TRUE CHRISTIANS WANTED IteLiglon Mast Be Practical and Transforming:, Avers Congrega tional Pastor--"Men and Wom en Who Save Day," Topic. "Our twentieth century life, with ita hurry and its worry, with its waste and its wickedness, with its trials and its tragedies, is pleading eloquently, pathetically, persistently for men and women to save it from its perils and Bins and follies," said Dr. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of the First Congrega tional Church, in his sermon last night on "Men and Women Who Save the Day." "This plea is not made in words nor In desires, but in needs. The human race, as such, is incapable of taking care of itself, and is not profoundly concerned about saving itself. Neither Is it very anxious for anyone else to save it. Social World Has Injustice. in tne world or labor there are many would-be leaders who, professing1 to be the friends of the workingman. are, in reality, only the enemies of all who feel that those who toil have not their rights. The workingman on the cross Is mocked by these demagogues. "In the social order there is much gross injustice. The social order is in need of men and women who can save the day. "Many others are pleasure-mad, with even their love of amusements vitiated and with an utter loss of the taste for higher things. They need to be saved from all that ruins their lives. "Even in religion there are many things from which those who profess and call themselves Christians need to be saved. Religion Needs Explained. "Too many are making religion mean creed and dogma and services rather than & reproduction of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. "Now the men and women who are to save the day themselves must be genu ine. -A cloistered religion can never pave the world. Religion must be anti septic, natural, practical, transforming, powerful. "Then, again, men and women who save the day must be in contact with life as it actually is. Proxy service will never accomplish the task. "Finally, they must have their Savior and light from God and co-operate with him. "In the real and best sense, only God can save us, but he will do it through the lives of those who he fills with himself." The truth la onr aim, even If we mlu It.

ROSE SERMON IS TOPIC Flower Typifies the Beautiful, Says Rev. Mr. Hawkins. i That Portland is called the "Rose City" instead of the "Lumber City," the "Grain City" or the "Fruit City" be cause the rose has aspects of beauty and religion and not the commercialism characteristic of the other specialities for which Portland is famous, was the principal argument made by Rev. S. R. Hawkins, pastor of the Central Chris tian Church yesterday morning. The sermon subject was "The Rose Festival and the Rose of Sharon." "It is fitting that the annual festive season of our city derive its date and gather its inspiration and charm from the rose which bursts forth in the month of June with such marvelous beauty and abundance," said Rev. Mr. Hawkins. "Why do I say this? Is not Port land one of the world's greatest lum ber export markets? As a grain market it has few rivals. Portland is justly famous for the quantity and quality of fruit which she annually exports, to say nothing of other valuable products which she sends over the world. "But lumber and wheat and hops and livestock belong wholly to this world. They appeal only to the flesh. We value them because we can con vert them into gold, and the gold into that which the flesh may utilize and enjoy. "The rose though material is not, except in a most restricted sense, a commercial product. We cultivate the roses for their beauty and fragrance, and for decorative purposes, to beautify the home, to decorate the office, the Etore, the banquet hall, the church and even the graves of our beloved who have passed from earth. "The roses of Portland, like the roses of Sharon, stand for the beautiful In life, in art, in conduct and character. They stand for the good and pure. Nothing is freer from sham and shod dlness, and deceit than a newly-opened rose, fresh from the hand of nature's God. "The roses stand for unselflshness, for charity and for love. They seek not to withhold their beauty and fragrance from any passer-by. They appeal neither to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, nor the pride of life, but to the noblest and best that Is in man. "Like the prophets of old, the roses peak the language of God to the spirits of men. They are, indeed, the major prophets of the flower kingdom. Every bursting bud of the springtime Is a prophet of God, proclaiming to the world that God is and that he is good." Locals and Personals MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD Tribute Paid Salvation Army Mem . bers Lost in Sblpwreck.

