THE MORNIAQ OREGQNIAN, MONDAY, AT?GUST 26, 1907. BE Her Greatest Happiness Lies in Obedience, Says Dr. Everett M. Hill. RULED BY LOVE, NOT FORCE Even More to Be Sought Is Submis sion to Mastery of Jesus Christ, Declares Pastor at, Taylor Street Church. "The Toung- Woman Who Found Her Master" was the subject chosen by Rev. Everett M. Hill for his sermon last night at the Taylor Street Methodist Episco pal church. He took for his text Luke 10:39. "Mary sat at Jesus" feet and heard His word." He said that woman kind Is happier if she finds her master, but that the only obedience which any woman should give to mortal man is the obe dience which has been made a pleasure by the compulsion of love. The sermon in part was as follows: Ws have all heard of a woman's reason. It Is "because." Many would say that this W not a reason, but I contend that it Is a reason, and a very strong one. Some pro found reasons cannot be formulated into a logical argument sufficient to satisfy a Judge, yet, though they are not capable of expression In rational language, they are unanswerable. Womankind mors often has these silent, unspeakable proofs In her soul than does man, and knowing that she has not the power to give to another a logical reason for her convictions shs says simply. "Because." Life i.t greater than logic, and woman kind lives nearer to both life and death than does man. Life exists to live, and Its streams must often cut their way through devious and untried paths. 60 womankind Is often eald by men to be Inconsistent. Man is a reasoning animal, and reason Is the mark of divinity In humanity. But reason la not the dlvlnest thing, for "God is love." Though the power of consecutive deductions from a premise Is of measureless value to the race It has tremendous limita tions. Love never falleth. white men exalt the mind, the fact will always obtain that the heart sits on the throne. The night has a thousand eyes. The day but one. But the light of the whole world dies With the setting sun. The mind has a thousand eyes. The heart but one. But the light of the whole life dies When love is done. The intellect l powerless to change a man's nature, to make a criminal a good cltlxen. to give peace of mind to the per son tortured by remorse. This Is only possible through the power of love. When, therefore, we find those who have dis covered some one who has the power of love, even though there Is no reason to be adduced for loving except the power, a dis covery ha been made that Is more far reaching than the power of gravitation and more beneficial than the science of psy chology. Whn Jesus was Invited to eat at the home of Martha and Lazarus. Mary the younger sister, was fascinated by the wond rous words thst poured forth from the Master's lips, and forgetting all about the splendid repast which she and her sister had planned, she sat at the Master's feet, listening to the things that touched the very center of her life. He entered into her Inmost thoughts and spoke as though he had always been familiar with them. He traversed the paths of her nature as a gardener does his well-worked garden, pointing out the broken places in the fences, and the weeds In the flower-beds, until she bowed her. head In sorrow. But when lie taught her how these things could be remedied she lifted her head aud her fare was illumined with the thought of the change wrought In her life. She, who nae been the belle of the neighborhood, the netted one of the home, the leader among the young people of her acquaint ance, the very incarnation of Independence, Is sitting at th- feet of the Master. It Is a great change, but It has been brought about naturally and easily by the great love power of a master mind. Every woman, to find her greatest use fulness and blessedness, needs to find her maBter. I am not saying that every woman to be happy needs to marry, but I believe 'that the happiest marriages are those where the man is master, and both the wife and husband know It. but neither outwardly recognize it. That man who marries a 1 woman and expects to make her obey him !ln everything will And it a hard task., . Obedience from will and from love are two airrerent things. 