THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAy, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1903. 8 SCOUTS METHODS OF MODERN CHURCH Dr. S. C. Lapham Returns to Attack Upon Sensa- tional Preachers. v ADVOCATES CHRIST LIFE This, He Sy, I Remedy for Pres ent Trend of Nation Religions Dife, Which Is Toward a Soulless Machine.

Do you want tha same method Introduced In our churches to get tha crowd T In renewing his consideration of the -Mission and Message of tha Modern Church." Dr. Laphara. at the Second Bap tist Church, fcast Seventh street, yester day morning, read a number of letters he had received, commenting on his sermon, as published In The Oregonlan. of Mon day. S-ptember M. These letters came from different portions of the state, and all approved his position, lie answered aome criticism that had been made to the effect to discard the methods of tha modern church would be bad policy, that high-class singing, expensive choirs and brilliant preachers were needed to fill UP tiie church, by declaring all these things were in direct opposition to the teachings of Chruit. Ir. iJtpham spoke from the following text: "The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister." "As the Father hath sent me Into tha world, even so have I sent them Into the world. He '"we hear mueh today of the social mea of. church.

I am asked "what have you to offer that le better than the modern methods and the modern appeal to attract and hold people?"' My answer Is the Christ melh.Ki. Jesus summed It s'l up when He eid: "Lova ens another as I have lowed you." If one half the members of the church were to perpetuate and reproduce Christ in their lives hv the practice and power of the lore which characterta-d tha Christ, there would be no resort to the Tuodern church and her mission. Jesus Mid, "Love thy nelRhbor as thyself." and are not tr evade that demand for the personal touch of sympathy and humble helpfulneea. W are not to substitute Instltutums. spec tacular preachlnc and a soulless worldly religious machine for the practice, of the loe which Christ demand Men wilt not c'ine to pray on the Lord day beside t!e men who have preyed upon tnem all the week. The man you call brother at the church door you must look upon and trwat as brother at the d-Hr of your own home. In the shop and the stone. The church member who has great wealth amid the poverty, need and sick ne of those about htm Is known and marked as a hypocrite by every man out side the church who has read the Ufa and t'Nirhlrci of Jesus and the resort to meth ods and mere t hinge will not overcome the repelling Influence upon minds of honest men Christ applied to every sphere of Christian conduct will solve every church prcbre-m. T-e church 1a evading moral and spirit ual responsibilities. - I,t preachers and churchee turn from cheap sensationalism uid the "modern methods' and attempts to popularise the church to taking care of their own widows and orphans, the healing of the sick as Jesus did of old the preach ing and llilng of holiness and this repro ducing of Christ In mission and method wilt draw men to the Christ Ufa Jesus did not eome to give us a aet of religious ldeaa Only when the gospel is embodied In a life Is It fully preached. The modern church in practice la the most self-centered Institution on earth. How can we attract for ourselves? TV hat will this man brtr.g to ust Our musia. our building, our service how can we make all things contribute' to our upbuilding, la the ab sorbing subject tn the church. Not now much can we give, but "what do we get out of UT" Not now many can we save but "how can we save ourselves T Not bow much can we sacrifice, but "how comfortable and respectable and pleasant can we make our church life?" The religion of the world Is the religion of thlnga. "How can we glorify this life a-td make It enjoyable?" This is the creed of society, science, discovery. Invention, art and all production are only to make the journey of a life on Its way to eternity more san j and comfortable and luxurious, white eternity la of no consequence and the rui is of little concern. The church is all it swamped by this World passion for things, and Is missing her message of truth, eternity and forgiveness In her haste to make lUe more agreembl. The church le com log to dVpend upon and put Its faith In nest a and might, and power and money and the great things upon which empires and Institutions rest. Wh shall dare to say that a church, pract :ctng the cross of Christ In sacrifice ef self and tne loe of Christ in service and conduct toward men. wdu.J not fulfill Ita mission to sln-strickon society more fully than the church Institutions of the day with thsir m.Mern methoals ? When the church ceases to be wholly 1n tereeied in her own wvll -being and Uvea eupremely for others In the dally conduct and life of Its members, there wtll be no need to discuss up-to-date ecbemes to at ttact people. The miasioa and message of the church to society is to give to society Christ men and women who will do and. live and be what Christ was among men. FROFOrS TO REFORM MEN Her. J. Alloa las Says This Is Cure fop Evil. FpcaJdcff at the 6U Jaj&ta fifflib "nan by the tn.hvulual rlgMvMmnei of l ln.ilvldu.1. I have new d1" -hrit propo-d no wholeMle heme of Lutheran Church last nlffht on "My Tounf In Society." Rer. J. Allen