LARGE CROWD IS PRESENT money and refused to give it to xse. so I dealt Trier a few blows to Insure its return," said lie when taken to' the po lice station. The Cabrals are nativoe of Hawaii who "have lived In Portland for several years. The police say that the men of the family think It Is nothing out of the ordinary to strike the women. Irately Mrs. Cabral learned that she could have the offenders arrested, and she had been awaiting: the oportunity. Heard in the Rotundas Body Efecortcd by Masons and Mem bers of Bar Beautiful Floral Tributes Br. T. Jj. Eliot Delivers Oration. Without ostentation, quietly, simply, yet most impressively, the last tributes of respect were paid the remains of Judge Bellinger yesterday afternoon at the Portland Crematorium. There, was no show of pomp, no outbursts of uncon trolled grief.- but as he lived and as his wishes would have been, so the Judge passed from the scene in dignified and staple state. A vast gathering: filled tho chapel of the crematorium, overflowed it and massed around the doors, the windows and the grounds long before the cortege arrived with the body and the members of the family. It was necessary to clear the center aisle before the arrival of the hearse in order that the funeral party rould enter the building, and after its parage the silent mourners filed in again, filling every point of vantage. It was not a crowd made up of Port land residents alone, but Its members were drawn from the state. Men of the law who had labored with the deceased as a lawyer first, and afterwards appeared before him as a judge: those who had known him in private life and socially; those who represent Oregon in public life, both Nationally and in state affairs, these made up the bulk of the people who gathered to pay their lat respects la sor row to the departed Jurist. Many Floral Tribute;. The chapel rostrum was banked with lilies and roses and other choice floral tributes sent "by friends from this city and from outside points, while the chapel itself was dressed in blossoms. The funeral party entered the chapel from the rear, led by tho Masonij Guard of Honor. Behind these came the honor ary pallbearers: who were In turn fol lowed by the active pallbearers escorting the casket. The members of the family entered the building by a side door. Into the family room, opening upon the ros trum. Dr. T. Tj, Eliot, pastor emeritus of the First Unitarian Church, of Portland, and a close personal friend of Judge Bellinger, read several selections from the scripture, opening the services with the first psalm, commencing, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungod ly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor Eltteth in the seat of the scornful." The speaker followed with the 15th and 139th psalms and a part of the Epistle to the Romans, reading from the 24th to the 28th verses and the last two verses of chapter vlll. He then gave a brief ad dress commemorative of the life and ca reer of Judge Bellinger. His remarks were simple and earnest, betokening tho sorrow felt on every hand At tho outcome of the Illness which removed the jurist from the midst of his labors. Dr. Eliot spoke for a few minutes of the significance of the last Scripture he had read, the psalmist being filled with the sense of the being and life of God as a besetting presence and personality, in touch with all his creation and as the searcher and sustainer of human hearts; and the apostle expressing the human ex perience of ignorance and suffering or sorrow, and of spiritual dlslodgment and growth. Ho then said that the monarch of the world and of the universe was hu man personality, the travail of the man in you or me with his endowments and limitations, his outreachings and intak Ings of knowledge and experience and all the Inner world of the individual con science and of Its hunger after more abundant righteousness. It Is from this wonder of our own being that we look out upon the world of tilings and men and find we are in a universe of person ality and learn to read the world in terms of divine creation and divine companion ship. Dr. Eliot then briefly spoke of Judge Bellinger and of his personality and char acter, as so vivid and radiant that we cannot think of him as other than still with us, and only gone away awhile for some higher service in tho realms of love and light. Everyone who knows him car ries an impression that never can bo forgotten, of hi? genial smile and ap proachablness, his sympathy with all phases of human experience, his appre hension of all human moods, and insight Into men's heroisms or shames. This clt5 and state can never measure the full influence of such