8 THE MORXIXG OREGONIAJT, SATURDAY, DECEMBER ?G, 1914. " CHRISTMAS IS DAY OF REAL REJ01GING Spirit of Making Others Happy Prevails in Portland and Joy Is Widespread. NONE IS POOR THIS DAY To Sick and TTnfortnnate, In Home, ; Hospital, Penal or Charitable Institution Remembrance of Season Carried Xxrrlnglr. In Portland thera are thousands ot poor bnt happy children. They are poor because such Is fate. They are happy because they know there really Is a hlg-. lolly, ever-thoughtful old Eanta Claus. , There are thousands ot men and women also whose usual run of life is a hapless, dreary, thankless existence. Today they are happy because they have felt the warmth and sunBhlne ot Portland's hospitality and grood-fellow-, Ship. ' - Here, there and everywhere are hun dreds ot thousands of men, women and children who are blssrer and better to day because they brushed aside the trials and tribulations of everyday life yesterday and lost themselves In the ecstasies of that big-, jolly Merry Christmas which everybody wished for everybody else. Kris Krlng-le, with his spirit of gen erous good-fellowship, was no re specter of persons. lie grasped the hand of the most lowly and the most unfortunate with as much ardor as he shook with the best-to-do. He sought out the children who know the pangs of want and made them happy with food and toys; he went into the cells of Jails and spread Joy where hearts were sad. He wiped away the tears of the destitute and the pangs of the hun gry. He gladdened the souls of the homeless and extended the hand of brotherllness to the broken down. He made this a better world. Christmas Spirit General. Portland probably never has seen a tetter Christmas. This was due to the fact that long In advance of the mem orable day everybody became imbued with the spirit of helpfulness for those who ordinarily would not find Christ mas cheer. Everybody resolved that there should be no want. And there was none. Organizations and Individuals took eare of the details of plans for the des titute, the homeless, the unfortunate and the helpless. Business men gave up their own time and affairs; women deserted their household duties; great organizations of big-hearted men and women worked night and day and made personal sacrifices that none should be forgotten on the greatest of all Chris tian days. All worked In the common cause of fellowship. Bome of the organizations took up the work of proving to thousands of poor children the reality of Santa Claus. Others cared for the distribu tion of food to the needy; still others provided good cheer In various forms ' for the Inmates of jails, hospitals, asy lums and charitable homes. Btill oth ers gathered food and prepared it for the benefit or the homeless who otner wise might expect no other Christmas dinner than a cup of coffee and a plate of beans. Thousands of Individuals in all walks of life and In all grades of financial ciroumstances made generous sacrifices for the benefit of others. HimwI Meal I "Dandy." One of the principal events of the dav was the dinner to homeless men given by the O.-W. R. & N. Company n the steamer Hassalo. Hundreds of men "walked the gang-plank" and sat down to the bounteous spread on the big steamer. Nobody in Portland had a better spread than these men and nobody enjoyed it more. In the management of the Portland Commons the homeless found another renerous host. In the organization's beadauarters In the North End nun dreds of men assembled and ate to their hearts' content of the choicest of Viiietlria dainties. At the Workingmen's Restaurant, 23 North Second street, about 100 men were fed as guests of Fred Fritz, the minaeer. At the Men's itesort in m North End a Christmas tree for home i. Tnnri was riven In the evening. Hundreds of men enjoyed an excellent nroeramme and received attractive nrASenta In hundreds of homes where want fcas ruled hitherto- good dinners were enjoyed. Baskets of food were dis tributed by the Muts, Salvation Aamy, People's Institute. Volunteers of Amer ica, Portland commons ana otner cnan table organizations, as well as thou Bands of Individuals. In many cases th foods were taken in baskets .In other cases large quantities of suppplles were sent from grocery stores without the names of the donors being given. Neighborhood Clubs Active. An Important feature of the day was the work done by the various Improve- ment and neighborhood organizations and by groups of neighbors in various parts of the city. The majority of these organizations distributed toys tnd eroceries to the needy. Partlcu lar attention was paid to the distribu tion -of toys to children In destitute families. Many a Juvenile tragedy was averted on Christmas morning by the efforts of these people. Organizations cared for the enter tainment of inmates of penal and charl table Institutions. In all the jails and public institutions the inmates were given special Christmas dinners and In the majority or tnese places pro erammes were held. Special services were conducted in many of the churches of the city. In the Catholic churches masses were said early, with high masses at 11 o'clock. In many of the other churches special morning services were held and all were decorated for the season of love and good cheer. Masonic Rite Observed. Washington Command ery. No. 15 Knights Templars, held a ceremonial service commencing at 9 A. M. A fea ture