LOVE FOR AHIUALS
THEME OF PASTOR
Or. Brougher Declares Belief
That Dumb Brutes
Have Souls.
SHOWS KINSHIP WITH MAN
AfU-r Pointing Out Common Charac
teristics With Human Kind,
Minister Says Animals Must,
Like Man, Have Future Life.
In behalf of the work being done by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher
preached at the White Temple last night
upon the ubject, "Does God Care For
Animals; Do Dogs Go to Heaven?"
The dlscoursg was a stirring: one
against the laws laid down by fashion,
for the pastor declared that - the taste
which decrees' feathers for women's hats
is the same as that which inspires the
Indian to line his wigwam with skulls.
Dr. Brougher said that if man is Im
mortal, the animals must also be. The
aermon, in part, follows:
AU life is a mystery. No man has yet
been able to define that subtle potent thins
vanuely called "the principle of life." This
principle we find In that part of the animal
creation which Is outside of man. In this
respect, at least, there Is a kinship which
Joins man and animal. According to scrip
tures, there seem to be three facts In re-
fard to man. At one extreme we have the
ofly formed of the dust of the earth. At
fth other extreme we have the spirit In
iteathed by the Creator and making- him
n the Image of God. Connecting body and
Jpirlt there Is a principle of life common to
oth man and animal. In my own study
I have came to feel that men and other
jnlmals have two things In common a
forty and a soul. Man would have been a
living soul Just as any other animal Is If
e had not been Inspired with higher splrlt
al powers from his Creator. This special
nsplration differentiates him from other
Inlmals and gives to him a divine spirit
sith the power to make moral decisions In
Hew of moral motives that the ordinary
knlm&l creation does not have.
. Man Alone Is Inspired.
On man's body side. Jie sprang from dust.
On the soul side he has the same principle
5f life as other animals. On hie spirit
tide he Is divinely and specially Inspired
from God. Thus the animal creation has
a soul that 1. common to man also. I era
not speaking 'dog"-inat!cally on this point,
hut there Is nothing In the Bible so far
as I -can see. when rightly understood, to
discountenance the belief cherished by the
great eclentlst. Agassis, who said "Most of
the arguments of philosophy In favor of
the immortality of man apply equally to
the permanency of the immaterial principle
in other living beings." He also declared
his belief In a future life for animals.
Of course I believe transformations 'will
take place In the nature of the animal
When he enters upon that future existence
Just as there will be changes In the nature
of man. The teachings of the Old and the
New Testament both go to show that God
Is mindful of both animal and fowl; that
he has a thought for the oxen and that not
even a sparrow shall-fall without his knowl
edge. Let us notice then, first of all: That
animals realise pain and pleasure. ..
Hlgoer Animals Almost Human.
How human-like are some of the actions
of the higher forms of animals.- It has
been a question of some debate as to which
Is the .more inelllgont animal, but it Is
also a noteworthy fact that nearly every
one of the higher forms of animals can he
more or less trained. They respond to kind
treatment and they also manlfost a reverse
spirit to harsh treatment.
One of the most terrino arraignments of
human nature Is the tnhumnnlty of man.
Man reveals his fallen condition In the fact
that he is willing to Inflict suffering and
pain upon the lower animals and upon his
fellow-men. Some of the cruelties prac
ticed upon animals could hardly be con
trived as possible If we did not have
the evidence right before our eyes. Some
of the cases that have come before the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals In this' and other cities prove the
great necessity for the existence of that
organisation.
Fashion hna decreed that women must
wear kid gloves. The skins used for mak
ing these gloves come from kids that have
been sewed up In covers to keep their skins
In a condition of perfect softness. In France
this cruelty is absolutely revolting. The
kid grows but the tight bandages are not
changed. The little animals, we are told,
flmply writhe In torture In their unyield
ing Jackets.
Cruelty of Fashion.
Birds are slaughtered to furnish feathers
tor ladles' hats. It Is really astonishing
low cruel men and women can be. Just
So gratify the desires of that old hag.' called
Fashion. This Is Identically the same tasto
that leads the Indian to adorn his girdle
with scalps and ornament his wigwam with
tkulla. It takeB millions of birds to satisfy
the demands of society in all the world.
