IN MEMORY OF WESLEY
METHODISTS OBSERVE ANN I VERS
ART OF THEIR FOUNDER.
Tributes Paid to the Great Rellgrloaa
. Reformer Two Handred Tear
After His Birth.
Teeter day -was the tricentenary of the
birth o John "Wesley, and services In
commemoration of the event were held
at each of the Methodist churches In the
city.
At the Taylor-Street Church last even
Ins Rev. A. N. Fisher, editor of the Pa
cific Christian Advocate, delivered an ad
dress on the life and work of the founder
of Methodism, the hymns of Charles
Wesley being sung in connection with the
1 address. At Grace Church the pastor.
Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop, reviewed the ca
reer of John "Wesley at the morning meet
ing, as follows:
"In considering the Influence of John
Wesley we cannot ignore the long line
of reformers who had contended for the
faith. Calvin; Luther, Zwlngle, Huss,
Armlnius, Wlckllffe, and Tindale. It goes
without saying that Calvin and Luther
and Zwlngle, and WickllfTe and Armlnius,
and Tindale, made the work of Wesley
possible. A study of these various re
formers and their times reveals how true
It Is that every mighty movement Is an
evolution, growing out of some antecedent
contention. Truth does not dawn upon
the world at once any more than the
Bun bursts upon the world without a twi
light. Wesley did not originate doctrine,
but he constructed a body of doctrine
from the heat, fired it, and made It burn
hot over the "United Kingdom. He chose
the interpretation of Armlnius regarding
the freedom of the will, against that of
Calvin, thus ho broke with the Presby
terians and the established church, which
embraced in its 39 articles of religion Cal
vinism. At that point he also broke with
the nonconformists generally. He broke
with Luther as to the sacraments, and
chpjse the interpretation of Zwlngle, which'
was the spiritual interpretation, that
spiritually the communicant partakes of
the Saviour In the Lord's Supper and that
water baptism has no regenerative merit.
He borrowed his theory of religious ex
perience from the Moravians, who taught
that the individual believer might for
himself know that his sins were forgiven,
and that the holy spirit witnesses to this
fact in the consciousness of the believer.
"He reduced the S3 articles of the estab
lished church to 23. Wesley's view of
the ministry and the orders was not orig
inal with him, but it was radical, cross
ing the Catholic and " Episcopalian view
of apostolic succession which Wesley be
lieved to be a myth and unprovable, and
held that the only apostolic succession
was In the spirit and good works, and
that the ministry, according to the New
Testament, was of two orders only, deac
ons and elders, the word elder or presby
ter being synonymous with the word bish
op, and that the episcopacy was an office,
not an order. Our bishops are not men in
episcopal orders, but in episcopal office
the highest order being that of elder, a
presbyter, and any presbyter or elder of
the church is eligible to the episcopal of
fice. Wesley's methods, however, were orig
inal, his field preaching, class meeting,
preaching of local and of lay preachers,
his conferences, his societies, his inven
tion of the tract, the religious periodical,
the institutional church, the use of popu
lar songs, in fact, modern evangelism.
His genius for organization was com
pared to Richelieu and Loyola. His com
mon sense was superabundant and equal
to that of Pitt. His scholarship was the
finest in England, some even declaring
that he was the first scholar of his day.
When he took his master's degree he de
livered three orations In Latin. This
scholastic spirit was another of hjs gifts,
being from a line of scholars. In (philoso
phy he was platonic. In his ability to
discover a sophism none surpassed him.
He was a severe student of Aristotle.
Thus, whichever way we turn.' the fact
confronts us that John Wesley ras- a man
buildcd high on the shoulders of the
mountain men of the world. In this par
ticular he was much like Gladstone of
England, or Oliver Cromwell, with whom
he has been compared for Wesley did
for England religiously what Cromwell
Bought to do for civil England. Crom
well was a man of prodigious faith In
God. of absolute trust In men. of care
ful preparation for sen-ice, of dauntless
courage, a hater of shams, of glitter, of
Insincerity, of wickedness, of oppression,
of wrong of every kind. He stood for the
liberties of England, a free conscience, a
popular right, the under man. He wield
ed the sword for God. John Wesley was
God's soldier for truth, right, peace, sal
vation, religious liberty. For this he was
sent of God, and the world at this hour
Is resonant with his praise.
