Dr. Frank L. Loveland Concurs
in a Part of Christian
Science Faith.
PRINCIPLES ARE PRAISED
Clmrcli at Twelfth and Taylor Streets
Packed to Doors as Pastor
Preaches on "Mysterious
Mountain of Prayer."
With "The Mysterious Mountain of
Prayer" as his subject Dr. Frank I
Loveland, pastor of the FlrBt Metho
dist Church, last night preached an
eloquent sermon that was heard by a
congregation that taxed the capacity of
the auditorium at Twelfth and Taylor
streets. Scores who came late were
unable to obtain even standing room.
Dr. Loveland began hl8 discourse by
a statement of his views on Christian
Science. He said:
"I am a Methodist, not a Christian
Scientist, but God keep me from being
such a little narrow two-by-two man
that I can't .see the good in other
denominations.
"When the Christian Scientist says
'stop worrying,' I say I believe that
much. When he tells me to think good
thoughts, I believe that too. It may be
Christian Science, but I call It Metho
dism. When he states that mankind
Bhould trust in God, I say 'That is
worth while.' Brethren, I believe in
all the specific good things for which
all the good churches stand. I believe
In many of the things a Presbyterian
does, but I am not a Presbyterian. I
believe in much that the Baptist does,
but I am not a Baptist. I believe in
the police force, but I am not a
policeman.
Christian Science Helpful.
"I believe people have been helped
and healed in the Christian Science
Church. The mission of that church
seems to have been to show that the
gospel relates to the human body as
well as to the human soul. It took
up what had been dropped out of
orthodoxy.
Criticism cannot be offered for the
results in the form of healing, but
most of the fulmination Is not against
that practical good it does but against
its metaphysics. When the Christian
Scientists talk about unreality, then it
is that they often run into difficul
ties. Metaphysically you can discuss
things as unrealities, but you have the
experiences to explain. Hunger may bo
an illusion, but the only cure for it is
until n (; r illusion, u yuu win iuuu. j.
live wire may be an illusion, but I'd
advise even a Christian Scientist not
to touch It. The metaphysics of any
church are liable, to lead us into a bog.
I Include the Methodist Church. Let
us bo fair-minded. There is room for
the good that all of us can do. I don't
think everything done by the Methodist
Episcopal Church is necessarily divine.
Belief In IlealliVK Similar.
"I urge all Christian churches to
awing out -into a broadness and depth
wherein they shall all absorb that great
truth that Jesus Christ can heal the
sick. I am not a Christian Scientist,
because I cannot indorse all their meta
physics, but I can grasp hands with
them and say, 'I believe it is God that
healeth.' If that Is the truth, let us
have it in all our churches. I don't
believe that God will listen to a Chris
tian Scientist any sooner than to a
Methodist, if they both approach him
in the right spirit. I would- to God
we could all say fervently, 'Lord teach
us how to pray."
"I . shall not write books against
Christian Science. I have read some of
them and found they contained much
nonsense. Christianity lost out in Its
teaching, thinking, preaching and prac
ticing when it failed to lay emphasis
on the words, the thought, the truth.
'The Lord healeth." Just as Calvinism,
Lutherism, Wesleyism, Unitartanism
and other denominations supplied a
need, this church does. . .
United Creeds Championed.
Do not gasp at my saying Unitarian
ism. Much emphasis had been laid on
the divinity of Christ and on the other
world. This doctrine supplied the hu
man side of Christ. It was a sad day
for the church when- it left out the
human side. There is not one bit of
humanltarianism in the Apostles creed.
God Almighty raised the Salvation
Army to do the work we were too
proud to do. I believe when Alexan
der Campbell started what we call the
Christian Church he did a great thing,
for the important thing he advocated
was the union of all churches of God.
"There is a reason for the beginning
of all the principal churches. I don't
mean all the 200 or more denomina
tions, a large proportion of which have
been started by soreheads or cranks.
When I go into a small town and see
six Protestant churches, none of them
paid for, with six preachers starving to
death and the women of the aid socie
ties working overtime to raise money
to pay the church debt, I am convinced
more than ever that they need to get
together.