of the affair was a Christmas breakfast which was enjoyed by the members and their families. St. Johns celebrated with a com munity Christmas tree and a pro gramme in the auditorium at James Johns High School. A large commit tee handled the affair and made It a thorough success. Joy reigned at the Boys and Girls' Aid Society where a big Christmas din ner was served at noon. Curing the afternoon a programme was given. A Christmas tree will be held Monday night. At the hospitals singers from 88 Christian Endeavor societies sang car ols during the morning for the bene fit of the bedridden. The singing was appreciated particularly at the County Hospital, where they spent several hours. At the Commercial Club last night Dr. Henry Waldo Coe gave a dinner to BO men who are away from home. Invitations were sent out some time ago and the affair was a big success- Tom J. ewivei give a unnstmas tree a.t the Commercial Club during the af ternoon for about 100 children. Candy, nuts and other good things to eat and toys were distributed. Pupils of the Sundav school rlnnspa of the First Presbyterian Church dis tributed dolls, toys and clothing to many poor children and 50 dinner bas kets were given to needy families. At Morningside Hospital there was a Christmas tree celebration during the day. Presents were distributed and the patients made happy in many ways by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. FOOD LEFT AT 300 HOMES Associated Charities Cares for AH "With Christmas Dinners. More than 300 families received bas kets Of food and other supplies sent by the Associated Charities, which closed its Christmas relief fund cam paign on the night before Christmas. Early yesterday morning a later in stallment of baskets was sent out to several families that had been missed by the various charitable Institutions and. having thus made sure that no home had been permitted to miss its share of Christmas cheer, the Charities CHILDREN OF THE POOR HAVE & S- 4 A fit!? , rc-v''; i .- . :' FEW OP THE KIDS AT declared a holiday for the afternoon. The relief fund Thursday night had reached a total of more than 14700 and probably will exceed $5000 when all returns are In. No mail was re ceived yesterday and the final report may not be made before early next week. The Christmas relief fund was gath ered to care for destitute families through all the months following Christmas, when the transient charities that spring up in the holiday season are no longer active and the burden of relief falls upon the established Insti tutions. This is the third annual cam paign, and the fund this year is nearly three times as great as it was the first season and more than $1000 larger than that donated last year. Every dollar will be applied directly to relief work, the fund for the maintenance of the Charities offices coming from other sources. NEWSIES' PILE AFTER COIN Isidore, Minus Cap and With Gash Above Eye, Happy With $4.2 6. Isidore lost his cap, sustained an inch gash above his left eye, tore one of his stockiners from knee to ankle, got wet to the skin and had his hair shampooed In the muck of the street, out He got 14.28 as a result of his activ ity in the annual newsboys' scramble for small change on Portland's down town streets. ;lm As he stood-rfwf the corner of Third and Alder streets waiting for a South Portland car, he was the object of many sympathetic glances. But when someone asked him what was the matter he said "Nothing," and explained that he had been one of the soramblers. With him was his little brother. Nathan, scarcely less the worse for wear than Isidore. Nathan was proud of the prowess of his big brother, but confessed that he himself had managed to collect but one lone dime. Isidore and Nathan were but two Of several' hundred young news vendors who provided Christmas merriment for coin-throwing crowds -in front of the Oregon Hotel, the Multnomah and other places down town. They blotted and wiped up the pavement witn eacn otner. They kicked, squealed and fought. "That's human nature without the trimmings," said an obBervor as he reached In his pocket for more nickels. 200 STRANGERS GUESTS X. I. O. A. Provides Entertainment for Young Men, Away From Home. Toung men who were compelled to nass Christmas in Portland away from their homes were guests for whom the Young Men's Christian Association held Its Christmas entertainment in the llv-lnir-room of the association building. Arrangements were made for 100 men at first, but when the crowd had assem bled it was found that there were ap proximately 200. Provisions were ample, however, so that every man was able to receive a gift and a further Christmas remem brance of some sort. Little William Robieon distributed the gifts. Readings were given by J. W. Palmer and Tom Brown, and R. E. Randall led In a singing festival in which all of the old Christmas carols were sung. Last night a special Christmas dinner was served in the cafeteria.

The students of the Jefferson Night School gave an entertainment Wednes day night, which was attended by sev eral hundred parents and residents of the neighborhood. Rev. W. G. McLaren, of the Portland Commons, gave his lecture, "Lights and Shadows ot the Pacific Coast." It was illustrated with stereoptlcon views, showing some of the conditions that Mr. McLaren and his associates meet in their work among the unfor tunates of society.