"For the slaying of dragons, the re
kindiement of irresistible enthusiasm, the
redress of intolerable wrongs, a church
needs many pentecosts and many resur
rections. And these. In the providence of
God. are brought about by men who go
forth according to their Lord's command,
into the highways and hedges: by men
In whom the love of God burns like a con
suming flame upon the altar of the heart;
by men who have become electric to make
myriads of other souls thrill with their
own holy zeal. Such men are necessarily
rare; but God's richest boon to any na
tion, to any society, to any church, is
the presence and work of such a man
and such a man was John Wesley." F.
W. Farrar. dean of Canterbury, in "The
Prophets of the Christian Faith."
Robert Southcy. the poet laureate of
England, in his "Life of Wesley." wrote:
"The history of men who have been prime
agents In those great moral and intel
lectual revolutions which from time to
time take place among mankind Is not
less important than that of statesmen
and conquerors. . . . The Emperor
Charles V and his rival of France ap
pear at this day infinitely Insignificant
If we compare them with Luther and
Loyala, and there may come a time when
the name of Wesley will be more gener
ally known and in remoter regions of the
globe than that of Frederic or of Cath
erine." In the evening, at the same church, a
Lesley song service was held, et which
the old-fashioned hymns composed and
sung by John and Charles Wesley were
sung. This service was conducted by J.
K. Gill, of the church, who read the fol
lowing paper on the influence and inspira
tion of the Wesley hymns:
"It is quite impossible to estimate the In-'
fluence of sacred song upon the moral
and religious life of the Anglo-Saxon race.
This influence has been most patent dur
ing the last 150 years, and two names
etand out most prominently as the authors
of theso Inspired songs. These names,
foremost of all, and which will live as
long as the English race exists, are Isaac
Watts and Charles Wesley. But the hymns
of Isaac 'Watts and Charles Wesley are
Entirely unlike. Dr. Miller, the most fa
mous hymnologlst of the Methodist Epis
copal church, and who is still living, says
the hymns of these two writers differ so
tvidely as to be scarcely comparable.
While Watts' hymns excel in grandeur,
Wesley excels Watts and all other hymn
writers In expressing the power of love
and the joy of salvation. Wesley Is uni
versally acknowledged to be the 'sweet
singer of Israel.' For real poetic beauty,
evincing the most lofty Imagination, no
hymn can surpass Wesley's wrestling Ja
cob, beginning. 'Come. O thou traveler
unknown, whom still I hold but cannot
Jee Of this hymn Isaac Watts said it
was worth more than all the verses he
had ever written. "Jesus, Lover of My
fioul stands today and will probably for
ever stand as the world's favorite hymn.
"Pause for a moment and try to recall
the scenes of suffering by flood, fire, ship
wreck, massacre, by land and sea., at home
and abroad, where the dying- Christian
with his last expiring breath has been
sustained and comforted by the words of
this hymn. The great number of Wes
ley's hymns is astounding there were
probably 5000 or G000 of them, and upon
almost every conceivable phase of life.
It has been very appropriately said that
In such a mass of writing the wonder is
not that all is not excellent, but that so
much Is valuable.
"Our own hymn book used in this church
contains over 250 of Charles Wesley's
hymns, and next to him comes Isaac
Watts, who contributes 61 Some of Wes
ley's hymns were written upon the quaint
est subjects. I copy from the headlines
of one of his books a few subjects show
ing his great versatility: 'To Be Sung In
a Tumult,' In Distress and Ianger, 'On
Going to a New Habitation.' 'On , His
Son's Apostasy,' To Be Sung During the
Riots, 'For a New-Born Child.' 'On Send
ing a Child to the Boarding School,' 'For
Condemned Criminals.'
"I can think of but one agency with
which to compare the mighty influence of
Wesley's hymns. They arc like the tides
of the ocean, their Influence for good is
ceaseless, universal, comprehending all
conditions of human life and circum
stances. Their power will be felt on this
earth as long as the human race endures."
