Dr. Chapman Speaks of the
Political Situation.
ARMORY CROWDED -BY MEN
Rev. W. E. Blederwolf Speaks on
"God's Gentleman" to Larpe and
Enthusiastic Audience Spe
cial Music Is Iriterestlng.
The last .days of th Chapman revival
ists are at hand. They have labored
long and earnestly for the salvation of
the souls of the residents of the City
of Portland, but what they have ac
complished is known only to themselves
and their managers. It is claimed that
as many as 1000 cards have been signed
asking the prayers of the ' preachers of
the city, and that the cards have been
given to the pastors of the various
churches.
Yesterday was'a day of rejoicing among
the evangelists. At the meeting at tho
Armory there was a crowd of men that
filled nearly every seat in the great audi
torium to Hstn to the address of Rev.
W. E. Blederwolf upon "God's Gentle
man." The first thing upon the programme was
the taking of a collection. The ushers
were asked to pass among the crowd,
and when they had finished eight hats
full of money were handed up to the
platform. Fred Butler then sang a solo
and a few verses of Scripture were read
by Mr. Blederwolf. after which Rev.
Dr. Chapman mounted the rostrum and
gave considerable advice along political
lines to the voters of Portland". He made
a direct Attack upon the candidates that
have announced themselves as being in
favor ofjan "open town," and denounced
them as the creatures of the devil. He
advised all men present to register, later
asking all to stand that had not regis
tered and would promise to do so. He
eaid that the City of Portland was the
home of the vilest places of iniquity that
he had ever visited, and after asking a
show of hands upon various questions of
lews importance suggested that the audi
ence declare itself for Mayor by saying
"Who will be the next Mayor of Port
land ?'
There were cries of "Williams." "Fred
Merrill." "Albee" and others from all
parts of the house, but none of these
seemed to suit Dr. Chapman, and he
waited a minute until the house was
stilled before announcing that "a man
of righteousness would be the next
Mayor of Portland. For about five min
utes the meeting at the Armory appeared
more like a political gathering than
anything that has happened in the city
for many months, but finally when order
was restored Rev. Mr. Blederwolf arose
to speak.
Spoke on "God's Gentleman."
He selected no text, but rather un
dertook to describe even-thing that
"God's Gentleman" was not. His re
marks were listened to with splendid at
tention, and the effect of his stories of a
pathetic nature was noticea upon tho
great audience. There were ..oars in the
eyes of many of those present, and
when a showing of hands was asked of
those that wished the prayers of the
evangelists at least 300 lifted their hands..
That many more were expected to raise
their hands was shown by the fact that
Mr. Blederwolf was not satisfied with
the- showing made, and asked all to
stand that had raised their hands. Just
22 responded, and he then invited them
to come to the platform to shake hands
with Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. They
came and a number of others, and later
he asked that they kneel at the rostrum
to pray.
The meeting was continued until a late
hour, and as the time gradually passed
the number gatnerea aoout tne preacn
w'x stand increased until half of the, re
maining audience was there to receive
theprayers of the speaker or to shake
the fjand of the leader of the evangelists.
Chorus of Hundred Voices.
The songs of Fred Butler and of Harry
Maxwell were particularly fine. "Harry
Maxwell led a choir of 100 voices in sing
ing "All the Way." The hymn was a
splendid one. and was written by Mr.
Maxwell's wife and set to music by him.
There were 3200 men present at the meet
ing. At the First Presbyterian Church yes
terday morning Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman
made an attack upon the newspapers of
this city by saying that this was the first
place that he and bis band of evangelists
had visited without -receiving the full
support of the press and being encour
aged In everything that they had at
tempted. The Marquam was crowded to its full
. est capacity to hear the sermon for
women only yesterday afternoon, and an
overflow meeting was held at the White
Temple. The latter was addressed by
Rev. Thomas Needham and was one of
the most . interesting of the series.
In several of the various districts spe
cial meetings were held yesterday after
noon, and much interest was manifested.
In all of the sections meetings were
held last night, but the only speeial
gathering was at the Taylor-Street
Methodist Church, where Rev. Mr. Bled
erwolf spoke to men only upon "The
Unpardonable Sin"; Harry Maxwell sang
"My Name in Mother's Prayer," and a
male quartet rendered several selections.
LIMIT OF CHRISTS POWER.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson Preaches
Interesting -Sermon.
