Word that his wishes were re spected was received yesterday. Rev. Father Qulnlan left for Notre Dame. Ind., several weeks ago, and will not return to Portland. His transfer was entirely -due to his request. He came to Columbia University four years ago, under assign ment from the Council of the Holy Cross, and during that time accomplished much for the school In the promotion of a spirit of pure athletics. Dr. Qulnlan is a firm believer in pure and manly athletics and did all he could to Inspire the students at Columbia University with that spirit. His successor will be named next month. Rev.

Dr. Poling and family have many personal friends in Portland. He was pastor of the First English Church, East Market and Sixth streets, about 20 years ago, and afterwards founded and erected the First United Evangelical Church at East Tenth and Sherman streets. Paving of Grand Avenue. The property-owners on Grand avenue north from the fill to Sullivan's Gulch have decided that they want bitulithlc waterproof pavement, and not the bituminous mac adam, as proposed by the Council to give them. Some time atro a petition was sent in asking for bitulithlc pavement, but the Council decided it would give them the bituminous macadam as furnished by the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, and di vided up the improvement, giving the property-owners south of the embank ment bitulithlc. Yesterday a remonstrance was filed, signed by a majority of the property-owners between the embankment and Sullivan's Gulch, against the bitumi nous pavement, and demanding that the contract be let for the bitulithlc pave ment. Work on the Pipe line. Two gangs f men are at work on the pipe line from the high service reservoir at Mount Ta bor, east of Highland. These two gangs are about 1000 feet apart yet, but will shortly close up the gap. The forces will then go back and complete the sections that were left unfinished for want of sec tions of pipe. The main now bring laid Is 24 inches In diameter. There has been delay because pipe was not delivered. During the hot weather of the past few days men found it impossible to work, and at one time six men had to quit work, as they could not stand the blistering sun boating down on them, unrelieved by a breath of moving air.

PRESBYTERY TO ACT That Body Will Pass on Dr. Hill's Resignation. ACTION OF CONGREGATION Request of Pastor to Be Released by Church 19 Referred to the General Governing Board in Portland The members of the First Presbyterian Church held a congregational meeting In the Sunday school room of the church last night to consider the request or tne pas tor. Rev. EdEar P. Hill, to be released fiora the Dastorate in order to assume the chair of homiletics In the McCormick The ological Seminary of Chicago. The meetinjr was well attended, ana sev eral spoke at length on Dr. Hill's desire to be released from the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church. A resolution was introduced not to sever the pastoral relations, but before being voted on an amendment was added that Dr. Hill's re quest be referred to the Presbytery of Portland, and if that body should aecioe to release Dr. Hill the congregation would accept Its decision. The motion was car ried by the meeting and a committee wtj f leeted to call on Dr. Hill and inform him of the congregation's resolution. Text of Resolution. The. resolution to be handed Dr. Hill follows: "The congregation earnestly desires not to dissolve the present pastonte, but in view of Dr. Hill's request refers the mat ter to the Presbytery of Portland, and If the latter should overwhelmingly decide to dissolve the pastoral relations the con gregation will acquiesce with it in its de cision." The committee elected by the meeting will call on Dr. Hill today, and the mat ter will probably be acted upon at the next meeting of the presbytery, which will take place Tuesday evening. Plan to Establish College. The establishment of a Christian college, to be conducted under the direct super vision of the First Presbyterian Church, is a matter that is at present receiving the serious consideration of the leading mem bers of that church. Dr. Hill has felt that he would be able to establish such an educational Institution more easily than a newcomer,' having the advantage of long residence and intimate acquaint ance here, and It has been a cherished idea with him ever since the People's In stitute was opened to add such a college to the work of the church. At the execu tive session of the board of trustees held at Dr. Hill's residence last week, this mat ter was thoroughly discussed and was favorably considered by the majority of those present. One Member Pledges $10,000. One of the members of the First Pres byterian Church has already pledged the amount of $10,000 to such a purpose, and it is the opinion of those interested in the proposition that there would be no diffi culty in raising the necessary funds for the establishment of the college. A high er course than Is afforded at the Portland Academy is contemplated, but whether a theological course would be included has not been decided. It was the intention of the board to In troduce the question of this proposed Presbyteirna College at last night's con gregational meeting, with a view of deter mining whether Dr. Hill should be .re tained to inaugurate the work, but the tact of the congregation in submitting the pastor's resignation to the action of the presbytery would Indicate that In the event the college is established it will be done through other persons than the pres ent pastor. ALL GOOD NOT ORTHODOX Critic of Ir. Hill Points Flaws in His System of Theology. NEW ERA, July 3. (To the Editor.) I notice that the Rev. E. P. Hill does not like The Oregonian, and yesterday told you so. But I like the paper very much. Like many other men of "the cloth." Dr. HJ11 claims credit Is due to the orthodox church for all the good things we have. I do not think so. Let us see. The church said God created the world In six literal days, out of nothing, and that there were three days on the earth before the sun was created. Science drove the church from that position. The church said God did not see the necessity of creating woman till he 'noticed that Adam was lonesome. Then he took a rib from the man's side and made a woman therefrom. Science disproved that. The church said after God finished making this world he congratulated himself he had done a good ' job. Satan turned In and so upset God's plans that God repented that be had made man at all. To thwart Satan God then drowned all the people but eight. This also was a failure, so instead of killing Satan, who caused all the mischief, he evolved a great "plan of salvation." He came to earth himself and was put to death. The church taught that all who believed this should enjoy eternal bliss while those who never heard of It, or, hearing of it, did not understand the plan, should be tortured for ever. A mere belief of the story was all that was required. Murderers, horse thieves and every brand of reprobates could, under the plan, load their sins on Jesus and go to glory with one bound. Voltaire, Darwin, Hux ley, Spencer, Paine, Theodore Parker, Ingersoir and other clear thinkers, so riddled this il logical, immoral theology that only a few old-school preachers are now found to defend It, and they are usually found in the remote rural districts. The church has taught that the earth was flat; that once Joshua caused the day to be lengthened one hour while he butchered an opposing army; that God authorized Moses to sell decayed meat to strangers, that men could have hundreds, of wives, concubines and slaves; that the Infinite God of the uni verse could be persuaded to break a solemn covenant by smelling the sweet savor of a roasted bullock, and that God is jealous, wrathful, vindictive and changeable.

