PASTORS DISAGREE
orwciN
Heppe Declares the Movement
Started by Brougher Is
Not Practicable Today.
LATTER EXPLAINS HIS PLAN
Baptist Clergyman Begins Series of
Sermons on " What Would .
Jesn Do?" Large Audi
ences Bear Sermons.
Is It possible to live today as Jesus
would? Dr. William H. Heppe, of the
Grace Methodist Church, answered the
question in the negative in his sermon
last night, while Dr. J. Whitcomb
Brougher. of the White Temple. Just
across the street from Grace Church, be
gan his series of sermons leading up to
an institution of the "Live as Jesus
Would" ' movement in Portland. Dr.
Heppe said yesterday that if he attempted
to live as Christ did, he would lose his
position at once. Asked for an example,
which might make his meaning clear, he
said that If he attempted to drive out
from his church with a whip of cords
those who make merchandise of It, the
pastorate would be declared vacant.
Several other Portland ministers preach
ed yesterday upon the "Live Like Jesus
movement. Among them were Dr. Clar
ence True Wilson, of Centenary Metho
dist Church, and Rev. J. F. Ghormley, of
the Central Christian Church. Both these
pastors declared themselves to be in
favor of the movement.
The series of sermons at the White
Temple began with a discourse yesterday
morning on 'The Mission of Christ." and
continued last night with one on "The
Spirit of Christ." Dr. Brougher explained
that It is his purpose to study the prin
ciples and teachings of Jesus, and his
actual conduct, to furnish a basis for
later sermons on "What Jesus Would Do
Today." "
Negative. Side of Cbrlst Iilfe.
In yesterday . morning's sermon. Dr.
Brougher first emphasized the negative
side of the Christ life. He said Christ
came not to condemn the1 world, not to
call the righteous, but sinners, to repent
ance, and not to be ministered to but to
minister. On the positive side, he said
that Christ came to preach good tidings
to the poor; that he went about doing
good, healing all that were oppressed of
the devil, that he came to save the lost,
and to give humanity a greater abund
ance of life.
He said, in part:
Christ was a young- man with a, purpose.
He ha called bis followers to a definite
purpose In life. Ths difference In men In
this world Is not so tnuoh a difference of
power as It la a difference in aim. and ths
condensation of ones talents shout that
aim Jesus, therefore, gave his disciples a
distinct llfo to live and mission to perform.
This Is no nsw truth, but like every great
truth, it needs to be emphasized again and
as1", that Its power in molding our char
acters end guiding our conduct may not be
waaksnsd by worldly circumstances. Be
fore we ca conclude what Jesus would do,
at the present time, we need to study more
carafully what Jesus did do and what be
cams to do. We will find the negative and
positive sides to his mission distinctly
stated.
First. Jesua declares: "God sent not his
Fon Into the world to condemn the world"
(John ltl:lT). In the second place. Jesus
declares: "I am not com to call ths rlght
eoua, but sinners to repent" (Mark 11:17).
Again. Jesus said: 'The Son of Man came
not to bs ministered onto, but to minister
and to give hie life a ransom for many."
Jesus taught his disciples "Whosoever shall
be first among you, shall be your servant."
While H Is true that Jesus did not come
te do some things, that Christians frequent
ly And It convenient to do, on the other
hand, be came to do a positive work tor
mankind. .
Preached to the Poor.
Ptrst. Jesus said he was anointed "to
preaab. good tidings to the poor; to pro
claim release to the captives; recovering of
sight to the blind; to set at liberty them
that are bruised, and to proclaim the ac
ceptable year of the Lord" (Luke lv:18-lu.
Second, Luke tells us "how God anointed
him with the Holy Spirit: and with power,
who went about doing good and healing all
that were oppressed of the devil, for God
was with him." The essential point of this
statement Is. that he "went about, healing
the sick and doing good." .He made his Ufa
one continuous benediction of health and
helpfulness.