a life, placed as he was In positions of singular trust and filling them with conspicuous fidelity. HIb loss Is Indeed almost Irreparable. In conclud ing, the speaker again bespoke tho grati tude of the community and world for such a life of unselfish service and voiced the universal sympathy with his wife and family in their sorrow. Masons Conduct Services;. Following the address the services wore given Into the hands of the Masons and the Impressive ritual of the order was read by E F. Hltchock. master of "Wash ington Lodge No. 46. The brief and beau tiful service of the fraternity being fin ished, Dr. Eliot closed the exercises with a short prayer and the casket was re moved from the chapel to the receiving- room. The arrangements for the funeral were perfect, nothing occurring to Jar upon the feeling? of those attendant. The cars handled the great crowds easily and quickly, tho entire services being complet ed In an hour. The grief depicted on the laces or those who attended the funeral the many floral tributes, and the sad dened expressions of regret and regard "heard on every haiid told most plainly of the great love and respect cherished for the departed Judge by the many of the city and state who had been so fortunate as to know him either In business or in private life. Charles N. Crcwdson, who has firmly established himself in the literary firma ment through his "Tales of the Road." which arc now appearing In the Saturday Evening Post, was a guest at the Hotel Portland several days this week, repre senting Keith Bros. & Co., of Chicago, manufacturers and jobbers of hats and straw goods. Mr. Crewdson has been a writer of distinction for several years, but his "Tales of the Road" have been instru mental in bringing him before the public as never before. Mr. Crewdson Is a big. wholesome, en thusiastic man who always has a smile and a hearty handshake for every one he meets. "When he meets a stranger he acts as though he had found a long-lost friend. It is natural with him: his absolute sin cerity impresses everyone with whom he comes in contact. He is a keen observer of human nature, and one of his chief de lights is mixing with the traveling men. From his customers, his friends among the traveling men and his own actual ex periences, Mr. Crewdson gathers the ma terial for his stories. "The life of the salesman as he travels from one city to the other is not that of IN CITY CHURCHES Dr. J. F. Ghormley Takes as Theme "The Next Mayor." SERMONS ON MANY TOPICS What the Pastors of the Various De nominational Churches Have to Say to Their Respective Congregations. Many. people, including several deluded politicians, traveled to the Central Chris tian Church, East Twentieth and Balmon streets, last night, expecting to hear Dr. J. F- Ghormley, the pastor, give the name with absolute certainty of the new Mayor of Portland, but he didn't It had been announced that Dr. Ghormley would preach on the topic, "The Next Mayor' and he spoke on the subject generally and called for an enforcement of the law as It Is on the statute:books. "We are on the eve of another municipal election." said Dr. Ghormley, In part. "With the passing years this event In creases In Importance- More and more the necessity of good government forces itself upon us. One of the strange things gion, law and mediciHe had each its iunci tlon. recognized by the highest forms of ancient civilizations. And it is strange' that today the intellectual, spiritual men, who form a large class of the non-churchgoers, express themselves In terms of the old conception. There Is a right way and a wrong way of attempting to guide the thoughts of men and nations. "Jesus did not give us an example of a "reformer as we know the word. Mat thew was, no doubt, to many of his coun trymen, a 'boodler1 of the worst kind. The Master, however, had a larger horizon to which none of his most Intimate disciples ever attained. That spirit which would lead the church to attack men and insti tutions by other than spiritual weapons is the spirit which Jesus combattcd in the apostles up to the time of bis death. It was the spirit of Judas and of Hildebrand. Jndas Iscarlot was not a bad man, al though he is the most maligned in all history. There have been many worse than he who have blackened tho pages of the past- The story of the gospel shows that he was well up to the- average of the other apostles, else Christ could not have chosen him to be one of them. Judas was more In one respect; he was driven by the spirit of the hero whose name ho bore, Judas Maccabaeus; tho Sanhedrim was corrupt and false to Jewish ideals, and the civil government was In the hands of the hated