At each of the other Methodist churches
in the city similar services were held.
THEIR FIRST COMMUNION.
Boys and Girls Join la Impressive
Ceremony at St. Lavrreace'a.
Forty-two boys and girls received, the
sacrament of penance yesterday morning
at one of the most impressive first com
munion services ever held in St, Law
rence's Catholic Church.
The children received the sacrament at
the regular 9 o'clock mass, of which Rev.
J. C. Hughes was the celebrant. During
the mass an appropriate musical pro
gramme was rendered by the . children's
choir, under the, directorship of Rev. Sis
ter Claire Marie)' of St. Mary's Academy.
Miss Marian Prevost, one of the St. Law
rence Church organists, accompanied the
singing.
Preparatory to . the mass the children
proceeded from St. Lawrence's Hall to the
church, where they occupied the front
pews on either side of the middle aisle.
In the center of the middle aisle, and Just
behind the last seat occupied by the com
municants, a small table supported a beau
tiful bouquet of pink roses and white car
nations, while streamers of snowy white
ribbon separated the communicants from
the rest of the congregation.
Father Hughes addressed the children
during the mass, explaining to them the
Importance of the sacrament and what re
sults It would assist to bring about. He
cautioned them to be strong in 'time of
temptation, and assured them that they
would not have to fight their battles
alone.
When communion was given, the boys
In groups of four first proceeded to the
foot of the altar, where four altar boys
in cassock and surplice held the candles
and communion cloths. Upon receiving
the sacrament, after genuflecting, they re
turned to their pews. The entire service
was so well managed that Father Hughes
is justly proud of the many compliments
he received upon it.
The altars were beautifully decorated
with carnations, roses and other flowers.
A number of palms, artistically arranged,
also lent beauty to the decorations. Hun
dreds of miniature electric lights of vari
ous colors lighted the altar, producing a
beautiful effect Indeed.
At the vesper service the Benediction of
the Most Blessed Sacrament was given
and the communicants received their bap
tismal vows. Right Rev. Bishop-elect C.
J. O'Reilly addressed the children on "Per
severance." At both the morning and evening serv
ices the church was crowded to Its ut
most capacity, and chairs were placed In
the aisles and In the rear of the church to
accommodate the people.
Those who received their first commun
ion were: Masters Theodore Tillman,
George Feldman. Charles White, John
Frelllnger, Charles Lashbaugh, OttoMues
sig, Martin Rotterman, Walter Stott, Wal
ter Feldman, James Wilson, Willie
Thompson, John Gaynor, John Webber,

MAKE FLEAS FOR MISSIONS.
Prominent Workers In Foreign
Field at First Christian Church.
Rev. W. M. Forest a returned mis
sionary from Calcutta, India, who for a
number of years has been in the em
ploy of the Christian Woman's Board of
Missions, gave an 'eloquent address on
his work at the First Christian Church
at the morning service yesterday. He
took for his text: "And other sheep I
have which are not of this fold; them also
I must bring and they shall hear my
voice; and there shall bo one fold and
one shepherd." The speaker described
the political, social and religious condi
tions. "These are slowly Improving,"
said he, "Just in proportion as they re
spond to religious teaching. The philos
ophy of India in which the personality of
God is denied and the deity called 'it' and
not 'him.' destroys the beliefs In their
own personality here and hereafter. The
only power which can redeem India. Is
the gospc! of the Son of God."
Rev. Mr. Forrest Is making a tour of
the Pacific Coast In the Interest of the
Christian Woman's Board of Missions. At
the opening of school year he will oc
cupy tho Bible chair at the "University of
Virginia.
At the evening service Dr. A. McLean,
of Cincinnati. O.. president of the Foreign
Christian Missionary Society, delivered
the address. A recent visit to all the
foreign fields has given him a personal
knowledge of their conditions and their
needs and has intensified his zeal for
the salvation of the heathen nations. His
presentation of the facts of the deplorable
state of heathendom was a powerful ap
peal for greatly Increasing foreign mis
sionary efforts.
