LIFE'S GREAT
1
Preacher Likens the Struggle
to Football Contest.
SAME QUALITIES NEEDED
l'luck, Resolution, Xerve, Obedience
and Endurance All Help in Bat
tle Tenacity a Factor, Says
Dr. E. L. House.
"The Greatest Game of Life" wag the
subject of the sermon by Dr. -E. C. House
ftt the First Congregational Church yes
terday morning. Dr. House compared the
Ftrupgle for existence to a football game
In which resolution, nerve and "grit"
are necessary to success. Another essen
tia feature Is holding on when the strug
gle Ifl fiercest. "Permanent success is
oftener won by holding on than by a
sudden dash, however brilliant," re
marked the preacher.
In part Dr. House said:
The greatest game of the world -is neither
football nor baseball, neither whist nor five
hundred; It Is the lire that we are living
from day to day. Life is a game. It haa
its field, and tho stadium la the world. The
grand stadium of Harvard College is as a
pigmy hut to a great mansion in compari
son to the stadium God haa given us In this
wonderful vorld. Our field represents
bounty, beauty, provision and skill. As the
dream of Jacquard appeared in a loom, and
the vision of Christopher Wren In a cathe
dral, so all we behold Is the divine thought
and preparation of Ood for our development.
On this field some play one part, others
another. There ar many spectators watch
ing our play, sonre hoping for our defeat,
ome praying for our success. If It Is Inter
esting to see Harvard and Yalo play foot
ball, it Ik more so to watch the real game
of life.
The apparatus for our training and de
velopment Is in our hands to make wise use
of if we will. Does a man desire to be a
farmer? The soil and the seed are at hand.
Does he choose to be a mechanic? He has
the trees, the rocks, the marble and the
lrcn. Our' apparatus consists of our own
marvelous body, mind and soul, plus the
things of nature.
And we have opponents who contest every
lm-h of ground toward our goal. Science
teiis us that every seed and roo.. every bird
and beast has its enemies.- Noi.hing can
avoid a battle. Man has his fight. The
rust consumes his tools, the moth his goods,
the fire his house. But worse than this, man
has his 1'rlah Heep to deceive, his Shylock
to exact his pound of flesh, and be3ond and
above these, Satan, with his princely man
ner, and his cunning. diabolical advice,
through human agents. Put happy for us
the great truth, that we know we cannot be
defeated. If we follow our leader's advice.
Now the conditions of success In this game
are skill, confidence, endurance and obedi
ence. To have skill, one must study the
book of rules; he must give heed to the
coach and the captain. So we must give
heed to the Bible, to Chrlstion teachers, and
above all to the words of Christ. And then
we must have confidence.
The struggles of life are not unbearable.
The trouble sometimes seems unconquer
able, but It is not so. He who resolves to
win. and shows that spirit, has won already
part of the battle.
Now the spectators of a great game of
football like to see the man who has the
nerve, and the grit to hold on when the
struggle seems against him. and finally win
cut by his sheer pluck and endurance. Per
manent success is oftener won by holding on
than by sudden dash, however brilliant.
There must be obedience. Many a game
has been lost by disobedience to certain
laws, rules and commands. Champions have
lost their standing by disobeying the laws
of eating, drinking and sleeping, when pre
paring for their next contest. Certain things
work together for our good if obeyed. The
lightning when properly harnessed up. sends
our messages, directs our cars, lights our
streets; but when desobeyed. Injures, and
too often kills.
In this greatest game of life, let us be care
ful to obey all rules and regulations laid
down for our permanent success, and if we
do, we certainly shall win our goal at the
Mid of the field.
SUXDAV XOT THE SABBATH.
Elder Snyder Preaches on Testament
Authority for Its Observance.
At the Auditorium, 208 Third street,
last night Eider G. A. Snyder spoke by
special request on the subject of New
Testament authority for Sunday observ
ance. He said in part:
There are eight texts In the New Testa
ment which mention the first day of the
week. Six of these texts are found In the
four gospels, and all refer to the day on
which Christ was raised from the dead.
