5 CHURCHES
It
Dr. Wise Declares They Prefer
ihe Rich Sinners to the
Poor Saints.
11IS SCATHING REBUKE
JFof-IIizcd and Mummified, We As
serts, the Houses, or God Have
,. Lost Their Power and'FoI
lowilnstead of Lead.
"The churches really prerer rich sinners
to poor 'paints." The foregoing- remark
made by Dr. Stephen S. Wise was the
essence of a scathing arraignment of the
churches delivered by him at the Temple
Beth Israel last night. He spoke on "Is
ihe Moral Suprcmary of the Churches in
Danger?" He said that the churches
were fossilized, and that they had lost
their power for pood. T-lke nearly every
thing else In this country, he said that
Tmoncy was th6 real power behind the
throne, and that more attention was paid
to wealth than the saving of souls.
There was an unusually large assem
blage present at the services at the Tem
ple Beth Israel last night. In view of the
recent stand Dr. "Wise has taken on the
question of "unmuzzled pulpits," a sensa
tion:?! address was expected, and those
who anticipated Mich were not disappoint
ed. The pointed and bold remarks of Dr.
IWU;e created a deep impression upon all.
Dr. Wise's Address.
He said, in parti
"Many will hold that the b Alter way to
-phrase my question would he 'Is the
Moral Supremacy of the Church Irrepara
bly Lost?' All the churches alike must
-meet this question, and Christendom, in
addition, must meet the challenge of the
Buddhist-religion and morals which were
brought before the world as a result of
the Russo-Japanese War.
3fo Longer Agent of 3fora1 Reform.
"Alas, the church has almost ceased to
be the agent of moral reform In the world.
The great moral victories of late years
liavc been won-by forces other than the
church. The churches still imagine that
they command, when In truth they really
follow. The tolerance and sufferance
which the churches meet they accept as
Blgn and symbol of authority. The forces
imperiling the moral supremacy of the
church arc not without the church.
"In the first place, the churches are fos
silized and mummified. The churches are
not of today. They live In the past and
the future, not In the present. The
churches ought to sciolizc less about di
vinity, and render greater eervice to hu
manity ntto concern themselves not with
thir original claims of authority, but
wiili the utilization of present-day oppor
tunities io render service to men.
Says Churches Arc Mammonized.
"FranklJ.nl the bicentenary of whose
birth was celebrated in Portland "Wednes
day, complained in those days of those
preachers who.Im more to make us sec
tarians, than pood citizens. The churches
are other, worldly, instead of being this
worldy. making for the paralysis of
moral effort through the reign of hells
and wrong and injustice on earth today
by th promise of heaven tomorrow. The
monastic systems, which arc the logical
result of the other worldlinfess of the
nhmches. the Gospel and the Word of
God which the churches preach today are
not In relation to the needs and problems
of men.
"In the next place, the churches are
mammonized. commercialized, over-borne
and overshadowed by riches, with the
blighting result that the poor are banished
Strom the churches. Henry George in his
Menace of Privilege holds that the poor
carpenter of Nazareth would be shown to
the door if he entered into a. rich and
fashionable church of today. He tells the
story of a sexton of the Grace Church,
or New York, who is said to have found
an old woman coming into the church to
pray. lie s-iiowed her to the door, and
explained his action in the words, 'the
next thing they will be praying all over
the place.
Prerer Rich Sinners.
"The churches really prefer rich sinners
to poor saints. The churches pile up
funds instead of building up characters,
when they ought to try to make men and
not money. As a result of "the fossiliza
tlon and immunization, the church is in
bondage. It Is in twofold bondage; Intel
lectual and moral.
"The moral supremacy of the church
is not irreparably lost. The paradise of
moral supremacy may be" regained by the
churches. If but they will live in the pres
ent, throw off the yoke of mammon and
deal with moral questions of every char
acter In a supremely -moral- way. Re
ligion, sis Mrs. Browning said, 'Is all or
3t Is nothing." When again it becomes
all. the moral supremacy of the church
will forever be re-established."

WRITES THE OAS COMPANY
31 RS. J. K. HOWARD SENDS PER
T1XEXT COMMUNICATION.
She Says "Give Us Better and
Cheaper Gas and Mail Us
Our Kills.'
Mrs. J. R. Howard, of-05 Northrup street,
ha written the fol'owrlnr tetter tothe Port
land Gas Company:
V Gentlemen Tour circular letter Qt.jilhc Sth
is hereby duly acknowledged, and klncc you
have thus opened up the matter between u,
I will state my view of It In general, and also
relate my personal experience, r
First of all, what The Oregonlan might y
about your company and Its methods could not
do you the slightest injurr were their state
ments fafcw or without foundation, for the
average person is not apt to accept as gorpel
everything- that appears in Its page, tut when
lt assertlond are only the expression of your
onu unvoiced sentiments and that of numer
ous other, and your experience a verification
of its published word, then certainly the Gas
Company may feel some alarm for its repu
tation nnd safety. No matter what motive
may le back of the campaign; the facts remain
true to. a greater or less extent and constitute
the only danger that threaten the company.