In the third place. Jesus declares: "The
Son of Man came to seek and to save that
which was lost" (Luke xtx:10). Jesus
cams to seek the lost and save tbem. We
oftea forget this Most of us seem to think
our active duty Is done when we have built
a ehuroh and swung Its doors open and in
vited the lost to Cvine In by putting an an
nouncement or advertisement In the paper,
but Jesus went personally after the unsaved.
Again. Jesus declares. "I came that they
' might have life, and have It more abundantly-
(John x:10.
Last night Dr. Brougher took for
his text PhIL 11:5, "Have this mind In
you. which was also In Christ Jesus."
Among other things, he said:
Most Have Christ-Spirit.
Behind all action is the thought. Behind
Christ-conduct must be the Christ -mind or
spirit. If one desire to reproduce one of
Jkllchel Angelo's masterpieces, he must have
ths spirit and power of Michel Angrlo
looking through his eyes and controlling his
hand. If one Is to reproduce the character
of Jesus Christ he needs the spirit or mind
of Christ.
One of the characteristics of Christ is the
spirit of self-denial and self-sacrifice. Jesus
did not seek a great reputation for himself.
I doubt If bs once thought of his reputation.
This is the sticking point for most people.
We want a good reputation. If not a great
one. We hate to be depreciated or slandered
er lied about. We desire the good opinion
of our fellow-men. But Jesus Christ did not
seek to make himself of any reputation. He
nad no self-seeking and selfish ambition.
Before the Christian can successfully carry
out the lines of conduct that Christ would
pursue today, he must seek most earnestly
to have this spirit of self-denial and
sacrifice. .
Paul urges that we do nothing Through
strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind.
Art each esteem the other better than him
self." With this spirit a mighty transfor
mation would take place in the business
world. In society, and In the church. Most
individuals would be prompted by a different
motive than the one that moves them today.
There would not be a Christian with this
spirit who would not make his supreme pur
pose to speak, to sing, to art for ths glory
of Christ and the good of humanity.
Jesus "took upon himself the form of a
' servant." The early followers of Christ were
fond o calling themselves servants of Jesus
Christ. ' But In this modern age we have at
tached Sk certain stigma to the word "ser
vant" or "slave." We do not like the word.
It signifies a sort of dependence that the
natural man does not appreciate. But Jesus
said that ne was among men as one that
served. Most people want to be among men
as one who rules. When Jesus was on eartn
he had to rebuke this spirit among his dis
ciples, and It is this spirit today that pre
vents many Christians from being as helpful
to the world as they might be. In order to
Impress this thought upon his disciples,
jesua. en one occasion took a towel and
basin and washed the disciples' feet. We
need la the world today more of the Chris
tianity of ths towel and the basin and ths
feet. The spirit of perpetual helpfulness
and service was the spirit of Jesus Christ.
jesus "humbled himself and became obedi
ent unto death." Jesus sought to do the
Father's will under all conditions and cir
cumstances If a Christian has the spirit
of obedience he will have the soldier's spirit,
who receives his orders without question.
Those who have the spirit of Christ will not
consult their own desires or pleasures or
nro.pects They will not consult flesh nor
Jiod ho knowing the Masters will, "will
not reason why. but simply do or die." No
man can hope to approximate In the least
degree the character and oonduct of Jesus
Christ as he would be and act In the world
today, unless he has the spirit of self-sacrifice,
of service, of humility and obedience
With this spirit, when he knows what the
Master would do, he can nope to do the
same. In part If not in full.
MAX OAVVOT LITE LIRK JESUS
Dr. Heppe Say's) Mortals May Not
Follow In Steps of Divinity.
Taking as & text Jesus' admonition. "He
that hath two coats, let him Impart to
him that hath none: and he that bath
meat, let him do likewise," Dr. William
H. Heppe, of the Grace Methodist Church,
assailed the "Live Like Jesus" movement,
In his sermon last night. It is impossible
to live like Jesus today, he said. His
text is found in Luke 111:10-14. He also
quoted Acts xxil:10. The sermon. In part,
was as follows:
At present a movement known as The
Live as .'eaus Movement." has aroused con
slderabl i Interest In the church, and has
receive! considerable newspaper notoriety.