With pontifical mass in which an elaborate musical programme and a sermon by Rev. Father J. W. Darby, of MERRY TIME AT TOMMY SWIVEL'S CHRISTMAS TREE PARTY AT COMMERCIAL CLUB. 3 As :?K-y' V -A r V1 & IT THE CHRISTMAS TREE AND, AT RIGHT, MR. SWIVEL, HOST- Liverpool, England, were features, the congregation of St. Mary's Cathedral celebrated Christmas yesterday morn ing. The pontifical mass, which is cus tomary on Christmas day, was preceded by solemn high mass. The church was elaborately decorated for the occasion. The statues and the altar were draped with ferns, holly and boughs of Christmas trees. To the left of the altar was an artistic bower of pine boughs and other Christmas decorations formed in shape of a man ger. Inside was a cradle with a figure representing the new-born babe, illu minated with a star. The pontifical mass was celebrated by Archbishop Christie. Rev. J. W. Darby was priest. Father Holland, as sistant priest; Father O'Hara and Father Cunningham, deacons of the throne; Father De Lorlmer and Fathei Cannon, deacons of the - mass, and Father McNamee, master of ceremonies. Father DaTby Preaches. In his sermon Father Darby dealt with the general theme of the coming of Christ. "What a wonderful picture," said Father Darby, "is that of the Christ child nestled in his lowly bed. Here in the most humble of places and under the poorest conditions was the child that came to save the world. What a difference there was in the way of his coming, from the way that might nat urally be expected. "Why did God become man in the way he didT This is a great question with a wonderful explanation. Why did he come as he did and why did he suiter as he did? There Is onlv one explanation. It is found In the Scrip ture, 'And I, if I be lifted up, will draw an tnings to myself This is the key to his life and work. It was all a struggle to gain man's love. The pur pose of God Is shown In the results. There is more love of God and more un derstanding than before the coming of our saviour. "It is man's duty to trv to return God's love to us by way of love for him and his. Don't forget that the main spring of love and charity is God' and that the Christmas SDirit which prompts us on this day to 1 OVa and hfln our fellowman all came from that child born In a manger 2000 years ago." Muale la Festive. The musical programmes at the con. tificial and the earlier masses were as follows: 6 A. M., solemn high mass; before mass. "Adeste Fldeles": read ing; proper of the mass.

"The birth of Christ was the greatest event of all time," said Dr. A. A. Mor rison, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, in a brief Christmas sermon at the services yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. "That event brought God to walk upon, the earth, to dwell among men, to come in Intimate touch with all their Joys and sorrows and to make mankind realize the great sympathy of the Father. Christ said. ho hath seen me hath seen the i ather." " This Influence, said Dr. Morrison. had been handed down through the ages ana is stiu tne greatest inspira tion oi numanity. The musio at the services was an important feature. The full vested choir of men, women and boys sane several numbers and rendered an elaborate communion setting. The solos were given by Mrs. Delphine Marx, I'rea crowther. Dr. Morrison and Mrs. Tucker. The services throughout were impressive. A large number of communicants filled the church and shared In the Christmas celebration. The chufca was beautifully., decor-. ated with garlands of greenery and branches of evergreen. "I am impressed with the spirit of good will that inheres within us," said Dr. Morrison. "Notwithstanding storms, poverty, war, suffering and all the troubles that arise, that spirit of the Man of Nazareth still holds sway in our hearts. Looking out over the world, the civilized, the seml-civlllzed and what We call 'heathen,' which is the other term for those who do not believe as we do, in spite of all adverse feelings, we can still find that the spirit of Christmas is spreading and that no matter what our differences, our petty jealousies and troubles, still when appeal comes to the best in us, we respond and the spirit of Christ is manifest. The cross, while It rep resents Gethsemane, is after all a glorious crown symbolio of His love. It is an inspiration for higher and holler things. "Even in the battle front today, wherever a spray of evergreen can be found or a spray of holly, the men are looking upon It with thoughts of home and In It they see the richness and eternallty of the doctrine of Christ .and his birthday." I Dr. Morrison said that he was glad I that the Pope, the head of the Roman ICathollo Church, had called upon the armies for an armistice In which they irni.il Him iTisiiiiiiiiii iiaii.ff could observe Christmas, but, although he had called In vain, his message had not been without Its good influence.

EiOWMENTIS$400,000 ESTIMATE GIVEIf OF PROPERTY FOR WE31JIE HOSPITAL Total Value of Estate ot Deceased Citt- w Is Probably Nearly One Million Dollar. Although the valuation of the estate of E. Henry Wemme, who died in Los Angeles on December 17, is placed at $500,000 in the petition for probate. filed Thursday, estimates made yester day fix the actual value of the property left by Mr. Wemme at nearly $1,000, 000. The real estate to ba converted Into an endowment fund for the es tablishment of "The White Shield of Portland. Oregon," a maternity hospital for unfortunate and wayward girls, is estimated to be worth 1100,000. The property is a quarter block at the northeast corner of Broadway and Oak streets, a half block on Broad way between Burnslde and Couch streets, a quarter block at Tenth and Burnslde streets, and the south 120 feet of a block on the north side of Sullivan's Gulch, on Union avenue, now occupied by the Mollne Plow Company. All through his will the philanthropic motives which actuated Mr. Wemme are manifested. Four women who for years were employes of the tent and awning company which Mr. Wemme managed were left pensions of J35 a month each. The three executors, Jes sie M. Carson. H. A. Wels and J. J. Cole, are young people who have been in his employment for a number of years. Miss Carson was his private secretary. It was Mr. Wemme's oft-repeated am bltion to see the Mount Hood and Bar low road, which he built and main tained at his own expense, operated as a free public scenic highway. At pres ent it is operated as a toll road. In leaving this road to his attorney, George W.

