible regret at being un
able to offer him sufficient inducements
to remain. Of his enthusiastic devotion
to his pastoral duties the resolution spoke
In terms both lengthy and eulogistic.
Other papers, such as letters recommend
ing him for membership in the Minister
ial Association of Oregon and his ordina
tion papers, -were also presented. It was
moved and carried that the credentials
be accepted without further question.
"It has been suggested," said the mod
erator, after some further discussion,
"that the candidate make at this time a
statement of his theological belief." And
in response Dr. House detailed to the
council, his belief in the vital points of
the creed of the, church.
His Mind Receptive.
"I would not have you suppose." said
Dr. House, as he faced the assemblage,
"that I look upon 'the brief outline I
shall make of my belief as its final form,
for our creed must always be -kept open
for revision. There must be room for
growth. Our minds must always be In
that attitude of intellectual hospitality
which enables a growing soul to receive
the fresh light which dally breaks forth
from the word of God."
Dr. House prefaced his theological dis
course by saying that he always felt that
his theological experience dated from the
time when, at the age of 2, his father, re
turning wounded from the Civil "War, had,
dedicated him to the service of God.
"But in my early youth," said Dr.

FORMALLY INSTALLED AS PASTOR OF THE FIRST CONGREGA
TIONAL CHURCH.
House, "I came under the influence of an
unbeliever, a skeptic. Little by little I
fell away from the Christian faith, until
one evening I attended a religious meet
ing out of curiosity. Before its close I
felt that I had once more been called
back into the fold, and resolved to lead
a Christian life, although I had at that
time no thought of entering the ministry.
Later I 6tudled theology with my pastor.
and some years afterwards refused to en
ter a business partnership that was of
fered to me, feeling that I was Indeed
called to preach the gospeL"
in speaking of his creed, Dr. House said
in part:
My theology starts with a deep and
personal conviction of the reality of sin.
I found that, as the first fact in my own
heart, and as I had never committed any
nagrant transgression, I could not but feel
that tne sin which was so real to me must
in the nature of the case occupy a similar
position in the hearts of other men. There-
tore, tne conviction or universal sin is
the starting point of my doctrinal views.
So while I believe man was created in the
image of God, he has, with entire freedom
of will, in fact if not of necessity, sinned.
"with this as my starting point I nat
urally turn to the Bible for light The
Bible Is theword of God, the only perfect
rule or raitn ana practice. Tne crediDility
of the Bible Is proven iby various consid
erations, as Its unity, its lofty spirit har
monizing with the sublimity of its prophe
cies and their historic fulfillment; the
candor and simplicity of its writers, their
information as to facts, their faith in what
they wrote proven by the severest tests
and the life-giving effects wrought in the
world bv cneir worcs.
Essentials Remain the Same.
Tho essentials of our faith remain the
same in every age and clime. Tho root
principles and fundamental doctrines of
the Bible are what they always have
been. The wickedness of man; the love of
God in nhrist; the power of the holy
spirit; the immortality of the soul; the
atonement made for sin on Calvary,
through which alone may come salvation
to the lost; the punishment of all unbe
lievers these are mountain peaks; and the
passage of thunder through the air can
not move them an inch. "Clouds may set
tle around them, tempests search their
sides, lijrbtnlnss scar their surface and
fires girdle their slopes; but neither cloud
nor storm, neither lightning nor the fierce
ness of many fires, can ever remove them
from the landscape of divine truth. For
ages they have stood, and for stfl ages they
will stand, outlined In grandeur, their vast
proportions brought into bold relief
against the background of the eternal
world."
His Views on the Bible.
