i. .h. Sunnvulda Methodist Episco
n.i r-hnrrh vesterday morning a novel
service waa conducted along the lines
followed In religious meetings many
decades ago. There were no usnrr
at the door, and the women occupied
one side of the auditorium and the
men. who were only slightly in the
ni...!t tho nthir. There was no
choir. The organ was closed up and
was not used at any time. All chairs
had been taken from the choir plat
form, and no leader conducted the
singing. m
At 11 o'clock Rev. Dr. T. B. Ford, the
pastor, took his seat at the altar. Spon
taneously the congregation began sing
ing an old hymn, -A Charge to Keep
I Have." Others followed, most of
them being so old that they were
somewhat unfamiliar to the congrega
tion. After the collection tne sermon
followed on "The Character of Peter."
The text was "What shall this man
rto1" Dr. Ford gave a searching anayl.
sis of the character of Peter, of his
peculiarities and weaknesses, ana
compared him with Paul. Taking up
the practical viewpoint Dr. Ford said:
Tk... - manv homH destroyed and
made miserable by people who compare their
own conditions wltu mat or omer
Their neighbors may have a belter house
and It may be better furnished, and then
cornea In tne spirit or envy anu jtu..,

The man ho could live well and happily on
the wane be receives comparea himself h
another man In better circumstances and
becomes unhappy. Some people won t come
to church because others may be dressed
better than they are. Some women are
made very unhappy because other women
can appear In church with a new Easter bat
when they cannot.
There are some people who would hava
absolutely nothing; to do If they could not
find out about other people. Their occupa
tion would be gone. We all have great cu
riosity about other people. We are all cu
rious about the allotment of other men.
When In trouble, we feel better if we know
that others are In the same trouble also.
But God never made men alike. He deala
with, each man Individually, ana koa aoea
cot handl men as a crowd.
rv.rv rhllri In our nubile schools is a
problem for the teacher separate from the
other pupils. There Is no "cure-all. ' The
drug that may cure or help one may kill
anolner. Out OI ail inia mere im wie ijiuc
word. "Obedience." It waa the word which
mart .It the rfpst men and women. It
made Newton. Edison. Abraham. Moses. It
made the heroes of the world. "Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do?" la, the golden
text.
In closing the services Dr. Ford an
nounced that next Sunday a general
rally of the church would be held, and
said that the Intention is to establish
a kindergarten department. He said:
Bring your bablea to this meeting, and If
you have none, bring some other person's
chlia. we want to eian a KinaerRrr-u
here under the charge of aome Godly
woman. Do yoa know that It is a dan-
?erous thing to send your little daughter
or the first time to our public schools,
which are so full of vice. The Catholics
call our public schoota godlesa. They are
building a school here in our midst and an
other one on the Powell Valley road so they
can educate their children. I tell you there
Is evil in our public schools, and we must
guard our innocent chliqren.
DR. DVOTT SAYS PEXOMIXA-
TIO'S SHOCLD VXITE.
Team Work Needed at Home, He
Says, as Well as in Foreign
Mission Field.
"The Crisis Leading to Christ." was
the subject of Dr. Luther D. Dyotts
sermon yesterday morning at the First
Congregational Church. It was the first
of a series on Paul's life as a pattern
for the twentieth century man. His
text was Act lx., 6.6: "Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me? and he said. 'Who
art thou Lordr ana he said, I am Je
sus, whom thou persecutest; but rise
and enter Into the city, and It shall be
told thee what thou must do.' "
Before announcing his text Dr. Dyott
called attention to the published state
ment in an Issue of The Oregonlan dur
ing the past week In which a prominent
bishop of the Methodist church had de
clared that the Methodists were not op
posed to Mr. Taft's religious views, and
In riew of what he (Dr. Dyott) had
said in his sermon last Sunday with
reference to the matter he publicly
ipologized to the Methodists, but at
' the lime time reaffirmed his positio
of last Sunday, that no one In any
church, or any political party, or under
i the auspices of any organization, po
' lltical. educational or religious, should
ever raise the question of a man's re
. llgious views in connection with his
j candidacy for the office of President of
' the United States. He emphasized his
declaration of last Sunday, saying that
; It was a question of a man's character,
statesmanship, patriotism and capabili
ties to All the office. He believes Mr.