"The Limit of Christ's Powers" was
the subject of an inspiring sermon by Dr.
Clarence True Wilson, at Grace M. E.
Church. Twelfth .and Taylor streets,
yesterday morning. He said in part:
"Our Lord's power to perform miracles
was a proof of his divine authority. But
this power to perform miracles was gov
crrifd by law or certain limitations. One
of his limitation was that while he was
God stlllTie was a man, and as d man
he could not, for Instance, be in Jeru
salem and at the same time command his
friend Lazarus to come forth from the
grave, or even speak the word there
and heal Lazarus of his disease where ho
was lying 111 in Bethany. It was neces
sary for him to go to Bethany to do his
mighty act.,
"Faith is the easiest and simplest thing
that God could have required of men to
give him in exchange for his gift to sal
vation. All do not have money to give,
nor do all have education or a good
moral character even, but all have -faith
In something, and all can have faith in
Christ if they will to do so."
The members of Dr. Wilson's congrega
tion responded heartily to their pastor's
request that the special meetings be con
tinued In that church for another week
or ,two. And all are - earnestly requested
to attend.
MEETING AT FRITZ' THEATER
Rev. J. E. Snyder Addresses Large
Audience at That Place.
Perhaps the most interesting meet
ing that has been held in the North
End by the revivalists was that at
Fritz Theater last night, -when Rev.
J. 13. Snyder, of the evangelists band,
spoke at some length upon the text:
"Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap." Mr. Snyder's remarks
-were prefaced by a few words of ex
planation. He said: "I am not here
to find fault with tho saloon-keeper
nor his business. I have more respect
for some saloon-keepers than for some
other men that I have heard of. I
don't like a man that fills himself full
of -whisky any more than the saloon
keeper likes such a man." '
Mr. Snyder spoke at Fritz' place at
the earnest request of the proprietor.
Some days ago other evangelists vis
ited the North End and were received
with open arms by the saloon-keepers f
and theater-owners, but they did not
refrain from attacking the very places
within which they -were visitors, and
there was a feeling of enmity against
them fls. it result, but this meeting -was
of a different sort. Tho audience gave
careful attention to the speaker's re
marks and many were favorably Im
pressed with his earnestness.
Speaks to Workingmen
"Christ's Relation to Workingmen,"
was the subject of the sermon of Rev.
Charles Stelzle at the Men's Resort yes
terday afternoon. Like the previous
talks of Mr. Stelzle it was mo.;t Interest
ing and when he had i completed his re
marks the majority of those present
gathered about the rooms and discussed
the subject in a manner that showed
the interest workingmen take In matters
connected with their welfare.
Revivalists at County Jail.
A crowd of .the evangelists spoke to
the prisoners at the' County Jail yes
terday afternoon. Several songs were
sung and the meeting was one of the
most interesting to the prisoners that
has ever been held within the Jail.

Portland,
Hy dear Sir -
I nave your letter of iaroh 30th and thank you for
the newspaper clippings St. Lou3 has profited yery much by the
World
s Pair here.
by-it,, it s difficult of -course to tell exactly how irnch of the
increase of -manufacturing f jobbing" and retail business noted in St-
Louis soring 1'906 is due to the Worlds Pair, but undoubtedly much
r of it is;.
If you care particularly to have detail- figures as to' the
- increase of business I shall be glad to send them to yout but I
imagine you merely Tzant to Know what we think' here has beon the
effect of ths World's Pair on business. We are very well satisfied
"
and we believe that the commercial benefit to the city is inestl
mable. The city s-pent outright $10, 000,000 on the World1 s Pair.
Certainly we could have afforded to double that amount oi hope the
Portland business men' .will support your fair as the St. Louis
business men did. Every dollar they put into it jftHcGiae back . to
them tenfold.
Universalist on Crusade of the
Evangelists,
THEIR PURPOSE IS SINCERE
He Regrets the Teaching of a Place
of Endless Torment, However,De
claring It Unbelievable by
Intelligent Men.
At the First Universalist Church last
night, "the little church around the cor
ner," on East Eighth and Couch streets.
Rev. W. F. Small, the pastor, gave a
review of the Chapman campaign which
has been going on in Portland. He
opened his discourse by asking how
many had attended the mcctingF, and
there was a general raising of hands, in
cluding his own. Rov. Mr. Small spoke
for over an hour, giving his own impres
sions of the revival meetings, which he
attended constantly, and closed with an"
exposition of the doctrines on which the
Universalist Church stands "The Father
hood of God."
