TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER ,24, 1909. - O iO . T IS SADLY LACKING Methodist Conference Finds That Ministry Does Not Ap peal to Young Men. COMMERCIALISM THE CAUSE Bishop Atkins and Pr. W. E. Vaughn Speak of Great Opportunities of the West and Present Needs of the Church. The great West and its opportunities, and the tendency of young men to turn to commercial pursuits, instead of'en tering the ministry, was the keynote of the remarks of Bishop Atkins and Dr. TV. E. Vaughan. editor of the Pacific 'Methodist Advocate, at the opening of the forty-four'h sessions of Columbia Conference. Methodist Church South, yesterday morning In the First Church. Union avenue and Multnomah street. Lengthy comment was made on the op portunities offered on the great Pacific Coast, and the fact that the church had not the men to handle the work was deplored. Bishop Atkins said that the Methodist Church South was not the only one in this situation. Dr. C. E. Cline asked the speaker if this situation was not the result of the commercial spirit, and cited the fact that a presiding elder in Oregon had recently resigned to go Into business. Bishop Atkins replied that the com mercial spirit was the cause of the lack of ministerial material and that It was the same complaint all over the whole country and affected all de nominations alike. In speaking of the Pacific Coast Bishop Atkins declared that the advantages and opportunity were beyond estimation, beyond those of the East, and remarked sarcastically, "The great West is even too good for the set that is in it." asked if he re ferred to the preachers Ire said he re ferred to all classes, his idea being that the people of the West' did not appreciate Its advantages. Takes Cp Religious Literature. Dr. Vaughan delivered an eloquent address, in the course of which he said that in 1902 when he stood with Rev. E. H. Mowre. pastor of the Portland Church, in Arizona, he did not expect to be in the splendid new Portland church in 1909. He devoted himself to the discussion "of religious literature, . declaring that to this literature the minister and Christian must look for mental food. He pointed out that there were publications for best stock, for mines, and even for the raising of valuable cats widely read, while re- .' liglous publications were the first to be sacrificed. The conference was organized by election of the following officers: C H. Cleaves, secretary; J. E. Walbeck, statistical secretary: W. T. Goulder, as sistant secretary. Time of sessions was fixed in the forenoon between 9 and 11:45. Bishop Atkins announced the transfer of K. N. Meares from Okla homa Conference, and W. A. Ore and J. H. Dills, of the East -Columbia Con ference, to Columbia Conference, and their names were enrolled. Rev. H. A. Deck, of United Evangelical; Dr. C. E. Cllne, Methodist; Rev. John Flinn, pi oneer Methodist; Rev. J. T. Abbett. city Methodist missionary; Rev. J. L Larson, Danish Methodist, were introduced to the conference. . Reports Are Submitted. Bishop Atkins filed the report of Dr. J. B. Hamilton on the educational work of the Methodist Church South, show ing great progress. It set forth that Columbia Conference was assessed 160. The report was referred to the com mittee on education. The report of Dr. J. B. Cunningham, on the correspond ence 'school of the church, was also submitted. The bishop remarked that he regarded this department one of the most' Important of the Methodist Church South, as most of the ministers received their literary education through It. E. B. Jones, presiding elder, submit ted his report, in which he said that membership throughout the conference had increased. He said that the minis ters were hardworking and faithful men. C. L. McCausland, of Seattle, re ported that the membership there had Increased from "0 to 110 during the year. It was Intended, he announced, to sell the present property and secure another site, and erect a modern church building. Bishop Atkins, commenting on the work inr general, declared that the or ganized Bible class would solve many of the problems of the inactive church, and would also help out the Epworth League. The bishop declared that he had no. use for a minister-or church that did not do something, and a church that did not have a struggle never amounted" to anything. He cited the Portland Church and Rev. Mowre. "You cannot raise a healthy baby on the hothouse plan," declared the bishop, "and a church raised that way Is ready to be burled." New Committees Named. Other charges reported In some In stances showing progress. The following conference committees were announced: Board of Missions E. H. Mowre. W. T. Goulder. Victor P. Moses, J. H. Dills. A. J.

