An eloquent plea for Christian serv ice from women, a denunciation of self exaltation In philanthropic work, and a warning; to members of the Women'! Christian Temperance Union not to for get on the eve of success the source of all good, were features of the annual Women's Christian Temperance Union convention sermon preached yesterday afternoon at the White Temple by Rev. Edith Hill Booker, of Portland, one of tha leading temperance union evangel ists. More than 2000 persons were held al most spellbound during an hour and a half of discourse, in which Rev. Mrs. Booker related instances of struggles and successes of women of Old Testa ment times end drew examples and morals, made eloquent pleas for the continuance of the great world strug gle against intemperance and warned her listeners against allowing pride or 'self-exaltation to gain a foothold in the organization. She pointed to Christ and the Apostles as models for temper ance workers to follow, and set forth as particularly important the examples of meekness and self-forgetfulness pre sented by them. Christ Held I P aa Exemplar. "To Jesus and the Apostles we must look for our guidance, not only In spir it, but in example." said the speaker. "We must bear in mind the words of Jesus when he said. I -am only a voice.' This wonderfal exclamation came at a time when he was in the height of his popularity, when he could have obtained self-exaltation. But he was not look ing for that: it was enough for him to do the bidding of his Father. That was a wonderful example. What marvelous good can be had from following that course! What mistakes have been made . in following the opposite course! "The greatest grace in the world, and the grace most coveted is that from service without name: to serve without bringing self into prominence. We may love to be philanthropic, so that we can become known. We may engage in charitable or philanthropic work be cause it gives us a place before the eyes of our fellow-citizens. We like . the honeyed words; we like to hear our names on the lips of others and to see our names in print.- All of these things rob our service of its worthiness rob It of its acceptance in the sight of heaven. Humble Spirit Is Urged. "True ability is unmindful of Itself. It is so engaged in its service that it has no time to -notice whether it is be ing appreciated or not Look at the wonderful example of Moses, who. after 40 years as prince of Egypt, came forth as tha meekest, aa well as the might iest, of men. In our philanthropic work, our work against the liquor traf fic, let us always take the lowest room, so that if we move we must move up. "Take the example of our beloved leader. Frances Willard. who died while wrapped in the struggle of unselfish ness. Before she entered the great fight against Intemperance she was of fered two positions. One was that of teacher in a foreign school at a salary of $2400 a year, with great opportunity for self-advancement and exaltation. At about the same time this offer came to her she received a call from a small band of women in Chicago, who had or ganized under the name the Women's Christian Temperance Union, to fight the liquor curse. "She hesitated not a moment. On the one band was an opportunity for self; on the other an opportunity to take up a desperate struggle In which self must be forgotten and ambition turned into the channel of love. She went to Chi cago and took up the leadership of the struggling Women's Christian Temper ance Union. Severe Teat Undergone. "For seven months she was given the severest test. She remained firm through it alL She was not thinking of exaltation, honor, or pay. The Lord cared for her, and she worked on to great success. She withstood the test of unselfishness, and she won the -battle for mankind. With success came honor and exaltation, but even to the end she was unmindful of these In her struggles for mankind. "The spirit of pride raises the whole resistance power of heaven against us. How subtle and dangerous is success. I am talking now to a body of women who are on the brink of success In a desperate struggle against a curse. "Oh, fairest of womanhood you have done nobly, but beware. Let the words of Moses come to us, 'Beware that thou forget not the Lord Thy God.' There -are some within my hearing who re member all the weary way we have traveled on our crusade. They remem ber how God has drawn this organi zation up and on; how he has tested every motive and how he has crowned with success the fight Alas, then for you If you deck yourself with the or nament of victory and forget the Lord. . Fight Lonsr Waged. . ' "We have been engaged these many years in a fight against an intrenched evil that threatens the perpetuity of our race, not to mention our Nation. It !s a curse that has grown from the vlieness of greed- and selfishness; a vice that has been -sanctioned by the United States Government and by the states. We are voices crying out in the wilderness of this world's woes against the monstrosity of the llqu curie. We call on the United Stat or States ssSlilllllllj ' f f S . y& il 'v;r Ivy sn . . - 1 . : REV. EDITH Government to protect us from this evil to which we are forced to give our children as hostages. ' "Let us be a voice for Christ, teach ing his great lessons of temperance and .sobriety. Young women, if you don't belong to the temperance cam paigners, ou don't know what you are missing. If you are not engaged in. a fighl.for Christ you should en list at once. The' power of woman is marvelous. I only wish we had the time to look into the Bible and into history and see how many times wo men have stood up and fought for their rights when all others had slunk away. Munle Part of Programme. "The day is coming when this Na tion will rise to honor the white rib bon workers of today. The great re bellion against entrenched liquor traf fic is resulting in victory."