Take the first item, then the payment of
a $5 deposit for the meter and the conse
quent revenue to the -company In itself a
handsome capital upon which to conduct Its
business. Other corporations furnish their own
capital entirely; why should the public be
called upon to contribute to the maintenance
of gas companies in particular? The excuse
of possible loss of or damage to the meter In
entirely inadequate, since, if that were a
Justification, thousands of other business con
cerns could put forth, similar claims.
Next, the price of gas; I will confess thst
as a woman and one ignorant to a srreat
extent of the Jaw go-ernlng corporations and
matters concerning tock, dividends, etc, I
do not feel qualified to criticize on this point,
and can only state that to my untutored brain
it would appear that the rortiand Gas Com
pany has had an equal chance with those of
other cities and should have been able to keep
abreast of them instead of being about the
last to reduce its "rates. A veritable "moss
back I"
Again, the quality of the gas: This in
where I feel perfectly at home and have not
the slightest hesitation in endorsing every word
that has appeared in The Oregonlan, as well
as cartoons, letters from consumers, etc., and.
to use the plainest English, It is "rotten."
and a very decided menace to one's health")
if not tx one's life itself.
Lastly, the Illogical size of the bills: ,The
variation in their size from time to time Is
In no way to be accounted for in reason, since
It seldom corresponds to the facts In It s con
sumption. As to the satisfaction to fce' de-.
rived." from entering a complaint, my verdict
Js "absolutely none." Tou send a. man up ,io
re-read the meter or substitute another in Us
place. 1 call again and am told jpu could"
find no mistake. There is "no appeal from thla
decision. I pay my bill as originally Tendered
apd lose the discount because the time limit
has expired! '
To sum up. the only reason there .has been
no agitation, no upheaval before, was doubtless
because each one felt the futility of attacking,
single-handed eo rich and powerful a corpora
tion, and because we are all cowards whna
lacking the support of n umbel w and will en
dure much imposition for the sake of a doubt
ful convenience. ;
My personal grievance is this: I ecupv.
with three other adults (three fourths of the'
time only two others) a five-room cottage con
taining nine gas jets, four of which are sel
dom or never used, the others being regulated
by "Ignlto" burners, which by actual meter
test consume 3' cubic feet per hour. For
cooking I w my small Jewel range; I do
no laundry work, bake no bread pr pastry,
serve a breakfast of toast and coffee (tor
three) and use gas about 15 minutes to pre
pare luncheon. "Ve have a gas heater for the
water tank, which is used only for a couple
of hours each week to heat the bath. My
bill for November was 5.03, for December
fS.50. In November we actually used more
gas, since I used hot water frequently, hav
ing Just moved into the house and there be
ing a great deal of cleaning to do. The dif
ference of using more Jlght in December and
the $5.03 being probably a three weeks read
ing, could not account for the $3.30 excess in
the bill. 1 had a similar experience on East
Morrison street last Summer, but found there
was no redress. Our Income Is very modeat,
however, and If gas is to cost-us such fabu
lous amounts tre shall simply be forced to
discontinue Us use. The quality, is likewise
so vile that I am obliged to have windows and
outside doors open when using more than a
very 'small amount in the range, and ibouxh
1 have a strong and healthy atomach. which
withstands "mal de mcr. I have frequently
felt most unpleasant effect whc necessity
requires me to remain near -the gas when in
use. Instead or burning. "true -blue," it pro
duces a kaleidoscopic combination of yellow,
green and, blue, very charming to behold
but disastrous to the behaWer.
I have .consumed much pf your valuable
time (If you have read thus far). nt 1 will
terminates this windy dissertation -with the
advice: Give us better, cheaper gas. and mail
us our bills ao that we may not baVe to wait
In line Jn harrowing uncertainty as to what
lies In Ktore for us at the window. Vefv
truly yours, MKS. J. K. HQWAHD.

Health. Thus Lost la Restored by LyeUa
2. PiBkhiia'B Veeta'bYe Compound.
Ho rr many wosaea do yon know: -who
are perfectly well and strong? 'TTe
hear oTery day the same story over and
over agtiiii I do not feel well ; I am
so tired all the time ! "
More than likely yon speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause maybe easily
traced to some derangement of the fe
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv
ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and .unless
heeded a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
TheneTer-failingremedyforall these
symptopps is Ljdia E. Pinkfiam's Veg
etable Compound.