Prayer Styled Common Tie.
"Prayer is the common basis on
which we may approach the Father.
The disciples did not ask to learn how
to sing or how to heal, but they said.
"Teach us to pray.'
"Don't tell me It Is Impertinent or
unscientific to pray. Any desire Is a
prayer. Every new idea, every good
law, every good book is a prayer.
"But, I say. don't overload prayer.
"God Almighty won't do for you what
you can do for yourself. God Almighty
doesn't hand down food and drink to
every crank, who falls on his knees to
him. If you have a notion that God is
responsible for disease you will have a
hard time to pray to Him.
"Would the day might speedily come
when the church of the living God
would come to the reality of its need
and say 'O, Lord, teach us how to pray.'
Then and then only will Intolerance
and bickering be driven out and the
church be truly helpful."
Sermon Thoughts From
Portland Churches. ,
TP HE great need of the age is a
X larger Christian faith. There Is
plenty of faith of a sort, but the faith
of many Christians is strong In the
head and weak ! the heart," declared
Rev. E. O. Eldrldge, pastor of the
Mount Tabor Methodist Church, in his
sermon yesterday morning on "The
Magical Power of Faith." Continuing,
he said:
"The power of tha unseen is a realty
even though it may not appear upon
a bank account. The air, though un
seen, sways the trees and moves the
ships. Faith develops unsuspected re
sources from within and makes us cap
able of our best. The church of today
has a measure of genuine Christian
faith, but it lacks in scope and power.
Christianity haa a depth of meaning of
METHODIST
BELIEF If!
which we little dream. We get into
ruts, and too often worship only in
form. Religious surface values are
among its least values. Strong men.
conquering men, mighty men always
have been men of large faith, such
were Paul, Luther, Wesley, Moody and
a multitude of others. True Christian
faith always Is practical. Its agencies
of mercy and helpfulness are always
at work, and never more actively than
today. Faith is an inspired Imagina
tion, and as such gives vision, and it is
men of vision the world needs today.
Scientific apparatus is Inapplicable to
spiritual discovery. Our experience
tells us the best things in our lives
cannot be proved. Faith is the sky
light of the soul."
"Time goes on, centuries multiply to
cycles, kindgoms rise and fall, but
above all the din and confusion of
earth's passing years and crowding en
terprises, Peter's voice Is heard say
ing. 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of
the living God,' and the Master is heard
in his gentle ' but great reply. Upon
this rock I will build my church: and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against .It. "
This was the keynote of the sermon
delivered by the Rev. T. W. Lane, pas
tor of Centenary Methodist Church,
yesterday morning. Dr. Lane took as I
his theme "The Foundation of Chris
tianity." He said:
In Christ's statement there was re
vealed to all future years the founda
tion of the Christian church. Not the
person, the character, nor the office of
Peter, for if that had been the Import
then its truth would "have been taken
away, for it was after these words
were spoken that Peter lost faith, lost
character, lost position by denial and
profanity, and was only restored by
special act of tenderness and mercy on
the part of the Lord. But even while
Peter was In the depths of his terrible
sin, while he was full of denial and
cursing. It remained true as ever it had
been, and as it always must be, that his
Lord was 'The Christ, the Son of the
living God." And the foundation re
mains, broad and adequate and all-sufficient.
"There Is also here revealed. In
Christ's answer, the assurance of the
continued and ultimate success of his
church in the world."
Rev. Webley J. Beaven, pastor of the
Third Baptist Church, in the course of
his sermon yesterday morning said:
"The full meaning of the yerse 'As the
Father hath sent me, even so send I
you,' and Its comparison has never
been fully understood. The same love
and heartbreaks that sent Jesus to us
was in the heart of Jesus in sending
his children Into the world. He sent
them on the same kind of a mission to
share in his work of redempution and
so far as we fail we make CalvaryNof

HEW CHURCH DEDICATED
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST HONIf IN
ST. JOHNS IS FREK FROM DEBT.

That Congregation of 17 Haa
Grown 163 In 20 Years.
The new $2500 Seventh Day Adventlst
Church In St. Johns vas dedicated yes
terday free of debt in the present of a
large congregation. Elder Milton li.