Then there Is the practice of vivisection.
Medical students and scientists have been
guilty of this outrageous cruelty. It may
be that vivisection has contributed a little
knowledge to our physiological and psycho
f logical science, but I do not believe the
knowledge Is worth the suffering unless It
has been conducted by conscientious, hu
mane scientists. One writer says: "l havs
witnessed vivisection so cruel and unneces
sary that I am ashamed to remember that
1 was present."
Sir William Ferguson, a celebrated sur
geon, aeciares: in surgery I am not aware
of any of these experiments on the lower
animals having led to the mitigation of
pain or tne improvement as regards surgi
cal details."
But all these forms of unnecessary frtiettv
must be given up. Men and women are
beginning to realise that It is a sign of
barbarity to practice such things. Every one
recognises the fpet that cruelty to animals
Injures the one inflicting the suffering. It
naraens tne neart ana Dlunts the sensi
bilities and makes It easier for those who
are guilty of such things to be harsh and
fmpl end rarnlctN. of lh llf n , i i
low-men. A man oifght not to hurt a lower
creature than himself simply because It does
hurt that creature, but the reflex action upon
his own soul tends to harden his nature
and lead him In the direction of a cruel,
criminal life. It la a well-knownfact that
men who are accustomed to the slaughter
house become less and less thoughtful about
human life unless they guard carefully their
sensibilities. Parents cannot begin too
early In life to train their children not to
be cruel. Mothers should not allow their
children to destroy a fly merely in sport.
The boy that finds pleasure In pulling the
wings off a fly or a butterfly, or treating a
dumb animal harshly will, unless trained
to be hind and tender, develop Into a Nero
of cruelty.

PREACHES TO DEAF AND DCMB
Dr. AVilson Makes Jnnovation at
Centenary Church.
-Dr. Clarence True Wilson wes greeted
by the largest congregation yesterday
morning at Centenary . Methodist Church
that has asembled there for years, the
occasion being the inauguration of serv
ices for deaf mutes and other features of
Interest. Professor Wenta, who has had
large experience In interpreting for deaf
mutes, was present,' and at the opening
of the services gave the Lord's' Prayer
in the sign language. This was followed
by the sermon by Dr. Wilson, which was
based on Proverbs xxx:24, "There be four
things which are little upon the earth,
but thev are exceedingly wise."
The sermon was both to the children"
and to the adults, and was communicated
to the deaf mutes, who occupied seats In
the gallery, by Professor Wentz. The
lessons of the sermon were drawn from
little creatures, beginning with the ant,
which was pointed out as a model In the
way of an example of industry, thrift
and foresight. The locust was used to
Illustrate the lesson of unity. The lo
custs flock together and move as one,
yet haver no leader. Dr. Wllaon used the
illustration to emphasize the need of
harmony In the church, where all should
work together, and he pointed out the
futility of that one who found nothing
he liked in the church. There are the
Presbyterians, Baptists, Congregatlonal-
lsts and Methodists, he said, all working
together in the same direction and for
the same harmonious purpose, to spread
the gospel. The final illustration was
from the life and habit of the spider,
which spins its web high and above
danger.
There was a quite numerous congrega
tion of mutes gathered in the gallery, and
more probably will come when it becomes
known that services are to be conducted
every Sunday morning in Centenary
Church for their benefit.
At the Sunday school hour Dr. Wilson
organized the pastor's bible class. This
class is to be made an important' feature
of Centenary Church during the coming
conference year. The members of this
class will be organized next Friday night
at the home of Dr. Wilson, 608 East Oak
street, when a name will be selected and
officers elected.
IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDO WRONG
Man Lives But Once and Has No
"Second Opportunity.
Taking for his text the words of
David's song, "Teach, us that we apply
our hearts unto wisdom," found In Ps.