Leas said that the way to cure the social rll Is to reform the men. when the evil will die of starvation. He said he has no sympathy with thoe who condone present conditions because of labor dif llcultlew. His sermon. In part, follows: Man was not created for a monastic Ufa. He has bis counterpart In woman and woman In turn has her complement in man. When God said "It la not grod for man to be alone." he uttered a basic prin ciple of human existence, a law written la the nature and soul of man. , While the great principle of universal brotherly love is acquired, the more com mon principle of conjugal love la inborn, a part of man' s being. It is this that la at the foundation of social life. Purified, It Is the making of society; putrefied. It ts the means of the lowering of tha social standard and the moat effectually condemning Influence of the world. If there are east into the grind of licen tiousness ITA. or thereabouts, of pure young women every day, to keep pace with the demand, then there must be rastly .more of those who are partners in the crime of the mining of what God created pure and spotless. We cannot agree with the reformers who condone the eln of the young men whom they say are driven to ehame by reason of the failure to make a livelihood Tor two In a little home where purity and happiness reign and all because of the labor conditions. No difficult position In the world of labor le a license for crime or licentiousness. We hear much of those, who, as the offscourings of decent society and who are drUen from the city by the strong hand of the law. We hear of those who thus deal in the traffic of flesh and blood and the traffic of souls, men who are ten fold worse than the miserable wretches who have but from two to five years to live after they fail Into the trance from which so few ever awake; but not a wjtd is cald of those by whose coins and patron age the nefarious trade la made possible. No corporation, company or class will engage in commercial enterpriae without the assurance or evidence of patronage. It la up to those who make and those who enforce the laws as well as those who break the laws of the land and laws of common decency to reform, and withhold the patronage which makes crime possible, and the social evil will die of starvation. The laws of the state should be enforced but they should be ample enough to cover every abettor of the evil and his punish ment should be equal to that of the rest. OBSERVE FEAST OF ROSARY Solemn Services Held at East Side Dominican Church. Ppeclal services were conducted yes terday in the Holy Bosary Dominican Cburcb, on Union avenue and Clacka mas street, in commemoration of the victory of Lepanto and other victories and favors obtained through the devo tion of the rosary. Masses were cele brated at . T, 8:30 and 10:30, the lat ter being; the principal one of the day.

MARES ADDRESSES TO BOTS A. Kins; Wilson Predicts Great De velopment for Oregon. That It will be but a few years until a network of electric lines will extend over the State of Oregon, on both sides of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, and to Seattle and Vancouver, B. C, was the prediction made by A. King Wilson, lnspeaking to the lads assem bled in the T. M. C. A. auditorium yes terday afternoon. The boys' meeting, held in place of the regular Sunday afternoon men'a meeting, was presided over by one of the Juniors. Albert Lewis. A quartet by the boys. And mandolin and a guitar duet were rendered during the service. Mr. Wilson told a number of stories, and then asked the boys what part they were planning to take In the de velopment of the great Northwest. He railed attention to the coming of the Swtft packing plant, and of the estab lishment of several condensed-milk fac toriea in the state wlthtn the last few years. He remarked that they will need large numbers of young men. In a few years, he said, we might even find a telephone in the pocket of every business man, so that he could call up his office by wireless, no matter where he might be. Mr. Hammond, of the Portland Trade School, which has been started in the Atkinson building, Twelfth and Davis streets, said Portland has the. third trade school In America, the two others being at Philadelphia and Milwaukee. He aaid the school is teaching car pentry, pattern-making, tha molding machine trade, architectural and me chanical drawing, and electrical work. By employing mechanics instead of college professors or regular teachers, Mr. Hammond aaid the school is aiming to give practical training to the young. Secretary Stone announced that Rev. Mr. Parker, formerly pastor of the Tremont Temple, Boston, will speak next Sunday. Ha also called attention to two classes, one on Missions, and on the Modern City, which are to start Wednesday night. In the classes these subjects will be studied in a system atic manner. Cboosea Startling Title. A list of 10 sensational subjects for ermons was given out by Dr. J. Whit comb Brougher yesterday. He calls the series "The Lightning of Sinai In Mod ern Society." or "The Ten Command ments Up to Date." The sermon titlea and dates follow: October 11. "Society's Joss House"; October 18. "The Automatic Calf; Oc tober J5. "Slang and Swearing"; No vember 1, "Holy Day and Holiday"; No vember 4, "The Old Folks at Home": November 15. "Murderl Murder! Mur