MERITS TO BE IGNORED Sleeting Is Called Merely to Decide On and Offer Basis of Settle ment to Factions "Which Have - ' Long Been in Controversy. In the hope of bringing influence to bear on the bishop and other high - officials of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this district, and thereby 'get an amicable settlement of the old Taylor-Street Church controversy, .the '". 'members of the official boards of all 1 -Methodist Episcopal Churches, with ;the exception of the First Church, have .'keen invited to attend a conference to ! -morrow night at the Sunnyside Metho , "dist Episcopal Church. Thirty-fifth and : Yamhill streets. The meeting will . : open at 8 o'clock. A voluntary committee, composed of NT H. Atchison, of the Rose City Park .- church: C. W. DeGraff. of Woodlawn: ;: H. Gordon, of Sunnyside; E. L. Keeney, ;"of Centenary; L. B. Mahone, of Central. " and J. R. Pearl, of Clinton-Kelly dis !t tricts, called the meeting. i The purpose is to formulate some ;plan whereby each faction in the i ecclesiastical controversy, may be ap- :proached in a friendly attitude. What- - ever plan is worked out will be pro- posed to each faction in the same spirit. . No discussion of the merits of the con troversy, nor as to the responsibility i 'ot the existing conditions will be per- ; - mined at the meeting. : Basis of Agreement Sought. "An earnest effort," the call reads, . :will be made to find such basis of agreement as will be acceptable to - treasonable men and women on both 'sides." ' The men interested in finding an adjustment for the controversy declare the existing condition that of the old .Taylor-Street Church members, meet- '. ling each Sunday on the outside of the ; locked doors of the historic old church, ' at Third and Taylor "streets, while the J members of the new First Church at , Twelfth and Taylor, refuse to recognize them is perilous for Methodism in Portland and surrounding community. ;The example is bad, it is argued. The ; contention which began a year ago or ; more in a most unexpected way, and ' which was carried on openly and in 'official meetings, has become it is :;Cered, tinged with a personal spirit. ' A pathetic aspect has been given to- the controversy, in that among the .insurgents" or members of the old Taylor-Street Church, who have refused "to leave their old worship ground, are many old pioneers whose works irk the interests of Methodism and in the spiritual upbuilding of the community a.re as important and memorable as .their achievements in a temporal way in developing Oregon. j Court Declines to Rule. The controversy is now in the courts for adjustment as to legal rights. Some months ago it was taken into the local Circuit Court, and heard before Judge Gatens. The legal point on which the '.case was argued then was -merely to Jtjet the old church doors' unlocked and . protect the property from sale. These ' doors now are padlocked. Judge Gatens after hearing both sides of the case iti testimony that brought out many UlCturesque Incidents in connection with the history of the church, sent both sides back to the church counsel - rooms to adjust their differences. He ; ruled in effect the state could not inter- jiose on the point in question. The members of the old Taylor-Street . Church, however, who have declined to ; Join the new First Church, maintain ; as property holders in the old church corporation they have a legal standing. The matter has been taken up before nrhe Supreme Court, but no ruling is ;oxpected. 't Tne men behind the meeting for to- morrow night believe that by concerted ; action of all Methodists in the city some adjustment can be reached, which ' will take the rather embarrassing situation, as it now is, out of the public spotlight, and eventually work to the ; benefit of all concerned. 5 - Neither Faction Invited, j : The members of the First Church : were not invited because as one faction . they were not considered impartial. . TThe old Taylor-street congregation, i which has no official church organiza tion now that the First Church has absorbed its old organization, were not iSivited either. ; The "insurgents" are maintaining the First Church has no right to lock the church doors and plan to sell the prop : erty. The First Church and the bishop. who was instrumental in bringing about i a merger of the old Taylor-street and .-the Grace churches into the new First ' Church, has proposed selling the old - property at Third and Taylor streets ; and turn the proceeds into a fund out - of which was to rise a magnificent and ' testing monument to Methodism in . -Portland -in the shape of a new First I .-Church edifice. Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. ( ET this mind be In you that was ; Ls also in Christ." With this as his :' text. Rev. E. Olin Eldridge, pastor of the Mount Tabor Methodist Church, preached on the "Hope of the World.' He said: " V'The 'hone Of the world fnr llnivprna 1 brotherhood and peace can be attained only through the mind of Christ. Unity of aim and spirit is the only unity that can make ua brethren. Unity of lan :guage, of law, of races, of religious rites, of social bonds, cannot, of them selves, bind men and society together. it must be a unity of heart with Christ, a living truth written upon the souls of men by the spirit of God, the mind or tjnrlst in us. "NVe hear much of the immortality of thfe works of great men, but he only is grandly immortal who, from his own ;iiTled soul, communicates the mind of ; Christ to others." "Give Christianity a chance in Port land and we shall have a federation of all the churches at work unitedly for all the p.eople at all times." This was the plea of Dr. Luther R. Dyott who delivered a strong sermon yesterday on the subject "Give Chris tianity a Chance." In part Dr. Dyott said. "Christianity ;is a system of religion and a spirit. .'As a system it possesses some things ToTlnd in other religions; but, the spirit of Jesus Christ makes it an expression '3f' divine life. Its perpetuity depends Vpon this spirit but its effects upon the individual and upon our total humanity are determined by the reception of the . 'spirit of Christ on the-part of human beings and their expression of the Fame. This volitional reception never '. has been adequate to the divine con- .- . teata of the spirit.

