MU TRUE CHURCH
itlder Craig Claims This Title
for New Sect
JILL OTHERS ARE MAN-MADE
He Calls It God's Church and Says
Others Belong to the Devil
No Creed or Membership
Roll Is Provided.
"This is not a church; this Is a meeting-house,"
remarked Elder R. H. Craig,
as he drove a nail home In the wooden
frame for the concrete foundation of the
meeting-nouse, which has been started on
Hawthorne avenue, between East Sixth
and Seventh streets. It Is a two-story and
a half building with a full basement and
will cost about J3000. It will be known
AS "God's Church." of Portland, and
is distinct from any other religious or
ganization, if it can be called an or
ganization. Mr. Craig came from' Spo
kane to b.elp put up tho structure. The
adherents believe that all other churches
ore merely man-made, have not the holy
'spirit and belong to the devil, and that
.they alone are in the straight and nar
,row way.
There are a few Christians among
, these outside churches." continued Mr.
Craig, "but they will drop out and come
into the only spiritual church the
'Church of God. "We have no disciples,
ISO membership, no creed, and no uncon
verted man or woman can come into the
tChurch of God. When a man Is con
verted, he is already In. We can't take
him In and we can't get him out, and he
goes out only when he backslides. How
old is this church? "Why, Christ estab
lished it. Tho Bible Is the foundation
The Bible is our creed, our everything.
Who are the members? The converted
are the members, no matter where they
are. This church is modelel after the
(ministrations of the Apostles of Christ.
We believe that there should be but the
one church, as there was the church of
Athens, etc, and this is 'God's Church
of Portland there may be more meeting-houses
but the one church of Christ.
"In Portland, I suppose, there must
be at least 100 different denominations
and other sideshows, where there should
be but the one church. How many true
Christians are there in these churches?
Ask a man if he be a Christian, and
ne says, 'I am a member of tho Mormon
Church or 'the Methodist Church, but
he dbes not say he Is born again into
the kingdom. Ask the minister in charge
of one of these churches how many
Christians he has, and he will tell how
many members he has on the roll, but
will be able to name few who have had
the witness of the -spirit that they have
been born Into the kingdom. These
churches are like the workmen at tho
tower of Babel they are full of con
fusion. They have cast aside the doc
trine of divine healing and the witness
of the holy spirit. Their ministers are
machine-made. They go to a preacher
machine school to be educated in the
ology, and are educated from God. They
are man-made. We believe that, if a
man be called to expound the work and
carry the message of God, he will bo
called and filled with tho holy spirit."
Tho only organization this church has
is a board of trustees, and this much is
conceded to the world because the laws
of tho land require some legal head to
do business and to hold property. There
are no missionary societies, no ladles'
aid. no young people's organization, but
everything is of the simplest possible
form to comply with the teachings of
Christ and his apostles. Elder Nell is
the pastor. There are no "reverends"
in "God's Church." The meeting-house
is being built by the elders and lay
workers.
CARNATION DAY IN CHURCH.
Fragrant Flower Presented to Old
Members at Taylor-Street.
"Carnation day" was celebrated yester
day morning at Taylor-Street Methodist
Church, and a large congregation was
present. The music by the regular choir
and the children's choir, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Ellen Kinsman Mann, was
excellently rendered, the newly-Installed
organist being Mrs. Edward Drake. One
of the special features of the musical
Bervlce was a rendition of the anthem.
"I've Waited for tho Lord." by Mendels
BOhn. Rev. Dr. P. Burgette Short
preached a thoughtful, scholarly sermon
from Hebrews, xlll:5, "I Will Never
Leave Thee Nor Forsake Thee." In tho
course of his remarks Dr. Short said:
"I wish all people in this congregation,
who are above 60 years old. to come In
front of the preaching platform at the
Conclusion of this service and receive
from Mrs. Short's hands a carnation as
a remembrance. Not that we value your
friendship as the price of one carnation;
far from it. But we wish after you take
your carnation home that Its fragrance
will serve to make you remember us and
thl3 church."
An amused look stole over the faces
of mobt of the people present, and there
appeared to be a lot of mental calcula
tion going on. When tho benediction was
pronounced, about 150 men and women,
who practically admitted being upward
of 50 years old each, walked down the
aisles, where they received a pleasant
emlto and a fragrant carnation from Mrs.
Short. It was one of the most unique
church services held In this city for a
Jong time.
DEBTS ARE CUT DOWN.
Conference Year Closes With Evan
gelical Church Prosperous.
The conference year closed yesterday
at tho First English Evangelical Church,
East Market and Sixth streets. Memorial
Evangelical, on East Eighteenth and
Tibbetts streets, and the First German.
Tenth and Clay streets. Conference will
open in Jefferson Wednesday, May u.
at 9 A. M . Bishop Thomas Bowman pre
siding. The First English Church, Rev.
G. W. Plumer, pastor, closes the year in
a prosperous condition, the J1S0O debt
having been paid. This debt was car
ried from the completion of the meeting
house till last Fall. At Memorial Church.
Rev. P. J. Green, the pastor, has raised
51200 toward clearing off a debt of J1S00.
He has collected subscriptions toward
liquidation of the debt from all over
the state. Friends sont out envelopes
to other friends with the result that a
large sum of money was contributed by
persons who are not members.
It is understood that Rev. J. E. Smith,
presiding elder for Salem district, resid
ing in Portland, will retire from the work
at this conference.
RENOVATED CHURCH OPENED.
Special Musical Services Celebrate
Grace Methodist Improvements.
With the new auditorium interior reno
vated at a cost of 52100 and the entire
building lighted with electricity instead
of gas, Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
was opened yesterday morning, practically
out of debt. It la now one of the most
comfortable and handsome churches on