der!": November S2, "Broken Marriage Vows": November 1. "Stop, Thief! top. Thief!"; December . "The Lying Gos sip"; December IS. "The Center of In iquity." - At Home at T. W. C. A. ' Tha T. W. C. A. "at home" yesterday waa one of interest to 'the Association girls, although it was held in the old rooms, the new building not yet being readv for occupancy. A half hour with the piano and violin, which was much appreciated, waa furnished by Miss Lalle mont and Herr Arthur Adnardson. of the Oregon Conservatory of Music This was supplemented by several selections, ren dered by the choir of the Hassalo-Street Congregational Church, under the direc tion of Mrs. Morrow. The atngers were Miss Zeta Holllster. Miss Lottie Hampton. Frank Holroyd and F. O. Hickie. Dr. Paul Rader recited "lbs Ou-1 of Buboo." SAYS LAWS WILL CURE SQGIAL EVIL Dr. Brougher Believes En forcement of Statutes Alone Is Needed. MEN, TOO, ARE CRIMINALS Pastor Would Pnnish Them Equal ly W ith Women, but Promises Helping Hand to Re form Both. That the social evil can be abolished from Portland if the officials of the city have the backbone to enforce the law was the statement of Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher in his sermon at the White Temple last night, when he addressed a large congregation. But he said that the law should be enforced against the men as well as the women, and that the rent ers who receive exorbitant prices for their property In the North End should be made to feel the sting of the law. He said the frequenters of disorderly places should be arrested by the police and their names given to the public To the cry of some that It is not possi ble to reform this class of women. Dr. Brougher said that he can give dosens of illustrations where they have been lifted to right living. He took for his text the story in John vili. of the woman whom the Pharisees wished to have stoned. Dr. Brougher aaid in cart: In the present moral reform crusade a sreat deal is being said about "unjust dis crimination." and to a greater or less de gree much that Is said Is true. It is easy enough to enforce a law against any vlee in which very few people Indulge. The sin that has power over you Is the sin that you love. Any evil for which you do not care" Is easy enough to quit. Any sin that only a few people In the community want perpetuated the great majority will soon suppress. But any vice that Is popular and that the overwhelming majority of the peo ple love will be hard to abolish. There are some evils in the world against which It Is easy to pass the most stringent laws and have them vigorously enforced. In the moral development of our city, there are certain evils that were never tolerated, while others were permitted for a long while under the argument that a majority of the people wanted them and therefore they could not be abolished. But the mat ter was agitated and public sentiment aroused until It mas seen that these supposed-to-be-necessary-evils could be abol ished if we had officers with sufficient courage to enforce the laws against them. By this process we have seen public gamb ling stopped, the Bunday saloon closed and the slot machine, and cloeed boxes la res taurants selling liquor abolished. Commends City Fathers. I want to take occasion right now to commend Mr. Cellars and the other mem bers of the City Council who recently paseed the ordinance prohibiting women from entering esloons or any other place wherei intoxicating liquors are sold unless It Is a publlo restaurant containing over 400 square feet, and in wklch there are no eoreens. I think every one who believes In the protection of our young women ought to thank the council for this ordinance, and for revoking the Club Cafe license re cently. I want the members of the City Council to know that the decent people of this city appreciate anything that they may do for the moral advancement of our city, and that He are Just as quick to com mend them for that as we are to condemn them for the other. In the moral progress of our city wa have now come to the point where we are dealing with the most difficult problem of city lire. The social evil, we are told, has never been successfully abolished from any city since the world began. It seems to be argued from this that what has been, and what Is. must be. I have never had any confidence In such reasoning. There are a thousand things that have never been done before that are being done to day In every department of life. There are some "new things under tne sun" even If Polomon up to his day had not eeen any of them. This world Is not only making great progress materially and Intellectually, but also morally and spirit ually, and we are going to do some things In the moral world as well as In the ma terial world that .have never been heard of before. "There are more things In heaven and earth. Horatio, than are dreamed of In your philosophy." Fight Will Be Necessary. But the social evil is not going to be abolished without a tight. It Is too strong ly entrenched In the minds of the people as a so-called "necessary evil," and affects so many people, both high and low, that It mould probably be difficult to get an overwhelming majority vote against It. However, I doubt If there could be found a man or woman whose conscience is so hardened that he or she would for one mo ment take the public stand