Growth of Missionary Move- -r-ment
and Present Outlook.
The cause of missionary -work In Corea
was presented yesterday In seven Presby
terian churches of Portland by members
of a party of lecturers, -writers and
scholars who have resided In. Corea for
many years and have been closely iden
tified with the educational and religious
life of that country.
Dr. Horace G. Underwood, an authority
on matters relating to Corea, spoke at
the First Presbyterian Church yesterday
(morning and at Westminster and Hawthorne-
Park churches last night, where
lie gave a thoughtful presentation of
the conditions obtaining in Corea and
the character of the people and their
needs. Dr. O. TL Avison spoke yesterday
morning at the Third Presbyterian
Church and the Mizpah Presbvterian
Church. Kev. K. F. Hall occupied the
pulpit In Sellwood Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning and conducted union
services last night in the First Church,
at Twelfth and Alder streets. Mrs. H.
O. Underwood, a writer on subjects deal
ing with Corea, and formerly physician
to the late Empress, addressed a meet
ing yesterday afternoon In the T. W.
. A. Her discourse was devoted to
a review of her experiences in Corea
and the position of women there. Owlnsj
to the fact that Professor Hulbert was
unable to arrive with the other members
of the party the addresses which were
to have been given by him were delivered
by Dr. Underwood and Dr. Avison.
Growth of Work In Corea.
In the course of his remarks yesterday
In the First Presbyterian Chruch, Dr.
I'nderwood pointed out that mission work
in Corea began in 1SS1; tlio .first com
munion service in 1SS7. with but seven
Christians present. Lat year, 20 years
later, there were 757 Freebyterlan
churches, with a membership of 75,000
Christians. While in the early days of
the missions there was strong hostility
toward the introduction of Christianity,
Dr. Underwood said that the Coreans
now readily accept the Gospels and are
most anxious to acquire a knowledge
of the same.
At the union services last night in the
First Presbyterian Church liev. E. F.
Hall, a member or the party of Corean
missionaries, spoke on the work In that
country. The speaker's opinion of the
future of Christianity In Corea was most
hopeful. The rapid advance In educa
tional lines, as the result of the missions,
was also shown to be gratifying.
Beginning of Mi.ssion "Work.
In speaking of the beginnings of 'the
missionary effort In Corea, Mr. Hall
6ald:
When rw. Horace X. Allen, an American
physician, went to Corea in 1S84. that land
beitan a new era. Two years before tha
t nited States had made the tirst treaty with
Corea which was granted to western na
tions, and the ports began to open. Until
that time foreisnera were excluded from
that "Hermit Klnsdom," and a decree of
death bad been passed by the government
on all -who should daro to enter the coun
try. For safety. Dr. Allen became physi
cian to the American Consul, although he
went there to do missionary .work He
Kained the favor of the Emperor by success
xuly treating a prince, and the Emperor
provided money for a. hospital, or which Dr.
Allen took charge.
The Coreans are a grateful peopie an(j
realized that Dr. Allen and other mission
aries who came later were there to help
, them, not to do them harm. In spite of
their hostility to foreigners 25 years ago,
they have never tried to take the life of an
American missionary, business man or dip
lomat. Corea regards America as her best
friend.
The Coreans are rapidly putting away
their old superstitions, and are accepting
Christianity. They seem to have boon made
ready for the Christian religion. If the
present progress of the church there con
tinues. Corea will be a. Christian nation in
another years.
People Ask for Missions.
Cores. Is a wide-open country for mission
ary effort, and the Coreans are imploring
the church in America to send out enougn
people to teach them how to become a
christian nation. Twenty-five years ago
there were no churches; now there are
?5not.1WJ-,"evera,1 ot them Beang from
1000 to loOO people, and all are tilled to
overflowing. A church In Pycng Yang
which accommodates 1500 worshipers has
become so crowded that the people meet in
sections, the men and women worshiping
separately, and filling the church at each
service. The same is true of many other
churches. The churches are Increasing at
the rate of several hundred each year, and
during the past few years the number of
Christian has multiplied by about SO 000
every 12 months. w
Besides supporting all of their churches
and building their church buildings the
torean churches are supporting several' hun
dred schools of various grades and scores of
native evangelists. The work is developing
so rapidly that the missionaries are over
burdened with the training of native lead-
ChrisSnm'e'tur " ea""
nation in history has shown such a
rapid change to Christianity, and the char
acteristics of the church are such in their
evangelizing work and giving money to sun
port it that their religious change is genu
ine, ana not for some false purpose.
SATS GOD IS JfEAR MAX
Pastor Believes Tht Relationship
Is Close.
