"Is it nothing to you, ye who pass by? Behold and see if there Be any sorrow like unto my sorrow." This was the text from which the bishop spoke. He said: "Possibly we are a part of the great procession that we may catch a glimpse of the man of Galilee. Possibly we are here through remorse; nerhaps through curiosity: perhaps be cause the world has called us to be here.

I do not know for sure, but 1 would say there is no such thing as Hebrew hu mor. Poetry? Yes; no people have more. Wit? Yes; superb, immeasurable. Invincible wit. But humor? I'm uncertain. I doubt if, in the ordinary sense of the word, humor is a natural product of the Jewish race." So says Harry First, who plays Perlmutter in "Potash and Perl mutter," soon at the Heilig Thea ter. "And yet the Jews are 'really the most humorous people the world has ever known. There is a curious bent in the mind of every Jew which gives a twist of its own to everything, and he is at once so shrewd and so sim ple, so serious and so hopeful, so cautious and yet eo daring, so suspicious and yet so trustful, so desirous to be honest and yet so human, he cannot but be a hu morist. But of most of It he is unconscious. But when it comes to creating humor on the stage the Jew leads easily." Kev.

I A church that gives a new J thought of God and man. - A church that is open day and night,- and a church that has lost the keys to all its doors. A church that is an open door of hope to the community, to the down and out, the distressed, the needy. A church that fights man's in humanity to man and keeps the devil and hell out of men. A church that teaches that punishment is reformatory, not for revenge. A church that invites any one who is weary, discouraged, blue, to attend services; a church whose atmosphere is good health and optimism.

" Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. ETWEEN attending special Holy Week services and paying neces sary visits to the dressmaker and milliner, the maids and matrons of smart society will have little time for entertaining until after Easter. A few informal affairs are planned and some interesting lectures are to be given, but teas, bridge and dancing will not be much in vogue this week. Among the sub-dobutantes and younger college folk some small par ties are heralded, but on .account of the season these will not be at all elab orate. Matinee parties and luncheons will afford the principal entertainment of the young people. Miss Florence Holmes went to Eu gene for the week-end. She is a guest at Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house. Miss Olga Charlotte Hendricksen be came the wife of R. Bugge at a pretty wedding at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Hendricksen. 606 Buffalo street, Friday morning, at 11 o'clock.

It is made necessary -by sin; the losses occasioned by sin and the need of salvation from sin. The Bible is full of these three things, and full of examples of men who experience them. Sin, sacrifice, substitution, through suffering, unto salvation are elemental axioms in hu man experience. One sins, another pays the penalty of that sin through sacrificial suffering. "Suffering must he voluntary: sub stitution must be for salvation and sac rifice must be prompted by love. "Jesus, speaking of his own sacrifi cial, substitutionary death on the cross, said. The hour is come that the Son of Man must be glorified.' He stated the law that led him to Calvary in these words; 'Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat faH into the ground and die, it abidcth alone; but if it die it bringeth forth much frulr.' v 'The life with no cross is selfish and lonely. The life that, at a Gethsemane, suffers and dies, brings forth fruit unto life eternal." And the multitude that went before and that followed cried, saying. "HoEannt to the na of David; Messed is he that Cometh la tlie name of the Lord; Hosanna in the luKhest." Matthew xxi-H. "Just as Christ came to people In those far-off days, he is coming to us now. If we rise to accept him we may have a beginning of a new era in our lives." was the conclusion reached by Rev. J. M. Skinner, pastor of the Rose City Park Presbyterian Church, in his Palm Sunday sermon yesterday morn ing, when he spoke on "The Triumphal Entry." Dr. Skinner said: "On Passion Sunday Christ announced to his disciples the necessity of his I death. From that date onward the events in his career seem to converge toward the tragedy of the cross. But before that hour should finally come he -was to be the center of a last out break of popular enthusiasm. He cpent his last Sabbath in the quiet of the home of Martha and Mary at Bethany, and with the dawn of Sunday was on the road to his passion hour. Jia he Journeyed out of Bethany a group she was attended by her sister, Miss Hilda Hendricksen, who was daintily attired in a pink China silk, draped with -lace. Mrs. Hendricksen, the bride's mother, wore a bottle-green silk crepe. The bridegroom was at tended by his brother, B. Bugge. The bride was given away by her father, C. F. Hendricksen. Miss Bertha Scheimer played the wedding march and Miss Haynes sang "Until You Came." H. Sabro, of Bandon. Or., and H. Kallandsrud, of Mosler, Or., were out-of-town guests. After the cere mony Mr. and Mrs. Bugge left on the Shasta Limited for San Francisco. On their return from California they will reside in Marshfield, where Mr. Bugge is connected with the Scandinavian American Bank.

AL The sixth anniversary of the break ing ground for the new building for the First Universalist Church, at the southeast corner of East Twenty-fourth and Broadway streets, was observed yesterday morning at the church, and Rev. James D. Corby, the pastor, re viewed what had been accomplished since the work was started. He pre faced his sermon at the morning serv ice with a statement of the attitude of the Universalist Church toward Christ, which he declared w "putting his spirit into your life." "Six years age a few here today were i present at ine 'im chuil-h win; cwiai on East Eighth tnd East Couch streets. said Rev. Mr. Corby, "and alter we had met we came out here in the rain and broke the ground for this church, which was to be a community church, a church for the whole people, for the rich and poor, the high and low. And you will remember that matchless address by Rev. W. H. McGlauflin under the trees that thrilled our souls and filled our minds. Tou will remember that H. W. Scott, then editor of The Oregonian, now gone from among us, said that this address was in accord with the true spirit of Christianity and humanity. Accomplishments Are Told. "Since that 'time we may well ask. What have we done? You have sup ported the services and through your co-operation made it possible for the pastor to do his work among you. The children and young people have been, coming here and receiving inspiration for character-building. It may be that they have been taught no dogmas, but they have been taught love to God and humanity. Through this church and its life the standard of life has been made a little higher and life better. 'Hundreds have been coming to this church for help, and they have received it without price. Week after week the sick, the distressed have been coming here for help through the past six years and have received it. A steady stream of people have come to the open door of this church and been received and helped.' We have given what we had to give, sometimes not money, for we had little, but comfort and cheer and encouragement that have enabled them to take up the duties of life with new hope und energy. Some have received our assistance silently without words of appreciation, which makes one sad; not that we wanted pay or thanks, but appreciation would have been encourag ing to the pastor and people of this church. Many have received our help in this community, and have done noth ing to help this church in its mission to serve humanity. Ability to Help Pleases. "Jesus Christ did not come on earth for thanks and praises, and so we are glad today that we have been able to help humanity even though some have not shown appreciation, but it would have been so much better for those we have helped had they shown apprecia tion. And hence in closing I want to thank the teachers, the members and the trustees and all others who have helped to make this church an open door of hope to this community and to tins worm. Rev. Mr. Corby also outlined what he referred to as the platform of the First Universalist Church. It is a church that gives a new thought of God and man; that is open day and night and has lnt the, keys to all its doors, he said. "It is an open door of hope to the com munity, to the down and out, the dis tressed, the needy," he asserted: "a church that fights man's inhumanity to man ana Keeps tne aevu and hell out of men: a church that teaches that punishment is reformatory,. not for re- , The great success of our special coffee offer in December was so marked and made so many new friends for this excellent coffee, that we have decided to repeat the offer.
