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.

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

There is a large Sunday school and so

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.

Views of Children Shown.
Rev. L. K. Richardson, pastor of the

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

The war-less world of the future will
depend on the "war children" of today.
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

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."
