l'aslor of White Temple Preaches on
Life In Eastern Cities Condemn
Frenzied Rush for Wealth
and Pleasure - Seeking.
lVr. 3. Whitcomb Brougher announced
to th members of his congregation at the
White Temple last night that he will be
gin two series of sermons next Sunday on
-What Jesus Did." and "What Jesus
Would Do." Within a few weeks he In
tends to call upon church members and
all others who are willing to do so to
Join him In attempting to live as Jesus
would. Dr. Brougher said that the new
movement Is not an effort to restore the
customs of ancient Pzlestine. but simply
to bring Christians to aslc before making
derisions. "What would Jesus do?"
"My idea Is not to restore life as It was
In the early days of Christianity." said
Dr. Brougher. "but to make more effec
tive the teachings and principles of Christ
In dailv life. Personally, I don't think
Jesus Christ. If In the world today, would
dress as he did at the time he lived. Ho
would live a sinless life, which would
be effective in carrying out his mission.
My Idea la embodied In Sheldon's "In His
Steps," w hich came out In 1SS7."
Dr. Brougher has Just returned from a
trip to Chicago, Cleveland. O.. New York
and Boston. In the Interest of the North
ern Baptist Convention, which is to meet
In Portland, June 25. He says that while
an effort is being made to send loOO lay
men here from the East, he has been as
sured "by Hon. Francis Parker, of Chi
cago, member of the Baptist Brotherhood,
that at least . that number will attend
from the Windy City. During his stay In
the East. Dr. Brougher addressed the
congregation of Tremont Temple. Boston,
and the New York Preachers- Conference.
"Lovers Inseparable" was Dr. Brough
er's sermon topic at the White Temple
yesterday morning. The attendance was
large. At last night's meeting three new
members were baptised. The subject last
night was "Seeing Life In Four Great
Cities." The pastor's text was Luke xlx:
41-44. which tells of Christ weeping over
Jerusalem. He said. In part:
The cities of a e-mntry are Its nerve
renters. The history of the cities of the
world would largely give us the history of
the world. The word c!tr orcurs 202 times
In the Bible. You will tint! that Jesus did
much of his work In Jerusalem, the real
renter of the life of I'alrstine. We read
that n drew nigh to the City of Jerusalem
and wept over It. There came over him the
realisation of the wickedness, the wretch
edness and the final doom of that great
city. The people were unmindful of his
presence or his power to change the con
ditions of th.lr Uvea I have Jurt vlsjted
briefly four or five itreat cities in the ti'"t-
Tbm cities sre the center of life In "he
states wherein they are loi-ated. While they
lr.ar vary somewhat In characteristics, yet
underneath all there Is a similarity of life
that Involves the entire population. It Is
not my purpose to take each city sep
arately and define Its peculiar character
istics, but merely to notice three or four
of the main features thai are common,
more or less, to all. To study city life
In Its attitude to Jesus Christ Is a wonder
fully Interesting problem. To look upon a
city with the same eyes, for the same pur
pose and actuated by the same motive as
Jesus Christ, would Interpret to us his
sorrow over the City of Jerusalem. Jesua
came to transform the cities and to make
out of them the Holy City that should be
like thst final Holy City which John saw
coming down out of heaven. If we are to
have such a city as that, there are three
or four thine that we must emphasise that
Jesus emphasised.
Dollar Mark Orer All.
la every one of these great cities we be
hold the mad rush Mr the almighty dollar.
And what a tremendous power money Is,
anyhow! As we behold the mighty office
buildings that are erected In all these great
rltlM. and think of the tremendous amount
of business that Is done. It Is simply over
whelming. That reminds me of the Irishman, who
said, when asked what he thought of the
skvscraper: "Oh, that's nothing. We
build them so high over In Ireland that we
have to put hinges on Ahem."
"What's that for." he was asked.
"That's so we can let them tlown to let
the moon go past."