Taft possesses all these.
Then, announcing his text and hav
ing Introduced and explained the same,
lie said tin part:
The whole human family IK passing
through a crisis which crisis la born of a
world wide consciousness, and the essen
tial unity of the life of all natlona. Our
American nation, aa a world power, has a
great responsibility In Its Influence upon
other natlona. At the same time, our na
tion Is facing national crisis of its own.
Theology lacks the note of certitude, and
religion has not enough of the authoritative
in its message. We are passing through
an era of reconstruction In theology. We
should not make vain attempts to em
phasise the traditlcaa! views. It would
be better for the church to austaln even a
temporary loss In some things, than to cling
to untenable positions. We ahould not Ig
nore the light of modern scholarship upon
any subject with which religion has to deal.
We must not confound theology with re
ligion, and dwell upon externals at the ex
pense of the essentials. It Is not a ques
tion as to whether men go to church on
Sunday so much as to whether the Influence
of the church Is with men In their every
day life. The fact of the matter la we
need more Christianity, not more Church-lsnity-
Sectarian dlvislens are not as
vitally Important aa some would have us
think.
If we had fewer religious denominators.
It would be better for religion, and better
for the world. Foreign mlsslona are carry
ing In them the certain doom of petty
sectarian divisions upon the field abroad.
Why not upon the field at home. alsoT
'There are too many reilgioua denomina-
, Uons In the small towns. especially. J
CHURCH SERVIC
Churches should cot compete, but co-oper
Christ. In his teachings, always placed
the emphasis upon the practical things In
connection with every-day life. Therefore,
all our modern crisis should lead us. not
to theories about religion, but to Christ,
Himself. We should apply the truths He
taught to our modern problems, we anouia
stop and think, and them proceea, ana
find mnnlV
Our business with Christianity is not to
theorize about It, but as someone has saia
to proceed upm It." We should stop
long enough to think. We should think
Ibng enough to think clearly; we should
thir.g clearly enough to act wisely; we
should act wisely enough to arrive. Let
the new and fuller light come; let the new
voice be heard: let the new dynamic of
Christianity be found; let all our crises
lead ua to the real Christ. Then let us go
where He leads us. snd do wnat He wouia
have ua do. This Is the religion for the
world of today.

Xew York Soloist Sings.
Few sacred solos sung In Portland
thl season have been so warmly appre
ciated as that heard yesterday morning
at the Taylor Street Methodist Episco
tal Church, when Leon Rice, tenor,
from New York city, sang "The Ninety
and Nine." Mr. Rice Is a member of the
Rice-Caesar Concert Company, and has
a finely developed lyric tenor voice,
high set. expressive and sweet. Speak
ing from a critical point of view, his
voice is nearly perfect technically and
is one of those real tenor voices one
hears so seldom In these days of high
baritones, who try to sing tenor be
cause there's more money in it. Mr.
Rice's expression and shading formed
a treat and in the "rejoice" passage
he gave the necessary declamation. The
other members of the concert company
are Miss Amanda Caesar, violinist, and
Miss Jean Caesar, organist. At the
evening service the trio gave a pro
gramme of sacred music which was,
for its uniform excellence, very much
appreciated.
SAYS POLIGE ftRE UNFAIR
XEGRO PREACHER OBJECTS TO
TREATMENT OF HIS RACE.
Incidentally Grills Both Old Parties
and Bespeaks Support for
Prohibition Candidate.