ASTORIA Sept. r.-(Speclal.)-Y ester day afternoon was citizenship day in the RELIGIOUS IMBtR Circuit Court, and ten applicant for ad mission were passed upon favorably. One applicant was denied admission without prejudice, for the reason that his wit nesses were keepers of saloons in the lower end of the- town, who had -been found guilty of selling liquor on Sunday. Special Agent Hazard, of the Federal Immigration Bureau, who 'conducted the examinations, held that these men were not competent witnesses as to the good moral character of the applicant, and for that reason the application was denied, with the understanding that it might come up again at a future session of the court with other witnesses. Hunts Bat to Death; Fears Consequences Xante at Good Samaritan Recall Old Superstition, and Now Finds It Hard to Sleep. WHAT is the precise penalty super- stition has attached to seeing a bat? Is it any worse to' kill the bat; but above all what may be looked forward to if the little ceature be chased to death In a hospital ward? This Is the series of questions for which Miss Carrie Joseph, a pretty nurse on night duty at the Good Samaritan Hospital, vainly seeks an answer. Every night at the midnight supper table she propounds the ques tion to her associates, for she is really superstitious and now lives In dally flread of the horrors her heedlessness may have invonea. Monday night a tiny bat flitted into the entrance hall of the hospital and, being spied by the nurse there on duty, flew up the stairs. On the second floor the chase was taken up b Night Superintendent Owen, who pursued so vigorously the flying little animal that in terror it dashed over the various floors of the hospital. Patients and nurses alike screamed In horror as the uncanny thing touched their faces in the half-twilight that prevails at night In the wards. Attracted by the screams of several other nurses. MIsb Joseph took up the pursuit on the floor of the lofty fifth floor ward. She endeavored to reach the bat with a mop where it had taken refuge high up in the corner of a win dow, andsucceeded. Then she literally chased it along passage after passage until she had raced right around the building. , The bat had scarcely reached the ward again when it fell dead from exhaustion. Seeing the result of her chase, Miss Joseph became horror-stricken. Some where, she said, she had read of the dire penalty attached to slaying a bat. "Of, course, I'm not superstitious, 1 but do you think there Is really anything In It?" she queried. Although It is now three days ago she still puzzles, wor ries and begs an answer to the ques tion, "Is there anything In- it, for I did not really kill the bat?" LENIENCY SHOWN TO BOTH Youth and Age Plead Guilty to First Larceny Charges. Sentences of one year each were im posed upon George L. Baird, a youth, and Charles Liendstrom. whose hair Is begin ning to be streaked with gray, by Judge Bennett In the Municipal Court Wednes day. Both were charged with larceny, the complainants being different In each case. Baird. who is barely more than 21 years old. is the son of a respectable railroad employe living' at Astoria. Through evil associates he got Into bad ways in the city and at the time of his arrest several charges were filed, against him by the police. He pleaded guilty to burglarizing the rooms of Carrie Wren In the Helnze Apartments, where he stole J20 in money. The other cases against him were dropped. Leindstrom is a logger who stole a cheap watch and J200 in money from John Peterson, another logger. Leind strom and Peterson, when they came from the logging camp, occupied a room together at Third and Flanders streets. Peterson wanted to send his savings to his home by a postal money order; Being a newcomer front his native land and fearing that he would be unable to ex plain what he wanted to the Postoffice clerks he entrusted. the money to Leind strom, who started for- the Postoffice but never returned. Leindstrom had $160 of the money .when -caught by the officers in a camp in Washington County. He returned this amount to Peterson and admitted his guilt. In consideration of great penitence the Judge permuted a charge of. simple larceny Instead of grand larceny to be placed against him, which saved him from a term In the penitentiary. His sentence will be served In the County Jail. MEN'S MEETINGS TO BEGIN Big Gathering Is Expected at Y. M. C. A. Building Sunday. The first of the Fall and Winter Sun. dav afternoon meetings for men will be heid in the new building of the Portland Young Men's Christian- Association build ing.

Ladd, president of the Y. M. C. A., will preside at this meeting and the entire faculty of the educational depart ment is expected to attend and occupy seats on the platform. H. W. Stone, who has been general secretary of the asso ciation for 13 years, will be the speaker of the 'afternoon and will give an address on "The Educational Work of the Y. M. C. A." There will also be music by a male quartet consisting of Dr. J. M. McMJchael. H. N. Whetsel. J. H. Hol llngworth and X. L. Bowman. This is the regular Y. M. C.

The former moored at the Eastern and Western Mills, where she will be lined. The Nederland went to the North Pacific Mills. Two more cargoes will probably finish up the month of September for foreign grain shipments. The Emilie Siegfried will finish today. As compared with 13 cargoes, carrying 1,711,578 bushels of wheat, 50,723 barrels of flour and 299.938 bushels of barley shipped in September. 1908, the record for the present month does not come anywhere near the top place. October gives promise of making up the deficiency. NEW MARINE ORDER HOLDS Vessels May Tow From Vancouver to Seattle AVlthout Full Crew. VANCOUVETR, B. C, Sept. 23. (Spe cial.) The protest of the sailing ehip, Celtic Monarch, against having to sign on a complete complement of crew to go from this port to Seattle in tow has been upheld by the marine department at Ot tawa, the decision being of Interest to shipping men because It settles a point which heretofore on this ooast haa been a mnrtap of fllstOTTI OnlV E9 followed in Great Britain, where board of trade rules were formulated. The local shipping master refused to grant the ship clearance unless she had a full complement.- Captain Llewellyn held that he had t. have a full comple- vnant nnlv whan nrnPPfflltir tO & foreign port, which would mean to sea. This contention follows tne old country s cus tom, where vessels are allowed to be nxvaA nrtr dtxtnnret from DOlnt tO DOtnt with -only sufficient hands to steer and keep lookout.