tho Pacific Coast, and the pastor. Rev. J.
R. T. Lathrop, feels much gratified. The
musical Drogramme formed quite a fea
ture of the worship yesterday, and at the
.morning service John Ross Fargo sang a
tenor -solo excellently rendered, "God Be
Merciful." At the Epworth league meet
ing in the evening, the leader was George
Prideaux and Miss Josle Watklns, a blind
girl from the Patton Home for the Aged,
gave a piano solo, Faure's "The Palms,"
and two readings, "Absalom" and The
Traveling Minister." She also contributed
a vocal solo, "The Lord Is My Light,"
which she sang with admirable expres
sion. A duet by Norman Lewton and Clar
ence Godfrey followed. The silver offer
ing was a liberal one.
At the evening praise service in the
church. Rev. Lathrop preached an Inter
esting and instructive sermon on "The
Twentieth Century Church," in which he
said in speaking of the Russo-Japanese
war: "Japan Is one of the finest Illustra
tions In history of the regenerating and
recreative power of Christianity." The
choir sang an anthem, "Abide With Me,"
and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hamilton sang a
duet. "I've Had a Glimpse of Jesus." Miss
Nellie Dickenson ably played the organ
accompaniments. There were large audi
ences at all the church services.
NO MORE WOMEN SINGERS.
Pope Plus Forbids Them and Orders
Simpler Music In Church.
"No women singers hereafter In Cath
olic Church choirs, and their places to
be filled by choir boys. Abolition of
music belonging to the operatic school
and simply Gregorian chants to be sub
stituted." This Is the kernel of a dis
patch received yesterday from New York
purporting to give an advance pro
gramme of what may be expected before
long in Catholic Churches throughout the
country, in line with the recent pro
nouncement of Pope Plus X calling for a
simpler form of church music
It was not possible yesterday to see
Archbishop Christie, but one of the clergy
at the Cathedral residence made this
statement: "There will not probably be
any interference, with the personnel of
Catholic Church choirs In this country
for some time to come. The change will
be a gradual one In the direction of
Gregorian chants and much simpler
music than the kind at present In vogue.
The tendency is against permitting the
use of nondevotlonal operatic music, but
there is no wish, so far as I know, to
ask women singers to retire from Cath
olic choirs In America. When the Pope
recently made his wishes known as to
simpler music In the services of the
church, I do not think he referred so
much to this country. He was specially
thinking of the church In Italy. Prac
tically there are not any women singers
In Catholic Church choirs In Rome.
NEW TABERNACLE DEDICATED
Central Christian Church Worships
for First Time In Temporary Home.
The tabernacte of the Central Christian
Church, East Twentieth and Salmon
streets, was dedicated yesterday morning
with Inspiring services, Rev. J. F. Ghorm
ley. D. D., presiding. This tabernacle is
for temporary use, but Is commodious
and will fully answer all purposes until
a fund for a handsome church, which it
Is hoped to erect on this site. Is raised.
A large congregation completely filled the
new edifice at the morning and evening
services. In the morning Dr. Ghormley
preached on "Does It Pay?" The music,
which was unusually good, was especially
prepared for this occasion. Mrs. Nettle
Gale directs the choir and Miss Eva
Ryan is organist.
The membership of this new congrega
tion Is rapidly increasing, and tho Sun
day school has now an enrollment of
over 100. To start a regular building
fund, a concert will be given at the
tabernacle Tuesday night, some of the
best talent appearing. The cash con
tribution yesterday morning was suffi
cient to meet all expenses of erecting the
present structure, as much of the car
penter work on it was donated.
Free Methodist Church Conference.
The annual conference of the Western
Oregon division of the Free Methodist
Church will convene in the First Church,
East Ninth and Mill streets. Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Wilson
Thomas Hogg, D.D., superintendent, will
preside. Mr. and Mrs. Hogg have ar
rived and the former preached In the
First Church yesterday morning and
evening. Elder H. V. Haslam, the pas
tor, and congregation have spent J1200 In
repairing the building preparatory to
the conference, and the work is nearly
completed. Mr. Haslam is secretary and
treasurer of the conference, and G. W.
Bordurant is assistant. Following are
chairmen of committees: Education, J.
Glenn; publication, W. Pearce; reforms,
H. V. Haslam; state of the order, elders
of the districts. The conference em
braces tho districts of Portland, Salem,
Eugene, Grant's Pass and Ashland, in
which there are something over 458 mem
bers. Prize-Giving at St. Michaels. .
The Sunday school scholars of St.
Michael's, Fourth and Mill streets, who
have been faithful In attendance the
past term, were handsomely rewarded
by Father Cestelll yesterday evening. A
record has been kept of the attendance,
and nvo children from each class were
awarded prizes, consisting of handsome
medals and pins of appropriate design.
A substantial sum was invested in these
prizes, but Father Cestelll felt that the
expenditure was justified by tho good
cause and the encouragement to the
scholars to be faithful In their religious
duties. Prior to the distribution of the
prizes, a very pretty cantata and a one
act farce were given by the pupllB. Music
was furnished by members of the Italian
band. The hall was prettily decorated
for the occasion and the children were
genuinely happy. Assisting Father
Cestelll were four of the local Catholic
clergy.
New Pastor of Highland Church.
Rev. Arden M. Rockwood, the new pas
tor of tho Highland Congregation Church,
entered on his work yesterday and re
ceived a hearty welcome from the con
gregation. He preached morning and
evening, and attended the other meet
ings during the day, being highly pleased
with the field. He Is an Oregon young
man, being the son of the late Rev. G.
A. Rockwood, and Is a graduate of Port
land Academy and Amherst College.
When he received the call to Highland
Church he was stationed at Wayland,
Mass. The Highland Church has a very
promising future, although not yet a
year old. It has no debts, and Is sit
uated In a growing and prosperous neigh
borhood, In which there Is no other
church.

