LEADERS ID IE BY COLLEGE TB1ING Importance of College Men in Church Asserted by Dr. Fletcher Homan. SPEAKS AT M. E. INSTITUTE President of Wlllamotto Tntvorslty Takes Issue With Other Speak ers at Mission and Church extension Sleeting, In fits address before the Methodist Conference Mission and Church Extension Institute, In session In Centenary Church East Ninth street, Rev. "W. B. HoUings head presiding, yesterday morning on "The Relations of Our Church Benevo lences to Our Denominational Schools,' Rev. Fletcher Homan. president of Wil hunette University, made strong plea for the college man. Just before Dr. Ho- man delivered his address the talks of several of the ministers tended to deny the importance of the place of the col lege man as a leader in the church, the topic being the "Difficulties in Obtaining Men for Mission Fields in Oregon," the remarks being made by Rev. R. E. Dun bar, Rev. C. E. Cllne, Rev. J. D. Gillilan, Rev. S. S. Sulllger, Rev. A. A. Hite. Dr. Homan defended the college man with much emphasis, declaring his place as a leader in reform and heroic sacri fice is large and Important. "History reveals the fact that nearly every great leader of every great moral and political reform has been a man from the college or the university," said Dr. Homan. "It is evident, then, that by some means apparently within the col lege or university these great leaders of society and these great promoters or tno kingdom of our God have been inspired and developed and trained for their great work. The result has been that out from the colleges and universities In times past, as well as in the present, have come people whose whole ambition was a Christ-like ambition, and whose whole motive might be summed In a single dec laration of Jesus Christ, 'I am come from Heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. Methodist Leaders College Men. "Educated men with splendidly trained minds have concentrated upon developing the resources of the church to the end that the world might be saved. If we will revert to the history of Methodism In this country and make a careful study of the great leaders who have developed our benevolences, we find that they have generally been men out of our universities and colleges, and while there have been other great leaders along various lines of church enterprises, it Is nevertheless true that the great per centage of our successful leaders are college men. If It were not true, where would be the necessity of spending mil lions as we do upon college education? "It Is undoubtedly true ihat college training. . training of the power of con centration to long continued effort, to the mastering of difficult problems, to the solving of hard, knotty questions, is of untold influence In developing executive ability. It Is manifest that the relations of church benevolences to the denomina tional schools Is of vital relations. It would seem the highest form of states manship to maintain the closest possible relation between all the people of Meth odism and our colleges. If it is true, as we believe It is, that from these colleges come our missionaries and our preachers and the multitude of Christian laymen. who in turn endow our colleges, pour their millions into our missionary societies, and our church extension societies, our Freed men's Aid Society and all of our other Christian Societies." Creation of Missionary Spirit.. Many spoke on the toplo "How to Cre ate a Missionary. Spirit," Rev. C B. Cllne declared that Methodism had de parted from its original simplicity and had rather set a dollar center, which must give place or the church would lose Its missionary spirit. Rev. R. E. Dun lap told of the difficulties of getting men for the Klamath district where there were charges 69 and 76 miles from the railroad. Rev. J. D. Gillilan, district superinten dent In the Columbia River Conference, told the same story, and pointed out the great extent of the territory, some coun ties being larger than many of the popu lous states of the East. He said he could ride all night by stage and sleep in warm ashes under some tree wrapped in his blankets. Rev. S. S. Sulllger declared that his difficulty was in keeping unfit men from coming West. Rev. John Flinn, the 92-years-oId Meth odist veteran who has been In this coun ty for fifty-eight years, fairly electri fied the Institute by his thrilling account of his work In pioneer days, when he rode or walked forty and fifty miles in the wilderness to preach the gospel In some lonely cabin of the early settlers. He declared it was not a question of salary, or whore the appointment would be it was go, go. The institute cheered the old veteran with great force, his white head and form quivering with ex citement as he spoke. F. S. Aiken, secretary of the Church Extension Society, spoke briefly, saying that during the ten years he had been secretary 117 churches had been helped. The institute extended Mr. Aiken a vote of thanks for his ten years of work as secretary. Sympathy for People- of Italy. Rev. C. E. Cllne called attention to the great calamity in Southern Italy, where by 100.000 people lost their lives, and said It would be proper for the institute to give suitable expression of its sympathy. A committee was at once appointed, which reported the following, which was unani mously adopted and ordered transmitted to Archbiehop Christie: Portland. Or.. Dec. 80. ArchWsnon Alexander Chriatie, Portlaiwl. Or. i "VVe hereby transmit to you a copy of the resolution- unanimously adopted by the Methodun Conference Mlmion and Church Kxtension Institute, now tn oenion In this rttv. relative to the rreat calamity that has befallen the people of Southern Italy: Roeolved. That we, representing the Meth odist Epleoopal Church of Portland and the region round about, hereby express deepest symjiathy for the people of Southern. Italy In the appalling- calamity which hae over taken them, and we hereby extend through Arrhbiwhop ChHatle, of this city. In touch with these suffering; people, our sincere con dolence. Signed by 'he committee. VY". T. KKRH, CLARENCE TRUE- WILSON. Discussion on Publications. In the afternoon Bishop Smith presid ed, and interest centered In tho discus sion of publications, started by Rev. C E. Cllne, who declared that vast expense could be saved by publishing In the Ad vocates the articles and Items of church Interest now appearing in "the Christian Republic and World Wide Mission. Rev. J. W. McDougall. delegate to the general conference. 