St. Johns, of Portland, delivered the
main dedicatory address and Elder H.
W. Cottrell. president of the Western
Oregon Conference, assisted and deliv
ered the dedicatory prayer. Dr. J. V.
Scott, treasurer of the building com
mittee, read the financial report. Elder
E. IX Hurlburt. a charter member of
the church, told of the old days when
the church was organized, when it was
the only church in St. Johni
The old church stood on Salem and
Edison streets and was called the "lit
tie church under the hill." The first
service was held there July 7, 1886, and
the Seventh Day Adventlst Church of
St. Johns was organized. May 28, 1888,
with 17 members. It was then used
by the Methodist and Baptists until
they built churches of their own. Since
the church was organized it has added
163 members to the original 17 mem
bers. It has been active in all lines,
raised $23,000 in tithing for the support
of ministers, $18,000 for foreign mis
sions and $8500 for homo missions.
The new church stands on a lot do
nated for the purpose 1n' the J.
C. Scott Addition by Mrs. J. C.
Scott, treasurer of the church, in mem
ory of her husband, J. C Scott, a St.
Johns pioneer and founder of St. Johns'
water works. The reminiscences by
Elder Hurlburt covered the early his
tory of the church and much of the
early history of St. Johns.
SCHOOL PLANS CRITICISED
Mrs. Emma B. Carroll Suggests Per
fection In Few Studies.
"The public schools should teach but
a few things and teach those things
well. It is impossible to inculcate the
principle of thoroughness here where
the public schools are teaching 15 or 16
different subjects all in one day." said
Mrs. Emma B. Carroll in her address
yesterday before the current events
class of the First Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Carroll spoke of the responsi
bilities of teachers and parents. She
said that if the daily life of these did
not Deflect their precepts they could not
convince the child. She spoke of parent
hood as an opportunity for great teach
ing and said:
"Parents who have no ability and fit
ness to teach have no right to be
parents. Teaching children is not the
work of novices. Parents must by ex
ample teach their children that the
greatest joy of life is work. The in
difference and ignorance of p.arents
often retards the work of trained
teachers. Personal sacrifice and per
sonal interest on the part of the parents
is necessary for the proper education
of boys and girls."
Mrs. Carroll pralBed the system used
in educating the young people of
France. She spoke of the high s'.atus
of the teacher in that country, and
compared the system In America un
favorably. She said that tho teachers
here were not receiving pay commensu
rate with the importance of their work,
and offered as her opinion that there
was no hope for the teachers unless
the parents co-operated with tbem and
disciplined the children Instead of criti
cising the instructors.
PASTOR SCORES INFIDELS
Non-Believers Likened to Anarchists
by Rev. Tj. P. Law.
"Infidelity and Its Causes" was the
subject of the sermon yesterday morn
ing in the First Methodist Church
South, on Union avenue and Multnomah
street. This sermon by the pastor,
Rev. L. P. Law, closed the evangelical
services Mr. La,w began early this
month.
"Infidelity has done nothing to ad
vance and make the world better," said
Mr. Law. "Infidelity has founded no
schools of learning, no hospitals or in
stitutions for the betterment of the
human race, while Christianity has
done all these things. An infidel Is an
anarchist against the law of God as
much as the man is an anarchist who
declaims against the law of this land
and Government. The Bible has stood
the test of the ages and is today the
most widely-read book la the worlJ."

"Success is the object of life." said
George Morris, vocational expert, who
addressed mora than 100 men at th
"Social Hour" In the Portland Young
Men's Christian Association yesterday
afternoon, "and success never will be
attained by persons who follow the ten
denctes of the flesh instead of forcing
the brain to dominate."
Mr. Morris spoke on "What's in your
head?" and offered a store of advice to
the young men present. He said
"Most persons walk through life with
out ever taking pains to find out tha
for which they were Intended. Instead
of exercising and cultivating what na
ture gave them, they neglect the lm
portance of knowing themselves and in
consequence seldom, reach the senith of
their ambitions.
"There are a great many young folk
who go to college to prepare for walk
of life for which they are not intended,
while many geniuses struggle along In
utter ignorance of the possibilities
within their reach if they would learn
to know themselves."