"No woman of the Women's Christian Temperance Union ought ever be guilty of wearing on her hat a whole or half a bird." Mrs. VanTyne made this remark yester day afternon In the course of her report under the head of "Mercy and Peace," before the county W. C. T. U. conven tion in session in the Sunnyslde Con gregational Church. She commended the action of the authorities in enforcing the law bearing on wearing plumes, pointing out that the W. C. T. U. ought to set an example. The book written by W. L. Flnley on Oregon, birds was com mended and It was urged that it ought to be read by every boy and girl In the .public schools. Under the head of "Purity in Litera ture and Art" Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden spoke in emphatic terms of the display of pic tures In public places in Portland which she declared were pernicious. These, she said, ought to removed from the gaze of young people. The billboards, she con tinued, displayed pictures that were vulgar and Indecent. In speaking of postal cards Mrs. Hidden saldi "The evil of postal cards is very great. Vulgar and obscene postal cards are dis played in respectable place's in this city. We should protest against them. We teach oyr children purity, and yet these cards are displayed everywhere. Are we afraid to speak against the evil? There are papers and magazines sold for 10 and 15 cents that are filled with trash. We must guard our children against them. Wo must give them wholesome mental food." " ! The question was raised whether there Is an ordinance against the display of obscene pictures and postal cards in this city, and if not, it was the sentiment of tho convention that such an ordinance ought to be passed. If there Is such an ordinance, the convention declared It the duty of the city officers to enforce it. Mrs. Inman, president of the Central Union, spoke with' some feeling on this subject. Reports were read on mothers meetings, temperance In the public schools, flower missions and other departments. Mrs. Hidden remarked that little could be ac complished through the .public schools while the children are forced to load themselves up with so much work. She declared that there ought to be a reform that would emancipate the school chil dren from the killing pace at which they are now being driven. The convention declared that it would co-operate with other organizations in the movement to make Oregon dry in 1910. Mrs. S. L. Ross presided.

Under my treatment the patient who notes improve ment in his condition can feel assured that real benefit and not a temporary drug effect has been obtained, and can continue with confidence that a thorough cure Is being ac complished. Mv success as a specialist is due to the fact that I accept no Incurable dis ease and always treat with a cure jn view, never resorting to the use of a remedy that brings but temporary emmragement to the patient. I cure dis eases thor oughly a n d In less time than is com m o n 1 y required to even cure par tially. Do not endanger your health and power by rely ing upoa pat ent nostr urns or other un certain m e a s-ures. Choose the Right Specialist The most important thing for you to do, if you are an ailing man, Is to seek the services of THE RIGHT DOOTOIi. Don't go to the first one you see, simply because he happens to be a physician. Choose the physi cian who makes a specialty of cur ing the kind of ailments from which YOU suffer. The ordinary medical man really knows but little about curing the diseases peculiar to men. He merely has a general knowledge of such diseases because Ills prac tice is spread out over the whole range of diseases to which flesh Is heir. He therefore knows a little about all diseases and not a great deal about any. If you should go to him he may conscientiously try to cure you, but, not knowing how, he would have to experiment upon you. In brief, he is a medical "jack of all trades and master of none." Know ing these facts, would you want to trust your life in his' hands? If your watch were to break or get out of order, you wouldn't take it to a machinist to have it repaired. . No, von would know better. You would take it to the very best WATCH MAKER you could find. Then why should you not use the same kind of good, sound Judgment when you need a doctor? Your health is cer tainly as Important as your timepiece.

Afflicted Men Cured Forever REASON FOR MY UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS It is not so much in knowing a great deal about many things, as In knowing all about a few things- When a doctor graduates . from a medical college It Is after the various professors have tried to impart t li e I r . knowledge to him. and It takes about 12 or 15 professors in' the various lines of studv four years to qualify a student for the practice of medi cine, and then he Is simply licensed not qualified. Does a sane man expect a medi cal student to go forth from a college as thorough In knowledge in each branch as the individual professor who finds it necessary to devote his entire time to a single subject, such as anatomy or chemistry, and who Is then far from perfect? It is a poor rule that won't work both ways if one professor is not competent to teach a student all about anat omv, chemistry, physiology, his tology, obstetrics, surgery, path ology, bacteriology and the many other branches too numerous to mention, that he is expected to he thorough in. how must the raw recruit of a medical student be expected to retain what the combined efforts of 12 or 15 men have tried to crowd into him? It never has been done and never will he. The doctor who Is suc cessful is the doctor who spe cializes in some particular line. He does not have to be a hypo crite about advertising, and de votes all his time to his special line of work, and Is therefore a-onAT-n llv a man nrnflclent enough to have something worth advertising and willing to pay the market price, instead of sponging it in a hundred different ways. I don't mean, however, that every doctor' who advertises Is alright any more than every doctor who don't advertise. There are good and bad on both sides of the fence.
