ers will be permitted to sell .
liquor until 1 A. M., when the

The police have made plans to
have day and night forces on

Portland will observe New Tear's
In accord with all the fine old customs
of the day. "Watch-night services in
the churches and elsewhere will wel
come the new-born year, praise services
of an appropriate nature will be held.
New Tear calls will be paid by friends,
as of old, gifts and greetings will be
exchanged and good fellowship will
prevail generally.
Good resolutions will be made, only
to be broken, conviviality will be
marked on New Tear's eve. the water
wagon will be loaaed temporarily, as
always, and the element of hope for
better things will enter Into most
lives.
Julius Caesar Is credited with having
put New Tear's day on January 1 when
he revised the calendar. The god Janus,
with two faces, was patron of the first
month of the year because he was sup
posed to be looking back at the old
year and forward at the new, with
regard for both.
Cuatomg Traced to Romans.
The old Romans established many of
our New Tear customs, too. They gave
up the day to paying calls, feasting
and distributing gifts. That they es
tablished the custom of New Tear
resolutions may be guessed from the
fact that they regulated every act on
the first day of the year so that it
would be a happy augury for the
future.
France was the first country In
Christendom to change its calendar so
that the new year opened January 1
instead of March 25. This was in 1564,
but not until two centuries later did
England adopt the custom. -
A curious thing i3 that "All Fools'
day," April 1, is a survival of the
change in the date of New Tear's day.
As March 25 fell In Holy Week, April 1
generally was the day upon which New
Tear's gifts were made and calls ex
changed. When the holiday was ad
vanced to January 1, mock visits were
made and pretended presents were ex
changed to trick those, who forgot the
change in date and these pranks have
been continued since.
The convivial customs of the day
were established by the Romans and
were continued by the Britons. New
Tear's eve in Scotland is known as
Hogmany and the two days together
are referred to commonly as the "Daft
Days."
Gifts Presented in France.
In France and the Latin countries,
rifts are more generally a feature of
New Tear's than among English
speaking reople, the explanation being
that the day comes too soon after
Christmas. Children of France put
their shoes on the fireplace fender on
New Year's eve, expecting to find them
filled with presents the following
morning, much as is our Christmas
custom.
At the European courts. New Tear's
Is a "solemn occasion, the clay being
marked by religious services, at which
the ruling monarch! commence the
year with appeals to the Almighty for
strength and guidance.
Lord Chesterfield, however, re
marked: "It is a time when the kind
est and warmest wishes are exchanged
without the least meaning and the most
lying day of the whole year."
Portland to Celebrate.
Portland's celebration will savor of
all these old customs. In hotels, clubs
and homes, merrymaking will prevail
Special music will be provided at the
leading hostelries and elaborate din
ner will be served. There will be
dancing and extensive decorations. Big
lists oi reservations are forming for
tables at the grills on New Tear's eve.
Many restaurants that close early
evenings will remain open on that
night for the convenience of cele
brators. The Commercial Club will give a din
ner and watch party New Tear's eve,
the dinner starting at 9 o'clock. There
will be dancing and special music and
decorations. Ira F. Powers is head of
the committee in charge of the event.
Other clubs will have special attrac
tions for members and their friends.
Methodist churches of the city will
unite in a big watch night service at
FirBt Church, commencing at 7:30
o'clock Thursday night. Many other
churches of the city are arranging sim
ilar services. - 'The Second-Avenue
Presbyterian Church of Sellwood will
have a New Tear's reception this after,
noon, the parlors of the church being
open to welcome visitors from noon
until night. At the Sellwood Y. M. C.
A. there will be a watch night service
and a dinner on New Tear's day.
Although the holiday is outshone by
Christmas, there will be a partial sus
pension of business throughout the city
on New Year's. Banks, city and county
buildings and many business houses
will be closed all day to give an oppor
tunity to employes to celebrate the
holiday. Schoolchildren of the city will
enjoy the advent of the new year, as
they do not resume school study until
January 4.
P. Zu Willis' Condition Improved.
P. I Willis, a prominent citizen of
the city, who has been ill for the past
few days, was reported as much im
proved last night. Mr. Willis' indls