Charging certain city officials and
members of the police department, whom
he failed to name, with laxity In the per
formance of their duty, and with unfair
ness In their treatment of those who
endeavor to assist them In ferreting out
criminals. Rev. W. W. Matthews spoke
last night on "Man. and His Powers for
Good and Evil." Mr. Matthews is the
pastor of the African Methodist Episco
pal Zion Church. Thirteenth and Main
streets. He commended Police Commis
sioner Thomas G. Greene for filing
charges against certain policemen. The
speaker condemned the gambling clubs
and the vices engaged in by members of
his own raoe.
The newspapers came In for their share
of denunciation, for characterizing as
stool pigeons" two negroes who assist
ed the police. Mr. Matthews said that
because it is generally believed that
members of the colored race shield crim
inals, they should be encouraged when
they assist In bringing them to Justice.
He admitted that the charge that negroes
secrete members of their own race who
have committed crime from officers who
are searching for them, but Justified this
by saying that in the South the negro is
never given Justice, except at the hands
of his own race.
His sermon In part follows:
The black race, throughout the world.
has come to a crisis. It seems rather hard.
but it Is nevertheless true, that his color
Is greatly against him In hie efforts to rise
above his present condition. If ever there
was a time when black men should get
together and stand together. It Is now. If
the colored people In Portland claim for
themselves any honor. I stand here to tell
them that every aquare Inch of It Is at
stake. If the criminal and gambling ele
ment la to be allowed, and even encouraged.
to dominate the standing of the colored
citizens of Portland, then It Is high time
that we all migrate.
Personally I am not well acquainted with
the two men whom a local newspaper has.
for some reason possibly known to Itself,
dubbed "stool-pigeons." But they are
among the best people of my race, and I
am glad to have the honor of representing
them when I say to you that all gamblng
dena and low dives must go. The tlnburket
beer gang must take a back seat. But If
every man who has enough honor and re
spect for the laws of our city and state
to report violators, la to be dubbed a "stool-
pigeon." our city Justices, and Circuit grand
Jury will be handicapped for a long time
to come.
Man haa great rower In the use of the
ballot. It la oae of our beet means of de
fense and protection. The 75R.O00 votes to
be cast by the black man In November: if
cast wisely, will give results that will pave
the pathway of our political and civil rights
with Joy, peace and success. I do not ad
vise absolute desertion from the Republi
can party. But It la generally understood
as a conceded fact that 90 per cent of the
colored voters are going to withhold their
support from the Republicans until the Re
publicans return to the old faith of Lincoln
and Grant, whose connections led them to
accord all men a fair deal without regard
to race or color.
Perhaps we have all read with tears In
our eyes, the "Letter of Acceptance." by
Mr. Taft. And most of us believe. If we
are to Judge the future by the past, that
It Is all "taffy." nicely done up in Roose
velt parcels. We have also heard Mr. Bryan
with his new idol, "l.et the People Rule,
but It will not be worshiped by many of
our people Now Mr. Chafln is on the
scene. He is the Prohibition candidate who
speaks In Portland next Friday. If he
keeps up tho same courage in all Ms cam
paigning as waa ahewn in Springfield a few
days ago, when he was violently assaulted
by the mob, for defending an Innocent
colored man. he may get the lion's share of
those votes.
Hottest Place on Earth.

is said to bo the hottest place on the
globe, far hotter than Tophet, The av
erage temperature is about 141 de
grees. On the coast, where the people
live, there is no fresh water, but here
and there in the harbor's bottom are
strong, free-flowing springs of purest
water, rivaling that which flows down
the sides of the mountains of Lebanon,
flavored by the sap of healthy cedars.
Divers equip themselves with bags
made of skins and descend to the
springs, where they fill the inverted re
ceptacles with aqua pura. This water
is cold enough to drink without the aid
of Ice. of which the islmrtra know
nothing.
BIG GOAL LANDS
E
Portland and Puget Sound
Join Properties Worth
$15,000,000. -
MAY ACT FOR RAILROAD
This City Will Be Made Distributing
Center for Combined Output
of 3IInes In Southwest
ern Washington.