There Is nothing new about the movement
except the feature that it Is a spctnc ex
periment by Christian young people cover
ing a period of two brief weeks. There Is
nothing new In It for Methodism, or for
the young people of Methodism. It has been
the Ideal of Methodism from the beginning
of Its history.
I would not be understood as decrying or
discouraging anything or any movement
that looks to the realisation of higher and
better living. Let us face the question
squarely and ask. can we live today as
Jesus would? Is It possible In the midst
of our complex civilisation to live as Jesus
would? Are the conditions of our modern
world of such a character as to mako It
possible to live as Jesus would? Does Jesus'
plan of life comprehend living Just as Jesus
would? Will the Individual and will so
ciety come to Its grandest outflowerlng if we
could live Just as Jesus would? There are
a great many difficulties surrounding these
questions that need careful thought and con
sideration. Such a movement ought not to
be launched unless we are positive that we
can live today as Jesus would.
In the first place we must keep clearly
In mind who Jesus was. and the mission he
came to fulfill on earth. Jesus, the Christ,
was the Eon of God. He came clothed with
all the powers, prerogatives and authority
of a God. Though we should be willing to
admit that his coming into the flesh placed
upon him a measure of the limitations of
humanity, nevertheless, he lived, wrought,
thcueht. taught,, suffered, died and tri
umphed, as no man ever did before him,
or has done since his day.
Those who were his daily companions tell
us of his masterly power over the elements
of rature. over disease, death and evil spir
its and they tell us of his wonderful wis
dom. . ,
He was without sin. He lived a holy
life. He lived as a God. and as a God only
could live. His life was an absolutely pure
and finished product. He made no mistakes;
there were no errors In his Judgment; his
knowledge of things, events, and of men,
perfect: right and wrong were never en
veloped In twilight, but stood out on his
moral horizon like blazing suns: he saw
the relation and bearing and Influence that
v,ry thought, activity, decision and act
of conduct had upon human character, his
fellow-man, upon God and flnai destiny. No
cloud ever darkened his moral vision: no
power ever stifled the voice of his con
science; no evil ever fettered his powers;
no blight of sin ever fell acrcss his heart.
He never swerved from duty, never spoke
unkindly, no guile was found In his mouth,
evaded no responsibility, feared no man,
lived the whole law, lived In absolute faith
and in tinbrokon communion with his
Heavenly Father, and was obedient unto
death.
In a sentence, he wss the Perfect Man.
who lived the perfect life. Jesus never felt
this awful drag-weight of sin. this terrible
Impediment of a sinful nature and sinful
tendencies, that afflict every mother's son.
There was no taint of sin In his nature.
Jesus started life as a perfect being, as one
who knew no sin. His moral nature was at
Its best and highest. Jesus was man at his
best, purest, noblest, dlvlnest. He ran the
whole gamut of human experience, came in
contact with all classes, touched every-day
life at all its vital points, was tempered
In all points like as we are, hut in all these
relations he met the situation as the Per
fect Man. as the sinless man. the uncoil
quered man. the God-Man.
It must, therefore, be apparent that this
places Christ In a different class from the
common sons of men. He stood upon a
height where we cannot stand. He moves
upon a plane of life where no other man
has ever lived He looked out upon life
from a higher view-point; solved its prob
lems with a perfect knowledge; conquered
his environment with omnipotent power.
We cannot enter Into the experiences of
life as Jesus did- We know- nothing about
the experiences, the thought and heart
world of a Perfect Man, of a God-Man. It
is true Jesus was In closest touch and sym
pathy with every-day life, was touched with
the feeling of our Infirmities, but it was
from the plane of the Perfect Man, the Son
of God. We have no experiences on that
plane, we are Imperfect men. Men warped
by sin and evil prejudices; men who are
often in doubt as to what course to pur
sue; who seldom realize the full significance
of our acts; often commit sin, and are prone
to wander away from God and truth and
That makes all the difference In the
world with respect to the possibility of liv
ing today as Jesus would. We come up
to a problem of lite with a limited and
distorted vision; Jesus could see all around
and through his problems. We come Into
certain conditions and circumstances with
the bllfrht and ruin of sin and depravity
in our natures: Jesus oame with no such
handicap, no power In earth or In hell was
ever able to make him do other than that
which was pure and perfect. It cost him a
mighty struggle; he must have suffered more
than any human being would under similar
circumstance but he came out of the
tattle the unconquered stands today the
only unconauered of history.
