Dr. Harold Pattison Reviews
Bible Story of the Prodi
gal Son.
TELLS OF HIS WEAKNESSES
Minister From Hartford, Conn.,
Who Supplies White Temple Pul
pit, Preaches First of Series
of Sermons on Above Topic.
Rev. Harold Tattlson. pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Hartford. Conn.,
was the speaker at the White Temple
yesterday. He will also speak next Sun
day and tne week following. Mr. Patti
on is making a tour of the coast, having
come to Portlnnd from Vancouver. B. C
and Seattle. He will go from here to San
Francisco and Los Angeles, speaking the
last Sunday In August from the pulpit
of the Auditorium Temple, of which Bob
Burdette is the pastor.
Mr. Pattison Is profuse in his praise of
the West. He says it is "the young
man's country." Having Just come
from Vancouver. B. C, he was in a posi
tion to compare Portland with the coast
cities' to the north. He said the only
thing he found in Vancouver that was
reasonable was the steamship fare to
Prattle, the result of the rate war. He
said he found some idle men and prices
much higher than those of the Bast. He
had found conditions i.i Portland better
than in any other Pacific Coast city, he
aid. .
Today Mr. Pattison is to take a trip
to The Dalles with Professor William
Phelps, of Yale. The latter came in yes
terday from Berkeley, where he has been
lecturing before the students of the Vnl
versliy of California. From here, P"of.
Phelps will go to Tacoma and Seattle.
The subject of the sermon at the White
Temple yesterday morning was "The
Three Tests." Mr. Pattison spoke last
night on 'The Far Country." This was
the first of three sermons on the parable
of the Prodigal Son. Mr. Pattison said
In part:
I Like Pilgrim's Progress.
The story of the prodigal's progress re
minds us of that story, dear to our child
hood. "Pilgrims Progress." But there Is
this Important difference. While the "Pil
grim's Progress" describes a journey from
the city of destruction, the prodigal's prog
ress describes a lourney to that city. In
the opening verses of this parable we see
the prodltal's great desire to get hold of
his father's possessions. "Give me tbe por
tion of goods that falleth to me."
We are prepared to like this young fellow.
He may have been a trifle gay. buthe was
good-hearted. That is our first impression.
But look at him a little closer, and ou
will see that his spirit is one that chafes
at all restraint. He must have what he
wants and he must have it now. What is
this spirit that makes men restless: urges
them to take the powers which God has
given them snd use them according to their
own will? What Is this longing to get away
from a man's mother's apron strings, and.
bursting all bonds. do whatever he
pleases? It is the spirit of nin. The nest
definition of sin I have ever seen Is this:
Sin is the placing of self-will or self
consciousness above the claims of love and
duty."
Whence came this spirit? Two places In
the Scripture tell us. The book of Genesis
says it came from the strpeni's whisper,
and Thrlst savs It rams from the "Far
Country " Both of these will be found te
be tbe same.
Heart Longs to Wander.
The son not only desired to get his
father's possessions, but he wished to get
away from his presence. Ah. but we must
remember that he was in a far country
long before he ever crossed the threshold
of his father's house. His heart had gone
wandering long before his heels. It is not
spare that makes distance. A husband and
wife may sit next to one another, and yet
he far apart. This young man was sick
of home, which is much different from being
homesick. The spirit of sin sent the prodi
gal away from home, and a more powerful
spirit, tbe spirit of love, will bring him
back.
Let us hasten to catch up with the young
man. We find that he bas wasted his sub
stance. There is a pleasure In sinning, but
It all comes at the beginning Some of us
preachers have made a mistake In talking
about the results of sin. as though they
were all misery. There is a pleasure In sn.
or else the threshhoMs of the ?aloon. gambling-bouse,
and brothel would not be so
well-worn.
As the prodigal sat among his gay com
panions, he must have felt at first as if his
dreams had come true. He had seen life.
Tea. this .was living but It was "riotous
living." and he had not counted the cost.
Earth hath her price for what earth
gjves us.
A beggar is taxed for a comer to die in.
The priest hath his If he comes end shrives
us.
We bargain for the graves we lie In.