Portland la to be mada the distributing
etation for the combined output of the
coal mines in Southwestern Washington,
estimated at 11,000 tons daily. These
properties, whose aggregate value is 116.
Onn.000, have been consolidated by T. S.
McGrath, of this city, and his associates,
prominent Seattle and Tacoma men, ac
cording to an announcement made by Mr.
McGrath yesterday. Mr. McGrath de
clined yesterday to reveal the identity of
his associates In the deal.
The promoters of this enterprise declare
It is a purely commercial consolidation
by which mining and marketing ex
penses will be reduced materially and
the product supplied for steamer, lo
comotive and domestic uses, giving
customers the benefit of economy In
production and lower prices.
Through the deal which has Juet
been closed, the consolidation of the
famous Gale Creek and South Willis
mines and several of the smaller mines
in the same fields, with Haskell &
Co., of Seattle and Tacoma, and the
United Steel and Equipment Company,
of this city, Seattle and Spokane, has
been effected, putting the new com
pany in a position to control practi
cally the entire output of high-grade
locomotive coal in Southwestern Wash
ington. Haskell & Co. and the United
Steel and Equipment Company are two
of the largeet shippers of steam, do
mestlc and blacksmith coal In the Pa
cific Northwest. The consolidation Is
generally supposed to have been
brought about in the Interest of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail
way, which is extending Its line to the
Pacific Coast.
Coal of High Grade.
The South Willis and Gale Creek
mines are conceded by coal experts to
produce the finest grade of locomotive
coal mined on the-Pacific Coast, and
the combined output of the new com
pany of 11.000 tone a day assures an
ample supply for any railroad, even in
times of heaviest demand, and makes
the company the largest Individual
miners of coal in the United States.
The right of way of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway passes
within about three miles of the South
Willis mines, and as it is well known
to owners of coal land that this rail
road has expended over $600,000 In
prospecting unsuccessfully for coal
along Its new line to the Pacific Coast,
it is persistently rumored that Mr. Mc
Grath is acting for them. The general
belief that Mr. McGrath and President
Darling are working together at
Prince Rupert, British Columbia, the
terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway, in acquiring control of Ca
nadian coal and timber lands, lends
additional color to this rumor.
However, the fact that Mr McGrath
is selling agent for the Crow's Nest
Pass mines of the Kootenai country.
owned by James J. Hill, Is leading
coal operators to believe that the deal
is In the interests Of the Great North
ern Railway, and that the combination
effected Is really that of the South
western Washington mines producing
high-grade locomotive coals, with the
Great Northern mines of the Kootenai
district. Mr. McGrath has been trav
ellng almost continuously between the
Crow's Nest district and the South
western Washington mines during the
past five months, and it would appear
that the recent forest fires, which have
temporarily shut "down the Crow's Nest
Pass mines at Fertile and Michel, may
have forced him to close Immediately
with the coast producers.
Denies Railroad Interest.
Mr. McGrath denied emphatically last
night that any railroad company is in
any way connected with the coal and
commercial combination which he and
his associates have effected.
"We have simply conceived the Idea of
consolidating the coal-producing proper
ties of Southwestern Washington by
which we will be able to mine and mar
ket the product more cheaply than it is
now being produced, said Mr. McGrath,
We will construct coal bunkers In Port
land as soon as we can purchase a desir
able site. We will be equipped for coal
lng all foreljrn and coastwise steamers
here in the Portland harbor at a saving
to these vessels, which now coal at Na
nalmo, B. C. Eventually we also shall
have an auxiliary bunker at Astoria for
the accommodation of incoming and out
going steamers.
"We will also be in a position to supplv
the railroad corporations with the finest
quality of locomotive coal that Is mined
anywhere. It will not be long before
moBt of the railroads will replace their
on-burning engines with coal-burning
equipment. It Is impossible for the rail
roads to renew their contracts for fuel
oil for less than double the price con
tracted a year ago.
