PORTLAND. Or., April 22. To the
Editor: The writer returned today from
Oakland. CaL. where he ha been assisting-
your efficient corps of worker
and prominent Oregonlans in dispens
ing; aid tp Oregon people and others
who lost their all in the great calam
ity in San Francisco.
The good work your representatives
and others of Oregon are accomplish
ing n .aid of the stricken city is highly
commendable. And let me say with
all emphasis. The Oregonian and the
Ticople of Oregon are to be highly
praised and are deserving of great
credit. The good both your 'Journal
nnd state are accomplishing is meeting
with much favorable comment among
all classes of citizens, both of San
Francisco and Oakland. They say:
"Oregon is all right."
Jefferson Myers and F. TV.
L-eadbetter, the executive heads of the
committee as a whole, are putting
wery minute of their time to the pro
per disposal of carload after carload
of rood sent from Oregon to San Fran
cisco, and to caring for the finances,
and the people of Oregon owe these
gentlemen a vote of thanks.'
Is a House In Herself.
Mrs. W. G. Mac Rae. of The Oregon
ian stan of relief workers, upon whose
Judgment Messrs. Myers and Lead
better rely, is the director general "at
The .Orejronian headquarters, 1002
Broadway. Most of the management
falls upon her shoulders. She Is a
wonderful Utile woman, with a won
derful capacity for hard brain work.
She not only directs each assistant in
his or "her respective line of work to
the minutets detail, but sees and aids
in person the hundreds who call dally
at The Oregonian headquarters.
Mrs. Mac Rae is a born general, and
ner capacity for work is unlimited;
decides quickly, acts quickly, and with
Judgment, in all matters pertaining to
. the aiding of refugees, whether it be
clothing, food or money that Is desired.
She uses tact in helping those in need,
not giving too much nor too little, but
a Just portion for each refugee's Im
mediate wants
The people of Oregon owe The Ore
gonian, Mrs. Mac Rae and her co
workers a vote of thanks; also those
aiding Mrs. Mac Rae. Among those
wqrthy rt mention for their untiring
work I would mention Meysrs. Dosch.
Mac Rae and Douglas. These gentle
men havo been worthy assistants to
Mrs. MacRae.
Hundreds Given Aid Daily.
Hundreds flocked daily to The Ore
gonian headquarters, some looking for
friends, others wishing to inform
, friends or relatives in Oregon they
we:e safe and where residing at pres
ent. Those recently from Oregon in
California on a visit, or those once a
resident of Oregon, were requested to
register and where residing. Each day
the list of names and addresses were
telegraphed to The Oregonian to be
Inserted there.
After registering Mrs. Mac Rae would
take each person registering In charge,
asking each person what aid. If any,
lie or she desired. Should It be cloth
ing, each article desired would be
tabulated and an Oregonian represen
tative would go to some store and
purchase It. If It were food, plenty
was on hand to be given. On the other
hand, it one wished transportation to
Oregon It was furnished. Should a
little money to buy little necessaries
be needed this also was forthcoming,
nnd so from day to day this good work
Is being carried forward by the State
of Oregon and The Oregonian.
The writer in one afternoon assisted
in distributing in front of headquarters
half a carload of blankets and food.
and it gave me great pleasure to be
able to say to the poor refugee with
out shelter. "Have a blanket, It will
keep you warm until you are housed
and well taken care of."
God bless Orogon and the Amcaican
people, for we are the greatest people
In the greatest country of the world,
and in a calamity like the one at hand,
with generous aid pouring In from all
quarters of our country, God bless the
American people. W. B. PRICE.
MAN IS NEVER SUBDUED
Dr. Hope Touches Upon, the San
Francisco Catastrophe.
At All Saints', North Twenty-second
street. Dr. Robert Hope spoke Sunday
morning. His text. Genesis 1: part of the
twenty-eighth verse: "Replenish the
earth, and subdue it."
Dr. Hope in part said: Here we have
a primeval command, which, like the
fourth commandment, is not always fully
understood. It is a positive command to
labor six days in the week, and it might
have been left to human necessity to
suggest the other, that we should rest
on the seventh. Our modern commer
cialism and Industrialism, rightly under
stood, are but phases of the twentieth
century energizing -of the divine Injunc
tion to subdue the earth. Earthquake,
flood and .fire are natural forces with
which men have ever had to contend for
the mastery. And man. has never been
subdued.
"Babylonian, cities rose, over the ruins
of others until the energy of civilization"
moved westward. On the ashes of Rome
; .grander Rome arose.- St. Paul's cathe
dral witnesses the Phenlx-llke rise of
modern London. Lisbon bears record to
the lnditable spirit -of the Portuguese
In the struggle with nature. American
cities not a few are among the wonders

falaw of .Ftid.