At the Devil's mart are all things sold.
For a can and hells our lives we nay.
Baubles we earn with our whole soul's
tasking.
It Is only God that Is given away;
It is only Heaven may be had for the
asking."
Sin a Sad Waste.
The worst about sin Is not only that it
is experslve. but that It is a wsste. Truly
does Renjsmln Franklin say. "What would
maintain one vice would support two chil
dren." How many a man has known the
waste of sin. a missed opportunity, a broken
home, a broken-hearted wiie or mother.
Every man who sins, sooner or later real
ises that there is nothing In it. And now
Bote the Inevitable coincidence. "There aro.e
a mighty famine." In his dreams about the
Far Country he did not reckon with the
famine. The Devil forgot to mention it.
For the first time in his life he beaa to
be in want, and was driven to a degrading
employment. So he went and fastened him
self like a leech upon a citizen of that
country.
Let no one think that the ocupation of
herding swine is In itself degrading, but it
was degrading for this young Jew. because
H was beneath what it was his privilege to
do. Any man who Is doing less thnn God
meant him to do Is thereby degraded.
Where were the prodigal's friends? He
never had any In that land. Thos-.? com
rades of his were nevor friends. 1 hey were
busy with other prodigals as green as him
self, who were willing to pay the price.
Does some one. smarting under bitter ex
periences, say. "This Is a hard old worl.t?"
Hard only to the man who takes the far
country road. Hard only to the man who
wishes to use God's gifts to hlra as though
they were his cwn. Hard only to the man
wbo would live his life and spend his sub
stance out of sight of God
CON'CERT BY LARGE CHORUS
Fine Musical Programme at Taylor
Street Metltodlst Church.
A sacred concert was rendered at the
Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal Church
last night by the 40 voices constituting
the choir. Instead of choosing a sacred
cantata, however. E. 8. Miller, the direc
tor, decided upon a varied programme.
This Included the "Hallelujah Chorus"
from Handel's "Messiah," "The Chapel"
(Kreutrer). rendered by a male chorus
of 30. and a selection by the Rose City
Male Quartet. The chorus of K) also sang
"The Shepherd'a Sunday Song." Kreut
er. which was well received. Professor
J. Hutchison rendered as an organ pre
lude "Adagio." by Bizet. He also ren
dered the follow'lng: "Poeme" (Sgam
bati), "Prelude" (Bathmaulnaff), "Bar
ROM
PARABLE
carolle" (Faulkes) and "Allegro Vivace'
(Widor).
At the morning service yesterday Dr.
D. L- Rader preached on the "Coming of
Christ." taking for his text Acts 1: S, 7.
"When they therefore were come to
gether, they asked of him. saying, 'Lord,
wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel 7 And he said unto
them, 'It is not for you to know the
times or the seasons which the Father
hath put In his own power." "
Dr. Rader said that some people think
the advent of Christ would bring about
a perfect government, but that while" he
was willing to admit the desirability of
such government, he believed there must
be perfect citizenship first. Bellamy's
theory in this respect Is right, said he. If
a perfect people exists.

GIVING
NOT ENOUGH
Personal Work Needed in
Churches, Says. Dyott.
TALKS OF . EARTHLY HELL
Congregational Pastor Deplores Kid
Glove and Parlor-Car Religion,
and Asks for Active Efforts
In Relieving Misery.
"Are Soiils In Hell Altogether Bad?"
was the subject of the sermon preached
by Dr. Luther R. Dyott last night at the
First Congregational Church. He took
for his text Luke xvi:27:28: "And he
said. I pray thee therefore, father, that
thou wouldest send him to my father's
house; for I have five brethren, that he
may testify unto them, lest they also
come Into this place of torment."
The text Is a record of the request made
by the rich man to Lazarus, when the
former awoke and found himself in hades.
Dr. Dyott said in part:
Our text Is taken from a parable spoken
by Jesus Christ. It Is the familiar parable
- f , f:
"'..v.
Colonel George O. Toran, Fourth Iu-
fantry. Eugene.
of "a -certain rich man" and a "certain
beggar Dives and Lazarus. Christ vividly
portrays the conditions, and contrasts the
Jove of these men before ana aciec- ueain.