Although I accept tho Bible as the
word of God, I cannot say that I accept
anv one theory of inspiration to the entire
exclusion of every other theory. The Bi
ble interprets God to humanity. It Is the
inspired unveiling of his character. The
sacred writers could not have been left
to themselves, to their own unaided wis
dom. In producing a book which has
wrought such mighty changes In the
world. They must have been guided Into
the truth. They must have been guarded
from error prejudicial to the aim of God
In giving the book. The Inspiration in
most Instances was rather the attending
and moving power of the holy spirit than
the mechanical process of using prophets
and apostles merely as unconscious trans
mitters of the divine message. They were
not mere amanuenses. God filled their
hearts full of truth, and their minds fufl
of ilght and then through these men came
the divine, unsullied message; yet a mes
sage colored by the peculiarities of the age
and the authors, who lost no tittle of their
personality when they became a medium
between God and man.
The Bible Is not a text-book on geology
or astronomy or sociology. It does not pre
tend to be. it alleges no tiue to infalli
bility. It does not claim to be free from
mistakes. The Bible speaks to us In the
language of the time, to teach us about
God. about ourselves, about duty, and
most of all about Jesus Christ as the only
way to heaven. The only science it teaches
Is the science of salvation, and the only
art the art of holiness.
Doctrine of the Atonement.
The atonement originated in the love of
God. He meant to establish his kingdom
In this sinful world. But sin stood in the
way of this end of his plan and works.
The establishment of the kingdom Is Im
possible without the restoration of sin
ners. The first step toward complete Sal
vation Is forgiveness. The door to the
kingdom is reconciliation. But God is not
merely love. God cannot with due regard
to his own holiness pardon the sinner cut
tf hand; atonement must be made .for his
sin. Yet the sinner cannot make atone-
ment for himself. He is ot"only gullty
but helpless. He cannot take the first
step toward righting the wrong he has
done to God. He has nothing to offer. God
as an atonement. And so Christ died
for us.
Defects of Other Theerles.
The matter with the larger number of
the theories of the atonement Is, not that
they are wholly wrong, but that they are
only partly light. But partly right, they
surely are; for they hold In them an ele
ment of truth indispensable to a clear and
complete view of the significance of the
cross.
The theory that Christ was a martyr
the noblest one who ever surrendered his
life to the cause of humanity, but yet
only a martyr and that his redemptive
efficiency lies in the example of his lidel
ity to conscience, has a measure of truth
in it, and so is of some value.
The moral Influence theory, in which It
is denied that tho sufferings of Christ
were necessary to the removal of obsta
cles to the pardon of sin existing In the
divine mind, but only to the removal of
obstacles in the mind of the sinner, holds
in it a ground of appeal which Is of great
worth.
The governmental theory, In which It Is
insisted that the government of the uni
verse cannot be maintained, and law pre
served In its authority, unless the pardon
of offenses Is accompanied by some ex
hibition of .the high estimate which God
sets upon the moral order and the impor
tance of securing and keeping moral order
by magnifying the sacredness of every or
dinance he has established and every com
mandment he has imposed, has a support
in the nature of things, but even this
theory does not go far enough.
"Well has one of our best thinkers said:
"Theories of the atonement will vary. It
remains for us to proclaim the" fact. I be-
HOUSE
lleve that the true and effective way of
preaching it Is to preach Christ as God
Incarnate.'and Christ crucified, as gather
ing mysteriously and wonderfully all the
sin and sorrow and wickedness and mis
ery of the universe upon his divine shoul
der, and in modes more numerous than we
can tell, more mysterious than we can
fathom, bearing them all always, so that
as a. barrier between God and man they
shall be no more, forever.
"Thus does Christ emphasize the wrong
of sin, condemns it and yet expiates it and
shows love available for all and triumph
ant over evil."
Believes In the Holy Spirit.
But I do not find my salvation to rest
ultimately In an historic Christ, one who
lived and died In the past. I find It in a
present ana living Christ, made known by
the spirit of God who dwells in us and
speaks to us. I therefore believe In the
holy spirit.
To a Christian people who believe in the
fundamentals of religion, the doctrine of
the holy spirit is the most Important and
vital theme that can be discussed. There
are three persons In the trinity, the same
in substance, equal in power and glory,
yet but one God. The holy spirit in his
special relation to the Christian economv
was not sent down until Pentecost. But
as a person in the holy trinity he has been
operating irom tne Beginning, with Fen
tecost, however, begins the dispensation
oi tne spirit.
