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 .

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."

NO CHANGE LIKELY
W. C. T. 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.

that cryptic poet with telling .effect as
well as Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson,

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

Anecdotea Are Told.
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- -..,:;'.-

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

that she was going to give her listen
ers some inside information on the

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

the prizefighters from John L. Sulli
van on down," she said in conclusion.

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.
On the contrary, the scientifically
constructed Internal Bath gently as
sists Nature, but is infinitely more
thorough in its cleanliness than any
drug, no matter what its nature.
The J. B. L. Caaeade, which is now
being used and praised by thousands
and prescribed by many eminent phy
sicians, is now jelng shown and ex
plained by Woodard, Clarke Co.,
DrDKKlsta, Wood-Lark Bids;.. Alder
Street, at Weat Park. Portland.
Its action is s simple and natural
as to immediately appeal to all com
mon sense. That is the reason for its
great and deserved popularity.