"A Xta. Sctta fM." we a -!
Ject yt a aenaoa deMvered tost sight at
St. James' English Lutheran Church by
the patter. Rev. S. A. Leer. He drew
a, leseoa from the rtory of Nebuchad
nezzwr, recounting the hlsierv of his
vision aad subsequent downfall, and his
final restoration. '
"Nebuchadnezzar's aln was pride." he
said. "Pride rides in the same .saddle
with ruin." Let us briefly follow Nebu
chadnezzar's course of depredation. -First
he goes on the errand of conquest. He
desecrates the sacred place ef the taber
nacle of the most high. I is the pride
of men that over-rides all sacred days
and racred thiags and placea.
"Next is his loss .of reason. The "king
1 In the field His affliction was one
that made him think that he was a beast:
and with the beast he sought his habi
tation. He could not have been con
strained to have done otherwise.
"Next follows Nebuchadnezzar's humil
iation. He waa not humiliated when he
was in the field. He did not have enough
sense to know his condition. A man in
toxicated is not ashamed. Not until he
realizes his condition is he humiliated.
At last the dng wakes up from his
dream and find himself a beast Instead
of a man. That was the hour of his-
Humiliation.
"At laet he was restored. He was
established in his kingdom., and excellent
majesty was added unto him. He came
to himself. The man that God Intended
him to be.
"Man, what is he.TThe battleground of
three worlds. There is no limit to
his bounds. The world may be .de
voured by flames. He will watch the
conflagration in. perpetual safety. The
stars may cease to give their light. He
will shine with the reflection of the un
of righteousness forever and ever Ages
may march on and be gone forever: he
wtu continue for he is eternal. He Is
the masterpiece of God."

Dr. Brougher on Destruction
'Of San Francfsco.
MYSTERY OF SUFFERING
Calamities Arc a Part ef God's Great
Plan Through Which All Thiags
Work for Good, Declares
the Pastor.
. Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher dealt with
the mystery of. human suffering In his
sermon at the White Temple last night,
and drew a parallel between the affliction
of Job, as told In the Bible, and the ad
versity which haa come to the people of
San .Francisco. He said that the great
calamity of the Bay City waa no more
mysterious than any of the many similar,
although less extensive disasters of hu
man experience. His assertions polntedj
to jthe opinion that San. Francisco waa
destroyed not as a punishment from
God. but aa a means of the divine power
to bring about better things. The subject
was "Mystery and. Meaning of Eaa Fran
cisco's' Destruction."
Takes Book of Job.
"The book of Job," he said, "deals
with the greatest problem of human life,
that of human affliction. The date of the
book Is unknown. It was written for all
time. Its author is not known: It meets
the needs of universal mankind. It has
no locality, for the world Is its home. It
stands in the dim twilight of human his
tory as the dramatic revelation wherein
God and satan. man and nature meet and
the first lesson in the school of affliction
is taughL In the light of Us teaching I
wish to study for a few moments the ter
rible calamity that has befallen San
Francisco.
"Job was bewildered by the calamity
that befell him. In the midst ot piety
and properity Job was aF suddenly
stricken by adversity as is San Fran
cisco. In a single day all his property
was swept away and his children killed.
He met the situation with the grim phi
losophy. 'Naked came I Into the world
and naked shall I return thither, the
Lord ga-e and the Lord hath taken away,
blesssed be. the name of the Lord. He
still believed in God and . holds fast to
his old faith, but adversity touches him
again. His health Is taken, his body Is
covered with boils, he suffers great pain.
In the midst of It all he believes In God,
but stands utterly bewildered and per
plexed. Puzzle of It All.
"How can we stand before such a- ca
lamity as hap befallen San Francisco and
not be puzzled and dumbfounded. Who
is responsible for It all? There are two
or three facts concerning God that we
must not forget. First. God is love. Sec
ond. God is Just and will always do that
which 1? right. Third. God permits man
to work out his life destiny In the midst
of adversity -well as prosperity and
can make all things work together for
the good of them that love him. There
is no more mystery in the destruction of
San Francisco than there Is In the de
struction of a powder mill by explosion.
There Is no more mystery In the death
of SO0 than there is In the death of one.
All life la a mystery. Many are the ex
periences through which we go that are
unsolved riddles. I do not know who lr
directly responsible for the destruction of
San Francisco. God permitted satan to
bring the great test of calamity upon
Job that out of It he might bring him to
a still higher and better condition of life.
Job was not afflicted because he was
wicked. The Lord said unto satan. 'Hast
thou considered my sen-ant Job? For
there Is none like him In the earth, a
perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God and cschewcth ex-ll.' We
And that the good n well as the wicked
suffered In the destruction of San Fran
cisco. Nature Works According to Law.
