LIMITATIONS FEW, IF ANY Preacher Gives Praise to Christian Scientists, but Does Not Condemn Hediclne Says He Has Cared Many Himself. I belters that there are few limita tions, if any. to the healing of men through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and making their ailments pass away." was the state.int made yesterday rooming by Rer. W. W. McArthur. In the course of an address to the Pilgrim congregation, on Shaver street and Missouri avenue. Rev. Sir. McArthur is head of the Bible School, of Denver. Colo., where he is also a member of the First Congrega tional Church. This school la founded on the Idea that the gospel properly under stood. Is the means by which and through which Ihe ailments and suffer ings of the human family may be healed. The only physical limitations, according to Rev. Mr. McArthur In his address yes ' terday morning, exist where the eye is gone entirely, the ear taken away or a limb cut off. In these cases, said the divine, he found nothing In the gospel to Indicate that the missing member could be replaced. He also said that other limitations axe found in the indi viduals themselves, and In the Indiffer ence and hostility of churches snd some pastors to the new gospel of healing the Denver Bible School seeks to extend over the country. Christ's Work Twofold. Rev. Mr. McArthur held that divine pealing was essentially a part of the re ligion or Jesus cnrist ana ciiea many pas sages of scripture In support of this claim.- He said in part: The capacity to receive the Life of God determines man's Immortality, and has that capacity in the redemption of Ma body from sin. disease and death. Man's body is that which Jesus Christ has redeemed, and eternal Life is the free gift of God. Hence Is seen the two fold work of Jesus, first as a man. tak ing upon Himself the sins of the world and dying, and then as God. giving Life to these bodies of men. Now, when we believe the significance of His death which was the death of sin. that cursed man and brought him under the law and accept Hla gift of Lite which estab lishes man's relations with God. we en ter into the consciousness of eternal Ufe and the restoration of redeemed body." Christian Science Praised. The principles of Rev. Mr. McArthur's teachings border on those of Christian Science snd the Emanuel movement. For many years he waa a practloner of Chris tian Science himself, and In his talk yesterday morning he commended the work of that church. He said he. him self, had been benefited by Christian Science. He also commended medical science and other methods of healing, and had nothing to say in thlr condemnation. The medicine and such methods of heal ing, however, were useless, he contended, unless there was confidence In them. So In gospel healing there must be confi dence and hope. In speaking of the prac tical nse of gospel healing he said that the Individual might use it by becoming a messenger of Jesus Christ to the stricken ones. Many Cures Are Cited. Rev. Mr. McArthur closed his address by giving many Instances of the com plete cure of people through the gospel as practiced by himself. These aliments, be declared, were not Imaginary, but real physical allmenta and deep-seated, but had yielded to treatment according to the teach Inga of Jesus Christ. ui. ...i.nninn fnr invlnr the Chris tian Science Church Is that his conscience would not allow him to occupy nis posi tion aa a practloner of Christian Science k. inMnalatffnt therewith. He was r.ot able to make other Christian Scient ists see what he considered his ever advancing and enlarged conception of Christ. He could see that although prac ticing Christian Science brought to hu manity many things which he felt within himself it waa God's will that they should have, yet it brought them in a negative way rather than through Christ himself. Rev. Mr. McArthur spoke along the same lines In the afternoon at the Has-salo-street Congregational Church, and expects to deliver other lectures while In the city and to organtxe a branch of the Denver Bible School in Portland. REV. HEXRY .MARCOTTE IS BACK Westminster Church Pastor Returns From Visit Over Atlantic. Rev. Henry Marcotte. pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. East Tenth and Weldler streeta. who was one of the representatives of the Presby terians of Oregon to the general assem bly, returned Saturday night and occu pied his pulpit yesterday. With Rev.

An drew Montgomery, formerly of the Third Church, but now of Oak Park Presby terian Church, Chicago. I can say to the friends of Mr. Montgomery In Port land and Oregon that he has been eml ' nently successful and that both he and Mrs. Montgomerv had gained a strong plsee In the hearts of his congregation. I while he la aeugntea witn aim new ucm be still has longing eyes on Oregon and her mountains. Oe't Park Church bids t fair to become one of the prominent Presbyterian churches of Chicago.

Terrible Is Waste of Bull Run Prod uct, as Many Persons Leave Fau cets Open All Night. Peter Hume, of the Sell wood Bank, and a prominent member of the Sell wood Commercial Club, contends that until every citlsen Is supplied with a meter, there will be shortage at cer tain times, even after the aecond Bull Run pipe line haa been completed. "People In Sellwood, even now, with a water famine on, let faucets run all night, and nobody can know about It. said Mr. Hume. "If there were meters on all houses this terrible waste of water would soon come to a stop. I can see no other solution to the prob lem of water for Portland than a whole sale installation of water meters. I have no doubt that the present supply of water, with ample reinforcing mains and meters, would come very near sup plying the citizens of Portland. It would cut out the wastage. Mayor Lane thought there waa water enough, if people would stop wasting water, but they will not stop until it touches their pockets. I think Portland must come to the adoption of the water- meter system sooner or later, and that it will solve the waste problem. Then every one paya for what he gets, and for wastage aa welL V ater might be running in my building and I would only find It out when the bill arrived. I favor meters for every one as a fair and effective check on wastage." D. M- Donaugh, president of the Sell- wood Board of Trade, says that the order of the Water Committee to cltt sens to use the water only on alternate days Is not being enforced, and that there Is still a shortage of water. For a short time there was some effort to obey the new order of the Water Com mittee, but he says that aa far as he haa observed the order haa never been generally enforced. "Its enforcement depends on the peo ple," said Mr. Donaugh. "and most peo ple do not care very much how their neighbors fare If they can get all the water they need. We must keep ever lastingly after the Water Committee for more water mains. It will not do to simply ask for water mains and then wa't tor the mains to be laid. The mains won't come that way. The peo ple must demand what they need. We shall send a strong delegation tomor row, with other committees from the East Side, before the Water Commit tee." PERSONALMENTION. B. F.