In this world. Laxarus was a aood man suf
fering. In the other, he was happy. In this
world, the rich man had as much pleasure
as -his riches could purchase; but, it seems
that he was very seinsh. In the otner
world, he passed into poignant suffering.
Nevertheless, he had enough . goodness in
him to think of -those who were dear to
him on earth, and he prayed to Abraham,
upon whose bosom Lazarus was resting, and
besought him to send Lazarus to warn
those who were brothers of the rich man
"lest they also come into this place of tor
ment." Abraham did not comply with the
request, but he did remind the rich man
that ample oi-ovleion had been made for
the warning which his brothers needed.
Now, we ail know that a parable is only
a brief narrative, or descriptive allegory. It
is a comparison. We are not to press the
figures too far. Neither should we attempt
to prove anything more by It than that
which the one had in mind who spoke It.
But", at t"he same time, we should remember
that Jesus certainly did mean something.
Some theologians have made a most con
ventional interpretation which is quite fa
miliar to all students of the Bible. Let us

make a different interpretation of this text,
not for the sake of being different, but for
the purpose of finding the deeper truth in
these verses of Scripture.
Our modern scholarship brings to light
the fact that the word hell Is derived from
the Saxon 'helam." which means to cover.
It signifies, principally, an invisible place.
In the original Hebrew and Greek of cur
Bible, there are three words: Sheol. Hades
and Gehenna, from which the translators
took the word helL and other words. In
the Old Testament the world Sheol is used
65 times. In the authorized version It is
translated "grave" 81 times, and 31 times
It is translated "hell." and three times it is
translated "pit." In the New Testament It
is used 23 times. In the original. 12 times
we find the word "Gehenna" and the word
hades is used 11 times. It mesne the place
of disembodied spirits. In this last sense
Jesus used It in our text. But we do no
violenoe to our text when we siy: Hades,
or Hell. Is not merely a place, in some
other world. It Is a state, or condition of
life found both here on earth, and because
of the continuity of life. In that other world,
also.
Thousands of souls are in neu on eartn.
It has been made for them by themselves
and their fellow mortals. Sin. conscience,
remorse and environment make a hell here
and now. Some persons are good. Innocent
and virtuous. Others are bad and vicious.
But no man who knows life as It really
Is, even, among the sinful, can quite believe
in total depravity. There Is some good In
the worst of mortsls. There is some evil in
the best of human beings on earth.
"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still:
In men whom men pronounce divine.
I find so much of sin and blot.
I hesitate to draw a line
Between the two where God has not."
It Is of this hell on earth that I speak.
Men, women and children who are in hell
here and now. Some of them here in Port
land. What are cur churches doing for
them? Some of them have been "more
sinned against than sinning." All have
some good In them. From their torment
they are longing, no doubt, for something
better than their wretched lives. Instead of
finding them that we may expose and pun
ish them. Instead of saying what they
should suffer by law, let us fend them and
improve their surroundings; let us find
them and do what we can that they may
be saved. ,
Our churches have no right to lebve the
so-called rescue work to missions and the
Salvation Army. Our religion should never
be of the kid-gloved and parlor-car variety.
Our so-called fashionable congregations
should do more work among the people who
need them here and now. To give money
for missions at home and abroad is not
enough.
It Is personal work, and the personal
touch which must count more and moro In
reaching and saving and Improving the en
vironment of souls who are in hell on earth,
but hav enough goodness left beneath all
sin to turn their hell Into a heaven when
they have the chance they deserve.
Lazarus, it seems, could not go, but we
can. We sh-mld do It and do it now. Let
our religion find its greater motive poweV

FINDS FAULT WITH CREEDSl
REV. BAKER GIVES REASON'S
FOR DISTRUST.
He Says Age Is Given to Reconstruc
tion Because Men Have Out
lived Creedal Systems.