'The demand for coal for domestic pur
poses also is increasing rapidly and we
will be able to meet this need. Cordwood
is becoming scarce and the price is ad
vancing so that coal soon will replace this
fuel In the home and office."
Although It has been denied repeatedly
by the Hill representatives. It is generally
believed that when the North Bank road
begins running trains into Portland a line
of steamers will be established between
this city and San Francisco. In that
event there would be a further demand
for a coal supply here and It undoubtedly
Is in anticipation of that move by Hill,
In part at least, that the new company
has been organized.
The Dressing Table.
So many women complain that they
find It impossible to keep their dress
ing table covers clean and neat. Every
thing in the room seems to gravitate
toward the "dresser," and each leaves
it mark, while powder will sift through
the most closely woven material and
spoil the wood beneath.
The only sure way to procure a neat
dressing table is to protect the cover
with plate glass, cut to fit the top of
the table. Of course, it is expensive;
but, once required, it. will last for ever,
and it saves so much washing, also
wear on the covers, that It soon pays
for Itself.
Sometimes linen covers are not used
under the glass. If the regular cover
Is not used, place a piece of blotting
paper on the wood. It is neat and the
paper may be procured in all the most
delicate shades.

Dr. Heppe Contrasts Prophecy
With Modern Life.
SAYS GOAL NOT TOO HIGH
Psalmist's Vision of Perfect Condi
tions Far From Realized, bnt
Trend Is Upward, De
clares Pastor. '
"Society, and Christianity's Impossi
bilities" was the subject of the sermon
delivered at the Grace Methodist
Church, Twelfth and Taylor streets,
last night, by Dr. William H. Heppe,
the pastor. His text was Psalms
lxxxv:ll: "Truth shall spring out of
the earth, and righteousness shall look
down from heaven." He said in part:
n.). ! i h . ,tttnrnnre of a. sreat states
man. In youth David was a ruddy shepherd
lad. in manhood he waa crowned king.
While ruling upon the throne he performed
the offices of a poet, prophet, and states
man. Aa a statesman he was wise and far
seeing, and had a vision of the times that
lie beyond.
How far we are from the fulfillment of
this prophecy! Take the Sermon on the
Mount, for Illustration. Put It face to face
with our age. face to face with the highest
form of civilisation aa represented In cur
country, and what a contraat! Measuring
this masterpiece of Christ, whose fitting
pulpit waa a Judean bill, by the pulse-beat
of the times, bv the. commercial gDlrtt of
the age, and It seems the frenzied utterance
of the most frenzied tninaer nistory na
produced. Looking from our present day
viewpoint.' Christ's words that day seem
never to have been Intended for thla world.
Christ said. "Lay not up' for yourselves
treAsurea uDon earth." But the men who
are In the front places today are the Na
poleons of finance, the men who have
heaped treasures mountain-high. "Take no
thought what ye shall eat or drink, or
wherewithal ye ahall be clothed." Tet
society offers us a carnival of feasting, and
Is ablaze with splendid apparel "Resist
not evil, but whosoever smite thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other alBo."
Look at our armies and ravles. with their
millions of soldiers and formidable battle
shlos. whose whole business Is to ward off.
and to strike back.
It will not do to attempt to dismiss all
this by a sweeping gesture of the hand; and
to say that these words of Christ are
rhetorical flourishes, mere Orientalisms on
his part. He was laying before the world
the great principles which are the stock
in trade of the Kingdom of Heaven, prin
ciples that are to be woven into the fabric
of humanity.
We gather from this that Christianity Is
la a large part a religion of Impossibilities. ,

Many of these are only seemingly so. Yet
after all haa been said, there is much in
Christianity that lies In the realm of the
impossible. These Impossibles of Christ.
Instead of being an objection, are evidences
In favor of Christianity. If the greatest
is to be awakened within ua. then the
Infinite and unattainable must ever con
front us. With Christ we "sit In heavenly
places." only to see that there are higher
places still.