Roman. Jesus was the Son of David, and Judas saw, with more fiery Impatience than his fellows, that the Messianic times were at hand. The day and hour had come, and he fulfilled the prophecy to the letter. The 30 pieces of silver was the gauge of bat tle; the price of a slave. A hundred thou sand Hebrews stood ready on this day to follow the standard of David In the hands of the Nazarene. But it was not to be, and too late Judas saw his terrible blun der. In bitter humiliation and remorse he paid the penalty. The spirit of Judas has clung to the church ever since. Many there are today, and they are not all of which be Is the reSecties. Sack things remaining, though doubt may chase dog ma from the horizon of thought, there is yet an all-sufficient basis for a. structure of practical theology and for a super structure of rational faith. The things that remain are near the home of the heart, -they may be the everyday experi ence of the mind. "Wc need no longer re ceive the light of truth deflected through the prism of sectarian thought, nor shin ing through the windows of the cathe dral, now dark with Calvanistic hue, now red with purgatorial flames, but may be bathed in the light of the open heavens beneath the sun of righteousness, right eousness the very existence and under standing of which is a sufficient founda-t tlon in logic and practice, for religion, happiness and salvation." Salem's Tribute to the Dead. SALEM. Or., May J4. (Special.) The Salem Bar Association, in addition to appointing a committee to draft res olutions upon the death of Judge Bel linger, appointed the following mem bers to attend the funeral: Judj, George H.

SAD CRY OF THE PEXITEXT All Need to Be Girded for Life's Many Duties. "Underneath" was the subject of the morning sermon preached at the First Congregational Church by Rev. E. L. House. The musical service was an ex cellent one, the chief features being the singing of two solos by Maurice Klein, of New York, and these were rendered with tine expression. The sermon in part: " The Eternal God Is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms; and be shall thrust out the enemy from be fore thee.' The text needs a great paint er, for it is full of pictures that appeal to an artist. After such a one has done his best, he has but touched the rim of such a magnificent statement. God Is above all imagery! metaphors and illustrations, but these help men to understand him.. Therefore Moses speaks In Imagery out of his experience concerning three great relations that God bears to his people. "God is a refuge. This means that he is our home, our habitation. This thought ought to help us, for while our lives are as brittle as threads of grass, God, from our cradle upward, Is ever watching and keeping his own. Never Is his glory so great as when he reveals his power to save. And while he metes out the heav ens with a span, he takes his whole arm for the protection of one of the lambs of his flock. The way of Israel was shut up when they came to the Red Sea all except one the way upward. That way is always open to every child. Upward went the cry of Moses, downward came the deliverance of God. "A mother who has tucked her children safely away hi bed, suddenly hears a cry from without the wailing of a child. She runs to the room where the little ones were asleep. One crib Is empty, her youngest has wandered out Into the dark ness. Once more that wall. Do you think she heeds it? No more than God hears I the cry of his child. He would cease guiding planets if It were necessary to attend the prayer of a single penitent. God has the heart of a mother, k while his I arm Is that of Jehovah. I "God Is represented as a support: 'un derneath are the everlasting arms. We know that the arm Is a symbol of power, and power In active exercise. If a man In Paris will give his life to protect his model from freezing, will not the Father display toward his handiwork a surpass ing tenderness and a more heroic fidelity? God Is the faithful one, and he will stand by that which he has called Into being. This figure teaches us that God Is a sup port placed underneath. We need to be girded for life's duties. "We are made of particles inflammable as the coal dust In mines. God Is a leader. He ever goeth before his people. It was true of Israel, and -will be true of us. He precedes us In every path of duty, he helps to bear the yoke. Ours la a triumphant contest: ours an assured victory. He makes his angels to draw a shining circle around our feet. He even goes farther, for 'he Is our ref uge.' and 'underneath arc the everlasting arms." What more need we?" i n i ibiiiMim ii i 1 V You cannot wipe off the blur!