"Was Taken Off Reef and Car
ried Two Miles on Land.
The British bark Poltalloch -which
arrived upstream at midnight has the
distinction of being; the only large
full-rigged sailing ship, with the excep
tion of the Zlnita, wrecked In 1898, that
ever went aground firmly on the North
west Coast and was saved.
Another peculiar circumstance relat
ing to the ship Is that she passed
the exact spot at the exact time of
the day on the same day of the year
that she was wrecked 14 years before.
While en route to Portland from
Santa Rosalia in 1901, the Poltalloch
ran ashore in a fog- on November 26
one mile north of Willapa Harbor,
Wash. The ship was hauled over
land by donkey engines and winches
and launched in Willapa Harbor on
June 7. 1902. From there she was
taken to Esquimau for repairs. After
sailing more than 12 years she passed
the scene of her former accident on
the morning of November 26, 1914.
The feat of hauling the Poltalloch
overland was a big one, but Is not
the only case of the kind in existence.
Though there are few such cases
known, another took place soon after
ward when the Columbia River light
ship, which went ashore on Olatsop
Beach, was taken overland and
launched in the Columbia River at Fort
Canby, two miles from where it went
ashore.
CHEAT NORTHERN SAILING SET
First of Hill Speedy Ships lor New
Route to Leave East January 2 7.
The Great Northern, one of the sister
ships of the Hill lines to ply between
Havel and San Francisco, equalling the
time of the Shasta Limited through its
connection with a Portland train, will
sail from Philadelphia January 27.
The steamahip, with her sister ship,
the Northern Pacific, is faster than
any trans-oceanic steamers in the
world except the Mauretania. the
Lusitania .-and the Aquitania, of the
Cunard line.
Noted writers, including Samuel G.
BIythe ana George -Horace Lorimer,
editor of the Saturday Evening Post,
will be among the passengers on the
maiden voyage. Eastern tourists coming
to the fair at San Francisco, and many
residents of the Paciflu Coast, includ
ing some from Portland, will travel
on the new steamship through the
Panama Canal. E. W. Wright, of the
Merchants' Exchange, hopes to be
among the passengers.
GRAIN SHIPMENTS GREATER
3,500,000 Bushels Handled In No
vember; 1,383,000 in 1013.
Although the exact figures of Novem
ber shipments will not be completed
until tonight, statistics gathered in ad
vance show a great gain In grain ship
ments over November, 1913. Lumber
shipments have been inslgniflcant.
Approximately 3,500,000 bushels of
grain will have been shipped this month
from Portland, while last year tne exact
amount for that time was 1,383,339
bushels of wheat, 114,000 barrels of
flour and no oats.
November, 1914, shipments will con
sist of approximately 2,000,000 bushels
of wheat. 150.000 barrels of hour, equlv
alent to 675.000 bushels of wheat, and
600.000 bushels of oats.
STEAMER. . CAPTAIN CENSURED
Stranding of Princess Royal In In
tricate Channel Brings Rebuke.
VICTORIA, B. C Nov. 29. The
marine court has severely censured
Captain George J. Hawes, of the Cana
dian Pacific steamship Princess Royal,
for the stranding-ef .that steamer in
Sabine channel on October 27.
The court found the stranding wa
due firstly to fog and also to th
practice of masters using narrow and
intricate channels, unmarked by aids to
navigation. This practice the court
strongly condemned. They felt that a
reprimand met all requirements of tn
case and returned Captain Hawes hi
certificate.
VRr CASTLE GIVES ANXIETY
British Steamer Chartered to Load
Wheat Not Reported Recently.
The British steamer Wray Castle ha
been chartered to load grain in Port
land In December, but her whereabout
Is causing her charterers conslderabl
anxiety owing to the war disturbance.
The Wray uastie left Jingiana l
October and was reported last oft
Cardiff. Her course is through th
Panama Canal, but she has not re
ported there yet. It is said, however,
in local shipping circles that th
steamer probably Is close at hand, as
the various reports given out by agents
are often changed In order to evad
warships of the enemy.
