Congregational Ministers Do
Not Commit Themselves.
WANT. TO STUDY IT FIRST
Association Meeting at Sunnyslde
Turns Down Resolution Favoring
Tri-rnion of Methodist, V. B.,
Congregational Churches.
Outside the papers and addresses
yesterday during the session of the
Portland Congregational Association,
in tho Sunnysiile' Congregational
Church, was the question of church
union, which came up in two forms
hut which the members of the associa
tion were not inclined to discuss. In t
the fornoon Rev. D. B. Gray introduced
the following resolution:
Tlesolved. that this association is profoundly
interested In the recent discussion of the pro
posed trl-unlon of the Congregatlona-l, United
Brethren and Mntliodlxt Protestant churches,
and this association wishes to place Itself on
r'cord as earnestly favoring the proposed union
as In line with the recent action of the com
nittteo on union in Chicago, as reported In the
letter sent out by Dr. Gladden.
Xot Iteady for Definite Action.
Objection was immediately urged to
discussion of the resolution at that
time by several of the ministers on
the ground that it committed the as
sociation too directly without due con
sideration. While there were no
speeches made against the resolution.
It was placed in the hands of the pro
gramme .committee. The matter again
was brought up in tho afternuon, when
J.ev. W. Gray introduced the follow
ing substitute resolution:
Whereat, there has been a movement in
augurated that seems to indicate the coming
union of the Methodist Protestant. United
llrnthrrn , and Congregational denominations'
into one body: therefore, be It
Hesolved, that we should carefully and
prayerfully consider whether this la a move
ment of the spirit of Odd, and, further,
Resolved, that we ark the pastors and mem
bers of our churche to mako a jttudy of the
plans and alms of the proponed union so they
i an give wie consideration to this movement
when the qtiostlon comes to the Individual
church for further action.
As these resolutions did not com
mit the association they were adopted.
Christian Education.
T'rofcssor H. L. Bates, of the Pacific
, University, at Foresf Grove, delivered
a forcible address lrl the afternoon on
"The Mission of tho Christian Ctillege."
Christian education, which "while old
is still a now question." He contended
that the Christian colleges were work
ing for the same end as tho churches.
It was maintained that real education
was not wholly intellectual, but an ed
ucation that makes all round good
men, not an education that only in
creases salary. Influence and political
power.
Profesor Bates went on to say that
there was demand for the services of
co!lcjro trained men In all departments
of Industrial and public life. 'Corpora
tions were seeking their services. The
Government was placing college men
In places of trust and more than 60 per
cent of the statesmen and leading cap
tains' Of indllHtrv Worn enllppe v. i . . m
The whole world, declared Professor!
Bates, had become the field of the man
of college training, but whilo this was
true, he said he would not advise all
young men to seek a college course.
Work Among the Seamen.
An interesting talk was made by
Itev. T3. II. Roper on work among the
seamen in Portland, lie. set forth the
peculiarity and importance of this
work. Among other things Mr. Roper
answered criticism on pool tables be
. ing used in the rooms for seamen. lie
declared lie never saw anything wrong
per se in pool or billards and that the
devil had monopolized these innocent
games too long. Ho explained that
tho social side of the seamen had to
be reached by providing them with
amusements. Mr. Hogors announced
that the new seamen's liome in Port
' lsnd would bo ttpened next Tuesday
night, at which time there would be
a house-warming. He asked the co
operation of churches In his work.

Francisco and a large passenger list
from Coos Bay.
Officers of the steamer report that

"HERE are few plays that possess the
wearing qualities of 'A Gilded Fool,"
which Nat Goodwin presented last night
for about the 'steenth time before a Port
land audience. Of all the parts he has
played none Is so Indissolubly asso
ciated with Goodwin as that of Chauncey
bhort, the eminently grood-natured and
eminently likable young man with a for
tune on his hands and nothing to do but
dissipate, it. Short is one of thos "good
fellow" types that are to be found In al
most every large American community.
we nave all known at least one of him.
In the- play he U idealized a bit. He
takes a tumble to himself too suddenly
perhaps, and develops more force of char
acter than could be expected even In
fiction, but he is a delightful fellow and
making some allowances for the dramat
ist s license, is a genuine one.
Mr. Goodwin plays the role with all the
art which he possesses as a light come
dian and in portraying the lights and
shades of this gilded fool he sustains the
very best obligations that we place upon
him. It is unquestionably his best niece
of work and will constitute his chief
claim to fame as long as he remains on
the stage. He cannot get away from "A
Gilded Fool" any more than Mansfield
can from "A Parisian Romance."
Mr. Goodwin gave a fine performance
last night and hie company gave him
good support. ' Miss Goodrich wore some
stunning gowns and looked more beauti
ful than in anything she has done in the
Goodwin repertoire. If she Is not a. great
actress, her beauty and her ability to
wear things serves to compensate to a
large degree.
The engagement closed last night. To
night "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"
will occupy the. HclIIg on a return en
gagement. '
TIME LIMIT' ON CANDIDATES
Would-Be Councilmcn Talk to South
Portland Improvement Association
Enthusiasm ruled last night's meet
ing of tho South Portland Improve
ment Association held In Hunter's Hall
at Fulton. Tho business session was
followed by an excellent entertainment
given by tho women, who also pro
vided a luncheon for those present.
The principa.1 political lights of the
Sixth ward were present, and a dls
play of fireworks was scheduled, but
recitations, songs and music spoiled
the plans of the oratorical bombthrow
ers, and they had to be content with
saying pretty things about the ladies,
and booming, the improvements of
South Portland.
William Deveny, dean of the Monta
villa Push Club, was tho principal
speaker. - With his long white hair
drooping about his shoulders, he broke
forth .in strains of eloquence as to tho
future of his dear Montavilla, and in
cidentally of South Portland. He told
the boys present that he had a ball
club, and the girls that he had bought
his girls a tennis outfit. He was will
ing to go to South Portland and do tho
same thing. Then he informed the as
semblage that while he was a corn
doctor, he had always been a pa-triotic,
honest and enthusiastic citizen of Port
land, and had helped build up the city.
He favored more macadam roads, mora
water, of the Bull Run variety, and
all good things that would make the
city famous.
"I do not believe in special privi
leges for few, but equal, rights for all."
he said, "and I believe that the sooner
the women take a voice in politics the
better it will be." .
John M. Mann. Republican candidate
for councilman in the Sixth Ward was
called to make a speech, but his ef
forts consisted mainly in complimen
tary remarks addressed to the women
present.
In a few days, he said, I am go
ing to recommend a medicine, which
if taken in moderate doses will turn
the White House Road Into on or the
most beautiful drives in the city.
am pleased to find myself in the midst
of some of the most beautiful ladles
