Richest Man in the World Tells
, Pitiful and Disgusting
, Lies.
SO SAYS DR. EVERETT HILL
Overfed Class la Fully as Dangerous
as Unfortunates Who Are
Underfed, ' Declares tho
Methodist Pastor.
The pastors of two large Methodist
churches of the city, Taylor-street and
Grace Churches, spoke last night on
economic conditions and the remedy.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson chose as his
subject: "Get-Rich-Quick Schemes vs.
Honest Money," while Rev. Everett M.
BUI, the acting pastor of the Taylor
street Church, told of "The Young Man
In the Bread Line."
Rev. Dr. Hill said that the class
which is overfed is as dangerous as
that which la underfed, and that both
are a menace to society. He said It
was with a feeling of disgust that he
read of the efforts John D. Rocke
feller put forth to escape being placed
upon the witness stand to testify to the
truth, but that probably Rockefeller
thought he could be just as good a
Christian and do such things, as he
I did not take his religion Into his busi
ness relations.
Rev. Mr. Hill read as texts Matt. !v:4,
Ex. xvi:ll-21 and John vl:22-0. Be
said in part:
"The hungry man Is near the line of
criminality. The man who is underfed
is a dangerous man, because his physi
cal body is calling so loudly for nour
ishment that his mental and spiritual
powers cannot be heard. Jean Valjean
was sent to the gallows for stealing a
loaf of bread to feed his hungry sister.
There Is no conscience where there Is
so great a cry for food.
Must Work to Eat.
"Paul, the apostle, has said. He that
will not work neither ahall ha n.t" fin
ha. given us the seed and the sunshine?lreo".ons were followed carefully and
and rain and we are to see that these
things are used so that the seed will
multiply that the hungry household
may be fed. But when a man cannot
work because there Is no work fur
nished him, or because he is not al
lowed to work, is it right for him to
starve? He refuses to starve. When
nature cries out for food he will go
back to nature and get food somehow.
There are two dangers in ' the food
problem, overfeeding and underfeeding.
"The saddest and, to me, the most
disgusting thing in the publlo press
that has come to. my notice for a long
time la the spectacle of a great rich
man, the richest man in the United
States, trying to avoid being Berved
with a subpena to appear in court and
tell the truth. There he has been on
the ranch of his son-in-law, just out
from Plttsfleld, Mass., and the Marshal
who called was told that he was not
there.
"Here Is this man, a member of the
church of God, and yet countenancing
lying in order to avoid standing up In
a court of justice and telling the truth.
Just think of it for a moment, and
think what tho poor people of the land
must think of a church when it raises
up such a man. Think of the results
upon the church. If a member of the
official board of my church should go
off on a big drunken spree I would
not feel as badly as I feel over this
thing. And yet I suppose the great
king of finance can smile and pray
Just as readily. This Is a case of over
feeding. Rich Criminals Immune.
"Francis J. Heney, of San Franciscov
told the truth the other day when he
said that the rich criminal can do
anything that he wants to do, against
the law or not, and cover it up with
a roll of bills discreetly handed to the
key man in the case. On the other
hand, the working man who threw a
brick because he was trying to get
Justice was lodged in Jail immediately.
The man who can buy immunity from
Justice Is the more dangerous man.
"The man in the tread line is the less
dangerous man. Yet he is also a dan
gerous man, because he is at the other
extreme. I believe that this richest
man in the United States is not a sane
man, just as I believe that the man
who is hungry is not a sane man while
his body is crying out for food. Ex
tremes on either side create unbal
anced minds.
"The problem in America is funda
mentally greed and money-madness,
but is not this the problem to be solved
In all lands? That the laws of our
tend need to be adjusted to meet the
new conditions which have taken shape
within the last few years, that both
capital and labor may be protected, Is
self-evident. We need the capital and
we need the labor.
"We must realize, too, that other
things cause unrest In our land of lib
erty. One of these is the coming to
this land of all manner of foreigners,
who are not trained for our freedom.
They come here, find a free country,
and forthwith are intoxicated with the
idea. Then they demand still more
freedom, until their demands amount
to license. They stand upon the height
and look at the depths from which
they come and are dazzled at the sight.
Congestion Is a Danger.
