SPEAKS ON LOST SHEEP
Pastor rrgw Hpentance and Talks
of BUfrhtJng Influence Exerted
on His Fello-wr-Men hj Ed

About 45 mnbri of tha Portland
Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, with
their families, attended the service at
the Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church last night. The saloon-keepers
attended in a bodr at the special Invi
tation of Dr. Clarence True Wilson.
At the close of the service they were
cordially greeted by the pastor and
Invited to come araln.
Dr. "Wilson's subject last nlfrht was.
Heaven's Interest in One Sinner." He
took his text from Christ's parable of
the lost sheep, of Luke xv. The pas
tor read the 10th verse "Even so. I
say unto you. there Is Joy In the pres
ence of the anirels of God over one
sinner that repenteth." He then said,
in part:
Sermon of Dr. Wilson.

common people heard him icladly. The hack

pride, selfishness, prejudice and unbelief. But
they have challenged Mm fr a debate and
lie deigns to reply to their hypocritical ob-J-ctlons.
He arises the opportunity to en
lljrhten their min.la and to break down their
opposition. Ha holds tho mirror to their
faces In the parables of the lost sheep, the
lest coin and the lost son.
The ancels rejoice In heaven over one
sinner that repents, because by his con
version the m'ral character of a sinner's
Influence Is forever changed. Every human
t-elng has Influence. It Is Inseparable from
existence. Its effects are as penetrating as
the perfume of ointment Its results are
as permeating as the echoes of a trumpet
Its presence Is aa manifest In every Ufa as
the leaven that swells the meal.
Art tons That live Forever.
Each moral action and utterance Is linked
to a chain of sequences which no mortal can
foretell Earth Is a vast whispering gallery,
where words and actions live on and ring
on forever. Scientific men tell us that ths
words spoken by Abraham and Elijah are
still influencing the air; that the atmosphere
Is a mighty library, on whose pages humia
actions and utterances have ail been Im
pressed. Influence Is born with us like Are
In flint. It wallas with us, flushes from the
eyes and radiates from us like light from
the sun.
How fearful a sinner's Influence over
ethers! The Hlble sums up Its testimony In
one brief and awful verdict: "One sinner
destroyeth much good." Like Acban. he
perishes 'not alone In his Iniquity." In
fluence Is posthumous, and of an evil man,
as of the fallen Abel. It may be said. "He,
being dead, yet speaketh."
Influeare of Brilliant Bad Mrs.
Who can measure the destructive Influ
ence of a fascinating, brilliant, cultured bad
man! Hecatombs of souls have ranen be
fore Voltaire's polished shafts of Infidelity!
Think of the licentious Influence that has
rolled from the writings of Hume and
Hobbea, Justifying all forms of sexual Ini
quity! Think of the multitudes who have
been Influenced by Robert Dale Owen In
his struggle to abolish the marriage rela
tion! Think of the moral barks of young
manhood that the eloquent, yet shallow,
blasphemer Ingersoll Is driving on the long
reefs of atheism, infidelity and free thought.
A alnner's poisonous Influence! The arith
metic of eternity can alone furnish the
rules for Its computation, and the record
ing angel can aione hold up the factors
In their sum total.
Now. the angels see this Influence de
stroyed, and a holy Influence taking its
place In a sinner's repentance and con
version! Study the life work and try to
cast up the Influence of such men as Saul
of Tarsus, Peter, John, Newton, once the
dissipated English sailor. Francis Murphy,
John B. Gough and a host of men who have
saved thousands and made converts cen
ters of future moral . power. When the
angels witness a repentance that Inaugu
rates a magnetic and positive holy life, no
wonder they strike their harps with new
vigor and exhibit Joy In the presence of
God.

When Hosea Pallou and Ms brave fellow

After these men broke the road the wor.d
began to hear of liberal preachers whose
names have since become household words.

and Beecher. Canon Farrar and Phillips
frocks found It easier to walk In the light
because these men had blazed the trail.
In the 80s Henry Ward Beecher startled
even his congregation br his denunciation
of the Idea that God was creating millions
of souls only to damn them. That was
counted a brave utterance, hut Hosea Bai
lou had said the same thing far better
fed years before.