that this evil is right and therefore ought to be sanc tioned by law. If It Is ever sanctioned by law It must be done by prostituting law to the protection of that which la wrong. Woe unto that people who shall become so morally hardened that they are ready to call black white, evil good, and wrong right It must be recognised that the so cial evil hi an evil and It must be dealt with accordingly. But how shall we deal wtth lt Let us study this subject In the light of the teaching of Jesus Christ. We can get our lessons from the manner In which he dealt with the woman taken In sin. Jesus VThrlst ts no respecter of persons. He Is no respecter of sex. He Is no re specter of age. in the white light of heaven's throne, a man's sin Is Just as black as a woman's. With Jesus Christ the question of sex hss no bearing wnat ever With society, however. It Is different. The world has two codes of morals femi nine and masculine. But no such distinc tion Is recognised by Jesus Christ. In the world vials of wrath are poured out upon the heads of unfortunate women, but a roval welcome Is given to men who are notoriously unclean. Society hls.es the wo man and turns around and kisses the man end mark you. women themselves are more to blame for this condition than the men. The verdict of this world Is that the cruel est thing on God's green earth Is one wo man to another. The woman Is sent out to shame and disgrace by a single misstep, while her masculine companion, who may be a moral leper. Is welcomed Into the best of society. I do not mean to say that the standard of morality for womanhood should be reduced, but I do mean to say that the etandard of manhood should be raised to the eame standard as that of womanhood. In the present enforcement of laws In the North End It Is not Just that the wo men alone be condemned. I believe that the law ought to be enforced on the women if they do not change their manner ot life, but I also believe that the law ought to be enforced against the man who rents his property for immoral purposes. Let the mTn who are acquiring wealth by renting their property at exorbitant prices In the North End feel the sting of the law also. Let the men who frequent those places be aVreeted and when they are brought up before the Police Court let their real names be given to the public. It is an absolute Injustice to damn the women and let the men so free- But. mark you. my plea is not the oae you popularly hear on the street and la the newspapers that since the law la not enforced on the men. there fore do not enforce It on the women. This J. . argument simply for the perpetuation of the evil, but let us demand that the lew be enforced upon the men as well as upon the women. Christ forgave the woman of Samaria, who confessed that she had more than one husband Just as Quickly and sincerely s he forgave Peter. When Jesus Christ forcave the woman he did not remember the cast against her any more than he re membered the past of the man against him This is not the way with the world. Society finds It mighty hard to offer the sl ahtest forgiveness to a fallen woman. I doubt It there are many women In modern -ieiT who could forgive a fallen woman. Ind even If she did live an upright life afterwards, net remember the past against bar Once again I say I believe the wo- PORTLAND BUSINESS DIRECTORY WHOLESALE AuxUCl'Lll'KAL lLSaUtNTI. A. H.

Jesus Christ recognised woman as the equal of man and offered to both of them the same forgiveness and the same power to be what they ought to be. There ara people who believe that a woman from the North End could not be saved anyhow. I know that they can be. I can give any number of Illustrations growing out of the work right here in this city as well as In other cities where dosens of these girls have been saved to a pure and upright "'when Jesus Christ has once forgiven the man and the .woman they w ill have equally his love, confidence . and help. In neither case will the past be dragged up to hinder their future achievements In good. There ha. been a treat deal of maudlin t'n"nn: expressed about the girls In the North End. This Is due to the fact, of course. That many people think that they will not have a fair chance to be decent If they want to be. To hear some people talk you wSuTd think that these girl, were ' """ and that the onfy possible r dr ever make a living was to go on In the r life of sin. No doubt many of these girls feel tnat way themselves. Their own con sctinc. condemn, them and they feel that a cold heartless and unjust world con Serns them to a perpetual life of -ham. But this Is not true. If they have the least spark of womanhood left nd desire to be what they ought to be. the Christian women of this city are already organised To help them get back Into a true and up right life. They will be tarnished money to go back to their homes again If they nave that desire. If they wish to remain In Portland every accommodation and com fort will be effered them until they can get into such work a. they are capable of doing in order to make an honest living. The men and women who are interested lnT.hl. matter will protect th .irl. a. far a. possible from undue publicity. We " not propose to deal with we do not propose to differentiate .'hem from other wo'men. Everything that la done will be done for them Just as If they had never stepped aside