RETURN TO TEXAS DELAYED Newly-Found but Kind Friends I Render Loving Service, so Roses Are Won Back Into Woman's Checks and Smile Returns. lira. Charles W. Morrison, little year-old bride from a Texas ranch, whoii honeymoon was interrupted by the arrest of her erring husband, did not leave Portland Friday as she ex pected. instead. Having completed arrange ments for her husband's release and obtained bis promise that he would make a man of himself and sometime come for her, she broke down under the strain of the terrific ordeal and collapsed. ""I couldn't be 111.- she had declared the day she effected uic bappy solu tion and arranged for her husband's release on the Portland charges. "Who would look out for him if I were?" That night Mrs. Harriet K. Moltaner. mother cf the proprietor of the Karl Hotel, where her husband had ob tained a bridal suite, heard a thud in Mrs. Morrison's room, and found the girl prostrate on the floor. She called a doctor. ' It so happened that she called young: woman physician, and with her came more than mcdioinc. There came a girl companion. Mrs. Jkloltzner saw the girl's need of mends and had moved her to the room adjoining her own. The breakdown occurred Friday night. All Saturday they nursed her and were companions to her. They were real people, not Police Court offi cials, not lawyers, not newspaper re porters, but friends, and yesterday she was sole to be up and around. Tester- day she was able to get her mind off her experiences of the past week, and jesteroay sne was able to smile again and plan for her return South. Possi bly she will go today, poxnibly she will go tomorrow, but she will go with the anticipation of a quiet life on her uncle's Texas ranch, patiently waiting until manes Morrison, wayward hus- mho, makes good; until he makes man out of himself and comes for her.

ETERNAL PURPOSE MOVES Nation Will Enter Activity for Dom - I nance of English-Speaking Race, as Destined, Says ' Portland Minister. If a Divine purpose directs the actions of men and nations the Amer ican nation was created by God to direct the recrystallixation of the world after the European war, and the United States is about to enter Into the Divine activity for which it was created. This was the substance of a sermon delivered yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian church by Rev. John H. Boyd, pastor. He urged an appre ciation by America of the significance of its position and summarised the uniqueness of this country's existence. The entire world, he maintained, with the exception, perhaps, of the United States, is in a state of seething fer mentation and the European war is but one outbreak. The fermentation, he said, Is taking place in China, where he says Christianity is behind the pree- an, ravAlntlnn in India. frAITI Where. he says, the daily papers are expected work out his own salvation with the . h.iff nan. ne nartii. f tools and Instruments God has given UUIUDUMIIIir w w fold to walk wisely, to talk wisely, to act wisely. "Talk wisely. "We are inclined to be tongue-tied concerning goodness, while we can glibly discourse on busi ness, politics, music, art or the weather or discuss our neignsors" tailings oy the hour." ... "Is America, being paganized?" This question formed the subject of the sermon yesterday morning by the Rev. L. K. Richardson of nenllwortn Presbyterian Church. The pagan forces at work, which he said are threatening to overthrow the best life In the nation, include the decay of the rural church; the de cay of the American sabbath; the God' lessness of the schools; the decay of great conviction; Indecent advertising and the breaking of home me. Bringing the people back to God was the. task pointed out by the pastor as the duty or the churcn. "There is no greater study for human beings who have failed than the stuoy of the nsychology of self. Asxing, seeking, and knocking are the external steps. Faith, intuition and Initiative are the internal qualities or conditions necessary for success. This was the statement of Dr. Perry Joseph Green, minister of the New Thought Temple of Truth, who lec tured Sunday night on "Three Steps to Success," as indicated by the words of the great master when he said ask, seek, knock." Dr. Green said: "God has given man the faculties of reason, judgment and intuition as guides in lire. When a man or woman fails to make use of these inherent faculties and external opportunities, he becomes a failure in proportion to his non-use of his facul ties and opportunities. "To earn one's own living and not be dependent upon others for food and raiment is an important part of work ing out your own salvation, and he who does not do this Is not saved in tha very large sense of the word, to Photo The Ore jonlan Btiff Photographer.

Purpose is the primal principle of all true living. Purpose differentiates our lives from those of tha lower animals. Professed Christianity is more than passive submission to the ordinances of the church. An eagerness to glorify God is our chief purpose in life. Education is valueless without purpose. Money as an objective has no value. A dollar is worth 100 cents only when it is used. Man asserts his mastery in bis ability to rise above circumstances. "Why art thou here?"

"The lower animals follow the instinct of nature in their manner of living, but man has volition, freedom of choice and liberty of personality, and he is thus equipped to rise above his circumstances and fulfill the pur pose for which he was created. "Our lives are not of our own plac lng. We cannot question our heritage nor can we, nor should we, rebuke God for our ancestry. We are here and It Is for us to make tha most of our lives. Purpose gives us that op portunity and the purpose that we have is the primal prinoipal of all true being. Purpose gives value to our relationship to human life. Without it we are little better than animals. "Education Is of no value unless it has purpose. The man who holds college degree and shuts himself in his own library, spends no time in quickening the mentality of the com' munity in which he lives does not as much good as the poorly educated man who is alive to the opportunities that education offers, and stimulates an in terest in those things of which he has been deprived. "Money is valueless unless in circu lation. A dollar is not worth anything unless it is used. Money itself as an objective is valueless. But when a dol lar la put in circulation it immediately becomes worth its full value and ful fills the mission for which it was coined. s "Man should see that his purpose In life is the spreading of the Christian doctrine and that he should not con sider that the church is a burden and that the performance of Christian acts is a duty. He should not be a hlnderer but a willing helper. Jesus Christ was a man of men because He realized fully His purpose and put that purpose into the fullest use. We should see as He did that we are designed as objects of good service." Rev. Mr. Anderson left the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church at Bay City, Mich- and a salary almost three times that what he will receive at the At kinson Memorial Church. His congre gation at Bay City numbered 780. He has come to Portland to regain his health and yesterday he declared that he had wanted to come to this city to live for some time.