90:12, Dr. Benjamin Young spoke at the
Taylor-Btreet Methodist Church last night
on ' "This Way But Once." He said in
part:
I think that the words, which I have
quoted come home to the most of us. I
am sure that there are times when in some
contemplative mood or reverie they startle
tis. I do not know of anything more tragic
In life than the spectacle of one who has
been Indifferent and listless to life's greater
things, and who carries In hie memory never
a bright wholesome picture from the past,
crying out for a second opportunity or for
another chance to redeem former mistakes.
Life's law is unchanging and irrevocable.
At first ws perhaps thought to trifle with
It. but in stern tones the solemn warning
cam to us. I have seen men wrestle with
which hath hedged them about." I have
heard them cry out against the "dlvlnltv
which hath hedged the mabout." I have
observed, too, the wrlthings of remorse
which have been stamped upon countenances
which long since lost their beauty, because
of the gates which had been ffound locked
and barred behind them. How much would
old Kln Lear have given to have been able
to recall Cordelia from the realms of death?
How much it had meant to Othello to have
had similar ability! The dagger in his own
breast was the logical outcome of the
sword which pierced her heart.
"This way but once!" are solemn words.
Tou cannot go over the Journey to. check up
mistakes. Any havoc you may have wrought
must stand. If we could but go once more
over the Journey there would come some joy
to most of us on this account. At some
critical moment we were not as true as we
should haVe been, and that experience is
marked with dlBmal failure. We would give
a good deal if we could expunge the ugly
thing from the book of personal history.
We uttered a harsh word when we should
have been careful and kindly In expression.
A wounded soul came to tie. and instead of
acting like the good physician and pouring
In oil and wine, we were lumsy and opened
up the sore and sent one away from us in
agony.
Every man is a pioneer. Every man Is
traveling Into a new country. He has never
been this way before. Enemies Infest the
country through which his path lies. The
great and immortal allegory of Eunyan Is
true to life. Vnlcss I am alert and of good
courage, and moved upon by great hopes. I
shall fall an unpltied offering to some ma
lignant demon of the desert.
Reception to New Pastor.
"A reception to Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Young will be given by the members of
the Taylor-Street Methodist Church to
morrow night in the Sunday school room
of the church. The Rev. William Hiram
Foulkes. pastor nf the First Presbyterian
Church, will extend the welcome of the
churches of the city to the new pastor
One of the leading officials of the church
will welcome the pastor to his charge.

CDOS IN THE RAGE
Coast County Thinks Its Ap-
pies Second to None.
VIE WITH HOOD RIVER
Exhibit of Choicest Fruit to Be
Made In This City by the
Marshfleld Chamber of
Commerce. ,
Confident that their apples are not sec
ond, even to the far famed Hood River
product, the people of Cbos County,
through the Marshfleld Chamber of Com
merce, have arranged to ship to Port-
land this week a carload of their choicest
apples which will be displayed in the
show-windows of a down-town depart
ment store.
"Interest in fruit raising; . in Coos
County has been revived and this exhibit
will be an eye-opener to the public" said
Walter Lyon, secretary of the Marshfield
Chamber of Commerce who arrived In
Portland yesterday and will be In charge
of the display. "It is not the purpose of
the Coos Bay people to humiliate Hood
River or any other portion of the state
that has been putting forth commend
able efforts to promote the apple industry,
but it will be shown, that apples grown
in the deep rich soil and balmy, climate of
Coos County cannot be beaten.
A 4. lonlav ninmrttfl ViV the
Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce a few
weeks ago was exhibited the famous Coos
Bay Gravenstein apple, from the different
sections of the county. That exhibit was
reviewed by people from Hood River,
from the Willamette Valley, from the
Wenatchee country of Washington and.
people who had Just visited the California
display of apples at the Irrigation Con
gress in Sacramento. All united In de
claring the Coos County Gravenstein
superior to them all.
"As a result of the renewed 'interest In
applegrowing in Coos County many of the
arriving immigrants are seeking out or
chard land and old orchardists are In
clined to give more attention to their
trees so that Coos County will have to
be reckoned with as entitled to a place
close to the head of the list if not at the
head In the production of apples.
