LEADER LECTURES
Rev. Arthur Reeves Vosburgh
Yalks on "The Idealism
of Jesus."
AUDIENCE FILLS THEATER
Speaker Member of Board of Lec
tureship of Church Mission to
Dispel Misapprehensions Con
cerning Its Teachings.
"The Idealism of Jesus." a treatise upon
the doctrines of Christian Science, -was
the subject of an address to a large audi.
ence at the Heillg Theater yesterday
afternoon by Rev. Arthur Reeves Vos
burgh, C. S. B.. of Rochester, N. Y. Mr.
Vosburgh Is a member of the Christian
Science board of lecturership of the First
Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, the
mother church of the denomination.
In Introducing Mr. Vosburgh to -- the
audience David B. Ogden said that the of
ficial board of lectureship was established
with a view to correcting mtsconeeptlon
and placing before the public the doc
trines of the church.
"This gentleman," he continued, "be
came a graduate of one of the foremost
theological schools of the country, and
early In his ministry sought Christian
Science for relief from physical suffer
ing. He then devoted himself to a study
of its doctrine and for 15 years has
worked in Its ministry as practitioner.
teacher and lecturer. The lecture has been
made possible through the efforts of the
First and Second Churches of Christ Sci
entist, of Portland.
Rev. Air. Vosburgh then spoke, saying
in substance:
"It is, a matter of common knowledge
that Mary Baker Kddy is the discoverer
of Christian Science, and that this dis
covery came about through her own heal
ing a healing that came through the
touch of divine power, when human re
sources could offer neither help nor hope.
Spread of the Faith.
"Christian Science has not only estab
lished itself In the United States and
Canada, but in all the great divisions of
the earth. In England ten years ago
there were but two copies of Mrs. SXldy's
book, Science and Health. These were
in the British Museum and in the West
minister Library. Today, in London there
are three large and growing churches. The
largest of these will this year complete
a church edifice with a seating capacity
of 15.000.
"The New Testament teaches that the
kingdom of God is to be established on
this earth, and these sayings should long
ago have reached their fulfilment here.
Jesus not only revealed the way, but de
clared himself to be the way. He called
upon all to come up to the same standard
as he exemplified. But no person ever
came up to that standard, and we know
the reason why. He was the one son who
always abode In his Father's house. All
others are prodigals, having wandered
Into the fields of their own desire.
"Christ said he came not to destroy the
law. but to fulfil It. If two plus two made
four in his day they do today. If his
words were true then they are now. He
said his disciples should do. greater works
than his. He performed miracles, so
called. These were only manifestations
of the divine law that matter Is only the
product of mind
"Believing there was a law back of
her healing. Mrs. Eddy retired from so
ciety and for three years gave herself
up to a study of the scriptures, seeking
a positive rule for mind-healing.
Found Drugs Unnecessary.
"For this quest she had received a
preparation along another line of experl.
ence. In her practice as a homeopathic
physician she had noted often that pre
scriptions in which the drug had been
so highly attenuated that it had prac
tically disappeared, healed cases that
larger doses failed to reach. Even utterly
unmeditated water or pellets frequently
reached the same result. Only one ex
planation for this appeared, and that
was that it was faith in the prescription
and not the prescription Itself which
wrought the cure. Out of all these ex
periences she had become convinced that
healing of any kind is always of mental
procurement.
"This brings us to the basic point of
view of Christian Science, which is tHat
of a radical and consistent Idealism. Its
position, to put it a little differently, is
that to find the true explanation, the
real nature, meaning and substance of
things, we must look to mind and not
to matter. One of the fundamental prop
ositions of the Christian Science text
book Is. 'There is no life, truth, intelli
gence nor substance in matter. Aft is
infinite mind and its Infinite manifesta
tion, for God is all in all.' This .position
is certainly radical and revolutionary;
but any system that will Interpret and
demonstrate the ideal of Jesus can be
nothing less. The kingdom of God can
not admit either matter or evil: and
Christian Science eliminates both as
either power or reality.
"We read of a man who once healed
the sick and raised the dead; who turfied
water Into wine, walked the wave, out
of a handful of loaves and fishes fed
the assembled thousands; who finally
came and went through closed doors,
appeared and disappeared, and at last
passed hence, not through the gateway
of death, but through the unfolding por
tals of eternal life.
Asks Pertinent Questions.
"What would God's universe seem to
us to be, could we gain his Insight and
secure his point of view? For what must
have been his sense of the real power
that lies back of chemical activity and
chemical affinity, .when he turned water
Into wine? What must have been his
relation to the elements and forces about
him when he stilled the storm and waited
(he wave? What was his conception of
the nature of life when he healed the
sick and raised the dead?