Rov. Mr. Small found much to commend
in the evangelistic movement, and he said
so.
"This movement." he said, "is some
what different from the usual revival, In
that it lacks the element of excitement,
emotion and sensational hysterics that
sometimes attend ouch meetings, although
there has been manifested Intense feel
ing at the meetings I have attended. As
we expect to be treated fairly and lib
erally, we should accord these evangelists
sincerity and honesty, and a desire to
better the world as they batter down tho
walls of hell. This movement has been
the biggest thing of the sort that has
ever been carried on in this city. It Is
notable and conspicuous, well organized
and well carried on. Its chief effect and
power are In its expansive character and
bigness. Recently an evangelist came to
Portland quietly, without singers. He
scarcely filled the pews of one of our
most important churches. There was no
attraction.
Is Man Made, He Says.
"This movement, unlike that of Wales,
which was spontaneous and penetrating
and sweeping, was not spontaneous, but
was manufactured and prepared for, but
It has been a great thlirg for Portland. I
have gone night after night, and I could
see that people have been attracted
toward religious things as hardly anything
else could have attracted tVirm, and when
that much is accomplished, it means
much for real- religious life. Men and
women will think about a thing they are
attracted toward. It awakens conscious
ness and morality. While the movement
here is wonderful, it was not spontaneous,
but is man-made. It will make for church
union, the breaking down of dcnomlna
tionalism and the union of religious peo
ple. It attracts men who never before
thought of Christianity. I suppose as
many as.. 3ttt have been more or less
touched In these meetings. A good many
will backslide, but many will stick. There
will be some notable changes in life as
a result- Some men, low and degraded,
will be lifted up. There has been little
of the hysterical. The evangelists are
dignified Christian gentlemen, and so far

THE BEST WAY
IS TO SEE THE EILERS PEOPLE
The Eilers stores supply more homes with pianos and organs than any other five
similar concerns in Oregon, Washington or Idaho, and display the most varied, the
most extensive stock of instruments in the entire West. For the year 1905 Eilers
Piano House has contracted for more than a carload of pianos every other day. These
orders cover such famous makes as the
Chickering, of Boston.

claim our support. Dr. Chapman and his

Disbelieves in Place of Torment.
"But there is another side" to this ques
tion. I want to be fair I have given
the movement full credit for all the great
good It may do, but I have been deeply
depressed at what I have heard from
the platform as I have attended the meet
ings. I heard things which I supposed
had long ago been banished from the pul
pit. I thought that hell had been rele
gated to the background," but I was de
pressed to hear it used frequently at
these meetings. I heard the literallstlc
part of the Bible hold up without discrlm- (
lnation
"One evangelist declared, 'I believe that
man" came from the Garden of Eden and
not from the geological garden.' Appeals
to the fears of men and women repel
the Intelligence of hearers and are re
pugnant to the spirit of the age in which
we live, and are brought forward from
the dead past. Passages of Scripture are
not compared, but taken literally.
Preachers made no discriminations. There
was no examination of the ethical value
of the Scripture. I heard the evangelist
talk about heaven and hell heaven above
and hell below. They located hell In the
same old .place down there and heaven
above, without authority, but on mero
guesswork. They have as much authority
as the Catholic priest, who has discovered
hell to be in the sun, and the spots on
the face of the sun to be sinners. I tell
you, friends, that hell or heaven Is right
where you sit, wherever you may be, and
wherever you may make it.
Depressed at Such Teaching.
"I grew more depressed as I heard these
things from the evangelists, as I had been
led to believe the world had grown pa3t
them and had become more enlightened.
To hear of a place, black, full of misery,
terrible suffering, hopeless, endless por
ditlon, more horrible than language can
depict, and more than a large majority

being consigned there, was depressing to
me. A black. Impenetrable hell where
our friends and loved ones must go;
where the majority of the human race
must go! James Mills well said he could
never love a God that would create the
human family and consign the majority
to such horrible doom as this.