See Matt. xxilx:l, Mark xvl:l. 2, n; Luke
xxivU; John xx:l, 1. None of these texts
apeak. of Hunday as the Sabbath, but merely
peak of it as the "first day of the week"'
Immediately following the Fabbath. or, to
use the exact language of Mark: ."when the
Babbath was past."
By reading the last few verses of Luke
21 In connection with the first verse of
chapter 24 we see that the women who
came to anoint the body of Jesus that Sun
day morning, had rested the Sabbath day
according to the commandment on the day
before. So it Is perfectly clear that Sunday
was not regarded as the Sabbath when the
four gospels were written. Matthew wrote
about six years after the resurrection, Luke
about 24, Mark over 30. and John probably
over 00 years. They all speak of Sunday
merely as "the first day of the week" Just
after the Sabhath, as already mentioned.
In Acts xx: 7-1'- we have a record of a
Brst day evening meeting when Paul preach
ed till midnight., and afterward broke bread.
If this meeting was held on what we call
Sunday, according to Roman time, then the
breaking of bread did not come till Monday
morning, for It was after midnight. This
would throw the boasted Sunday commun
ion service entirely out of Joint. If, how
ever, this meeting was held on what we call
Saturday night, which is really the dark
part of the first day of the week according
to Bible time, then Sunday morning Paul
walked about 20 miles across to Assos. while
his companions sailed around a long neck
of land on the first stage of the long voyage
to Rome. In either case there is no evi
dence that Paul regarded Sunday as sacred.
In 1 Cor. xvi:2 Paul Instructs the brethren
to lay aside at home on the first day of
the week, as much of their means as they
were able so that It might not be necessary
to take up a collection when he came. This
Involves a figuring up of accounts every
Sunday morning to find out how much we
are able to lay aside for missionary purposes.
None of these scriptures contain the least
shadow of evidence for Sunday sacredness.
On the contrary they show that the apostle's
did not consider it sacred. There Is not one
line In all the Bible to .show that Sunday
ever was regarded as a Sabbath, or as a
sacred day of any kind by the early Chris
tiana. CHURCH ORGANIZES NURSERY
Babies Play While Their Parents
Worship at Grace M. E.
At Grace M. E. Church a new feature
was tried yesterday for the first time.
Mrs. Clarence Truo Wilson, the pastor's
v.-ife. and 10 young ladies have handed
together to fit up a room in the church
parlors to take care of the little children
while their mothers attend service. This
will be a regular feature of the work at
flrace Church hereafter. Parents who
wish to attend church can bring their
babies and have them cared for during
worship. Dr. Wilson baptized one of the
little ones at the morning service. The
evening service was well attended. Prof.
Wllder's male chorus sang. The quartette
rendered' "Abide With Me." by Parks.
Miss Lytle's gospel solo was a feature
of the service.
Dr. Wilson's sermon was on "The Two
Greatest Evils." He selected for his text
Jeremiah 2:13, "My people have commit
ted two evils, they have forsaken me. the
fountain of living waters, and have hewed
them out broken cisterns that can hold no
water." He said in part:
For years I lived In Southern California,
a country very like Palestine, with two sea
sons, a rainy and a dry. For the great part
of the year the rivers are the dryest part of
the earth. To procure' water is more im
portant than gold or oil. It is therefore
necessary to collect during the wet season
the water then flowing into cisterns. To
strike a perpetual flow of water in abund
ance la a fortune. Occasionally an artesian
well is discovered.
Now, suppose a case, a man has such a
flowing spring or gushing fountain, but he
forsakes it and prefers to hew out of the
limestone a cistern to catch rainwater and
undertake to hold It against the law of
evaporation and the leakage of his cistern
and in the dry season to supply his thirst
out of this cistern of dead and dirty water
rather than from the. living fountain.
The charge of the father of our spirits
In this very thing, "My people have for
saken me the fountain and preferred broken
and impure cisterns of their own making.
The longings of the soul for happiness and
safety are likened to thirst and the4 un
phllosopliical methods of slaking It to
one who prefers the stale and stagnant
water to the living stream.
COXSECRATIOX SERVICES AT
AXABEli AXD SELIAVOOD.
Rev. B. E. S. Ely and Rev. G. A.
Learn Officiating Clergymen.
Large Congregations.
