TITE MORNiyO OREGOXTAX. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1915. DHL W. BL HINSON 10 CLOSING PASTOR OF WHITE TEMPLE WHO ANNOUNCED RESIGNATION YESTERDAY TO TAKE UP HOME MISSION ARY EVANGELISTIC WORK. QUIT-WHITE TEMPLE FIGHT COMES 14 SUNDAY Baptist Pastor Accepts New os1tion as District Evan gelist of Church. CHANGE EFFECTIVE JAN. 1 Successes in Many Cities Union Revivals in of N'orthwest Have Created Demand for His Super vision of Division AVork. At the close of the services at the White Temple Baptist Church yester day morning Rev. Walter B. Hinson, who has been pastor of that church for the last Ave and a half years, an nounced to his congregation his resig nation to take effect January 1, 1916. Dr. Hinson plans to accept the posi tion of division evangelist of the Bap tist Home Missionary Society, which was offered to him about 10 days ago. The new position will place htm In charge of the evangelistic work of the church in the western and northern parts of the United States. The resignation of Dr. Hinson prob ably will be taken up for considera tion at the regular meeting of the board of deacons tonight at the T. M. C. A..: Later it will probably be considered by the prudential board before being finally submitted to the membership. Members, of the board were unable to say last night what recommendation. If any, would be made relative to the resignation. Church Regrets Departure. One member said that, while all would regret to see Dr. Hinson leave, there was a feeling that if his new position would give him opportunity to do more good and be a greater fac tor in the advancement of the church, no barrier should be placed in his way. Dr. Hinson came to the pastorate of the AVhite Temple from San Diego five and a half years ago. He succeeded at that time Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher, who has accepted a call to the pastor ate of the Temple Baptist Church in Ios Angeles. Dr. Hinson's work here has been re markable because of the evangelistic success . with which it has been at tended. Since his coming here approx imately 1500 have joined his church and his pastorate has been considered one of the strongest in the city. Hardly a Sunday has passed under his leadership that new members have not been added to his congregation. Evansellstlc Work Rotable. He has also been In great demand for addresses and to participate in gather ings of his own church and other Christian denominations not only In Oregon, but also In the Northwest. Dr. Hinson, since coming here, has been looked upon as one of the best theologians in the city. The new charge offered Dr. Hinson was created at the last session of the Northern Baptist convention, the Na tional governing body of that organi zation. If he accepts the position it will place him in charge of the evan gelistic work carried on by the Baptist church in the states of Oregon, Wash ington, California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, North Da kato. South Dakota, Nebraska and Ar kansas. His work will be not only to hold evangelistic services in these states, but also to instruct and direct other evangelists of the church in that ter ritory. Step Is Not Expected. It was a tense and rather dramatic moment when Dr. Hinson handed in his resignation, following the sacrament of the l.ord's Supper. It was known that he was considering the acceptance of the evangelistic position offered hiin. announcement having been made of the offer in The Oregonian Saturday, and when he began reading an introductory to his resignation practically all the members of the congregation knew of the announcement that was coming. Members of the board of deacons said last night that no thought had been given to a successor for Dr. Hin son. They said that the matter had come up so suddenly that as yet there had been no opportunity to consider such a thing. Dr. Hinson goes to Corvallis Tues day to take charge of union evangelis tic services to be held at the Presbyte rian Church there. Rev. C. A. Brooks, of New York City, will supply the AVhite Temple pulpit next Sunday in his absence. STOCKMEN COMETO CITY FARMERS OF ESTACADA DISTRICT TO INSPECT LOCAL. YARDS.