A. L. MILLS, President L SAMUEL; General Manager, CLARENCE S. SAMUEL, Ass't Manager down the ages the church has opposed sci ence, learning and liberty. It denounced Gutenberg and Faust for Inventing printing, persecuted Gallileo, burned at the stake Bruno and Serve t us, massacred the Jews, cham pioned slavery, and anathematized the pio neers of every science that has blessed the world. There have been individual church men who have stood for advancement, but the church aa an organized body has always brought up the rear of advancing humanity. Many, very many, of these more liberal church communicants were subjected to all sorts of persecutions and prosecutions for heresy. Who established negro slavery in America T Sound orthodox believers. Who agitated for its abolishment? Garrison, Sumner, Phillips, Gerrit, Smith, Greeley, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Glddlngs, Wade, Lincoln and others not one named being religiously orthodox. Who Is leading the world In thought today T Not one of the great writers in orthodoxy, or if so, he is but nominally so. Dr. Hill asks if the orthodox churches are not building colleges, organizing Y, M. C. A. and other good movements? Yes; they are do ing some good work along that line, but It is pretty well understood that their leading motive for entering upon this work was to create recruiting agencies for the church. They found that the old doctrines of total depravity, an all-powerful ubiquitous devil, an endless hell, Infant damnation and the blood atonement through which bad men could escape just punishment, did not appeal to thoughtful people. Something had to be done, and schools,. young people's associations and other move ments to attract the young were Instituted. They were intended as recruiting stations for the cjiurch. Every possible effort is made now to make them such. In many places a young man if he be a Hebrew, or Unitarian, or Universallst or llberalist, no matter how moral he may be, can not attend those Insti tutions without being made to feel that he should join the church if he maintains proper social standing. Clearly the object is to odd to the church membership and incidentally to strengthen the church financially, rather than to exert a moral influence on the students or members. Woe be to that college pro fessor who dares to express a thought not In strict harmony with the church creed. It is a source of satisfaction to every lover of humanity that the schools and young people's associations are in a measure broadening be yond sectarian lines. The clergy are the least progressive of all our so-called learne d prof essi on s . They are taught to believe that all wisdom is to be found among the sayings of men who lived In the distant past. They must look with sus picion upon any new Idea. They must believe steadfastly In a personal devil who is quite. If not altogether, equal to God a subtle be ing who had at least once outgeneraled God, and they are to be on their con stand guard against any tricks Satan may resort to hereafter. It is their duty to stick closely to an lnerrant Bible ; total de pravity of man; that man's morality is filth and rags in the sight of God; that "man la a poor, miserable worm of the dust" who ought to be eternally damned on Adam's account; that the only escape from an endless hell is to shift his meanness on to the back of Jesus. If he will do that, he shall not only escape paying any penalty for his crimes, but slip Into eternal bliss where he can look over the heavenly fence and see Jews, Unitarians, Universal ists, Chrlstltan Scientists, Spiritualists and the editor of The Oregonian in a place where it is uncomfort ably hot. I pity the preachers of the orthodox churches, they are bound by iron creeds, framed by honest, well-meaning men of a past and ignorant age. They must thresh the old straw over and over again. They must look with fear and trembling on every new thought and every new discovery of science. The thinking people are seeking light else where. Church pews are largely empty, or, if filled, the hearers In the main neither under stand or try to understand the sermon. They go for the music, recreation and sociability. Old orthodoxy Is dooomed. It must go. It is going. We are to have newer and better de finitions of God, of evil, of man, of religion. The great evolutionary forces are pushing the church forward as well as it Is everything else on this planet. The whole scheme of "blood atonement," which is essentially pa ganlstic, illogical and immoral, must and will give place to the truer and better thought of "doing right because it is right." As ye sow. so shall ye reap. I have no censure for the beliefs of those who lived centuries ago. They thought and wrote and preached the best they knew. I do not feel unkindly to my orthodox breth ren of this age. I regret, however, that they hold to all the old conceptions of God and religion. I want to see them become un fettered from the old, musty superstitions and turn eyes from the past to the future. I want them to 'know that millions of the "unchurched" are just as kind and honest, and good and loving as the "churched," and are in every way just as good citizens. If they will open their eyes and catch the glorious, progressive spirit of this glorious age and will join hands with scientists and scholars outside of the church and drop a large part of their old, worn -out theology, and In their sermons keep abreast of the times, the people will again fill up the empty pews. .
