THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APEIL 17, 1905. IB. GRANT TfiLKS ON HEBREW HUGE Traces Their History From Beginning to the Pre- sent Day. ARE A "MARVELOUS PEOPLE Before Large Audience at the First Congregational Church, He Speaks on "The Future of the Hebrew Race." A most startling sermon upon the relative position of the Hebrew race fend that of the Gentile was delivered at the First Congregational Church last Slight by Dr. Roland Dwight Grant. There was an immense audience pres ent to listen to the oratory of Dr. Grant, and none was disappointed. His full, rich voice, his -pleasing articula tion, dramatic delivery, and above all, his thorough knowledge of the subject In hand, made the sermon one that will be remembered for years to come by all who listened. As a scripture lesson Dr. Grant read the 11th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Romans, which is a warning to the Christian people of the world against scoffing at the favored race of God and tells them that In due time God will again take unto his own the Israelites, whom he has for a time cast out. In introducing his subject. Dr. Grant referred to the history of the Hebrew race as being the history of the world. He said in part: "The absence of the history of the Hebrew race would be an immense loss to the world. The 400 sears from the time of Malachi to the time of Christ Is almost an historical blank and this fact should reveal the importance of the story of that race to tae previous important periods of the world's history. The. Hebrew was an Important factor In the history of the world fOr over 4000 years." . Xoah'ff Prophecy. The story of Noah's prophecy to his sons was really the text of the ser mon. His words to Ham that "he should be the father of Canaan" and that "Canaan should be the servant of Shem," and that "Japheth should en large the tents of Shem" was taken as the real origin of the human race. He divided the people of the earth Into three classes. The sons of Ham as the servants. The sons of Japheth as the builders of the nations, and those of Snem the teachers of religion, literature and the arts. He traced the history of all three classes but paid more partic ular attention to the sons of Shem or the Hebrew race. He said in part: "The Hebrew is an important factor in the history of the world. His litera ture has been struggling to the front from the beginning, surpassing all others in its activity -as a force, and Its prevalence, persistency and vitality. It is true in a historical sense as they are interwoven in all history. It Is true in a religious sense for It has touched a wider range of the intelli gent world. Noah prophesied that of the three great families of the earth the Semitic branch or sons of Shem should in some way be connected with the gift of religious blessing to the other two branches. "In the words of the Apostle Paul: 1 And if some of the branches of tire olive tree be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among, them, and with thorn partakest of the root and the fatness of the olive tree, boast not against the branches. . But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root but the root thee. There is a strange thing about this passage of Scripture. It admits the casting off of God's favored people and the grafting on of the other race, the Gentile, and a little farther on in the same, chapter the apostle again warns the Christian people that it is easier to break off the newly grafted branch and replace the old which he prophesies shall be done. A Marvelous People. "The Hebrew race Is the most mar velous in the world. The Anglo-Saxon race cannot trace nor define its lines but one cannot lose the lines of the Hebrew people. It stands out through all the ages as a distinct line." Dr. Grant traced the race In pedigree, ethnologlcalbv religiously, llterarily and biblically. He did not place de pendance on any one thing, religious or secular, but upon the strange combi nations of them all, and his arguments were enough to stir scientific inquiry as to the possible purposes of God in keeping the race intact through all time. He then spoke of Paul's argument when he attempted to convince the Christians that God loved the Hebrew race and always would. That the He brew was the natural branch of the olive tree and that through unbelief they had been broken off, and suggest ed that this was not pleasant for. God to do. Then followed the warning of the apostle to the Gentiles that it would be easier to break oft the unnatural branches. He saidr "Paul shows that the unbelief of the Gentile church will lead to the same severe treatment as that given the He brew, that had had its day of favor, as now the Christian church Is having Its day. The time will come when the un natural Christian branches will be broken off and the natural Hebrew branches be grafted in again. Spasmodic Religion Xot Wanted. "The prophet also urges that when this time comes the Gentile church will have lost its power and its only hope will be in the return of the Jews, not to Jerusalem, but to the favor of God. "Who knows that Gentile Chris tianity has not well nigh run its course? It is well today for the Gentile church to look to its element of faith and not to its lifeless form. It needs a revival of faith and not a revival of spasmodic religion such as has recently been wit nessed in Portland. Gentile failure will surely be Hebrew opportunity. God Listens to Jews. "God is as mindful of as much that passes for modern gospel In a Hebrew synagogue as In a Protestant or Catho lie Gentile church. The grand sermons that are delivered in Hebrew temples are as pleasing to God as though they had happened to -be in a Gentile meet- in g-house. The language of the He brew race is the language of Abraham and I believe that if there is a language in heaven it will be the Hebrew lan guage. "The Hebrew race has endured for thousands of years and we have God's word for it that he loves the chosen people of Israel, and if he loves them he will again take them Into his arms. "If the Gentile church is not careful the day of grafting In the old loved .nes will come soon., the present church needs' it ndt new members' gath ered In a series of revivals, but a, new faith. Xew members "without faith is a greater curse to all concerned.- The world is quick to "detect new faith Xrom JLhe mercantile spirit of simple in crease of converts that is often a mark of pride to justify wicked actions. "An. honest, careful student of the wide world sees a faith in the Hebrew temples that may well shame the Gen tile church, and this, too, when the Gentilo church has the divine favor of a personal messiah for which the Jew still looks. The iday will come soon when the Hebrew will see the Messiah arid'the Gentile will look for him as of old." NORTHWEST DEAD. E. Jj. 3i"orIey. OREGON CITY, Or., April IS. (Special.) E. Jj.