"It Is true that sin-brings Its suffering
and those who break the law of God
must suffer for their sins. This fact Is
aet forth by one of Job's friends. Another
declaree that suffering Is the Judgment
from God warning the sinner to repent
and escape still heavier Judgment. What
ever may be Ibe direct cause or occasion
for such.a calamity, u still remains true.
That Vhlod the 41m unknown
Staadetn God amid the ihtiowi
Xerplnr watch above hU own
"I do rot believe that this old world
Is run merely by chance or by accident.
Neither Is It ruled by fate. God has
not exited a world of creatures and left
them to work out their destiny accord
ing to hard fixed laws, which they are
bound to breakand cannot escape. Job
and his three foolish friends never as
serted anything so foollefe as this. Na
ture works according to law, man moves
within a sphere of his free will agency.
The devil, tfie prince of this world, still
has power. I believe, to destroy bs earth
quake and pestilence, but none of 'these
can move outside the sphere assigned
them by the Lord God Almighty. Al
though he may not be the direct cause
of our sorrows and afflictions, yet I be
lieve it is still true that he is looking
on and at the proper time he will In
terfere to -turn us from ojur mistakes,
our sins and our sorrows to lead us into
something" better.

LECTURES OS THE DISASTER
"W. Xarlc.IljrHH Speaks at Y. 31. C.
A. ob Sap Francisco's Destruction.
Every acat'ln tire large audlterisaL of
the Toung Xea's Christian Association
building was eccapled yesterday after
noon by an -audieaee of iSea. who .lis
tened to an accaunt ef the San Fran
cisco dlsastcr'tohich was related by "W.
Earle Flyan. who waa In the Bay City
at the time ef the earthquake and re
mained to make personal observations
during the progress of the conflagra
tion. The lecture waa Illustrated by a
series ot stereeptlcon views ef street
views taken both during the are add
after it had subsided. lent for the oc
casion by Messrs, VB and Darhr.
Mr. FlyaR is m physical culture lec
turer. He was reeatag at thev Hamil
ton Hotel atj-the time of the shock.
After Ihe first shock, instead ef rush
ing to the. street as did most of the1 in
mates "he went to the thirteenth story
of the hotel- and. irons that point of
vantage he observed the effect ef the
subsequent shock. and also the progress
of the flames ay ther swept away the
magnificent hatdaess blocks ot the city.
He made five trips to the upper floor
xt the hotel and. took note upon the
situation.
In beginning his address Mr. Flynn
alluded to the excellent relief werk
.done by the people ot Portland. "Al
though I am not a resident of San
Francisco," he said, "I am sure that I
can speak for the people ot that city
when I say that they will never forget
the hospitable response of the people of
Portland In their hour of need, and that
It will be the means of uniting the two
citls venv more closely together- In
the future."
In speaking of the catastrophe Mr.
Flynn said that It was impossible to
portray the sensations which each In
dividual experienced during the earth
quake. "It was different from any
other kind of fright. It Is something
that one cannot forget Since the shock
I have experienced the same sensations
In my imagination repeatedly and I
know that the same thing has occurred
to many others.
"One of the most notable things ot
the situation In San Francisco the fol
lowing day was the absolute "eguality
of the people. For once rich and poor
were placed on the same basis. Mil
lionaires worked side by side with poor
men and each stood on his merits as a'
man. All falaeK'alues and display were
done away with and each stood on his
true work as roan to man.
"The second day of the Are I took
special notice of the manner in which
Individuals had stood the strain placed
upon them. I made many Inquiries and
personal observations and la all but
one case which I Investigated 1 found
that the men who were able to work
best and give valuable personal service
were tnosV who were not accustomed
to dissipation. Drinking men especial
ly gave way during the ordeal. This
was one of the Important lessons. An
other lesson waa the effectiveness of
prompt action. It was a time when
minutes counted and men strove to
make the best of them. The results
obtained were truly wonderful. It oc
curred to me that It the same en
thusiasm, except In somewhat less de
gree, could be displayed in ourevery
day life we could accomplish a great
deal more than wc do."
LESSONS OF THE DISASTER.
Mr. J. M. lloneyman Talks at Y.
W. C. A. "at Home."
a
At the T. W. C A. "At Home" yester
day. Mrs. J. M. Honeyroan spoke on the
lessons of the San Francisco disaster. In
part she said:
"We all believe in our Heavenly Father,
but how can we think of him as a loving
"Father when we are so disturbed over
this awful calamity In San Francisco and
the eruption of far-away Vesuvius. Let
ua for a' moment grasp the greatness of
the universe and the meaning of the
words "from all eternity to all eternity.
Then let us listen to the words of the
Psalmist: 'One day Is with the Lord as
a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day.' No matter how long one
lives. It Is only as a moment In the whole
course of our existence, and we may
all look forward tp a long eternity of
happiness.
