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.

"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

steadily and continually.

A group of mutes, about -S In num

As t crowning moment cf the meet

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

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

The sermon of Gipsy Smith was pre

talk by Rev. W. B. Hlnson. When the

CIPSV SMITH CHALLENGED

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

On another occasion he said. T

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.

For the soul to- be filled with Christ,
that Is heaven. AndV the Apostle Paul
said. "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

It. and there ahall In no wise enter

will then come to Portland by water
and can be shipped eastward from this
city by rail at a rate low enough to
enable Portland to extend Its Jobbing
xone well toward the Missouri Valley.
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.

"The Commission's decision ('means
the death knell for preferential dis