How dare we llKhlly and thoughtlessly
assume that we can live as Jesus would,
even for two weeks! How dare we publicly
declare. In a spirit of self-confidence. "I
am living as Jesus would!"
When we become perfect men and women;
when we have a moral vision equal to that
of Christ: when we become absolutely un
slnned. and can add to our experiences the
experiences of a world where sin and sor
row are unknown, then we may hope under
all conditions and amid all the varied cir
cumstances of life to live as Jesus would.
But Christ to me is the mighty one to
help me live my own life. Paul said, "Lord.,
what shall I do?" Christ recognizes our
Individuality, never crushes or effaces it,
but purities, recenters and intensifies It.
Christ wants every man to live his own
life He asks no man to live his life over
again, or to live It as he lived It, He
knows that If we go to a wedding and the
wine gives out that we cannot turn water
Into wine; or. IX we are at sea and are
overtaken ly a storm that threatens to
ensulf us that we cannot calm the elements
by saying: "Peace, be still!" or. If we are
In the presence of a hungry multitude that
we cannot multiply five loaves and two fishes
that they shall feed thousands; or. If death
has removed one of our best friends during
our absence that wo cannot restore him by
emmandlng. "Lazarus, come forth!" The
Important question is not. "How would
Jesus live?" but, "How would Jesus have
jne live?"
"EW THOUGHT IS DISCUSSED
Fellowship Circle, at Regular Meet
ing, Delves Into Philosophy.
"What Is the New Thought?" was the
subject discussed last night by the Port
land Fellowship Circle, the president, Mrs.
Clara Benick Colby, Introducing tho sub
ject "The answer could be given in ten
words." said Mrs. Colby, using five of
these to state the proposition. "New
Thought Is the philosophy of recognising
man's essential divinity. In other words.
It Is a conception of unity as a practical
working philosophy. To say divinity of
man Is another form of speaking of the
Immanence of God and this Is found, mors
or leas. In all religions."
Mrs. Colby read extracts from the
teachings of Taoism, Shintolsm, Zoroas
ter. Buddha and tho sacred writing of
tho Vedas to prove this.
"Man. made in the Image of God, and
given dominion, which he has yet to
achieve by recognition; the command to
be perfect: to have in us the same mind
which was in Christ Jesus; to recog
nize the Christ within, the hope of glory;
and such passages as where Jesus says
of his disciples that they should do the
works that he did and greater; and that
rhapsody on man In the second chapter
of Hebrews: all these show that the rec
ognition of man's essential divinity is not
contrary to the spirit of Christianity. It
is summed tip in the passage, 'In him wo
live, and move and have our being,' " said
the speaker.

PLAN IS SUPPORTED
Ghormley Indorses Campaign
Begun by Brougher.
BELIEVES IN FREE ACTION
Pastor of Central Christian Church
Says Jesus, If on Earth Today,
Would Not Enforce Re
- liglon by Law.
In his sermon last- night at the Cen
tral Christian Church, East Twentieth
and East Salmon streets, Rev. 3. F.
Ghormley reviewed 'the movement In-

dorses Wbat Would Jeans

augurated by Dr. Brougher, his topic
being, To Live as Jesus Would." His
text was, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy
will be done In earth as It is in
heaven."
Dr. Ghormley declared that since
Rev. Mr. Sheldon wrote "In His Steps;
or What Would Jesus De?" various at
tempts had been made to organize
movements to put Into practical opera
tion this Utopian plan." Dr. Ghorm
ley said that these movements had
originated in the church, and had been
of value in leading whole communities
to higher planes of thought and action.