front the path of virtue. They will be treated Just the same a. men seeking to live honorable and upright lives. They are them hold their heads up and remember the is something better for them than a life of ehame. If they want to do right they will have the same sympathy and help and consideration that w. would give to hundreds of young women who are now living an upright life and making their living by honorable work. I? would be a good thing If we could es tablish certain home, where young women who have been living this life could go and learn some useful occupation. Some day that will be done In this state, as well as In New York. In the meantime let us pray and work that the unjust discrimination against women may pass away. Let us do our part as Christian people to give woman an equal chance with man. Let us above everything else seek to protect the young women who eome to our cities from the temptations of such a life. Once again I want to commend the coun cil for establishing the woman's auxiliary to the police department. Mrs. Baldwin, who Is at the head ot this department, with her assistants, has given practical help to S15 girls, given advice through Inter views to over 800. and through Investigat ing pltfalla and other places of temptation has made the lives of young women in this city safer than ever before. The traveler's aid department of the T. W. C. A. has looked after over TOO young women this past year In this way. They have met them at trains, directed them to respectable ho tela and restaurants, sought employment for them and given them Just such help as would deliver them from the machinations of evil men and women. I am prouder tonight of this city of Port land than I have ever been and I want to say to the people of this city through the newspapers that the women's auxiliary of this city, together with a company of Christian men and women, are now ready to do everything necessary to give the fal len girl an equal chance with her brother to live an honorable Ufa and at the same time we are seeking to do everything we can to help every true young woman In the city to be what she ought to be.

BELIEF 1 FUTURE LIFE PASTOR SAYS MANY EVIDENCES SUPPORT IT. Resurrection of Christ Great Under lying Reason lor Hope of jjife After Death. "The Certainty of a Future Life," was the subject of Rev. J. A. P. McGaw's sermon- at the Calvary FresbyteVian Church last night. He took for his text II Cor. v:l, and said in part: The Apostle Paul expresses certainty con cerning the life to come. How had he at tained to that certainty? How may we attain to a like certainty? There are some considerations that create a strong presumption lu favor of a life for man after death. The belief In a future life Is very wide spread and persistent. It is found In peo ples as far apart In time and In culture as the ancient Greeks and modern savages. Socrates, the wisest of Jhe Greeks, and Plato, his great pupil, believed In the Im mortality of the sou An old African chief, who had known Livingstone, asked Stanley. Where has the old white man gone" Implying a belief that there was a rart of Livingstone that did not die. The fact that the belief Is so widespread cre ates a pTesumption In Its favor. The fact that the belief Is so nearly uni versal renders It probable that It Is In stinctive, or divinely Implanted. Every Instinct of bird or beast or man corre sponds to a reality. The instinct that leads the mother bird to brood over her eggs corresponds to the reality that there Is life In the egg to be developed by the warmth of her body. The Instinct that leads the little bird In the egg, when the time comes, to break the shell, corresponds to the reality of a life for that bird out side of the shell. ....... We all believe, with Matthew Arnold. In "a power, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness." Now take the case of the best man that has ever lived in this world Jesus Christ. He did only good. WTiat reward did he receive from men? He was rejected, spat upon, crueilied. His last prayer waa In these words: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. It the answer to that prayer waa annihilation, how can we believe that there Is an eternal power that makes for righteousness? The Apostle Paul, however, does not men tion any of theee considerations. His as surance of a life to come rested on a more solid foundation than Is afforded by any of these thlnga He based his hope on the teaching of Jesus Christ and on the dem onstration of a life after death by the resurrection of Christ, He savs that Jesus Christ "abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel." He abolished death In the sense that he proved that death is not the destruction of the believer, but his transiUon to a higher state of beChrist proved the reality of the life to come by his own victory over death. The resurrection of Christ Is one of the certain facts of history. De Wette. a German rationalist. known as the "universal doubter." in the last book written by him. after weighing the evidence of the resur rection presented by Paul in the 15th chap ter of First Corinthians, said: "The resurrection of Christ, while a darkness that cannot be dissipated rests on the way and manner of It. cannot be called In question, any more than the his torical certainty of the assassination of Julius Caesar."

