TIIE 3IORNTNG- OREGOXIAN, MONDAY. APRIL 13, 1014. 9 IfflCLES NATURAL, LECTURER ASSERTS Wonderful Works Operation of Law, Not Contradiction, View Expressed. BRIGHT COSTUMES AND DAINTT DECORATIONS OBSERVED ON EASTER DAY IN PORTLAND. GREATER DEEDS EXPECTED Progress Due to Obedience and Pos sibilities of Infinite Law Not Yet Fully Realized, Says Willis F. Gross. That the miracles related in the Bible "were not brougrht about through sus pension of the laws of nature," but "were the divinely natural result of the operation of law," was the statement made by Willis F. Gross, C. S. B., who lectured on Christian Science yesterday afternoon in First ChurcH of Christ, Scientist. Mr. Gross will repeat his lecture thin evening and tomorrow eveninar at 8 o clock. In introducing the lecturer "Walter G. Hayes referred to the applicability of Christian Science to the emergencies of business life. He said that the un changing foundation of truth had been discerned by Mrs. Eddy and made the basis of the Christian Science church. which has now come to be recognized as a permanent church organization after 40 years of attack from other de nominations. Mr. Gross said In part: Truth Is Universal Remedy. "That mortals are materialists In theory and practice cannot be denied. While It is admitted that there Is spiritual truth yet it is held that mate rial truth, so canea, is just as real i spiritual truth, and has vastly more to do with the present life and all that tends to make this life desirable. Thought and effort have been in the main along material lines, and what bas been called progress has been in no small degree merely a change of be lief. Mortal man has been compelled to admit that much of what he at one time believed to be true Is not true. The progress he has made, the good he has attained, and the freedom he haa enjoyed, has been relative rather than absolute. "The Master's demonstrations were so varied and complete that It seems strange humanity has not seen In these healinir works the proor that tne un derstanding of truth Is the universal remedy for all the Ills of human ex perience. The failure to realize this can be accounted for only aB one con siders that these works were and are regarded as miracles 1. e., they were In some way accomplished contrary to the natural operation of the laws to which men and women of today are subject. This belief has prevented the practical demonstration of a power which is able to save from all evil. "Impossibilities do not occur. What has been done in the past can be ac complished today. If a particular re sult has followed the combination or succession of causes, that result will always follow when the same and no other Influences are at work. No man ever undertakes that which he believes to be impossible. Miracles Not Snperaatural. 'Believers in the Christian religion have accepted the miracles of the Bible as demonstrations of divine power. Christian Science presented a new view of those miracles when it declared that the wonderful works accomplished by holy men of God were not contradic tions of law. They were not brought about through suspension or the laws of nature, nor by arousing dormant forces and powers which have since re turned to their former state. Those healing works were marvelous because human experience was unfamiliar with them. Nevertheless they were the di vinely natural result of the operation of law which is ever present and ever active. Because a law Is not recog nized Is no evidence of its nonexistence, and because the operation of law is not comprehended Is no proof that the law Is inoperative. "All the progress that has ever been made, or ever will be made, is the re sult of obedience to law. The wonder ful inventions of the last century were as possible 6000 years ago as they are now. There Is no law In operation, or in existence, today that has not been in operation since time began. And there never has been a law which not in operation at this moment. If this be true, and if the works of the Master and his followers were the re sult of obedience to law. then all those works are possible today, and even greater demonstrations can be expected. for no one believes that the posslDin- . ties of infinite law have been fully real ized. "The'term Christian Science was used by Mary Baker Eddy to designate the purely spiritual method of healing which she discovered. While this sys tem of healing is not in accord with the various material methods known as medical practice, and while it does not harmonize with some of the present-day theology, nevertheless it is Christian In spirit and practice, and it is scientific It is based on divine prin ciple and can be demonstrated only as this principle is unaerstooa ana obeyed. u ' v it t" I,--'- - ' -::::::r77r7rl r"" " - -. - . , - -h - rrrr 7v"-w r h ; . -. - - f;j - '-c.r I " - .

Easter services at the First Univer salist Church yesterday brought an au dience that filled every seat to an lm creislvs service conducted by the pas tor. Rev. Dr. J. D. Corby. The choir, under the lead of Miss Crego. rendered a special programme, the regular choir being augmented by the addition of Mrs. Harry McQuade, who sang "The Lord Is My Light:" Miss Lewis and Miss Matteson. The decorations on the platform were a pair of gates in white, with the panels outlined in Oregon grape, while masses of dogwood were effectively placed at each side. When Dr. Corby announced the fecrip ture lesson, three young girls dressed in white came on the platform and re cited the Easter Scripture lesson, two of them opened the gates, dtsclostnr masses of beautiful Easter lilies against the soft green background; the girls then claced lilies on the altar, above which was the motto "He Is Risen." In his sermon Er. Corby said: "Na ture has her graves and they, too, are In her garden: from them the myriads of her dead arise, each one aa a torch along our path to the empty grave In the garden of Joseph. Never was there a flock of frightened sheep more Impo tent than those disciples who forsook and denied Jesus before their master crucifixion. To send that group of timid, unstable disciples against an or ganised empire and entrencnea laws, was like sending half a dozen lambs to capture a pack of timber wolves. But something happened that trans formed feebllngs into giants. These frightened lambs became the Hons of the tribe of Judah. The faith and church they stood for has gone forward like an advancing hummer. "Increasingly the Interest In Immor tality has grown.