HOW TO REFORM CONVICTS
JOSEPH D. LEE DISCUSSES MOD
ERN METHODS IN VOGUE.
Prompt Employment Is the Surest
Means of Reforming Discharged
Convicts-Methods at Salem.
"Reformation of Convicts" was the sub
ject of an address delivered before the
William G. Eliot Fraternity at the First
Unitarian Church last evening by Joseph
D. Lee, who was superintendent of the
State Penitentiary at Salem from 1S99 to
1S03. In opening, Mr. Lee said:
"The penitentiary is a little world by
Itself, almost hidden from the big,
bustling, outside world. To It excursion
ists and sightseers are attracted that their
curiosity may be gratified, but they only
see a few of its exterior features. A few
who have a sincere desire to benefit the
inmates visit it. Their ability for the ac
complishment of such purpose is varied,
not Infrequently overestimated by them
selves, and even where their power for
The Late Mrs. George Dorsey.
A.t
good Is really great, their opportunity Is
not the best.
"The penitentiary, as its name implies.
Is primarily a place where convicted
wrongdoers are deprived of their personal
liberty as a punishment and are compelled
to labor without compensation, to ponder
over their misdeeds and presumably re
solve to lead a better life,
"Reformation is not a word of exact
meaning. Its definition is determined
largely by the connection In which It Is
used, but It presupposes deformation, a
warring, a disfiguring, and Its function is
to restore, or bring back to the former
good state. From the standpoint of the
officer, a man 1b reformed if he stops the
commission of crime. The strict church
man thinks he must come to a certain
religious Ideal before he Is reformed,
hence we find statistics showing widely
divergent conclusions."
The speaker then showed that the suc
cess of reformatory work depended very
largely upon the conditions which con
fronted the ex-convict upon his discharge.
If he was furnished immediately with
employment, he was very apt to follow
out his good Intentions, but so often he
failed to secure employment, became dis
couraged, and relapsed Into his old ways.
He then said:
"The publlo needs a little reforming. It
Is very hard to get employment for an
ox-convlct, even when there Is no par
ticular risk. He should not be unjustly
discriminated against, but at least given
a chance for reformation. One good feat
ure of the parole law Is that it provides
a transition, as it were, for the convict
from the penitentiary to the outer world.
Self help and not charity is what he
needs."
The philosophy of the Indeterminate sen
tence was explained. The character and
conduct of the convict determined the
length of time he shall remain, that soci
ety should be protected and that hardened
and unrelenting criminals should not be
released to prey upon society.
In reformatory work prevention of crime
Is the principle and punishment the In
cident. The work of reformatories and
their equipment was dwelt upon. A chap
lain or mentor should be provided for the
penitentiary. Mr. St Pierre, who fills that
place now, is paid by charitable people
of Salem and Portland. He Instructs Il
literates In the primary branches, as well
as giving religious instructions. The Pris
oners' Aid Society seeks employment for
ex-convicts and should be encouraged.

