"From G(,jr Tent to Pulpit.' at tabernacle. Thousands of persons had already left the tabernacle after the rlose of Gipsy Smith's sermon last night, when an outburst of cheering and clapping nonr the members of the choir turned back those that were still crowding about tha entrance. W. M. Wilder, choir director, swan the evangelist around until he faced the sincere, and mounting a chair with a mysterious racks In his hands, began what was evidently a presentation speech, al though the aound of the movement of people In tha building made his words Inaudible to all but those nearest at hand. For once. Gipsy Smith found himself at a loss for words, when Rifts repre senting the itood wishes of the choir that has been with him since the be ginning of the meetings, were placed In his hands. Holding out his arms to ward the lingers, his eyes shining- with tears, he stammered: "I feel as though I could hug you all. collectively." Mn. SaaHai Ala Reaaeaabere. Tha gifts Included a traveling clock and a traveler's cup. both engraved with the date and a word of 'good wishes on behalf of the choir. , "They are not bulky nor pretentious gifts." Professor Wilder said to tha ex horter. "but are meant to show that the hearts of your singers are all with you." , Mrs. I. Kelly. In behalf of the choir, presented Mrs. Smith with a "rose leaf" necklace. Ulpey Smith's sermon last night waa baaed on the story from (Samuel of the disobedience of Saul, when be failed to follow the command to slay utterly the Amalekltc. and their flocks, but spared the life of the King and took bark to Judea with him tha choicest of the enemy's flocks. "When Samuel upbraided Paul with his disobedience." he said. "Haul put on a sanctimonious faro and declared that he bad kept the flocks for sacri fice. "Whence this bleating of sheep and lowing of ktner asked Samuel I tell you. If you attempt to play the hypo crite, the sheep will nevertheless bleat and the cattle will low. Just when you do not want them to do It. God by divine ventriloquism will expose the hypocrite. Isrvtl et BUaaeeV "Don't blame your sins on your parents or ancestors. Too can be born again. God made Adam good out of nothlna. and hecan make yon good If you will let him.' If you are bad It's because you are contented to be. "Inn't blame the devil either. If you are bad. The devil can't make man sin; he can only tempt iilm. If you resisted the temptations of the devU with half the stubbornness that you resist the appeals of the church, of your friends, of God. when they ask you to be good you would never sin. , "The devil can only tempt. That'a Ms business, I'd do It too. If I were the devil." The evangelist attacked card-play Ing. dances, theater parties and wine par ties, declaring that one must "slay ut terly" such things If he sincere!, hoped for salvation. "Before I'd let my room or hall be used for a whist party." he cried. "J'd set fire to It. These are the things that lead people away from the church. Some John the Baptist will have to arise In America, and risk his head to call the church bark to Chrst." I'nder the spell of the singing and of the Impassioned pleas of the evangelist, scores cf persons rose. when, after the close of the sermon, he called upon those who desired to embrace Chris tianity. The Gipsy's voice. -which hid been husky In the afternoon meetings from the strain of long continue1 J speaking, seemed to have come back to him as strong and as clear as ever. Now singing, now pleading, now exhorting, he called upon first one group and then another In different parts of the audi torium, and In response people rose steadily and continually. lie called upon those who had friend) In the crowd to plead with them and. If possible. bring them forward. Couples' thronged toward the Inquiry room from all parts of the building. A gray-halrej mother was walking for ward with her young son. two school girl friends came arm In arm. a crip ple hobbled forward to escort his friend, two stalwart worklngmen shuf fled timidly up the aisle and Joined tha flood that was pouring Into the cur tained apartment. iVkle A a41eare Reap da. Is that your mother, my boy?" the Gipsy asked of a lad who was coming forward with an aged lady leaning on his shoulder. "No. sir; but she Is a friend of mine." 'answered the childish voice. "Bless you both!" he cried, extending bis hand. A group of mutes, about -S In num ber, thronged about the speaker, with uplifted smiling facea. and exchanged bleaalngs and felicitations with the Gipsy preacher through the medium of a nimble-lingered Interpreter. As t crowning moment cf the meet ing. Just before the benediction and dismissal. Gipsy Smith railed upon all those who had found help and comfort from the meetings s'nee they had been begun In Portland, to rise to their fret. For a moment he stood, with his hands extended over them, and then Her after tier, with a movement like the sweep of a wind over a ftrlt of grain, thousands of people rose to their feet. Ailing the auditorium until It was impossible to tell whether there was left a single one who had remained seated. ' "That wss the moat wonderful re sponse that I have received since the meetings were be nun." th Glpxy said as he to wed his head for the benedic tion. EXIIOKTEK ADDRESSES WOMEN' Hearer Told Tlicy ;ive More In Collections Than Men. ' lrglng consecration of one's life to the service of Christ, as-well as mere conversion. Gipsy c'mltn addressed 1000 women at the tabernacle yesterday afternoon. 4 T woman rose sobbing In hysterics, and was led from the hall. The at tention of the audience fell away, but the preacher regained It by stopping In the middle of his epeech and railing upon his hearers to sing the chorus of a hymn. From that time until the rlose of the meeting he appealed to exercise his power over his audiences and when, at the close of a short prayer, he called upon those who de sired to "re-consecrate themselves to Christ" to stand up. there was a sub dued rustle throughout the auditorium that grew gradually to a roar, as more than rtlr.c-tenths of the women rose In response. ' The sermon of Gipsy Smith was pre ceded by a song service and a short talk by Rev. W. B. Hlnson. When the collection waa taken. Gipsy Smith an nounced that throughout the series of services the women had contributed relatively a larger share of the collec tions than the men. CIPSV SMITH CHALLENGED Henry tioodrll, Who I Blind, Would Debate About Hell. A challenge to debate has been Is sued to Gipsy Smith by Henry Goodell, who wouid desire, according to the articles of his cartel and dellanPe. to discuss with the evangelist on the na ture of helL Mr. Goodell. among other things, desires to debate on the state ment that hell Is a place reserved for fallen angels, that "all men, both saint and sinner," go there at death, and that It Is a place that burns "with tire and .brimstone, where the wicked will be destroyed.'. The challenger wlshea to take the affirmative of the question and place the negative tn the hands of Gipsy Smith. He desires to have, tho debate continue for six successive nights In bouts of IS minutes for an hour and a half every night. "Because of my bllndnees," says the challenger In the close of his paper. "I reserve the right to usa one secretary and one stenographer." GRAND "JURY HEARS GiRL CHARGES AGAINST PATROLMAN EOSTEK REOPENED.

