THE MORJOXG ORXGOX IA3T, CONBAT, IXEOEMBER 18, 1905. 13 TURN THEM LOOSE JRev. A. L. "Black Would Rid Church of the Unworthy. GIVES HOMELY COMPARISON Sermon Delivered by Portland ras ters on Various Themes In the Houses of "Worship of Tills City. "Getting Into churoh hag been and Ik too easy. In our too zealous ef forts to get a large membership we have often been like the two darkles who chased a wildcat. After much effort they Anally cornered the cat In a hollow log, and Sambo went Into It io bring: out the prize. Ills comrade, noting that he did not come out again, called to hlm.'Is you gjt lm. Sambo? A smothered answer came back from the hollow losr: 'Yas-slr-eee. hone, I'se got Mm. but the thing that I want now Is fur somebody to help me turn lm loose! I think that erery honest minister and every honest church must admit that they have already mem bers whom they .would like the best In the world to turn loose. If they could," said Rev. A. L. Black, of Cal vary Baptist Church, In his sermon yesterday. "The church that Is In too great haste to "pull In the sinner before the blush of new life Is seen in his char acter will not only have a bitter mor sel, but may suffer the pangs of. church colic" He ppoke last night In th Calvary Bap tist Church, East Side, on the topic, "Peo ple Who Are Not Wanted in the Church." Ho said that it might be trance to say. but there -wero some people whom the church did not want, and the quicker they found it out and got out, the better it will be. Mr. Black said it was erroneous to say that the church was after every man no matter what his character, for what could be got out of, him. He said that ' Christ wanted to save every man, but wanted him saved before he. gets into the j church. j "Out of place." paid Mr. Black, "are the unconverted, the man who unites with the church for solfislr purposes, the hypocrite, the peculiar man, the crank. the dishonest, man. the sponger, the church tramp, the faul Hinder, the self righteous. O Lord, help us to turn all such loose, and hereafter keep all such out of the Church of Christ. "The business of the church is to fight t!n and to do so phe must have men who hate sin. Two boys were fighting on the street, or rather, one boy was fighting and the other was calmly taking his blows: a passcr-by said, 'What's the mat ter. Johnnie; why do you not strike back? But the boy replied, T ain't seen nothln' to fight about yet.' The trouble with us is that wc have too many in the church who see nothing to fight for. Tt the saloons run, permit gambling, sanc tion Sunday desecration, let the money monger steal. say 'they. 'I sec nothing to fight about-! " FOR THIS MASTER'S USJS. Rev. E. S. Muckley Warns Against Spiritual Selfishness. "Ready for the Master's Use" was the subject of the sermon at the First Chris tian Church by 13. S. Muckley, pastor. It was one of a series Rev. Mr. Muckley Is preaching In preparation of his church for a series of evangelistic services be ginning December 31, under the leader ship of Evangelist S. M. Martin, of the Christian Church. Mr. Muckley said In part: "Our highest aim should be to be ready for the Master's use. Our Lord wants to use us for the extension of his kingdom. Spiritual selfishness Is the most dangcr our form of selfishness. The man who is a Christian for the sole purpose of sav ing himself is in danger of losing him self. The man who forgets he is saved to be an instrument in saving others, who forgets he has been blessed to become a channel of blessing to others, docs not have the spirit of the apostle who be came all things to all men that he might by all means save some. God will save the world, not by good men as such but by Chrlst-indwelled men. Wc are not ready for use until the world sees Christ, a great Savior, in us. It isn't big men. big evangelists, big preachers, who will have the world, but a big Christ mani fested In our lives. "Prayer has a great place In our "prep aration. It shows the spirit of devotion, the spirit of consecration to a high and holy purpose. Because It demonstrates th spirit of humility, giving God the glory, in whose strength and wisdom and goodness we become hl Instruments. Be cause It develops the spirit of courage. I am afraid to live without prayer a sin gle day. I am not afraid of hell. Its fear Is no motive with me; but I do not have courage to live my life and fight my bat tles without prayer. "In prayer we can be united. My text says. 'These all with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer.' We may be di vided in doctrines or methods, but we can unite in prayer, for wc do not nut our doctrines Into our prayers, but our hopes, our loves, our faith, our devotion, our high and holy purpose and our com mon needs, Let us be of. one accord these two weeks In prayer for our revival and God will give us great victory In the saving of souls." BUSINESS AND CHRISTIANITY Dr. Rcppc Says That Both Should Be Considered as One. A very small per cent of the business of this country is done according to Chris tian precepts." said Rev. W. H. Hoppe, D D., In the course of his sermon, yfcs tcrda morning, at Centenary M. E. Church, on "Society and Christianity's Impossibles." He spoke from Psalms lxxxv:ll. "Truth shall spring out of the earth." The sermon was an appeal for a union and observance of the precepts of Christ with the affairs of the earth, and that business and affairs of the earth should be squared with Christianity. "This may seem impossible," said Dr. Heppe. "but It is the Impossible (hat we are after. Three prominent business men in an Eastern city were discussing the per cent of business done according to Christian principles In this country. One said that 10 per cent did business that way. Another said 5 per cent. And the other said that the last estimate was too high. I doubt. Indeed, if 10 per -cent of business is done on Christian principles. This Is because It is thought there Is no relations between business and religion, but there Is a very close relation between the two, and It is attainable. Is not Im possible. But in the world It Is the Xa poleons of finance that are the most prominent, and In the realms of fashion the splendor Is more In evidence than ever.