EXERCISE OF CARE URGED Carelessness of People in Woods De plored by Pastor of First Congre gational Church Other Min isters to Discuss Subject. "HansIns; Is too good a punishment for tha man who Intentionally or care lessly seta fire to our forests, and thereby causes loss of property and perhaps of life." according; to Dr. Luther K. Dyott. The pastor of the First Congregational Church spoke for a few minutes last night on the con servation of Oregon's resources. There should be more stringent laws, he said, and a more extensive forest patrol. He praised ex-President Roosevelt's action In bringing about the formation of tha National Conservation Commission. Dr. Dyott said, in part: "One of the best things that Colonel Roosevelt did during his administration as President of the United States waa that of calling" together the Governors of all the states to meet with a number of other prominent men In a confer ence at the White House in May. 1908, to consider the Important matter of the conservation of the natural reaou-ces of our country. Some good came of that conference. For one thing, it gave our country the National Conservation Commission. Then, it occasioned a second meeting in Washington the fol lowing December. and at that time attention was called to the rapidly de creasing timber supply of the United States. Attention waa then directed to the fact that about four-fifths of the wooded area waa in private ownings. and the timber was In danger of being consumed too rapidly. Supply Is Threatened. "It waa noted that the National forests embraced the remainder, and at the rate of cutting they would aup ply the lumber requirements of our country for about ten years. The con sumption of timber in the United States during one year was three times the annual increment, and It waa observed In 1908 that, unless the destructive use to All the World! and in Principle for tne to New District W o if ton of forests soon ceased, a timber famine would surely follow. We are still using our timber too rapidly, and when you add to this the awful destruction through forest fires, we face a" fact which should occasion widespread alarm and the utilization of every means and the application of every remedy at our command as a Nation, as states and as individuals. Our Na tional' Forest Service is efficient and valuable, but we need and must have even greater progress In state, munic ipal and corporate forestry and, more than all, perhaps, greater efficiency on the part of all concerned In preventing forest fires. Greater care should be exercised in ascertaining the origin of these fires and in fixing the recpon slblllty for them. In many, if not most instances they mean something more than accidents, and even when they are of accidental origin, such an accident is, as a rule, due to wicked careless ness. Even If we compel all railroad companies to pay for the damage done by the fires started by the sparks from locomotives, we cannot then make matters aa nearly right as they should be. "Again, capital punishment would be too good for the wretch who Intention ally or carelessly, when passing through the forest, starts a fire which not only consumes millions of dollars worth of property in the noble trees, but moreover, ia the cause of untold harm In other respects. Everywhere let us have more stringent measures with reference to these matters. Then we need a patrol system of protection which shall" be more general and effi cient. Forest fires can be prevented, and. assuredly, they should be pre vented. People Must Wake Up. "AH over the country, and especially in this part of our country, out here in the great Northwest, let us wake up to what can be done, and do It. To do what ought to be done In this respect Is an essential part of practical every day religion. If we fall to do it. to the degree that we fall we are positively wicked. A forest fire la a Hades, which ought never to be, and it will not be when our wide-awake people are all that -they ought to be, and when they do all they ought to do." Dr. William Hiram Foulkes will speak at the First Presbyterian Church next Sunday night on "Conserving Our Resources," and will mention the forest fire question. He will speak August 14 on "Man's Mastery of the Air"; August 21 on "The Symbolism of the Sea." and August 2S on "The Desert Blossoming as the Rose." Dr. Benjamin Toung is also to speak upon tha forest fire problem, but not until ho returns from a month'a vaca tion. These sermons are In response to 2000 letters sent out to as many preachers throughout Oregon and Washington by District Forester Chapman, asking that they take up thia question in their pul pits. The forester said about 100 fires were raging in the mountains. .

Presentation of the circumstances surrounding the death of Vera Hall a week ago on the operating table in Dr. J. J. Rosenberg's office will be made to the grand Jury when It meets, not later than August 29, said District At torney Cameron last night. The Jury will be called together at that time in regular order of business, preparatory to the opening of the Fall term of court, and the District Attorney does not feel that there is any special need of presenting the Rosenberg matter be fore that time. Three alternative grounds for action against the physician are presented under the alleged facta in the case. First, he may be proceeded against on the supposition that the death of tha girl by the use of chloroform cama when the operating physician was in the act of committing a criminal oper ation, and therefore comes under the force of the principle of law that death brought about by the hand of one who is In the act of committing a crime, ia manslaughter. This alternative has been placed In the background for the present by the District Attorney, be cause none of the witnesses has so far admitted that any criminal operation was contemplated. Second, action may be taken against Rosenberg on the contention that In administering anesthetic to Vera Hall without the assistance of an expert as sistant, when he probably knew that her heart was defective, and without loosening the tight clothing which she wore, he committed an act of criminal carelessness sufficiently grave to con stitute manslaughter. Third, an effort may be made to bring the conduct of the physician to the at tention of the medical examiners, as a person whose act convicts him of un fitness to be allowed the prlvllegea of a physician. It is extremely doubtful if, under the existing statute, this ac tion can be successfully taken, as the reasons for which a license to practice may be taken away are specifically named, and do not include a case such as this appears to be from the facts In the possession of the authorities. It is probable that unless new evi dence develops, as Is expected, the sec ond alternative will be taken and the action of Rosenberg laid before the Entire BlocK Bounded by Mor- lOth, Alder Show As Fully Described in Sunday's Papers Men's Regular $25.