They are going to name the new waterfront parlc "Mulkey Park after F. W. Mulkey, and we called up Geo. .Baker the other day to talk to him about It and he thought we said "Monkey Park" over the phone, which was considered a rare wheeze by everybody but F. W., whom we havent's mentioned It to yet. Walt Honeyman, the w. k, clubman, society favorite, etc., as our est. contemp. flattering ly styles him, caught his fif in burglar the other night, and the fad will probably spread among the chaps of the younger set it the run of burglars continues ind they can find out what bait Walt la using. Jim Nicholson was In town the other day with several other Klks, he being the exalted ruler of the same, and K. K. Kubll and the boys took him around and showed him the City Park and the Museum at the City Hall. We have not yet ascer tained whether Frank Hennessey sang, but we think he dtd. Milt St. John said In his ser mon at the Seventh Day Ad ventist meeting the other night that he saw peace afar, but did not state whether his date agreed with those mentioned re cently by W. Hohenzollern, who, it will be remembered, is now Interested in a war in Europe. Alex. Phemister Proctor was over from New York last wk. He Is a sculptor, but tnere is verjs little sculping to be done In Portland at present. We sug gested that he might try his hand at replacing the Iron mer maid that was bust off of the drinking fountain at Sixteen m and Washington, and said we would speak to him about It, which we would have done, only our friends prevented us from meeting him when they heard of our Intention. We regard their action as calculated to throw stumbling blocks in the path of the progress of art. The National ILaundry men's Association and the Sons of the American Revolution were con ventionlng in our midst the past wk., not, however. In conjunc tion with each other. Both ex pressed the. opinion that too much alien Influence was bad for the country. However, we understand that they did not have the same aliens In- mind at the time. P. P. Claxton, ITnlted States Commissioner of Education, was In our midst Just before the Sons of the American Revolu tion were. We were explaining to Doc rammasch the other day that Monday, July 26, 1915. JDKAN COLLINS. Editor. EDITORIAL W see. by our est. contemp.. The Oregonlan. that the Gideon band In Dei Moines is launch ing a Summer campaign against Uio evil of swearing. They will have cards on which Is printed Twelve Good Reasons for Kot Swearing," and will present tiiese cards courte ously to strangers wno coma amongst their midst with loos ened and profane tongue. We gather Irom the schema of campaign that the citizens of tes Moines are. themselves, immaculate as regards swear ing, or are so hardened into t that the cards are regarded as useless for borne consumption. Juiit as ws in Fortianu, who have seen the Columbia High way until It is an old story to us. greet our tourists with a, "Welcome, go out over the Co lumbia Highway." the tourist In Des Moines will be greeted with, "Welcome, here are 12 good rea sons for not swearing.'' -Before this campaign la launched, however. The Craw fish vould counsel the Gideon bandboy to search their hearts deeply and ascertain whether, in les Moines, streetcar- conductors and taxicab drivers are invari ably courteous, whether the cops are Chesterfleldlan, whether the climate is always balmy and beautiful. whether. in short, there may not exist in their fair city as many reasons pro as there are con. We have ourselves known the time whcn the presentation of such a card as they propose would have caused us to develOD In our souls an antitoxin to powerful that none of the 12 reasons to be mentioned on the card wculd "take." In fact, we are not so certain that the approach of a gentle Gideon bander to slip us his card, would not. In Itself, con stitute, to our benighted mind, a reason so powerful lor turn ing loose the founts of our ora tory that we never would get o read past the heading on the card. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. !. C. Longakcr, of Bradford, Pa., was in our ml dm last vk. He Is In the oil business ith J. Hockerfeller and is said to be doing well. Ktl. Dunne, of Chicago, and Win Hammond, of Minnesota, were in our midst recently hang ing around with Pat McArthur and C. C. Colt and the other boys. They are governors of Il linois and Minnesota respect ively. T. Roosevelt was In the city Mon., and all seven of the Pro gressive party in Oregon went down to the depot to greet him. Shad Krantz, of our eat. con temp. The Oregonlan, was down to see him, too, but he informs us he merely went to discuss the present status of .Armaged don and not as a warhorse of the Prorresaive Party. Tige Reynolds, who has been serving for a year at an enor mous salary as cartoonist for The Crawfish, has been given a vacation on full pay and went down to Calif, the other day to blow said pay in. Hal White will leave today on the U. S. cruiser Albany for San Francisco, representing our est. contemp.. The Oregonlan. H said he wouldn't leave his fam ily if it were not that duty calls and he feels sure that the cruis er Is not going to run Into the submarine zone. George Lovejoy, the w. k. Ins. man, informed us the other day that Friday, July 30. Is the an niversary of his birthday and his wedding day. and Is the day that Vm. Jennings Bryan is go ing to visit Portland. And then he went on down the street without explaining to us the the form or system has been substituted for the spirit itself. Sometimes con viction has been at the expense of knowledge and tolerance, then again, breadth has sacrificed depth so at times men have done the most irreligious things in the name of religion through their blind convictions and at other times a weakness for breadth has pre cluded the dynamic of Christianity as a matter of fact. Give Christianity a chance and wars will cease. Give Christianity a chance and it will chris tianize that in itself which some people have paganized." e a Rev. Frank W. Gorman, pastor of the Atkinson Memorial Congregational Church, who has just returned from California, preached yesterday morning on the topic: "How to Impart Christian Principles. He said: "The teacher must learn the prin ciples suggested by the Apostle Paul in his letter to Timothy. He must not strive, but be gentle, apt to teach, and in meekness correct those wno oppose themselves. "There is -no need to strive, or make strife." said Mr. Gorman, "in order to impart to man the knowledge of re ligious principles. Proof of truth, con cerning which men differ is based upon statements of truth with which men agree. To find the points of agreement. therefore, is to find the sure basis of agreement." COAST ROAD IS INSPECTED District Forester Cecil and Party Travel Around Cape Perpetua. NEWPORT. Or, July 25. (Special.) A party consisting of George H. Cecil, district forester of the Northwest; Shirley Buck, Mrs. Buck and B. J.

