"WAR LORD" IS CRITICISED White Temple Pastor Says It Is Duty or Americans to Demon strate That Healing Is Heav enlier Than Hurting. "The present war is the disgrace of the world," declared Rev. W. B. Hin son, in his sermon at the White Temple yesterday morning. "There is no Jus tifiable cause for It in Its first out break; there was no moral principle concerned in its initiative stages; and m vhibit such a soectacle of animal ism after 2000 years of civilizing influ ence, causes a chill of despondency to the mind and heart. "The Oregonian's cartoon of a savage reading an 'Extra From London' sug gests forcibly how uncivilized savagery might well put us to Diusn, as r-ruiea taut. Roman Catholic and Greek Cath olich Church members feel for each other's throat in grim and vindictive numose. "For animals behaving thus there would be administered correction; for children thus misconducting them selves, chastisement, and for individual men exhibiting such flagrant violation of right, such disregard of plighted faith, such ruthless waste of property and such shameful disregard of human comfort and life, there would be pen alty swift and severe. "And our ex-President Roosevelt Is Droved to be wrong in his contention that well-armed preparation for war makes for peace; and Jordan, of Stan fords statement that financial condi tions would prevent an outbreak of strife Is eauallv dlsproven; and Mr. Aked has surely become convinced that the aroused uassion of men overrioe all theories, socialistic or otherwise. Those who tell us the present strife is paving the way for a universal peace, receive scant suDDort from history, and direct contradiction from the fact that alreadv other struggles are being lore casted, in the event of victory resting either with the forces of Germany or Russia. For it is certain the world will not submit to become all Ger man or all Slav; nor will even Europe. "An examination of the cause or causes for this outbreak is well worth while, though the answers to the sug gested cause are many and diverse. Assassination in Servia, Austrian sub terfuge, German ambition, Russian diplomacy, French revenge, or English observance of treaty pledges, are all insufficient as reasons for the present war. One turns to the Bible from these discordant answers, to find James af firming that "Wars and dissension originate in the selfish, lustful heart of man.' "The real cause of this frightful con flict that bids fair to be known on history's Dage as 'The War.' is discov ered to be deeper than diplomacy or mere surface explanations; and toucn the hidden things of the inner life of man. "Fair was the world when it emerged from the workshop of the eternal; yet 1000 years ago an apostle declared that the whole creation had been so cursed by man's sin that it groaned as in pain. As well it might if men are correctly represented by the poor 'war lord,' who foolishly Jests about lunching in Paris, and commanding English armies, and wickedly urges tactics that prob ably would result in a slaughter of 50 per cent of his armies; while he toler ates ruthlessness and the sacrifice of non-combatants necessitated by the ac cursed Zeppelin. "Yet must we ever remember that under Servian, or Austrian, or German, or French, or British uniform, there is to be found our brother man, with hopes and fears and feelings alike unto our own. Herein lies a great and real call for tenderest sympathy. Not for the men alone, but for the women and the children, upon whom the terrible curse of this conflict so heavily rests. And that sympathy should be expressed not alone by prayer, but by Red Cross aid, and an enlistment in the real holy war, that asserts brotherhood; and by justice keeping step with love, to teach the rising generation that healing is heavenlier than hurting, and brute force proves naught but brute ascend ency, ...v "Yet America by steadfast purpose and loty ideals seeks to leaven the na tions with the things that make for general uplifting and universal better ment and let each one of us realize our individual responsibility as citi zens of this Republic, to see that by our own personal blamelessness we lessen the National liability toward that which is contrary to our best ideal and detrimental to man and dishonoring to God."