That the Hawthorne Park Presby
terian Church, at East Twelfth and

and Kast Pine streets, are considering

nouncement In a bulletin issued by the
Third Presbyterian Church yesterday.
The announcement Is:

portant meetings that has ever been called

life and well being of Third Church may
hinge on this meeting. Every member of
the church ought to put forth every effort
to attend, and express himself on this mo
mentous question. You may regret It for
years If you do not attend.
Rev. Mr. Hutchison said In explana
tion "of the call that the churches were
merely considering the question of
union, but that nothing definite had
been done. i
The Third Presbyterian and the Haw
thorne Park Presbyterian Church are
prosperous. The Third Church is one
of the oldest on the Bast Side. The
Hawthorne Park Church was organized
as a Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
and became a Presbyterian Church
when the two branches consolidated.

Hutchison is pastor of the Third Church
and Rev. L. K. Grimes is In charge of

Sermon Thoughts From
Portland Churches.
it M AKING Life Over Again." or
I "Spiritual Reconstruction," was
the subject of the year-end sermon of
Dr. R. Elmer Smith, in the Sunnyside
Methodist Church yesterday morning.
Dr. smith said:
' "On the last days of the old year it
is well for us to pause and take a
backward look. In doing so we And
that we have not made a perfect record.
Our lives have been marred more or
less. Sometimes we get discouraged
because we do not achieve our ideals.
It is comforting to know that God un
derstands and cares. Unwise Is the
man who, recognizing that his charac
ter is marred, refuses to place it into
the hands of the great divine potter for
reconstruction.
"Wise and happy Is the man who
places the fragments of his life In
God's hands and allows him to recon
struct his life and remove the blem
ishes. "Is your character marred by self
ishness, insincerity, impatience, deceit,
liiRt lnvn n f mnnAv iinVimil ttHnat
or by anything else? If so, let me
urge you for your own sake, for the
sake of your home, the church and the
world in which you move, to place
yourself unreservedly Into the loving
hands of our Heavenly Father and let
him reconstruct your spiritual life and
make it a thing of beauty and useful
ness." ,
At . the evening service Dr. Smith
spoke on "Things That Will Never
End." The Veteran Quartet sang.
r
"If Christmas never came the world
would have missed the real significance
of life as interpreted to us by the
ChrlsJ. It would also have missed the
real meaning of good will and human
brotherhood. The World would have
missed the best expression of love as
we know It in. the world today, as we
know him."
These thoughts were the theme
around which Rev. Charles T. Hurd,
assistant pastor of the First Presby
terian Church, preached his Christmas
sermon yesterday morning.
.
The "I-don't-care" spirit Is a bad one
to have. It's a stamp of cheapness of
the outcry of a pained conscience, ac
cording to Rev. E. S. Bollinger, of the
Highland Congregational Church; who
took for his sermon subject yesterday
"I Don't Care and 1915."
I don't care" Is an expression of In
difference and incapacity." ha said.
"Our state of mind Is Intensified by a
suggested expresssion. Therefore, how
foolish and hurtful for us to continue
to mark ourselves with these stamps
of cheapness.
" "I don't care is also an expression
that may be the last effort of a higher
good, that has been, surrendered. As
TTTE arORXTXG
such It is the outcry of a pained con
science. The expression 'I don't care'
nowadays marks a falling soul."
"Make the best of life; be what God
wants you to be," was the gist of the
message delivered to his congregation
yesterday by Rev. E. Olln Eldridge,
pastor of Mount Tabor Methodist Epis
copal Church.
"Do not waste your time criticising
those who have not had opportunities;
be a big brother or big sister to them.
Justify your existence. Live up to your
possibilities. The best way to average
up in life Is to be as near the God-ideal
aa possible.
"Our plans may fall, but God knows