A young man who formerly lived In Port
land took me out for an automobile ride
and explained the business motto. "Get
there first." And as pedestrians dodged
out of the way of the machine, I could not
help but fel thst the rush for the al
mighty dollar was carried on with auto
matic rapidity.
Philadelphia has a reputation for being
slow. et this great city stands among the
foremost In all lines of commercial pro
gress and prosperity. A man from Phila
delphia visited Koston. He complained
about the crooked, narrow streets of Eos
ton and finally asked. "Why wasn't Boston
properly laid out V The I!ostonian retort
ed. "When Boston Is ss dead as Philadel
phia. It will be properly laid out." But In
all these great cities there Is a mad rush
for wealth. The rich seeking to get richer,
while the poor are battling for bread, and
many times eking out a mere existence.
Now. Jesus Christ did not condemn money.
He knew Its power end Its worth to relieve
poverty and suffering, but he did leach
that character Is worth more than cash,
and If you can have b-.-.t one. have a
Chrlstllke character.
. Character Counts. 'ot Pleasure.
Jesus Christ was no ascetic. He did not
retire completely from the enjoyments of
life and condemn all pleasure. lils appre
ciation of the Illy showed his sense of
beauty. His presence at the wedd.ng feast
and the turning of water Into wine showed
his sympathy with the festive sentiment.
He ate with the rich Pharisees and took
advantage of the social Intercourse to
preach the kingdom of God. While Jesus
did not condemn pleasure, he did condemn
making It the first and chief object of life.
Oh the hundreds of thousands In these
great cities who make pleasure the be-all
and end-all of their existence! The
pleasure-seeking spirit eeems to control
them absolutely. Theater and dance and
card-table and social function follow each
oih.r In a dlssy whirl, and life has no seri
ous reality to them. What shall I wearT
What shall I eat? and what shall I drink T
make up the questions of life to them but
It Is Impossible to be supremely happy and
enjoy life Indulging In sinful pleasures.
Happiness depends upon a clear eonsclenca
and a pure character.
In our cities there Is every possible means
for gratifying the destre for pl.-asure, bu: In
the last analysis the longing of the human
soul for something higher and better Its
longing for pleasure, and Its expectancy of
a future life can only be satisfied by Jesus
Christ. He alone can meet the needs of
the great multitude of people gathered to
gether In our great cities. As Jesus Christ
had compassion on the multitude along the
shores of Galilee and satisfied their hunger,
so must the church today take this same
Christ to the multitudes of our cities and
let him bring to them forgiveness of stn
and peace and aatlsactlon of soul. Christ
alone can transform our cities and make
them what they ought to be. He will do
It through the Christians of these cities,
living as he would bave them live and doing
what he would bave them do.
DISCO XTKNT HIS DOCTRIXK
Rev. Mr. Lapham Preaches Against
Self-Sattrf action.
"Happy la the man who Is discontented,
nappy Is the man who Is dissatisfied, but
who la aver looking; forward to something
better beyond; and the most uncomfort
able person la the Christian; the finished
man baa no real place In the world," eaid
Kev. S. C. Lapham, at the Second Baptist
Church, East Seventh and East Ankeny
streets, yesterday morning. In his sermon
on "The Law of Life." Dr. Lapham de
clared that the glow of discontent was the
pur and mainspring of progress In all
things, and the finished man, the man
who waa satisfied, could make no further
progress. He said:
The glow of discontent and dissatisfaction
In all things Is a natural condition in -a"
relations of life and especially In the Chris
tian's life. I once saw an eagle, a majestio
bird. In a cage. He was discontented. His
natural sphere was up among the stars, ooa
made man to soar. I once looked upon 200
convicts marching with the deadly lock-step
Their faces were sad. and they were dis
contented. They were made to be free ana
full of self-control. No human being who
d-slres to go forward was ever contented
with his condition. He looks forward and
upward. In the world there is constant
feverlahness satisfaction never. There could
be no progress with ambition extinct, or
sat'ated. , .