Curtis, in ACKSON, Miss., April 16. While It is xJ a delicate question to -a is cuts, uu one that Is Impossible to determine, sev eral people who have lived on both sides of Mason and Dixons line hhac to me elnce I have been in the South that the standard of official Integrity ana private morality down here is much ; . i ii... n io Vnrthp States, nar- tlcularly in the cities of the North. It Is contended that the Southern people, as a rule, are more regular In church attend ance and In the performance of othor religious duties; that they are more iree fr-nm crvMni scandals, and that divorce is very rare everywhere throughout the South, and in many locanues aimuai. un known. A Presbyterian Clergyman, uu has preached both in the North and in the South, eays that the private lives of city people down here as a rule are purer: that they are more critical of the behavior of their neighbors, and that greater dlegrace attaches to social sins and delinquences man in ine twruieru cities. The women of the South, as a rule, have larger families than In the North, and there Is less- complaint and criticism of mothers who neglect their families for social excitement than Is heard up North. There is very little crime among the white population, a fact which Is at tributed to temperance legislation. A great deal of whisky is drunk In the homes of the white people, but seldom to excess. As a rule every Southern man takes his toddy, either at his club. In his own dining-room or with his friends, but at the eame time he Is a prohibi tionist so far as the sale of liquor is concerned, because ho realizes that drink ing demoralizes the negroes and the "poor white" class and is the chief cause of crime. Hence there are comparatively few saloons. The moral condition of the colored people Is deplorable, and I have been told by everybody that crime, vice and immorality are spreading among them, even on the plantations. While sociolo gists attribute the largest measure of the crime and vice to the Idle and vicious elements that drift into the towns, those who are familiar with plantation condi tions and village life assert that there is very little difference, so far as the moral ity of the women and the colored preach ers is concerned. In every city and town in the South there is a large negro popu latlon without regular occupation, who live by their wits, who depend upon odd Jobs or do not work at all; or who rely for their living upon the servants of white households, or upon different grades of theft, from pilfering to highway rob bery. I have not heard any complaint of the courts. I am told that the criminal laws are justly administered, although the po lice (who are white) treat prisoners of that race more kindly, as a rule, than they do the negroes. The prison popu latlon of Mississippi is not excesslve 1,116 convicts for a population of one mill Ion and a half of people. The negro con victs number 992. the whites 123, while there is one Indian undergoing a life sentence. Of the women prisoners two are white and twenty-six are colored. The convicts are mostly young men, 570 be ing under 25 years of age and 896 under 40, The larger number are under sentence for crimes of violence, as follows: Assault to kill izr, Accessory to murder..; 1 Attempt to wreck train. 1 Hurling: missiles at train. ...... ........ 1 Murder 218 ,MQnt)anr.htnr 20l ODD SHOW IS SURE Washington Commission Hard at Work on the Exhibit. JOHNSTON AN EXECUTIVE Natural Ability and Experience Have Made Him the Right Man In the Right Place. , SEATTLE. April 16. (Special.) Elmer E. Johnston, Executive Commissioner of the Washington Commission for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, left for Portland Sunday morning, where he will Inspect the Washington building and look after other matters pertaining to the Fair. Mr. Johnston comes very close to being the busiest man In the State these days. Ho Is on the go night and day, and there Is not a county in the State that he has not visited during the past two months. The great and varied exhibit which Wash ington will have assembled in her build ing at least a week before the opening of the FiIr Is fast being collected, and Mr. Johnston now plans to go to Port land -about May 15 to remain- until the close of the Fair In October. It may be necessary for him to make one or two trips to the eastern part of the State in midsummer, but after May 15 it is likely that Portland will be his headquarters. In gathering his exhibit for the Fair. Mr. Johnston has been working more or less "under cover," and the press of the State knows very little about what he Is doing In order that Washington may be properly Represented by a comprehensive exhibit at the great Exposition in her sis ter State. Mr. Johnston did not plan to take hold of the present work after he returned from the St. Louis Exposition. On the contrary, he had hoped to give up fair work for a while and devoto this Summer, at least, to other pursuits. It Is a fact not. generally known that the Ex ecutive Commissioner for Washington is a practical farmer: in addition to that he knows the State of Washington from one end to the other, and for that reason It Ib regarded that the present commis sion, which -got down to