THE '3I0RXIXG OREGOXEAN, MONDAY,, JULY 3, 1905. 9 ' WOMEN SPEAK N CHURCHES Suffragists Fill Local Pulpits -and Deliver Eloquent Sermons. ADDRESS BY MISS Al!THONY Venerable 'Leader of Equal Rights Movement Speaks to Audience That Packs White Temple to the Doors. "When Rev. Anna H. Shaw, in greet ing the representatives of the Labor Union on the opening: day of the con vention, claimed that her members be longed to the Labor Union, as they, were the hardest workers in the coun try, she sounded a note of truth, for not even on Sunday did they get any rest. There have been morning, after noon and night sessions ever since the convention convened, and this after a four or five days Journey, which most of the delegates had to make to reach the Paclnc Coast, is strenuous even for women who arc energetic enough to want equal rights with their male pro tectors. Yesterday the various churches of Portland made urgent demands upon the many able women ministers and others of the delegates to occupy local pulpits and they cheerfully complied, even Miss Anthony consenting to make a short talk. There was a time but a few years distant that the pulpits of only Unitarian and Universallst Churches were opened to women min isters, but now the orthodox denomina tions are glad to have them preach and large congregations turn out to hear their sermons. Miss Anthony made her talk at the White Temple, and there was not room in the big church for another person to squeeze past the doors. Rev. Eleanor Gordon addressed the congregation of the First Unitarian in the morning and delivered the convention sermon in the after noon. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman charmpd Dr. E. L. House's morning con gregation by her eloquence and Rev. Antoinette Stone Blackwell stood in that pulpit in the evening and delivered a sermon with surprising vigor and earnestness. Miss Laura Clay gave a Bible reading at the Taylor-Street Methodist, and other mem bers attended various churches, going to the convention service at 4 o'clock. Delivers Eloquent Sermon. This convention service was thor oughly enjoyed bj the many who at tended it and the sermon which Rev. Eleanor Gordon delivered was one of the most eloquent heard during the Jay. Rev. Anna H. Shaw assisted her. and there was special music for the occasion. The event of the day, which drew out the greatest church gather ing seen in Portland for a long time, was the appearance of Miss Anthony at the White Temple. There wa such enthusiasm over the appearance of the venerable founder and leader of tho suffrage movement that when she ap peared on the rostrum the applause was as vigorous as though it had not been Sunday, nor the place a church. "Aunt Susan," as Portlanders are be ginning to affectionately call her, was feeling fine, and when Dr. Brougher gallantly extended the use of his pul pit for the exploitation of any doc trine which she had at hear, she took him at his word and got in a few of the best words for the suffrage ques tion which have been put to the Oregon public. Mrs. Gilman Speaks. Before Introducing Mrs. Gilman, who consented to address the congregation after Miss Anthony finished. Dr. Brougher called attention to tho fact that there were just as many men as women in his church, and sometimes more, put that he was nevertheless a firm advocate of equal rights for women. Mrs. Gllman's arguments are always invincible, and her perfect familiarity with the scriptures maTtes it impos- j slbie for a minister to take issue with her. She told the congregation first that she would suppose thorn all to be Christians, and asked If they did not think It an ignominious thing to be saved; and do nothing afterward. "Song and prayer and what we term worship come easier than the work of the six days of the week in which Christian acts . are to be done," she said. Rev. Eleanor Gordon., pastor of the First Unitarian Church of Des Moines, la., who preached the convention sermon at the First Congregational Church yesterday afternoon had a busy Sunday, as she de livered a sermon from Dr. George Cros well Cressey's pulpit in the morning and attended to other duties during the day. There was a large gathering of Unitarians to hear Rev. Miss Gordon, and her ser mon and delivery gave the greatest sat- Isfaction. "Revelations of God" was her text, which Bhe handled well from the Unitarian viewpoint. To quote briefly her conclusion, she said: "The thought of our relation to the uni verse about us -cannot but deepen our sense of personal responsibility. We, too, are factors in evolution. We. too, as well as God, have something to say about how things shall be. Professor James in his wonderfully interesting book, 'Varieties of Religious Experience,' quotes Anna Pesnnt as saying: 'Plenty of people wish well to any good cause, but few care to exert themselves to help It and still fewer will risk anything in Its support.' Someone ought to do it but why should 17 Is the ever re-echoed phrase of weakkneed amalbllity. 'Someone ought to do It, so why not I?' Is the cry o.f some earnest servant of man eagerly springing forward to face some perilous duty. Be tween these two sentences lie whole cen turies of moral evolution." Bible Reading by Miss Clay. Miss Laura Clay, of Kentucky, one of the auditors of he National convention, gave a Bible reading at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church last night, and claimed that the Bible teaches equal rights from Genesis to Revelations. She supported this claim by numerous passages, begin ning with the first chapter of Genesis. "God created man. male and female and gave them dominion." Another passage which Miss Clay made serve as a salient point in her reading was from St. John and Is used as the motto of the Kentucky State Equal Rights: "If ye abide my words then are ye truly my disciples, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall makeyou free." Many others were quoted by her to emphasize that liberty is a Charlstlan hope and a promlso of Christ. St.