ELEBRATED
First Day of Holy Week Appro
priately Observed in Port
r . land's Churches.
ihAiIRA SbKVIUfcS rLANNtLJ
Spirit of the Season to Prevail
Throughout the Week, Hav
ing Culmination in Service
on Easter Sunday.
Yesterday -"was Palm Sunday, and in
all of the local Episcopal and Catholic
Churches special services were held,
and will continue every day this week,
which Is known as "Holy Week."
Palm Sunday, the Sunday before
Saster and the day which ushers In
Holy week, has borne its name for more
than 1400 years. It commemorates the
triumphal entry of Jesus Into Jeru
salem. Palm branches were strewed
la his way and this gave the name to
the day and the custom of decorating'
the churches with them.
The week is considered the most sa
cred of all the days of Lent and mem
bers of the various churches that ob
serve it pay special attention to devo
tional exercises. The principal days
of the week are: Holy Thursday, the
day of the Lord's Supper. It is also
known as Mauny-Thursday, or the day
upon which the new commandment of
"Love one another" was given. Good
Friday and Holy Saturday arc the
other two days of importance. Good
Friday has given somber color to Envy
Friday, Just as Easter has given its
radiance to envy. Saturday, or Easter
eve, is especially a day for quiet re
flection. It is a day when the thoughts
of Christian people turn to the spirit
of Jesus Christ in Paradise and the
spirits of the departed loved ones of
earth.
All through the week there are to
be extra services in the Catholic
Churches. At 7:30 o'clock Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings there
will be the office of Tenebrae. with a
special sermon on "The Passion" Fri
day night. The morning services will
be-held at 8 o'olock on Thursday. Fri
day and Saturday. The holy oils will
be blessed on Thursday morning.
Pontifical high mass will be said at
10:30 Easter Sunday morning at uie
Cathedral of the Immaculate Concep
tion. The scripture lessons in all the
churches will be expressions of the
great love of the Father and the hu
imillating love of JeBus Christ in sac
rificing his life to bless the world.
RESULTS OP THE REVIVAL
Rev. It. 31. Boozer Speaks on "Dis
posing of the Spoils."
Rev. L. M. Boozer, at the Piedmont
Presbyterian Church yesterday morning,
gave a symposium of the late religious
campaign in the Portland churches Under
Dr. Chapman, and how best to reap the
full harvest. He spoke on the topic,
"Disposing of the Spoils." His text was
from H Chronicles xli:14 and xl:15. After
giving an exposition of the text he spoke
directly of the great revival and the ef
fect spiritually upon the church In gen
eral. "The result will be a new faith In God,"
said Mr. Boozer, "through a new and
broader contemplation of Christian work.
It will have this effect on the church in
general. Then we must consider the
large number of souls that have been
saved. These are to be consecrated to
God. Only by so doing can we forget our
own part in the great work and remem
ber that we are stewards. To God we
should committ the fruits of this great
revival. Also we are under obligations
to continue the work that has been
started. Many battles that have been
won are lost through the victors sitting
down and remaining Inactive and by
not following up to what lies beyond.
Our full forces must be employed, or
much that has been gained will be lost.
With renewed actilvty all along the lines
great blessings will come to all the
churches."
RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE
Small Boy Narrowly Escapes Serious
Injury at Tenth and Alder.
To a. slippery pavement Bruce Ogden, a
boy of 10 years, owes his life. He was
riding a bicycle out Alder street yesterday
afternoon, about 5:S0 o'clock, and when in
the neighborhood of Tenth street he was
overtaken by an automobile. The auto
could not be stopped in time to prevent
hitting the youngster, but the driver
quickly turned the machine to one side
in such a manner that the lamp at the
side of the seat was the only part that
struck the boy. He was rendered un
conscious for a time, but an examina
tion by Dr. J. J. Panton revealed noth
ing more serious than a slight abrasion
of the scalp and a bruise or two about
the head.
The bicycle "was demolished by the
wheels of the auto. It was raining quite
"hard at the time of the accident, and
when the machine hit the bicycle both
rider and wheel slipped over the pave
ment instead of falling directly In front
of the auto.
The boy gave his address as 675 East
Ankeny street, but in his confusion as a
result of the fall, could not remember his
father's initials, nor how he happened to
he on this side of the river.
'EPIDEMIC. IS AT AN END
. Blague of Tonopah Conquered and
Feared Ho More.
That the authorities of Tonopah now
have the epidemic of disease which is
vraging there in check is indicated in a
telegram received by George W. Robert
son, of 325 Wasco street, from his father.
John C. Kobertson. This telegram, which
was sent from Tonopah yesterday, reads:
"Everybody O. K. No danger of poisoning.
Has come from slaughter-houses, and has
now been stopped. We do not eat meat
anv more. Notify papers."
Mr. Robertson, who is well known in
Portland, has been In Tonopah for some
time, and his family, worried by the press
reports from Tonopah regarding the epi
demic. Inquired by telegraph as to the
conditions there. The answer received
sets all doubts at rest