CLOUDS PREVENT CONCERT
Thousands Disappointed at City
Park-Fare Better Next Sunday.
The 10.000 " people that went up to the
City Park yesterday afternoon to listen
to the concert were disappointed. On ac
count of the threatening weather in the
morning the concert was called off, and
by the time it cleared up It was too late
to get the band together.
The Park Board Is very sorry that this
should have happened, but it was appar
ently unavoidable. It is thought, however,
that from now on the weather will be
settled so that every Sunday will witness
a concert In the City Park. The one to
have been given yesterday will not be
lost to the public, as a certain number
was contracted for during the reason, and
every one will be played some time during
the Summer.
Next Wednesday evening the board will
endeavor to have a concert at Hawthorne
Park, as that Is the only other recreation
place that Is prepared. On Friday even
ing the band will play on the Plaza Block
In front of the County Courthouse.
On Sunday next a concert will surely be
given at the City Park, and In addition
to the music tho new refreshment stand
will be prepared to serve the public and
additional seats will be provided.

REGATTA ON THE FOURTH
ROWING CLUB PREPARING AQUATIC
PROGRAMME
Fonr-oared, Single and Canoe Races
Portland to Join In North PaclSo
ReK&tta at Vancouver, B. C.
Fourth of July will not go by this year
without a regatta of the Portland Row
ing Club. Although the citizens "called
off" the celebration; the directors of, the
club met and decided that a regatta was a
necessity, and, although the programme
will not be as elaborate as was contem
plated under the cltizenB' committee, still
the boys will be given an opportunity to
settle among themselves who is best at
oar or paddle. Those interested In, water
sports will no doubt be present and help
"root" the winning crews to victory
Captain Lamberson has been instructed
by the board to arrange details and he Is
now busy getting out a programme of
events. For the sake of Interest In the
sport and the public who attend, It Is
hoped he will pull off the events with less
delay than occurred on May SO. Interest
In aquatics can only be kept up by a good
programme rapidly pulled- off.
The course of four-oared races will be
one mile, with a turn, south from Morrison-street
bridge. Tho single race will
probably be one and one-half miles
straightaway to suit a whim of the con
testants, and canoe races aoout 500 yards
straightaway, finishing at Morrison-street
bridge in front of the clubhouse.
It Is not decided yet who will com
pete for honors with Luders crew. Al
though KIrkley has replaced Duncan at
"2" in this crew since May 30, and has not
been coached for fast work yet, ' still the
other crews all seem afraid to meet this
crew and are doing considerable Jockey
ing to keep from contesting with It In a
race. However, It will devolve upon some
crew to go against them and there
may be surprises in store. Montgomery
and King are doing their usual excellent
work, and although a new man is in the
boat, they can be relied upon to keep cool
and hold the stroke at the proper speed.
The club is contemplating giving a
"Venetian night" during July. Launches,
pleasure boats and canoes will be deco
rated with Chinese lanterns and other
light-giving effects. The clubhouse will
be well decorated and with the -aid of a
band and colored fire and fireworks a
beautiful sight will greet the spectators
and participants. It is expected that the
public boathouses will enter Into the spirit
of the occasion and aid in making the
night one to be long remembered.
The regatta of the North Pacific Asso
ciation, of which the Portland Club Is a
member, will be held at Vancouver. B. C,
July 24 and 25. Nelson, Victoria, Vancou
ver and Portland will be represented.
Portland will probably be compelled to
enter a Junior crew for both junior and
senior events. This is the first time the
club has been forced to do this, and it
is through- no lack of enthusiasm of the
members or rowing men. No effort has
been made to get men out, and the' crews
have been left to shift for themselves or
get coaching and encouragement from
whatever source they could.
However, the club's interests will no
doubt be well taken care of by the Junior
crew, which will be entered, as It has been
well looked after by R. C. Hart and Percy
StowelL Hart intends going north with
the crew and will look after its welfare,
training and the financial end. Not the
least of his troubles will be the training
table, as he insists that pie. Ice cream,
soda and wedding cake are not staple
foods upon which to build up rowing
muscle. Juniors on rowing trips are hard
to control as to thelr-dlet, but Hart insists
that every hotel manager will be seen
and the men will be compelled to subsist
on rare roast beef, with a few extras
and a bowl of porridge for breakfast.