He said further that the principle In
volved was as old as Christianity it
self. Plea for Personal Lriberty.
Dr. Ghormley made a strong plea for
liberty of conscience In religious mat
ters, and said that If Jesus were on
earth today he would not undertake to
enforce his religion by law. He cited
the election of President-elect Taft as
an example of the freedom of thought
In this country in religious matters.
Continuing, Dr. Ghormley said in part:
Every reformation in the church was be
gun and carried on with the purpose of ex
pressing to the world that which Jesus
would do. This Is the supreme business
of the church today, what would Jesus do,
translated Into what ought we to do 7 be
comes a personal matter, to be decided by
each individual for himself. The disciple's
prayer is, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth as It is In heaven." As doing
depends upon knowing, the first Is to know
the will of the King, Oodward and man
ward. "We may not find at hand every duty
specified, but from the teachings and ex
amples of the Master we can gather suf
ficient data upon which to base our ac
tion in specific things.
The evils of American slavery were not
specified In the Declaration of Independence;
but the declaration, "We hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all men are cre
ated equal; that they are endowed by their
Creater with certain Inalienable rights: that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness," was sufficient finally to re
move from the map of our fair country this
foul blot. It seems that the retiring presi
dent of Harvard University, Dr. C. W.
Eliot, at a dinner given by a Unitarian club,
remarked, according to an Associated Press
dispatch: "That the striking success of tho
Unitarians did not rest upon mere assump
tion. We had in Massachusetts last Fall
the pleasure of helping to make a Uni
tarian President of the United States." He
then referred to the fact that during the
last election ministers of other denomina
tions sent out circular letters to their flocks,
asking this question: "Would you vote for
a man who denies the divinity of Christ?"
Dr. Eliot said: "By millions the voters of
America answered, 'We will,' and they did."
Must Select Beet Officials.
Human governments are temporal neces
sities and the glory of our Nation la that
It Is of the peaple. by the people, and for
the people, and that our laws and Institu
tions are largely the outgrowth of Chris
tianity. The christian finds himself not
only a member of Christ's church, but also
a member of a Republic, in which the citi
zen is the whole thing In theory at least.
He has within himself the legislative, the
Judiciary and the executive power. But
these powers must be delegated, by means
of our votea, to those who can best serve
In these various capacities. It Is a Chris
tian duty to select the best man for the
work to be accomplished, and in the elec
tion of Mr. Tait as the executive of this
Nation, was not a Unitarian triumph, but
by millions of voters thought to be the
fittest man for the place. Make the divinity
of the Christ the Issue and If Mr. Taft denies
his divinity, make him the Unitarian can
didate, then ask a Christian nation what It
will do.
Just now the question Is being asked lo
cally: "Would Jesus enforce his religion by
law 7" Tho Christ himself, and every well
informed disciple of his will answer, "No!"
This Is a country In which each one can
worship or not worship, as he pleases. The
very genius of Christianity is found In the
method of Its propagation. "And I, if I
be lifted up, .1 will draw all men unto me."
But as Christian lawmakers of Oregon, we
have the right to say. and ought to say.
that certain things shall not be done on the
Lord's day. As a church, or churches, wo
are not saying this. It Is, not for the protec
tion of the church, nor Its upbuilding. Is
certain legislation asked; but for the pro
tection of the state Itself, for the protec
tion of the borne.
. Position on Sunday Laws.
We r Informed by a recent writer In
our city press hat the petition, "Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done In earth as It
Is In heaven," was addressed "to our
Father, Instead of legislative assemblies or
civil magistrates." Yes, but It was for
something to come, and for something to be
done on earth as it is In heaven. The same
writer seta comfort from a half text of
'Scripture: "My kingdom is not of this
world." He ought to have quoted the re
mainder of the statement of Jesus, which
Is: "If my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants fight that I should
not be delivered to the Jews; but now is
my kingdom not from hence." "Jesus an
swered. "Thou sayest I am a King. To this
end was I born. .and for thla cause came I
Into the world, that I should bear witness
umo the truth." The truth that shall cover
the whole earth as the waters - cover the sea.
