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. We marshal millions of soldiers

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

' USES OF AMBITION.
The Word May Be TAvlstcd to Suit

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. But the illegal and corrupt can

"ambitus." not "amblllo," and was a
penal offense In Roman days, as It is,
nominally, nowadays.
From such a simple "going about" to so
licit votes came a word which conveys
either approval or blame, as It Is uttered
in commendation or rebuke' When we
call a man "ambitious we may mean
that he has a. wholesome desire to achieve
some Ideal end, or we may mean that he
has devilish determination to stop at
nothing in order to . secure his own ag
grandizement. Washington's ambition
was to make his country free and inde
pendent, .0 that liberty might be enjoyed
by the humblest. Napoleon's ambition
was to enslave Europe and bring monarch-
to their knees before the footstool
of a Corsican adventurer.
This variableness in the meaning of a.
word, often dependent upon a mere In
flection of voice, the raising or lowering
of pitch, the slightest possible change of
emphasis in tone, really Indicates the ex
istence of a great truth. It implies that
the borderland between virtue and vice Is
often debatable ground. Love may be the
most elevated and pure affection or the
more degraded lust. Pride may be a most

the jrrcat disgust- of the immigration in

Captain Burgess claimed the fuel was

Bnrglars Bob Turner Store.
SALEM, Or.. Dec 17.-(SpeciaI.)-The
general merchandise store of H. I. Earl
at Turner was broken open last night and
goods of the value of $73 taken. It is
supposed the 'crime was committed by
tramp?, many of which class have been
hanging around Turner for some time.
The burglary was not discovered until
late today and It is probable the thieves
got several hours start on a southbound
freight. The goods taken consisted chief
ly of pocket knives, scissors, silver
spoons ami -similar articles that could
be easily concealed. The Sheriff has sent
messsages to all important southern
.cities in an effort to apprehend the
robbers.