Burnslde Bridge. he affected to learn that there was one great fact of Christianity that even the "universal doubter" could not doubt The certainty of Christ's resurrection rests, like any other historical fact, on the testimony of witnesses who could not be mistaken as to the facts, and whose veracity cannot bs called In question. Resting on this great fact, we may say with Paul, "We know that If the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God. a house not made with hands, eternal. In the heavens." CALLS THEM TO REPENTANCE Dr. Foulkes Holds Out Hope to Fallen Women. Dr. William Hiram FoulkAs, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, believes that careless or vicious early training Is responsible for the condition of many un fortunates who have been ordered by the police to leave Portland. He reminded his congregation in his sermon last night that these women were not alwnys thus, and that there is still hope for them. He took for his text the words of Jeremiah. "The harvest is past, the Bummer is ended, and we are not saved." .' The sermon was the first of a series to be delivered during the Autmnn. They were announced in a four-page leaflet in Autumn colors, promising "Seasonable Truths in Serihon and Song." Special music, including an adaptation of Tostis" "Good-bye to Summer," by Mrs. Boothe and Mr. Walters, and a selection by the quartet, were well received. Dr. Foulkes said in part: Beneath the poetry of the text Is the pathos of the truth It represents. On every hand men and women are awakening to the lamentable fact that the great moral and religious concerns of life have been put off too long. There are times when re pentance and faith and hope and peace are sought but not found. Take the case of the unfortunates of the North End who are being buffeted from pillar to post They were not always what they are now. Perhaps vicious or careless early training contributed to their delinquency, but In many cases they were once as virtuous as any of their sex. They passed through the springtime of girlish chastity and the Summer of malden-like virtue, and now that the blasts of merci less law are driving them from their haunts, they are saying with bitterness or perhaps with a bravado that conceals heartaches and nameless shame: "The harvest of our Innocence is past, the Summer of our virtue is ended, and we are lost" I ara not saying that there is no hope for these, no fountain of grace opened for them. All I am saying Is that there is no hope In them, no grace In which they are trusting. Yet they axe not alone. Not beneath the grosser and revolting sins of licentious ness and drunkenness, but under the great blanket sin of indifference to moral and spiritual good, a host of others are sleep ing the sleep of sensuous unconcern over ths Issues of life. How long will It be before the flip. bold, and luring youth of both sexes, whom I saw mingling last night with the amiable, and. I have no doubt for the most part, virtuous crowds on Wash ington street, come to the end o their Summer, the close of their souls" harvest of grace?

Suit Oax St. TELLS M HE IS CATHOLIC FATHER SHERMAN CALL IT TRIE CHURCH. Universality and History of Organi zation Commends to Well Known Priest. . "Why I Am a Roman Cathoic," was the subject of Father Thomas Sher man's opening address last night in St. Mary's Cathedral. In presenting his views of religion, Father Sherman referred to the found ing of the church and the gift by its founder of the divine life and preroga tives. He also dwelt upon the neces sity for unity in the church, the unity of worship at one altar. He then point ed out the comparative youth of other denominations as compared with the venerableness of the Catholic Church, and of its world-wide extent, in spite of different- races and languages, as compared with the restricted territories in which other Christian denominations flourish. On this account he disputed their claim to be called catholic churches. He said: In Chicago the Lord's prayer ts recited In 45 languages and men who speak all those languages find themselves at home around one and the same altar In the 150 churches of one and the same communion, the Roman Catholic communion. Here Is unity and universality before our very eyes Follow our little white fleet as It goes around the coast of South America, at every port the pinnacles of Catholic cathed rals are most consplcious as the fleet ap proaches. Follow it around the globe, the same Is true. Travel abroad wherever you go you are met by magnificent monuments of Catholic art of every age and nation. Follow our troops In our different wars. I served with the boys of the Third Illinois Regiment In Porto Rico. There were large Catholic churches In every village. Some of the soldiers said: "Chaplain, where can I find a church?" "That Is It. my boy, on the plaza." "Why, chaplain, that is a Catholic church." So It was everywhere. Out in the Philippines our men were as tonished to find churches larger and more commodious than those of Chicago and every one of them Roman Catholics. This you see Is simply a question of fact. There is a world-wide church: there Is a church of all ages and of all nations, the name Catholic belongs to us, so does the property or attribute Catholic. We have fought for It. suflered for It; clung to tt when It meant prosecution, exile, famine, sword, contempt. Imprisonment, everything that Is horrible, and now that it Is the ' name of transcendent glory it cannot be taken from us, nor can it be ehared by any save those who bend in obedience to our sacred head. We know ourselves as the one world-wide body of Christ and. therefore, as the true church. The limita tions of time and of nationality; the hav ing part of the Bible and not the whole. All these mark and distinguished the others easily from the one true church. Astoria Has Cash in Treasury. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 4. Special.)