- Paul, she said, who Is often quoted in opposition to equal rights, has summed up ths whole Christian doctrine of liberty Jn that portion of Galatlans where he says: "For ye brethren are called, for freedom, only use not your free dom fon an occasion to the flesh, but th-ough love be sen-ant one to another for the whole law Is fulfilled in one word even In this thou shalt love they neigh bor as thy self." Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a dele gate to the convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association filled the pulpit during the mornlne services at the First Congregational Church. Mrs. Gilman took for her text Rom. xiv:7. Her sermon was. little short of a classic and was listened to- with interest by a con gregation that filled the church. - After quoting that "no man llveth to himself, or dieth to hlmtftlf," tho speak er stated that the God who rules over the universe, ruled over it ages and ages ago. not only over tho American nation, but over every nation. She followed the course of religious belief down to the present day and compared it to a great reservoir, stagnant because it held more than it gave out. This she contended was the fault of today. Men and women believe thoroughly in religion, have plenty of re ligion, but do not apply it. God, she said. Is Just as strong In business as he is In any of the affairs of the universe. The great reservoir that held this great reli gion, had only a small trickling stream running from It. Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, who shared the pulpit of this church at the evenlng.service with the pastor, preached a ffhort sermon which she made as some thing of a connecting link between Mrs. Gllman's morning address and Dr. House's which followed. That xcrsc in Proverbs xxvli, "As In water face an swereth to-face, so the heart of man to man," proved an appropriate topic for this purpose, and from I Corinthians she took her text on Immortality. Where Mrs. Gilman has dwelt upon the lives of tho human race collectively, showing that every act was far-reaching in its effect, good or bad. Mrs. Blackwell dwelt upon the Individuality of every character, who. while a part of a great body has a special work and a special character of Its own to develop Irrespective of its effect on tho masses. In speaking of how we are each differentiated from the infinite Mrs. Blackwell claimed that It can, be accumu latively demonstrated that though of the infinite llfo he has conditioned each one of us through our own inherent corella tions to work In accordance with our own constitution, and that we therefore must have an Immortal personality. Men Who Come From Over the World to See the Exposition. H. Wcinstock, business man author, lec turer, of Sacramento. Qal., and senior member of the firm of Wcinstock. Lubin & Co., of lhat city and San Francisco, is at the Hobart-Curtis. ccompanied by his family, devoting some time to a visit to Portland and Oregon. Mr. Wcinstock came into prominence several years ago as author of a semi-religious book. "Jesus, "the Jew." and is known to Pacific Coast people for his progressiveness in efforts tending toward attainment of higher ideals In civic affairs, and who believes that the highest duty of Americans is fealty to responsibilities of citizenship. "I have always been a warm advocate or the business man in politics." said he, last evening, "not as a candidate for office, but as a factor In bringing about a correct expression of public sentiment and endeavoring to help form such senti ment along the right lines. As a rule, the typical business man at his fireside de plores political conditions that exist in so many states and cities, but Is unwilling to give of his time or thought to better such conditions. That Is a grave mistake.' and resulta in tho situation that while, by virtue of his Intelligence, influence and ability, he ought to be among the best of citizens and by best citizen I mean one who unselfishly takes an active Interest In the civic welfare of his community and his commonwealth as a matter of fact because of his neglect of-c these chic duties he is often the worst. I do not know whether that Is true of Portland, but It la of Sacramento. "As an illustration, we attempted at the time of the last municipal election Hiere to start a mo-ement for improved condi tions In which It was desired business men should bo the active members. It was impossible to find one who would take the leadership, some pleading lack of time from business, others asserting Ignorance of politics and unwillingness to learn, and still others Interposing as a reason promises made to their wives to keep out of politics. As a rule, there Is no greater coward than the typical busi ness roan. "We have one organization In Sacra mento, however, comparatively new. and that promises important results. That Is a Law and Order League, which has In Its service a paid executive officer whoso duty It Is to Investigate as an expert all cic- and county disbursements, with a view of disclosing any petty grafting that may be going on among officials. Work of this officer has terrorized the official grafters, and Is likely to have a very re straining influence In preventing future grafting. , "To Callfornians, Oregon at this season