The key to all human progress is discon
tentment dissatisfaction. The satisfied man
Is alreadv over the dead line. Satisfaction
PASTOR WILL OBCA5HE BA5B
wn urit as irsrn ufll'I.D. T
Is the beginning of old age. The mosl
humiliating spectacle Is the finished . man,
the man who has renched his limitations,
and reached the end of his ambition.
Men of action are never contented with
the accomplishments of the present. A few
years ago we had the stage coach. Now we
have the swiftly moving trsln. Presently we
shall fly through the air. Happy Is the man
with a thirst for better things, and who l.
never contented with present things. Jemuw
Christ gives encouragement for the helpless
and discouraged man. He points him upward
and onward. The most uncomfortable per
son is a Christian. There are higher Ideals
Just bevond for him to reach for. and then
more still beyond the first. There Is only
the peace of progress, not the peace of In
activity, that Jesus Christ teaches, and
holds good In all human relation.
CHINESE NATION AROUSED
MISSIONARY TEILS OF ITS
GREAT FUTURE.
YV.th Benents of Christianity, Yel
low Race Is Said to Be One
of Great Promise.
Rev. George W. Hlnman. of Foochow.
China, special missionary of the First
Congregational Church, spoke yesterday
morning at that churcn on the wonderful
past and greater present and future of
China. He haa been ten years In that
Kmplre. having begun his work before
the Boxer outbreak, and has seen all the
changes of these years, from the time of
the first premature reform edicts in the
Spring of "9S, through the cataclysm of
the Boxer rebellion, to the steady educa
tional development which Is now filling
the great bulk of the Chinese Empire
with strong National vitality.
Mr. Hinman referred to the great move
ment In Japan. China. India and Turkey
as Indicating a real renaissance of Asia
Study of the past htotory of China, he
said, shows tne unique position she has
maintained as the teacher of all the
Eastern world, and even of Europe, not
many hundred years ago. She has never
been enriched and demoralized by the
plunder of enslaved people, he said, but
haa maintained herself through the
honest, hard work of her farmers, her
merchants and her scholars. Mr. Hin
man continued, as follows:
The moral teachings of Confucius, which
have been the religion of China, lack only
one thing to make them complete, and that
Is the spiritual teaching which shall give to
the moral Ideals of human society, which
they so well express.
China Is In bondage to her past. -The feet
of the women are bound, causing them a
lifetime of agony, and this cramps all their
mental and spiritual power. Vast numbers
of the Chinese are bound by the appetite
for opium, which kills every feeling of
moral obligation. The bondage of the spirit
of fesr, m-hlch lies at the root of every non
Christian religion, shows In tbelr worship of
the spirits of ancestors, the spirits of the
earth, the air and the water, as well as In
the worship of the Idols of Buddhism
and Taoism. " They have never rest
ed content with a system of pure morals,
as no nation ever has. but 2O0O years ag
sent Into India to invite Buddhist mission
aries to teach them the way of salvation.
Now China realises her bondage, and the
students In the new schools throughout the
empire are demanding that the bonds or
custom, of appetite and of fear shall be
.broken, and that China shall be educated,
and hence free and strong. No one ac
quainted with her past history will fear a
strong, free China, but rather will hope
much from It for the benefit of the world.
Already the antl-footblndlng movement
haa been taken over entirely by the Chines,
merchants and msjidarlns themselves, who
have organised for this purpose the "Heav
enly Foot Society." The antl-oplum decrees
are being enforced with much success In all
parts of China, but especially In those places
where the education of public sentiment
has been most thorough. And those places.
It Is noticeable, are where the work of
missionaries, through hospitals, schools and
chapels and the company of Chinese trained
In them, has been most firmly established.