Established as a mission two years
ago. the Presbyterian Church at Ana
hel, a settlement on the Mount Scott
Railway, costing $4500, was dedicated
yesterday afternoon in the presence of
a large, congregation, and during the
services nearly $800 was raised towards
paying off the indebtedness on the
property.
Rev. George W. Arms, the pastor, was
in charge of the services, assisted by
Rev. W. S. Holt. D. D. On the plat
form with the pastor were Dr. Holt,
Rev. Andrew .1. Montgomery, Rev. E.
M. Sharp- and -Rev. B. E. S. Ely, Jr. After
the introductroy services. Dr. Ely de
livered the dedicatory sermon. His
text was from Matthew xvl:18. "Thou
art Peter and upon this rock will I
build my church." After giving an ex
position of the text, Dr. Ely pointed
out that higli character is essential In
church building. He expressed the hope
that the community In which the church
to be dedicated was located would de
velop stalwart Christian men and
women.
Following the sermon, Rev. Mr. Arms
gave a financial statement, showing
that to date the building and lot (do
nated; valued at $.100) had cost $4"04
and that there had been raised $3510,
leaving a debt of $994. In a few min
utes subscriptions aggregating nearly
$800 were taken. These ranged from
$1 to $200.
Then came the dedicatory services
conducted by Dr. W. S. Holt, assisted
by Rev. J. S. Dunning. E. E. Fulton,
Mrs. E. E. Fulton. W. E. Spicer. Miss
Julia Stroeder and Mr. Prltchard, the
trustees, were then formally given the
keys of th church, and charged by
Dr. Holt with the care of the church
property. The benediction was then
pronounced.
The church Is one of the most at
tractive and convenient In the county
outside o Portland. The next step
will be to erect a manse on the lot
alongside the church.
The new Bethany Baptist Church, on
East Eleventh and Tacoma streets. Sell-
wood, was dedicated yesterday after
noon free of debt. The total cost was
about $3500. Rev. G. A. Learn, pastor,
was In chaige of the services, anu there
was a large attendance. Dedicatory
services were opened by an organ vol
untary by Mrs. Mabel Williams, fol
lowed by an Invocation by Rev. D. A.
Thompson, of the Sellwood Presbyteri
an Church. Deacon I.. W. Robertson
read the history of the church. The
keys of the church were , delivered to
the possession of H. W. Stone, who rep
resented the trustees. Then ?ame stir
ring addresses by Rev. A. Lawrence
Black. Rev. H. B. Robbins and Rev.
J. Whltcomb Brougher, special reference
being made to the beautiful art-glass
memorial windows.
The large window facing Tacoma
street is in memorial of Mrs. Phoebe
A. Adams, who was in charge of the
Sellwood Baptist Church when it was a
mission. Over a year ago, while Mrs.
Adams was leading a prayer-meeting,
she dropped dead, and this window Is
in memory of her work in the early
history of the church. Rev. F. II.
Adams, son of Mrs. rhoebe Adams, de
livered the dedicatory sermon.
Hev. Mr. Learn, the pastor, announced
that $150 was needed to Clear off all
debts on the property, and this was
quickly raised and paid In.
The new church is a handsome build
ing. All the windows are of art-glass
and add very much to the appearance
of the building.
STRIKES AT FALSE GOSPEL
Rev. William H. Heppe Preaches
Before Y. M. C. A.
Rev. William H. Heppe. of the Cen
tenary M. E. Church, delivered the ad
dress at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday after
noon, speaking on "The Relation of the
False Gospel to the World."
"In the false philosophy of life there
is no room for the true gospel," said
Dr. Heppe. "False gospel Is full of bat
tle cries, flashing sabers and the roar
of battles. It makes life a huge "joke,
tho earth one vast playground and man
an actor to amuse and be amused. This
Is the false, effeminate gospel of the
twentieth century.
"There can be no fellowship between
light and darkness. It is impossible to
yoke together the good and the bad. The
moment you declare yourself absolutely
In favor of God, morality and righteous
ness the legions of Satan are ready to
draw the sword from the scabbard and
fight you. We must "put on the whole
armor of God to fight against the devil.