I ague. 1 monotonous routine, but is a life of action in which you have to use the greatest sagacity and generalship." remarked Mr. Crewdson at the Hotel Portland Saturday night, shortly after lunching with one of his Portland customers. "You never meet two men who are alike, and each one of them has to bo handled in a different way. You might approach one man in a certain manner and sell him a bill of goods, and try It on the next prospective customer to find that you have made an utter fail ure. "The most important thing In approach ing a merchant with the view of selling a bill of goods is to interest him to such an extent that he will inquire as to what your business Is. Then you have his atten tion, and if you can convince him that your particular line of goods is especially adapted to his trade you will have easy sailing. For instance. It was Imperative that I see Julius Meier, of Meier & Frank, for a few minutes yesterday. "I went down to the store to find it orowded with people, as Saturday is the busiest day of the week. I found Mr. Moler in his office, but there were about 20 people waiting to see him every minute. I knew that if I did not approach him In such a way as to have him center his entire attention to me I might as well leave. Selecting an opportune moment I confronted him. 'Mr. Meier, I said. 'I am about to do something that is very im modest.' His attention concentrated to me on the Instant, I then said something about bothering him on a busy day, and before long Mr. Meier politely inquired as to the nature of my business. It wasn t long before he was showing me pictures of his family, and we spent a pleasant half hour together, to the annoyance of the others who were clamoring to see him. Needless to say I accomplished my purpose. "Then again 1 was up in a little town In Eastern Oregon, when 1 received a letter from a merchant who conducted a store miles from the railroad. He wanted to see my goods. 1 did not relish a long drive at that time of the year, so I penned him a letter giving various reasons why it was impossible for mo to make the trip, but Incidentally I mentioned that I would not continue my trip for several days. "Early one morning I was informed by the hotel dork that a young lady desired to see me. I prepared for the worse, as I had no Idea what a young lady wanted .to see me for. Upon meeting me she said she had written me a letter concerning my goods. She was the merchant with whom I had been corresponding. I learned that she had ridden on horseback and rowed herself across the Columbia River for the purpose of. buying from me. I sold her a tremendous bill. If I had gone up in the hills I might have not been so successful. I tell you, it never pays to be too anxious." PEUSOXAIj 3EEXTIOX. P. Lj. Campbell, of the State University at Eugene, was a Portland visitor yester day. Senator Fulton was registered at the Imperial yesterday for a short visit in Portland. Judge George H- Burnett, of Salem, vis ited in the city yesterday to attend the funeral of Judge Bellinger. Supreme Justice R. S. Bean, of Salem, spent yesterday In Portland, having come to the city to attend the Bellinger funeral H. E.

Mr. Mar tin is a- prominent bueinees man of the Ivansae capital. at issue in the coming contest Is whether or not the laws shall be enforced. Is It possible that we have come to the time In our civic history when a political party will make for Its chief plank In its .plat form the nonenforcement of law. and ask the support of respectable people? Tills seems to be the case. No prediction Is here made as to whom the successful can didate will be In the June election, and so far as this one question, the enforce ment of law, Is concerned. It ought to make no difference who is the Mayor of Portland. "The Mayor !s not a lawmaker, neither Is her a law Interpreter, but the law en forcer. If there is any doubt as to the meaning of the law. there are proper tri bunals to determine the meaning of that which the legislative power has said shall be the law. When the Mayor-elect takes his seat In office he takes upon himself the solemn obligation to enforce the laws. To make his command effective, he has all the manchlnery of government. from the Constable up. to the President of the United States. In this contest my con tention is this: If the Mayor-elect is in capable or from any cause refuses to en