'Value of Man," His Theme. Rev. 1 F. Young, pastor of St. John's Methodist Church, spoke yesterday morn ing on the "Value of the Man." as dis tinguished from every other creation. The speaker placed him above every other living thing and said that he was dis tinguished from mere animals by his fac ulty to weep, make sacrifice and think. and yet was the only living creature that was disobedient to the will of his maker. "I object to everything that cheapens our estimates of the man. said Rev- Young, "and for this reason I object to the haste that Is made at funerals. The casket Is hurried to the grave and the body is hastily buried, and then the carriages drive away with great rapidity. It cheapens the estimate of man. and drives out sentiment. Man is little lower than the angels. "I object to the cremations of the hu man body. There will come a time when ever' house will have an oven for cre mation to avoid the cost of an under taker, and the ashes of the departed will be kept In an urn, or vase on the shelf until lost In moving about from place to place. All this lowers our value or man and reduces us to the material lstlc view. It Is the mother who thinks and plans for her sons and daughters, and not the animal mother, it is the mother who throws around her daughter all the-love and protection she can, an not the animal.

Father Thompson Indifferentism. on GOD OF INFINITE TRUTH Declares That ThU Deity Abhors "What Is False and That All Creeds Cannot Be True In His Sight. Rev. Father George Thompson spoke on the subject of religious Indifference at St. Mary's Cathedral last evening. In part he said: "One or the Illogical and baneful the ories generally diffused at the present day consists In the absurd and pernicious notion that It is a nutter or small Im port what creed a man. professes. If only he be honest In his dealings and faith ful to the dictates of conventional mor- I! llty. This theory Is known as Indiffer entism. and means simply, that God looks upon all forms of belief with equal favor. and that a man Is privileged to study Christianity as he would a menu card, selecting that brand of faith best suited to his taste. The men who take this comfortabla view or Christianity and are prepared to bestow an approving smile upon all tho variegated forms In which it has been remolded, must never have carefully an alyzed the reasoning which led them to so preposterous a conclusion. Indifferent- Ism Is absolutely void of reason, and Is anathematized on every page or sacred Scripture. God or Infinite Truth. "If God Is God at all he is of necessity the personification of Infinite truth. By reason of his very essence he loves what Is true and abhors what is false. The prophet understood this deduction when he taught that lying lips are an abomi nation to the Lord. To say therefore that God regards all forms of Chris tianity with equal favor is equivalent to saying that he Is Indifferent whether a man's mind bs a storehouse of religious truth or a slnkttole for pernicious false hood. For as everybody knows, the pre tended exponents of revealed religion are preaching contradictory doctrines. And the contradictions are concerned sot merely with the unimportant but with the very fundamental of Christian faith. Lutheianism stands for the doctrine or original sin. and the historical and dog matic fact or redemption: Unitarians, on the contrary, reject original sin ax a myth, and likewise all belief In a divine redeemer. Many Episcopalians look upon Christ a the rounder or an external, vis ible, authoritative. undying church. whereas the great majority of Protest ants repudiate all such understanding or Christ's words and works. Clearly enough these matters have to do with the very essence or Christianity. The creed which assents and the creed which denies can not "both be true. All Creeds Not Good. "Now to assert that this condition of denial and contradiction, which has char acterized Christianity since the Sixteenth century, is a condition acceptable to God, would be the height or Sroplety. God could not leave men free to embrace truth or falsehood, any more than he could leave men free to keep the com mandments or to Ignore them. The man who understands the essential truthful ness of God must appreciate the fact that all creeds are not good In the sight or God. and that it does make some differ ence which creed one accepts. "Sacred Scripture condemns Indiffer entism as emphatically as It forbids stealing and lying. After his resurrection Christ gave his apostles the explicit com mission which has procured to a part or the world at least the fruits of his life and death. 'Going, he said to them. 'teach ye all nations, baptizing them In the name or the rather and or the son and or the holy ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I havo commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. According to the terms of their commission, the apostles were au thorized, not to promulgate fanciful laws and theories of their own Invention, but to t berore Jthclr hearers the very truths and precepts which they had learned from the lips or Christ hlmscir. Christ did not commission his apostles to make new creeds: he sent them forth to preach what they had already received from him, and they knew full well that they were, by divine appointment, the custodian or an undying and Immutable creed. "The notion that one religion is as good as another has come to mean prac tically that one religion Is as bad as an other, and consequently many men re gard religion as largely a human Inven tion and consequently deserving or little serious consideration. The step from in different! rcn to Infidelity Is easy and many are the men who have taken the step. The 111 repute Into which revealed religion has fallen with many men Is at tributable to the logical break-down or sectarian systems which have for three centuries weighted true religion with the burden of their own inconsistencies and absurdities. Counterfeit coin passes at times because there Is good coin in cir culatlon. It Is the same with creeds. The wise banker will examine creeds as well as currency." DEVIL'S FAKE RELIGION"." Rev. n. C.