"Again, the massing together of
many of these people, uneducated in
American ideals and poor at the out
set, educated, moreover, in the Old
World Ideals of wrong and oppression,
creates a congested danger point, a
smouldering spark which will ever and
anon burst forth into flame. Then,
too, the flooding to the large cities of
the country-bred people who have been
used to fresh air and freedom causes
still- more trouble. The saloon is
another trouble breeder. "When wine's
in, wit's out," always, and when bad
beer is in what brains the patient had
are addled. The letting down of re
ligious conceptions of life make- for
danger and create evil.
"Finally, the scattering broadcast of
the writings of great but erratic men,
telling of Utopias which are heavenly
in their conception, but untenable In
the present stage of society, make an
other grave cause for unrest, and ag
gravate the danger. When poor men
see the flaunting of the wealth of the
rich in their faces, as is constantly
done, while they are in poverty, hatred
is engendered, and the unrest is still
more pronounced.
"To think of solving the problem of
life Just by working at the question of
dally bread makes me think of a phy
sician who applied liniment to the
back of a man's neck when he had can
cer of the stomach."
NO SHORT CUT TO WEALTH
Dr. Clarence True Wilson Warns
Against Evil of Covetousness.
The service at the Orace Methodist
Church last night was a combination
of the meeting of the Young People's
Society and the regular Sunday gather
ing, the young people leading the ex
ercises for the first half hour, and the
pastor following with the sermon of
the evening.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson took for
his text I. Tim. vl: 6-10 (R. V.): "God
liness with contentment is great gain,
for we brought nothing into the world,
for neither can we carry anything out;
but having food and covering we shall
therewith be content. But they that
are minded to be rich fall into a temp
tation and a snare ahd many foolish
and hurtful lusts,, such as drowned
men in destruction and perdition. For
the love of money is a root of all kinds
of evil, which some reaching after have
been led astray from the faith and
have pierced themselves through with
many sorrows." Dr. Wilson said In
part:
"Tho old version of the Bible says.
The love of money is the root of all
evil.' But whoever will look at the
original Greek will be convinced at
once that this is a false translation and
that the revised version that I have
quoted renders it correctly, the latter
being vastly different. There are many
evils in this world that cannot be
traced to a love of money, but an In
ordinate love for gain will plunge its
votary into almost any kind of evil
unless he puts on brakes.
"The money-making, money-saving
world is divided into two departments,
the get-rich-quick schemes and the sal
ary process of honest industry, careful
savings, prudent investments and pa
tience in waiting for results.
" There is a way that seemeth right
unto a man, but the ends thereof are
the ways of death.' This proverb finds
its fullest Illustration in the shortcuts
to wealth. Any man who promises you
a "sure-thing, ground-floor proposition'
where a very little money or a prom
ise of money insures an immediate for
tune, Is himself a fraud, and believes
you to be a fool. There are too many
men with millions, quick-witted and
keen-eyed for safe Investments for
their money, to permit any chances for
certain fortunes' to be lying around
loose.
"A man told me this week of the
case of an Innocent fellow from the
country visiting a fortune teller, palm
ist, spiritualist medium, or all three
combined, and paying the munificent
sum of 50 oents for advice as to in
vestments. The woman went into a
trance and described a building so
many stories high, an office, and a man
with Iron-gray moustache and hair a
little whiter than his whiskers, who
would recommend a bargain, and that
If this opportunity ever came to the
subject he --would gain $10 for every
dollar Invested, and would only wish
after the opportunity had passed that
he had invested more. Of course these
fthe dupe bought paper not worth as
much to him as the cost of printing It.
It looked as thougl) the medium was
in partnership with the get-rich-quick
man whom he recommended.
"We have nothing but condemnation
for the frauds who prey upon fools,
but the sin of trying to get something
for nothing, of making a fortune with
out paying an equivalent in money,
time, thought or service, is the covet
ousness which Paul says is Idolatry,
and before this god many fall down
in abjrect worship. This Is not only a
sin of the rich, who have their mil
lions, are captains of Industry and cor
ner markets, but it also strikes the
poor, and does them fully as much
damage. It makes the rich, though in
their early life they may have possessed
high principles, oppress the poor, and
it causes the poor to envy the rich,
cultivate covetousness, and go Into all
kinds of wildcat ventures, which lead
them astray from the faith, and which
pierce them through with many sor
rows. "If I could see the young men who
are before me starting out with the
principle that they would early culti
vate the spirit of benevolence, setting
aside a proportion, at least one-tenth
of all they earn to be invested in ohar
ity, and that they would form a self
obligation to put away in safe Invest
ment the same proportion that they
give away, and that as the Income in
creases personal expenses would re
main down where they belong and at
the mark we early learned to live in
comfort upon, I would be sure that they
would have a financially prosperous
life without the disadvantages of dis
content and disappointment.
