Hofer, the distinguished lit terateur, was seen in the Im perial the other day wearing his LABOR PULPIT TOPIC Relation to Church Considered by Many Pastors. SCHOOLS ALSO DISCUSSED Rev. J. M. Skinner, Among Others, Says Purpose of Religion Slust Be Brought Home to Worker and Responsibility Emphasized. 'Is the laboring man getting out of touch with the church? . , 'If the laboring people quit coing- to church, who is to blame?" These were among the questions dis cussed yesterday in the labor day ser mons preached by Portland pastors. In a large number of churches the ques tion of labor formed the theme of the sermons. In others the public schools were discussed. Last night Rev. J. M. Skinner, pastor of the Rose City Presbyterian Church, took up the church's responsibility and its attitude toward the man who is called a "laborer." He said: "I have been trying to think this week over the assertion so frequently that workingmen do not go to church. Is that statement true? And if the working people have quit going to chnrch what are the reasons? Cer tainly it cannot be that they have a quarrel with Christ. "I cannot believe that the creat mass of workers are out of touch with him. If they are out of touch at all, it must be that they are separating themselves from an institution which they feel or fancy does not represent him. Many of them have forsaken the church through a feeling of humiliation in attending its services. Laboring men are sensitive to the inequality of ap pearance enrorced upon them by the inequality of was;e. Many or the laboring people are for saking the church from a feeling that tne ministers or the church today is out of touch with labor life. Then. too. many of the laboring people have left the church because, rightly or wrongly, they have conceived the church to be a class institution. "Some laboring people have left the church because they are led by grossly deceived and deceiving leaders. Hut the great and gratlfvinir feature of the whole labor movement is this: that the vast majority of laborers have not lert the church. And what shall the church Bay to the men who work? Believe in the church because it is made of those who are banded together for the purpose of trying io onng more cheer and glad ness to the thousands of burdened hearts." At the morning session Dr. Skinner took up the subject made opportune by the approaohing opening, of the schools. He termed the public schools "the melt ing pot into which are poured the dif- erent elements making up the popula tion." He criticised the vocational feature as containing an element of danger as well as good, but he scouted the ch&rsra made by Richard Grajjt. White that the IT NEVErM CRABS" PORTLAND, OREO., MULT. CO..

The European war, which was coming in over the A.

A total cessation of European hostilities was only averted by a concerted rush of the Copy Desk into the hallway, quenching the enthusiasm of the band, while it was still on Its way to Dublin Bay. and George Lee and W.

The one great weakness, he held, was the fact that the Bible is not used in the public schools as the basis of moral training. "Richard Grant White made a sweep ing charge that the public schools are a failure, and are really schools of crime and dishonesty and vice, but sta tistics prove otherwise." said Rev. Mr. Skinner. "It is in the public schools that the American boy and girl become capable and efficient, able to make a living. Brain is uppermost. There is ab solutely equality in the public schools." Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. HRIST was the only real social V. reformer," said Dr. William Wal lace Youngson, pastor of the Rose City Park Methodist Church, who, with other pastors, yesterday preached a Labor day sermon. His topic was "The Arti san and the Church." Dr. Youngson said that the tendency of most of the prominent leadens in labor movements is to level down, while Christianity ia the doctrine of level ing up. "Jesus Christ was a reformer." he said. "He has leveled up the race through his emphasis on the equality of man. Jesus Christ has dignified labor. Art has crowned him with a halo. Better have him wear oftener the square cap of a carpenter." a Dr. T. W. Lane, pastor of Centenary Methodist Church, in his sermon last night on "The Cleansing Power of Truth." said: "Society is no longer secure when truth is no longer its chief ornament. "Do not imagine that truth is badly preached because it is seriously op posed. "The eagerness of the seeker to find helps to place him where he may be sought and found. "There are great truths that need no signing. "The truth lets in the light, and light is a great cleanser. "Whenever truth is buried, it is buried alive, and immediately begins to burrow towards the light. "There are truths that are not suffi cient for a man's wilderness of mighti est temptation, or a woman's Ueth semane of heart-crushing grief. "The truth-speaker will always create great opposition, but he is the safety of society. "The man who will discover the next phase of truth and reveal it may have to die for his pains, but the truth he reveals will live. "The truth is never in danger. "Draw near to truth and it will draw near to you. "The very fact that there is falsehood means that there is truth." "Xever have I ministered to a con gregation where there was such irregu larity in the worship of God as in this one." said Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, yester day morning-, as he took for his sub ject in his first sermon, following his month's vacation, "The Worship of God ts Place ani Value in Man's Life." "I know not the reason for this." he continued, "but if we fully realized the true meaning of the worship of God it would not be so. Without the worship of God we become petty, our characters become sordid, refuse to develop into that greater, vaster being, the pur pose, the aim for which we were placed on this earth." The First Presbyterian Church is now without an assistant pastor, and Dr. Boyd pleaded for greater help from the congregation members through the Winter.