"Conscience has come to us under the
blight or sin: it is affected by sin and
is blighted by sin. Some people allow
their consciences to be governed by the
statutes of the state. Let the Govern
ment enact new laws regarding the rum
trafilc, gambling and the social evil, and
these people will imagine themselves
right if they merely keep within the
bounds of the written law."

PASTOR TO REMAIN
Dr. House Reconsiders Inten
tion to Resign.
DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING
Congregationalists Give Assurance of
Hearty Support and Will Raise
His Salary in Accordance
With Former Contract. v
Dr. E. L. House, pastor of the First
Congregational Church, will not resign,
and it is now asserted that his announce
ment that he would do so was based on
a misunderstanding. The threat of the
pastor that he would leave his charge
grew out of a clause In his contract with
his congregation, providing for an ad
vance in his salary when- the debt of the
church should be paid. Dr. House be
lieved that there was a sentiment in his
congregation adverse to carrying out this
contract. Now, however, he has been
assured that the members of the church
wish him to remain at the increased pay,
and he has decided to do so.
Dr. House came to Portland five
years ago. During his Incumbency more
than $28,000 of debt has been raised, leav
ing the church free from financial obliga
tions. In accordance with the agreement
which had been made, tr. House applied
for an increase of salary at the last meet
ing of the board of trustees. The matter
was refered to the church society which
in turn referred It back to the board. Dr.
House thinking this an evidence of senti
ment against carrying out the former
contract, announced that he would hand
In his resignation, and that he had re
ceived several offers from other churches
at advanced salary. . While the First
Congregational Church of Portland ranks
30th in membership of the churches of
the United States the pastor's salary
ranks 70th. The First Congregational
Church of Seattle with a smaller mem
bership than the Portland church pays its
pastor $5000 a year and the assistant
pastor $2000. In Portland the pastor re
ceives $3000 annually and the assistant
but $600.
Knise Salary to $3600.
Members of the congregation now say
that the delay In authorizing the in
crease in the salary of their pastor was
due simply to a misunderstanding as to
whether such action should be taken by
the board or by the congregation. The
board has voted an advance 'of the
pastor's salary to $3600, and that of his
assistant to $600. The church society will
indorse this step at its next meeting and
the incident will be ended.
Speaking of the matter, E. L. Thomp
son, chairman of the board of trusttes,
said:
The sentiment of .the entire church
body is strongly in favor of the reten
tion of Dr. House, as he has given satis
faction and is popular in the church.
When the matter of raising his salary
was brought before the trustees the vote
was unanimous. So far as the church is
concerned entire harmony prevails and
the church body has no desire to make
a change. The church is enjoying a
period of unprecedented prosperity and
has a bright outlook. When it became
known that Dr. House would remain
there were expressions of approval heard
on every side."
Dr. House speaking of the matter said:
Dr. House Explains.
"A misunderstanding arose as to the
method of raising my salary. As the
society fixed it at the beginning
of my ministry I thought it good
judgment for the president to
recommend to the people the raiding of it
according to a promise made at the be
ginning of my ministry. This recom
mendation was made wholly on the re
sponsibility of the president of the board
of trustees, without his consulting me
on the question. It was voted to refer
the matter to the trustees for considera
tion and recommendation. I considered
this as a method of, killing the recom
mendation and stated that I would hand
in my resignation the coming Sunday
under the circumstances,- and left the
meeting.
"The society now assures me that I
was mistaken In my judgment, for It was
voted that It was the sentiment of this
meeting that the pastor's salary should
i i, ihpt wns done unanimous-
UiS laiocu, ......
ly. as I am told. The trustees the next
day voted unanimously mat iney wuuiu
recommend to the society at its adjourned
meeting December 27 the raising of my
salary. Under the circumstances I await
the action of the society at its adjourned
meeting "before taking any further action
in this matter."
"THE MAKING OF A MAX."
Sermon by Dr. Black at Calvary Bap
tist Church.