"Though It belongs to the vast area
of territory long neglected by the rail
road builders, the Coos Bay country is
experiencing unprecedented prosperity.
Never in its history has there been so
much building, never as heavy immigra
tion, never as big payrolls, never as much
real development as now. North Bend
with its mills and factories is maintaining
a payroll of $60,000 a month, while the
amount of monthly distribution at Marsh
field Is limited only by the number of men
It is possible to get.
"Though the Coos Bay' country offers
an Inviting field for Investments, especlal
i i- . i 1 1 wnn manufacturing.
coal mining and building, the real need at
the present time is for more laborers.
In the town of Marshfield alone four
large business blocks are being erected
and ground Is being broken for a 75,000
hotel in addition to 100 new residences
which are in course of construction. The
city government, endeavoring to keep
pace with this expanding ' growth, has
Inaugurated a campaign of street building
and improvement and the Council finds
that the work is greatly retarded through
the lack of teams and laborers.
"Activity in, the Coos Bay country is
not confined to the towns, to the mills
and to the mines. Coos is third among
all of the 'counties of the Pacific Coast
in dairying and this important industry
is receiving a new Impetus by the pur
chase of dairy lands and dairy herds by
newcomers from other states. The re
cent appointment by State Dairy Com
missioner Bailey of Mrs. Yoakum, of Coos
River, as State Deputy, has also had
the effect of lniectlng more scientific and
cleanly methods In the dairy business
and has placed it on a higher plane.
"Development seems to have a per
manent hold In the Coos Bay country and
the plaint of the pessimist is no longer
heard. An Irrefutable statement of the
progress of this section is found in the
Government report of the commerce or
Coos Bay which will soon be published.
That report will show in round numbers
that the traffic of Coos Bay increased
from f3.noo,000 in 1903 to $3,000,000 In 1906,
or a gain of $2,000,000 In one year."
C0NVENTI0NT0 RAISE FUND
Presbyterians Start New Plan for
Support of Home Missions.
Under the plan adopted by the Port
land presbytery, under which it sep
arates itself from the aid of the Home
Mission Board, the committee appoint
ed by the presbytery to put Into active
operation the new plan, has called a
convention of all officers of all Pres
byterian churches in the presbytery
for tomorrow nght in the First Church.
This committee is made up of the fol
lowing: Ministers Rev. William Hi
ram Foulkes, president; Rev. Andrew
J. Montgomery, secretary; John M.
Lewis, treasurer: Reva. Henry Mar
cotte, Edward M. Sharp, Charles W.
Hayes, Ben Ezra S. Ely. Elders
Robert Livingstone, William M.' Ladd,
John Bain, O. M. Scott, W.' H. Markell.
Samuel P. Lockwood. The call issued
for this convention says:
"We are going to pay our own bills.
We are going to have home rule In
home missions. Portland Presbytery,
In eesslon October 12, ' 107, unani
mously adopted the plan. We were not
hasty, but came to it after months of
prayer and consultation. We were not
'goaded to It by the Home Mission
Board, but did it because we believed
that we could and ought. We expect
this movement to succeed. We are. con
fident that it will appeal to the busi
ness Instincts of our laymen.- We are
already assured of the approval of the
leading laymen-in the presbytery. We
have already on the committee such
laymen as those whose names appear,
and whose personal Interest, wise
counsel and active participation in the'
work of the committee will. In the
opinion f the ministerial members, go
far to commend the movement to our
business men. We are certain that
the laymen of our churches in general,
particularly those In official position,
when they come to understand the
movement, will lend the hearty co
operation' which is SO essential to suc
cess," '
There will ba, In this convention 142
L elders, 38 deacons and 30 trustees. It
is to be neid under tne auspices of the
Preabyterlan home mission committee,
to whom has been intrusted the task of
bringing about Aelf-support and home
rule throughout the presbytery. It
means that $6000 must be raised to
maintain all churches now receiving
aid from the Home Mission Board, and
also to provide ftor extensions. The
purpose of the convention is tp lay
before the officials who are 'called
there the problem of raising this
money. It will be a convention of the
officials, and the ministers will not
participate, - only na occasion may re
auire. and then onlv. members of the
Presbyterian 'committee wllf take part.