The Kingdom of God.
I also find that the Bible tells of a king
dom pi uoa, not as a iuure event,- out as
a present fact unfolding here and now.
Of this kingdom of God the church Is the
visible witness. It Is the chief Instrument
by which the work of the kingdom is done
on earth. I am sure that God has charged
me to be his umbassador and witness to
other men that he has made me a minis
ter of tho reconciliation between, himself
and sinners, which he has accomplished
through his Son. I find myself moved.
therefore, by every motive of which a
grateful heart Is capable, to do what I
can to make known the salvation of Christ
to the world and to help men to come Into
the life of the kingdom and share In the
work of the church which represents It.
1 believe that the mission of all who are
members of the church is so far the same.
ana mat we are set to press this issue
and to help and hasten men to choose for
Christ, and to Join his cause.
Tlie Variety of Churches.
I believe In the oneness of believers, of
whatever name, who are followers of the
Lord Jesus Christ. I believe In the fellow
ship of men whose lives are renewed by
the spirit, and who are striving to live
under the conscious guidance of his In
dwelling. While I recognize that there Is room for
large variety of church organizations and
of Christian work and statement of truth,
I have come to believe that the polity of
Ke Congregational church Is most In ac-coi-
with the church of the apostles in
its method of organization and simplicity.
Still, while I have my preference, I love
the church better than a church. God's
true church Is larger than any that man's
hand has formed. There are many flocks
but one shepherd. There are many tribes,
but one kingdom, and In my allegiance to
my tribe I would never prove disloyal to
my king.
The sacraments of baptism and the
Lord's Supper are more than water, bread
and wine. Although of no value of them
sllves, rightly received they are Chrlst'3
body. In whom dwells all the fullness of
the godhead bodily.
The Sabbath Is set apart by God for wor
ship In the sanctuary. It Is made for man.
to help him by instruction, still more by
devotion, to rehearse the songs of heaven,
and to be at home with God. The week
day says, "Let. us work"; the Sabbath
says, "Let us pray."
I believe In God as the hearer and an-
try to reconcile prayer wiui uiviue ae
crees. I believe God answers prayer sometimes
in saying "No," as well as at other times
In saying "Yes."
The Future Life.
I believe In a future life concerning
which the Bible Impresses me more by Its
reticence -than by its revelations. I believe
In a. resurrection and a judgment which
will be righteous and merciful.
I have- no- occasion to Invent or conjec
ture "future probation." I have no author
ity from the word of God to Judge those
that are without; ncr do I conceive that
anv man living has a right to sentence all
the heathen world, to damnation. God is
the God of the whole earth, and not any
little patch or corner of It. For the heath
en, the unfortunate, the Infant, I rest my
soul on the question Abraham asked thou
sands of years ago, "'Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right?"
I have no fear of the so-called "higher
criticism." Let.1t go on. If there are er
rors in scripture, let us see them. If we
have believed too much or too little, let
us readjust our creeds. We want the
truth. Ignorance Is not the mother of
devotion that Is a heresy from the dark
ages. "We cannot build stone walls around
the Bible. We cannot frighten scholar
ship away by saying, "Talie your unsanc
tlfied hands off from the sacred oracles of
God." Investigation will go on. Only one
thing have we any right to demand rev
erence and honesty. And I believe that
the heart and mind of the best scholarship
of our day can be trusted.
