16 TTTR MORTrrXG ORERONTAN, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1914. NEW WESTMINSTER CHURCH DEDICATED 1500 Attend Formal Conse cration of Presbyterian House of Worship. HARMONY IS EXEMPLIFIED ir. Marcotte, PaMor, Praises Work men Who Toiled Without I'sing Profane Lansaagc on Edifice. ' Church's History Related. Dedicatory services-of the new West minster Presbyterian Church, East feeventeenttl.'and Schuyler streets, yes terday mornin? were attended by a congregation that taxed the audito rium, fully 1500 being accommodated. In the evening a platform meeting was held, which also was well attended. Rev. Henry Marcotte, the pastor, was In charge. He was assisted by the trus tees and members. The morning programme was opened by a double quartet. "Christ la Our Cornerstone." Rev. J. A. P. McQaw, r. t., read the scripture lessons. The soprano solo by Miss Klfrieda Heller "Weinstein, "Let the Bright Seraphim," filled the great auditorium with- mel ody. The dedication was by Dr. Mar cotte. "Harmony" Theme of Talk. "I have a few words to say this morning," said Dr. Marcotte, "and what I have to say is based on the word Harmony,' which tells the whole story of the erection of this church from start to finish. I have never worked with a more efficient .building commit tee nor a more loyal congregation than during the time this beautiful church has been under construction. And, again, I want to say a word about the men who built this church. From the architects to the men who laid the foundation, the concrete, the stone and fixed the glass they have worked in harmony. During that time there has been no profane language used by the 'workmen. "I want to thank the building com mittee, the men who made the erection of this church possible, the Joyal men and women, the boys and the girls and the men who did the work on the build ing for their efficient service from the start." Then followed the dedicatory prayer by Dr. J. R. Wilson and formal dedica tion by the pastor, when the financial statement was made by Samuel P. Lockwood, chairman of the trustees and building committee. Mr. Lock wood reviewed the causes which led up to the erection of the building. "It was the overcrowding of the Sun flay school department in the old church. said Mr. Lockwood. "which necessitated the movement for the new and larger building. It was at a ban quet held in 1910 that the campaign for the new church was started. One man who said that he could not make speech, made the first subscription of KnthuMlasm Enlarscd Plana. "It was first proposed to build a 140. 000 church, but this plan was enlarged to io.uou, and when the plans were finally adopted they were far in ad vance of what had been proposed, it be ing the idea to build for the future. Subscriptions to the amount of $65,000 were secured in the first campaign, which came from 84 individuals, aver aging 500 each. Subscriptions to the amount of about 190.000 were secured and the sum of $40,000 was borrowed to complete the church. The church and grounds cost about $140,000. nut our worK is not nnished by any means. Some time in the future we shall erect on the vacant portion of this oiock another building for the Sunday Ei nooi department, with a court be tween It and the present church. We have been careful and have gone ahead witn tne building as we had the mnnev There are some obligations to pay for which we have subscriptions, all of which are due. Alter tne offertory Rev. John H. -Boya. .D. u., pastor of the First Preslw terian Church, delivered the dedicatory eermon. nis suDject being, "The Dynam ic force of the Efficient Church, or the t-'riving Power of the Church." Dr. Koyd reviewed the development of re ligion and pointed out the problems the church is called on to face at present He said that the great dynamic force today was, as it had always been, the , gospel of Jesus Christ. Mayor Albee Speaker. .vt the evening meeting addresses were delivered by Rev. H. S. Temole ton, a former pastor; Mrs. A. Bradshaw, a cnaricr member; Mayor Albee. Rev. . H. Oxtoby and others.