Mr. Lee,' for every conviction of crime
represents quite an outlay of the state's
money."
The conclusion reached by the speaker
was: Rational methods pursued by com
petent people will accomplish much in a
reformatory way. The results justify a
reasonable expenditure of money by the
state and the earnest co-operation of the
people. At the close of the address several
questions were asked and a pleasant ex
change of views followed.
One of Woman's Privileges.
A woman over In New Jersey has been
convicted on her own admissions, among
other things of having killed another
woman of whom she was jealous by stick
ing a knife Into her 17 times. The convic
tion was followed In due and regular
course by sentence to death on the. gal
lows, but tho execution of the sentence
has already been delayed and the chances
are that the murderess will never be
hanged. The only reason for leniency, so
far as we have heard. Is that the mur
deress Is not a murderer. In a country
where women had only their rights, of
course, there would be no hesitation, but
here some of women's rights are with
held, very cruelly. It Is asserted, and In
compensauon privileges are accorded to
y them. One of the privileges Is the almost

however horrible may be the crimes they
commit. Whether there is compensation
In this or not is for the women to say.

TO FOUND A COLONY
Boer Warriors Talk of Settling
in Montana.
ARE WELCOMED BY IRISHMEN
They May Bring Settlers to Pacific
NorthwestEngland Denounced
for Laying Waste tha. Land
and Breaking Treaty.
Irishmen to the number of 40 odd
gathered In Hlbernla Hall yesterday aft
ernoon to meet Captain Sheridan O'Don
nell, who fought with the Boer army
which defied lor two years the mighty
military strength of England. With
General Gideon Joubert, Captain O'Don
nell Is In America on a double mission.
He is on a lecture tour and he is trying
to find a suitable place for the Boers to
emigrate to.
"England has not kept her treaty ob
ligations," said Captain O'Donnell.
"South Africa is a desert and 25 per
cent of the people there are living on one
meal a day. The English have burned
the farmhouses in the two republics. They
are sending- to Asia for coolies to work
'in the mines. There Is no work, no
crops, no trees. The English destroyed
the reservoirs and ditches and now the
country cannot be Irrigated. It Is a
desolation and the Boers are leaving the
country that they won from the wilder
ness and then lo3t to the British."
Some time ago it was decided that a
good place for the Boers would be South
America, and an emigration to that coun
try is now being arranged for. It is
partly with a view to stopping this move
ment that the Boer fighters are touring
America.
"We have sent to South Africa within
the last few weeks," said Captain O'Don
nell, "more than 10,000 pamphlets on
Montana, including the Milk River and
Teton countries. I went from an un
successful Boer colony In Mexico to St.
Paul, where I saw J. J. HtlL He told
me of the great opportunities that the
Pacific Northwest offered to our people,
and has been of much assistance In en
abling us to lay before the Boers in
Africa pictures and statistics of what
can be done here.
"The climate of Montana of course would
not be as suitable for the Boers as the
climate of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho."
In the course of the meeting much
sympathy was expressed by the various
speakers for the Boer cause, and few
of them omitted to draw a parallel be
tween England's treatment of Ireland
and her course In the two tiny republics
of the African veldt. Captain O'Don
nell himself alluded to It and to its bit
ter fruit.
"There were not very many Irishmen
In the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State," said the quondam. Boer, "but I
can truthfully and proudly say that
fully 00 per cent of them took up arms
and fought against their hereditary foe,
England. The Irish blood- that England
has shed in all the years in which she
has caused Ireland to store up a bitter
vintage of hate against her, all blos
somed Into dragon's teeth In South
Africa."
A committee was appointed to attend
to the arrangements for the lecture which
General Joubert and Captain O'Donnell
are to deliver at the Marquam Theater
tomorrow night, and 25 prominent citi
zens of Portland will be Invited to oc
cupy seats on the platform. After tha
lecture a reception, and banquet will be
tendered to the visiting warriors.