Rev. A. J. Montgomery, secretary of
the home mission committee, said that
the convention will be one of th
means of educating: the church up to
the decision of the presbytery to be
come self-supporting. The presbytery
has decided to assume -all financial re
sponsibility for the work of home mis
sions within Its bounds, together withi
las control and direction.
MAX IS THE FINEST AXIMAIi
Rev. D. Jj. Rader Shows Danger of
Uncontrolled Passions.
Rev. D. L. Rader, 'editor of the Pa
cific. Christian Advocate, spoke at the
Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon on "The
Evolution of Man." He prefaced his
address with a brief statement of the
progress of the Y. M. C. A. work: in
Japan, from which country he returned
a short time ago. He said that the
Japanese are taking more interest In
the at- M. C. A. than they are in any
of the Christian churches. They look
upon the denominations as factions, ha
said, while they regard the Y. M. C. A.
as genuinely Christian. Dr. Rader said,
in part:
I am not so careful about where I came
from as I am about where I am to go. The
past Is gone beyond recall; the future I may
influence yes. I may make it what I will.
There Is nothing In the world but man.
Money, land, houses and all the appliances
of civilization are for the purpose of pro
ducing men. Man Is born an animal the
finest animal In the world. His powers are
wonderful. But man has all the passions
of the animal, and these run riot with his
beings physically, mentally , and morally.
The animal Is the basis of the man. but It Is
not the man.
Tou see .two deer upon the mountainside.
They have lived together, roamed together,
mated together, and together in the dell
they are happy. But the peaceful life Is
bfbken up when a stronger deer, with tower
ing antlers, appears upon the scene and 'be
comes the boss of the herd. This same pic
ture I haver seen painted over and over again
In human life, and in every profession, from
the highest to the lowest. I have seen the
man, who Is not a man, but an animal, come
Into a happy home and pollute It, not with
hoof and horn, but with skill and flattery.
Your brother appeals to you for help. He
Is worthy, but helpless. You have the means
to help him, .but you will let him starve
first. .Look out upon this glorious civilisa
tion. We often let our brothers die of
anguish of spirit before we will go to their
help.
The animal never stops to ask what Is
right, but every man comes to that point
some time In his life when he asks that
question. Many men never answer It. but
If we are to live at all. the Question must
be answered, and the answer given will de
cide whether or not the man js to be a man
or an animal. Many men make up their
minds to do what they want to do. That Is
the spirit of the anarchist. It is the spirit of
the animal. It Is the spirit of ruin. We can
not have a 'civilization worthy the name as
long as that spirit Is in the majority. Many
a man has said with Jacob in his wrestling,
"Give me Thy strength," and has then gone
out and defrauded his brother. I have never
seen a man who did not have some good
In him. and I have yet to see the man who.
if he yielded to his desires, was not a very
bad man.
Men, no desire has been placed in man's
heart but what Is good If under his domin
ion, but when fire and fuel are without con
trol there la no limit to the destruction
which may follow. The only hope of this
world is for a majority of the people to say:
"I will be what God wants me to be."
V'RGES SPREAD OF THE GOSPEJj
New Pastor of Piedmont Preaches
Evangelistic Sermon.
Rev. C. N. Reeves, '. of Devils Lake,
North Dakota, who has been called as
pastor of the Piedmont Presbyterian
Church, entered on his work there yester
day, and preached morning and even
ing. The text was from Matthew
xxvill, 18-28, but mainly. "All power Is
given unto me In heaven and in earth."
It was art evangelistic sermon, and a
lesson was drawn from the three verses
to Illustrate that no man can depend
upon his own strength, but must draw
from the higher power. Rev. Reeves said
It required high moral power to obey the
injunction set forth in the command of
Jesus to his disciples, when he imparted
to them his final command, "Go. ye,
therefore, and teach all nations." The
sermon was a plain, practical exposition
of the command Jesus had laid upon his
disciples.
At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev.