Rev. Alexander Blackburn, r. D., form
erly pastor of the White Temple and
now pastor of the First Baptist Church,
of Baker City, occupied Dr. Brougher's
pulpit yesterday in the "White Temple
speaking on the subject, "God With Us."
The discourse was Intended to convey
the character of the relation between
man and God. He said:
There la a peculiar personal presence of
God that comes to those who recognize
him. During all the day we are in the
sunlight, but not always In the sunshine.
"W e do not iee the face of the sun because
of clouds, or it may be because we are in
the shadow of soma building or tree or hill
When God had a difficult task for one of
his servants to perform he assured him of
his personal presence. When Moses saw
what I believe was an electric effect be
yond any present discovery, a wireless light
-with green brandies instead of carbons,
the bush that burned and was not con
sumed. God told him to lead hie people
out of Egypt. Moses felt that he could
not do It. The assurance came "Certainly
1 will be with thee." Jesus set his disci
ples to do a harder task. To make disci
ples among all nations how could they do
it! They had splendid zeal, they had strong
faith, they had enjoyed three years of train
ing with Jesus, but that was not enough;
If this were all. they must fall. Jesus
knew this; therefore he gave them their
richest asset, "I am with you alwav." This
was the one possession that would enable
them to do their work. a personal pres
ence was promised that was as real to them
as the presence of the dearest friend Is to
you and to me.
Jesus Is with his people as the teacher Is
with his pupils. He called himself Master
or Teacher, and his followers disciples I
am sorry we have lost the worl disciple
so generally. The greatest factor in edu
cation is the man. the teacher, it -was said
of that prince of teachers, Mark Hopkins.
Put Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and
a. boy on tha other and you bar. a. college."
In our perplexities and Ignorance Jesus is
us as teacner.
He is with us as the shepherd Is with the
sheep to lead into green pastures and be
side still waters, to bring us back when we
wander, to comfort In trials, to-, defend from
enemies.
He Is with ns as the master builder i
with his workmen. We are building our
own characters, wo are building the king
dom of God. Only the Master knows tha
specifications of the building or Is able to
command the machinery to put each stone
Into its place.
He is with us as the captain Is with the
soldier, the general that stands as General
George H. Thomas, that magnificent South
erner, stood at Chickamaugua, is the
strength of the army. In this battle with
the saloon and tha grafter and the liber
tine, Jesus is with us on the battle line.
He Is with us as the parent is with the
child. Days come to all of us when we
long for the touch of the hand of father.
Isaiah calls the child born, "the Everlasting
father." This relation of Jesus to his
people is too often overlooked. When we
long for the home relationship of father or
mother, we can and in him our soul's satis
faction. He Is with us as friend. I have saved
this to the last, because I believe that the
word friend expresses the most important
of all relations between human hearts.
Friendship has no limit. Any human being
on the earth may bo our friend, and he
may die for n. Get thnae conception of
tfte meaning of Jesus last words, "Lo, I
am with you always. " anrl you will be
stronger for the battle of iif,

BEXSOX IS GOVERNOR.
Xcw Solon Must Reach Washington
"Without lieast Delay to Take
Oath on Time.
George EJ. Chamberlain, United States
Senator-elect fro Oregon, left yesterday
morning for Washington, where he goes
to take his seat. None of his family ac
companyed him and as far as is known,
none of his political friends went along,
although he was given God speed at the
depot by a host of friends. His term as
Governor of Oregon expired at midnight
last night, and only by close train con
nections can ho reach the Capitol In
time to take the oath.
Just why the former Chief Executive
and future United States Senator for Ore
gon delayed his departure, Is not known.
His trip across the country must be made
without an hour's delay In order to reach
Washington to take the oath at noon on
March 4. If he fails to reach the Capitol
at noon, the time all of the new Senators
take their oaths), he will not Be sworn in
until March 6, and he will thereby lose
considerable prestige. This Juniority
would make Mr. Chamberlain the last
member of every committee to which he
might be appointed.
By leaving yesterday morning and by
making the trip without loss of time, Mr.
Chamberlain expects to arrive in time to
participate in Taffs inauguration. With
his resignation as Governor going Into
effect at midnight. Secretary of State
Benson became Governor. Mr. Cham
berlain left his resignation In the hands
of his secretary, Mrs, C. B. Shelton, and
the document will be delivered to Gov
ernor Benson when he opens his office
this morning.

MAY TALK TO MARS
Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., Prepared
for Such Achievement.
SCIENTISTS STARTLE HIM
Dtpatch From Boston Foretelling
Conditions That Will End Earth's
Existence Cause Speaker to
Speculate on Possibilities.