"There is no 'excuse that such a hide
ous doctrine should be preached from n
Christian pulpit in this enlightened day
and age. I can only say that I know that
on the platform, wljere this doctrine was
preached and held up, there were men
who did not believe It. nor did the men
who preach it. But it seems -to me I
should be honest and tell the truth. 1
heard from the platform Jesus Christ
presented as the lire-escape for the hu
man race, and Christianity "as an insur
ance company. God Is not the father of
the elect he Is the father of all the un
learned heaven beyond the seas as well
as the people of our land. The fatherhood
of God Is the basis of all true Christian
ity, and the Idea must be accepted or
a man will be driven into atheism. At
some of these meetings the question was
asked: 'Where are you going to spend
eternity? Tou are spending it now.
"At the audiences the people were
clean-looking, and yet the preacher told
them they were In sin. They were as
good, it not better, than the man who
talked to them. I saw some people about
mo, with faces white and scared at the
terrible -pictures painted of the future, and
In that condition they went forward to
the platform, with tears streaming down
their faces. There is always an influ
ence in a great audience that moves peo
ple as nothing else, and an appeal to
escape eternal damnation frightens them
when In such an atmosphere.
Could Not Be Happy.
"My friends. If I loved a dear friend
and he died and went to tWs hell I could
never be happy with that awful thought
ever present. How could I enjoy heaven
while that friend or relative was In the
everlasting torments of hell? The Idea is
repugnant to the spirit of our age and
our intelligence.
"I have come to believe that unbelief
and honest skepticism are the levers that
caused more progress in this world than
anything else. The church must appeal
to the intelligence of men or lose its
hold on the world. It must meet the in
telligence of men. There must be a de
sire to know the real "truth and an hon
est effort to know the truth. Dr. Chap
man said in one of his sermons: 'Christ
lived a spotless life, and I can also live
it.' I believe in that. Another evange
list said: I try to keep more hell out of
men than to keep men out of hell.' That
Jg true doctrine. As I said before, I do
not believe these evangelists who preach
the obsolete doctrine of the literal hell
believe what they are saying themselves.
It may help a few, but it will turn away
many more whose Intelligence cannot
accept the doctrine as compatible with
the attributes of a loving God, the father
of us all."
Kev. Mr. Small closed his discourse by
P3ing a high tribute to Dr. Chapman
and the men with him, who, he said,
were of almost international reputation,
perfectly honest and sincere in their ef
forts to improve the condition of the
world.

London's River Postmen.
Tit-Bits.
London has the distinction of being
the only port' where the ships lying- at
anchor are privileged to have their let
ters delivered to them by river post
men, It being customary at other ports
for sailors, to apply personally for their
letters unless the ship is in dock.
The Thames is divided into two postal
districts, each under the control of a
river postman, who delivers letters and
parcels every morning in a craft which
resembles a fishing' boat more than
anything else. Of these districts the
first extends from the Custom House
to lilmchouse, and the second from
Limehouse to Blackwall.
The river postmen start on their
rounds punctually at S o'clock every
morning, and, needless to say, there
Is only one delivery a day. The mail
bag may include as many as 500 let
ters, but this number is largely in
creased a"bout Christmas time. As he
glides from ship to ship tho riven post
man calls out, "Ahoy there!" and hands
up the letters, attached to a boathook,
to the waiting crew.
It only takes from four to flvo hours
to deliver the mail, so that the post
man does not waste much time. In
foggy weather, however. It takes con
siderably longer, owing to the difficul
ties of finding the various ships and
of steering In between the large ves
sels as they lie at anchor. At such
times there Is also a great danger of
being run down by passing ships.
As a general rule the river postman
woi4:s down the left bank first and
then returns on the other side.
It is not generally known that the
task of delivering the river letters has
been more or less a family monopoly
for several hundred years, and tho for
bears of the present postman of the
first district havo been employed at the
work almost since letters were deliv
ered to ships on the great tideway at
all. In recognition of theiu services
In this direction, George III presented
the family of Evans with the freedom
of all tho ports In the kingdom and a
silver badge weighing 16 ounces, whieh
is, of course, much prized as an heir
loom. The river postmen have also their
own uniform, consisting of the dark
coat and trousers usually worn by
Thames rivermen. but, bordered with
red and bearing the postofQcc budge.
In "Winter the river postman's work
is extremely trying, owing to the in
tense cold, and it is by no moans an
unusual thing for the spray from the
river to cause his clothes to freeze
till they resemble boards. But he has
always the consolation of knowing that
at the end of his service he will be
able to settle down for the rest of his
days on a comfortable pension.