Rev. A. Lawrence Black, pastor of
the Calvary Baptist Church, East Side,
and state secretary add organizer for
the Barac Union of America, spoke last
night on "The Making of a Man." The
meeting was under the auspices of the
Barac men of this church. After giv
ing a short history of the organization
of the Barac Union, which began at
Syracuse. N. Y.. In 1890, and defining
the ward Barac. -which is from the
Hebrew "Berachah," and means "happy"
or "blessed." Rev. Mr. Black spok
from the text. Genesis 1:26, "Let us
make man in our Image." He declared
that men are giving more attention to
the culture of animals and plants than
to the development of true manhood,
and pointed to the lack .of home life In
this country, and spoke for radical
change in the marriage and divorce
laws. Rev. Black also pointed to child
labor as a menace to manhood, and said
that life in factory, office and shops
unfit women for motherhood. Continu
ing. Rev. Black said in part:
Physical perfection alone will not make
the man. Size and beauty are no more the
man than the shell is the egg- The Chl
neese reverence a big head and a good many
Americans have the "big-head." but the size
of the head tells you nothing about the
thickness of the skull or the thinness of the
brain. Intellect does not make the man.
Many an intellectual giant is a moral dwarf.
It la not what you know but how
you use what you know that . counts.
Chafing under wholesome restraint, such as
the rules of the home and the school or the
laws of the state may make you an outlaw;
but It will never' make you a man. Follow
ing popular opinion does not make the man.
Popular opinion Imprisoned Galileo in Rome
and raised the rebellion In America. On the
other hand a reckless disregard of the opin
ions of others will not make a man of any
one. Others will think about right about
you after all, and there are few men who
are better than their reputation.
One essential In the making of men, and
we must not forget him, is the boy. You
cannot make a man out of a woman no
matter how hard you try. You may place
her In the office, the store, the bank; you
may allow her to pound a typewriter, fill
a pulpit, cast a ballot, or hold an office,'
you may dress her as you will, she la still a
woman. Men are made out of boys. God
save' our boys. Aiiything that endangers
boyhood, threatens manhood. The boy of to
day is the man of tomorrow. If the saloon.
the bad woman and the cigarette are dan
gerous for the boy. they will as surely ruin
and damn the man. If I should mention
child labor I wonld class It among the
greatest foes to manhemd.
REV.
W. CORBY COMIXG
Buffalo Man Will Probably Take
Charge of Cniversalist Church.
Rev. Edward C. Downey, of Spokane,
occupied the pulpit of the First Uni
versalis! Church. East Side, morning
and evening, and delivered two elo
quent discourses. The morning topic
was "Salvation by Grace." He gave at
different construction .on the word
"grace" than Is usually placed on it
by the churches, saying that there is
nothing supernatural about its attain
ment, and, that its attainment is simply
the rounding out the real Christian
character In the image of and according
to the example of Jesus Christ.
Rev. Mr. Downey came to Portland
commissioned by the General Conven
tion of the Universalist denomination
to ascertain if there were a field for a
larger and broader work for the Uni
versalist Church, and he has already
arrived at the conclusion that there Is
such a field In this city.
"I have -found some excellent people
here of our -faith," said Rev. ' Mr.
Downey yesterday, "and I shall recom
mend that a strong man be sent here,
who will be the pastor of not only this
church but of the whole city as well
for the Universalist Church. We need
a man whose force of character, so
cially and Intellectually, will enable
him to do a large and effective work
in Portland. We have such a man in
the person of Rev. James W. Corby, of
Buffalo, N. Y. He thinks he will come
to Portland and take charge of the
field here. He has been wanting to
come to this Coast for "some time, and
I am quite confident that he will ac
cept' the call to this church and field.
We shall probably hear from him in
a short time."
Rev. Mr. Downey will leave for his
home in Spokane today.
PREACHES OX HAPPIXESS.
Sermon by Rev. S. A. Siewert at First
Evangelical Church.
"Be Happy All the Time" was the sub
ject of a Fermon preached yesterday at
the First Evangelical Church, East Sixth
and Market streets, by the pastor. Rev.
S. A. Siewert, who said in part;
I like Webster's definition of happiness:
"An agreeable feeling or condition of the
soul arising from good fortune or proplt
ous happening." Feople who are in a right
condition of soul are In a position to
fulfill the apostle's command, "Rejoice al
way." Someone, in speaking of happiness,
beautifully said: "It Is a divine dew which
the soul, on certain of its mornings, feels
dropping upon It from the amaranth bloom
and golden fruitage of paradise."