work at so late a date, was very fortunate In securing his services for the Lewis and Clark Ex position. The Washington building In all Its de tails represents the ideas of tho Commis sioner. At -St. Louis-, as he himself ex presses It. Washington required a build ing that would make a flash: one that. amid all the varied and beautiful styles of architecture, would make a hit with the visitors to the Fair. There was no occasion to attempt to compete In an architectural way with the older and richer States of the East and Middle West. It was Washington's duly. Mr. Johnston believed, to get a "building that would make people stop to look at It. From that point of view it was a success. The critical eye of the architect probably found many things about It to criticise,. but just th same the visitors to the Fair saw It and the consensus of opinion was- that It was a remarkable building. In addition. Mr. Johnston returned bur dened with medals and blue ribbons. Washington, as the sister State of Ore gon, now regards herself as Joint hostess with the latter, and will have a bulia lnc which, will well enable her to perform her part of the duty of entertaining the thousands of people who will visit the Fair. The Washington building will com bine the practical and useful with the social. In architecture It will be all that the critical could desire.

Galloway, of the Methodist church, whom I have heard called the ablest man In the South, and who la certainly one of the best posted men In this section, tells me that the moral and physical condition of the col ored population in Mississippi Is improv ing somewhat, but very little. He thinks that about zs per cent of them are iook- Ing up, are becoming more Industrious, and are behaving better. He says: "The education of the negro is not only a duty but a necessity. It Is an econom ical as well as a moral proposition. The prosperity of the South depends upon elevating the character of the negro. Im proving his condition and Increasing his capacity. If one fact Is more clearly demonstrated by the logic of history than another It Is that education is an Indis pensable requirement for the prosperity of a community. It is a universal law, without exemption or exception. Ignor ance Is a cure for nothing. Suppose we close the 30,000 negro schools In the South and allow that race to degenerate Into Ignorance, pauperism, superstition and Immorality. The boasted strength of our institutions would not survive such a pol icy. I deny that education has made the negro more Immoral, or Idle, or crim inah There Is no evidence upon which such an assertion can be based. On the contrary, everyone who has studied the question must admit that our schools and their attendant influences have elevated the standard of morals and improved the conduct of the negro race. The figures will show that the overwhelming majority of negro criminals are from the Illiterate class. Several things nave been settled, and they are: "L. In the South there never will be any intermingling of the races; whether It be prejudice or pride of race, there I3 a mid dle wall of "partition which will not be broken down. "2. They will worship In separate churches and be educated In separate schools. This is desired by both races alike, and is for the good of each. "3. The political power of this section will remain In present hands. Here, ao elsewhere, intelligence and wealth will and should control the administration of government affairs. "A. The great body of negroes are here to stay. Their coerced colonization would be a crime, and their deportation a phy slcal Impossibility And the white people are less anxious to have them go than they are to leave them. They are natives ana not miruaers. various resources, etc, will' be of ele gant finish. Massive columns of polished wood, rich and costly booths, and rich carpets will attract the eye of the vis itor. It is known that King and Pierce Coun ties have let contracts for the construc tion of booths that will cost several thou sand dollars. Spokane and Stevens Coun ties have definitely settled to finish their booths in marble from the famous quar ries In the latter county. The stone will not be In the rough, but the polished pro duct. Snohomish County has permitted very little. If anything, to become known about her plans, but the committee from that county which has the exhibit In charge will spend upwards of $15,000 In bringing Snohomish County to the atten tion of the Fair visitors. There will be a miniature of the great Monte Crlsto tram and mine in actual operation, and from the enormous timbers of the State will bo carved the most unique wood pro ducts that skilled workmen with time and money can turn .out. Like King, Pierce. Spokane and the other larger counties of the State, she will have an artistic and expensive booth. The plans -for all these booths have been prepared by the architects for the build ing, Heide & De euf, so that every thing will be in harmony. While Com missioner Johnston has been most lib eral with counties which desire to make displays, he has urged upon their rep resentatives the necessity of having a harmony of effect In the matter of the booths. This Idea will naturally con tribute greatly to the general