Dr. Brougher Advises Church Members to Take Lessons From Ballplayers. MINISTER SCOLDS HEARERS!

Make the best of life: set a 1 smile on your face; the wrinkles I will go a different way. a There are a lot of church members complaining- aooui church laws. Personally I don't believe in a church having rules and regulations other than the Bible. We have just about as much j authority in the home as we used to. only now the children exer- 7 T cise It. I'd rather go to & ball game than to many of the church serv ices I've seen. Get a lesson from the baseball players. They stick together and play thir best so the team may win. Be that way for your church. A lot of you old rascals should get to work and exercise your privileges as Christians. Ion't be co mean and narrow. Don't fly off the handle. Life's too short to pet mad. The difference between a home or a church ruled by love or duty Is the difference between heaven and helL There are lots of soft soap marriages. To unite oil and water it needs some lye. Deception makes unhappy mar riages; It takes a wise man to know where humbug ends and the woman begins. Meet the marriage problems with charity; solve them; don't run awty from them. He said he was glad to be with them once more and then, within a few minutes be was striking a character Istle attitude, and with all his old-time force was telling them that they were mean, that they hadn t lived up to their covenant with the church: that some of them were "old rascals" and was paying ever so many other un complimentary things and they liked It. They applauded him; they wept and laughed with him. It was Dr. J. Whitoomb Brougher rome back, to his old church. It was that same pastor and friend who six years ago had left them to go to the Temple Baptist Church of Los Angeles. He preached esterday morning and night in the White Temple to capacity crowds. The auditorium seats 2300 and in addition the various classrooms were filled. Scores stood throughout the services, others sat on the stepa. Dr. Brougher took them all by storm. He pleaded with them to live their pro fessed Christianity. He reproved them for not being more faithful, more gen erous, Ge One Better In Advice. "There are a lot of you who never think of practicing what you have pro fessed." said Dr. Brougher at the 11 o'clock service. The subject was "Going Him One Beater." "If you are In the church and they won't ask you to bo on the pulpit com mittee, or chairman of some society. you get mad and won't play and you are a grouch. Is that Christlike? "Get a lesson from the baseball team. They all co-operate to make thpir team the strongest In the league. Tell me. friends, how many of you are willing to sacrifice your personal am bitions to make your church a better, Htronger church? I often take my choir to the baseball game. I'd rather no to a ball game than to many church services I've seen. 1 get lots of les sons from the ball players." For the home Dr. Brougher had many suggestions. He advocated the reign of love rather than duty. "Men. seid your wives home a bouquet once In a while," he advised, "but hurry home so they won't think it is a funeral. Don't go round growling that you have to do this and that to live up to your marriage vows. "You can't be as mean as you were, as selfls-o. as unlovely, as cruel, if you only live the Christianity that you have professed." Marriage Kiddle DUmwueil. "The Marriage Riddle and How to Solve It." was discussed in the evening. "You cannot unite people diametric-; ally opposed and make a successful marriage. You cannot blend oil and, water without putting in lye and then I they become st"t soap. There are lots of soft-soap marriages. "Deception In its manifold forms is at the basis of most matrimonial blun ders. A young woman should know a oung man many years before marry ing him. She ought to look up his per sonal and family records. The young man should know the young woman thoroughly and not bo deceived by ap pearances." Dr. Brougher contended that the mil liners accomplishments, the heir dressers art and the dressmakers' achievements had fixed it up so that a man "can't tell where the humbug ends and the woman begins." "A young man wants a young woman as a helpmeet, not to help eat meat." The Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde natures in every life; the sweetness and the bit terness, the weakness a,nd the strength and the defeat and victory that come to all were named by Dr. Brougher as the causes for differences. "What do we do with a building that has a weak spot?" he asked. "We strengthen it. What do we do for our brother's weakness? We exploit it. "Let's be as sensible as the builder. - ?'( V 1 H!

Reveals That Thousands Will Participate in Convention; Missionaries ' Speak of Urgent Needs. Pledges of 2700 delegates to the Lay men's Missionary Convention, February 13-16. were made at the gathering- of several hundred laymen and ministers of the Portland churches yesterday at the Young Men's Christian Association. Addresses were made by some of the leaders -of the movement and reports received from representatives of dif ferent denominations of the city, all in dicating that the attendance at the I coming gathering would mount into the thousands. E. A. Baker, reporting for the Metho dist Episcopal churches of the city, pre dieted that they would have 1000 dele gates to the meetings and Elton Shaw said that the Presbyterians expected to have a like number. W. R. Utzemberg reported that the Baptists of the city had already 700 members signed up who had promised to be in attendance. Reports were made for other denom inations as follows: Congregational, A. H. Harding; Christian. G. Evert Baker, and United Brethren, J. D. Nise-wonder. E. L. Thompson., chairman of the day, told of the significance of the move ment. "Never In the history of the world," he declared, "has Christianity had as great an opportunity as exists today.1 J. X. Browne, a returned missionary from Turkey, told of the great opportu nity in the mission field and also touched on the limited means available for carrying forward such work. Jqhn A. Goodell outlined briefly the programme which is to be given at the coming gathering, telling of the speakers who are coming. Other sneakers were Dr. A. -Petty, representing the Baptist Foreign Mis sionary Society, and Dr. George B. Pratt. It was announced that I. B. Rhodes, state Y. M. C.