The proportion saved would give
them something to fall back upon as
age advances, and the proportion given
away would, be an antidote for that
love of money which is a root of all
kinds of eviL While planning for the
making of money one needs an influ
ence which will counteract this love, so
that he shall not be money-blinded, and
so that his morality and religion shall
not be moneyized. Beneficence Is the
key to this situation.
"I know a woman who, after years
of saving, consulted a- clairvoyant, who
in turn consultod the stars, or pretend
ed to, and then, with a wise and far
away look, said, T see a great fortune
coming to you out of the ground. This
led to, remarks about certain oil and
mining stocks that were being exploit
ed at that time, and I know how that
woman has struggled on for years since
that time, borrowing and saving that
she might Invest In every fake mine
and oil well of whloh she heard, only
to pieroe herself through with, many
sorrows. '
"Indeed, It has been my fortune as
the pastor of churches In Oregon and
in Southern California, to be consulted
by many persons who had Invested In
these wild 'get-rich-quick, sure-thing
schemes, and had lost all. But If there
has ever been one who has Invested and
gained thereby, the information -has
failed to reach me. The wise man said,
as recorded in the Proverbs, "Give me
neither poverty nor riches. Feed me
with the food that is needful for me,
lest I be full and deny thee and say
who is the Lord; or lest I be poor and
steal and handle profanely the name
of my God.' "
Next Sunday night Dr. Wilson will
take for his subject, "Fool Catchers
and the Parasites Which Prey Upon the
Life pf Portland."

CHURGH LEADERS
HOLD BIG RALLY
Presbyterian Topics Discussed
by Prominent Speakers at
First Church.
NOLAN RICE BEST. SPEAKS
Progress and Unification of Presby
terians All Over Country Are
Causes for Congratulation
fcy Von Ogden Vogt. '
A' rally of all the Presbyterian churches
of the city was held last night at the
First Presbyterian Church, the speeches
of the evening being made by Von Ogden
Vogt, of New York City; Nolan Rice
Best, editor of the Interior of Chicago,
the Presbyterian organ of the United
States: and Rev. W. S. Holt. D. D.. of
Portland. AU the Presbyterian ministers
of Portland were on the rostrum, with
the exception of Rev. E. M. Sharp. D. D.,
of the Mount Tabor Church, and Rev.
Henry Marcotte, of the Westminster Pres
byterian Church. '
Those present were Rev. A. D. Soper,
of the Millard Avenue Church: Rev.
George W. Arms, Jr., of the Anabel
Church; Rev. H. H. Pratt, of the Forbes
Church; Rev. E. Nelson Allen, of the
Hawthorne Park Church: Rev. A. J.
Montgomery, of the Third Church; Rev.
J. R. McGlade D. D., of the Mizpah
Church: Rev. W. 9.' Holt,D. D., synodi
cal missionary; Von Ogden Vogt, Nolan
Rice Best, Rev. B. E. S. Ely, D. r., of
the Calvary Church; Rev. William Hiram
Foulkes, D. D.. of the First Church; Rev.
G. A. Blair, of the Vernon Church: C.
W. Hayes, of the Marshall Street
Church; Rev. A. D. Thompson, of the
Sellwood Church; Rev. J. R. Welch, of
the Fourth Church; Rev. A. H. Burk
holder, of the Fulton Church, and Rev.
White, of the Montavilla Church.
Union oj Presbyterians.
In introducing Mr. Vogt to the audi
ence, Dr. Foulkes spoke of the union
which has been accomplished between
different bodies of the Presbyterians. He
said he believed the time would come
within the lives of those present when
there would be no North, South, East
or West in the Presbyterian Church of
this country, but all would be one. The
three speakers of the evening, he said,
represented three sections of our land,
but, this did not mean that they would
give a sectional message. "Mr. Vogt is
a nation-wide Presbyterian, though he
lives in New York," he said. "The sec
retary of the board of home missions
for Young People's Work, and the sec
retary of the National Presbyterian
(Brotherhood will now speak to you."