beauty of the Interior. Many of the counties which at the meet ing where space was apportioned demand ed, through their representatives a great amount of space, arc now beginning to realize tnat they will oe compelled to bus-, tie to fill that which wa3 allotted to them. At the time Comnilsslpner Jbhnstoh. "who is experienced In fair matter8,f told them this, but they were sure that 'they could fill as much space" as they 'could possibly "get; "Since then they have changed their minds. In consulting later with the Com missioner as to how to make an exhibit that would best set forth the advantages of their county, Mr. Johnston impressed upon all the advisability of doing some thing out of the ordinary, .something that the neighboring county would not do. The counties have pretty well fallen In with this Idea. It Is undoubtedly true that Fome Of ,th Eastern Washington counties wlllnot maJvq as gooda showing at the start as later m' the -Summer, after they have harvested, their crops." This will be along in tho latter part of July or the first of August. Many of them have choice fruits on hand, which will be In stalled for the opening day of the Fair, but the grain will have to come later. Of course, this Is not likely to be the case with Commissioner Johnston's state ex hibit. He Is an old bird in these fair mat ters. He served at SL Louis, Chicago and the Pan-American, and while he has noth ing to say In answer to the question, "How can you get together an agricultural and horticultural exhibit at a time when these things do not grow?" it Is very safe to presume that he. will not bob up at Portland with nothing to Install in these two Important departments. Unless the present plan changes, the Washington commission will not meet again until sometime next month, when the members will likely get together at Portland to examine tho state building and act upon other matters of importance preliminary to the opening of the Fair. The commission has depended solely upon Commissioner Johnston in the assembling of the exhibit, Its installation, etc For the first time in the history of a fair commission In that state, the Executive Commissioner will have full power to hire and discharge the employes who are or who will be engaged In assisting him. It Is well known that In past fairs the Com mlssioner has been greatly hampered by reason of political appointments. Every member of the commission had a friend or two that he desired to have visit the fair. He was made an attache of the Commissioner's office, with the result that the Commissioner in the end did all the work, and the employes saw the fairs and had a good time. President Smith and the other members of the present commission are profiting by the mistakes of other commissions After they had elected Mr. Johnston and named E. L. Reber as assistant secretary, they turned over all other appointments to Mr. Johnston, and all employes will be selected solely from the standpoint of merit. Political pull no longer cuts any figure. "How hard will you work?" Is the question the Commissioner asks each applicant, and after Mr. Johnston has told him what will be expected of him said applicant decides that he has another cn ragement for tne Summer.

Palm Sundny Services Are Not Held in Wnllace Church. WALLACE. Idaho. April 16. (Special.) No services were held at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church this morning, becaure Father Becker, the priest of the parish, refused to proceed with the mass until 14.75. the cost of some palms to be used In the services, had been paid for. and because he asserted the altar was In an untidy condition.

Italian Looks Like Murderer. GRIDLET, Cal., April 16. Constable Jesse Porter and John Gullck. his deputy. have just returned from a chase into tho country, bringing with them a man who Is believed to Pletro Torturici, tho Italian who is accused of the atrocious murder of countryman In San Francisco a few days ago. The officers learned from ranchers in the vicinity of the Butte Mountains that an Italian had been going about the coun try since last Friday. The man made his headquarters ln the fastnesses of the buttes. but was forced to come out to the ranch houses to obtain food. He ate at the ranch of John Richardson this morning and the officers were given an additional clue by local Italian laborers. The Constable and his deputy found their man after an all-day chase as he was walking along the road near Pen nington.

Mayor Boyd says he will present a bill to the Park Commission for 560 as expenses for his famous Journey to Olympla, ostensibly to buy a bull elk for the city zoo. In reality tho Mayor went to clinch a state Job before announcing his determination not to seek a second term as Mayor. The first stop was made at Seattle. There he gathered the newspaper report ers about him and confided to them his desire to buy a bull elk. The word was telegraphed all over the surrounding coun try, and the Mayor chuckled In glee as he thought how successfully his Itch for that oil Inspectorship was being shrouded In fairy tales. After a stop in Tacoma. where he like wise peddled the bull elk story, the Mayor arrived in Olympla. The Mayor saw the Governor, and the Governor saw the Mayor.
