POSITIVE FORCE IS NEEDED
Methodist Pastor Asserts That Line
Dividing Member of Religious
Bodies From Otters Is
Fast Dlsappearlng.-
Answerlng the question. "What a the
matter with the church of today?" Dr.
William H. Heppe. pastor of the Grace
Methodist Chur.h. said In his sermon
yesterday morning that the modern
church la lacking In moral force, faith in
"eternal verities." and enthusiasm. Ho
raid that the indifference of non-niembera
! largely the fault of those whose names
are on the church roll, and that unlesai
there U a speedy revival of religious
faith the life of the church will become
extinct. .
Already, the pastor said, the line of
demarcation between the members of
the flock and those outside the fold has
been almost obliterated. Next Sunday
morning the topic will be. "Does the
Church Need a ew Message;
Dr. Heppe took for his text I Cor.

members are not seeking to excel In the

trying to dlitlngutn themselves as mighty
edtnra of the church? How man.-"
investing their best In building It up? There
ar. three thing. In which ths church !
wanting. .
Afraid off Great Tahs.
First of all the church ! not manifesting
enouch faith In Itself. B-auea of Ihla it
is wanting in aggressive force. It seems
afraid to launch out Into great undertak
ings, to di business In great waters.
Hut back of this 1. a greater cause, ths
want of faith In the eternal verities of the
Gospel of Christ. There Is too much het
tsncv. too much doubt, too much uncer
talnl'y The world is not impressed with the
church'a faith In a positive Christianity.
It Is a period of transition. TiT
are new views, new visions of truth. Hut
amid It all there should be one clear, ring
ing, positive note. How can there be
authority, conviction. mJRhty -plrttual grip
ping power on the part of the ministry and
the chun-h. when everything Is open to
question, when ths church has no definite.
r!en-ut meseage. when it is uncertain of
the foundations upon which it Is building?
We are environed with a chilly atmos
phere of doubt. The blighting winds of
skepticism are sweeping over the flowery
field, of Christian life until they threaten
to de.troy every bud and blossom.
Only Sneer for Believers,
Men look with suspicion upon everything
that cannot be weighed In the balancea of
reason, and with contemptuous disbelief
upon everything that cannot be laid bare
bj the scalpel. To believe In Christ aa tha
Incarnate Hod. to declare Jesus as the only
rame given unto men by which they csn
ba saved, to hold fast to the Bible as Ood'a
word, to p reeent the Gospel of Christ aa the
enlv hope of the world, as (Hailstone re
garded It. 1. to expose ourselves to the
sneers and criticisms of so-called liberal and
advanced thinkers, to bs classified aa "bark
numbers." and to be declared out of har
mony with the supposed prevailing Ideas
and beliefs of the times.
Over sgalnst this uncertainty and unbelief
the church Is not manifesting sad Offering
a robust, positive faith in the great under
lying truths of Christianity. We can never
hope to awaken, much less to win men by
e. weak, tepid faith. Men will be Impressed
by a sound Gost-el. but not by a Gospel of
Xnere sound. The need of the hour Is not
a flabby, spineless church, but a faith-full,
ffnlth-enriched. faith-throbbing- church. By
t h- latter men will be wen.
We are too ready to hold other agencies
responsible for the Indifference today toward
the church and holy things, when the church
Itself Is in large measure responsible. We
are not offering a mighty conterm-ttng spir
itual f.irce that will sweep everything be
fore It. and cause men to think of God. of
their aouls. of salvation, and to tremble be
cause of their sin. We need a revival of
religious faith, and that right speedily. Ths
ery l'f e of the church In dependent upon
It. We shsll lose our heritage If we do not
love It.
Lives Are Not Buugkeleea,
The church of today Is wanting In blame
lens, holy living. 1 frar that In many cases
ths tine which should distinctly separate
between ths church and ths world Is fast
reaching the vanishing point. Jesus said,
" Ys are not of the world, even as X am not
of the world." The apostle commanded.
'Ft not conformed to ths world, love not
the world " Then wortls plainly Indicate
a distinction. But there is so much of the
Christian life of the day honey-rorr.bed With
orM y indulgences sr.d compromise thst
aM that Is left is a this outer shell of re
liclous formality. Such has not been the
life of the great edlflers of the church In
other period.
The church has no need, much less the
world, for Christians of ths hermtt type.
We want Christiana who are blameless
and sincere, "the sons Of vlod. without re
buke, in the midst of a crooked and per
verse Nation, among whom we ara to shine
as l.ghts of the world." Christ tana who
preserve their purity and Integrity, not
amid lonely mountain heights and the soli
tudes of the desert, but amid the densest
populations the keenest competitions, and
ths pollution of our modern cities.
What Church Needs Today.
The church la wanting tdoy In Christians
to whom character is everything. In Impor
tance transcending culture. In dignity
ct lllng honors. in greatness outranking
thrones, in value outweighing gold. In power
mightier thsn Niagara, in glory outshin
ing worlds. The church needs to be greai'y
reinforced by christians of the E.ljah and
J -ph at-d Panlel tpe. Men and women
v ho can pass through Gdleae Babylons and
K man psJacea with all their mor&l filth,
keeping their garments pure as ths drifted
irov. snd without marring the bleom upon t
their cheeks, or losing- the innocence of
tiieir ee.
In these days of greet opportunity, bleae- ;
Ings. needs, and ;ra, the church la wanting
la an aii-consumlng. all-embracing enthusi
asm for the klnicdora of Gd. Many a
church can be described as passionless. It
t without emotion, enthusiasm. fire, or 1
spliltual glow. The most that can be said j
ef It is that It Is "faultily faultiest, lcliy !
regular, splendidly null."

