PREAGHER'S LIFE
IS THREATENED'
Dr. Brougher Tells of Letter
Promising Him Fate of
Harvey Brown.
CALLS WRITER A SNEAK
Saym Duty or Every Man Is to Disre
gard Consequences, However Vn
weloome, and Do What He
Considers Right.
That hs will be given "the same
medicine that Harvey Brown received"
if he does not stop preaching: the kind
of sermons he delivered on the night
of October 6 at the White Temple, is
the threat made to Dr. J. "Whitcomb
Brougher, In an anonymous letter re
ceived by him recently, which was
jnarked with the double cross and
two skulls to emphasize the statement.
The sermon referred to in the letter
was delivered to a large congregation,
and in it the preacher said condign
punishment should be meted out to the
assaseina of Brown, and to the alleged
slanderers and blackmailers of Mayor
Lane. Dr. Brougher told, in his pulpit
last night, of the letter he had re
ceived, saying In part:
In the New Testament we hftve one anony
mous letter the Epistle to the Hebrews. No
ons knows exactly who wrote It. When the
letter first appeared In eeneral circulation.
three distinct opinions about It obtained
local currency. At Alexandria the Epimlfl
In Greek wat considered to bo from Paul's
dictation. Jn North ATrlca, Barnabas was
considered the author. Others have con
sidered A polios or Aqullla as the author.
bcholars have studied (he form of expres
sions and compared them with acknowledged
writings of I'aul. and yet after considering
. an me aaia, no one Knows exactly who
wrote It. This anonymous epistle Is In many
respects far different from most of the
snonymous letters that are written today.
The writer to the Hebrews had a great
purpose to accomplish and, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, he performed his duty without
giving tils name to the world. In studytn;
tne purpose for which this Epistle was
written, wi may at the same time study
by contrast the reason why many anonymous
letters are written today.
Threatened AVith Death.
W henever our enemies write an anons -
nious letter to us they usually attempt, by
threats, to frighten us away from doing
1 duty. I have had a number of letters
of that character. They have prophesied
that dire vengeance would come upon my
head. They declared that they would ruin
my reputation. They have threatened to
tar and feather me and shoot me and blow
me up with dynamite. A letter I received
this last week said If I did not stop preach
Ing such sermons as X delivered last Sun
day night that I would soon ba. where
Harvey brown is. They said 1 was marked
with a double cross, and to give It emphasis
they put In the pictures of two skulls and
crofcsbones. Now my friends, I think, how
ever, brown went to heaven and while It
is a pity that low-lived villains should
have taken his life, yet to be blown up and
sent to heaven doing your duty Is a great
deal better than to live In this world and
fall to do what you believe to be your duty
to God and man. These sneaking cowards
that write anonymous letters probably
fact that no threat that they could pos
sibly make In an anonymous letter would
swerve a brave man a hair's breadth from
the path of duty.
When the life of Napoleon was threatened
by his own soldiers, he walked coolly Into
the midst of his disaffected generals and
Id. "Soldiers, you are Frenchmen! You
are too many to be cowardly enough to as
saslnate me and you are too few to Intimi
date me!" "His calm, bold assurance won
their admiration and led them to follow
him to vie tor v In his Ecvptlan campaign.
Luther's life was continually threatened
by cowardly assassins, but he moved straight
on without tear or man to ao mi auty. no
declared when his enemies said they would
burn his body to ashes, "If you make a fire
that reaches from here to Wittenberg, and
that flames up to heaven, in the Lord s
name X would pass through it and appear
before you!" Facing his foes, he declared,
Here I staafl! I cannot do otherwise, uoa
help m!" No true man who believes In
God and duty will ever be frightened by the
threats of a sneaking coward who puts it
In an anonymous letter. y
Such Letters Beneath Notice.
No man of any character would permit
such an anonymous screed to annoy him,
for one moment. Purposing a man In a
fit ef anger goes mad and foams at the
mouth and calls you all the vile names
known to the human tongue, that doesn't
hurt you If they are not so. He doesn't
hurt anybody but himself. If you keep
your temper and keep sweet, he has abso
lutely failed to oo anything out reveai nis
own diabolical nature and corrupt heart.