of the year makes a delightful Impression, especially to thofe coming from the val-lev- and arid sections of the state. Very few Callfornians have any true conception of Oregon or Its possibilities. They really underestimate Its resources and attrac tiveness, and It seems to me that the greatest show Oregon has to offer visitors to the Fair is Oregon. I think I have run across a score of Callfornians who have expressed themselves delighted with everything, climate, exhibits, the state, and all are going home walking adver tisements of this state, I have attended many expositions but none other so at tractive as this. "Portland is a splendid city, and I have been Impressed with the goodly number of churches. Indicating that while this may be an open town It L not an alto gether -un-odly town. "There Is a great forward movement In the arid valleys of California.. Hereto fore the chief Improvements have been In the southern part of our state, in the vi cinity of Los Angeles, due to large ex penditures in Irrigation enterprises, but more recently attention has been called to Nortnern California, especially the Sacramento Valley. Not only have pri vate capitalists begun to Invest large sums In Irrigation projects, but tho Fed eral Government has become Interested In Its development, and indications are that In the near future the Government at Washington will expend mllllona on en terprises in this part of California. This, together with tne advent of a competing railroad, the Western Pacific, .means that the growth of that part of the state In the next decade will surprise the most sanguine. "To my mind, no movement in that part of California can command much atten tion without favorably affecting Oregon as well, for many people who will be brought to California from Eastern oolnts will visit Oregon as well.

IN CITY'S CHURCHES Bishop-Coadjutor Lloyd Holds Opening Services. VISITING CLERGYMAN HERE Special Musical Programmes In Sev eral Houses of Worship Noted Women Speak to Large Congregations. Rev. F. E. J. Lloyd. D. D recently elected bishop-coadjutor of the pioccsc of Oregon, held his opening public serv ices yesterday in Portland; at St. David's Episcopal Church, at 10:5). and again In St. Mark Church in the e'ening. At St. David's Church, Dr. Lloyd was BRIGADrER-GENERAL GREELY HERE, EX ROUTE TO ALASKA. Brigadier-General A W. Greely. chief !gnal officer of the United States Army, arrived In Portland last evening on the Northern Pacific "from the East. General Greely will remain in this cltyr several days, and will then leave for Seattle where he will take pasaue for Alaska-. He will remain In the North for two months, inspecting the Government telegraph lines along the Tukon and in the vicinity of Nome. General Greely. who is nccompanlM by his daugh ter. Miss Greely, of Washington, and Miss Falrbank, of Chicago. Is visiting Mrs. Lewis L. McArthur on Gllsan street. greeted by a largo congregation., most of the membership from SL Mark's Church joining In this service. Frederick Goodrich had charge of the music, and Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. D., rec tor, was In charge of the services. The chancel had been tastefully decorated in honor of the coadjutor-bi.hop-elect. Dr. Lloyd spoke briefly, but with great force from the- passage of scripture. "Ye are complete in him." He held up Christ as the all In all for the people of the world, and to know, him In truth Is above everything else. Bishop Lloyd said he was not a pessimist, and derlarcd that he had faith In the human race, and .in Its ultimate uplifting through the power of the gospel of Jesus Chris-l. The sermon was purely gospel and was mainly spoken to the church. Dr. Lloyd did not go near the altar. butrstood directly in front of the platform, where" he repeated his text and delivered his forcible and elo quent sermon without manuscript or note, speaking with ease, fiuency and polish. Following the services In the church Dr. Lloyd repaired to the parish house on East Morrison street, where for half an hour he was Introduced to the people by Dr. VanWaters. Last night the congre gation of St. David's Church again heard tho bishop In St. Mark's Church. It wns announced from the pulpits yes tcrday that a general reception will be tendered Dr. Lloyd and wife this evening at BIshopcroft. the home of Bishop B. Wlstar Morris. Who Bishop-Coadjutor Is. Bishop Lloyd Is a young-looking man. and Is very impressive on the platform. He comes to the Dlocee of Oregon from Unlontown. Pa. He was born in Wales about 46 years ago. Is the son of a clergy man, a graduate of Merton College. Ox ford. England, and wns ordained to the dlaconato In 1SS2 by the Lord Bishop of Oxford, and at once offered hlmnflt as a mlssloner, and he said: "I want you to give me a hard field a region where there Is real work and plenty of It." and ho was sent to the Diocese of New foundland and Labrador, where for many years he experienced many hardships and privations. Later h came to the United States, and was rector at Bloomlngton, 111., Hamilton, O., and then at Cleve land. O. A Cleveland paper says of Dr. Lloyd, "Rev. F. E. J. Lloyd, rector of St. Paul's Church, Is In the public eye from two points of view as a minister and a musi cian. He is a doctor of music as well as a minister. Dr. Lloyd Is a forclful speaker. Of late he has aimed many sermons at the laxity of the divorce laws. He believes that the Episcopal Church should take a firm stnnd against divorce and never hesitates to say so." Dr. Lloyd Is the kind of man that es pecially appeals to. men. Furthermore, he knows how to adapt himself to all sorts and conditions of men. being