Speaking at the Unitarian Church yes
terday morning on the "Reconstruction
of Belief," Rev. Neiiemiah A. Baker, as
sistant pastor, said that there must be
something wrong with the creed when
men are largely to be found outside the
churches. Men, he said, are not macie
better or worse by the creeds. "Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good.'
was the text, found In I Thess. v:21. He
said in part: ' '
The passion for reconstruction has selsea
our age. Men have gone mad In their revo
lutionary ardor. In the extremity of our
hope in this struggle for something endun
Ing. we had supposed that at least one insti
tution of society would be found to have re
mained Intact. As the sustalner of our faith
and the guardian of our belief, we had
hoped that above all, the church might
stand as a rock against which this tempest
might break in vain.
The fact of the reconstructive process is
self-evident. We have not to go back Into any
dimly historic past In order to find the great
reaction which has characterized this age:
it began in the church less than -400 -years
ago. The church then had become secular
ised, paganized, and had opposed Uself to
the rational and Justifiable Interests of the
world and It was but natural that men of
true spirit should protest vehemently against
such a restricted policy.
Mistakes have been made In creeds. They
were not made above the possibility of
change. The great misfortune Is that the
change has not kept pace with human needs.
Still a far greater mistake Is made when
any man blessed with the clear vision and
favored by every external circumstance Is
yet willing to mislead others, if not himself,
bv a false method of apolog-, In which he
makes his new ideas fit a background for
whlr-h they were never meant.
When it becomes as evident as it has
become today that men are not pinning
themselves to the old creeds, It means either
one of two things something must be the
matter with the men, or else there Is some
thing the matter with the creeds. We can
not believe that men are better or worse by
profession. It seems that deed is a better
test than creed. The difficulty must be In
the creed.
When it happens, ss It ts happening, that
a life belief, previously dormant, ceases to
be accepted, then It becomes inevitable that
men should do what they can to re-express
themselves, either in a new revelation of
truth or new -words for the old.
The great souls of men are crying out for
a religious belief that will speak to them In
meaningful terms of life.
Why, then, are we- shy of expressing our
belief? If It means anything to us it ought
to mean something to someone else. If you
have struggled under the old creedal au
thority and have found another way, even
though It be called heresy, bless the name
that thus marks you free rather than sur
render one honest conviction.
We can't walk one way and look another
if we are to step with confidence. As men.
we are building and rebuilding with old
world materials, and In tbe light of our
freedom new structures are being evolved

We are the constructive agents of our time:
we determine the spirit of the age. Little
by little mutual understanding is fusing us
together In closer bonds of brotherhood.
There Is no need for formal creed where
each man's faithfulness to his own beBt
guiding principle Is active. The days of
great creedal systems are without doubt
past, because no Intelligent man now aims
to produce a final system of belief. But In
standing in good faith for our own convic
tion we are to gain a higher courage and
crown our little day with Its portion of
progress.

U MY FEE in
Any Uncompli
cated Disorders
No other physician employs a like method
and so thorough is my work that there need
not be the slightest fear of a relapse into the
old condition. It is not a question of whether
you can be cured, but whether you will be
cured. Don't wait until it Is too late. My
method is perfect and quick. The cure Is ab
solutely certain. I use NO KNIFE, cause no
pain and you need not be detained from your
work for one day. I especially solicit those
cases where money has been wasted on elec
tric belts and other appliances.
The Scientific Treatment of Weakness
Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and tonics In an effort
to restore functional vigor can have but one final result: The condition
is rendered worse than before. "Weakness'' is merely an Indication of a
low form of Inflammation in the prostate gland, and this Inflammation
is but aggravated bv stimulating remedies that excite temporary activity.
I employ the only scientific and fully effective treatment for "weakness."
which effects a permanent cure by restoring ihe prostate gland to a
sound and healthy. state. I obtain complete results in every case I treat.
Those in any trouble, surrering irom

When Korea Led the World.
Kobe, (Japan) Journal.
Few are aware that Corea preceded ,
Europe in Inventing three things that
have had a vast Influence upon the
world. Printing with movable types
originated In Corea In 1324, 138 years
before the invention of the art In Eu
rope. The two other inventions in
which the Coreans seem to have antici
pated Europe were the mortar and the
ironclad, both used with considerable
effect during the Japanese-Corenn war
of 1SK2-9R.