"My Young- Man mm a Husband. was
th subject of the aermon at the St.

MANY GODS TODAY
Money-Worship Nation's Chief
Religion, Says Brougher.
TAKES FLING AT MRS. EDDY
Christian Science Is Exaltation of
Self In Place of God, Asserts
Pastor, Who Also Deals
With Social Evil.
In his sermon at the White Temple
last night on Society's Joss House."
Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher took occa
sion to assail one of the positions taken
by the Christian Scientists, saying that
self-deirication is contrary to the first
precept of the moral code. In the same
1

iiBl,inrii)lTiT rfimi n'l
connection Dr. Brougher said Borne
wives worship their husbands and some
husbands their wives, but aa they are
few he could forgive them. His ser
mon was the first of a series on "The
Ten Commandments Up to Date." The
moral law, recorded In Exodus 20:1-20,
was taken as a text. Dr. Brougher
said in part: -
The moral law enunciated In the ten
commandments by God on Mount Slnal is
still up to data. These commandments will
stand as long as God stands because they
are an expression of his nature and his will.
There Is a copy of the Constitution of the
United States so printed that It reveals
the features of George Washington. Any
one studying carefully the ten commind
ments will find them revealing the character
of God. You might burn every Bible In
the land and still the ten commandments
wouJd be true, for they are In harmony
with the nature of God and the universe.
So long as God Is God and sin Is sin, so
long will It be necessary to preach the ten
commandments The first which we notice
tonight requires that ws shall have no other
God except Jehovah as our God and guide.
Let us study this In the light of Christian
civilization. The dictionary says "any per
son or thing exalted ss ths chief good or
made an object of supreme devotion; any
thing that abaorbes one'a attention or aspir
ations" la a god. From this definition it
la very clear that thia coirmandment Is
needed today. The ancient Jews wore In
danger of accepting the gods of the heathen
nstlons about them and in many Instances
they did. They worshiped Mammon. Moloch,
Baal-Peor and deified various Individuals.
Under different names ths same gods are
worshiped now.
More people worship the almighty dollar
than worship Almighty God. We look In
pity on the poor heathen who gashes and
disfigures himself to appease the imaginary
wrath of his god but In modern society to
day men are sacrificing health, working dsy
and night in order to accumulate money.
There Is no denying the fact it Is a tre
mendous power in business. In politics and
In society. America has no aristocracy of
blood but she has a most contemptible one
the aristocracy of money. It la the magic
key that opens the door to almost any social
circle. Such aristocracy Is not based on In
tellectuality, education or even refinement.
It Is simply based on money. We are a eet
of Mammon worshipers. We fall down be
fore the god of gold and serve him day and
night.
Moloch was the Are god of the Canaan
ltes. His Image was made of brass, hollow
within. His face was like a calf's face.
He had the arms and hands of a man. Fire
was kindled within this brass monster and
when he became red hot the victim was
placed In his arms and roasted to death.
Sieve we anything like that today In Amer
ica T YesI The selfishness of man does not
stop at any cruelty to gratify its over
weaning ambition. The liquor traffic is will
ing to sacrifice tens of thousands rather than
deny Its appetite. There Is no business in
this world that has practiced such cruelty,
blighted so msny Uvea, blasted so many
homes and kindled the fires of hell In so
many hearts as the liquor business.
Ask ths preachers who visit the poor;
sk the police Judge who Is trying to enforce
ths law; ask the Jail warden who must
guard the prisoners; ask the physician and
the hospital nurse; ask the heads of asylums
for criminal lunatics; ask the workers among
the pauper districts of the city, end every
one of them will tell you that hundreds and
thoueanda of lives sre being wrecked and
ruined and sacrificed to the god of Moloch
by a hesrtiess and cruel drink traffic. Great
corporations and other employers of labor
who pav low wsges and compel their em
ploves to work in unhealthful surroundings
with a perpetual grind upon rervea and
muscle and mind are sacrificing the lives
of men and women and boys and girls to
the cruel rod Moloch.
The worship of Faal-Peor among the
Moabltes and Mldianltes was the exaltation
of lust and lice utlousn ess. In view of the
overwhelming opposition to the enforce
ment of the law upon the North End. no
one can possibly deny thst Baal has his
thousands of devotees In the City of Pert
land They tell us that this worship Is
absolutely necessary to the well-being of
society. Men tell us that there is no hope
for the fallen woman that they must be
kept In the prison houses of the slum dis
tricts, lost to womsnhood. and shame itself.
I doubt If there is any god that has more
devotees In the social lUe of the world to
day than BaaL This awful worship is
burning the manhood out of voung men
and breaking up hundreds of homes, filling
our divorce courts with unnumbered cases
and planting" a plaue spot in the heart of
every city which many tell us can never
be removed. This evil centers around the
worship of Baal in a Christian land just