best. He will withhold no good thing
from them that love him. He often
makes it imposible for us to carry out
our plans because he has something
better for us to do.'
Rev. Mr. Eldrldge's sermon toplo was
"God as a Controlling Factor in Our
Lives," and his text was "My Times
Are In His Hands." He cited David's
rise from sheepherder to the pinnacle
of spiritual rapture as an application
of his text. He continued:
"There is a sense in which a man
may be the architect of his own for
tune, but it is God that gives the ma
terial to make such success possible.
God dislikes haughtiness and over-weaning
pride pride that scorns the unfor
tunate. God has created us for a definite
purpose and we are differentiated ac
cording to his plan and each person is
put here for a mission."
YOUNG SING OLD CAROLS
CHILDISH VOICES RI2VG CLEAR
WITH STORV OF CHRIST'S BIRTH.
Congrreaational Sunday Schools Have
Programme In Which SSO la
Chorus Take Bis; Fart. - -
"It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old."
From 260 childish throats the old
song rang through its Joyful verses at
the First Congregational Church yes
terday afternoon.
The children had been gathered from
the Congregational Sunday schools of
Portland to sing the hymns and carols
of Christmas, and under the direction
of Professor J. H. Cowen they sang
them with a will.
In perfect accord the clear young
voices of the little boys and girls, sing,
ing with all their might, chimed like
Christmas bells, filling the big audi
torium with a concord of sweet sound.
First was "O Come, All Ye Faithful,"
carol of adoraticniifor the Christ-child.
Then came the hymn, "O Little Town
of Bethlehem," and as the children
sang, those who had gathered to hear
them could see the little town beneath
the Bllent stars, where the hopes and
fears of all the years were met so long
ago.
And with what tenderness they sang
about "the little Lord Jesus, asleep on
the hay." Clearly their 'hearts went
out with their voices to the baby boy
who was born "away in a manger, no
crib for a bed."
The other songs were "Holy Night,
Peaceful Night," "I Think When I Read
That Sweet Story of Old." "Hark, the
Herald Angels 6ing" and "While
Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by
Night."
George S. Beechwood played the pipe
organ accompaniment, and Robert Mil
lard played the flute.
Elizabeth Eugenia Woodbury, dra
matic reader, read an allegorical one
act play. "Dust of the Road." whose
theme is a Christmas vision that came
to a man and his wife who were about
to gain money and lose their souls, the
vision saving them.
A prayer was offered by Rev. J. H.
Matthews, of Seattle, and an address
to the children was made by Rev. Lu
ther R. Dyott, pastor of the First Con
gregational. The committee that arranged the
song service was composed of Rev. J.
J. Staub, of Sunnyside Congregational
Church; Rev. D. T. Thomas, of St
John's Congregational Church, and
Rev. Frank W. Gorman, of the Atkin
son Memorial Congregational Church.
SHIP ENDS 132-DAY VOYAGE
Calms and Head Winds Delay Song
. vand. From Australia.
ASTORIA. Or, Dec 27. (Special.)
Continued calms and head winds were
responsible for the slow run of the
overdue Norwegian ship Songvand.
which arrived this afternoon, 132 days
from Rockhampton, Australia. Cap
tain B. Fjedal, master of the vessel,
says he sailed from Rockhampton
August 17 and after passing clear of
the reefs which line the shore, ran Into
a succession of calms and head winds
that kept the vessel within a few miles
of the Australian coast for 45 days.
Frequent calms were encountered In
the South Pacific and the Songvand did
not cross the equator until November 8.
Even then the ship's hard luck con
tinued and she ran Into a series of
head winds and gales that held her al
most In one position for nearly three
weeks.
The vessel arrived in good condition,
although her bottom Is extremely foul.
Everyone on board is well.
The Songvand was picked up by the
tng Oneonta this morning about 28
miles off shore. She will be taken to
Portland tomorrow to load grain for