A man calied at the house of l'erfcles
and abused him. The man's anger knew no
bounds. He vented his spite In the most
terrible language at his command. He was
violent in his speech that he paused only
from sheer exhaustion. When he ttirned to
mo Pericles smiled and said to a servant
"As It Is dark, bring a ngnt ana guiue tins
man home." A friend asked Socrates how
he could, bear such an everlasting scold as
bis wife. Socrates replied, "I have so ac
customed myself to It that It offends me no
more than the noise of carnages in tne
street." The snonymous attacks of our
enemies ought to be a matter of absolute
1 Indifference to us.
In all ages there have ben raise rrtenas
who have turned upon those with whom
they seemed to be friendly and attacked
thein. It Is a fact that people who wil
attack your character or your life In an
under-handed way never have the courage
to face you and put up a fair fight. Human
nature in all ages has been very much the
same. I do not object to anonymous let
ter thst come as a real warning, and that
how the real spirit or friendliness, but
believe that -t is far better for a friend to
come and tell you exactly the situation,
and then the two stami together to meet
the emergency, if I am your mend i ought
not only to write you and warn you of eomi
nlot that Is being laid to ruin your repu
tatlon, or to take your life, but I ought to
come to vou ana ten von trie tacts as i
know them and then pledge you my sup
port In defeating the scheme. i nave ap
preciated letters of this kind that 1 have
received from frier ds, but I have apprecl-
ted more their coming 40 me later anc
tandina bv me. Secret friends are good.
but open. posltte friends are better.
Moral Backbone Needed.
There are not many people in this world
who understand what it means to die for
principle. Of course It Is a greater thing
to live and sufttr for principle than It is
to die Jut om-e for principle. If there
ever was a time when Christians neeaea
their backbone strengthened, their faith in
spired, and their courage increased, this Is
the day. There never was a time when men
of moral backbone could do more for their
country than they can at this hour. We
need men in our public offices. In our. pul-
nlts. In the pew and in potwics who rear
neither man nor 'devil. President Lincoln
said of Grant. "The greatest thing about
him Is cool persistency of purpose. He has
the grit of a bulldog. hen he once gets
Ms teeth in nothing can shake him ofT. It
Is said that the snapping turtle will not
release his grip even after his head Is
cut off. If he dies, he proposes to aie naru.
In the Christian Church and In the mor
al world we want men and women who will
stand firmly erect doing tne rignt wnne
others are bowing and rawning ana
doing wrong for praise and power. It
takes courage and pluck to be outvoted, to
beaten, laughed at. sconea at. nuicuiea.
derided, misunderstood and misjudged to
stand alone with all the world against you.
But,
"They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with tow or three."
No, my friends, all the threats and at-tst-t
anonymous or otherwise, that tUe
devil and his forces may make upon you
should never turn you from the iath" .of
duty one moment. It should simply In
crease your determination to see that truth
and ri&ht are triumphant In the world.
CHURCH A GOOD INVESTMENT
Rev. James Corby Draws From
Commercial Topic.
At the Universalist Church of the Good
Tidings on East Eighth, street yesterday
morning, the pastor, Rev. James D. Cor
by, spoke on the "Church as a Gilt
Edged Investment Using as a text Luke,
xii:48. Mr. Corby said in part:
Ours is pre-eminently the commercial age.
Because there is money in It or men
think there is. all sorts of enterprises have
been launched, railroads built, boat lines
established, banks founded, mines opened
and wires strung. Investment 1 a sci
ence. Only ths expert can discriminate in
the midst of all the enterprises as to which
Is safe and reliable.
For the multitude who have no money to
Invest, but have brain and brawn, the query
Is Just as personal and serious as It is for
the capitalist. Where shall my boy or gin
invest the capital of youth, strength and
ambition? is the famllv Question. Most of
us are where we are today because it was
felt that by taking up this line of worn
our gifts and talents could win larger re
turns. Many a fine fellow is down in a
mine far from loved ones because he feels
Ills engineering skill will pay larger re
turns on the investment were man eu
where. Every Immigrant who comes to
these shores brings his strength and skill
to this market because the dividends to
labor ara so much greater here than in
JilB native land. Our Universalist mission
aries In Japan separate themselves from
home and loved ones because they believe
It la better to educate aliens' and Inspire
them than to be mere sellers of pork and
other gross things.