Money Subscribed by Third Presby
terian Church for Expansion.
At the regular eervlceB yesterday
morning In th Third Presbyterian
Church, East Pine and East Thirteenth
streets, the turn of S00 was raised within
a few minutes, to be used In building a
large basement-room under the church.
Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, pastor,

tions of the plans and purposes of the
session were sex forth by several speak
ers. B. -C Herlow, leader of the boys'
brigade movement In the Third Church,
was has gathered much headway, spoke
of the pressing need of room lor the
Sunday school and young people. W. H.
Markell and 8. N. Steele further spoke
of the need for Immediate action. It
was shown that the work of the Sunday
school' Is hampered by lack of room and
there Is need of a place for the boys
brotherhood. Very soon after these mem
bers of the official board had spoken, two
was subscribed.
About J1000 will be needed to carry out
the plans adopted, but the remainder will
be secured without trouble. . The base
ment room will be x70 feet. There will
be a large room, smaller ones ior the
kitchen, lavatory and other conveniences.
The large room will be used by the Sun
day school and for special meetings.
Contracts will be let and work started
at once. Rev. Montgomery said yester
day that the work of the Third Church
had expanded so much that it is impera
tive to have more room.

OLDEST IN WORLD
First United Presbyterian
Church Formed at Albany.
FIFTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
Denomination Started by Union of
Two Willamette Valley Churches
In 1853 First Building
Used Is Still Standing.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 11. (Special.)
Today marked the 65th anniversary of
the United Presbyterian Church of Al
bany, the oldest church of that de
nomination In the world. Organization
of the church was effected October 11,
1853, In a house which yet stands on the
corner of Second and Washington streets,
in this city, and la used as a residence.
The United Presbyterian denomination
was first formed In Oregon. It resulted
from a union of the Associate Church
and the Associate Reform Church at a
meeting held October 20, 1862, at the
home of Rev. Wilson Blaln. at Union
Point, JH miles south of the present
town of Brownsville. Rev. Blaln, who
conducted an Associate Reform Church
at Union Point, and Rev. Thomas S.
Kendall, who was pastor of an Asso
ciate Church at a point on the Cala
poola River, known as Kendalls Bridge,
near the present town of Shedds, formed
the union and adopted the name "United
Presbyterian." This was six years be
for the United Presbyterian Church was
formed in Pennsylvania, which was the
beginning of that denomination In the
East.
Both of these unions, though entirely
independent of each other, were effected
on practically the same basis and they
are now under one government.
When the United Presbyterian Church
was first formed In Oregon, Rev. Blaln
continued to conduct his church at
Union Point and Rev. Kendall did the
same at Kendalls Bridge, both under
the new name and organisation. The
first new church formed In the denomi
nation was at Albany. As neither of the
two old churches Is yet in existence, the
Albany church bears the distinction of
being the oldest United Presbyterian
Church in the world, as well as the first
congregation ever organized under that
denomination.
This church was formed 53 years ago
today, the organization being .effected by
Rev. James P. Miller and Rev. Thomas
S. Kendall. There were H members. The
first acting pastor was Rev. James P.
Miller, who was killed In the explosion
of the steamer Gazelle on the Wil
lamette River April . 1854. Rev. S. Q.
Irvine. D. D., then took charge of the
church and occupied the pastorate for 40
years. Rev. R. M. Little, now of Chi
cago, was pastor three years and was
succeeded by Rev. C. R- Stevenson, now
of Vandergrift. Pa., who was pastor four

