RESPONSIBILITY OF
OFFICE HIS THEME
Dr. Corby Arraigns Delin
quents in Business Life
and Politics.
PREACHES TIMELY. SERMON
tllp-Shod Intellectual Methods of
Present Day CauBe of Much Re
cently Exposed Evil Rem
Y --y Lies With Voters.
A timely sermon on "The Responsibility
of Office," both In industrial affairs and
public corporations, was preached yester.
day morning at the Untversalist f hurch
of the Good Tidings on East Eighth and
Couch streets. For a text Dr. J. D. Corby
used the words, "He that is faithful in a
very little is faithful also in much." The
sermon was a sweeping condemnation of
the practice of many men in allowing
their names to be used as directors of
linancial institutions though knowing
nothing of these enterprises. Their
name, he declared, stands for a lie. He
also pointed out that public office Is not
only one of honor, but should command
faithful service. Taking up the subject
Dr. Corby said in part:
Trouble has corns from applying the
words "little" and great" to the virtues.
A person receives you, he proves willfully
false In a few cents; you argue from that
as to what he would have done with the
greater opportunity. Tou object to being
cheated, not for the few cents, but because
It violates a great principle, honesty.
The defaulter who wrecks a bank differs
from the one who takes a postage stamp
in that be bad more opportunity. Catch a
youth In a petty theft and he will try to
laugh It off on the ground that tt Is so
small It ought to be. Ignored. Most of the
shoplifters offer the plea that, they, took
en little, when there was so much to take.
Had they backed a-truck up to the door
and loaded that, they might have pleaded
guilty to petty larceny.
What does that word faithful suggest?
Vsually some great and responsible position,
some high post and vast work entrusted to
jou. Right there the error lles we are
looking for eminent occasions and promi
nent places to display our faithfulness. A
writer In the Outlook speaks of the ease
with whlcb we become members of this.
that and the other society, and tne num
ber of different firganliations we belong to.
Kven tne children belong to clubs, while
every adult is ablase with buttons. pns and
emblems of various orders. He asks the
pertinent question how many assume any
obligation and feel the responsibility of
their memherahlp and are faithful to it?
Made Evils Possible.
This Is one form of the widespread intel
lectual slipshod methods that made possi
ble the evils that have been uncovered
from the time Mr. Hughes Inserted his
probe In the Insurance companies up to our
recent panic, when the shaklness ot every
bank was shown to be due to the failure
of officials to faithfully perform their du
ties. Prominent business men assure us
that few directors of banks and other cor
porations are really faithful to the duties
of their office. They attend regular meet
ings, listen to the reading of a lot of
llgures. look wise, but actually know noth
ing of the Inside working of the institu
tion. They delegate to a cashier or some
other hired man the responsibility they
should assume, allow their names to be
used as directors and pocket the dividends.
A capitalist testifying recently said: "The
system of ' directorship In great corpora
tions Is such that a director has rractlcally
no power. .He simply goes through the
motions." In evsry case where a director
Is not really a director' he ought to live up
to the ethical level of the situation, get out
of the board and "not act a lie.
One prominent Individual whose name
has been smudged In recent Investigations
is said to be a director in some 50 corpor
ate Institutions. Now. of course he Is not
In any practical aense ot the term a direc
tor. His name standing In this connection
Is a He. It la put in the list as an adver
tisement to Induce Investors to put their
money In the enterprise.
At a meeting of the directors of the
American Steel Foundries one of the board
said:
"We have no right to neglect our duties
as directors, and I for one Intend to give
more attetntlon to the affairs of the com
pany in the future than I have In the past."
This quickening of the conscience Is sadly
needed In all branches of commercial, social
and political life. Recent squabbles among
city officials revealed how the public were
bled by two trusts formed to raise prices.
It finally was quieted by one saying, "You
let us atone and we won't ..meddle with your
graft." Simple faithfulness on the part of
public officials would break up these com
bines and secure a fair Held and no spe
cial tavora.
To read the recent expose of the way the
banking law was passed and a group se
cured place and profits for themselves and
friends Is shocking as you think of the
large number of men who had to prove
unfaithful to permit such a scheme to be
pushed through.
Revealed. In Land Frauds.
The same principle is revealed In the
land-fraud trials. Instead of prosecuting
and punishing wrongdoers, officials ex
changed Immunity for political influence.