"We must try to realize God's plan
of the universe, and- how the most sensi
ble thing that can happen here means
no more In that mighty plan than the
bruise of the little child that has fallen
down. The mother soothes the child, but
she knows the suffering will not Inter
fere with the child's growth or its fu
ture life. This Is the place where our
faith Is needed and we must trust the
love of our Heavenly Father In these
great calamities, a welf as In the sad
things which happen around us day by
day.
"Wc leant to bow the spirit of loving
kindness and help. Fulness Is developed
by such sufferings, when we read In the
newspapers day after day of how every
one Is trying to help those who are in
distress. This is beautifully expressed in
Lowell's vision of Sir Launfal, which
we might study together for a moment.
The beautiful description of a day in
June, the young knight going, forth in
his enthusiasm to search for the Holy
Grail, his dream of tossing gold to the
leper, who would not pick It. The sec
ond part, describing his return to his own
castle old, poor and frail, and being
turned away from his door by his stew
ard, then watching the bright Yule logs
all nifht froa his cold porch.
"Once more the leper asked for alms
and this time he shared his mouldy
crust and water from the stream la his
wooden bowl. He finds it Is the Christ,
who tells him that this Is the holy sup
per indeed.
'"Not what we give, but what we
share, for the gift without the giver is
bare.' "

TAKES TET FROM STORY.
Dr. House Prerche cin "The Okt-i
casta or Poker PlaL" - .
' Bret Harte'a tale of the- CaUferaia
mining .camps, of the days ef '4 "The
Outcast ef Peker "Plat." was the theme,
of a sermon delivered last night by "Dr.
E. I. House, paater ot the First Cea
gregatieaal Church. The pubject waa
"The Good to Be Fotred la! Bad- Lives." '
The speaker illustrated his potet .by the
developments. In the story where all the
good that Is la the Uvea of the 'oa teas ts
ef the rain lag cams'Is .brought out-when
they meet privation and death together.
He said In part: i
The outcast ef Poker Flat are a group
of persons who. havebeea compelled' to
leave the mining -camp because ot 'a'
.spasm of virtuous reaction set Ja. against
all improper persons. The loss ef much
money, twe valuable horses, and a. prom
inent citizen brings about this result.
Overtaken by -a terrible snow storm, the
men and women are caught in a trap,
and die from the exposure1 andatarva-'
tlon. Rot before- this takes place they
show, their goodness In caring far an
Innocent couple, whe' come late their
midst, that they, may live and enjoy life
Some of the lessons learned from this,
tragic story are; t
"First The contrast between selfishness
and" generosity. Tarn Slmson "iswfillng
to share his possessions with his' compan
ions, but Uncle Billy stealsthe xaules
and escapes. In time of trouble a man's
nature reveals Itself and- there are many
surprising revelations in life. People
that we think noble and good often in
tiros' of calamity think only of saving
themselves: while some that we think
bad give- their lives to save others. A
tramp gave himself to save a child in
New York a few years ago. and his
obituary might well read. 'Only a tramp",
but he saved another.'
"In the next place we notice a desire
on the part of these outcasts to save
Miss Woods to the good. They said noth
ing of their past, and were careful of
their language. TheVe are hundreds who
are striving to save their fellows from
the same sins and environments that they
are in because of a goodness ot heart
not entirely lost.
"And then there Is the lesson of self
sacrifice displayed by Mother Shlpton. On
the tenth day she called the gambler
to her'atdo and said: 'I'm going, but
don't waken the kid. Take the bundle
from under my head and open It. The
gambler did so. It contained her rations
for the last week, untouched. 'Give 'em
to the child.' she said, and turning her
face tb -the wall she passed quietly
away.
"And then In the last place notice the
heroism of these persons in the face ot
death. After Tom Simson left the camp
,o obtain succor, the gambler went over
and kissed the duchess and never re
turned. At the head of the gulch, on a
pine tree they found the deuce of clubs
pinned to the bark, and It bore the fol
lowing: "'Beneath this tree lies the body ot
John Oakburst. who struck a streak of
bad luck on the 5!d of November. 1SS0.
and handed In his checks on the 7th of
December. 183X
"After another night of horror and
waltlifg the duchess crept closer to Piney
and said: 'Piney. can you prayr 'No.
dear. was the simple reply. The elder
put her head upon the shoulder of the
younger, and the guilty thus reclining on
the Innocent, they fell asleep, not to
awaken when help came.
"Many thin as in this story go to re
veal that In spite of the lust and sin of
these lives the basis of their being was
good, not bad. Oh! If men and women
would only see this, how much more good
they might be able to do, and how roany
roore might be reclaimed. Remember that
Christ always saw the highest good that
-icaa In men and women, and because of
this many became his followers and
friende."