SCATHING WORDS FOR SALOON
Rev. J. B. Knodell Blames It for
Nation's Misery.
That the salvation of the American
people from the baneful effects of the
liquo.- traffic Is the greatest question
now befo: e them, was the statement
made by Rev. J. R. Knodell, of the
Oregon Anti-Saloon League in his ad
dress before the members of the First
Congregational Church, yesterday
morning. Rev. Mr. Knodell said tl.at
when he took up the League work in
Oregon last January the organization
was $4000 in debt, but that notwith
standing the campaign of last Suring,
through which 21 counties were voted
dry, the League now owes but $1200.
He made an appeal for subscriptions,
which met with liberal response. The
speaker's text was Galatians vi:2, in
which the Apostle admonished the
members of the Galatlan church to
bear one another's burdens. Mr. Kno
dell said, in part:
' om people would hav. us believe that
the greatest victories for th. temperance
cause have been won In the' South, through
the efforts to protect th. Southern home and
the Southern woman from the negro. But
some of our first vlctorlea were won in th.
North.
We need to exercise much patience In
dealing with this traffiu, which has in
trenched Itself so strongly in the life of the
Nation. It is a tremendous task to change
the course of public sentiment, to alter the
habits of men and women, and th. laws fa
voring this business. Lawyers and law
makers are bound by precedent. Remember
that the Uauor business has been intrenched
among the members of the medical and sur
gical profession, and among business men.
To drive It from Its position has been a hard
task Our land Is covered with institutions
In which men have invested millions to
carry on this Iniquitous business. To meet
their opposition will mean also a great
" "Th-T'Antl-Saloon League Is the church of
Christian action. It seemed a few yea
ago aa though it did not make much dlf
ferenc. what stand the church took on
business questions. It waa said that 8 ,0.000
votes In the hands of the liquor men knock
ing at the doors of Congress could obtain
any sort of legislation asked But that Is
not so now. If 250.000 votes, knocking with
mailed flat, could secure legislation. 7.000.
000 votes will surely have a mightier power
and a more commanding ton. In th. ear. of

tion " Think of the shamerul and danger

SIN'S WAGE IS HIS TOPIC
CORBY WOULD HOLD PENALTY
BEFORE EVILDOERS.
Hope of Impunity I Nurse of
Crime, Declares Pastor, Dis
cussing North End Crusade.
"Why We Have the Power to Compel
Wrongdoers to Reform" was the topic
discussed yesterday morning at the L'ni
versaltst Church of Good Tidings. The
pastor. Rev. J. D. Corby, referred to the
efforts to do away with the red-light dis
trict In Portland. He declared that pen
alty should grip men and women who
make a business of evil and that the
hope of impunity Is the nurse of crime.
He said that he would punish the real
estate man who rents houses In his charge
for vice so severely that he would hesi
tate about engaging In so reprehensible a
business. Rev. Mr. Corby said:
Pour a cup of water on a sloping surfar.
and you shall see th. little stream go
trickling down, turning aside at very
slight Impediment and following the line of
least resistance. We say th. future of
Portland is secure since there is a down
hill haul from all th. surrounding coun
try to our docks. In morals, also, your
choice follows the line of least resistance.
The choice of sin wears the channel deeper
and deeper; this would seem to seal tha
doom of many were It not for a new fact
which appears. "The way of transgres
sors Is hard."
rihe downward path Is strewn with Im
pediments. There comes a time when ths
wrongdoer's evil disposition turns Into an
instrument of torture. Appetite craves
more than It can get. Deceit sees its
flimsy structure fall to the ground. Th.
more wrong he does the mors hardshlo he
endures. Humanity Improves because tn.
world Is so framed and man Is so consti
tuted that It is easier to do right than
wrong. Progress, says Spencer, is not an
Bri-lrlent, h"t fl nfceslty.
We Sell
on the positive guarantea
that if it does not give sat
isfaction we will return the
entire amount of money paid
us for it.
We ask all those who are
run-down, nervous, debili
tated, aged or weak, and
every person suffering from
stubborn colds, hanging-on
coughs, bronchitis or incipi
ent consumption to try Vinol
with this understanding.