force the law, he ought to be impeached. If there Is no law by which this can be made effective, then let us have some legislation on this matter of supreme im portance. The end of the law must not be defeated by the intrigues of corrupt political parties. Shall thieves and thugs combine and by this balance of power place at the head of our city government a man who will turn loose on the public the pickpocket and the highwayman, and this with no chance of redress on behalf of the robbed and murdered? The issue In the present contest is absurd. Think of any one seek ing a place of public trust and honor be ing required to pledge himself to the en forcement of law In order to secure votes. In the long run there can be but little dif ference whether Mr. Williams or Dr. Lanp be elected. We have laws, and If the Mayor does not enforce them from choice in keeping with his oath of office, he ought to be compelled to do so or surrender his posi tion. The only issue Involved In this pres ent contest. Is that represented by Mr. Williams and Dr. Lane on the one side, and B. Lee Paget on the other. But has not Dr. Lane made pledges that he will stand by the law and the testimony? Per haps so. WW he not keep his word? To the extent of his ability no doubt, but his ability Is no stronger than the bal ance of power which may elect him. When the election Is over, the balance may be ignored . The party which has nominated and in a large degree has elect ed, will dictate the policy of the incum bent. It has been so within the memory of man. And what has been may again be. Let It be more and more understood that the laws shall be enforced by whom soever may chance to be Mayor." preachers,' who look with alarm on the tendency which would rob the pulpit of Its glorious privilege of preaching a liv ing gospel to the times, to turn it Into a medium of party and political strife. "The fields are white unto the harvest, xne religious forces of the world are stirring as they have not for a generation. Ancient barriers to united Christian effort are breaking down under the waves of righteousness which are to make this cen tury a landmark for the ages to come. God relgneth and In Christ all fullness dwells. This was and ever must be the message of the church, and just as the pulpit stands with high and honest pur pose for the ideals of the Nazarene, so will the transforming of the great heart of humanity go on. In the eloquent words of Ernest Renan, 'His fame will grow old without ceasing. His story will call forth tears without end: and coming ages will proclaim that, among the sons of men, none are born greater than Jesus." " business.

There Is home-breaking In the false theo ries of life. A cottage Is just as favor able for love and happiness as a palace. Vashti's broken-hearted soba came from a Persian palace. No more bitter tears have burned a human cheek than those that welled from the broken heart of Josephine. "There is home-breaking in the neglect of self. God bids the trees put on bridal robes In Springtime, deep foliage In Sum mer and wonderful pageantry of gold and glory in autumn. The man who can sit down to breakfast with a slovenly wife has retrograded. The woman who can keep up the fires of love for a filthy man Is an angel or a fool. Keep in full sym pathy with God's love for the beautiful. False pride has left wTecked persons along the stream of time. There seems to be warrant for the statement that Benedict Arnold sold his honor and his country to get raonej- with which he might gratify his wife's extravagant tastes. An equal tragedy came into the life of W. W. Belknap, and swept him from preferment to political oblivion." IDEALS OF THE CHURCH. Dr. Robert Hope Makes Reply to So Called Reformers. A reply to so-called reformers and criti cisms directed at the modern pulpit, was made yesterday morning at ATI Saints' Protestant Episcopal Church, by the rec tor. Dr. Robert Hope. "Comparing the pulpit of the past with what It represents today, the fourth chap ter of the Acts of the Apostles recalls us to bedrock principles," said Dr. Hope. "There is no denying the truth of sauch of the criticism of the modern pulpit. Honest men of the world are questioning the good faith of preachers and their fol lowers. We hear toe much of Paul and Cephas and A polios. It is worse when the sheep are fed on the husks of 'graft and kindred subjects.