1 am always glad when even I perform a wedding ceremony that there Is no such word as obey In the serv ice of our church. I do not believe in de manding that a woman shall obey a man. but r do believe in demanding that a woman Is happier If she can feel that her husband Is worthy of being obeyed by her, and she does deep down in her heart, for sweet love's sake, and not because he has the power to compel her to do so. The man who forces a woman to obey him because he Is stronger than she, is no higher than the brute beast. It is the strong forcing obedience from the weak, and It Is a sin. The compulsion of, love, which makes obedience the choicest pleasure,, is the only obedience a woman should give to mortal man. But the only way a woman will find herself most perfectly haapy is through finding her master In the person of Jesus Christ. I have seen women-- whom I felt would never be useful until their hearts had been broken, but If anyone ex cept Lord Jesus breaks the heart there Is danger that not only the heart win be broken but the spirit also. When the life Is a wreck. Christ will hesl the broken heart, and make it stronger than before. So while the woman who finds a complement In the person of a man whom she can love is Indeed greatly blessed, yet if she never finds such and will allow the mastery of me person 01 jesus i:nrist sne will find that her life will bloom and be blessed as mortals have not thought possible. I believe thoroughly in the union of two humsn beings in love, but If for some 'rea son that does not occur then be sure that the union with the heart of Christ will make the life as useful In another way. It Is a fact of universal observation that in the Christian religion there are more women than men. The reason for this Is that women are swerved not so much by reason as by love. Women hava no Joy In abstract principles and theories. Their delight Is In the concrete, and especially as manifested In human beings. As love Is manifested in a person women find in love their heaven without any thought of whether it Is logical or consistent or accord ing to custom. These last have no bearing on the matter. Only the satisfaction of the love life, the giving up of on.' self to the domination of a person whose sway Is love, is the glad desire of womankind. PU. STRATOX BIDS FAREWELL In Closing Sermon Pays Respects to "Tongues of Fire" Sect. Dr. John Roach Straton, who has been occupying the pulpit of the White Temple during Dr. Brougrher's absence in Los Angeles, preached his farewell sermon at the First Baptist Church here last night. He expressed his appreciation for the many courtesies shown him during his visit, and said that h had greatly enjoyed his trip to this wonderful "Western land. ' Speaking on the subject of "Practical Holiness." Dr. Straton eald that as a passport Into heaven he would rather trust the happy smile worn by Dr. Brougher than the long-faced gloom of a claimant to sinless perfection. He took a shot at the new sect which claims that its adherents talk with "other tongues," saying that "the gift of tongues," the claim to which Is often made by those who say they are sinlessly perfect. Is SHOULD WOMN MASTER misunderstood b many,, today. ,T1U YcJrorsvcrmora.' was bestowed upon the apostles at the close of the Pentecostal week at Jeru salem, and again at Corinth and other places, before there uad been time tor the training- of Christian workers In the different languages of the earth. Of those who were gathered In Jerusalem and cosmopolitan Corinth each received instruction in Christian truths in his own language. "The gift of tongues was not a sense less babble, that no one can understand, to be Jabbered at any time that we may be moved by some misguided Impulse, but it Is the operation of the Holy Spirit for a specific purpose to give the truth of' the Qospel to those who could not otherwise understand it; and the Epistle to the Corinthians makes perfectly plain that in Corinth this gift was abused and led to fanaticism, and Paul rebukes it. The same thing Is true today. Many oX these holy things that- are used by the Spirit of God for good are taken by Satan and used for confusion and error." Dr. Straton leaves this morning for Chicago. After a visit of a few days he will go to Baltimore, Md., where he will take up his new duties as pastor of the Seventh Baptist Church. Until re cently Dr. Straton was pastor of the Sec ond Baptist Church at Chicago. Dr. Brougher will return from Cali fornia this week, and will preach to la boring men next Sunday night. Members of the Federated Trades will attend In a body. SERMON ON BANK FAILURE PASTOR WOULiD HAVE MODEL SAVINGS INSTITUTION". . Rev. James D. Corb Says Portland Should Follow Plan Whereby Profits, go to Depositors! As a prelude to his sermon at "the Unlversallst Church of the Good Tid ings, on East Eighth street, yesterday morning. Rev. James D. Corby said: "One of our city banks closed its doors last week, catching- various mem bers of this congregation and, to my surprise, I learn that there is not a savings banks in the City of Portland run for the people and not for private profit. This is not in keeping with the progressive eplrlt of our city, and is unworthy of the New York