KAISER'S VIEW ASSAILED Pastor of Universallst Church Con tends Entire Conflict Is Wrong and Munition Manufacture Should Stop. The great war in Europe among the so-called Christian nations does not argue the failure of Christianity, be cause in many places Christianity has never yet been truly tried or applied, said Rev. James Diamond Corby, pastor of the Universallst Church, in his ser mon yesterday on the "God of Christ and the God of War." The preacher contended that the con ception of God In the minds and hearts of the leaders, who have pre cipitated the war and the people who are pursuing It, is small and inadequate. "Words are cups in which the trutn is measured," he said, "and the smaller your cup is, the less truth you have. Kaiser Called Cruel. 'In this conflict the Kaiser has in voked the aid of God and termed his 'a holy war.' How large is the word cup by which he has measured God? Has he ever thought of God as the father? The cup in which he measures God is "out the model of himself. Small, selfish, cruel. His idea of God has not advanced beyond that of the Roman Emperors. He's doing just what he believes his God would do. His deity is revenfgul, using power not love to compel humanity to bow to him, so the Kaiser does that and counts human life as nothing. 'Another word much used by rulers is 'honor. Honor means a nice sense of what is right a high standard of conduct, integrity. Who that reads the record of this wicked war can ilnd any thing corresponding with this defini tion. The acts committed in this war in the name of honor are such as when committed by an individual we term theft murder and cruelty. Patriotism Abased Word. 'Another word that has grown smaller and smaller In Europe Is patriotism. The patriot is one who upholds popular liberty, civil and reli gious; not one who destroys liberty, nor one who says 'My country, right or wrong.' "Those people term themselves Chris tians. A Christian is one whose life conforms to the teaching and practice of Christ Europe has developed ma terially much faster than it has spiritu ally. This war is the fruit of mili tarism. We have been hearing lor years that mighty armament guaran teed peace. We should launch at once a campaign to prevent the manufacture and sale of firearms and munitions of .r. Christianity Not Failure. 'A great war does not argue the failure of Christianity. Christianity in many places has yet to be tried. Present conditions emphasize that it makes all the difference in the world what an individual or a nation believes. It is very significant that of all the hordes now in mortal combat none believes that God is the father of all and none believes that all men are brothers. "There has been too much talk of the men of blood and iron. Too much leaving love out of business, out of courts, out of daily life." CHURCH'S POSITION TOLD Kev. W. W.

"In what nation outside of Christen dom is labor regarded with honor or the laborer permitted to be a self respecting man? The genius of the gospel has come down through the cen turies like Milton's 'Angel of Morning,' for along its pathway have sprung up all manner of means and institutions for the bettering of the condition of the laborer and for his assistance in nine of trouble.

Fifth and Morrison, Portland A. L. Mills, President. L. Samuel, General Manager. Extraordinary Brightest Spot" for reform, fraternal orders, labor unions, movements for social advan tages, saloons as social clubs there is one contrast which should never be forgotten the church stands forever for the two - world theory of life. It is impossible to accept a class gos pel or to deal with society on a clasB basis except as the class affords the opportunity to reach men. As the au thority of Christ is binding upon men, not as laborers or capitalists, as wise or unlearned, as rich or poor, so comes the message of the gospel to men as men, not as classified by the exigencies of external conditions or the operation of social tendencies. To the church there are but two kinds of men those who follow Christ and those who do not. "The church accepts as its chief re sponsibility without abating its ef forts to remove Immediate and palpa ble evils the creation of that atmos phere of fairness, kindness and good will in which employer and employe, capitalist and workingman. may find both light and warmth, and, in mutual respect and with fraternal feelings, may reach the common basis of under standing, which will come to them, not by outward pressure, but from the Inner sense of brotherhood." blmIIdI rulers REV. J. K. SNYDER DECLARES CHRIS. TIANITY SET BACK 100 TEARS. failure of Nations to Profit From the Teachings of Great Master Ex pected to Bring Upheaval. That Christianity and Christian civili zation are a failure, through no fault of Christianity, and the progress of the world has been set back more than 100 years by the European war, a war of malice, race hatred and a war insti gated by European aristocracy and the rulers, was the declaration of Rev. J. E. Snyder at the Piedmont Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. He pre dicted that the dethronment of the crowned heads and the establishment of Christian democracies by the plain people who are now being sacrificed by the present rulers would result "Is Christianity a Failure?" was the topic, and Rev. Mr. Snyder answered the question in the affirmative, al though he qualified that statement by another that It is no fault of Christian ity, for it teaches the love and brother hood of man. "If love prevailed." he said, "the earth would be a paradise; there would be no strife between labor and capital; there would be no crime, trickery in business; no white slave traffic; no liquor traffic; there would be the gold en rule in action, and Christianity would not be a failure. But Christian civilization is a failure. For more than 2000 years it has stood, and yet it Is a failure. It has failed in Europe, where more than 200,000 young men are dead on the battlefield. Is all this war Christianity? No. It is hell! Chris tianity has failed in Germany, the home of sturdy men; in France, the home of culture, art and music; in England, the fountain head of our boasted Christian civilization."

"The cable situation as affected by the war is returning to a better basis and while no restrictions have been re moved recently on European messages, there has been a noticeable decrease gradually in the delay in transmission," said W.

"Week-end cables for delivery Mon day morning were received here today (Sunday) and cable letters during the past week have been handled without any apparent delay.
