With impressive ceremonies the cot- nerstone of the new Academy of the Holy Child Jesus, at JEast Fifty-fourth street between Sanay boulevard and Alameda avenue, was laid yesterday. Archbishop Christie presided and de livered an address. He was assisted by President Gallaher, of Columbia University. Fathers Hush B. Gallaher, Conaty. McMullen, Darby, Quinlan, deLorimer, Murphy, Daly and others. The stone was placed in position by John Elmeter, contractor. A copper box containing: outline of the purposes of the institution, church records, city papers, and other memen toes were placed in the stone. Th Cathedral choir, in charge of Professor Frederick Goodrich, rendered the music. Following the ceremony the audience gathered on the basement floor, where Rev. Father Conaty,' rector of St Ros Parish, where the institution is being built, delivered an address in which he congratulated Archbishop Christie on the establishment of another edu cational institution in the diocese of Oregon. Aim of Institution Told, "This is an institution which stands for and fosters intellectual develop ment," said Father Conaty. "It will teach the head and heart together. In this institution the girls will be ben efited for life through religious in struction. Its Influence will be wide spread. It will be a center of light. It will be an Inspiration for all." These devoted sisters have come from afar to build up this school, to devote their lives and efforts to Chris tian education and for service," said Judge Kavanaugh. "Work is the basis of all success. We should work as if life never ended, yet work for eter nity. The girls who come here will emerge In the full beauty of woman hood under the direction and inspira tion of these teachers. We should welcome these Sisters and make them feel that we need them and that they are appreciated in their fine mission. "The people of the diocese of Ore gon, Portland and Rose City Park are to be congratulated upon this cere mony," said Archbishop Christie, "for ' it will be an Institution devoted to Christian education of children. Reasons for School Given. "The public schools are devoted wholly to secular education and let them confine their efforts to that. We Catholics do not believe the system perfect and hence we nave established schools which teach the heart and mind, which we consider the ideal method. We pay taxes for the public schools and then tax ourselves to maintain our schools. "Judge our schools by what they do, They make patriotic citizens, and pro tect the homes and institutions of Oregon. Our people are loyal to Ore gon. The order which will conduct this school is among the foremost in this and other countries. Let us sup port and co-operate with these Sisters. After music by the Cathedral Choir the audience repaired to Rose City Park Clubhouse where a reception was held. Archbishop Christie and the 81s ters of the Order of the Holy Child Jesus met the people there. The basement of the academy has been completed. It covers a space 100 by 50 feet There will be three stories above the basement Hollow tile will be used in the walls. The cost will be $30,000. It stands on an elevation overlooking Portland to the west and will be an attractive struc ture. POVERTY OF INDIA TOLD V. M. C. A. Worker Says 40,000,000 Lie Down Hungry Each Xight. "Forty millions of people in India lie down on mud floors every night hungry, declared George Sherwood Eddy, International secretary of the T. M. C. A. in Asia, in his speech- to men at the Portland Y. M. C. A. yesterday. "Think of it, one-half the population of the united States hungry every night! The average income, in Imlia is about $10 a year and one meal a day is the usual fortune of a, large Enare oi me people. Mr. Eddy has served for more than 15 years in missionary service in Corea, India, .China and Russia, and is one of the foremost workers of the asso elation. "The power of God and gospel is ap plicable not only In the East," he said, "but in the West; not only in Corea, India, China and Russia, but in the united States and in Portland." Following the talk, a fund was start ed to finance the sending of Lawrence Todnem, of the local T. M. C A., to India on missionary duty. More than $200 was raised and it is believed that $1000 will be raised during the pres ent week. The local association is supporting a missionary in China. MAN'S LAW HELD LACKING Spiritualist Says All Children Should Be Made Legitimate. "The inadequacy of man's law is in its failure to protect the child from the Bins of the parents," said the Rev. Esther T. Bozley, of Seattle, in her address before the First Spiritual Church in Alisky Hall yesterday. "The rightful heritage of every child is the pursuit of life, liberty and hap piness, but if the law of God has been violated and outraged by the parents, Nature will demand her toll from the child. "One wrong should not be permitted to beget another. It should be righted by making all children legitimate un der the law of man, as they are under the law of God. All nature is the voice of God, the law of God is love and the law of man must adjust itself in con formity thereto." The First Spiritual Church will hold its annual celebration in commemora tion of the advent of Modern Spiritual ism next Sunday, and the services will be followed by a banquet The Rev. Mrs. Bozley is acting as , temporary pastor of the church. Vice i President Armstrong presided at the ', cession yesterday.