The past month has seen plenty of ca
noeing. Last week a large number left
the club Saturday evening, camped for the
night at the mouth of the Clackamas and
paddled, poled and pulled canoes up that
stream several miles, and although they
found it hard work going up, they had
rare sport coming down, as the stream
is swift and full of rapids. . The next trip
will be to the same place, probably, and
an effort will be 'made to ascend the
stream further. Some are contemplating
sending their canoes up as far as the
hatchery by wagon within a few weeks
to test the river as a swlft-wtaer canoeing
stream.
The large number of members th? club
now has, has forced it to place the limit
of membership at 225. A waiting list will
be established as soon as this limit is
reached, which will be within the next few
"weeks.
The programme and names of contest
ants will be published In a later issue.
FIRE WASTE IMMENSE.
Five Months SUoyr 'Doable Loss of
Last Year on Coast.
Fire insurance losses on .the Pacific
Coast have reached an 'enormous total
so far this year. They are over $2,000,000
in excess of the losses for the corres
ponding period last year..
"It's a fright," exclaimed an insurance
mari; yesterday, "a perfect fright. Every
thing is burning up. And yet here we are
still writing insurance and making trou
ble for somebody. I guess it'a for the
companies."
An Increase In rates seems to be a good
way out of the trouble for Insurance com
panies? Policy-holders who are familiar
with the status of affairs are getting ap
prehensive. "Little complaint is heard
against excessive rates nowadays," said
an "agent yesterday, "except from persons
who haven't kept tab on the enormous
losses in the past six months. When they
are Informed of how things are burning
up they generally keep quiet."
Under normal conditions of insurance,
loss ratios, that is, the ratios of losses to
premiums, hover between 40 and 50 per
cent, but so far this year thy have
soared above 100 per cent During the
first five months of this year the total
Coast losses were about $3,500,000. For the
same period last year the total was $1,605,
000. It will be observed therefore that the
losses so far this year have been twice
as heavy as last. All this has made the
companies very cautious about taking
risks. -

" TAGES.
Boys' Brigade Balldlngr Will ' Be
Overhauled and Improvements -.
Made for the Members.
Within a few da3 work will be started
on the Improvement of the Boys' Bri
gade building In Sunnyslde, - which will
change it into a branch of the Portland
Y. M. C. A. While not enough money
has yet been raised to complete the
changes, no difficulty Is expected In get
ting what more Is needed from the citi
zens of Sunnyside. This" evening the di
rectors, of whom J. P. Newell Is chair
man, will meet and decide on the plans. -
In tho main hall equipment for a gym
nasium will be Installed. A bath depart
ment will be established. It Is desired
nlso to provide a plunge bath for the
boys under the front annex. The main
building, but up by W. O. Nlsley, Is 4Sx69,
and the. annex in front facing East Yam
hill streot Is 30x30.
It will take fully $500 to pay for the
Improvements. Of this sum $260 has been
subscribed. It Is proposed to go ahead
with the work and then hold another
mass meeting to ralsi the balance. Mean
while subscriptions will be asked for from
citizens Interested in the welfare of the
boys. "We did well," said Mr. Nisley,
"at the meeting last Sunday night, con
ridering that the meeting, was not so gen
erally announced."
The advantages the boys will have will
be very large. They will have the privi
leges of the West Slae rooms at certain
times of the week, besides those in Sun
nyslde. Instructors will be provided from
the head association for the athletics and
classes. Mr. Nlsley, who has practically
carried the burden of expense and man
agement of the Boys' Brigade at Sunny
side for a number of years, will be re
lieved. He says he is very glad that the
Y. M. C. A. has taken hold, for the peo
ple are more inclined to give assistance
under that management than where one
Individual Is at the head of affairs. J.
P. Newell, chairman of the directors. Is
full of enthusiasm, and his associates are
Just as earnest and Interested.