Dr. Findley, of First United Presby terian Church Declare Bible Has Only Safe Moral Code. "The value of a good education is the most self-evident thinsr in life. Knowledge is power and efficiency. Ignorance is weakness and failure." "Hats off to our Nation's schools." This was the general trend of the ser mon delivered yesterday bv the Rev Frank D. Findley. of the First United Presbyterian Church, who was one of the many pastors who took the public schools as the inspiration for his sermon. Dr. Findley cited as illustrations many of the great men of history who had achieved success and had made great inventions and discoveries for the well-being of humanity, and these he said, were all men who had studied profoundly. He said: "One of the greatest enter prises of the Nation is the educational system. If we think of the capital invested, the handsome buildings erected, the acreage of land devoted to buildings, campuses and play grounds, the number of conscientious teachers devoted to the task of pre paring our youth for citizenship, the vast army of children and young peo ple enrolled as pupils, the magnitude of the enterprise grows upon us. It reflects honor upon our citizens that they prize our youth so highly, cheer fully making provision for their wel fare and striving to give them the op portunities for a successful life. "It has become an axiom that our public schools be kept free from poli tics and sectarianism. It has become an axiom also that any system of edu cation that fails to keep in vision the fact that our boys and girls ara mnrnl and religious beings is blind and de fective. It is axiomatic also that the Bible is the only book that that enn furnish us with a safe code of morals and a true system of religion." Dr. Findley spoke of the Gary plan, the Colorado and New York City plans, as the promising jfforts on the part of educators to give the Bible its proper place and function in the edu cational development of the youth of the Nation.

Dufur Heard by Large Audience at Damascus. PROPOSED PLAN INDORSED System or Xon-Interest-Bearing Bonds Issued by States to Gov ernment Suggested as Way or Raising Cheap Money. DAMASCUS. Or.. Sept. 5. (Special.) Damascus Grange. Patrons of Hus bandry, adopted resolutions yesterdav unanimously indorsing rural credits and the system as proposed by W. H H. Dufur. of Portland, in his address on the subject. Mr. Dufur talked to one of the largest gatherings of farm ers ever assembled in this section of the state, and gave a comprehensive outline of rural credits and what nh credits would mean to the farmers of the Nation, by lowering the present exorbitant rate" of interest he must pay on money used for development. Mr. Dufur declared that the farmers of the United States can never hope for that degree of prosperity to which they are entitled while thrv mnt a from 7 to 10 per cent for the use of money, out tnat a rural credit system, that will protect the country and put money into the hands of the farmer at from 3 to 4 per cent, will bring pros perity to the farmers of this Nation and increase the cultivated area of this country to many times what it is at present. Government Aid Proposed. Mr. Dufur's plan, as outlined in his address here today and approved by the State Grange of Oregon, Is a sys tem based on non-interest-beartng bonds issued by the state, to be author ized by a majority 'vote, to the Federal Government for whatever sum may be needed. The Federal Government, ac cording to this plan, is to take these bonds at 2 per cent discount, and issue currency to the State Land Board. This puts the money to be loaned the farmers in the hands of the State Land Board, said Mr. Dufur. He then explained that a farmer to get the benefit of the loan And low rate of interest must show farm prop erty double the amount of the loan applied for. The title to the property then would be passed on bv the attor ney of the Land Board and the loan " ior irom rive to 35 years rate of interest never to exceed 4 cent. years on a per Mr. Dufur expressed the opinion that the rate of interest might be fixed as low as 3 per cent., but that was a matter for future consideration, and pointed out that this system was safe guarded throughout. No state could Issue bonds unless by a majority vote authorizing the amount, and every step would be safeguarded on sound principles, declared Mr. Dufur. Present Lawn Criticised. "This or any other plan for rural credits will not come easy," declared Mr. Dufur. "and it will require the united efforts of all the farmers of this and other states to procure any rural credit system. The many meas ures that have been passed by Con gress are not, in my judgment, intend ed to establish rural credits in this country. They are all cumbersome and unworkable practically, and In tended to defeat the establishment of any rural credit system. It will re quire the co-operation of all the farm ers of this country to procure relief from the high rate of interest the farmers are paying, which of itself is ruinous. "We cannot hope for the develop ment of the uncultivated lands of Oregon as long as the farmer must pay from 7 to 10 per cent interest. So it is up to the Grange and the fa. ..o unite ana aemand relief and mey win get a rural In my judgment this credit system, will helD solve the problem of the 'back to the soil' ston the r-(iiipptHnn sn movement and r oy maxing it possible for a man to develop a farm without being burdened with such high rates of in terest, now charged the farmer." The resolutions indorsed the plan suggested and urged all other Granges in the state to take similar action in visitors were served with din- ner. grange Master Dallas presided.