MILLIONS E GIVEN Great Missionary Movement Under Way Described. PROSPEROUS ONLY ASKED When Call for Huge Sum Is Made Response Is 'So Prompt That De sired Amount Is increased and Limit ' Is Not Reached. ' l The missionary development which is contemplated and is being carried forward under the "Men and Millions Movement" was explained by the Rev. B. R. Hawkins, pastor of the Central Christian Obureb, in his Sunday morn ing: sermon. - This movement had its first big impulse about three months ago, when M. T. Reeves, of Columbus, Ohio, ordered and out of his private funds paid for a carload of automo biles to be distributed for use of the missionary evangelists in the Christian Churches of his state. Following Mr. Reeves' donation R. A. Long, of Kansas City, made an indi vidual onering of $1,000,000 to mis sions. These two gifts placed the move ment on a firm basis. It was inaug urated by the American Christian Mis- !onary Society and the Foreign Chris tian Missionary Society and later In cluded the Christian Woman's Board ot Missions. American Christian Benev olent Association, the American Chris tian Educational Association and the Board of Ministerial Relief. Fund Is Separate. The movement was originated." said the Rev. Mr. Hawkins, "with a view to procuring an extra $1,000,000 for mis sions, to be contributed in sums of not less than $500, and to be given by men and women who are prosperous and who are able to contribute liberally. it was tnougnt Dy those who ini tiated the movement that there are among our people many who are pros perous ana otners wno are wealthy who were ready cheerfully to support this enterprise or any enterprise that ap pealed to them as one having the stamp of God's approval and as being com mensurate with their means. Hence it was believed to be possible to raise the extra $1,000,000 without in any way aisturmng tne regular Income of the several societies, which is, including state, district and city mission boards, close to $2,000,000 annually. Respsnsc Is Prompt. "The movement has met with phe nomenal success. The first million was raised so quickly that the appeal was increased and oeiore the brother hood had recovered from its astonish ment and had ceased wondering at the audacity of the promoters of the move ment, even this amount was increased by a million or more at a time In rapid succession until the amount now sought s $e.uow,uuu, ana even tnis vast sum will likely be advanced to $10,000,000 within the next 15 or 20 months. "The success of the movement has ttracted the attention of the leaders SERVICE 2, FACE OF CORNERSTONE In all or nearly all the larger denomi nations. They are watching and study ing the movement with intense in terest. "Five weeks ago, when the commit tee of 300 which is engineering the movement and which represents every section of the country, met in St. Louis to discuss ways and means for further ing the campaign, prominent represent tatives of some of the denominations sought and were given admission to their conferences. One good brother said he had traveled all the way from Georgia that he might learn something of what the movement was accomplish ing and how it was being done, and added that it was worth all the Journey had cost him to look into the face of a man who had it in his heart to give $1,000,000 at a time to missions." WAR IS CALLED USELESS Rev. Mr. Fry Says Five Rations Could Put End to Fighting. "War is costly, wasteful and unnec essary, and 'five of the Christian na tions of the world could put a stop to it if they should decide that war shall be no more," said Rev. W. H. Fry, in his sermon yesterday morning In the Sunnyside Methodist Church. "The In sanity and Imbecility of War" was the subject of the sermon. Rev. Mr. Fry reviewed the fearful waste of money and life caused by war, and declared that more money Is spent in a few wars than would build all the schoolhouses, all the churches, all the academies and colleges and hospitals, clothe and feed the needy and almost banish destitution from the earth. "But men and women bestow honor on the warrior, saia tev. mr. r ry. "The common soldier is not admitted to society until he has gone out and killed people, then he receives praise and honor. There Is no need of war from any viewpoint. The world's ac tivities afford opportunity for heroic and brave deeds, without the awful waste of war, without the awful suf fering of war. The great warriors are the great human butchers of human ity." SKEPTICS ARE UPHELD Rev. James Corby Speaks Word for . Honest Doubters. "The world is greatly indebted to skeptics," said Rev. James Diamond Corby, pastor of the universalis! Church at East Twenty-fourth street and Broadway yesterday, in his sermon on 'Honest Skeptics. -unrtst was very patient with honest douoters. "It is easy to condemn skeptics like Thomas Paine, but he helped to bring in nobler Ideas of the deity and of re ligious liberty. "Manv are inclined to- rest on tne notion that revelation closed long ago; that nothing more can ever be known of God. But religion has undergone re construction. Men are not interested in the subjects which held our grand fathers transubstantiation. ' predes tination and others. When Disraeli, the great Hebrew Prime Minister of England, was asked "What is your re ligion?" he answered, It is the religion of all sensible men,' and when asked. What is that?' he said, Sensible men never say. "That is the attitude of many today. They have dismissed many of the theological questions as belnir super ficially uninteresting," - - . 3, ARCHBISHOP DELIVERING THOUGHT IS URGED Rev. Mr. Kantner Says Thinker Is Most Religious. BACONIAN MAXIM QUOTED Minister Asserts Call of Prophet for People to "Consider Their, Ways" Is Explained by Fact Wise Will Mend Faults. The unthinking man and not the thinker is least inclined to be relig ious, said Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor of the University Park Congregational Church, in his sermon last night Dr. Kantner took his text from Psalm 119:59, "I thought upon my ways and turned my feet unto thy statutes." .' "It is very evident," he said, "that the power and faculty of thinking is a most remarkable endowment. . Take away sight or hearing or both these Important senses, and the greatest endowment -yet remains, if the power to tmnk is left. "Helen Keller, bereft of sight, speech and hearing, by thinking deeply, pa tiently and broadly becomes qualified to instruct us in respect to many things of which we, possessing all these senses, nevertheless find our selves comparatively ignorant. TnotiffBt Roles World. "A celebrated American preacher once declared that God must love thought, so wonderful and divine it seems to be. Thought rules the world. The thinker is the master of men. He is the world's teacher and to him the world looks for leadership. . It is from him men learn what to do and how to go. In faet, he is the world builder, as well as the world teacher. By reason of his thinking new the ories, new inventions, new discoveries startle the world into new activities and new applications of old forces and thus the world is rebuilt along commercial, mechanical, political and social .lines. "Thinking is no inferior factor In the religious life. It is the unthink ing man who is least religious. - It is to the want f thought that much of evil is due, while depth of thought brings us to the vision of God and higher things. The Baconian maxim still holds good, 'A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy brlngeth men's minds about to religion.' What a striking illustration of this maxim did George Romanes become. His was the conversion of the thinker. '.'A, prophet of the olden time ex plained the irreligion of his day on the basis of want- of thoughtf ulness. The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib, but Israel doth not Know, my people aotn not con sider.' - "Therefore the call of many a prorfhet has been the call bidding the people, 'consider their ways." ' And this call was wise, and phll- Swedish Wafers, 2G can.