At the Unitarian Church the pastor. Dr. George Croswell Cressey spoke from tho text, "Now I know In part." on the gen eral topic, "So-Called Unbelief and tho Things That Remain." "There are some expressions' loaded with tradition and bigotry which pass current." said the speaker. '"One of these is 'unbeliever' or 'unbelief.' The term is an Impertinence, it implies that, it ono- does not believe certain things, though he has otherwise a firm and positive con viction, he yet believes nothing. It is not correct to affirm that our age is given to unbelief. It Is given rather to care lessness in the literal sense of the word in regard to belief and often to inability to "believe. In this day of enlightenment there arc, indeed, wounds of knowledge; tho head sometimes hurts the heart. "It is far better for us, therefore, to think, not of doctrlneg which advancing knowledge has dissipated, but of the things which remain. Religion remains. not the aesthetic substitute which a per verted form of science sometimes offers in place of the great religious doctrines, but the genuine religion of the human heart. Nor has Increasing understanding of the universe weakened Its foundation. It ha destroyed ecclesiastical dogmas, but 'It has confirmed the basis of religion. It has given us higher conceptions of God. not. indeed, as an overruling but as an in-ruling power. Not as an Individual being whose form might In theory be seen of the eye. but as a spiritual reality of whom wo may logically think and whose presence we may feel, but who from his nature cannot be portrayed in the lan guage of the physical senses. Not as one who thrusts his influence ever and anon into the current of events at the behest of his disciples, but whose; power worketh through law in love.

The moral perfection of Jesus abides with us likewise as an example. It is. moreover, the sole logical and prac tlcal foundation of any belief in him. To believe In his Deity without an experi ential conviction of his moral and spir itual excellence Is no more than an alge braic proposition. On the other hand. to have this conviction renders any par ticular belief concerning his personality. Incidental and comparatively unimportant.

"Home Makers; Home Breakers." was Rev. William E. Randall's topic at the Central Baptist Church. East Ankeny and East Twentieth street?, at the evening service. - I "Home is the imperial kingdom," he said. "Its conception came from heaven; its establishment was wrought by the hand of Deity; its law Is love; Its over throw Is the supreme tragedy that comes to humanity. Home Is the shipyard where vessels are fitted for seas that are certain to be stormy at times. Patiently you lay the keel; amid prayers and hopes you shape the timbers; you dream of the successes that are to be achieved. Will the life grapple successfully with the waves? A peach Is colored In a few days for Its brief life. A person takes on the colorings of home throughout 20 years. for existence endless: I am a part of all I have ever met.' Oliver W. Holmes says, 'A man is an omnibus in which all his ancestors ride.' The extreme high tides come rolling in when the moon and the sun unite their attractions. The most favorable conditions for expanding youth arc realized when mother and father pull together for the welfare of the family. There is home-breaking as well as home-making. It Is a terrible thing when a skeleton walks forth and lays a with ering hand upon the sanctity of home. It Is Inexcusable for a wife to prove untrue. It is equally censurable for a husband to become recreant and false. The thrice- dead heart is the one In which love has been assassinated. For every Magdalene in perdition you can find a score of Phar isees who worked whispering tongues and spiked shoes for the hurting of human hearts. The fiend who strikes to taelr death character, hope, happiness, is as foul a murderer as Gugllelmo. There is home-breaking In the tasks thrown upon women by our competing age. Four hun dred and seventy-six women go out of American homes dally to earn bread as brick and tllemakers: 1,353 are miners and quarrymen; 1S3 are blacksmiths, J 67 are brick and stonemasons, liso are paint ers and varnishers. 20SS are In the saloon THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER Labor and Capital Should Annihilate Agitators. "Both labor and capital have alienable rights." said Dr. F. Burgette Short at Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning. "What moral right has capital to force me to work for a wage less than I am willing to accept? What moral right have I to interfere with you, if you are willing to work for the wages I refused? These combinations are wrong, on both sides. Why this commo tion and unrest? Agitators, unholy, un reasonable agitators on both sides. Cap ital pushing down. Laborers pushing up. Capital not satisfied with fair returns, labor not satsfled with reasonable wages. Stop, stop -your defying each other. Tou both belong to God. Tou are brothers. Silence these unholy agitators. Put