The admen of Portland were Invited to the Taylor-Street Methodist Church last night to hear a sermon prepared espe cially for them by Dr. F. Burgctte Short, on "dements of Success." Dr. Short took for his text Romans XII. 17 "Provide things honest in the sight of all men." and based his remarks on the necessity of a foundation of honesty for a successful career. "The real measure of life Is being, and not getting." he said. "God proposed that every man should work and there Is place, a job. for every man to AIL No excuse for the Idle loafer.

WARNING TO YOUNG MEN Tells Hovr the Beginning of a Vicious Life Leads Downward Until 31an Becomes "Lower Than a "Hoc. An audience of men crowded the main floor, balcony and gallery of the Mar quam Grand Theater to their seating ca pacity yesterday afternoon to listen to an address by Fred B. Smith, of Chicago. International secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. His subject waj "Sins That Kill." and the discourse was given In connection with the. Inter state convention of the Y. M. C A., which held its closing session last night. Among all the audiences that have packed the Marquam Grand. It Is seldom that one has shown such Intense, ear nest Interest as- was manifested yester day. Jt is the fourth visit Mr. Smith has paid Portland, and upon each occasion vast audiences of men have gathered to bear him. He Is one of the most elo quent and direct religious speakers of the country "at the present time, and his re marks usually, meet with Immediate re rponse. At the close of the services yes terday nearly ICO men went forward to the stage of the theater, signifying their Intention to accept Christianity. Evils of Impurity. Mr. Smith confined his remarks almost exclusively to the consideration of the evil of social Impurity, ne characterized It as the most Insidious form of vice. and said that Its prevalence throughout America was alarming. His discourse upon the subject was divided Into a dis cussion of the cause, the results and the remedy. In opening his remarks, Mr. Smith called attention that the meeting was probably one of the very last of any character that would be held In the Mar quam Grand. "I do not care very much for playhouses." he said. 'Tmt I feel rather sorry to sec the Marquam close. This is the fourth time I have spoken here, and I regret that It must be the last. However much I may differ from others as to the morality of theater going. T want to express my appreciation of the fact that the. owners of this thea ter have never allowed It to be open upon the Sabbath. Sunday desecration and profantty, although not germane to my discourse today, are two ot the greatest evils that this country has to face, and I never allow an opportunity to pass with out expressing to the young men before whom I speak a warning against them. Three Sins Which Ruin. Continuing Mr. Smith took up the main theme of his speech. "Three alns are ris ing rapidly among the young men of America." he said, "which have worked the downfall of every nation that has gone down In disgrace. They are Intern pcrance. gambling and Impurity. Of the first I think it Is unnecessary to speak. Men are fully educated against Its awful results. "When we look around and see all the woe. sorrow and death It has caused. I marvel that a word needs to be said on the subject of Intemperance. To the young man who Is cursed with a thirst for whisky through heredity. I ex tend my hearty sympathy, but for the young, man who deliberately drinks I have little or none. He Is an unmitigated fool with sawdust where he ought to have brains. They may make the saloon beautiful and attractive, but he knows well the dangers that lurk there. They may call It a cafe, buffet or rathskeller. but the wnisky mat is soia tnere senos people to tae same hell as that which Is poured out. at the lowest grogshop. Gambling and Intemperance. "Gambling ia in the same category as Intemperance Both are talked of arfd written of so much that anything I might add would not emphasize their evil results. But I am here to speak of social Impurity, not because It Is an at tractive subject, but because It must be dealt with squarely. It Is the one sin about which young men are not warned sufficiently. Preachers keep silent upon the subject and the press, which is the other great rorce for morality, does not discuss It with the same freedom It uses In treating other subjects. But this evil Is more widespread than all others. It Is every man's battle, and It must be met. There arc three stages of this evlL call them the Ignorant, the vicious and the hog degrees. At first young men do not realize the sin which they are com mitting. Later they find that the devil fish of an impure life te fasting Its fangs upon them. At last they sink to all that Is lowest and basest In mankind. Young man. with the stamp of immortal ity upon you. It will take away your respect, your honor and all that Is most dear to you: It will take you lower than the lowest dog. All Sins Are Twins. "Drummond said. 'All sins are twins. and this Is especially true of the sin of Impurity. In your search for companions for you evil you will soon lose all regard for virtue all respect for woman. And while you are damning others you will be damning yourself. Every sin makes a picture of itself physically. Your dIsso- lute life will soon be pictured on your countenance, and your body will be ruined. But worst of all Is the contami nation or your moral nature. Tou will lose your sense of responsibility. It will make a liar of you. "There Is but one remedy. You must resolve to live the pure, the white life. But a resolution Is not sufficient. If it were every drunkard would be reformed and every gambler would have quit the game. You must ask God for strength. The battle of life Is too severe for men to face alone, but If you will ask for divine help to live an upright Hie you will not fall."