I chose as my text three parts of texts. "partiKen ok his divine na ture." "partak ers of his suffer ings" and "par takers of his J3U glory." I tried I A to show how It Is possible for those who enter into fellowship and communion with Christ, and partake of tha d i v 1 ne nature, tnd partake of the sufferings of Christ, to share in his glory. Many lettera have reached me asking me ques tions as to what the glory would be ltke. As though any human tongue would ever be able to describe It. Paul gave that up long ago. He said. "Eye hath not seen, ear hath not beard, neither hath It entered Into the heart of man to conceive the things which God bath laid up for them that love him." On another occasion he said. T reckon that the sufferings of this pres ent time are not worthy to be com pared with the glory that shall be re vealed In ua." Just before Christ left his disciples he said to them. "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe In Uod. believe also In me. In my father's house are many mansions. If It were not so I would have told you." And he also said.

PORTLAND HAILS RATE- REDUCTIONS Shippers Believe East-Bound Cuts Will Extend City's Jobbing Zone. DETAILS- AS YET FOGGY J. X. Teal Declare Not Only Will Coast Benettt by Commerce Com mission's Order but Interior Point as Well. f By the sweeping reductions In east bound local rates ordered by the In terstate Commerce Commission yester day, Portland will be able further to extend Its constantly growing Jobbing, xone and the manufacturing Industries of the city will be given added Impetus and development. In the opinion of leading shippers and traffic attorneys. Heretofore Portland's trading xone has been somewhat limited by the competition of Interior cities, which, should the Commission's order tn the famous Spokane case stand, would have a further advantage over Portland and the Coast terminals. Although application of the rates established by the Spokane decision is withheld under an Injunction granted by Xhe Commerce Court, the possibility of those rates eventually becoming effective remains. Tortland shippers express the belief that yesterday's de cision will offset whatever advantage the Interior cities would gain by favorable decision in the Spokane case. Teal Comments on Decision. "In the absence of a complete re- nort from the Commission. I don't know just how the decision will affect Port land." declared J. . Teal, iramc at torney for the Chamber or commerce who laid the case before the Commis sion at Washington. "I don't "believe that anv great reductions have been ordered along the Columbia Kiver, where none were required. I am in clined to think that greatest reduc tions were ordered where the complaint a the most serious. In certain sec tions of Idaho, for -Instance, abnormal rates prevailed for a long time, and It Is probable that these rates have been cut down to a more reasonable basis. I should think that the gradu ated reductions, granting substantially lower rates to points some distance from Portland, will have a beneficial effect unon Portland's future trsde. "I believe that the benefit will be felt not only ty the producers and manufacturers on the Coast but by the people of the interior as well, as It will give them the benefit of Port land markets. "Portland's trade limits are certain to be extended, as It will give Jobbers here an opportunity to distribute their goods to interior points that the pres ent rates have made prohibitory." Miller Sees Beaeflte. R. B. Miller, traffic manager for the O.-W. It- & N. Co., expressed the be lief that the decision will be of ma terial benefit to the Jobbing Interest ef Portland, but lacking a complete re port of the Commission's verdict, he de clared that he could not determine to what extent the railroads would be affected. J. H. Lothrop. traffic manager for tha Chamber of Commerce, regards the decision as an absolute victory for Portland. The transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce Is pre paring to estimate correctly the rates that will prevail when the new tariff goes Into effect. It Is believed that Portland's trade sone will be extended east as far as the Rocky Mountains, which territory, local shippers contend, rightfully belongs to them. Hereto fore Denver. Kansas City. Omaha and Minneapolis Jobbing houses have en croached upon territory extending to the very borders of Oregon. Information In the bands of local traffic men last night waa that the reduction will average 20 per cent on all territory within a radlua of 600 miles east of Portland. It will require several weeks to figure out the rates to each separate point In conformity with the Commission's order. Case I-oaar Pending. The rase had been pending In the courts for many years and was fought by both the railroads and the Interior cities. Portland shippers believe that the greatest effects of the decision will be felt when the Panama Canal Is com pleted and after the manufacturing in dustry of this city Is further developed.