Westminster Presbyterian Church was founded in 18S9. when a Sunday school was organized, and the prelim inary organization was effected in 1S92. and at a meeting held at ihphnm. of Judge .Belltnger it was -decided to' build at Fast Tenth and Weidler streets. Rev. W. P. Miller was first pactor. Rev. H. S. Templetori was sec ond pastor and he was succeeded by Jiev. Henry Marcotte. the present pas tor, who has been in charge for aMlttle more than 10 years. The church is thoroughly reorgan r ized. Mayor Albee is one of the teach ers in the Sunday school and he has had a class of boys for many years. The building committee Is composed of: Chairman. S. P. Lockwood; J. L. Bow man. A. E. Doyle. Albert Brix. G. s Carpenter. L. E. Kern. J. P. Porter and Dr. Marcotte. E. F. Lawrence and W. G. Holford were the architects. No general contract was let. and honor is the man with the "left handed" religion," said Rev. E. S. Bollinger, pastor of the Highland Con gregational Church. preaching last night on "Left-Handed Religion." "The "right hand' means the most honorable, powerful; also the warmest and brightest, because it is on the South side. The "left hand' is next, on the Jsorth, but not so warm and in the shadows. "A man's religion is his spiritual power and ability to use it. A man may have religion that will 'give him and his friends hope in the hour of death, but a practical religion is also working thing, hence mv definition for religion. ' ' Your spiritual power is left-handed when your strongest and best powers are devoted to the things dominated by honor and riches. Riches and honor were never intended for the strongest and best side of humanity. Whenever man places them in his rleht hand there is awkwardness, distress and oss. The religion of our Nation lias been left-handed while the right hand has delved into the marvellous re sources of our own and adjacent lands The results are the extremely awkward situations in Colorado and on the sea and land borders of Mexico. Our left-handed religious nonnlo are giving the churches much trouble wnen tney wish to advertise their goods. The world forgets that there is considerable of this left-handed religion inherited." WORK OF CHURCH PRAISED FOE OF LIQUOR SPEAKS EUGENE TV. CUAFI.V LECTURES IN CilPSY SMITH TABERNACLE. WorlUngman Who Patronises Saloon Helps Buy Silks for Dealer's Wife Is Argument. ' freulction that Oregon. California, and Washington would adopt prohibi tion amendments; this Fall was made yesterday afternoon by Eugene W. Charm, former Prohibition candidate for President of the United States, in his address at the GIdsv Smith taber nacle, facathing denunciation of sa loons and liquor dealers characterized tne speech, which dealt with the eco nomic side of the linuor traffic. Mr. Chafin said that all gambline dens and disorderly houses received protection irom tne police and other city offl cials. "A saloon man cannot join the Ma sons, the Oddfellows, or any fraternal order, said Mr. Chafin. "You would not ailow them in your churches. Be cause they were barred from -other or ders, they recently organized a society, caiiea tne Ancient and Independent Or der of Eagles.- They should have called it tne Order of Buzzards. Some of the unions refuse to line up with the Prohibitionists because of sympathy with the Bartenders' Union. The Bartenders' Union is a lot of con solation to the widow when her bus band goes to a drunkard's grave. The bartender's sympathy is tinged with a oil or joy that the dead drunkard helped him to hold his job because he was a union man. "If the laboring classes line up with the saloons they will ally themselves with all kinds of vice. -The saloons are hand in hand with the dens where women are sold. The, police know about all those dens. They are protected by tne ponce and other city officials. Prohibition has made greater strides during the last 15 months than during the previous 30 years. Last year naiser William, or Germany, an nounced that he had become a total abstainer, because he could do less work when he used liquor. Secretary of State Bryan did a thing that a few years ago seemed undreamable when -he served grapejuice instead of wine at diplomatic dinner. Secretary of the Navy Daniels went farther than even the Prohibitionists when he forbade officers in the navy to use liquor. An other thing that will favor us in this election is women's suffrage. From seventy to eighty per cent of the women will vote for the Prohibition amendment. "The liquor interests and those em ployed by them are not producers. They do nothing to produce food, cloth ing or shelter. On the contrary, they take the produce of the real workers. The drunkard whose wife stayed at home today because she had no pre sentable clothes has spent his money buying a ftilk dress for the saloonman's wife. His children went barefoot last Winter that the saloonman's family mignt be wen shod. The expense of caring for the crimi nals, the insane and paupers produced by liquor exceeds the profits of the Na tion from licenses. The proper thing is to send the saloonmen to Alaska. Let them raise food there, instead of rals lng hell here. "The greatest battle of the Prohibi tlon cause will he fought this year. California will go "dry" by 100.000 ma Jority. Oregon will adopt the Prohibi tion amendment by 25,000 majority, and Washington will line up with us." Mr. Chafin urged a house-to-house canvass of Portland by the Women's Christian- Temperance Union. A. C. Newill presided at the meeting. CHURCH TEST IS TOPIC REV. AV. G- ELIOT PREACHES EFFICIENCY OF RELIGIONS. Clergyman nym Day Has Paaed When Good In Others 1m Denied Because Their Views Differ. "The Test for the Churches" was the subject of the sermon preached last night by Rev. "W. G. Eliot, Jr., at the Church of Our Father, Unitarian. "In so far as the newspapers an nounced the sermon themes for thi Portland pulpits today it was signifi cant that almost every topic evidently bore upon some real human need. Is it not true that the preaching of the day is more and more answering to one supreme test, though we may never have formulated it to ourselves? "Is not that test simply this: How far is this or that church truly dlscerir- ing and truthfully and effectively meet ing the deepest necessities of the hu man soul? it may be said that this test amounts to nothing, for the reason that no church in a free land can force the test on any other church, and that each church, speaking for itself, would de clare it met the test. Even If this is so. it is still to be remembered that a higher power is testing all of us. It la something to know what the test is. It puts the emphasis in the right place. "Whatever the differences of admin istration there will always be some thing of the same spirit among churches that are freely and honestly striving to meet that test. The faithful striving to meet that test teaches all churches that they have much to learn from each other, and that though we honestly dif fer it is no longer impossible to seeany good in those from whom w differ."