URGES CHURCH TO ACTION. Rev. E. Xclson Allen Wants Local Optlonlsts Legislature. Kev. E. Nelson Allen, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, In a prelude to his sermon last night took up several phases of the present polit ical campaign, dlscusmg" mem irom the standpoint of the Anti-Saloon League. He asserted that It is tne purpose of the wholesale Liquor ueat- i ers Association to attract the atten- tlon of the temperance forces to a fight against tho amendments to the local option bill and thereby give a better opportunity for the election of the representatives -it desires to send to the next Legislature. "While temperance people are mar shalling their forces against the amendment." he said, "the liquor forces are busy selecting; men for the next Legislature. They are securing the pledges of men to vote for another Jayne bin In the event their amend ments are detcated. Nor should we overlook the ract that the liquor In terests are concentrating: their forces to defeat the renomlnatlon of Sheriff Word. not. as they said recently, 'that we have anything- against Word, himself, but If we should allow the temperance people to re-elect him they would use that as a leverage before the next Legislature and with the re-election of Sheriff Word, would he able to show that the people are with them. Mln view of these facts, the temper ance forces ought to set about to ac complish the following results: "First, we ought by all honorable means to defeat he liquor dealers amendments which, for all practical purposes. Is a repeal of the local option law which was adopted by the people of the state, and wherever applied has brought about gratifying results.. "Second, we ought to re-elect Sheriff Word because of the faithful discharge of the duties of his office, and because his dereat would mean a reinstatement of the liquor forces. "TJhlrd. we ought to support no man for the Legislature who Is not pledged to maintain the present un amended local option law, 'The corrupt and fraudulent methods of the liquor men ought t5 defeat them In the eyes of all fair-minded citi zens. ' "Mr. Crofton admitted that they had expended 3140.096 in their efforts to defeat the local option law two years age. Failing- In that they Introduced the Jayne bill and by the most un scrupulous methods all but carried It through the Legislature. Their pres ent amendments are the old Jayne bill made still more drastic, giving the liquor men every possible advantage in a contest. And. after repealing or nullifying; the force of every article Lin the hill they have the temerity to place on the otnciai ballot the words: 'For amendment to the local option law, giving: An tl -Prohibitionists and Prohibitionists equal privileges. The statement is absolutely false as every one knows who has even casually In vestigated the bllL Such effrontery ought to receive a telling rebnke at the polls. It Is time for the moral Iaw-ahldlag cltlzeas of the state to strike one hard blow for better things.' Forty Hoars Adoration Closes.

Enquire of your friends and note their experiences. A Phlla. woman says: "During the last 2 or 3 years I became subject to what the doctor called 'coffee Jags' and feh like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me. and I felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins. "Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but tor a number of years r have known that It was doing me great harm. but. like the rum toper. I thought I could not get along without It. It made me nervous, disordered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distressing headaches. "When I got what the doctor called a coffee Jag on. I would give up drinking it for a rew days till my stomach re gained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year ago. I was persuaded to try Postum, but as I got It In restaurants It was nothing but a sloppy mess, some times cold, and always weak, and of course I didn't like It- Finally I prepared some myself at home, following th di rections carefully, and found it delicious. I persevered In Its use. quitting the old coffee entirely, and feeling better and better each day, till I found at last, to ray great Joy, that my ailments had all disap peared and my longing for ceffee had come to an end. "I have heretofore suffered Intensely from utter exhaustion., besides the other ailments and troubles, but this summer, using' Fostum, I have felt fine." Name given by Festua Co., Battle Creek. Mich; There's a reason. Restaurant ceeks rarely prepare Post-' urn C4Tee- vreeerly. They do sot let it boil TS eaottga.