What the government bond 1 to the in
vesting world, the standard said assurance
of reliable income, that and far more tne
Christian church Is to those who would in
vest their influence. The church has been
growing and extending Its Influence for
nineteen centuries and after all these years
It Is safe to say It Is here to stay. The
church Js a co-operative concern: the rich
and the poor meet together and recognize
the good God as the father of all. It is
union of those who love in the service of
those who suffer. The church Is the school
of morals. Jesus took twelve men and
taught them the law of social sympathy
and service. He said men are in dark
ness, you can enlighten them ; they are
oppressed, you can relieve them as they
carry their burdens; they are wandering
from thn paths, you can lead them to tne
plains of peace. It was a new Investment
for these men. '' Peter and Andrew for
sook their trade as fishermen tp become
fishers of men. Matthew gave np a rood
custom-house position to write a gospel.
The early Christians made humanity debtor
to the church In a thousand ways. They
saved the lives of babies, they founded or
phanages, they stood between the slave and
his cruel master, they made Impossible the
horrible gladiatorial games.
PREACHES HIS JIRST SERMON
Rev. J. V. McDougall Begins His
Pastorate at Mount Tabor.
Rv J. "VY McDoueall. the newly ap
pointed pastor of the Mount Tabor Metho
dist Church, arrived Thursday from
Albany, and entered on his work in his
new field yesterday. He occupied the
pulpit morning and evening. At the
morning service. Mr. McDougall was
erected by a large ' congregation. His
sermon was from the text, Luke v!ii:46t
"And Jesus said. Somebody hath touched
me: for I perceive that virtue 'has gone
out of me." Mr. McDoughall spoke first
of the demands and difficulties in the
pathway of every one, which he said must
be met with tirmness and connaence, xor
obstacles "were placed there for the de
velopment and rounding out or the lire.
"Life is filled with touches he said.
"There are three main touches. The busi
ness touch, honesty, and clean business
methods. In the business world a reputa
tion for integrity and honesty count for
everything. The social touch means that
all acts toward fellow beings be above
board and clean, and the church should
lead the social life and not the social
life lead the church. Home touch means
purity. The home is everything, the one
central point of the world that should
be kept pure." ' -
At the conclusion of the sermon many
In the congregation came forward and
m-fieted Mr. McDougall ana weicomea
him to Mount Tabor. The new pastor is
considered one of the leading Methodist
ministers of the state, and much is ex
pected of him. There are 120 memDers in
his new charge, all of whom are more
than favorably impressed with him. .
SPEAKS OX "MEX ASD GREEDS"
J. E. McAf fee Tells Y. M. O. A. That
Beliefs Are Necessary.
Taking as a text Peter's reply to Christ
when the Master asked the disciples:
'Will ye also go away?" and Peter said:
To whom shall we go?" J. B. MeAffee,
of New York City, secretary of the Pres
byterian Board ot Home Missions, spoke
at the men's meeting in the Y. M. C. A.
Auditorium yesterday afternoon on "Men
and Creeds."
Preceding the address, T. H. Butter
worth rendered a baritone solo. The dis
cussion groups, fellowship lunch, and so
cial singing followed the sermon.
Mr. MeAffee said that while there may
be a man here and there who never
thinks seriously of his Maker, man is as
a class a religious animal. All men, he
said, "should choose a creed. He told of
the old proverb which runs, "When at
the parting of the ways and in doubt as
to which path to pursue, follow neither."
This might do, he continued, "as a rule
to follow in inconsequential things, but
for men who must deal with the serious
Issues of life it is utterly worthless."
. Mr. MeAffee said the Lord never made
a thorough-going materialist, that no
man was created with the purpose that
he should reach out no further than the
end of his fingers and explore no fields
beyond the realm of today.
Pastor Lost In Sellwood.
Rev. W. K. Bishop, the nestor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, now
passed away, tells a story on himself
how he was lost and found himself In the
suburb of Sell wood last week. The Port
land Presbytery was meeting In the Sell
wood Phesbyterian Church, which is on
Spokane avenue. Mr. Bishop went there to
attend the night session. He said. "I got
off the car where the conductor told me
to set off to reach The Presbyterian
Church. I walked eastward until 1 came
to a church that was lighted up and there
was singing, I thought this was the place,
so I went up the steps to the door. Some
body was praying. I heard a number of
people sav 'Amen.' 'Glory to God,' and
similar things. Thought, t. Is this the
Portland Presbytery? The responses were
not familiar. I waited for the one who
was praying to get through, but he was
long-winded arid took some time. Final
ly he quit, and before I could get inside
I heard a female voice. Then. 1
knew it was not the Portland Presby
tery, and I slipped away.. finding- the Pres
byterian Oiureh further off. I learned
afterwards that the church I first went to
was the Sellwood Methodist Church."