The leading theological seminary of New
Tork Is teaching Its students to believe

Its great endowment, has moved under the

want our Inclusive thought, our Inspiring

those who bear the Universalis name. Per

ITS PLACE IX PLAN" OF LTFE IS
TOPIC OF PA-STOR.
Great Glory Found In Bearing Bur
dens as Christ Bore Them, De
clares Dr. Dyott.
Dr. Luther R. Dyott preached at the
First Consrefrational Church last nlffht
on 'The Problem of Suffering; in the
Plan of Life." His text was Romans
vlil:lS. "I reckon that the sufferings of
this present tlma are not worthy to be
compared with tho glory which shall
be revealed to usward." The chief
points which he emphasized In the) ser
mon follows:
Reason.' faith, observation and experience
help ue to believe that life runs not at
random, but It Is to be worked out as a
plan of our omniscient Creator. Broadly
speaking, this applies to all other life upon
eatth provided, to be sure that life Is not
In deliberate and wilful antagonism to the
revealed purposes of God. "Nothing walks
with aimless feet" when, as far as that life
can. It moves Ip a perfectly normal con
dition, and according to the best light It
possesses. .... ,
This applies to the life of the Individual
man or woman or child as certainly aa It
does to the life of the whole human race,
and creatures lower thsn man. Each life
Is a plan of God Wisdom can have no
higher achievement than that which Is
found through entering Into this plan. Some
times It Is almost as difficult as It Is desir
able, to enter Into this plan. There are times
when we enter and work without clearly
knowing that we are working out Gods
plan
But assuming, admitting or proving that
all life Is planned of God. when It Is not
contrary to bis will, are we to say that
suffering Is a part of God's plan? Borne
who have given a great deal of attention
to tho study of life answer In the affirma
tive. Others tell us thst suffering Is the
Inevitable result of sin. Had thore been no
sin In the world there would have been no
suffering here. They can even think of God
as art arnsry being, and that the atonement
of Christ satisfies the Justice of God. They
build systems of orthodox theology and
support theories upon verses of scripture.
There are others who decline to be dog
matic on this question and when asked "Is
suffering a part of the plan of God?" frank
ly replv. "We do not know."
Whether the original plan of God con
templated suffering as sn essential part of
that plan Is a matter that the practical,
religious man csn afford, to leave entirely
with God. without begging the question of
sturdy orthodoxy. .... ...
There Is a mental attitude held In the
name of religion which dares to deny the
reality of suffering. There are those who
aav that there Is no such thing a suffering.
It is not In the plan of life. In all fairness
It may be said ttint there are still others
who are Just as well Informed, quite as
well educated. quite as sincere, who
no not stop to theorixe about the
rnvsterv and origin or suffering, neither
do they deny Us reality, but they believe
that suffering may be borne as Christ bore
It They tell us that we may enter Jnto
the fellowship of Christ's sufferings.
When this Is done we may be sure that a
glory In life, found through no other means,
will be found here. This Is the thought of
the Apostle Paul. So far as we can under
stand. It seems to be the thought of Christ,
himself. Therefore the problem of suffer
ing In life, whether It be In the original
plan or not. Is to be solved In the light of
Christ and In the spirit of Christ. We have
no right as Christians to save ourselves from
the sufferings and burdens of those who are
In hard places. Sympathy Is the soul of
religion. Service Is the vindication of re
ligion. Character Is the finished product of
religion. Even the sufferings we cannot now
understand shall somewhere, sometime, be
Interpreted In the light of a "glory which
shall be revealed to usward "

The new fcntlding of the Epworth
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Twenty
sixth and Savler streets, was formally
dedicated by Bishop Charles W. Smith at
the conclusion of the services at the
church last night. It is practically free
from debt, more than JIBOO being raised
yesterday to complete the payments. The
cost of tho church building, with the
furnishings, exclusive of the organ. Is
about 19000. An organ, at a cost of about
HO0O, Is to be purchased soon. An organ
from another church has been secured
for temporary use.
The property upon which the church
stands Is valued at 15000. The church
also owns property adjoining the chnrch
building, on Savler street, and here it is
planned to erect a parsonage at an ap
proximate cost of a00. Rev. C. T. Mc
pherson, the pastor,, to whom credit Is
due for successfully raising the amount
necessary to erect the handsome church
structure recently completed, hopes to
have the parsonage linished before t.ie

funds for the erection of a church build-in-

but no funds with which to build it. Ho