The seed moves toward a sheaf. Nothing Is destroyed, nothing Is lost. But we want the door of the grave to open not merely on a longer life but a higher, more abundant life. "As you hear the Easter bells and swelling anthems, cast aside the grave clothes of habit that bind you, leave the grave of materialism or selfishness. Do not merely believe there is another world after you pass through the grave, but come into communion with Christ. Wherever you act and live In the spirit of Jesus, with tenderness, love, self sacrifice, there you rise with him, and share his joy and victory."

GRAVE IS OPPORTUNITY Christian Conception of Immortality Based- on Three Principles, Says Key. V. AV. Voungson in Easter Sermon. "The resurrection of Jesus is the most signal and splendid evidence of his divinity." said Rev. w. w, Youngson. pastor of the Rose City Park Methodist Church, yesterday morning in his Easter sermon on "The Christian Conception of Jmmortallty; a Cumulative Argument. It is the keystone in the arch of our faith. It Is the most brilliant In the constellation of Christian festivals. "The Christian conception of Immor tality Is based upon three basic princi ples: The omnipotence of God makes the resurrection possible: the analogy of nature makes Immortality probable the revelation of God makes lmmor tality certain. "We may bring the predictions of science, philosophy and religion to bear upon the supernatural disclosure of the Scriptures, the corporeal resurrection of Christ, the analogy of nature, the righting of inequalities and the good ness of God. But it will be a mistake to rest so vast a problem exclusively on any one simple phase of universal truth. CamalsuV Annuint Necessary. "No one of the arguments alone car ries conviction to all minds at all times; but, when one takes the grand cumulative argument, commencing and grounding itself in the hard. cold, do main of science, rising up through the vast realm of philosophy to. the moral and theological climax, faith then finds she has a solid pyramid of confirmed truth on which to rest. "Human philosophy dared to teach the Immortality of the soul, but the Idea of the resurrection of the body was beyond the power of human philosophy. No . voice of human philosophy ever returned to tell us where the mighty millions of the dead are, but Christ came to bring the assurance of life and Immortality. God's Gflodness Is Pledge. "God's attributes of wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, truth ana blessedness are all pledged to man's immortality. As Rousseau once sum marised it: 1 believe in God as fully aa I believe In any other truth. If God exists, he Is perfect; if he is per fect, be Is wise, almighty and just; if be is just and almighty, my soul is Ira mortal.' "In that last solemn crisis that Is steadily and surely approaching each one of us, this, perhaps, will be our greatest confidence of living hereafter the character of God. especially his goodness. "Do I dread death, fear death? Why, the grave is the doorway of oppor tunity." MARCH BEATS RAIN Easter Bonnets and Gowns Are of Brilliant Hues. GIRL LURES MAN TO JAIL 'Masher" Gets SO Days for Accost ing Clever Saleswoman. NEW YORK, April 9 James Cape- ran, who said he had arrived only re cently in New York for a few days on business, and that he is a prominent business man of Syracuse, was sent to Blackwell's Island for 30 days by Mag istrate Murphy in Jefferson Market Court for "mashing." The complainant was Miss Irma Evans, 19 years old, a salesgirl, who lives at 236 West Twenty-fourth street. Miss Evans said that she was walking home last night after having visited friends, when she was accosted by Caperan at Seventh avenue and Thirty fifth street. She told the magistrate that she tried to outdistance the man. but he persisted In following her. and finally seized her by the arm. She said she was sure of finding Po liceman Eiman. of the West Seven teenth street station, on "peg post at Seventh avenue and Thirty-third street so she decided to lure the man on until they heard the policeman. Her plan worked and Caperan was arrested. He pleaded guilty in court. the Arising From the Raaks. Pelican. Tom He certainly rose from ranks. Jerry So? Tom Yes. he used to bo a cigar- maker. City Attorney's Opinion Makes It Xecessarj- to Test Law, bnt Funds Are on Hand to Make Pay ments, Avers Executive. latter provision it is said to be in conflict with the city charter. Under its jerms policemen may be paid bene fits for Illness or Injury or may be penstoned for life after certain terms of service. At the present a number of men are entitled to life pensions, among these being Joseph Day. a de tective sergeant, and Ben Branch, chief jailer. Under the provisions of the law the Mayor is ex-offlclo chairman: the Chief of Police secretary and the City Treas urer its treasurer. Organization ac cordingly was made by Mayor Albee, Chief Clark and Treasurer Adams, and the first meeting was held last Sep tember. Two subsequent sessions were held, with the result that on Monday, December 15, the board submitted to City Attorney LaRoche the question of the validity of the act. Meanwhile no claims have been paid from the fund, although all members of the police bu reau have been assessed according to Its provisions. Full payment in sal aries was made, however, until City Auditor Barbur called attention to it and declined to audit such claims or to draw the warrants for them. That every legitimate claim on the police penBlon fund will be paid was the statement of Mayor Albee yester day. There is abundant money in both the old and the new funds, he said, and the only question Is as to which one shall be requisitioned for the relief of the members of the bureau who have been sick or injured. City Attorney LaKoche's opinion to the effect that the police pension fund is faulty, merely makes necessary some action to test the case, so that the courts may decide the issue and make final Its status, said the Mayor. For years there has been a police and firemen's pension fund, created by pay ment of a fraction of each employe's monthly salary. In the fund there Is about S10.000; this will be placed In the new fund if the pension law Is held valid, or the new will be refunded to the members who have been paying a percentage under Its provisions, or some such solution will be worked out. The only Inconvenience, therefore, to result from the present situation is the delay in paying claims. "I am anxious to have the subject decided." said Mayor Albee. "and I trust that this may speedily be brought about, as I am in favor of prompt pay ment of all proper claims." The pension law under contest was passed by the 191 J Legislature . It seeks to create a fund by a fractional lax on salaries ef those who come un der Its provisions and by the appro priation of a certain per cent of license incomes of the city.
