PREACHERS PRAISE
-HUH'CONTEST
Church Leaders Commend Es
say Competition to Pupils
of Portland Schools.
GREAT INTEREST IS SHOWN
Educators and Clergymen Join In
I'rglng Bos and ;irl to Try for
300 Tickets Ofrcred by
The Oregonlan.
Clergymen of Portland are enthusiastic
In their indorsement of the "Ben-Hur"
contest which is being carried on by The
Orrgnntan among pupils of the public and
Catholic schools, the prizes to be 300 tick
efs to the production of "Ben-Hur" at the
Hellig Theater the night of January 18.
When Interviewed yesterday they not only
expressed the highest opinion of the book
on which the contest is baaed but de
dared that its study and the composition
of essays would be of great educational
value to the pupils who participate.
"No minister of the Gospel can consist
ently withhold unotinted praise of "Ben
Hur,' " declared one pastor, and the ex
pressions of other clergymen showed that
they thoroughly agreed with him. It is
their unanimous opinion that General Wal
lace's novel teaches a ueeful lesson in i
manner that will keep it lone In the pu
pils' minds.
One of Great Modern Books.
"There is no question of the unspeakable
value of "P.en-Hur. " said Dr. Luther R.
Dyott. pastor of the First Congregational
Church. "It is the best book of its sort
that has been written for a number of
years and. by common consent, is regard
ed ae General Wallace's masterpiece. Sq
far as the educational value of thi con
test Is concerned, the work of The Ore
gonlan will do more to Instruct tho chl!
dren and to lodge In their minds things
they ought to know than anything that
Is being done outside the Sunday schools.
No minister should withhold the heartiest
Indorsement of this competition."
"The contest that The Oregonlan has
begun will be of much educational value
to all who participate in it," declared
Dr. Benjamin L. Young, pafltor of the
Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
" 'Ben-Hur' is one of the greatest books
of modern times, and depicts the Christ.
story very strongly. Because of its rare
and devout treatment and reverence for
sacred things, the book doesn't detract
from the theme. There are some scenes
l in 'Ben-Hur' which. If fixed In the minds
of young people, will never be lost, par
ticularly the healing of leprosy and the
chariot race. Every boy and girl who
enters The Oregonian's contest Is sure to
be benefited.
Rook Has Literary Merit.
Dr. U. H. Heppe, pastor of Grace Meth
odist Episcopal Church, was also warm in
his praise of the study of "Ben-Hur" by
children of the public schools. "The book
Is one of the finest and most wholesome
pieces of modern literature," he eald. "It
gives the rising generation a very cleas
Idea of Christ's time and the Influence
and evolution of his life. Another reason
that It is beneficial to young people Is Its
high literary merit as compared with
much of the trash of the present day."
It was expected Wednesday that The
Oregonian would be able to announce this
morning the names of those composing the
two committees on awards. The appoint
ment of these committees, however, was
not completed yesterday, owing to the ad
journment of school, caused by the storm.
Superintendent Frank Rlgler and Father
Edward V. O'Hara expect to complete
these committees today and the names
will oe published in The Oregonlan to
morrow. Father O'Hara has caused announce
ment of the contest to be made In all the
Catholic .schools of tho city, and there
promLses to be keen competition among
pupils of these Institutions, as well as
those of tho public schools. In speaking
of the competition yesterday. Father
O'Hara said:
" 'Ben-Hur' can be highly commend
ed to pupils of our schools and for
that matter to those who are no longer
pupils, as a vivid presentation of an
important period In history. The auth
or has a wonderful faculty of making
his readers live in the scenes that he
depicts, so vividly are they brought
before the Imagination. It would be
well for pupils who are studying the
book to observe the one defect in Ben
Hur's character which is the trickery
employed by lilm to win the chariot
race. This, however. In no way de
tracts from the force and value of the
book."
Indorsed by Mrs. Sltton.
Mrs. L. W. Sitton, member of the
Board of Education, yesterday Joined
with the other directors in recommend
ing that all pupils who are eligible
enter the "Ben-Hur" contest. "The
study of this book and the composition
of essays based upon It will be of
great help to all who participate, she
said. "I am always glad to have the
pupils take up one particular line of
investigation, and In this case It Is
particularly desirable because of the
historical and literary merit of the
book."
Pupils who wish to enter the "Ben
Hur" contest should remember that
their essays must be in the hands of
The Oregonian by next Tuesday, Janu
ary 12. The following day they will
be turned over to the Judges and no
essays received after Tuesday will be
considered. The essays should be
about 150 words long and written on
only one side of the paper. In the
upper left hand corner the pupil should
write his name, address, grade and
school. All pupils of the high schools,
eigth and ninth grade grammar schools
and of corresponding grades In the
Catholic schools are eligible to partici
pate. For the 300 best essays The
Oregonian will give 300 tickets for the
performance of "Ben-Hur" at the
Hellig theater the night of January 18.
The synopsis of "Ben-Hur" wtjlch
The Oregonian has been publishing .be
ginning last Monday, Is concluded with
the following chapter:
The Crucifixion of Christ
B1
ally the man born to be King of the
Jews. To Hur the words "Kin of the
Jews" had but one meaning" that Christ
was to reign as a temporal monarch
that the Romans were to be driven from
Judea and the nation with its old wor
ship, its old glories restored.
Believing that, Ben Hur devoted all
his energies to the raising of an army
which should be ready when the moment
came to seat Christ upon the throne of
Judea. His friendship to Sheik Uderim
had placed under him 10.000 Arabs of the
desert born, soldiers every one of them.
With these 10.000 spears as a nucleus.

It was a bitter disappointment to Ben
Hur therefore, when Christ himself re
vealed his divine mission on earth. Not
rntll the awful dav when Christ was
crucified did Ben Hur realize that his
dream of a temporal kingdom for the
Messiah was ashes.
Ben Hur married Esther, the daughter
of Simonides, and both became Chris
tians. It was the wealth of Hur that
provided the catacomb of San Calixto
in Rome, the burial place of the Chris

RAD QUIT WORK
READY TO GIVE UP IN CESPA3H
Restored to Health By Vinol
I was sick, run-dowa and finally
had to give op work. After trying
number of remedies and several phy
sicians, I was just about ready to give
up in despair. I saw vlnol ad
vertised and decided to try It,
and it has done more good for
mo than all other means combined. It
has built me up and restored my
strength until I now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to my
work again as usual." Job Jeavons,
1036 Lind street. Wheeling, W. Va.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the strengthening
blood-making and body-building ele
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol Is unexcelled as a strength
creator for old people, Selicate children,
weak, run-down persons, and after
sickness and is the best known rem
edy for' coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money if Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.