Services for Deaf and Dumb.
Rev. Clarence True Wilson announced
yesterday morning at Centenary Metho
dist Church that arrangements have been
made so that deaf and dumb people can
enjoy the services every Sunday morning
In Centenary Church, beginning next Sun
day. Seats, will be provided for the deaf
mutes In the gallery, where they will not
be too conspicuous and yet can see the
speakers. Professor Wenta. formerly
superintendent of the asylum for deaf
and dumb, will interpret the sermons and
such other portions of the services as
may be necessary for their full under
standing. Han an shoes keep our reet dry. Rosen

FLAYS THE SKEPTIC
Those Who Destroy . Man's
Faith Are Denounced.
PROVIDE NO SUBSTITUTE
New Pastor of Taylor-Street Church
Deplores Teftdency to Tear Down''
'Rather Than to Build c"p .
Keligious Belief.
Speaking yesterday morning
at
on
the
the
Taylqr-Street Methodist Church
Difficulties of Disbelief," Rev. Benjamin
Young, the new pastor, took occasion to
flay Infidels, agnostics and skeptics with
quotations of scripture and with pertinent
illustrations from the every-day world.
Last night he told his congregation
about "Dreamers," taking for his text
the words of the sons of Jacob when they
saw their brother Joseph approaching,
"Behold this dreamer cometh."
. The morning sermon was in part as
follows:
I suppose that we are all familiar with
experiences of doubt and temptation. There
are times when we are led to question many
things accepted as the verities of life.
There are occasions, too, when men chal
lenge us as to our faith and thus engender
doubts within us. But suppose we heed
our auestioners or surrender to the tempta
tion, what then shall be the consequences?
If we give up all that is embraced In the
Christian faith what shall be the practical
result?
If a man should come to you with a re
quest that you abandon your house, you
would turn upon him and ask why. The
house might not be a very good one, yet
if it had eerved you well you might be
satisfied with it. Are you tninmng 01
being less careful in the matter of faith ?
If you may ask a question when one would
thrust vou out of your home will vou do
less when one would rob you of a anelter
for your soul?
To Destroy Is Easy
Man a wis man has been puzzled by
the Interrogations of a fool. It Is easy
to Dull down and to destroy. It requires
education and art to paint a picture, but
no ability whatever is necessary to destroy
it. You may pluck a flower from Its stem
In the crannied wall, but with all your
cunning you cannot again attach the flower
to Its stem. You may give an ignorant
lad a hammer and turn him loose In some
gallery of art. In an hour he will have
wrought irreparable damage to the priceless
treasures of the centuries. You may take
the costliest violin and In three minutes
destroy all the majesty of its music. It
1 easy to tempt a man but hard to "save
him. It Is easier to ruin a life than to
guide it to the portals of the celestial
city.
There are men who have a penchant for
destruction, an Intense desire to break
something. They are vigorous and earnest
men. but always una tneir joy in a ngnt.
These men are not often close or clear
thinkers because destruction requires neith
er clarity nor clearness of thought. It is
well to mark the trail of utter ruin which
some of these Iconoclasts leave behlna.
These critics are found aBsaillng the deep
er things of life. Religion and the church
come In for their share of condemnation.
The infidel would 'erase the foundat',-ns of
holy temples ana sena tne priests to tne
gallows. He leaves the trail or the ser
pent behind him, and sometimes breeds the
pestilence of anarchy and death. But it is
well when he asks us to give up our faith
to ask him what alternative is orrerea.
What Will Supplant Dlety?
Men ask you to give up the idea of God
and every other luea which you nave ae-
rived from the Scriptures. You will not
put out. on the dark, lonely road at eight,
the dimmest torch unless you are sure of
a better light, and will you then give
up this idea of the loving, thinking, com
passionate, mercuui, personal uoa. witn
out asking, "To whom shall we go?" Do
ybu think that mere nescience solves any
question? Do you believe that table had
a maker hut the sun had none? That your
coat had a tailor, but your eoul required
no maker or that the wax flower on your
stand was made, but the rosea In your
garden Just came by chance?