the golden rule over your money drawer, on your pick and shovel, your briefs and manuscrltps, your cars and. wagons. Everywhere practice the rule Do unto others as you would that others do unto you. Capital is your friend and the saloon your enemy. "The industrious toiler does much to ward hastening the new heaven and the new earth. Pity the man with nothing to do. A wealthy French count was one day asked why he continued to work? He replied: 1 work, lest I may hang myself. The Teally industrious man gets more out of his work than dollars, He delights in his toil, rejoices In his ability to do, and through his doin rcacnes after uoa. iet us make an honest effort to gain the favor of econ omy. Systematic saving in banks, old line insurance and beneficial orders are doing untold good. And the church is the breadwinner's friend. The church Is not against us. It cheers us with song, multiplies our friendships. Increases our opportunities for Christian life, baptizes our children, marries our sons and' daugh ters, and buries our beloved dead. In the dark hours of sorrow and need, it comes as God's special angel of mercy." TELLS OF RAILROAD OF LIFE Dr. C. T. Wilson Speaks of Experi ences of Travel. At Grace Methodist Episcopal Church a large congregation assembled last night to hear Dr. Clarence True Wilson's ser mon, under the auspices of the Epworth League, to the Order of Railroad Con ductors on "Lessohs From Life's Rail road." Dr. Wilson took up the various experi ences one has In travel and compared them to similar facts In every life. He told of the advantages of the personally conducte'd excursion, but said it depended on the conductor, and recommended ths trip with Christ. He. referred to the hindrances and delays, missing of trains In life, conditions of buying tickets, ad vantage of counting the cost before start ing on a journey, and the necessity of showing tickets when called for. Railway junctions are points of di vergence and separation." went on the speaker. "People change cars here and ride together no more. There are corre sponding points all along the journey of life. Commencement junction separates the schoolmates of" years, and at be reavement Junction tho family parts, as we go dashing along a boy comes in with prize envelopes with some fortune In one of them, all for 23 cents. Many begin the gambling habit on this trip. We aro now nearlng the end of our journey. I have taken you on this imaginary trip because it so aptly illustrates human life. In a railway trip there is a humdrum of monotony, and yet constant change and variety in outlook, scenery and associates. So in the Journey of life. Now through broad acres of the ordinary and monot onous, now halting at some sightly sta tion of success, and now creeping through, some dark valley of affliction and sor row, now careering In the sunshine of ma turing plans and now halting for repairs In some stony gorge of affliction, through the dark valley, and finally into the dark tunnel of death. But to the weary trav eler, the rest of heaven will be all the sweeter because of the tolls and burdens of earth, and Its light will be all the. more welcome because of the darkness of tho tunnels .of death, out of which we shall emerge Into the blaze of everlasting day." SHOULD FIGHT PLAGUE SPOTS Peril af Public Conscience Becom ing; Seared. "Battles That Do Not Have to Bo Fought Again" was the subject of Rev. A. M. Rockwood's sermon last night at Highland Congregational Church. "There . Is a state of mind coming; from having yielded to temptation wbizh results in complete separation from God, a greater and greater obliv--ion to the demands of the higher life, the deadening: of conscience and in ability to perform the behests of con science, even if one wished to," said the preacher. "One of the great dan gers in allowing the gamblers and trrafters to control the government of tho city is that so many begin to think that such things are a necessary part of politics. The public conscience be comes seared, and grafters get ready for greater evils, for worse abuses and greater robberies, of which they would not othewlse have thought. Every sin brings a worse sin with it, because one's Ideals are lowered and moral sense seared. "The clerk who borrows money from the till and finds out that he cannot put it back in time to avoid discovery thinks that while he is at it he might as well make all he can. So he falsi fies the accounts and goes deeper into the mire. The city which puts away the plague spots seen today will not 'nave to fight the same thing; tomor row, but will be in a better position to fight the enemies that will then arise. All the sins that come from yielding" to that first temptation will be done away by victory over it. And it is not merely to the one who conies back with flying colors, but to the one who falls with hl3 face to the foe. that the promise is given. For he overcomes as truly as the one who survives tho battle." Missing Conductor Is Found. John F. McKIerman, of Chickasha, T.