"And what his understanding of the
law of mind when, wtth & spoken word
or an unuttered thought, he restored the
lunatic and demoniac to rational poise
nd power? From all these mighty work
ings we can be sure of this; That Jesus
understood that the government of the
universe Is constituted In spiritual power
nd spiritual law; but this is only an
ather way of saying that Jesus under
stood that the real universe is spiritual
and not material.
"Jesus' teachings and works, then, set
before us an Idealism that excludes mat
ter and evil, and Includes all good. .The
Christian Scientist frankly. squarely
adopts this idealism, and he meets every
manifestation of evil, whether of sick
ness, sin, poverty, sorrow, disaster, with
a positive denial of Its power or reality
and an affirmation of the allness and
goodness of God; and Just in the degree
PiiniPTiniPP rmn
unniGin-
of his spiritual clearness and understand
ing he supports these statements by
demonstration.
"The Christian Scientist takes the Bible
as his rule of life and hand in hand
with It the Christian Science text-book.
"Science and Health." In these two
books he has increasing and unres.erved
conQdence."
WRECKS ON SEA OF LIFE
Rev. E. S. Bollinger Says Churches
Are Among Safe Havens.
At the Highland Congregational
Church last night, the pastor. Rev. E.
S. Bollinger, preached the first of a
series of Sunday evening sermons on
the "Wreckage of Life." His theme
was "Fair Havens." Mr. Bollinger
said:
I have called this a series of sermons on
the "Wreckage of. Life," because it is our
business to prevent this wreckage. This old
world is rich with ruins of other days.
Man's passion and rage have wrecked thu
greatest cities and ruined the grandest pal
aces. After all, man is the greatest destroy
er. There is no city of prominence in the
Old World that has not suffered from
man's inhumanity. The seasons and ele
ments leave their marks, but the wrath of
man leaves destruction.
But ruined cities and palaces are the out
ward types of the wreckage of character.
He who destroys the beautiful in art and
architecture destroys the beauty of his own
character. The civilized world no more
permits vandalism to mar and destroy sim
ply for the fiendish delight of destroytng
and inflicting- suffering. And slowly, but
surely, we are rising to an eminence where
the vision of human wreckage will make us
cry out mightily against all neglect, or
cause of destroying the divine possibilities
locked up in human life. As our children
stand on the shore of early life, the sea all
radiant with hopes. It Is our business to re
duce the dangers of shipwreck in their life
to the minimum. There are stprms without,
and "brain storms" within.
We are not all bad, nor are we entirely
angelic as we come into the world. Under
the most favorable circumstances childhood
reveals surprising capacities for storming.
We are born into the world with all the
tendencies, dormant perhaps, that have
marked the race on its upward progress.
Our children have to pass by the doors that
have opened the way to destruction for
those who became wrecks in the past. En
vironment and heredity can make a sea as
turbulent as ever lashed the shores of the
Levant. A promising boy, under an im
pulse, takes some money Intrusted to him,
and regrets the act a few momenta after
wards, but he fears to meet his employer.
Me was no thief, but the tendency of that
period in man's life when he had no sense
of wrong in appropriating everything that
came within his reach was in the boy. The
great temptations, the fierce and fiery trials
come to our youth. The record of humanity
is written in our being. Accident, thought
lessness, a thousand different things may
cause a break in the lines and the youth be
wrecked.
Our homes, schools and churches are "the
lair havens." In the midst of Mfe's sea
God's havens of love. As the mountains of
Crete sheltered that safe harbor, so under
the protection of the mountains of Qod's
mercies are those havens of safety and
preparation for life's greater responsibilities.
It is God's plan that one-fourth of our life
be spent In these fair havens. A people that
neglect these havehs ar.e guilty of the great
est neglect. He who does aught against
these havens is guilty of a vandalism more
heinous than that which destroyed Carthage
or Babylon.
TELLS OF MODERN MIRACLE
Father Sherman Preaches on "The
Divinity of Christ."
Father T. E. Sherman took for hia
subject last night at St. Mary's Cathe
dral "The Divinity of Christ." He
showed that Christ clearly and repeat
edly laid claim to divinity, and in the
course of the address made mention of
the Andersonville Prison miracle of the
Civil War. He said in part:
"Christ first of all laid claim to di
vinity when he accepted Peter's declar
ation of faith, and again when he said
to Philip, 'He that sees me sees the
Father also.' Even when on trial for his
life, he reasserted that he was the son
of the Most High. The greatest trage
dy of the world is- precisely this, that
the fairest and first of the sons of men
is ignominiously done to death for
making the prodigious claim that he
is equal to God the Father. Either
he told the truth or he is a moral mon
strosity, whose every virtue is a vice.
