After having: been suspended dur Ing the Festival week, the campaign of the Associated Charities has been .resumed to raise a S5000 maintenance fund to make it possible to continue relief work throughout the Summer, in stead of being- obliged to close until the first of October for lack of finan cial support. The reopening of the campaign is marked by the announcement of the largest contribution thai has been made since the can 'ass was begun. This is a pledge of $120 sent in by the Crown "Willamette Paper Mill Com pany, and this sum, with minor con tributicns that came in through the week m spite of the suspension of the active campaign, has swelled the to tal ircm $1000 to $1150 as a starter for the last half of the campaign. Tak Stilt Large Oaie. While the responses were coming in with great rapidity when the cam paiga wai temporarily suspended, the fund was then only one-fifth oi the amount required, and it is atul a mat ter of some concern to the directors of the Charities, whether they will be able to complete the full amount be fore the and of this month, when the campaign is to be finally closed. Arrangements have been made to dis cense with the Fresh Air car.:pai?n this Summer and to confine the activities of the Charities solely to the relief work that is quite imperative, in hopes of conserving the funds and making them cover as much relief work as possible. The Charities has been receiving some encouraging letters and dona tions in the past few days. One Letter Given Oat. "While the nature of our service is such," wrote one contributor, "that we are continually called upon to render charity in one form or another, u e feel that there Is no one so deserving as the women and children to whom Me understand your work principally ap plies. We are inclosing herewith a check for $15, together with our slncer est wishes for success in your worthy cause. One of the needs that many will no doubt be eager to supply Is a home for a beautiful baby girl, who has become the ward of the Charities. Ar rangements may possibly be made for the adoption of the child. Another case that has aroused deep sympathy Is that of a young woman who is a hopeless cripple and is in need of a wheeled-chair. She is sick and has no friends in this city. Typical Cases Cited. Among the many applicants for aid Saturday were the following: 1. Man can get little work, wife has been sick all winter; six children doctor says the woman would be helped if Bhe could be fitted with glassed, but no money is available for this. 2.

The Roadmajster'a report will be sub mltted to the County Commissioners some time this week, it is said N awards are expected to bo made to lay. but representatives of all the pav lnar companies are still waiting in Port land to see the result of the confer ences, which will be held this week between the Commissioners and Mr. Yeon. Almost every brand of popular pav ing la represented in the bids. Each firm submitted a price on each of sev eral kinds of paving for more than 20 sections of roadway. Into which the highways have been divided for the purpose of letting sectional contracts. Services Held for Captain Pope. The open-air services In front of the old Taylor-Street Methodist Church yeaterdar morning took the form of a memorial to the late Captain Will iam H. Pope, who died Wednesday. Captain Pope was a member of the church for about a half a century. Masses of flowers were banked on the walls under the window dedicated to Father Wilbur, a close friend of Cap tain Pope and the founder of the church. The services consisted of an address by lay members. B. Lee Paget. Samuel Connell and W. C. Thurlow, and special music by Messrs. Boyer, Hansen. Stansbery and Idleman. I ; It t 2 IP--- 'resident Smith and Others Dedicate Building. ALL EXPENSES ARE PAID 'ew Home Opened to Service With Debts Met and History of Denom ination and Its Work Told Of in Several Addresses. ' Joseph F. Smith, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), with the assist ance of Bishop Charles W. Nibley, pre siding bishop, and Rev. Melvln J. Bal lard, the local pastor and district presi dent, dedicated the beautiful edifice of the Portland congregation at the south east corner of Fast Madison and East Twenty-third streets, yesterday after. noon, practically free of debt. After music by the chorr Rev. Mr. Ballard delivered the welcome and made a statement of the finances and history of the Portland church. He said that the erection of the building was maae possible through the general church fund and local assistance. He said that the congregation outgrew the building at the corner of East Tenth and East Sherman streets, a larger structure being necessary to carry on the church activities. Cost Below Estimates. While the estimates of the coet had been $12,000, Rev; Mr. Ballard said, the actual cost was $9500, and there are no obligations that cannot he met. He expressed his gratification that the church had been finished, and that it was much better than at first contem plated, the more elaborate plans being made possible by friends in Portland. The congregation accented the report of Rev. Mr. Ballard and received the church. Bishop Nibley delivered the dedicatory address, and gave a review of the history, work and progress of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, founded 95 years ago, through the reve lation of God to Joseph Smith, then a lad 15 years of age. He pointed out that the church had -been a missionary lorce, placing tens of thousands on landa where they could have homes in peace and happiness. Chare li Accomplishments Related. "It has founded cities and factories." he said. "It believes in education and elevating the people, and its mission arles have gone about the world carry ing the gospel of hope, helpfulness and peace. It has built mills and opened new country. It has produced results. "And now after 95 years of this work." said Bishop Nibley, "Is it right to suppose that the Mormon Church was founded upon a lie? No, indeed. The vision of Joseph Smith was a 'true vis ion, and the Book of Mormons revealed to him was a true revelation. These results show that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has stood the test for the past 95 years. By its fruits ye shall know it. We have Just returned from the Sandwich Islands, where President Smith founded a plan tation of 7000 acres 61 years ago. Progress of Natives Explained. "We have done more for the natives there than all the other churches com bined. The people have good homes. They do not live in huts, as formerly. They have their schools and we teach them industry. That is the policy of our church, to found schools, to help the needy, to bring hope to tens of thousands in this land and see that they get homes. To educate and to elevate is our object. Do these results indicate that this church has been a failure?" President Smith, who followed, spoke briefly and said Bishop Nibley had told the whole story of the Mormon Church and what it stands for, and he only added that all the property the church has obtained is held in trust for the benefit of the world at large. "We dedicate this church to God, who owns it." aaid President Smith. "As every Mormon home is dedicated to peace and love, and not to strife, and as we dedicate the farm." Relief Society Sleets Today. Following the addresses the dedica tory prayer was delivered by President Smith, after which a social time was held. Last night President Smith preached to a large congregation.. This morning at 10 o'clock there will be a conference of the Relief Society of the Northwest mission, which will be attended by four women of the genera relief board. Mesdames Julina Smith Rebecca NJbley, Junetta Hyde and Emma Empey. A concert and enter tainment will be given tonight under the auspices of the relief society. The new church is unique. It Is , Spanish in archltectura and the plan were furnished by Fopa & Burton, of Salt Lake City. It has built-in flower boxes under the opalescent glass win dows. Floral decorations were beautiful and the space outside the cnorcb is occupied with flowers. The church was built o rick, concrete and steel, the celling be ing supported by steel girders, which docs away with posts in the auditorium. There is a large Sunday school and so cial room in the basement. DEAN RAMSEY IS SPEAKER Baccalanreate Sermon to Graduates of St. Helen' Given.