"KEEP ALIVE' ADVICE
Dr. Loveland Urges Hearers to
Continue Their Improvement.
GLADSTONE CITED AS IDEAL
Pastor Bemoans Time Lost in Friv
olous Pursuits When There Is
So Much to Be Done for
Ourselves and Others. '
TERSE! SAYINGS OF DR. IiOVE
LAND YESTERDAY.
If you have quit reading and study
ing you are beginning to die.
Some of you have been dead 20
years without knowing It.
Ignorance Is one of the meanest
ins of the ace.
A friend Is a sold mine.
Many kill time playing bridge whist
and reading- light novels when they
should be studying.
Years ar.d experience are valuable
to the man who is yet alive.
By ceasing to think many preach
ers cross the deadline.
"You begin to die when you stop
learning and some of you have been
dead for 20 yearn without knowing it,"
admonished Dr. Frank L. Loveland in
his sermon at the First Methodist Epis
copal Church yesterday morning on "If
I Could Live Last Year Over Again."
"Too many spend hours playing bridge
whist, reading light novels, indulging
In light, good-for-nothing frivolities,
that are not necessarily bad In them
selves. Just to kill time when they
should be improving their minds. One
of the meanest sins of the age is the sin
of Ignorance.
"My brother have 'you quit reading
and quit studying? If you have you
are beginning to die. Yesterday we
were looking for boys to do the work
but wise men have come to realize that
years and experience are worth some
thing if men are alive. The trouble
with this age is that Just about the
time we begin to understand things we
have to die.
"When does the preacher cross the
deadline? Just when he turns his bar
rel over, or stops thinking. You can
discover this everywhere In the pulpit
and. Great God. I wonder sometimes if
you can discover It In me. It Is up to
us to cultivate our brains Just as we
do our hearts."
Dr. Loveland then drew a dramatic
picture of the late William B. Glad
stone, the Grand Old Man of England
spending his eightieth year In a pro
found study of Oriental rug-making,
dyes, porcelain and coal tar products.
"When Job said 'My days are swifter
than a weaver's shuttle' he voiced your
sentiment of mind as well as your own.
The question is what sort of web are
we weaving? It was only yesterday
that we said Merry Christmas and only
the day before that we said It the time
before.
"If I were to live last year over
again I would seek to realize more
clearly the presence of God. I would
try to have that presence lead me into
all knowledge and truth, I would try
to enlarge my circle of friends and I
would try to make my life more ser
viceable. "The tragedy of old age Is that so
often it carries us away from our
friends at a time when we are not mak
ing more friends because we don't
know how. A friend Is a gold mine;
don't stop mining. A friend Is a treasure-house,
don't lose the key to It.
"Some resign from the active ser
vices of life because they say their
strength is gone. They drop aside ask
ing that others carry on the work al
most in the same spirit the man shows
when he says the world owes him' a
living. If you are such a man, havo
you money? If you are, let your money
work for you after you are dead."
PASTOR BIDS FAREWELL
Rev. J. 11. X. Bell Leaves Rose City

PLEA FOR PEACE fi
REV. X. W. LANK THINKS AMERICA
SHOULD DISARM F"OR EXASU'LE.
Belief In Fulfillment of Biblical Propb.
eciea la Affirmed and Reign of
s Christ Predicted.
"If America at thl critical moment
would take a position favoring; disarm
ament she could set the pace that would
disarm the world," said Rev. T. W. Lane
in his Christmas sermon at Centenary
Methodist Church yesterday.
"A heroic Christian Nation la needed
today," he declared, "to lead the em
pires of the world up the way to the
rule of the Prince of Peace.
"When a nation crowded with altars
and churches, owing its existence, and
its civilization to the religion of the
Prince of Peace, a nation that haa
highly exalted the Cross, shall, in the
spirit of that Cross, say to its soldiery,
'Put up thy sword into its sheath; for
all they that take the sword shall per
ish with the sword,' it will go far
toward completing the disarmament of
the world.
"How we could hasten the coming of
that rule if Christian men would resign
positions of honor, even the highest In
the Nation, rather than show sympathy
with unnecessary war."
Mr. Lane closed his sermon with an
earnest affirmation of faith in the
prophecy of Christ's second coming.
"Righteousness outlasts sin and ulti
mately will triumph over It." he said.
"Not one word of prophecy shall fail
until all be fulfilled, and the 'child
born,' the 'son given' shall become the
reigning Prince oi Peace, and the gov
ernment shall be upon his shoulder. Of
the Increase of his government and of
peace there shall be no end and bis
dominion shall be from sea to sea, and
from the rivers to the end of the earth."