U. Expected to Re elect All National Officers. MORNING PLAN SUCCESS New Idea Tried Out In Portland for First Time Will Be Adopted as Permanent Feature of ' National Conventions. Although rumors have been circu lated that changes are contemplated in the official roster of the National Woman's Christian Temperance- Uno'i, it is the opinion of leaders of the or ganization that when all the ballots are counted at the annual election Wednesday afternoon, every one of the present officers will have been re elected. This opinion la based on the fact that there have been no changes since 1904 and there is no occasion for any changes at present, they say. Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens undoubt edly will be elected president to suc ceed herself by acclamation. She be came head of the organization In the Fall of 1898 at the first election fol lowing rhe death of Frances E. Wil lard, the first president of the. union. Since that time Mrs. Stevens has held the position of president Other changes in tho roster were made be tween 'that time and 1904 when the last change. is .recorded. Candidates Nominated by Ballot. According to. the custom of the W. C. T. U. at the annual National conven tion, a president corresponding secre tary, recording secretary and .. treas urer are all nominated by ballot In the convention and elected by a subse quent ballot The president Is given the privilege of nominating her own vice-president and the corresponding secretary nominates an assistant sec retary . These are then voted upon by the general convention.' These officers and the state presidents- comprise the official board and this board, with the evangelists, . su perintendents and other state and Na tional officials to the number of about. 150, comprise the executive board. The official hoard nominates candidates for all the positions in the National organization outside the . six who are selected by popular ballot in the con vention.' The nominations of the offi cial board are placed before the con vention for Indorsement Very sel dom are there any changes in the ros ter nominated by- the of f iclal board. In checking-over the list officers at the convention here, now say there will be no changes this year. Morning; Meeting: Plan Success. Considerable interest centers about the selection of delegates to the tri ennial convention of the world body which is to be held in-Buffalo. N. Y. At this gathering 60 nations of the world will be represented. Delegates will be selected for this meeting on Wednesday. As yet there are no announced- candidates in the field and there probably will be none, inasmuch as politics is not participated in by the organization.- In the resolutions of the National body, which will be presented to the convention probably Wednesday after noon, will be one in which the morning meeting plan, which"-is being "tried during the present, convention, will be recommended for adoption as a per manent feature of the conventions. This plan Is to hold department meet ings in the mornings Instead of reg ular meetings of the general conven tion. At the morning meetings much of the routine business Is transacted and the convention sessions of the afternoon are made much more suc cessful. The plan is being tried in Portland for the first time.

"Th Vision the World Needs" was Mrs. Davis' theme, and eloquently she pleaded for the growth of that vision.

But be fore she had finished she had quoted that cryptic poet with telling .effect as well as Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, Hood and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She drew with equal liberality from the great prose writers, and St. Paul, Bacon, Joslah Quincy and Robert Spencer were among those, whose words helped to il luminate her discourse ilrakal Declared Victor.

"Noth ing is so vital to our children for their moral and spiritual education," de clared Mrs. Stevens.

Miss Hughes' address was sprinkled with humorous" anecdotes, one of-them being of a member of a Salvation Army company, who offered up but one pray er, always the same, until It became de cidedly monotonous to his comrades. The prayer was, "O, Lord, sweep the cobwebs off my soul," and he did not change it until one day the captain fol lowed with a solemn supplication to the Lord not only to sweep off the cobwebs, but to kill the spider. "That's what we are going to do," said the speaker. "We can see the cobwebs, poverty, disease, crime, degeneracy, idiocy, all about us, and we believe that the best way to be rid of them is to kill the spider." Prohibition prohibits in New Zealand, according to Miss Hughes. "In no place where we have voted out the sa loons have they been voted back again; but each election the majority for "no license" mounts higher. "We are now within five per cent of the vote neces sary to rid our country of saloons, breweries and distilleries, and once we are rid of them, - with . 1200. miles of water between us and the nearest land where liquor is sold, we believe we will have n6 trouble in staying dry," she said- -..,:;'.- PRIVATE PHONE EXCHANGE MAESHALL 4600 or A 6101 SpecialsToday in Pure Food Grocery PrIONE ORDERS TAKEN FROM Eastern Sugar-Cured Hams, pound 011I7 18 Fancy Large Prunes on sale at, 2 pounds 21 Tryphosa, for dessert, 5 10c packages, 25tf Shredded Cocoanut, special, a pound at 17t Best Corn Starch, 5 packages for only J5 Dry Lima Beans, special, ZV2 pounds at Macaroni, large packages, special at only JA)C Pearline in this sale 3 packages for only J5C SALOON NEAR END Speaker Sees Finish of Liquor Traffic in Decade.