Reeves received a warm welcome to his
new field. He, comes to the Piedmont
Church well recommended. He Is a
graduate of Princeton college and semln
iary, graduating from the literary depart
ment In 1899 and from the theological 'de
partment in 1902. His first pastorate was
at Mount Pleasant. New Jersey. From
there he went to Devils Lake, North Da
kota, where he remained four years,
when he accepted the call to Piedmont
Church. He succeeds Rev. L. M. Boozer
as pastor. The Piedmont Presbyterian
Church is one of the most progressive
and prosperous churches on the East
Side.
A NEW DEPARTURE,
The cost of interments has been greatly
reduced by the Holman Undertaking
Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for all
Incidentals connected with a .funeral. The
Edward Holman Undertaking Company,
the leading funeral directors of Portland
have departed from that custom. When
casket is furnished., by us we make no
extra charges for embalming, hearse to
cemetery, outside box or any services that
may be required of us, except clothing,
cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a
saving of $25 to ITS on each funeral.

CLUES TO THE ESSENTIALS
"CHIRCHIAXITT" IX KELIGIOX
DEPLORED BY REV. DYOTT.
Pretense of Christianity of Little
Value Good People 3Iust
Be of Servl&e.
Rev. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of the
First Congregational Church, took for
his subject last night, "The Christian."
He endeavored to show that there Is
a difference between "Churchianity"
and Christianity, and that "good, peo
ple are good for something." He took
for his text the words of Peter regard
ing Christ,, found In Acts x:38: "He
went about doing good." He said. In
part:
Jesus Christ was a philanthropist in the
best sense of that word. His was the be
nevolence of life, flowing forth in love to
all mankind. His life was love. His deeds
translated, illustrated and commended his
creed. Men have been inclined to magnify
the non-essentials of religious belief at the
expense of the essentials of religious life,
and churchianity has sometimes been con
founded with Christianity. But the man
outside knows the difference and Is not will
ing to substitute churchianity for Chris
tianity. For the man who merely pretends
to be a Christian, whether he is in the
church or outside It. we have little or no"
use.
For the man who is like Christ, and who
follows Christ, all persons, in the church
and outside the church, ought to have the
profoundest regard, whether that man can
pass some of the tests of some of the treeds
or not. Religion Is a life. It Is - an In
tensely practical thing. It Is filled with
that benevolence which actuated Christ to
go about doing good.
Some one has called attention to the fact
that Christ spent much time In the way
side ministries of life, in doing many things
that were not on the programme of uni
versal redemption; but he did them because
he loved to do them, because he could not
help doing them.
We should follow him. If we are- really
religious, we must be practical in our re
ligion If we are at all religious, we are
always religious. If we are good, we are
good for something. A man whose re
ligion ends on Sunday must Indeed have a
very weak and poor thing. We have never
known the real 'Joy of "being In the world
until we begin to live the life of sapreme
and constant benevolence. We find our In
spiration for religious constancy In these
tflfngs by having the life of Christ within
us. This is the right kind of life.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots
fight.
His can't be wrong whose life is right.
Mice Have No Terrors
for Her.
Japanese Maiden Calmly Slays Tiny
Rodent. "White Ladles Very
Queer, Her Laconic Comment.
THERE was a scream as if murder
were being tdone In the Portland
hotel yesterday afternoon, and the
woman in the Japanese curio shop
rushed out of the room as if the burg
lars of a few nights before had Just
called to take what they overlooked at
that time.
"Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh ! gasped the fair
American attendant In charge of the
shop, and shuddered.
"What-a-mattah?" asked the little
Japanese assistant.
"M-m-m-m-mouse! In the waste pa
per basket Oh "
Miss Nippon calmly picked up the
basket, killed the mouse and attended
to the sad rites in connection with the
disposal of the remains without a sign
of fear or horror.
"Don't Japanese girls fear mice?" she
was asked. ' ,
"No; no;' fraid? Why?" she replied
Indifferently.
"But American women are."
"White ladles very queer," comment
ed little Miss Butterfly, whereupon
several men sagely agreed and the In
cident was closed.