"These commutation tickets are dis

St. Stephen's Chapel, yesterJay morn
ing, was well filled by an enthusiastic
and devout congregation. The occasion
waa the ordination to the priesthood of
Rev. Horace M. Ramsey by the Rt. Rev.
B. WIstar Morris, D. D.
The ordination sermon was preached
by the rector of St. David's Church,
Rev. Dr. George B. Van Waters, on the
text: "As the father hath sent me
Even so send I you," John xx:21.
"The minister," he said, "is the rep
resentative of Christ and as such
should study his methods. His ideal
should be to do as Jesus did. Not only
Is the minister the representative, for
he has Christ's promise: 'Behold I am
with you alway, even unto the end of
the world. So great things can be done
by the clergy if they will enter into
their privileges. They have the same
father, the same holy spirit, the ever
present Christ, together with great
spiritual powers to enable them to do
their work. The life of the church Is in
the realization of this very thing."
The Rev. Thomas N. Wilson, several
years in charge of St. Stephen's Chapel,
was present and took part In the serv

Steamer Jupiter Has Keported '
HALIFAX, N. S., April 16. The Furness
Line steamer Jupiter," from Liverpool,
reached here today after a seven days'
passage from St. Johns, N. F.p where she
touched. .Some anxiety hid been felt lor
ihft sUasw. '
in Portland," said F. B. Davison, chief
of admissions of the Exposition yester
day. .
"I wish to further preface this article
by stating that records In my office prove
that, without exception, the people of
Portland and the near-by outlying dis
trict have and are sustaining this Expo
sition, both In patronage as It pertains to'
dollars and cents and In goodwill and
words in a manner that excels that of
any other of the many expositions I have
been connected with. You will note that
1 have referred to record evidence, and
not fancy or guess work. From this fact
I am very sure that the Lewis and Clark
Exposition will be one of the few which
have been a financial success.
"The real motive of my efforts in writ
ing this article is to call the attention
of the people of Portland and vicinity to
the opportunity that now awaits them
by way of Inexpensive admissions, to the
Exposition during the entire term or a
portlbn thereof.
Portland People Favored.
"The executive commltee of this Ex
position has discussed, from time to time,
the Interests of local people In prefer
ence, perhaps, to all others. There are
arguments, which might be advanced,
almost conclusive In their force, why
local people should have no discount on
admissions. However. I am not disposed
to present this side of the case. .
"Portland people, very largely, have
contributed to the building of this Ex
position. The stockholders In the main
have not subscribed to the capital stock
for the purpose of getting rich, as the
Omaha Exposition was the only exception
justifying such a purpose, therefore,
these contributors had only the Interest
of this city and the Pacific Coast country
at heart In their endeavor to organize and
consummate an Exposition that would re
flect credit upon the entire West,' and I
am certain that their hopes will be fully
realized. f
"History has shown that there Is one
class of people who always procrastinate
In matters pertaining to their welfare
until It Is too late, 'and this has proven
true In the securing of commutation tick
ets at other expositions. . It is but. right
and fitting, at this time, that the people
-of this city should be acquainted with con
ditions and opportunities that now con
front them by one who has had experi
ence along this line. In order that they
may not raise the old cry of "Why did
you not tell us?" To prove to you the
Interest the executive committee of this
Exposition has had in your welfare, I
call your attention to the fact that the
Exposition has had printed a limited
number of commutation tickets in two
series, one containing 137 coupons, which
will admit the purchaser 1ST times, or
as many times as there are days in the
Exposition period: and one containing 50
coupons, which will admit the purchaser
50 times. The .former will cost the pur
chaser $20, making the price of each ad
mission a fraction over He The latter
will cost the purchaser 512.50, making the
price of each admission 25c It does not
require much of a scholar to figure that a
purchaser of the season ticket may en
ter the gates 3 times each day at an
expense equal to that paid by the person
who docs not hold one of these tickets
who enters but once.
s Tickets Carry Privileges.
"This will enable the purchaser to en
ter the grounds almost at will, thereby
giving him the freedom of the grounds
on all special occasions, such as celebrat
ed band concerts, fireworks, banquets, re
ceptions, log-rolling contests on the lake,
boating, carnivals, high diving feats, air
ship contests, parachute drops, special
Trail attractions, etc.; there will be also
almost a continuous series of congresses,
conventions, muslcales and other special
events held In the Auditorium, at which
will appear noted men and women,
speakers, singers and musicians; in fact,
there will be literally hundreds of these
special events, which may be seen by
the season ticket holder for' the rldlcu
, loualy, low -price of, 14c.- No-such, epppr-
ronage will come any way. They know,
too, that it will not require but a small
percentage of 50-cent pieces (the regulnr
price of admission) to equal the total
amount represented by commutation tick
ets. Therefore, if they did not give you
the opportunity of purchasing 50-cent ad
missions at the rate of 14c they would
lose nothing by their neglecting your In
terest. This will prove to you that their
only desire In this matter Is to make
it possible for Portland people to enjoy,
as well as patronize, the Exposition.
No administration has ever offered bet
ter admission rates, and no adminis
tration has ever equaled the courtesy
which the officers of this Exposition
Company are doing when they make it
possible for you to purchase these tick
ets at your own door, or at Woodard
& Clarke's store In this city, and I am sure
that time will prove that the people of
this city appreciate the interest the ex
ecutive committee has evidenced along
these lines. I reiterate what 1 have al
rady stated, relative to believing it my
duty to tell you what lies before you at
so small a price. The Exposition has
done Its duty to .the public along this
line. The tickets are now on sale at
Woodard & Clarke's store from 9 A. M. to
9 P. M. The sale will undoubtedly close
on the 27th and before. If the limited
number of tickets are all sold. There will
positively be no reprint of these tickets.
No commutation ticket will ever be sold
which Is transferable, neither will there
ever be sold a family ticket. The rest
remains with the people of Portland."