eounl ly at home with the poor and with the rjch. He Is an extemporaneous speaker, with a strong musical voice, exceedingly varied In Its modifications. He Is a man of executive ability and capable of hand ling large matters. He will make a worthy successor of the present worthy and beloved bishop of Oregon. In the evening Bishop Lloyd preached to a large congregation at St. Mark's Church. Nineteenth and Qulmby. from the text, "After YouShall Be Given to "Know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven." He was In splendid voice, and his remarks were listened to with the closest attention. The Judge and the Criminal. Rev. Henry T. Atkinson, pastor of the Epworth M. E. Church, corner of Twenty third and Irving streets, preached yes terday morning upon the subject of "The Judge and the Criminal." His text was Genesis. xvlli:25. "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" "Sodom had become hopelessly corrupt" he said In part, and God bad pronounced' upon It the sentence of destruction by fire, then Abraham pleaded with God for the city, and In the course of hla plead ing he asked. 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right.' "The" attitude of Abraham was the result of his ignorance of the extent of the crimes of the inhabitants of Sodom, and It was also caused by his sympathy for the Inhabitants, some of -which wer relatives of his own. the attitude of God was that of unerring Justice, which was the result of knowledge, for he had evi dences In proof of the fact that there was not a single righteous soul In tho city, riot even Lot. who was saved not for his own, but for Abraham's sake. The other day In Salem a petition was filed in the Governor's office for tho pardon of a man who was undergoing a sentence for murder. It was signed by a number of men who did not know a great deal about the case, but they were like Abraham In that their sympathies had been excited In the Interests of the prisoner: another petition, however, was also filed which protested against the release of the prisoner because Its sign ers were men who knew him, who had lived In the same community with him. and the destruction of Sodom teaches that fact and not sympathy should de termine Justice. "Human "Judgment Is often affected by a sort of one-sldM sympathy. A mur derer Is deluged with flowers, while his victim seems to be forgotten. A brute in human guise Is arrested for wife-beating, and given some of his own medicine, but not without protest from some who seem to forget the poor victim" with bruised eyes and swollen face and bat tered body and helpless, terrified chil dren, yet Justice when executed always results In mercy. One murderer who suf fers means less murder committed, ono wife beater properly punished means the protection -of other wives. There Is no nobler, grander, more Godlike virtue un der heaven than that of human sym pathy in behalf of the oppressed, but when it shows Itself in the perversion of Justice or In the effort to pervert It it then becomes a blot upon humanity, a sign . of weakness, and not of strength. Human Judgment may sometimes result In a miscarriage of Justice, but when God pronounces sentence, even the conscience of the criminal attests the fact that the Judge of all the earth Is right At Central Baptist Church. "The world Is made richer by the pres ence xf ever-," business man who battles the sentiment that success demands con formity to questionable methods. Tho world Is made fairer and freer by every editor who rises supreme above the man dates of men. resists flatteries and rcg-J Isters convictions upon great questions. The world Is made better by men and women who reject the dictates of super ficial society." Rev. William E. Randall, of the Cen tral Baptist Church, made this remark In the course of his sermon last night on "The Perils of Public Sentiment; Nes. esslty for Developing Backbone." The address was founded on the llfc-story of Daniel, and the character of the an cient statesman was dcllnlated. He said further: "A man's future Is not forecasted by surveylng his surroundings, but by sur veying the man himself. You ennnot grow a genuinely victorious life out of slipshod purposes. It has never come to pass that a 'good fellow has become a great character. Scan the ages! The great souls, the pioneers of progress, have lifted above public sentiment. "What the late John Hay was In Amer ican public life, closely related to Ad ministration after Administration, rising from an unknown boy to become the first adviser of two Presidents. Daniel, a Hebrew captive, was to the courts of Babylon and Persia. The secret of his success was the conviction that led Luth er to challenge public sentiment, cultivate Individuality, and turn the religious streams of his age. The same secret that sent Roger Williams Into the wild erness In the midst of a New England Winter. "Be a little drift or detritus: let cir cumstances sweep you on Into the ocean of a forgotten past! No! Be a brave, heroic spirit; challenge public sentiment, and live on through the ages! Wrecks of manhood and womanhood. In the streets, dashed at our feet, decoyed by false lights! Why? The unforunates drifted. "It will cost you something to be a non-conformist to the mandates of pub lic sentiment Do not Imagine that men go upward on slopes of flowers to pre eminence. Every great soul has been compelled to break with his age and reap erlsIon. "Take a man's position and a man's part In the great enterprise of living. j You will play a worthy part in the drama j of human destiny. The world will be better because you have passed along it avenues." llexter Quackcnbush Dead.