Smith. have life and that it might be more abundant." Dean Ramsey explained to them the purpose of the schooling they had Just completed. The purpose of all-" culture Is the building of character for life. This is the reason for the training you have received," said Dean Ramsey. "To take the life bestowed by God. to cultivate it to the full and carry out his pur poses, and then to return that life to the father, is the divine purpose of humanity." He urged them to cultivate life to its fullest extent. To beware of the prevailing: tendency towards living in the spirit of questioning all things in stead of in a spirit of faith in God. To remember that, without religion. lite at best is without the purpose in tended by the Maker. He referred to the great interna tional difficulties which now confront the Nation. "At such times as this, he said, "it seems that our faith must be placed in the hands of one man When that man has been living a life devoted to the purposes of God, then that man is able to rise to the situa tion and Justify the faith placed In him." Dean Ramsey drew a lesson from the I condition of strife prevailing: in the world today. "Because men reject the religious side of life they are lacking in the spirit of kindliness towards others," he said. "They are not living up to the purpose of life.'.' In conclud ing he Impressed upon his congrega tion the thought that the young people going out into the world must ever strive towards the highest ideals In order to live up to their real life pur pose.

There are 32,700 children in the Sun day schools of Portland, equal to the enrollment of the public schools of the city. To teach this large number '3300 officers and teachers are required. Many of these thousands of children celebrated Children's day in . the churches with programmes and exer cises yesterday. Many others celebrat ed a week ago yesterday. Churches, representing practically all the de nominations of the city, had their serv ices either in the morning or at night in honor of the day and. in some in stances, drills, tableaus and choruses of an elaborate nature were given. At the First Presbyterian Church. in addition to the regular Children's day observance, graduation exercises of the various departments of the Sun day School were held at the morning session. Medala Are Awarded. - Medals were also given to those who had shown a perfect record of at tendance through the entire year. In fant baptism was also a feature of the day's services, as it was in practically all the churches where Children's day was observed. A feature of the service at the Rose City Park Community Church was the first appearance of the new vested choir girls of the Sunday School un der the direction of Chester J. Hogue. Flowers were distributed last night at the- special services for Children a day at Calvary Presbyterian Churen. In addition to the regular programme In the morning at the First Congre gational Church an illustrated lectura was given at night by J. H. Matthews. of Seattle, general superintendent of the state Sunday school work in ash- lngton. The lecture dealt with vari ous phases of the Sunday school work in that state. Views of Children Shown. Rev. L. K. Richardson, pastor of the East Side Baptist Church, gave a ser mon for the children last night, which was illustrated with slides showing children of other lands. This was as a supplement to the programme of the morning. Native Syrians, dressed in Oriental costume, appeared at the Anabel Pres byterian Church in connection with the Children's day ceremonies and spoke of their manners and customs at home. The children's choir rendered music at the services at the Atkinson Memo rial Congregational Church and proved a popular and attractive feature of the day's observance. A tableau and song given hv the girls of Mrs. Bartholomew's class of the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday scnool formed an at tractive close to the programme of the morning. The. girls were in costume and the tableau was particularly ef fective. Dogs' "Woof" tbe Same. FRIENDSHIP, Wis.. June 8. Do.