Scream In Hotel Sends Housekeeper Scurrying to Give Assistance, bnt Expression Is Only of Joy. M1 IiS. VEGA HUGHES reluctantly answered the telephone yesterday morning at her apartments in the Karl Hotel on Broadway. "Tell them I'm too sleepy to see them another time perhaps," she in structed the clerk, who in turn in formed Miss Sylvia 'NVorley, a girl of 16 years, that Mrs. Hughes couldn't see her. "Oh, can't she? Tell her she must but don't tell her who I am," undaunt edly retorted Miss Worley, who was not to be bested in a quest that really dated back ever so many years. In due time Mrs. Hughes consented to have the visitor and instructed the clerk to send her up. A few seconds later the hotel house keeper went scurrying along the fourth floor. She had heard a scream. But It was a scream of delight and not of dismay. , Mrs. Hughes had come face to face with her baby daughter, whom she had been separated from since the latter was 18 months old and whom she had only seen for fleeting glimpses on two occasions since the last time in 1907. Miss Worley came to Portland yes terday from Seattle. She accompanied her friend, Reine Davies. who is at the Orpheum this week. Miss WVorley's father is J. "W. Worley, one of the best known property men in the Northwest, at present with the Seattle Orpheum. He and Mrs. Hughes were separated when their daughter was 18 months old and since then the daughter has been with her father. Miss Worley came to Portland with Miss Davies yesterday for the express purpose of seeing her mother. She re fused to talk of the meeting yesterday. NEW CHURCH IS PLANNED First Christian Appoints Committee to Decide Matter. The First Christian Church plans to put up a new building somewhere on the West Side, and with that in view a committee to take up plans for the work was appointed yesterday. This committee will meet early in the week. While plans for the structure are still somewhat vague, it is understood that a building large enough to seat between 1200 and 1500 people, to cost anywhere from $50,000 to ?150.000, is being considered. The pastor. Rev. George Darsie, said last night that the matter is for the committee to decide. The committee is composed of A. H. Averill. H. M. Haller. R. E. Bristow, R. B. McClung. M. B. Meacham. W. F. Powell. Miss Harriett Morehouse, Mrs. F. A. Douty, B. C. Darnell and Carl Brown. - Victoria's yield of wheat for the next harvest is estimated to exceed the record ty ti.uw.wo pusneis. Rev. Mr. Tufts Attacks Judge Gantenbein's Decision of Unconstitutionality. REVERSAL .IS EXPECTED Campaign for New Statute Planned by Weekly Kest-Day League in Event State Supreme Court Up holds Portland Jurist. Should the Supreme Court allow the Oregon Sunday closing law to rest in the desuetude which has claimed it for, lo, these many yearsj and to which it was sent, temporarily to abide again by Circuit Judge Gantenbein Saturday the end is not yet. Furthermore residents of Alaska may be sitting on the seat of uncertainty If the Oregon law is cast Into the scrap heap. The well-known Sunday closing law of Alaska Territory is the identi cal law previously enacted in Oregon, according to its defenders, and it was handed to Alaska by the United States Congress a few years ago. Where are better constitutional lawyers than in Congress? Interests working for a Sunday blue law enforcement yesterday said that. viewed from any angle. It Is an open-and-shut proposition if the highest court upholds Judge Gantenbein, then the way is opened for having a newer and better law enacted, and if Judge Gantenbein is reversed, the law stands. Rev. Mr. Tufts Takes Issue. Rev. G. I. Tufts, superintendent for the Weekly Rest Day League of Ore gon, speaking for those interests, took open issue with Judge Gantenbein in two addresses yesterday, one at the Mount Tabor Methodist Church in the morning, and at a mass meeting of five churches in the St. Johns district last night. Mr. Tufts denied the law was aged and declared that Judge Ganten bein's decision probably would not hold water before the Supreme Court, citing cases in other states. In case it did. however, Mr. Tufts made it clear steps would be taken at once to obtain a properly-worded and - eminently cor rect law, constitutionally speaking. Mr. Tufts is the author, of the Idaho Sunday closing law, which, coinci dentally, was commended by Judge Gantenbein. In the reference Judge Gantenbein made to the Idaho law Mr. Tufts found relish yesterday, inci dentally adding that, generally npeak- ng. the Oregon law is as correctly worded as the Idaho statute. LanKnace Is Contested. 'Judge Gantenbein. for the second time, has declared the Sunday rest law of Oregon to be unconstitutional." said Mr. Tufts last night at St. Johns. "He based his opinion upon a marginal note of the old Deady Code that this statute was against the profanation of Sun day." But the language was not used by the Legislature and is not an in tegral part of the act. Even if it were, the title of the act would not invalidate it, according to the highest courts of the lanot. Another sandy foundation upon which the opinion was ba.sed was the wording of the act. namely, 'the first day of the week, commonly called the Lord's" day, or Sunday." The learned judge contended that the expression. Lord s day," rendered it religious legis lation and hence unconstitutional. But the Sunday laws of a dozen other states contain the same expression, and yet they have been held constitutional, even when this very point was under consideration. California Case Cited. "We would refer the learned iudge to the: case of. ex parte Newman, In 9 California, the dissenting opinion of Judge Fields, and the unanimous de cision of ex parte Andrews in 18 Cali fornia. This dissenting opinion of Jus tice Fields was aflirmed in the Andrews case, and has ever since 1861 been the law of California. It was also adopted and affirmed by the entire bench of the Federal Court of the United States. clo Jiot hesitate to predict that Judge Gantenbein's decision will be reversed by the Supreme Court of the state. "The Congress of the United States contains some of the best constitutional lawyers in the Unioif. Yet the identi cal law which the judge of our Circuit Court held unconstitutional here. Con fess enacted in 1800 for the Territorv of Alaska. 'This 'unconstitutional.' 'mush-.' stale." 'blue law" is today the law of Alaska. Is not this slapping Congress In the face? We would remind those who are Ignorant of the fact that tha law under which Mr. Kellaher was con victed was enacted in 1903 and not In 1854. It's hoary head is but 12 vears of age quite a kid yet."