WOMEN ARE EULOGIZED Rer. D. H. Trimble Speaks on Tem perance Organization in Sermon. "The Woman's Christian Temperance Union An Appreoiatlon" was the subject of the sermon by tev. ueiraer H. Trimble, at Centenary Methodist Church yesterday morning, and in the course of his talk declared that the great convention in Portland is typical of the great work and influence of women on moral life of the Nation. Dr. Trimble declared further that in the hands of women the uplift of the Nation depends. "The influence of the Woman s Christian Temperance Union," said Dr. Trimble, "has been far-reaching in the past, but the end is not here. Wo men are working for the preservation of their own womanhood and the moraj salvation of the race. How often have they given man their life and love only to receive ashes in return, and it Is no wonder woman strives for moral reforms. We need noble, pure woman hoofl. who will stand for the right whether men will or not. She alone can pull man up. She alone can make men do right. You set the high mark, the standard, and yu can compel him to measure up to that standard." Dr. Trimble Bald that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union uses four great weapons in its work education, agitation, legislation and salvation, all four being closely allied. The public schools, he said, are teaching temper ance through textbooks introduced through the influence of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and fur ther, agitation is ceaseless for the cause of temperance. Dr. Trimble paid high tribute to the women who are attending the National convention nowin session in Portland. W.C.T.U. Sidelights AAts. ELLA HOOVER THACHER. I I of Florence, N. J., superintendent of the work among soldiers and sailors, is being visited frequently dur ing her leisure hours by soldiers from Vancouver. In the course of her work In many parts of the world, Mrs. Thacher has met hundreds of Army of ficers, and among them are officers now stationed at Vancouver. Among them she is known as "Mother Sun shine." and they never fail to pay her a visit when she is near where they are stationed. Singing by the congregation at the convention sessions is being led by Miss Rose Bower, of South Dakota, an ex pert cornetist. With a silver cornet, which she plays exceptionally well. Miss Bower takes the place of the church pipe organ. Her cornet has been dec orated with an attractive white ribbon bow. Much interest centers around the grand diamond medal oratorical con test, which has been arranged for Wednseday night at the White Temple. Contestants will be medal-winners from California, Oregon, Washington, Iowa and Indiana. The winner of the con teat will be awarded a diamond medal. The contest will be held under the di rection of the regular W. C. T. U. or ganization. ' The plan of holding morning depart ment meetings.

Mrs. Edith Smith Davis caused amusement last night at the young people's service when she announced that she was going to give her listen ers some inside information on the Jeffries - Johnson prizefight in Reno. Her announcement was that King Al cohol and not Jack Johnson knocked Jeffries out. She said she knew be fore the fight that Jeffries would be knocked out because she had seen his name On a Los Angeles saloon win dow. "And that has been the fate of all the prizefighters from John L. Sulli van on down," she said in conclusion. Equal suffrage will be given a hear ing at the convention session of Thursday afternoon. Discussion will be Invited on two general subjects. The first will be, "Some reasons why the women of Oregon, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kansas and Michigan are campaign ing for the ballot." The second is, "Some advantages of Woman's ballot in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and California." HOW NATURE CURES CONSTIPATION And War Dross Are Belnsj Used Less and Less For That Purpose. The custom of Internal Bathing for keeping the intestines pure, clean and free from poisonous matter curing constipation, biliousness and the more serious diseases which they bring on has become so universally popular, and so scientifically correct in its applica tion, as to merit the most serious con sideration. Drugs for this purpose have proven that their doses must be constantly in creased to be effective, that they force Nature instead of assisting her, and, once taken, must be continued.