Christians are the only class of people
called on to rejoice alway and are the oiy
ones that can reasonably be expected to uo
so. The Christian who remembers from
what he Is saved, for what he la saved and
that It was nothing but the love of God
that saved him will always be happy.
The one who obeys the apostle's three
commands, "Rejoice alway," "Pray without
ceasing" and "In everything give thanks."
will not only be happy, but will grow in
happiness, for the ability to be happy is a
"talent" which, if rightly used, will earn
other talents of its own kind.
PORTLAND a REVELATION
JOHX BARRETT SURPRISED AT
PROGRESS OF CITY.
Minister to Columbia Talks of Great
Development Shown During
Past Fourteen Months.
"Portland has gone forward In a most
wonderful way." remarked John Barrett,
United States Minister to Colombia, last
night at the Portland Hotel. "I believe
tho growth of Portland has been greater
during the past 14 months than in any
two years of Its former history. At least
It seems so to me. Its growth Is almost
phenomenal, and what Impresses one most
Is the substantial growth. The hand
some buiklingd which are In the course of
erection show the confidence of the busi
ness men. Portland has, one might say,
thrown off its swaddling clothes of pro
vincialism and is now a cosmopolitan city.
"I was here 14 months ago, and since
I have been awa I have tried to keep
In touch as well as one can with the
forward movement of Portland. When I
arrived Saturday night I was of the
opinion that I had been pretty well .In
formed on what had taken place during
my absence. In going over the city to
day I am surprised to discover ' that I
had not kept in touch with half that
transpired. I have always felt that Port
land would be a great city, and am more
convinced of it now than ever. In 16
years Portland, with its resources and
Its advantages, will rank next to San
Francisco and Los Angeles In size and
importance."
Mr. Barrett will be the guest of honor
at a banquet given in .his honor by the
Commercial Club tonight. It is expected
that Mr. Barrett will touch upon the
Japanese question during his speech.

VICE PLEASES.
Best Patrons Are People From Up
Valley Towns Boon to the The
atrical Profession, Too.
The late train service recently put Into
effect by the Southern Pacific has become
so popular that it is almost Impossible
to get sleeping car accommodations with
out applying a day ahead. The new train
recently added carries four sleepers and
these are always sent out from Portland
with every berth taken.
Besides, the day coaches are well pat
ronized by passengers from up-the Valley
points who have spent the day in the city
and wait until late at n'.ght to return
home. Perhaps no now train service ever
put on out of Portland by any road has
so increased patronage. This shows that
late trains out of the city are appreci
ated by the traveling public, and there Is
talk of a still later train being put on in
response to the popular demand.
The new train. No. 13, is often held for
passengers on the Northern Patlfic train
No. 13, due to arrive here at 10:65, but
which Is sometimes delayed. Another rea
son for the night train getting away late
Is because theatrical companies some
times have difficulty in getting their
scenery to the depot on time. Theatrical
companies which close In Portland Satur
day night can reach San Francisco In
time to play there Monday night, which
was an impossibility before the new serv
ice was inaugurated.
If the night train left still later, or
about 12:3ft. frequent delays in getting
away would not be necessary, and the
train, could pull out promptly on schedule.
Then there would be no need for theatri
cal companies playing here to miss con
nections for San Francisco. Out of town
people attending the theaters would then
have time to get supper and still catch
the train for the South if they desired.
As it is, if passengers on the night train
want to attend the theater they are
obliged to hurry away from the playhouse
to the depot. Oftentimes theatrical com
panies on the closing nights have to cut
the performance short in order to catch
the late train. This applies also to No. 4,
the Northern Pacific train leaving at 11:45
P. M.
People from up the Valley would be
better suited if the night train left at
12:30 A. M.. Instead of 11:30 P. M., as at
present. This change would give them
more time In the city and enable them to
make the most of their visits to Portland.
The demand for late train service out
of the city and the popularity of such
trains le shown by the fact that No. 4, of
the Northern Pacific, leaving at 11:45, has
never had its schedule changed from the
day It was put on, several years ago.
This Is a surprising showing, as about
every other train leaving the Union Depot
has had Its schedule changed frequently.