The lnfldel says he will destroy the idea
of God, so he bends to the pillars and
bows himself, bringing down the temple
unon his own head. It is an easy task
to destroy the Idea of God and to lift up
the idea of godlessness. But does not the
lnfldel Insult reason? If the Idea of God
solves for him no problem, will the altern
atlve Idea help him to understand the
deep things of life? We cannot accept
such folly for wisdom.

LEASE ST. HELENS QUARRIES
Rock to Pare Portland Streets Will
Be Secured.
Ii E. Button & Co., of Portland, have
leased the quarries on the King estate
Just south of St. Helens and Intend to
work them to their full capacity. About
40 men will be steadily employed for at
least one year, getting out basalt blocks
for paving .the streets of Portland., As
these men average over a aay, it win
make a- payroll of about $5000 per month.
The rock industry is growing to large
proportions here, the St. Helens Quarry
Company operating a large plant north
of town and employing about 100 men
getting out crushed rock and Belgian
blocks.
There will be a larger quantity of stone
blocks used in Portland each year, as it
Is proving to be the only street paving
that will stand the heavy traffic on the
business streets, and St. Helena has the
only first-class basalt for that purpose
and the supply is practically unlimited.
Stone blocks laid as they are now being
laid on Front and First streets are equal
to the best paved streets in the world and
Portland is getting the material at lower
prices than any other city in the country.
John Phillips, of St Helens, has taken
the contract from the company and will
have full charge of the quarries.

1ST NOT RETURN ALONE
FARMER SENT AFTER PRISON
ER HE AllOffS TO ESCAPE.
Thought This Method "Will Stop
Runaway Convicts From the
State Penitentiary.
SALEM, Or.,' Oct. 13. (Special.) When
Mike Potatoe, a Multnomah County con
vict, escaped from his prison guard Fri
day night, a new policy was adopted in
holding guards responsible for safe re
turn of prisoners entrusted to their care,
Potatoe is an Italian and was serving
a ten-year term with over nine years of
It yet to serve. He had worked out
side the walls as a trusty and was found
to be a good worker, which fact caused
Prison Farmer White to ask that the
Italian be added to his crew working
at the site of the proposed home for the
feeble minded.
The man was so assigned, with the
warning that the farmer would be held
responsible tor him. In some mysterious
manner he escaped and the prison blood
hounds traced him to the railroad track,
where the prisoner probably boarded
train. The prison farmer was then sent
out to hunt his man and witn Instruc
tions not to come back without him. The
adoDtion of that policy is likely to re
duce the number of escapes, which have
been very numerous in the past tew
years.

TALK
ON CONTAGIOUS
BLOOD POISON
By DR. TAYLOR, The Leading Specialist
On account of Its frightful hldeousness
Syphilis or Contagious Blood Poison is com- "
monly called the king of all venereal dis
eases. It may be either hereditary or con
tracted. Once the system is tainted with It,
the disease may manifest itself in the form
of scrofula, eczema, rheumatic pains, stiff or
swollen joints, eruptions or copper-colored
Bpots on face or body, little ulcers In the
mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen
tonsils, falling; out of the hair or eyebrows,
and finally, a leprous-like decay of the flesh
and bones. If you have any of these or
similar symptoms, you are cordially invited
to consult me immediately. If I find your
fears unfounded I wW quickly unburden
your mind. But If your constitution is In
fected with poisonous virus I will tell you
so frankly and show you how to get rid of
it. My special treatment for Contagious'
Blood Poison Is practically the result of my
life work, and is Indorsed by the best phy
sicians of America? and Europe. It contains
no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines
of any kind. It goes to the very bottom of the disease, and forces out
every particle of Impurity. Soon every sign and symptom of Contagious
Blood Poison disappear completely -and forever. The blood, the tissue,
the flesh, the bones and the whole system are cleansed, purified and
restored to perfect health, and the patient prepared anew for duties
and pleasures of life.
Don't throw this announcement away. Cut It out; put It where you
can find it, and if what I have to saj to you fcday is not of GREAT
Interest, watch for another talk. I will, if you live out of the city, send
you a valuable treatise; and If you can call I will give you In addition
a beautifully engraved chart of the generative organs In three colors.
I Treat and Cure All Diseases of Men. You
Can Pay Me When I Have Cured You.