of the Pa cific. "In the Empire State, savings banks are philanthropic Institutions, designed to assist the wage-earner to save, and safe-guarding his deposits beyond the possibility of loss. The charter is granted to a group of men who desire to serve their fellows. The Btate bank ing law prescribes the kind of securi ties in which these funds may be in vested namely, in bondes and mort gages and in certain railway bonds of a non-speculative character. Any prof Its accruing; belong to the bank and depositors, not to the directors. Ac counts uncalled for become part of the surplus, and usually are used to house the institution. "The directors serve the depositors not for personal profit, but virtually donate their skill at the various board meetings to investing the money of the poor in these safe securities ap proved by the state banking law, thus earning Interest for those who could not otherwise Invest their email amounts. "Is not the time ripe for the organ ization of such an institution in our city? Could we not anticipate the law and follow the plan which is so suc cessful in the East? The pitiful dis tress of those whose little all Is tied up by the cloeed doors shows the im perative need for such a bank, where the depositor is assured of his money being Invested in stable and approved securities. As practically every bank In town has Its savings department, it must be quite profitable to pay 34 or 4 per cent on deposits while loans are made at from to 12 per cent. "Wonderful and visionary as it may seem, I verily believe there are a score of men In this beautiful city capable and willing to devote their time and experience to launching this greatly needed institution without hope or ex pectation of personal profit." Following the prelude to the sermon, Mr. Corbey took up the regular topic of the morning, which was "Some Helps to Happiness." JOYS LIE WITHIN CHURCH 1 SINFUL PLEASURES FliEETIXG, SAYS DR. WILSON. Pastor of Grace Church Tells Con gregation, "How to Be Happy y Though Religious." Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of th& Grace Methodist Church, told his con gregation last night "How to Be Happy Though Religious He took for his text, "The joy of the Lord is thy strength." He said In part: There are people who are inclined to think that there is no joy in the Lord, but that all life's joys must come from sources of an opposite character. They think there Is joy In the wine cup, In the dance, in the social whirl and In Irregular living, but fall to see pleasure in a Godly life. Hap piness In a legitimate pursuit for all. The avolance of pain and the seeking of pleasure is to be commended and never condemned. If condemnation comes In con nection with It, it is for seeking those things in the wrong way. The emotional nature is implanted by the Deity. Its normal means of expression Is through excitement. Men flee from monot ony and hate stagnation. They love the tingling of excited nerves, and the throb bing of the quickening heartbeat. The religion of Jesus Christ proposes to meet this craving for human happiness, to fill the mind with pleasure and to stimulate emotional joy. This wag the meaning of Paul when he eald, "Be not 'drunken with wine wherein Is riot, but be filled with the spirit, speaking one with another In psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts unto God." The intimation Is that he who goes to the wine cup for pleasure is on the wrong trail for permanent peace, and that the Holy Spirit la a natural stimulus to every human spirit. Therefore, those who think that religion should be stripped of all emotion would clip the wlnga of Christianity. The early church was borne to its orig inal triumphs pn the pinions of holy song and exultant religious emotion. Once In a while you see a Christian who acts as if his religion didn't agree with him. His face suggests a funeral. You might sup pose that his Father in heaven had died and didn't leave him anything. But long faced Christianity is not the true repre sentative of the religion of him who said, "My peace I give unto you, that your Joy may be full." I have found that the more thoroughly Christian we become the more rapid our increase in happiness, and that a genuine religious lire brings into play the health ful activities of the body, the normal work ings of the mind and the robust service of the soul. The healthy religious life will not interfere with the normal workings of the Joys of the triune man. See by contrast how those who llvt a life of sinful pleasure find the reaction that sets in after every, day's enjoyment or night's carousal. See the harvest of broken promises and disappointed lives, the bitter corroding regrets that