A perfect man could not truthfully
claim to be God; a true man could not
say 'I and the Father are one being;'
a lowly man could not say 'I am the
resurrection and the life." The gospel
Is all fable unless Christ Is God.
"One thousand of our boys in blue
were in one stockade at the Anderson
ville Prison during the Civil War, but
the water was so fo.ul and tainted that
men were dying like flies. The boys
prayed to God, and from the clear sky
came a lightning bolt, followed by the
springing-up of water where the pris
oners had previously been digging for
it in vain. Thousands owe their lives
to that miraculous spring. They are
among us. We can meet them and ask
them of the truth of It The states
have erected a splendid monument in
commemoration of this signal favor
granted us in the day of our direst
need.
"Our attitude toward the supernat
ural depends on our sympathies and
dispositions. The prisoners of Ander
sonvlllo are more inclined to believe
In the miraculous in nature than are
others. For the truth of the gospel
story we rely on the testimony of those
who lived with Christ."
SAYS TREND IS CHRISTWARD
Rev. TV. H. Heppe Preaches on
"Kingdom and Things."
"The Kingdom and the Things" was
the subject of the sermon by Rev.
William H. Heppe at Centenary M. E.
Church yesterday morning. The text
was from Matthew i:33, "But seek
ye first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness; anl all these things
shall be added unto you." Dr. Heppe
began by asking the question. "Wrhat
would Christ say if he were here and
could look out upon the world in its
present condition? What would he say
about the railroads, the Interests and
the enterprises that now absorb the en
ergies and minds of men? Would he
still say, as he said 'upon the mount,
'Seek ye first the kingdom of God?'
"There seems little improvement,"
Dr. Heppe continued, "over conditions
material in the world since the time
of Christ and his teachings, and there
seems to be a clash between the time
and teachings of Christ and this age.
with its strenuous life, its rush, its
ships plowing the ocean and its trains
speeding over the plains. Things have
come first, and the kingdom after
wards. We well may ask the question,
Is this a Christian age? in the face of
these conditions.
"Was Christ a rtal life teacher, and
did he not state a wrong principle
when he declared that the kingdom
comes first and the things afterwards?
Seneca said, 'I can paint the beauties,
but I cannot create them.' So. Christ
was not a mere looker-on. He was a
doer and s creator, and he stated eter
nal principles when he declared that
the kingdom comes first. It Is no ar
gument that the world has not meas
ured up to these principles. Man is
n the making, in the formation of
things spiritual. I believe that the
world was never more Christian than
today, and that never 'was Jesus Christ
more accepted throughout the world
than now, ana that the trend of the
time is Christward."
WALTZ IS OF HELL
Speaker at White Temple Calls
It Wrong.
MANY ARE LED ASTRAY
Rev. John Bentzien Says Men Will
Xo More Dance With Wives
Than Split Wood All the
A'ight for Fun.
"Is there any harm in dancing?" is
the question which Rev. John Bentzien
attempted to answer last night at the
White Temple, and the conclusion
which he reached was that real Chris
tians do not dance. Rev. Mr. Bentzien
read a number of letters in answer to
this "question, among them a quotation
from T. A. Faulkner, formerly a dancing-master
of Los Angeles, showing
that of 200 fallen women from whom
Mr. Faulkner obtained a statement,
163 owed their fall to the dance. 20
to drink given them at home, 7 to neg
lect and abuse and 10 to willful choice.
He quoted the advice of J. Wilbur
Chapman, the noted evangelist, who
says that the Christian may dance, but
that In doing so he is not reaching the
ideal. He said the Christian should
look for better things than to pluck
the thorny flowers of hell. The ser
mon was based upon Heb. xil:l, and
was in part as follows:
"Whatever your opinion about the
harmlessness of certain kinds of danc
ing, you will all agree with me that
there la a harmful dance, a dissolute
dance, a dance of death. You know of
what I speak. You know the attitudes
more and more bold, more and more
suggestive of evil, and the dancers
swing oft the edge of a decent life
into eternal ruin. You have no right,
my young brother, my sister, to do
that by the sound of the piano or the
violin which would not be right with
out the music.
"But now a word about the harmless
dance of which we hear so much.
For the sake of .argument some people
will take the dance and strip It' of all
its accompaniments and all Its harmful
features and then hold it up with an
air of injured Innocence and say: 'How
can you object to such a simple, harm
less thing as that? I can see no harm
in it.'
' 'I dance with my wife,' said a gen
tleman to me, who was trying to ex
cuse himself for his practice of danc
ing. That may answer to tell a min
ister, who Is supposed to know nothing
about it; but everyone who is familiar
with the modern waltz knows that a
man will not dance with his wife more
than once or twice during the evening.
The ordinary man who follows the
dance would no more think of going
to the ball and dancing all night with
his wife than he would think of going
out into his backyard and splitting
wood all night by moonlight, simply
for amusement."