KIND TO HIS HORSES.
Street Grader Who Appreciates
Value of Haroine Treatment.
A striking illustration of the effects, of
humane treatment of horses used In grad
ing, where the work is particularly diffi
cult Is seen in the way Edward Monks
handles his team on Ellsworth street. In
Brooklyn. This street i3 being graded,
and the cut is very deep on the east side
of East Eighth street, On the south side
of Ellsworth there Is a high bank where
Monks was plowing, and in one place
one of the horses had to assume a very
inconvenient and uncomfortable "position,
at times being very low, while the other
horse would be above him. Monks went
up to the horses, and, throwing his arm
around the horse's neck, talked to him
in this way:
"Now, old boy, don't you be afraid.
You do Just what I tell you, and you
won't get hurt I'll stay with you."
Whether the horse understood is doubt
ful, but ne showed not the slightest hesi
tation in doing what was required of
him. He would stand quietly in the most
strained position on three feet The
driver never has the slightest difficulty
In getting all the work .possible out of his
horses, and no one ever sees him strike
either a blow. On the opposite side of
the street was another driver who cursed
and lashed his horses, and yet had con
stant difficulty, with them. Dr. Dav
Raffety, who noticed the kindness dis
played by the former driver, remarked
that he never, saw a man handle 'his
horses so gently nor get as much work
out of them, and added:-"It Ib wonder
ful simply to watch the man. Why, he
talks to his team as if they were human
beings. It Is certainly a remarkable les
son to men who think they must jerk,
beat and curse their horses to get work
put of them. . This man deserved high
credit for his treatment of his' faithful
horses and Is very unusual." i

Tabor reservoir in the course of a few
weeks. Residents of South Mount Ta
bor are pleased to get a railway this far,
but are very desirous and hopeful that It
will be extended right through that dis
trict to at least the Grange Hall.
During the month the Portland Railway
Company has been delivering rails, for
Its Sunnyslde and Alblna extensions, and
has also started work on Its Broadway
Branch. Beyond setting up poles and de
livering rails, no other work has yet been
started, but all this Is preparatory to
grading and track-laying. Under Its
franchise the company has two years In
which to complete these branches, but It
will hardly take that much time. It Is
announced that It will build the Sunny
slde, Broadway and Alblna branches as
soon as possible.
The City & Suburban is not doing any
thing on the East Side at present, but has
several large jobs in prospect. One is
to change the Richmond .branch so It will
run straight east from East Twenty-sixth
street on Clinton. A start has been made
on this extension, and poles have been
set up out to East Thirty-ninth, as far
as will be necessary to strike the present
line.
. NEW GRASS IS VERY TOUGH.
It Flourishes on Plympton. Kelly's
Farm to His Disgust.
Plympton Kelly, the veteran pioneer
farmer on the Section road, whose model
farm always attracts attention, reports
that after overcoming great difficulties In
bringing his place up to Its present high
state of cultivation, he Is called on to en
counter another difficulty. Ho says that
for several years he has had to contend
with a peculiar grass that threatens to
become very troublesome. Mr. Kelly says
that this grass Is exceedingly tough and
has more Jives than the proverbial cat.
A few years ago he thought he had It
overcome, but it has returned.
Mr. Kelly says that a single stock of
the grass is stronger than a strand of
strong linen thread. In his potato patch
he has found that the stalks of this grass
will grow right through the potatoes.
Several names have been given It, but its
correct name is not known. How it got
started on this highly cultivated farm is
equally mysterious. Perhaps some of
the scientific farmers may be able to
classify it Mr. Kelly says that some
have pronounced it "quack" grass.
New Principal at Russellville.
The board of directors of the Russell
vllle school district Saturday night elect
ed J. F, Croft principal for the ensuing
year. Mr. Croft is an Eastern Oregon
man and is not known here. It Is un
derstood that he is well recommended.
E. M. Lance, who had been principal for
the past two years, was re-elected, but
resigned to- acctpt a more lucrative posi
tion. Mr. Lance was offered the prin
clpalshlp of an Important school else
where, but says he can do better In other
business.