For thla prayer will be answered "when
the kingdoms of this world shall become the
kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ."
The christian man wants the civil law to
secure to him his right to worship, without
molestation. Must he sit supinely by. while
for gain, the Sunday games and plays drag
his children Into the vortex of ruin, and so
poison their minds that the taste for higher
things la destroyed? Must the laboring
man still submit to being bound to Sunday

SPEAKS ON NEW CHARTER
DR. CHAPMAN SHOWS WHERE
IT IS IMPROVEMENT.
Doing Away With Veto and Intro
duction of Recall Commended
at People's Forum Meeting.
Dr. C. H. Chapman, member of the
City Charter Commission, was the
principal speaker last nlg-ht at a meet
ing of the People's Forum. Dr. Chap
man was invited to speak to the mem
bers of the Forum on the important
changes in the purposed new charter,
and told of t,he proposed amendment
and of others which he had endeav
ored in vain to have incorporated into
the charter.
Among the many changes that will
come into effect, provided the charter
is adopted by the people. Dr. Chapman
dwelt upon the passing of the veto
power lnvesced in the Mayor, the
method of electing" the Mayor and the
six Councilmen, the recall and the ini
tiative and referendum. Dr. Chapman
had some things to say of the misuse
of the veto power, not only in munici
pal matters, but said if he could have
it his way the veto power would bo
taken away from the President, and
especially the courts.
"I consider the nullifying of the veto
one of the most important changes in
the charter." said Dr. Chapman. "It
Is vicious and Is a relic of medieval
power, when kings could say, if any
thing did not suit them, 'I am the
state ' Under the new charter che
ward' system of petty politics and petty
bosses wlU be a thing of the past.
There will be the primary election, and
at this election there will be 13 candi
dates for Councilmen and two for
Mayor. The one receiving the hign-

claimed a well-known authority. The
numerous cases of kidney and bladder
diseases and rheumatism are mainly
due to the faot that the drinking of
water, nature's greatest medicine, has
been neglected.
Stop loading your system with medi
cines and oure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why of course, take the proper medi

est number of voces for Mayor will be
the candidate at the regular election
and six of the 12 candidates for Coun
cilmen receiving the largest number
of votes will be placed upon the bal
lot. Another important step Is that
the ballot will not carry any party
designation.
"We have also provided for the re
call, a thing which "William Allen
White calls 'A double-barreled terror to
the bosses.' I am heartily in favor
of the recall. I would like to have
it adopted all over the country. I
would like to see it used agalnsc such
Senators as Aldrlch and a number of
the men who are In the House of Rep
resentatives. It should be used against
all useless people, and if I had an
oportunlty I would sign a recall against
a useless member of Congress from
Oregon.' I mean Congressman Ellis. He
is the most useless man ever sent from
this state. The recall is a great
power, for it places the acts of the
divinely appointed into the hands of
the people.
"While the new charter will be a
vast improvement over the old one, it Is
still, in my opinion, very weak in
many things. It is weak on municipal
ownership. I am very strongly in fa
vor of municipal ownership of public
utilities, and I tried hard to get a
couple of provisions into the new char
ter. I tried to give to the Council
and the Mayor the power to regulate
the price of heat and lighting and
regulate streetcar fare. Both provi
sions were defeated.
"Tho Charter Commission, with but
few exceptions, is a splendid body of
men. With these exceptions they are
working to give the people the best
oharter they know how. It is impos
sible to get together such a body with
out having one or more men who are
guarding the interests of the corpora
tions. It was these men who became
panic-stricken when I purposed to
have the Council fix the price of light
ing, and also to have the city buy
a public utility franchise when its
term had expired, and to abolish grade
crossings by compelling the railroads
to enter the city on viaducts."
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Barsaparilla, three ounces. Mix 'by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoon fui dooes after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the water.
Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim
ple prescription should be posted up in
each household and used at the first
Bign of an attack of rheumatism, back
ache or urinary trouble, no matter how
slight.