Dr Boyd compared the position of America to that of Esther, the Biblical character, when she was in a position to save her race. He traced the will of Cecil B. Rhodes, in which this English African financier had directed his money placed in the channels of schol arships for the Engllsh-epeaking races, in the belief that this race has been In tended by God to become the dominant race of the world. 'We believe that the Eternal has a purpose," stated Dr. uoyd. "All tnmgs and actions or men are connueni. in accomplishing the Supreme end. There seems to be an effort on the part of the Eternal to make the English-speaking people dominant, and it seems that the Almighty has been working to make the United States the dominant force in the world. Position Is Stateglc. "Our country is strategically placed midway between the Occident and the Orient, facing the old and the new in two directions, a marvel of resources unequaled in any part of the globe. We are the product of the world's experi ments in government. "We captured a virgin nation, de veloped a force of doing things that has just seen the completion of a canal that will effect the development of the world. "But there is an achievement far greater. We have maintained a boun dary line of 1000 miles of lakes, 1000 miles of - prairie and 1000 miles of mountains for 100 years without arma ment, not a soldier, jiot a fort. "If we believe in God, if there be a purpose, if there be a mind behind all this, then we must realize that the Divine forces have been working out something, and something unique." Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. XTO external test can be applied XN by which man. is classlUed; God alone can draw the line," said the Rev. U. 8. McCullagh, pastor of Spokane-Avenue Presbytedian Church, in his sermon yesterday morning. His topio was "The Man on the Outside." Rev. Mr. McCullagh said: "Religion is the soul's relation to God. Prayer is the heart bond. Prayer will kill the wrong or sin will kill the prayer. "The man on the outside. What of him. - Why, that he is on the outside. He feels no need of God and therefore prays not. He owns not sin and there fore craves no pardon or need of a savior. To this man the man on the inside owes an obligation.

Shall we, therefore, disregard Him and again wilffully transgress his law, because we are under grace? God firbid.1 This was the sentiment of the Rev. E. W. Catlin. expressed last night In his address In Knights of Pythias Hall. "Under the Law or Under Grace" was the topic The speaker said in part: "When Christ came to this world, he 'mag nified' the law. By placing anything under the microscope we magnify it, so that we can see it more clearly, but we add nothing to it nor do we alter or destroy it by magnifying it. Neither did Christ add to or alter or destroy that which He came to magnify. "But some say that we are "Under Grace.' Quite so. Supposing I broke some local law, a fine was Imposed but remitted by the judge and I was set at liberty. Henceforth 'I would be under grace, excused, no longer under the condemnation of the law. but would that give me the liberty to disobey the law again?" Rev. Clarence True Wilson, secre tary of the .Methodist National Tem perance Society and former pastor of Centenary Church, made on earnest plea yesterday morning at this church for a return to the old-time holy ghost religion. He said that many protest against amusement, including the theater and dancing, but there was a natural crav ing for excitement in the human soul and these things, harmless in them selves, were but misdirected excite ment, and this craving in human na ture must be met with a substitute, which the old-time religion with its emotional 'excitement furnishes. Rev. Mr. Wilson said "the religion of the holy spirit is a better and more lasting, diversion and meets the long ings of the human soul as nothing else can. Some people rail against the emo tional in religion, and yet this is but the expression of enthusiasm the same as that of the man who becomes ex cited over politics. We need an en thusiastic religion. I am convinced we shall never have a sweeping revival until the church becomes enthusiastic and filled with the holy spirit."

America's Greatness Declared to Be De pendent ea Homes Rather Than Army and Navy. A revival of the custom .of publish ing and announcing the bans of mar riage v?as advocated by Rev. Thomas Jenkins, of St. David's Episcopal Church, as a solution to the problems of the decline in home life and the growth of the divorce evil. "Nothing is more of a menace to so ciety than the light way in which marriage is regarded," said the rector. "Marriage is the basic principle of so ciety. It is the natural duty of every man and woman unless they can give a good reason why they should not marry. Christianity did not originate marriage. It sanctified it. Our young people should be taught the sacredness of the tie and they should not be en couraged to enter into it lightly. If parents see to it that their boys and girls meet the right kind of people; that they have the right social en vironment; that they are given every chance to select appropriate help mates; if they teach them that mar riage is sacred and that they should choose for a lifetime, they will be do. ing their sons and daughters and the country a right service. "Christians hold the solution of the problem in their own hands. The pastor advised not only the pub. lishlng of the intention of marriage, but more ceremonies solemnized in the church, less frivolity and buffonery at' tending immediately after the cere mony; more Sunday marriages; the abolition of secret marriages and greater respect for religion in the homes. "America's greatness rests not in Its battleships and standing1 armies, so much as in the character of its homes, concluded Mr. Jenkins. day from an attack of pneumonia, was held yesterday at 2:30 P.

He said: "For the past two years I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble, which took the form of indigestion. Since my service in the navy it has grown steadily worse until lately I could scarcely retain food of any kind in my stomach, as it would ferment and form gas, and I was In a generally run down and miserable condition. A frlnnd recommended Plant Juice, saying that it had cured him of a bad case of stomach trouble. I am now on my second bottle and can eat any kind of food, for the stomach trouble has en tirely disappeared and I am In first class condition, thanks to Plant Juice."