Officials are even prohibiting the waste of
money In Idol processions. Jive provinces of
China are now free from opium raising, and
the use of the drug In China has fallen off
more than one-third.
lany prominent statesmen of China ac
knowledge thst the new reform spirit haa
been awakened by the teachings of the
mlsslonsrles. and the Chinese trained by
study In mission schools and experience In
mission work are eagerly sought as leaders
In the great public enterprise for the en
lightenment and reform of Chlna.
The number of Christiana In China has
grown amazingly In the last few years,
doubling every seven years srnce 18S7. and
since 13.000 of them suffered martyrdom
for their faith at the hands of the Boxers
no one has dared to call them "rice Chris
tians." The new Chinese Christian church Is
likely to teach us lessons of the simplicity
of the Gospel and the foolishness of de
nominational distinctions.
The opportunity of the missionary, ef the
Christian Church, especially of the Ameri
can Nation. Is to give to China the educa
tion she is so earnestly seeking, a complete
education which will give her life and
strength, since it will Include the knowl
edge of God and Jeeus Christ, which la
eternal life. The mission schools are a
very Yukon of opportunity and Investment
of monev and thought and life In them
will yield In the next few years Immense
spiritual returns.
We shall' not Christianise China through
foreign missionaries. Ws shall not go on
always sending missionaries to China. We
must send strong men now. who shall plant
the ideals of Christlsn civilisation so firmly
In the minds of the student classes, the
leaders and makers ef new China, that the
whole history of the old-new empire will
be mouiued according to these Ideals.

CRITICISES DR.POHLM
Lax System in Health Office,
Says Physician.
QUARANTINE NOT ENFORCED
Dr. John Madden Cites SeTeral
Instances In Which Proper Pre
cautions Were Xot Taken
Against Spread of Disease.
PORTLAND. Jan. 22. (To the Editor.)
Our lady health officer, whom JIayor
Lane's apotheosis of all womankind has
placed at the head of the city's Health
Department, makes a vehement defense
of the work being done by herslf and her
associates In office and an equally- vehe
ment disparagement of the work done by
her predecessor, as reported In this morn
ing's Oregonian,
Dr. Pohl Is particularly emphatic upon
tho subject of the efficiency with which
the city's quarantine regulations are en
forced under her administration of the
city's Health Department. She has dis
puted The Orcgontan's statement that the
low mortality of the city during the past
year was due to the eplendld climate- of
Oregon, declaring that credit should be
given solely to her department, and thus
the two doctors disagree.
Report Lost in Office.
In spite of Dr. Pohl's declarations It
would eeem that there is still room for
Improvement in the matter of enforcing
the quarantine ordinances. A few month
ago I reported a caee of chlckenpox, and
In due season the mother of the child
went to the Health Office to get permis
sion to have her boy resume his work In
school. Dr. Pohl remarked that "here
was another case of chlckenpox that never
was reported." The mother assured her
that It had been reported, for she had
seen the boy'a physician write the report
Search was then made and the report
found. It had evidently got lost In the
shuffle. The house had not been quar
antined, nor any sort of warning put out
to Inform the public that the deadly dis
ease, chlckenpox. afflicted the family
within, in accordance with the city's or
dinance for such case made and pro
vided. On the 2Dth of last month, I reported a
cane of scarletlna In a house a few blocks
east of the Morrison-street bridge, on the
East Side, mailing the report in a box
near the Chamber of Commerce at noon
on Wednesday. I visited my patient the
next day a little after noon, but found no
warning red flag. The lady of the house
answered my question by saying that she
had heard nothing from the Health De
partment, when I asked her about the
matter. I then telephoned the Health
Office, asking whether my report of the
case had not been recelvd. A woman an
swered that It had not been received. I
protested that I hnd mailed It more than
34 hours before, and ahe said she would
see. She saw. and replied that she had
found It, that It had come In the morn
ing's mail, and that the matter of quar
antining wovsld be attended to at once.