follow a life of sin. and tell me if wickedness does not destroy more Joys than it creates, and If the few joys it does create are not exceed ingly short-lived. The God who is the father of our spirits has so constructed the soul and the universe, its home, that right Ulng harmonizes the oul with its God, Its conscience, and its environment. Of him we can say. "In thy presence Is fulness of joy. and at thy right hand are pleasures KEEPS FEAST M St. Mary's Church Honors Patron Saint. OBSERVES ITS NATAL DAY During Twenty Tears Since Its Founding Parish Has Grown to S00 Members and Main- tains Club and School. St. Mary's Church, Alblna, celebrated the feast of Its patron taint and also observed Its 20th anniversary yesterday. The church had been handsomely dec orated for the occasion, and every seat was occupied. Archbishop , Christie offi ciated, in honor of the Important oc casion, but did not take part In the solemn high mass that was celebrated at the morning service. Rev. Father Daly, the pa3tor. had general charge of the ser vices, assisted by Fathers Black, OUvottl and other priests of the city. Special music was provided for the occasion. Father Black, of St. Francis Church, delivered the sermon, which was eloquent and commanded close attention. Eloquent tributes were paid to the patron saint of the church, and the memory of Father Van Un. The speaker also refered to Bishop O'Reilly. Bishop of Baker City, and former pastor of the church, wTio did so much to build up the parish before his promo tion to the high position of bishop. For the past 20 years the church and parish have made rapid progress. When founded the church was surrounded with a forest which has given way to the growth of the city. The small church was replaced by - the present edtflca in 1888, and which was dedicated with solemn ceremony in 1894. In connection with the church St. Mary's school was -founded and opened September 4, 1888, by Sister Mary Alberta, O. S. D., assisted by Sister Mary Emlla. A new building was erected and the work of Christian education has progressed on a large scale by the Domi nican Staters. Last year a high school was added to the educational facilities of the parish, the total enrollment being 326. The Catholio Toung Men's Club, another organization of importance started last year, has a clubhouse under way that will cost $15,000. The club has the ap proval ' of Archbishop Christie and the hearty indorsement and support of many -citizens of Albina. It will be completed this Fall and become one of the most Important organizations in connection with the church. The Holy Cross parish at University Park, where a new church was recently erected and a school pro jected, and the parish at Piedmont, were both under the charge of St. Mary's parish for several years, but have now become independent. St. Mary's Church has a membership of 600. It was founded by SO Catholic families that fathered at the home of John Kelly, December, 1888. The outlook for the parish for larger work Is excel lent. It now owns nearly a whole block at Stanton street and Williams avenue. The large growth of the parish was due largely to Rev. G. B. Van Lin, the first pastor, and Bishop J. C. O'Reilly, the second pastor, Father Van Lin died In 1894. He was a cultured man and a model priest. Although never robust he devoted untiring energy to the parish. Father O'Reilly, became pastor when a younr , man, but his work Is well re membered. Father Daly, the present pastor, is a worthy successor of these devoted men. He has carried on the work they started with marked success and Is respected by non-Catholics as well as Catholics. SYMPOSIUM OX SPIRITUALISM Five Speakers Present Different Phases of Belief. The symposium on Spiritualism, last night at the First Spiritual Society, Ar tisans' Hall, was participated in by five speakers. Mrs. Congdon presented the phenomenal side. She said that many are apt to make light of the raps, table tipping and the phenomena classed under the head of "physical" as trivial spiritual forces. Nothing is trivial in Spiritualism, she said. The Inception of all new movements commences with the minute, and without It all the other evolutions of growth would be impossible. The spirit rap Is of far more Importance than the telegraph, she concluded, for it assures us that the individual man still lives after death. H. B. Campbell contrasted modern Spiritualism with the ancient Spiritual ism of the Bible, and said that they were identical. "The hand that wrote on the wall before the prophet-medium Daniel, the deliverance of Peter from prison by a spirit, the conversation that Jesus held with the spirits of Moses and Ellas on the Mount, the vLslon of Paul on