MINISTRY IS LAUDED Dr. Hinson Completes 4 Years' Service at White Temple. Outlook Is Full of Promise, Says Pastor in Anniversary Message. Words of Appreciation. Spoken by Members of Congregation. - The fourth anniversary of the pas torate of Dr. Walter Benwell Hinson was observed at the White Temple yes terday morning: by a congregation which thronged the church. Follow ing the service the Rev. Mr. Hinson was showered with enthtusiastic con gratulations. 'Today we celebrate the completion of our fourth year of service together," said Dr. Hinson. "Four years of life and labor! Much has been done. More has been done by this church in this time, than by any othef church I have knowledge of. You -have aided God much in work abroad. And also in work at home. You have ministered to the sick, the hungry, and the unemployed. You have not talked much about your ministering; but' you have continuously ministered. Sermons Are Sent Abroad. "You have sent abroad over this land more than 7.000.000 copies of the ser mons that have been preached in your own church. And about 1.000.000 copies of sermons that you have listened to in The White Temple, have been pub lished in your own denominational paper. And over 1,000.000 copies of al- ticles expressive of some phase of reli gious truth and experience, have been scattered abroad. "Over 1300 have been added to your fellowship during these four years; the minority of whom came by letter. And you have stood for the Truth of God; the sacredness of the Church of Christ; the saving death of the Son of God; and the necessity of the New Birth. ro friction has marred your service for the Master. Great has been your joy as you have experienced the manifold blessings of the Great Father. Hun dreds of your homes have been visited by the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Your outlook is full of promise. All youi services are well attended. There is among you no troubling root of bitterness. -Every week you send out over 80,000 copies of the sermons, for which you pay by virtue of the min istry you sustain. "You must rise to this high calling of yours in Christ Jesus. You must be more; do more; give more: that you may receive more. So let each one con secrate himself fully to the service of God. For the times are evil; and the day of opportunity approaches its twi light; and the King s business requires haste and the King is at hand. "With deep appreciation of your kindness to me;, and with sincere re gret that I have not better served you: and with heartiest goodwill to ach one of you; I am proud to continue as your pastor." A. L Venule Replies to Message. Representatives of the congregation spoke words of appreciation. On be half of church at large. A. L. Veazie replied to the pastor's message as follows: "During four years one. -of the mighty preachers of our day has stood in this pulpit, and with the simplicity of i great mind and the strength of a con secrated heart, he has made manifest the power of eternal Christian truth upon the lives of men and women. With dignity yet with fervor, with unbend-- ing fidelity yet with warmth of human sympathy and tenderness, have the messages of the gospel been delivered to us. What it has meant in some of the ways that statistics but hint at, you may see in the pastor's message today. "What of the future? The earnest desire of everyone in this communion is that' the relation of pastor and peo ple which has been so signally blessed shall endure through the years to come. It is with Joy and hope and bright ex pectations that we look forward to such a continuance. "A great privilege it is to support such a ministry and to give its benefits to the wide .field it serves. But truly to second it and sustain it and complete it, as a. church membership ought In life and act and word and prayer that were a privilege indeed! It belongs to each of us for the taking. I feel that we are falling short; and that unless we rise better to meet them, we may hereafter mourn the lost opportunities of these good days. "Let us rally round our pastor on this glad Lord's day with words of ap preciation for what his four year's faithful ministry here has meant to us." -v PIONEER, 83, IS HONORED Birthday of H. II.

Unrein, in charge or t-ne work, has reported to Mr. Churchill that there are now more than 9000 FIRE DAMAGE IS $1000 Origin or Blazo at Bay City Restau rant Not Known. Kire of doubtful origin damaged the Bay City Restaurant, 17 Fourth street, to about 100u, for which it was in sured, shortly after 3:30 o'clock yes terday morning. Patrolman Ford saw the blaze and turned in an 'alarm, then broke into the place and tried to find the source of the flames. -Inasmuch as the fire in the ranges had been cleaned out, and there was no stove from which the blaze might have started, the management of the restaurant. is at a loss as to account for it.

Dreadful Persecutions bjr Roman Catholics Declared by Dr. Irveland Result of Esjotlsm. "Kodak yvlews are Interesting but unreliable," said Dr. Frank L, Loveland, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, in speaking before his con gregation at Third and Taylor streets last night on "The Profit and Peril of Kodak Views of Christianity." "They give only a sectional view of any ob ject. The kodak lens Is not qualified to visualize big things mountains are too big for such cameras. " "Snap shots' are inadequate to a correct view of a moving object. Only as these snap-shot views are co-related to that which precedes and follows as In the moving picture is the picture tru to life. "Christianity more than any other one thing, has been subjected to the 'kodak' peril. Multitudinous "views' have een snapped, and these have been exploited as the - only complete and Infallible views of the gospeL "Any view of Christianity may be profitable, if properly catalogued and given its right setting. Such views may be perilous if they grow egotisti cal and claim the right to the whole gallery. "Sectarianism is often born of partial views of Christianity. Intolerance is the offspring of ignorance and egotism. The Puritans banished the Quakers on the assumption that the Puritan view of God was perfect beyond cavil. The dreadful persecutions to which. tb,e Roman Catholics subjected the world originated in an egotism that asserted itself as the one only exponent of Jesus Christ, and that all others were heretics and enemies of God."