right to deny its truth than the blind man
has to deny the existence of the sun.
"Look abroad upon the living genera
tion; glance back upon the ages that are
gone, . and tell me when have men ac
quainted with the Christian religion, who
have tested it by experience, been brought
forward against it? When have men In
life's vigor, as the virtues of the Gospel
have been moot profoundly tried, been con
strained to say: 'I have believed In vain;
I do not find the aid I need, the help
that it promised. The Gospel has failed
in my case.' When ha,ve venerable men,
with life ebbing to Its close, after long
experience In Christian living, just as
life was passing to its severest ordeal;
been heard to cry: 'I have believed In
vain; it Is all a delusion, all a He. When
has testimony like this been brought
against the Christian religion? And yet
until this Is done in volume and strength
enough to rebut the testimony of the
whole church, with no sort yf logical fair
ness can it be said that the truth of the
Gospel has been challenged.
"From these facts, what Is the induc
tion? This much is plain, the testimony
received Is true to the principle laid
down In the book that man needs and
may experience a change of heart, which
only the power of God is able to effect.
Gather up this lestimony; condense it, If
possible, into one view; turn upon it the
fiercest light of critical Investigation;
search it as Matthew Arnold would say.
'with vigor and rigor,' and what do you
find? Behold the witnesses. They cover
the entire period of Christian time; they
represent every nation and tribe of the
human race; every grade of culture from
barbarism to the highest civilization;
every occupation among men In the trades
and professions; every station In society
from the humble ppasant In his cottage
to the statesman who sways an empire;
every period in life from south to vener-
able old age; every grade of intellect from
the common sense that rules the affairs'
of daily life to the mighty grasp thafc
makes the mental world Its own. These
all testify with perfect harmony that
power divine has wrought within them at
spiritual change, has given them a new
heart, out of which has issued a new life,
so pure and full of sweetness and light
that even unbelievers as they behold it
can but wonder and admire; a life i
genuine that every strain of common duty
and even the fires of martyrdom on'y
serve to purge Its dross and develop Its
likeness to the divine idea. This la tha
result of a given cause, 'God in Chrl3t
reconciling the world unto Himself. The
cause Is adequate. The effect is worthy,
and against it the entire world of un

Through a misunderstanding many of the

them expected the meeting to be held at

ma
second verw o'f the eighteenth chapter
of St. Luke. "Yet lacke3t thou one
thing." He told in part:
"There Is a nobility about the Chris
tian life not found elsewhere. Men every
where admire It, and Jesus Christ Is
therein greatly pleased, since thereby la
bestowed honor unto Him that hath loved,
us and given himself a ransom for us
all. There Is also a reality in the Chris
tian life. Inifted every life Ij really some
thingpositively good, positively bad. or
positively indifferent, which is perhaps
the worse possiblei life to live. The posi
tively good life Is a thing of beauty. Un
selfishly it toils on and on. We find it
in our nomes in wire anoT motner. we
see it in shops, offices. . mills and fac
tories in husband and father. Such lives
are earth's richest treasures; but how
many are yet lacking one thing? Perfect
save in one respect. My friend, I ap
peal to you here! What lackeet thou?
Then seek it honestly and persistently
until your search is rewarded.
"But so many look upon the Christian
life as such a 'sacrifice.' So much to
refrain from doing. So much subtract
ing. But subtracting what In order to
gain what? The philosopher, poet, pugi
list, and every man who accomplishes
anything worth while musty subtract tho
hindrances for the blessings' So the real
Christian must eliminate many things in
order to reach the highest possible point
of excellence In Christian character.
Cost of Luxury.
"The rich things of life cannot be got
ten for a song. They cost tears, strug
gle's, prayers, heart aches and sometimes
life. The rich young ruler wanted eter
nal life, but was not willing to pay the
necessary price. It cost Jesus his life
to make eternal life possible to you and
me. What will men not give and do for
the prolonging of even this life? What
shall we not be willing to do for eternal
life? Is any gift too dear? Any sacrifice
too great?
"What one thing do we lack? How far
away from earth's great hero are we
walking? What relation do we sustain
to man's redeemer? O, that we may be
obedient to his commands. Speak, Lord,
and we will follow Thee."