" Mr. Cecil's trip was to inspect the road, and he found the work done satisfactory. Lane County has not yet completed its share of the road from Waldport, Alsea Bay, to Florence, on the Siuslaw.

'BE EARNEST" IS PLEA Essential Factor In Baseball Also Is Watchfulness. So Good lie solves and High Ideals Neces sary, Says Rev. Mr. Smith. EXTRACTS FROM PLAY BALI, SKHMO RV RKV. It. EL.HKK SMITH. Ball playing is a clean, manly and comparatively safe game. Many people blame the Almighty for things for which they should blame themselves. Earnestness and watchfulness are essentials In ball playing and In the game of life. Some are put out on flrsf by bad company; on "second" by lust; at "third" by appetite and fall of reaching "home" by bad choices. Play the game well, persistent ly and to a glorious finish. "Play ball!" This familiar call may not. after all. belong alone to modern America. Way back In the musty past the good old prophet Isaiah wrote these words: He will turn and toss thee like a ball." They are found in Isaiah, twen. ty-second chapter, verse eighteen, and In them the Rev. R. Elmer Smith found Inspiration (or an interesting sermon which he preached last nig-at In Sunnyside Methodist Church. His subject was. "Play Ball." "In ball playing." said Dr. Smith, "the , majority only get part way home. 6om are stranded at first; some perish at second and some die at third. How suggestive this is wjen ap plied to the game of life! There are many who start welL They have good resolves, high Ideals, lofty ambitions, hut after a time we find them In a more or less helpless condition on the moral and spiritual highways ot life. "Some are put out at first by bad company; some at second by lust; some at third by appetite. It Is infinitely sad to see a man fail to reach home be cause he fails to persist in right choices." "Ball playing is our great National sport. It is a clean, manly and com paratively safe game. 1 have an im pression that if our Lord were in our midst he would suggest eome helpful lessons from this game which Is famil iar to every American. "In every game of ball there are two sides. So in the greater game of life there are two eides. the wrong and the right, the side of sin and the side of righteousness, the side of error and the side of trut.i. In these days there are too many folk who fail to draw a sharp distinction between these two sides. They try to play on both sides of the game at the same time. They Indulge in moral compromise and trifle with convictions. Earnestness and watchfulness are essential factors in ball playing. A game is sometimes referred to as snappy game. This simply means that every player was constantly "on his Job.' How many folks in this world lose out in the game of life simply because they fail to exercise earnestness and watchfulness. "If we win in the game of life we must lmit.-te the alert ballplayer on the field who watches witn eagle eye for every movement of the rival team "A ball game cannot be played with out an umpire. He watches every phase of the game and renders all de cisions. Thfre is no appeal from hla Judgment- How suggestive this is of the solemn fact that we must all ap pear before the Judgment seat of Christ: that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. "There will be no appeal from the decisions of the Great J urine of all men. His Judgment will be final in every case." MOOT HOOD RESORT.

"Prove All Things; Hold Fast to That Which Is Good." waa the subject of the sermon yesterday morning at the First U'niversaltst Church, Uroad way and East Twenty-fourth street, by Professor U. E. Huntley, of the St. Lawrence University, of New York. He pointed oat the text applies to the truth-seeker, the freethinker, the in vestigator, and puts to test real condi tions, throwing axide the nonessentials. "What is worth while? Is religion worth while?" asked Dr. Huntley, and he answered his own question affirma tively. He said religion is man's dis tinction fiom the animal aud makes life real and beautiful. He pointed out that the church rep resents sympathy, consultation and co operation, ot which the world stands in need. "What would be the. result If every church closed Its doors; if every Sun day school ceased its work; and every minister should cease to speak of God and go Into business?" he asked. "The Christian church means the brother hood of man. and the Christian church Is still the real hope of the world." He said that the Unl versallst church has a distinct mission of Us own.