The next day I again vlelted my pa
tient, and the lady of the house Informed
me that she had been quaantlned by mall;
she had received a letter from the Health
Department telling her that ehe was quar
antined, and that she should put out a
red flag. She was a bit shy on red bunt
ing, also red flannel (because of Oregon's
splendid climate), and didn't even have a
bit of "turkey red" cotton. She did the
beat she could: ehe found a bit of red
cloth about two Inches square, such as a
sparrow might have dropped, In gathering
material for a nest, which she tacked to
a stick, and nailed the stick to one of the
veranda posts. Whether any one who saw
this bit of red rag understood that It
meant that scarletlna existed within. Is
a psychologic problem for those Interested
In things of the kind. The mother of the
patient conscientiously remained indoors
until after the child had recovered, and
the house had been fumigated, but others
went and came.
Proper Flags Xot Supplied.
It would seem that the efflcency of the
quarantine. In this particular caee. would
have been enhanced If the city had had a
supply of red flaga, or a single red flag,
and had sent some sort of police officer
to see that It was put up In a place where
It could be readily seen, and had sent the
officer out as soon as the report had been
received. Moreover, It would seem to be
a proper suggestion that the Initiates of
the quarantined house should receive
verbal instructions as to the proper ob
servance of the quarantine regulations,
because there are some who cannot read
and others who may have mislaid their
glasses. Furthermore, It Is against the
Constitution -of the United States to ask
any citizen - to furnish material for the
construction of a quarantine flag free.
Inasmuch as the wise old fellows who
made the Constitution declared therein
that no private property should be taken
for public use without Just compensation
therefor.
Scarletlna Is contagious until the period
of dlsquamatton is passed. This means
until the patient has stopped "peeling."
as the outer layer of skin Is cast off dur
ing the patient's convalescence. The time
required for this varies with the Intensity
of the Inflammation of the skin, from ten
days to three weeks, or more. I reported
to the Health Department when this case
had finished peeling, but it was five days
after my report waa sent In before any
one waa sent to fumigate the house and
lift the quarantine. This unnecessary pro
longation of the quarantine period would
have been a hardship to these people. If a
quarantine had been established.
There Is still another case Illustrating
the enforcement of the city quarantine
regulations. A child had the scarletlna
a few months ago. and the house was
quarantined, a red flag being displayed
conspicuously. This so frightened the
butcher and grocery boys of the neighbor
hood that the Inhabitants of the house,
not having a telephone, were put to 1t to
get anything to eat. Soon after the quar
antine' had been lifted for the child, the
mother waa taken with the same disease.
The father naturally protested affalnst a
second quarantine period, declaring that
his experience had prejudiced him against
the red flag. He wrote to this effect, to
the dry health offloer. declaring that he
could be Just as careful not to spread the
disease without the flag as with It. He
received "a very nice letter" from that
source telling him that he need not have
the offensive red rag put out. If he would
'."be very careful." So the flag wae not
put out. He was very careful, because he
was a conscientious man; but suppose he
hadn't been? Besides, yon know, we are
discussing the efflcency of the quarantine.
Woman (God bleee her!) is a senti
mental and emotional critter. Bhe Is a
great success as a homemaker and home
keeper; she Is less of a success as a
chief of police, and there are those who
think that the performance of any sort
of Important police duties should not bo
given Into her hands. You recall what
the celebrated Dr. Johnson said about the
woman preacher: "A woman's preaching
is like a dog standing on Its hind legs.
It Is not that he ever does It well, but
you are surprised that he Is able to do It
at all." JOHN MADDEN, M. D.

DOOM OF MONEY-GETTERS
Striking Sermon on Home-coming
Portrayed In Psalms With Ap
plication to Conditions of
Modern Idle.