SWIVEL HOST T0 100 TOTS HATE CHRISTMAS GAMBOL AT COMMERCIAL. CLUB. Dinner Is Served and Gifts Are Dis tributed to Juvenile Guests From Btsr Christmas Tree. Blaring of horns enough to bring down the walls of a hundred Jerichos rang through the halls of the Portland Commercial Club yesterday afternoon, for Tommy Swivel was holding his annual Christmas festival as host to more than 100 of the poor children of the city. The children had possession of the clubrooms all the afternoon, and when they went home their pockets bulged with gifts and their little stomachs bulged with a big Christmas dinner. Mrs. Margaret Thoroman, of the Juve nile Court, lent her assistance to gather a hundred of the poorest chil dren in the city and bring them to the festival. First, there was a great Christmas dinner in the Rosarlan room, during which the young women who assisted Mr. Swivel on the reception committee entertained the children with an lm promptu musical performance. Then the children filed down onto the fifth floor to Mr. Swivel's rooms, where a big Christmas tree had been set up and decorated for them. Monroe Goldstein and Mr. Swivel were surrounded in a moment when the chil dren ascertained that they were serving the place of Santa Claus. "Me next," they clamored, and the two men handed out toy horns and flags and candy fast and furiously. Every child began an obllgato of its' own on the horn as soon as it was received, and the uproar fairly shattered the air. They filled the bathtub with water and sailed boats on it with yells of glee. Eugene Bland constituted himself Ad miral of the bathtub fleet, and wound up the toy submarine again and again. taking as much joy out of its diving and ducking as the boys themselves. "Women of the committee that as sisted Mr. Swivel In entertaining the children were Mrs. Eugene Bland, Misses Marjorle Reed, Dagmar Korell, Olga SplUd, Constance Davis and Madeline Stone. HEILIG MOVIES WI1ERS CHRISTMAS WEEK ATTRACTION BARGAIN-DAY EVENT. Perfect Table d'Hote of Interesting Features Given to Patrons at Each Performance. Worth the admission price several times over is the continuous motion picture bill now current at the Hellig. The pictures went on yesterday at 11 ana will not stop till Sunday night. Eleven reels are shown, and a corking collection it is, too one picked espe cially as a combination hard to beat. The first one is "The Stolen Birth right," a three-part American-made drama, featuring two Portland favor ites, Thurston Bergen and Elsie Es mond. The story told in this film is an astounding one, full of pathos and gripping situations. It tells of a living baby girl substituted for a dead child in another family, and of the lives of the two girls when grown. The liv ing child Is one of twins, and when the two grow to womanhood they meet and their life stories, lived far apart, strangely intermingle. Their great resemblance to each other makes the plot on which hinges the tragedy of the story. An excellent cast por trays these pictures, with the fascinat ing Miss Esmond playing the difficult dual role of the two sisters. Thurs ton Bergen plays the husband ot one of the sisters and brings to the film a splendid exhibition of dramatic work. Frank Brownies plays the fiance of the other sister. Next on the series is "The Perfect Thirty-Six," ono of the funniest of the many rich stories written by Montague Glass, whose best-known are the "Potash and Perlmutter" series. This one is a four-part comedy, accom panied by a constant run of comment by Moritz Abramowsky, relative to business and sentiment. "Even rotten garments look good on a pretty girl," opines Moritz. "That's the way fat ladies gets fooled Into buying stripes," and "If you want some one she should love you for yourself alone, don't blow too heavy at the start, nor any other time, either." Tie Perfect Thirty Six" is a rare Humorous story and enjoyment for every one who loves keen satire. Third on the list 19 "The Star of Genius," a Pathe drama, featuring the French actress Mile. Napierkowska. The story tells dramatically and with cunning insight a story of the stage, its heartaches In the climb for suc cess and the sorrows that sometimes come with achievement. Closing the series is a roaring com edy called "Whlffle's Nightmare," with poor old Whiffles playing a double role, playing two brothers, one rich and stingy, the other impecunious and money-seeking. Remarkable feats of double exposure are shown in this pic ture, and it Is full of comedy. CHURCH PLANS GALA WEEK First Methodist's Year-End Services Will Begin Monday.