That some party of scientists at work
upon a South Sea Island may have ac
complished communication with beings
on the planet Mars by means of large
mirrors, was the statement made by
Rev. W. G. Eliot. Jr, In his sermon
at the Unitarian Church last night. He
said such a thing Is within the realm
of possibility. Before entering upon
his discourse, he read a dispatch from
Boston, printed In The Oregonian last
Friday, which reads:
'"A collision of an unknown dark
planet with the sun will terminate life
on the earth said Professor Perclval
Lowell, director of the Lowell Observa
tory at Flagstaff. Ariz., In a lecture to
night at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
" The event will be prophesied 14
years before the catastrophe occurs,
and chaotic confusion will reign In the
world during the days preceding the
calamity.' "
In part Mr. Eliot said:
I suppose we ought to make allow
ances, for this dispatch mar have been
sent out by the same sort of corre
spondent who sent out to a more or
less interestedworld that the pastor of
this church was interested In hydro
therapy. But we will take this to be a
true statement of Professor Lowell,
brother to the president of Harvarri
University, who has probably done
more than any other man in extending
our knowledge of the planet Mars.
Appeals to Imagination.
The statement of his that the sun
win collide with an unknown dark
P.f.neh and that the event will be scien
tifically predicted 14 years before it
occurs, producing a state of panic in
the world, appeals to the imagination
more than anything else I have ever
read. Nothing is said of the time when
this will occur, so we are probably safe
for centuries.
But I suppose that this is a first dis
patch, probably given out so as not to
Hhock us too much, and that more Is to
follow. Perhaps I will read In the pa
per tomorrow of some scientisis who
have been disconnected from the world
:2r year at work upon some Island In
the South Sea suitable for a study of
the planets. I may read that they have
brought back remarkable predictions
I will suppose that they noticed points
of light upon Mars, and that these
flashes showed that the beings were
intent on communicating with this
planet. Those scientists perhaps found
a clew. There was perhaps, at first,
one flash, then two together. then
three. It would plainly Indicate to
those observers that someone on Mars
was counting. Then, perhaps, there
came two dots, a space, two dots a
longer space, then four dots. Thus
they came to discover a signal for the
plus sign, and In similar fashion they
may have found one for the minus sign.
Immense Heliograph Possible.
Perhaps these scientists managed to
contrive a huge mirror, which would
R,.v.e J1 Plnt of lisrlit similar to that
which they were able to see with their
telescopes. It may be that these men
were thus able to communicate with
tho Inhabitants of Mars along mathe
matical lines, verifying each others'
calculations regarding heavily bodies
We will assume that in this astound
ing report of Professor Lowell's we are
being prepared for a mathematical
demonstration of this collision, just as
we know when eclipses aro about to
occur.
Here Mr. Eliot went on to show that
the mathematical knowledge that the
end of the world would occur In ten
years would paralyze trade conditions,
all permanent constructive work, the
giving of long-time bonds, and all busi
ness transactions in which time was an
element. He referred to the times of
the black plague as an example, when
be said that vice would run riot and
that the governments would become
unstable. He also said that every form
of superstition would arise. The
preacher then tvent on to say that ho
disliked to scare people, but that all of
them were on "thin ice" all the time,
and that he found it "ridiculous to
think that character can depend for Its
vitality upon flesh and blood."

M. C. A. "In fact. In many cases It
doesn't mean anything at all." The
speaker wast endeavoring to convey the
true character of religion as contrasted
with the conceptions of religion which
are generally held.
"It Is a serious question whether or
not a man can have light from heaven
and not be aware of the fact," the
speaker continued. "This experience Is
not consistent with Joining; a. church.
Members are received, confirmed and
baptized. Joining churches Is not being
born anew, nor Is being baptized an In
dication of spiritual life. These things
do not constitute new birth any more
than being generous and klndhearted
does. There is only one thing that will
enable a man to stand well before God.
That Is to get rid of his sins. Ton
never will be a man so long as you deal
with sin. Tou cannot substitute ma
terial things for affection. There Is ono
thing that God wants. It Is human love.
Any man who turns to God wtth money
Instead of love will meet the scorn of
the Almighty."

All slaves of the landlord; all struggling to get out from under
the fearful burden of rent; all appreciating the splendid fight that
GREGORY is making in their behalf. Over a hundred lots were
sold. People became enthused over the plans GREGORY
showed them for their new homes. Men threw their hats into
the air with joy as they signed their contracts which became
EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATIONS to them. The little
children were glad as they romped about among the trees and
sported over the magnificent stretch of GREGORY HEIGHTS.
There are fewer and fewer lots remaining every day. If you