"The home-coining: of his poor, starved
soul will be to some dark vault In the
rorner of God's universe, where the
time-lock will be set for the day after
eternity, and he will be locked In
with his 'gold. gold, gold.'" With this
striking sentence Dr. William Hiram
Foulkes, In his sermon last night, de-.
scribed the frenzied business man. It
was the first sermon he has preached
since he returned from Southern Cali
fornia. His text was Psalms xxlll:6.
"And my home-coming will be the
house of the Lord forever." A portion
of the sermon follows:
-j,at a, suggestlve phrase! Home-coming;
to the Lord s house forever! Tho dry-as-dust
theological critic may not like the
way this familiar text Is pararased to
night: what do ws care? It rings true to
human heart cries; It chords with the hap
piest experiences of life. It opens up the.
tear ducts In your eyelids, you blase men
and women of the world maybe to tell
you what you have lost; It lures you. oh
you young men and women, to whom Port
land is only a port of pilgrimage, some
where else your home. Ah. all the woria
that has r.ot forgotten home. Is forever a
home-coming.
No this Is not universallsm. I did not
say all the world was home-coming to ths
Lord's hoooe. There Is a great multitude
in a broad way that will never, never lead
to the Father's house. Yet. even this care
less godless throng knows what home
coming means, because most of them know
what home-leaving means. God pity ths
boy who turns his back on his father's bom
without at least setting his heart toward
one of his own. Ood forgivs the girl who
leaves ths Bra on ths hearthstone of her
mother's horns without kindling ths sacred
flame on the altar of her own.
Here Is an amiable-looking young man,
sleek and smooth. His face exudes ths oil
of sensuous happiness. "Where are you
s-olnc sir?" "To the dance, or the wins
oaxty to the eminently respectable cafe. In
company with the jolliest crowd you ever
came across!" "Ah. sir. I am not under
stood. What is your final destination?
Whither is your home-coming 7 Ana ns
will say: "If the fellow Isn't preaching at
me' The nerve of the man! Well, my in
quisitive friend. I have no other destina
tion at present than Sherry's, or Delmon
lco?s. or the Bon Ton. and I must bs off.
o au revrir!" And he goes on his way to
his destination, he who in the scathing lsn
Siiage of the word of God. has "his belly
fo- his god." his glory for. his shame.
Stoi.' that portly, prosperous-looking gen
tleman, who seems to be making rapid
progress somewhere. "My dear sir. whither
bound?" "Out of the way. Intruder! Can
you not see that I am on the way to my
money-bags? Did you not know Uiat X
T Z was up or down, that common ajia
preferred had risen or slumped? Begone,
and let me pass!"

And he will say: "If the fellow ljn t a

some daj. with a lot of others, and I ex

on a run. and the home-coming of his poor,
starved soul will be to some dark vault in
the oorner of Gods universe, where the
time-lock win be set for the day "Iter

Will Appear Before Ojmmittee.
Dr. Esther C. Pohl, City Health Officer,
will appear before the ways and means
committee of the City Council today and
submit a request that they deny the
statements attributed to her criticising
the manner In which her predecessor. Dr.
Wheeler, conducted the office. Dr. Pohl
declares she made no such statements as
were attributed to her, explaining that
those who heard her must have mlsunder
jtood her. Members of the ways and
means committee heard her statements,
she says, and they did not wrongly inter
pret them. She will accordingly ask them
to aid her in denying the severe criti
cism upon Dr. Wheeler with which she
was credited. "I couldn't have criticised
Dr Wheeler, as I was charged with do
ing." she eaid, "for I would have been
criticising myself. I was on the board
then myself, and any criticism of Dr.
Wheeler and the manner In which he con
ducted his office would have been a criti
cism of myself."

"Nothing so good for" them as H-O, the
oatmeal that is cooked in steam for
three hours, then rolled and toasted as
different from ordinary " rolled oats as
raw corn meal is different from bread
pudding. It costs a little more than the
common "rolled oats" of commerce, but
you'll willingly pay the price when you
see how the youngsters thrive on it. Ask
your grocer for H-O.