All Are Interesting Except the Salamanders-Thousands
See Them.
Superintendent Hermann Lowitz of the
City Park, Is very much pleased with the
new animal family which was put Into his
keeping by Captain Craven, of. the Indras
amha, with one exception. This exception
Is the salamander branch of the family.
Mr. Lowitz does not like salamanders,
nor Is he much Impressed by them Just be
cause they came from Japan.
"You can call them salamanders all you
please, but they are nothing but Just plain
'water dogs.' Plenty of them right down
here in Texas, and I think It would be
foolishness to pay a big price for them.
Here they He in the water all day, and
they are so stupid and sluggish I can't
tell whether they are sick or well, or
whether their food Is agreeing with them.
These animals what you call amphibious
I don't like any of them!"
"Now that tiger he Is fine. That Is the
kind of an animal I prefer myself, but of
course, the public likes to see all kinds.
Those new monkeys are great, too. Just
look at that crowd around them."
The monkey cage was proving a greater
attraction than the "Browns" yesterday,
and played the leading roles in the Sun
day afternoon drama. Their human-like
little faces are Just red enough to resemble
Irish tipplers, and the largest one, who
was dubbed ."Casey" by the crowd, was
hunting trouble all afternoon. He got It
when Mike and Bridget attacked him from
the rear and put him to flight. After this
he settled down and put in an hour hunt
ing fleas on his younger sisters and broth
ers, to the huge delight of both them and
the crowd of spectators. Vhese Japanese
monkeys are without tails, which makes
them look quite different from the ordi
nary monkey.
The sloth bear Is the only on of the
new arrivals which Is proving at all ob
streperous. He' Is ugly tempered, and the

People May Go Without Food for
Days, but Not Without Sleep.
Fasters have gone without food for
many days at a time but no one can go
without sleep. "For a long time I have
not been sleeping well, often lylns awake
for two or three hours during the night
up to three weeks ago, but now I sleep
sound every night and wake up refreshed
and vigorous,'" says a California woman.
"Do you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee, but three weeks
ago I cut, off the coffee and began using
Postum. Twice since then I have drank
coffee and both times I passed a sleepless
night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum removed
It.
"My brother has been In the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
has been troubled with sour stomach and
I often would notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress In his
stomach: lately hardly a day passed with
out a dose of soda for relief.
"About two weeks ago he asked me for
acup of Postum said he liked it well
enough to give up coffee and since then
has been drinking Postum three times a
day and says he has not once been
troubled with sour stomach." Name given
b- Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Even after this lady's experience with
coffee her brother did not suspect coffee
was causing his sour stomach, but easily
proved it.
Coffee is not suspected In thousands of
cases just like this but it's easily proved.
A ten days trial works wonders, and of
course "there's a reason."

Mayor Williams 'was taking his usual
Sunday outing in the Park, and wac much
pleased with the manner In which the
animals have adapted themselves to their
new surroundings. Between 6000 and 7000
people climbed the hills of the park dur

animals.

Pears'
"Beauty is but skin
deep " was probably meant
to disparage beauty. In
stead it tells how easy
that beauty is to attain.
"There is no beauty
like the beauty of health"
was also meant to dis
parage. Instead it encour
ages beauty.
Pears' Soap is the means
of health to the skin, and
so to both these sorts of
beauty.

Aches
of some kind are the heritage of nearly
very one. from the Infant and the colic,
the mlddleaged and the distressing, mis
erable headaches, to the aged with nerv

business several days at a time, has been
ay life experience. I found first relief In
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills, and since
then I Invariably ward them off by tak
ing a pill when I feel them coming on."