IIGOMING'TOPIG Sunnyside Church Holds Spe cial Services. WORK DONE IS REVIEWED Tor baby's comfort- Adv. Santiseptic Lotion. Rev. J. J. Staub, Pastor 22 Years, Urges Greater Activity for Future. Members Who First Met In Hall Sow Have $42,000 Edifice. The first annual "home coming" services were held yesterday in the Sunnyside Congregational Church, of which Rev. J. J. Staub, has been pastor for the last 22 years. A children's service has held at the morning hour. The Kndeavorers con ducted services at 6:30 P. M. At the evening service Rev. Mr. Staub de livered the "home coming" address on the topic, "Welcome Home." He spoke of the achievements of the last 22 years and outlined increased activity for the future. A musical programme was rendered. Many elderly members were taken to the church in automobiles. At the close of the services there was a re ception and home coming greeting. Church Started Work In Hall. It was in Meade's hall, 22 years ago, that Rev. Mr. Staub began his work in the Sunnyside district, with a few members. Meetings afterwards were held in Hunters' hall. Later a frame church was built at the northeast corner of Fast Taylor and East Thirty-fourth streets. This building was used until erection of the present stone edifice at East Thirty second and Fast' Taylor streets at a cost of 142,000. The old church was given to the Waverleigh Heights Congregational Church, and is located at East Thirty third and Ellsworth streets. During the 22 years ministry there has never been thought of change of pastors, and 'Dr. Staub is reported to be stronger with his people today and with the community than, ever before. Chorch Departments Active. Among the most active bodies of the church are the Women's Aid Society, the Men's League, the Endeavor So ciety, the Climbers and the Missionary Society. It was through the Men's League mainly that the erection of the stone church was financed and made possible, although every organiza tion "pushed at the wheel." Rev. Mr. Staub has an automobile, which he uses effectively In his work as pastor. Calls are made quickly, but oftentimes the machine is loaded with provisions for some needy family and carries the needed gifts as well as sewing in the works of cheer and comfort. EXERCISES T0 BE.

HABIT IS ALL POWERFUL REV. It. N. JFLEAX PREACHES SEC OND SERMON OF" SERIES. Man Cannot Drink or Let It Alone at Will, Providing; Initial Pathway la Worn Deeply Eoongk. '. "No man can do as he pleases unless he pleases far enough back in his men tal history. For a man to say he can drink or let it alone is not only non sense, but unscientific. The man never lived who could drink long enough and then break the habit. As soon think of changing the course of the Columbia River." So said Rev. R. N. McLean, pastor of the Anabel Presbyterian Church, in his sermon last night on "Habit," the sec ond of a series on the "Morality of the Mental." "Every sensation, every thought, re sults in action. Mental activity results in bodily activity always. The rushing of a sensation along a sensory nerve to the brain may be compared to the rush ing of a spark along an electric wire to a powder-house. There is a dis charge, the sensation making for itself a pathway through the nerve center. A second and a similar sensation tends to follow the same pathway until it is worn to a deep furrow. The action is then a habit. "A teamster strikes a stone. He swears. It is a conscious, deliberate act- A new furrow is plowed. The next annoying sensation that-enters the brain tends to discharge along the same pathway. Finally the profanity is as instantaneous as the crack of a gun. It is a habit. "Our characters are the sums of our habits and our habits are the results of our mental processes. Habits we must form, for most of our actiorfs-. roiiow worn pathways."

GOSPEL IS URGED Bishop Bell Says Nation Other wise Cannot Develop. REAL FREEDOM IN TRUTH Public Schools, Declares Church man, Should Xot lie Neutral on Question of Religion Super ficial Thinking: Deplored. "The aspirations of nntlnna fn. veldpment and advancement can never be gratified without the a-osnnl f Jesus Christ, which is the touchstone of all human progress and which has uitea civilization from hrhHm said Bishop William M. Bell in his con ference sermon yesterday In the First united Brethren Church, East Fif teenth and East Morrison strnot. Bishop Bell reviewed the tendency of the times toward the theory of evolu tion, encouraged, he said, by the public ounouia ana -oiner agencies, and de clared these tpriHAnpi,, - A doubt and away from the fact that man s origin was nigner than the ape and monkey from God himself! "It is said that the nations are not coming to Christ." said Bishop Bell, "for the reason that we have a lot of pedantic, superficial thinking and scholarship. The public schools ought not be neutral. We cannot be neutral. The church cannot stand neutral on the question of religion. We have, too mucn pieasure-ioving and wealth-seeking in this world. Superficial Thinking; Too Common. The schools cannot discard the king shin of Jesun ChrtRfr xri K a . An much superficial thinking by those who tell us that the old-fashioned re ligion has passed away and that the nucjai ciuos nave taaen its place. "There has been tinkering with the Bible, but the ultimatum of religion Is that truth shall make us free. The church should be thoughtful. The church should meet all modern condi tions in the Industrial and social world. We must be doers as "well as think ers, or we shall not get anywhere. The place of Christ is in our social and business life. He is the one who can heal our wrongs and make us a happy people. No nation has ever reached the heights of civilization without Christ- Look over the leading nations for illustration of this fact. Adequate Leadership Essential. "Dancing never makes a happy peo ple. The tango never leads people to happiness. Champagne suppers never help anybody. The accumulation of millions of dollars does not bring happiness and prosperity to tbe nation. So today, as we go back to our fields, let us consecrate ourselves anew to the cause and make more adequate leadership of our ministry In the new year before us.