"To be absent from the body Is to be present with the Lord." What shall we do? John tha Divine gives ua soma little Idea of hla vision of tbe multitude which no man could number, that had come out of great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white In the blood of the lamb. He said, "Therefore are they be fore the throne of Ood. and they serve him day and night In his temple. And be that sitteth oil the throne shall well among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the lamb, which is In the midst of the throne, shall feed them and lead them to living fountains of water, and Ood shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." What shall we be like? John says In bis epistle. "We shall be like him. for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath thla hope In hi in. puri fieth himself, even as he is pure." Who are they that shall enter Into this prepared) place? Those who are prepared for the place by regeneration, by fait In Christ, by Cbrlstllkeness, by obellence to the divine will, by com panionship with him. Speaking of this same city, the Apostle John says again, "And the city had no need of the sun. neither of the moon, to shine In it, for j the glory of Ood did lighten It. and I thelamb la the light thereof. And the 1 nations of them that are saved walk j 9 ordered let. the company cannot back in the light of It. and the kings of the j out on the pretext of an error In fig earth do bring their glory and honor urea In making the bid.

And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations Into It. and there ahall In no wise enter Into It anything that defileth. neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a He. but they which are writ ten In the lamb's book of life."

Thst the low eastbound rate will aid also In the development of Portland's manufacturing Industry Is the further belief of traffic men. The existence of rates thst have been considered un reasonable has prevented the growth of manv maufacturlng plants. It Is said. Their market was limited and their trade naturally restricted. They will now be enabled to grow In propor tion to the reduction. ' The Commission orders "the railroads to put the hew rates Ino effect on .Tanuarv 2. 1912. which glvesthem suf ficient time to publish their new tariffs and will give the Portland shippers sn opportunity of preparing for their Increased business. While shippers here are not yet familiar with the details of the decision and Its probable effects, many of them believe thst Portland. which now stands third among the cities of the T'nlted States as a Jobbing center, will advance far bevond Its present rela tive position snd fhat its wholesale business will begin Its, real develop ment on the day that the new rates go Into effect.

F. Beebe at Head. By a deal closed yesterday, after pending several months, the Western Lime & Plaster Company disposed of its holdings to the Acme Cement & Plaster Company, of St. Louis, and will retire from business. The property taken over by the St. Louis company embraces about 1200 acres In Baker County, including lime and plaster mills. The deal involves approximately $250,000. The gypsum and lime lands In these holdings are near Huntington. The gypsum deposits are along the Snake River and are said to be the only com mercially valuable deposits in the Northwest. Thre are now in active operation a plaster mill at Gypsum, In Baker County, and a lime plant, at Lime, In Baker County. Representa tives of the St. Louis company an nounce that plans will be made at once for remodeling of the plants. Deal First Venture Here. With the purchase of these holdings the Acme Cement & Plaster Company makes Its first investment In this territory. This company is credited with being one of the largest plaster manufacturers -in the United States. Large plants owned by it are in oper ation in nearlv all sections of the l-eountry where the raw material is available. Following the purchase of the East ern Oregon lime beds from the Western Lime & Plaster Company, the Acme Cement & Plaster Company contracted to sell Its exclusive output from its newly-acquired property. to the North west Plaster & Lime Company. This concern will handle the Oregon product in Oregon. -Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. The Western Lime & Plaster Com pany, of which C. F.