Mr. Vogt said In part: "In represent
ing Presbyterlanlsm in New York and the
East it would be appropriate to indicate,
the most recent . and the most modern
Presbyterian enterprise which .has grown
up largely because of the conditions of
life In the modem city. Some time ago
I heard some criticisms of the church,
one being by a laboring man in a city
mission meeting. Another was by a So
cialist newspaper, in which a prominent
social thinker told one of the Eastern
leaders that he did not think the church
any longer .cared for the deepest need3
of the people. Another criticism was
by a Columbia University professor, who
said. If you people within the church do
not watch out, you will find more of
the Kingdom of God without than
within.
"We nave established a bureau in New
York City for the purpose of doing two
things, interesting the working man in
the church, and interesting the church in
the working man. This bureau Is called
the department of church and labor,
and Is sending out literature to the mem
bers of the church, in order that they
may interest themselves in social and
public questions, and it is also sending
letters weekly to 300 labor papers, that
the working man may be brought to
think about the church.
More Churches In Country.
'"I would call your attention to the fact
that there is now one Protestant church
in the country districts for every 441 peo
ple, while in New" York City there is
only one church for every 4700 people.
It. is also a fact that out of every two
men in this land, one of them was born
on alien soil. In the last 20 years 17
Protestant churches in New York City
have moved out of the region below
Fourteenth street, while in the same time
200,000 people have moved in.
"There are 22,000 Indians in the
Navajo Reservation, with 6000 children
having no school privileges. These
facts should arouse us as a church to
action that conditions may be bet
tered. We must arise and come Into
our estate."
Nolan Rice Best entered upon his
address by telling of the growth of
the Men's Presbyterian Brotherhood of
Chicago. Mr. Best .said that out of
this had grown in the past year what
was the most notable event in Presby
terian circles in the Central West, the
organization of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood, which is not for young
men particularly, but for men of all
years of life, and which, has brought
together, notably In the cities of TV?
troit, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and St.
Louis very extraordinary unions of
Presbyterian men.
"I am glad a similar brotherhood
has been organized In Portland." con
tinued Mr. Best. "If this brotherhood
were Flmply some new phase of ma
chinery In the church, an excuse for
one more constitution and set of offi
cers and coterie of managers I should
certainly expect, if Indeed I did not
invite, your condemnation of the whole
idea.
"1 certainly believe in the church,
and do not believe in any organization
or inner circle within the church. But
whatever this may have been Intended
to be by some who are Interested in it,
I can sincerely say that, to my view, it
is not an organization of certain men
within the church, but is calculated to
be a movement of all the men of the
Presbyterian churches. As such I am
Interested In it and oommend it to
you." .
Rev. W, S. Holt told of home mission
work in Oregon,- The address was
characterized by witticisms thrown in
at short intervals. The speech in part
follows:
"All the good things we have In Ore
gon are the result of missions. The
first church was founded by mission
ary effort in 1858. ' It died because
there was not enough missionary en
terprise to keep it running. In 1865 it
came to life again.
"There are many interesting and
wonderful things about the growth of
the' church in Portland. There are
some men sitting on the platform who
not only want to hear of what God has
done for us In Oregon, but who will
have to hear it, for they are on the
platform and can't get away. Calvary
never was dependent on a mission
board, but Calvary's, mother sat on. a
board as long as she could, that is
until the board got so slippery that she
slid off.
"We wanted a missionary to work In
Barney County, in which, if the State
of New Jersey was brought out and
covered over It, there would be nothing
but the mosquitoes to tell you where
New Jersey should be. We found a
man In Iowa who was doing well but
thought he could do more If he came
to Oregon. He had saved up $200 but
that was in an Eastern state. He spent
the $200 to come to Oregon, brought
his wife so there wouldn't be trouble
with another man, and, also brought
the baby because it Is against the law
to kill the babies in Iowa. We agreed f
to put him on a salary of $900 a year
In Irregular monthly payments. He
went to work and part of the time
had to go to plowing, but he worked.
Then he bought a couple of "cayuses
and traveled over the country, holding
meetings, and we have had a number
of calls from there for more workers,
where before there were no churches
and many saloons, even on Sunday,
and some of you used to know what
that meant."
Dedicate Church of Nazarene.
The Church of the Naserene in Sell
wood was dedicated yesterday after
noon with an appropriate service in
the presence of a large congregation.