Taken Strides Toward Metropolitanism. CHANGES. OF FIVE YEARS Better and More Efficient FIro and Police Departments Great Im provements In the Streets and Highways. The past five years Portland has ex perienced the change from a village to a city. The demands upon it have been very great. Evry department of the municipal government has felt it, and It 'has required the most vigilant and at the same time conservative effort on the part of those In charge. On January 1 of this year there were reported In place In the city 33.16 miles of wooden sidewalk and 154.SI miles .of cement walk. Of this last amount 136.51 miles was constructed during the last five years, and 113.73 miles was construct ed during the years 1903 and 1004. The sidewalk problem Is settled. The districts In which no more wooden walks shall be laid have been established, and the law governing the construction of hard-surface walks enacted. This law was drafted and enacted during the administration of H. S. Rowe. There was in place January 1, 1005. 15.0S miles of hard surface streets. One third of this amount of this pavement was laid during the years 1503 and 1S01. and more than half as much more Is now In course of construction. The old pave ments on Third street. Sixth street. Mor rison street and Washington street; have been repaired and put In excellent condi tion. The Impovcd methods of construct ing street railway tracks consisting of the grooved rail laid In cement and stone block surface, has been adopted. This was accomplished by the. officers of the city a;vd was- not a voluntary act on the part of the railway companies. Portland has more than IIS miles of macadam and gravel strcts. of which Soi miles were laid In 1S93-L One of the most perplex ing problems of Mayor Williams' Admin istration was the dilapidated roadways and bridges. East Water street and East Washington street and nearly all the small gulches In South Portland . spanned by wooden bridges have been filled. Steel bridges have. been built over ' Marquam's Gulch at First and Front 1 street and orer Balch Gulch on Thur man street All remaining bridges and and provision has been made for perma- nent improvements In the future. The ' old bridge cosslng the Willamette River 1 at Morrison street has been replaced with the new bridge which Is equal to any bridge on the Pacific Coast. Greater facilities for crossing the river have been provided by additional ferries at Scllwood and Alblna. Fire Department. The fire department has received the most particular attention. The fire boat was built during the administra tion of Mayor Williams at a cost of about $65,000. It is admitted to be : superior to any fire boat In the United States, costing even 25 per cent more and in some details it has no cqua The dock and fire boathouse were con structed out of the ordinary income of the city. Both are excellent, the equip ment Is the best and the boat Is In serv ice under a very competent crow. The city has also -In sen-Ice the two largest and best fire engines on the Pacific Coast; in fact they are not equaled on the Coast. One was purchased under Mayor Rowe's administration, and one I under Mayor Williams' administration. The whole department has first-class hose and apparatus. The fire stations have all been repaired and are in good condition. Five years ago they were falling In upon the occupants and the foundations and floors were so rotten that It was dangerous to take the ap paratus In and out. The department nas been changed to a fully paid and fully equipped department and Is to day considered by competent nuthorlty to be one of the very best In the coun try. Police Department. Tne police force has been increased from less than CO to 127 members. The city Is as free from crime as any clty in the United States of similar location and population. Regardless of criti cism of details, the record of arrests during the past three years Is com mendable. The department has dono excellent work. Its officers are well drilled. well dressed and present the appearance of a first-class department The city jail!

Street-Cleaning Department. The street cleaning department has a small force but Its service is effective. Its horses show care. Its brooms, sprink lers and carts are the best and are kept up to date. The barn Is clean, well kept and everything Is in order. There are no loafers" or idlers about and as a whole Is Inviting and deserving of inspection. City Hall.