6ald that he favored the union of the two publications, but it was not done. Rev. Clarence True s llson said that all reform started from the common people, and he approved of the trend ot the discussion. It was estimated that a great saving, running up to over $300,000 annually, could be effected by using the Advocates Instead of these two period icals. Covering the sentiment of the in stitute, the following resolution, offered by Rev. Mr. Cllne, was adopted: Revived. That all or nearly all Items af fecting the interest of tbe societies now sus taining; at heavy expense to the church the Christian Republic and the "World wide Mis sion mlgiit better be published in the regu lar Church Advocates. Signed by C. B. Cllne. Charles T. MoPherson. H. P. Nelson, C L. Hamilton. H. Oberg, William R. Jeffrey. J. W. McDrrugall. W. J. DouglasB. W. T. Kerr. J. T. Abbott, D. A. Waiters and others. T. S. McDaniel, of the Laymen Asso ciation, reported. Mission ministers also submitted reports from their fields. Rev. A. A. Hite announced that Warrenton would soon rival Portland as a shipping point. The afternoon was taken up with papers and ! discussions of the needs of the conference mission fields. Proceedings at 3fight' Session. Rev. D. L. Rader last night spoke on the toplo, "How Shall We Enter Into Competition With Other Denominations?" L Dr. Fletcher Homan, M ho Asserts Importance of College Men In Church Leadership. He answered practically there should b no competition, and gave many lllustra tions to show that the object of churches was often defeated by jompetltion. Ha, epoke for federation and comity. Bishop Smith delivered the address of the evening, which was a review of the work of the Institute, which he said was one of great importance. He then told of the workings of the home and foreign fields, paying high tribute to the Wom en's Home and Foreign Mission Societies, declaring they are glorious organizations. Bishop Smith spoke of the problem of the city, with the influx of foreigners. "Our general Government is one of the; best and freest in the world," he said, "but our municipalities the most corrupt in the world and a stench. How we shall handle the municipal problem we do not yet know, but I want to say that if our cities are ever purified It will be done through the church. It Is our duty to up hold the hands of every official who la trying to do his duty." Bishop Smith closed by paying a glow ing tribute to the pioneer Methodists of the West, and declared that it waa through them and through their sacri fices the Northwest was saved to tho United States, Mrs. A. L. Weaver on Monday made a report for the Woman's Home Mis sionary Society detailing the work of the society In raising $3000 in the last three years for the frontier work of the Ore gon conference. HIS "PROMISE" OR HIS OATH Statement Xo. 1 Members 3Iust Dis regard One or the Other, PORTLAND, Bee. 30. (To the Kdltor.) I have received a circular containing- what purports to be the principal points, made In what la called & sermon by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, A this circular Is evidently issued with intent to Influence the mem bers of the Oregon Legislature to violate their official oaths in the election of a United State Senator, It may be welL to answer it. In brief, what la claimed la: First The supremacy of tho people and their infalli bility where their rights are concerned. Second By placing- the election of Sena tors in the hands of the Legislatures of the states, the people made the mistake of placing it In corrupt hands, and the United States Senate is, as a consequence, at this time composed of men who bought fhelr seats from the Legislatures. Third That the vote of a member of the Oregon Legis lature for United States Senator la not his, but belongs to the people of Oregon. Fourth That a promise made to the people as a bribe to secure their votes, and in ex change for which they sell their votes. as sacred as an oath taken In court, and to violate such a promise Is perjury of the blackest type. This is not the exact lan guage, but It Is the substance and effect of what is said. Whether it is moral perjury to violate an official oath the gentleman does not eay. That is a print which he probaoly overlooked as beneath his notice. Not alone Is the gentleman's ignorance of his subject great, his moral sense appears to be rather obfuscated. The people are supreme. But In all mat ters covered by the Constitution of the United States the supremacy Is in the peo ple of the United States, not In the one two-hundredth part of them residing here tn Oregon. This question was fullly and finally settled some years ago, when the people of not one but of several states, be came possessed with tbe idea that they wre supreme. It costs hundred s of thou sands of lives to convince them that It was the people of the United States and not they who were supreme; that they werv only Just one common traitors. But It was done. The Constitution of the United States rwos mode and can be changed by the peo ple of the United States only. When Oregon was admitted into the Union she agreed uphold and obey this Constitution as then existing, or from time to time changed by the people of the whole country. For her to fall or refuse to do so now, in spirit as well as letter, is to be false to her agree ment and rank treason. It will be time enough to discuss the merits of any pro vision of the Constitution of the United States when an amendment of that pro vision comes before the people of the whole country for their consideration. Wherever the Constitution of the United States gov erns, Oregon has nothing to do but obey it as It exists. United States Senator Is not a state but a National official. In his position as a legislator he represents the people of the whole United States, not the people of the state of which he is a citizen. A Senator from Oregon has just the same voice In the enactment of a National law as a Sena tor from the largest state In the United States. As a consequence the people in terested in and which has the right, the sole and only right, to say how a United States Senator shall be elected, and to which, and to which alone, those who elect the Senator are answerable in doing so. Is the people of the whole United States. It Is not true that the vote of a member of the Oregon Legislature for United States Sena tor belongs, in even the slightest degree, to the people of Oregon, and for them to un dertake to buy It with their vots Is just as Immoral and corrupt as It would be for some "rich old imbecile to buy . it with gold. To undertake to Influence It by threats of political revenge, is morally just as treasonable as it would be to undertake to Influence It with & shotgun. The Constitution of the United States pro vides for the election of United States Sena tors by the State Legislatures. Election does not here mean the mere perfunctory easting of votes, previously sold for coin to some rich Imbecile, or to the people of the state or a part of the state In exchange for their votes. It means selection. It means that the members of the Legislature shall choose 1 for the people of the United States. It means that each Individual member shall exercise his best personal judgment In choosing. Each and every member of the Oregon Legislature who falls to do this, who rasts his vote for United States Senator by reason of any unlawful promise made to the people ox iregon ana ne couia mKj RAILWAY TIME CARD Grand Central Station SOUTHERN PACIKIO.