SCENIC ROAD PUT FIRST EXPERT SAYS COLUMBIA HIGHWAY IS UNEQUALLED. . L., Powers, Secretary of American Association and Masazlne Editor, Comments After Inspection. Following an inspection trip over the Columbia River Highway last week, E. L. Powers, secretary of the American Road Builders' Association and editor of the Good Roads magazine, of New York, was enthusiastic over the scenic possibilities of the new boulevard. "There is nothing anywhere in Amer ica to compare with it," he said. "It is much superior to anything Europe has to offer of a similar nature and sur passes the famous drives of Switzer land." Others who made the trip were George W. Filson. chief engineer of Brooklyn and president of the Pan American Road Congress; W. B. War ren, vice-president of the Warren Bros. Company; Major H. L. Bowlby, ex-Governor West and City Engineer Dater. Mr. Powers is also a member of the executive committee of the Pan-American Road Congress, which will meet in Oakland. Cal., September 13, five days. He said: "The Pan-American Road Congress is the result of the joint action of the American Road Builders' Association and the American Highway Associa tion. Both organizations have large memberships extending over the entire country, and into Canada. "The vast amount of road construc tion now going on in America empha sizes the importance of the Pan-American Road Congress. "About $250,000,000 is being spent in roads in the United States alone this year. Some of the money is well spent; some of it is practically wasted. The highest possible value must be placed on this assemblage of ideas." CAR GOES THROUGH TUNNEL Connection With Slitchell's Point Road Slade During Xight. HOOD RIVER. Or., Sept. 5. (Spe cial.)

HEW DANGERS OF CONSTIPATION A recent issue of the New York Times ays: "Recent researches of Prof. Metchnikoff and others have led doctors to suppose that many conditions of chronic ill health, nervous debility, rheumatism and other disorders are due to poisoning set up by unhealthy conditions in the Large Intes tine, and it has even been suggested that the lowering- of the vitality resulting from such poisoning is favorable to the develop ment of Cancer and Tuberculosis. "At Guys Hospital Sir William Arbuth not Lane decided on the heroic plan of re moving the diseased organ. A child who appeared in the final stage of what was believed to be an incurable form of tuber cular joint disease was operated on. The Lower Intestine, with the exception of nine inches, was removed, and the portion left was joined to the Smaller Intestine. "The result was astonishing. In a week's time the internal organs resumed all their normal functions, and in a few weeks the patient was apparently in perfect health." The Lower Intestine can never get into this condition if Internal Baths are used. The "J. B. L. Cascade" cleanses the Lower Intestine its entire length thoroughly with pure warm water and removes all this poi sonous waste which, is such menace to health. It ia Nature's own enre for Constipation, and is now being: used by over 300.000 Americans with great success. The "J. B. L. Cascade" is now being shown and explained by the Woodard Clark & Co.'s Drug Store in Portland, who are also distributing a most interesting booklet called "Why Man of To-Day Is Only 50 Per Cent.. Efficient." There ia no charge ior this. Ask for it. mmw REFUSES OPERATION Tells How She Was Saved by Taking Lydia E. Pink- bams . Vegetable Compound. Louisville, Ky " I think if more eaf. fering women would take Lydia E. Finkham's Vegeta ble Compound they would enjoy better health. I suffered from a female trou ble, and the doctors decided I had a tumorous srrowth and would have to be operated upon, but I refused as I do not believe in opera tions. I had fainting spells, bloated. and could hardly stand the pain in my left side. My husband insisted that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did. for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take long walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my good health." Mrs. J. M. Resch, 1300 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky.