"But." some practical man of affairs may
ask, "Is not this high vision of the ever
unattainable In the spiritual realm contrary
to the best and largeet welfare of our prosy
earth?" Thla history of our Christian faith
and progress certainly fully answers this
question. There has been a constant move
upward Each successive generation has
advanced to a larger and better life through
the myatlc drawing of the Gospel.
I grsatly deplore, what I am pleased to
call the "deportment-storo Idea o? religion."
Men engage In so-called secular pursuits,
buying and selling. In scientific, literary,
commercial and governmental pursuits, as
if they had no relation to other pursuits
which they are pleased to call sacred. It
Is this erroneous idea which has had much
to do with the slowness of the fulfillment
of this proptiecy.
INSTINCT OF MOTHERHOOD

"Storm" of Children.

"Do I look very blown and disheveled?"
apked Laurel, as she Joined her friend
Mary in the quiet, well-ordered studio
where they lived and worked together.
"The only sign of a storm that I see
is your clouded brow," laughingly
answered Mary.
"Well, I've been through a storm, a
whirlwind, a cyclone of children. . I
called on Mrs. Bowers, of whom Cousin
Mattle wrote me. You know the fam
ily has recently moved here, and Cousin
Mattle asked me to be friendly. But.
Mary, I doubt if I can ever take that
brood of boisterous children Into my im
mediate circle.
"There are four of them, though they
seem much more numerous. They are
astnundineiv near of an age and lrre-
preraibly strenuous. They flocked around
me, laughing, teasing. . taiKing. maaing
a perfect babel of sound, until their
mother, at last seeing my aiscomnture,
perhaps, dismissed them, saying serenely
that aa I had met them, we should enjoy
a little quiet. They ran helter-skelter,
with a fearful clatter and the gleeful
shouts one reads about in poetry1, good
naturedly pushing and pulling each other
out of the room.
"I felt as If I had been through a tem
pest. I don't see how any one can live
all day, every day, in such a bedlam of
children! I should have nervous pros
tration In a week. Poor Mrs. Bowers,
she has my sympathy.!"
"She doesn't need It. I'm sure," said
Mary, smiling. "Your Instinct of mother
hood should tell you that every noise
those youngsters make is dear to her
heart."
"I'm afraid I'm lacking in that qual
ity." "No. I don't believe you're lacking In
It," remarked. Mary, thoughtfully. "The
instinct Is not yet awakened. Some day
you'll know what It la to love even the

trying noises of a child."
Laurel looked skeptical, but said noth
ing, and in the engrossing interest of her
work did not again think of Mrs. Bow
ers and her children until, when she
picked up the morning paper two or
three weeks later, her attention was at
tracted by the headline:
"Diphtheria Robs a Home of Four Lit
tle Ones,"
"O Mary., I must go to Mrs. Bowers at
once!" she exclaimed, handing the paper
to Mary. "Bee what a dreadful thing
has happened, and she la a stranger
here!"
Two hours later she returned, white
and worn, but It seemed to Mary that
there was a new light of tenderness
her eyes.
"I shall never, never forget the un
speakable grief of that stricken mother,
she eald, as she sank down wearily. "It
was heart-breaking, and I was helpless
before It. Any remark of mine would
have seemed almost an impertinence in
the face of such sorrow as Mrs. Bowers'.
But as I took her hand, she said:
" 'You understand. You saw them In
their brightness and merriment. You
can realize the horrible quiet of this
house!'
"My face flamed as I remembered my
unworthy criticism of that noise, now
stilled forever, and I burst Into tears.
" 'Yes. I know you understand,' she
said again, and. Mary. I did understand.
As we sat silently hand In hand for an
hour, I longed with an intensity almost
equaling that of the bereaved mother
for the sound of a child's voice in that
desolate house, and- It seems to me now
that I could open my heart to all the
little children in the world."
"The awakening has come," murmuYed
Mary, softly.
