PLAIN TALK IN LAST SERMON
Minister Turning Brakeman Criti
cizes Portland Churches.
Alert, aggressive and keenly intellec
tual, the Rev. C. M. Smythe, who retires
from the Mississippi-Avenue Congrega
tional Church to accept the position of
hrakeman for the time being on the O.
R. & N. Railroad, on tho first of March,
set forth his views of churches ahd the
duties of the modern ministry with re
markablo candor yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Smythe is an Irishman from Lim
erick, and still retains a slight taint of
the Irish tongue, as he speaks. When in
college ho passed through a literary
cours? and then took the theological train
ing his church requires.
"Yes. it is .true I am going back to rail
roading," said Mr. Smythe, "but not as
high up as conductor, as the paper was
pleased to say, but in the humble capacity
of brakeman to start with. I shall preach
Sundays when at leisure, 'and then, if
called, may return to the ministry.
"I go back to railroading because my
term here ends the first of .the month.
I have no pulpit. I have a wife and fam-.
ily to support and must do something.
I know railroading best, and I will not
be a candidate for a pulpit."
Then Mr. Smytht-, In farewell, criticized
the Portland churches. He said:
"All the' churches lack In being prac
tical and do not reach the humble worker.
It takes, say $150,000, to run the churches
on the West Side There are some big
churches. Some are brick. Some have
trained choirs which sing anthems for
cash, and no man can understand a sin
gle word these trained .singers say. They
are first-class musicians and . are well
paid. Now, how many of the members
of these big churches with their high-salaried
pastors and choirs were resent
when 30 friendless girls were turned out
of the Paris House and taken to jail? Was
there one present from the W. C. T. U.,
or from these churches to say to even
one of these poor, unfortunate girls,
'Come, go to my home. There you shall
have protection and the past shall be
forgotten and forgiven?' Not one that I
heard of.
"The small churches scattered about on
the East Side are being absorbed by these
big churches. The members of tho smaller
churches attend the big churches. When
the woman who had sinned was brought
before Christ by the Sheriff, after he had
heard the circumstances of the case, he
said:1 'He that is without sin cast the
first 'stone' and nobody threw anything.
They took a 'hike. The church falls In
its duty toward the fallen. Why not de
vote some of the $150,000 used In these
churches to help some of those unfor
tunate girls who were arrested at the
Paris House? How much real good might
be done "If that sum were used In this
way.
"And so they are going to bring Dr.
Chapman and Hollla and some more
tramp preachers here to convert the poor
street-car and railroad men. I recently
heard an evangelist preach, and I must
say that from all points of view, literary
and otherwise, what he said was rub
blah, pure rubbish; but it was what was
wanted.
"S believe that a church should bo
made a sacred place, and not a placo
where cheap vaudeville performances arc
held with which to raise money to pay
expenses. I would have tho people re
spect the church as the sanctuary of the
Lord."

Securities Are 3till Missing.
SOUTH BAINBR1DGE, Mass.. Feb. 13.
The securities announced by a Boston
law firm to have been lost by a client
are the property of Herman Stanley-
Cheney, a capitalist of this town. This
was determined today when Mr. Cheney
made a statement to the Associated Press,
which he said was all that he wished to,
or would, say about the matter. He said
that the paper has a face value of $285,000
instead of $258,000, as first announced. Of
these papers only $10,000 were negotia
ble. Mr. Cheney hopes to secure possession
of tho securities without legal action be
ing taken. He explained that no person
having access to his home was under sus
picion, and confirmed the details of the
disappearance of the property as given
out by the law firm.
No clew to the missing papers has yet
been found.
Russians Building Railroads.
TOKIO, Feb. 3). It Is reported that the

ties and the heavy concentration of