Rev. J. H. and Mrs. Etta Mclntyre are
in charge of the Sellwood church. The
old building formerly occupied by the
Sellwood Methodist Church was se
cured and also a lot was purchased.
It was through the assistance of the
First Church on the West Side that,
this Sellwood property was secured.
It has been remodeled and repainted
throughout.
"TRUE ESTIMATE OF LIFE"
DR. FORD DRAWS LESSON FROM
SOLOMON'S LIFE.
Pastor Points Out That Whole Duty
of Man la to Keep God's .
Commandments.
"The True Estimate of Life was the
topio of Dr. Ford's sermon yesterday
morning in the Sunnyslde Methodist
Church. He said In part:
The theme selected for consideration, this
morning la "The True Estimate of Life.' and
the words chosen for a text are: "Let us
hear the conclusion of the whole matter;
Fear God and keep his commandments)
for this is the whole duty of man." .
A proper estimate of life, its relations
and obligations. Its sacredness and respon
sibility, its scope and aim, is essential to
true progress, the largest achievement and
the greatest happiness. Eence the lessons
drawn from the experiences and utterances
of the wise, the rood and the great of age
past are of inestimable value to us in our
study of the many-sided problems of life.
Therefore the words selected, cgmlng to us
as they do, from Solomon, the statesman,
the philosopher, the man of science, to
whom Ood save wisdom, and who excelled
in all ancient learning, reach us athwart
the wide waste of centurtes with accumu
lated power and significance, giving us a
marvelous introspection of life.
The question as to whether Solomon be
came a final apostate, and sank to depths
of shame corresponding to the heights of
departed glory. Is incidental and speculative.
It is sufficient to say that he cast shadows
as deep as the light he received. This is
true of all men who walk not in the light
Standing no longer on the summit of
fame, receiving the htunage of kings and
queens, but sitting in the valley, amid blend
ing lights and shadows deepening into dark
ness, beholding dissolving views of the past
and looking across the stormy sea, he giTes
us the sum of life In words which quiver
with the forces of human and dlvlns phi
losophy. The fear of Ood Includes the knowledge,
worship and love of Ood. "He that cometh
to 'God must believe that he is, and that
he Is a. rewarderof them that diligently
seek him." Those who believe know God.
"God is a spirit, and seeketh such to wor
ship him as worship In spirit and In truth."
"The love of God is shed 'abroad 1b our
hearts by the.- Holy Ghost which is given
unto us." We love God because he first
loved us." "Xiove is the fulfilling of the
law."
Keep his commandments. There is law.
There is moral law. Moral law is eternal.
It holds forever In all relations between
God and man, and between man and man.
We must keep his commandments. If we
love God we will keep his commandments.
There Is relation between love and law.
There la law because thsre is love. Love
is the basis of true obedience. True
obedience Is the way of safety, and affords
the largest liberty.
The text warns us against the phantoms
of life. It gives us a true conception of
Ufa. It lifts it into sacredness, dignifies
all its activities. It brings the whole range
of life and all our works-into the sphere
of duty to God. The whole duty and work
of man is summed up in the fear of God,
and obedience to his laws. This is the con
clusion of the whole matter. There Is
nothing outside of this, there is nothing
above, there is nothing beyond this "to
fear God and keep his commandments."
Dr. Ford made the following announce
ment yesterday morning concerning his
programme for the Summer:
"I have promised the managers of the
camfi-meetlng .at Canby to spend next
Sunday there, ynd preach for them, and
have arranged for the Rev. A. A. Luce,
pastor of our church at The Dalles, to
nil my pulpit that day. He is a good
preacher and successful pastor, and I
want you to hear him. He is a friend
of our brother and sister Zollinger.
"So far as I know this will be the only
Sunday that I shall be away from my
church during the Summer. It would be
pleasant in many ways to take a vaca
tion, and I congratulate my ministerial
brethren who are so located as to be
able to arrange for the care of their
work while they take a brief respite in
the mountains, or at the seashore, but
I am not so situated. Besides, there are
many who cannot take a vacation, and
they will have slcknesa troubles and
sorrow and will need a roister and the
help of the gerffces of thsj sanctuary, and

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Though the atmospheric pressure
has undergone a marked decrease
since this morning, it still continues
comparatively high over northwest Wash
ington, and low over southern Nevada. This
distribution has resulted In a continuation