Jllld tmiRt lio Timns-ht iiKmtt tn Tw In harmony with the Sormon on the Mount." DOUBT THEME OP SERMOX Dr. Gilbert Speaks of It as Saddest Tragedy or Human Life. Taking John xxUl. "Be not faithless, but believing," for his text. Rev. William S. Gilbert preached at Calvary Presby terian Church yesterday morning. In part he said: "The real springs of human life arc in the souf. There are determined our be liefs "and our actions. There Is In the soul a freedom that Is our own. In the main wc go where wc want to go. We do what we want to do; wc believe what we want to believe; wc arc what wc waut to be. "When Christ exhorted Thomas to be not faithless but bcllovlng, he knew, and Thomas knew that in his soul he had the power of being cold-hearted, skop tlcal. faithless, or warm-hearted and be lieving. Faith Is not no much an act of the mind as an attitude of the heart. "What is doubt? It Is the negative, the minus quantity, the destructive element. It Is In a way essential to faith, but of Itself Is simply destructive. Galileo doubt ed that the earth was flat, but he did not stop until he had constructed a better faith. He doubted the false and found the truth. His doubt did. not make hlra faithless, but faithful. "The saddest tragedy in human life la when a man questions, then negatives the existence, the goodness, the wisdom, the love of God, and becomes a man without faith; cuts the anchor-chain that binds him to the true, the eternal, the divine and sets adrift In God's world, as did Thomas, with no other cry In his soul than this, "I will not believe.' On life other hand, there is no greater victory than this, which ovcrcomcth the world even our faith. It Is a haven indeed for a man to know deep- in his soul that God cares for us. Every man has Jn him the power of winning that victory or of turn ing his life into that tragedy. Two men hear the same truth of God's love; one hears gladly, with warm heart: the othor with cold heart turns away. It is not a matter of difference In evidence or of truth and falsity. The difference Is In the soul of the two men. After th evi dence is all In, one man becomes a Chris tian, another blasphemes. "Reality does not depend upon our real ization of 1L Only those arc conscious of the electric waves, everywhere present, who use them, wireless telegraphy tells us. Sympathy with the truth Is a -necessary condition to its realisation. "A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion stllL' In face of all evidence we still may be faithless or bcliex'lng as the heart inclines. Christian truth is truth whether wc accept It or not. "How can one upon whom these reali ties make little or no impression come to the vivid realization of them? The answer is this: 'Be not faithless, but believing. Let him come nearer to the fire and warm up his heart a little. It is a good thing to learn to doubt our doubts and believe our beliefs. Too often wc doubt our beliefs and believe our doubts. "At anv rate, the thing to do is to have n warm heart toward things 'true and right: to have a 'real faith in God and his goodness." PLEADS FOR DAY OF' REST: Rev. F. BurRcttc Short on the Work insman's Ssnday. ' Dr. F. Burgotte Short made a. plea for a Sunday of rest for the laboring, man, at the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church "last night. He asserted that not only from the standpoint of religion, but because of better results in a practical way. the man who works six days in each week should have the seventh set aside as a time to rest. He said, in part: "I plead fo"r the laboring man a day of rest in each week. God ordained this, and it is fundamental to his well-being. Even a machine can do better service as a. re sult of rest cooling off the boxes and a cessation of the vibration and tear. Much more need these frail bodies rest. I do not and cannot lay the blame for Sunday labor npon the workingmen. They do not work simply for the extra pay: they work because great, heartless corporations and greedy employers compel them to work. It is work on Sundays or lose the job. You say. 'Lose the Job. But necessity Is upon the man. He has a family to sup port, .and fceaslng to work on Sunday means hunting a sew &lacc Iocs of wage and privation of home comforts. With all my soul I want to say the average man docx not choose Jx work on the Sabbath. Necessity is laid upon him. "I also recognize that Puritanical rules cannot be laid down and kept. This les son Christ taught when he' rebuked those nonsensically strict old hypocrites, the Pharisees and scribes. He said It is law ful to do good on the Sabbath day. Every thing that means the betterment of men is In absolute harmony with Christ's prin ciple as regards Sunday labor. But these have to do with works of mercy and help. But what right, moral right, has any man to run his factory, his business, and there by deprive his employes of a day lor rest, recreation and An opportunity to worship God? Drugstores do not need to be open all day on Sunday They might cIom; long enough to allow the employed to at tend churclu That they should be open to ll drugs a part of the day I believe is right. But what right, and where the good of having our saloons and cigar stands open? H The religion of Jesus is one of helpful ness for the entire man and for the entire race, and not a mere conformity to rule and law. But for the simple purpose of GRAIN VESSELS EN ROUTE Name.

The Word May Be TAvlstcd to Suit Different People. Philadelphia Ledger. "Ambition" Is one of those strange words which convey every shade of mean ing, from the highest wisdom" and virtue to the rankest folly and lice. We may have the "divine ambition" of Hamlet and Macbcth's ''vaulting ambition, which o'crleaps itself and falls on the other side." Curiously enough, the word Is not found In the authorized version of the Bible, although it is common In Shakes pease. In its primary signification It con noted -nothing sinister. It merely meant the "itolng about" soliciting votes for of fice, a perfectly legitimate proceeding, even if attended with danger of corrup tion.

How he got ashoro is a mystery for the two immigra tion guards watching- the crew of the Croydon assert that they patroled Ocean ic dock all night, and they never saw him make the leap necessary to land him on the wharf. Possibly he went over the rail on the river side, where he might eas ily have been picked up by friends In a small boat. Hue On Is said to have been in this port many times before on the German liners operated by the Portland & "Asiatic Com pany, and it Is believed that he had fa miliarized himself with conditions so as to mako his escape possible.