his way to Damascus, have all been duplicated In the modern world." he said. "No'hlng more startling happened In ancient times than Is now taking place In Australia, in the circles being held by T. Stanford, a brother of the late Senator Leland Stan ford, of California, with the medium Bailey." F. Coulter treated the subject from the jnental point of view. He said in part: "It Is an error to suppose that one can realize spirit througfi the intellect or the senses. This is a mistake. A man must first realize his own spirit before he can realize other spirits. What we mostly now realize is the physical body and the Intellect. One's spiritual nature can only be realized through the affections! nature love which is the God-center or king dom of heaven within us. This Is the door through which angels manifest their presence." Professor Taylor discussed the scientific side. He stated that every law in the universe spiritual, mental and physlclal Is scientific. "If this were not so," he continued, "our faith would be In vain, for we could reckon on no side of life being stable. Every new movement went through three phases: first, indifference, then ridicule, and finally acceptance. The leading scientists of the world are now In the last phase in relation to Spiritualism. But Spiritualism was Just as scientific as it is now before the scientists accepted It." E. de Toung presented the spiritual side. He said that there was in reality only one side to Spiritualism and that was the spiritual point of view: "Spiritual things are spiritually dis cerned," he said. "But men in various stages of mental and physical evolution can only be aroused to cultivate their spiritual natures by that which appeals to the phase of being they realize. The physical and mental, phenomena of" Spiritualism serve as means to that end." SPEAKS TO FORMER CHARGE Dr. House Preaches on "World's ' Greatest Markets." Dr. E. L. House, pastor of the West minster Congregational Church, of Spo kane, formerly of the First Congrega tional Church, of Portland, spoke at the First Church yesterday morning on "The World's Greatest Market." He said in part: iihaaesneara-llltena-tha. w.orld-o .yktga1J A MAN invests his money in life insurance poli cies and he gets about 3 per cent on his money. A savings account will probably yield about 4 per cent. If he puts his money into mort gages and the like, he will get 6 per cent to 7 per cent. Some men prefer to use all they make in their business, realizing all the way from 10 to 100 per cent. These are all excellent ways of invest ment and probably as safe as could be desired. Has it oc curred to you, however, that the richest men in Portland are the heaviest property owners? It is not untrue to state that there are men who have made as high as 1000 per cent on their realty in vestments. Where they have a large sum of money at their command, they may be able to take advantage of condi tions that others could not handle. As a general propo sition, you will make far more by investing in Rose City Park property than you will be able to realize from almost any other source. See us about it. Hart man 6 Thompson BANKERS Chamber of Commerce. and It Is well. But Paul likens It to a market, when he tells us to "redeem the time." or the better Interpretation "to buy up the opportunity." If the world Is a mar ket, we should remember that we pass through It but once. This should Impress us with the Importance of selecting the greater things as over the minor things of life. If a man goes through a great museum but'once he chooses to see the beat thinge. When a man gives himself for whatever he buys, whether It be good or bad. It Is a great price to pay, and we should get the greatest dividends for the giving. It Is also true that a man should get a value out of everything that he handles. This the wise merchant does. So, out of our professions and occupations there should come moral and spiritual values. If we are to reach our best selfhood. We should buy In the market the things that last. Material possessions must he left behind us, but character wa take with us. Dr. House will return' to his ranch at Hood River for the rest of the week, and will then go to take up his pastoral duties at Spokane. American Yachtsmen Dined. BERLIN, Aug. 25. The American yachtsmen who competed recently in the races for the Emperor Wllhelm cup, went for an excursion on the River Spree today to Grunau and return. They were dined tonight at the Wannseee Yacht Club by Oscar Huld schinsky, one of the leading yachtsmen of Germany. SOUTHERN PACinO. Leaving Portland Shasta Express Cottage Grove Passenger.

This is not theory but fact. What has been done in Bay City can be done again.