Many of these wrongdoers have some nomi
nal connection with churches. They know
the dogmas of their creed, they glibly
speak of atonement and regeneration. Some
of them declare "Jesus died for me." The
need of the hour demands that the pulpit
shall lay aside many of these empty
phrases and make plain to rich and poor
that religion I simple faithfulness; that
the worst heresy Is that of doing less than
your best for God and man. Whether one
Is orthodox or heterodox, we need to real
ise that this dodging and evasion of re
sponsibility Is a disease and as contagious
as smallpox. The thing to do Is not to
cover It up nor hide it away, but turn the
light on It and cure It.
There is no occasion for pessimism. The
press 'has done some fine .preaching and
thinking people appreciate It. whether they
have told the editor so or not. Privilege
Is the mother of obligation. Office Is not
only a place of honor; It Is far more a re
sponsibility and unselfish devotion to a
cause.
With all the talk of candidates, let us
keep In mind that It Is belter to have a
vacancy than to have the office occupied
by one who simply draws the salary and
has to be prodded to do the tasks for which
he was elected. As the time for primaries
dris n-ir It Is our religious duty to scan
.are.'ollr : records of those who crave of-"
fK-e ai'fi see to It that only those are given
place yvno have been faithful In a few
tlr.irs. let the officials whom we have
'.e h oi ;ied to bring delegations and push
ciuts before to Induce them. to do their
plain duty, t&k. a pood iong rest, and It
will tie Interpreted in Jesus' words of con
demnation, "Inasmuch as ye did It not."
DIVTXE POWER OP HEALIXG
Pastor Declares It Has Place In
Modern Christianity.
Rev. Oilman Parker yesterday morning
gpoke in Grace Baptist Church, Monta
villa, on "Moral and Physical Healing."
taking for his text Luke ix:23. "This kind
can come forth by nothing but fasting
and prayer." Rev. Mr. Parker said in
part:
The tendency of the age. In religious mat
ters. Is to eliminate the divine and the super
natural from Christianity. To reduce that
which Is above the natural to the minimum,
aad to elevate that which Is natural to the
maximum. Extreme Christian scientists and
divine healers would eliminate or minimize
medical science, which Is a natural science,
and extreme natural scientists, reinforced by
the almost unanimous thought of evangelical
Christianity, would, eliminate or reduce to
the minimum, the divine and the supernatural.
I believe that there is a golden mean be
tween these extremists which will eventually
dominate the Christian world of thought and
Its ethics. Dr. Worcester, of Boston, has for
two years been Inviting the sick to a sort
of spiritual clinic He. recognizing the in

science with It. has. we relieve, proved the
plan of elevating both the divine and the
human, the upernatural and the natural, to
their relative maximum place In their atti
tude to humanity, has. we say. found the
true golden mean.. of blessing the world and
lifting (t up from Its low altitude of moral,
spiritual and physical conditions.
- I stand for the elevation of the natural
to its highest plane of power, to the place
which God purposed it. to do its good work
for humanity; but I would also elevate the
divine and the supernatural to Its place in
God's purpose, and so having both, raised to
the divinely appointed; plane, we shall be able
to do the highest and best good to humanity,
and at the same time give God all glory. I
believe this to be the golden mean occupied
by Jesus Christ In his ministrations while In
the flesh, and also that hla church Is ap
pointed to occupy the same relation to morally
and physically diseased humanity. In the con
text Jesus healed a man's son, it was a super
natural work, a divine healing, but not with
out the cooperation of the natural man, the
boy's father. So Jesus mingled the super
natural and the natural to the saving of men's
souls and the healing ot their bodies.
POWEK OP THE HUMAN SOUL
Man Should Realize His Greatness,
Says Pastor.
"The Dignity and Power of the Human
Soul" was the subject of a sermon de
livered by Rev. P. J. Green at Ringler's
Hall last night. He took for hla text the
following: "Beloved now are we the sons
of God," and "They marvelled and glor
ified God, which had given such power
unto men." Rev. Mr. Green said in part:
One of the greatest errors of the past is the
teaching that clothes a human soul with
utter weakness and the idea of total de
pravity. According to the law of faith, a
soul cannot believe In weakness and escape
being weak. It cannot believe In power and
goodness and escape these qualities. The hu
man soul had lie origin in the Father, and is
of the same substance as the Father-spirit.