The greatest hope of universal peace is not in strategic statesmanship, nor in modern diplomatic discourse, - be cause the foundation is wrong. When war shall carry the same odium of duels, and become as obsolete as tournaments in "the days of old when knights were bold." then may the world hope for universal peace. In brief this is the view of Miss Grace DeGraff. principal of Kenton School, who recently returned from The Hague peace conference of women, to which she was a delegate, who spoke yester day morning at the T. W. C. A. to the members of the Berean Bible class of the First Christian Church, and again last night at Rose City Park Presby terian Church. . . - i Proper Training; Important. In both addresses her contention was that proper training of the children of today, when they can see the result of terrific warfare, will have a great deal to do in bringing about world peace. That, she said, was why the activity of women in the peace move ment today meant so much and had such an undisputed bearing on current events. "The majority of the citizens of the nations of the world at the present time do not want war," she said, "but It has been thrust upon them by the small minority in power." "There was a time when trial by combat was in vogue, but the world outgrew that and courts were estab lished. For a time quarrels were set tled hv duelinar. hut that. too. is a thing 1 of the past. The only disputes now that are settled by killing men are na tional disputes, and they Justiry sucn murder by saying It is for honor. Just as they used to Justify dueling in the old days." Killing; Alike In Both Caoesw The speaker declared that it was Just as silly to settle national dis putes by killing as it was private dis putes. She said that the Congress realized that the only way to bring about world peace was to educate the people to be ready for it and to do this it was neces sary to begin with the children. We must show them the truth about war, she declared. To Degin witn, the average book of history is unfair. The greater part of its pages is de voted to war and war heroes and nothing is said about the horrors of warfare. In the Boer war five women and children died for every man who was kflled on the battlefield, but this fact is not mentioned in the histories." Speaking of the atrocities of the present war, the speaker said that they were the natural result of warfare. 'They are the result of minds driven insane by the sight of continual blood and murder." she said, "and we must of necessity have them as long as we have warfare. Resolution la Emphasised. Miss De Graff emphasized particu larly the resolution adopted by the congress urging that the governments adopt a law making it possible for only the legislative body, representing the people, to declare war. She expressed the belief that with such a law in practice, the battle for peace would be half won. The speaker told of the first idea of real warfare which was received fly the American delegates to the congress when they were held up by an Eng lish ship of war in the Channel and the vessel searched. The congress, she declared, repre sented the opening of a new line of work for the women of the world. "It is time for us to rise to the oc casion," she said, "that the thought of the world may be turned to other channels than that of war. If women are going down to death's door time and again at childbirth, they are going to have something to say as to wheth er those men, whom they have brought into the world, are not worth more than to be put up as mere targets. Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. THAT the war ultimately will be for the good of humanity was pre dicted by Rev. E. S. Bollinger, pastor of the Highland Congregational Church, in his sermon yesterday morning. He said he believed God is working through the war to bring about the betterment of the world. The pastor traced God's workings in VIEW OF THE CELRO-KOLA FLOAT The scene presented is that of a Celro-Kola Summer garden, with real blue-grass lawn, wind ng walk, pergola, iwlns flowers, vines, palms and hanging baskets.

The minister Baid that there were three thinzs for man to do to get ac quainted with the Scriptures, which is the record of uoa s Deing nere; to get the spirit of Jesus Christ; and to enter into service for God. The need of utilizing the experience and wisdom gained In the past in order that there may be advancement in tne future was the thought advanced by Rev. J. J. Staub, pastor of Sunnyside Congregational Church, in his sermon on "The Conservation of Past Achieve ments." yesterday morning. The speaker said this was particularly true of the church and that this was no time for the members to rest on tneir oars, even though they had a history of success behind them. "The best things we enjoy only through toil," he said, "and it is through that only that advancement it made." The pastor urged tne necessity oi continuing the struggle and of heaping up more successes. -Hold fast till I come," " he quoted. and then continued: "There is great danger in letting go, in relaxing a mo ment from the light and taking a mo ment's respite by virtue of past achievements." The world's idea of Jesus Christ is srraduallv growing broader, according to Rev. L. K. Grimes, of the Central Presbvterian Church, who spoke on the subject, "The Future Christ" yesterday morning. "Christ Is the same yesterday and today and forever." he said, "but it is our conception of him which is chang ing." The speaker said that, with that change in conception, the power of the Messiah was becoming greater and was wielding an influence in the life of the world and bringing the nations, nearer together. The speaker predicted that the time would come when the politics and social life of the world would be ruled by the standards of the "man of Nazereth." "When that time comes," he said, "there will be no more war. "There was a time when our God was a provincial God in the conception of the people of him; now he is a cosmo politan God and in the near future he will be universal." Wife Sues Hymn Writer's Son.
