Importance of College Men in

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.

Discussion on Publications.
In the afternoon Bishop Smith presid
ed, and interest centered In tho discus
sion of publications, started by Rev. C

vocates the articles and Items of church
Interest now appearing in "the Christian
Republic and World Wide Mission. Rev.

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:

submitted reports from their fields. Rev.

point. The afternoon was taken up with
papers and ! discussions of the needs of

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

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