-The heresy I fear is not that of the'
higher criticism, not that of probation
after death, not that of evolution, and
J other kindred heresies, but that of the
deity, and atonement of Jesus, ana tne
heresy of not loving men with all my
mind, soul and strength, for their salva
tion In a word. then, mv creed Is Christ
without whom'Christiaulty Is nothing. He
Is the interpreter of the divine mind. He
is the center of all revelation. To him all
revelation points. Christ is in the Old Tes
tament prophetically, and in the New Tes
tament historically, into tne ministry oi
this clorious trosDel God has, brought me.
all unworthy of so great an honor. I en
ter upon this pastorate not to do anything
spectacular or to say anything unparal
leled, but simply to tell with simplicity
and earnestness, to all who are willing to
llstentbe old, old story of Jesus and his
love. To him be all the glory and praise,
world without end. Amen.
At the conclusion of' Dr. House's expo
sition of faith it was moved that his
statement be accepted without question
and that tho ceremony of installation
proceed. .
Some objection was made to this, it
being urged that those who wished to
question Dr. House on doctrinal points
should have an opportrunlty to do so.
After much debate the jtobtibn was with
drawn and. the moderator asked the as
semblage If any person desired to cate
chise the candidate.
In the church there was a dead silence.
Once more the moderator spoke.
"Is there any person here present who
desires to ask a question of the candi
date?" he asked. "Let him now speak
or else forever after hold his peace."
Again there was no response, and It
was moved that the council go into ex
ecutive session. When they returned to
the church, it was. announced .that they
had found Dr. House to be a satisfactory
candidate In every respect and that the
ceremony of Installation would be per
formed at tho evening session. The as
semblage then adjourned until 8 P. M.
SEW PASTOR WELCOMED.
Formal Installation Service nt
First Congregational Church.
The formal Installation exercises com
mencing at S o'clock In the evening
opened with prayer by Rev. J. J. Staub,
of Sunnyslde Church. The minutes of the
council were then read by Scribe C. E.J
Chase, bf the council. A special hymn
was then read by Rev. Cephas Clapp, of
the Forest Grove church, after which
Rev. Howard A. Brldgman, managing
editor of the Congregatlonallst, of Bos
ton, read a Scriptural passage. "The Lord
Is My Light" was sung as a duet by
Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and "W. H. Boyer.
The Installation sermon was preached by
Dr. Charles R. Brown, of the First Con
gregational Church of Oakland, Cal. It
was a masterly effort on the subject of
the transfiguration, and he most touch
lngly referred to the ministerial duties of
the pastor as exemplified by the wofk of
Christ. Professor Charles S. Nash, of
the Pacific Theological Seminary, of Oak
land, offered the Installing prayer, after
which Mr. Boyer sang "Beyond the
Hills." The charge to the pastor was de
livered by President John K. McLean, of
the Pacific Theological Seminary. Dr.
McLean's remarks were practical and
pointed and the tiew pastor and his con
gregation were visibly affected. It was
the part of Rev. "William C Kantner. of
the First Congregational Church of Salem,
to extend the. fellowship of the church
in Oregon to Dr. House. This he did In a
most cordial address. Che choir then ren
dered "The Choir Angelic," after which
Dr. Amory H. Bradford, of Montclalr, N.
J., of the National Congregational Coun
cil, made the charge to the people, im
pressing especially the necessity of will
ing co-operation on the part of the con
gregation with the minister. The churches
of Portland, through Rev. Edgar P. Hill,
then extended a warm welcome to Dr.
House. Rev. E. T. Ford, of Tacoma, of
fered the closing prayer, another hymn
was sung and the benediction by the pas
tor ended the service.
The lower portion of the church was
crowded, and the genuineness of the
formal welcome to his pastorate must
have been very gratifying to Dr. House.
At 6 o'clock In the evening tho instal
lation supper wa3 served In the church
parlors at which 150 persons, represent
ing the clergy and laity of the church,
were served. Judge J. B. Clcland acted
as toastmastcr, toasts being responded to
by Rev. C. H. Daniels, of Boston; Rev.
E. T. Ford, of Tacoma; Rev. Horace Day,
of Los Angeles: Rev. Mr. Singer, Rev.
Walter Free, Rev. Mr. Ferrer, editor of
the Pacific Congregatlonallst of San Fran
cisco; Judge M. C. George and others.