Speaks for Local Option.
Rev. G. Lv Tufts, of the Portland branch
of the International Reform Bureau,
spoke yesterday morning in the Central
Baptist Church, East Twentieth and An
keny streets, and in the evening in the
Second German Baptist Church on local
option. He urged that every church
member put his shoulder to the wheel
and work to drive saloons out of the resi
dence districts. He says that at least 13
precincts will hold local option elections
June 3.

Talks on Success at If. M. C. A. ,
Rev. Hiram Vrooman was the speaker
at the Y. M. C. A. meeting yesterday af
ternoon. His subject was "Success" and
the keynote of his remarks was that
Christ was the only one who ever at
tained absolutely perfect success in the
full accomplishment of all the objects for
which he lived. The man whose chief
object is to be useful In the world and to
receive, , as a reactionary effect, from hia
usefulness, unselfish qualities of motive
and character, has Christ's guarantee
that magnificent success will be his re
ward. Conduct Building Campaign.
I. B. Rhodes, secretary of the Y. M.

reports that up to Saturday evening
they had secured $12,200, nearly $2000
of this being the result of the efforts
of the High School boys of Payette. Mr.
Rhodes will return to Idaho today.
HOME AND ITS DESTROYERS
DR. SHORT NAMES DIVORCE FAD
AMOXG THEM. .
Extravagance and Intemperance the
Others in Trio of Evils De
nounced From Pulpit.
Rev. Francis Burgett Short, D. D., spoke
at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church
last night on "The Old Homestead and
Its Destroyers." He took for his text
John xiv:lt and said in part:
"Some one has said this text may be
read, 'In, my father's home are many
rooms,' without destroying Its meaning
in the mind of the Master when he ad
dressed the disciples. This being true, it
gives us one of the most sacred words of
our language. I mean the word 'home,'
and I wish that this word might every
where be written with capital letters of
light, so that its sanctity might be indeli
bly stamped upon the heart and In the
minds of men everywhere.
"Home. What does It mean to you?
This is what it means to you whatever
you honestly strive to make It. Home.
How this word of four letters glows with
radiant beauty! Home. It means father
and mother and children. It means life
and light and Joy. It means refuge from
life's turmoil and strife and perplexity
and trouble.
"Home. It means a sacred, implicit,
confiding, all-absorbing relationship be
tween husband and wife and between
parents and children. And as I speak to
you tonight, your mind and your very
heart go leaping back through the years
to the. old homestead the place of your
birth and childhood, and the place where
you were first taught to say the little
prayer, 'Now I lay me down to sleep.'
"The mother at whose knee you learned
that prayer may have long since joined
the Immortals. The father may have
gone into the better beyond. The old
home may have fallen down and the
farm passed into other hands, but with
throbbing heart and tear-dimmed eye you
thank God for the blessed memory and
hallowed associations of the old home
stead. "I call your attention .to three destroy
ers of the American home, any one of
which will destroy your home, my friend,
should you be so unwise as to give It
admission. Destroyer one extravagance.
Home-building is a fine art, and in Its
accomplishment there must be self-sacrifice,
economy and industry; and those
who go forth Into life with lavish, spend
thrift tendencies need never expect to
know what it means In the highest sense
to have a home. Many a husband,
through some extravagant habit, and
many, a wife. In order to gratify her am
bition to conform to 'style,' have spoiled
their possibilities of a home. There is
not only extravagance of money, but ex
travagance of time and extravagance of
health.
"Destroyer two intemperance. This may
be the extravagance of eating too much,
but the extravagance to which I refer is
the extravagance of strong drink. And
this extravagance has destroyed more
homes than all other destroyers com
bined. "Destroyer three-the divorce fad. Mar
riage Is the most sacred relation Into
which two people can possibly enter, and
as such it needs to be guarded by both
the church and the state.

American Contractor Gives Portland
Credit for Big Gain.
Portland gets full credit for her splen
did building record in April in the
American Contractor and Builder, Chi
cago. According to the figures compiled
by that journal Portland leads all the
other cities of the country In the per
cent of increase. Permits for the April
just ended total $1,645,450. while the figures
for April. 1906, are $550,802. This is a
gain of 199 per cent.
The statistics from which the American
Contractor draws Its conclusions Include
54 leading cities of the United 'States.
They are authentic, for they are secured
direct from authoritative sources. They
show that the other leading cities on
this Coast are far behind Portland. For
example; Los Angeles has a loss of 27
per cent In comparison with April, 1906.
Seattle'shows a loss of 31 per cent, while
Tacoma is credited with a gain of 48
per cent and Spokane shows an Increase
In permits of 16 per cent. Owing to con