It is, therefore, a son of God and if a son,
then an embryotle God, and this was declared
by Jesus, of the Jews, when he was up
braided by them for calling himself the son
of God.
Being, sons of God. we have la us all the
powers, latent or otherwise, that Jesus had.
These powers will never be manifest In mod-.
ern souls until the napkin of belief In utter
weakness Is torn away and the soul is
clothed with the confidence that it la a part
of God. and is. therefore, power, wisdom and
intelligence. When mah begins to look inside
of himself for power, - (for God) instead of
outside, then will be begin to realise his
supremacy over sin and disease, and manifest
the redemption of the sons of God.
It is a psychological sin to be constantly
taught that man Is a weak worm of the dust
and then expect htm to exprras angelic qual
ities. If we would please God and command
the respect of men, we must manifest strength.
Justice, love and reason, for weakness, in
justice and hatred do not become the sons of
God.

ception of Marshfteld. The wires to that
place were down. When the storm broke
and the severity was noted, the warnings
were ordered displayed on all Sound
ports. A heavy blow was predicted for
all parts of the Sound during the early
hours of this morning.
The steamships Costa Rica and Johan
Poulsen sailed from Astoria at 8 A. M.,
and would be just far enough out to
catch the full force of the blow. Both
vessels are' bound for San Francisco.
The Costa Rica has on board about 35
passengers.
The season to date has been one of the
stormiest on record, but the list of cas
ualties so far Is very light. To the
weather bureau this is largely due, as
storm warnings have been sent out in
advance of every storm. Ship-owners
and masters have been advised of the
approach of heavy weather and the sav
ing to life and property has been great.

UNITY SHOULD BE OBJECT
CHURCH DIVISION XOT DESIR
ABLE, SAYS PASTOR.
Rev. E. S. Muckley Declares All De
nominations Will Ultimately Work
Together for Common Cause.
"Is a union of all Christian denomina
tions desirable?" -was the question dis
cussed at the First Christian Church last
nigrht, when Rev. E. S. Muckley intro
duced the subject, and all in the congre
gation were given an opportunity to ex
press themselves on the subject. Nearly
all who spoke agreed with the pastor
that such a union was desirable, and that
it could and would be brought about in
time.
As a basis for his remarks, Mr. Muckley
quoted the works of Christ, 4That they all
may be one; as thou. Father, art in me,
and I in thee, that they also may be one in
us; that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me.' Reference was also made
to a number of other expressions of Christ
in which he seeks for the unity of his fol
lowers. The point was then made that a spirit
ual union of believers in Christ is proper,
but that the world can" understand and
comprehend only the organic, tangible
union, and that this must be brought
about. Mr. Muckley said:
I apprehend that a union of the different
branches of the Protestant church will first
be effected. The Cumberland Presbyterians'
and the Northern Prenbyterians have al
ready united. It remains for the Method
ists to unite and for the different branches
of the Baptist Church to enter upon unity
of action, as well as the various branches
of the Congresatlonallsts. This union of
the Christian denominations cannot be
brought about under human head. It
mutt be brought about under Jesus Christ.
A number of things make such a union
desirable. Division has ever ben a cause
of ill-will and bitterness. Read church
history as far back as you like, and you
will see the unscrupulous methods resort
ed to in order that some sect might bring;
its particular ecclesiastical notion of things
Into prominence. Christ, exalted through
his humble death upon Calvary, became the
bone of contention among his followers.
Unbelievers have said that if Jesus Christ
were the son of God there would be no di
vision among his followers. It la very
poor reasoning, but It answers for the
man who wishes to find an excuse for un
belief. A man may or may not believe many
things, and yet be saved. I don't want you
to exercise any authority as to what I shall
believe, nor do I wish to bring authority
to bear upon you to compel you to believe
as I do. There are many members of the
Baptist Church whose ideas are more
nearly in accord with my own than are
some of the members of my own church.
We are all Christians.
Just the minute you begin to formulate
a creed or to put your faith into words,
just then do you begin to narrow it. Kvery
man's faith should be bigger than It can
be framed in words. Christ saw the dan
ger, and all he asked was that we might
believe on him, the savior of the world.
Many church spires are a monument, not
to the glory of God, but to the folly of
man. I know of a little town having a
general store, a postofflce and six cot
tages, in which there are four church
buildings. Services are held In each on