The show windows of many of the eading business houses of the city bear posters of a great statne of Buddha, the giant idol to whom the millions of India, Japan and some other cannot but believe that a- certain amount of personal feeling, sufficient to result in the condemnation of my picture, entered into the deliberations of the board,.' said Mr. James last night. "Back of the fact that the condem nation of the picture means a financial loss to me lie several other facts which vitally affect principle. , "In the first place the Portland cen sors condemned a picture which passed the National Board of Censorship and every other local board in the Union; then the censors give me no final no tice of the condemnation until too late Saturday night for me to change my advertising, which surely shows little regard for me or my thousands of pat rons. "Add to this the personal feeling so clearly expressedyby the members of the board: 'that after this I could ex pect no favors from them after much criticism'; and Mayor Albee's re cent declaration that from now on he felt it time to 'go after' motion picture exhibitors; and I think there are grave grounds upon which to base a charge of bias and insincerity. "Saturday morning my picture was viewed. Saturday afternoon the cen sors, or five of them four women, headed bv Mrs. Newell, the chairman and Mrs. Colwell, the secretary, and one man witnessed the film. They condemned it, first for what the women termed the disgusting vulgarity of th eating of a peasant, and later for on or two passages which were called sug gestive. I suggested to Mrs. Newe that there were several eliminations thought advisable to make and aske her to permit this to be done and then call another meeting. She promised or said in effect, '1 11 see what I can do about ot.' Then, when I felt confi dent of another board meeting over it. I was called to the telephone after 8 o'clock and informed that no further action would be taken. "With a few eliminations 'The Ser pent' would be a film to which even the most sensitive could not abject. "Just such actions as this make imperative that motion-picture exhib itors have the 'protection of a censor ship appeal board. it ST. PETER'S TRAIL IS PLAN C. A.

Prank Dckutn, Portlander, Who Has Part in "The Girl," Is Ild Up With Sprained Ankle; Other Novelties at Orpheum. BY LEOXE CASS BAER. A combination of rare skill and grace Is the dancing of Bessie Clayton, the "darling of terpsichore." who tops the new bill at the Orpheum with her .own private little orchestra and dancine partner. Lester Sheehan. a brunette Vernbn Castle. . . Bessie Clayton is a toe dancer who has brains in her feet as well as in her head. They do the original and unusual in steps, and get entirely away from the dancing rut in which all toe dan cers flounder. We are not treated to "correct imitations'" of Pavlowa doing her wonderful swan song or Adeline Genee's best ballet pirouettes. Bessie riavion in a flesh-and-blood girl with smiles and flashing eyes and she dances ragtime on lier twinkly toes. In smart est attire she flashes about the stage liko nm lovelv fairy or a bit of thistle down blown softly about. A Gavotte of 1R.-.0. a. stately, delicate fantasy of dance, modern day steps and the Clay ton's daring idea of the dances of to morrow are given with lavish band er no foot. Not the least of the act is the Clayton spiict six lively chaps, who rag with ihelr shoulders, eyes and feet, while their hands are busy on violins, banjo, niano.- trans and saxaphone.

Wizards of muscular enterprise are Mang and Snyder, who present a demonstration in athletics that sets pulses bounding and applause reverberating. FAIR PHYSICIAN IS BRIDE DK. MARIO' OBER, OF EUGENE, IS WKD TO 31. LOCKE. In the many Sunday schools of Port land yesterday the superintendents en deavored to explain the meaning1 of these posters to the children. Both roreigrn and home missions are depicted by the symbol. Kneeling in prayer before the idol, Buddha, are i group of worshippers. In the fore ground of the picture stands a man, representative of the common people, typifying- home mission work. The massive bronze Buddha at Kamakura, Japan, is the one shown in the pic ture. This great statue of Buddha was chosen by the several secretaries of the -Laymen's Missionary Movement, who are directing this campaign, to typify the religions of the non-Chris tian world. The posters are in dark green, rep resenting as nearly as may be the color of old bronze. The head and shoulders show above a forest outlined against a twilight sky. The man In the foreground, typifying- home missions, seems to be stand ing in the streets of an American city. Perhaps he is some foreign-born man, newly arrived, unacquainted with the ways of the new land to which he has come, or, perchance, American born, possibly a laborer or mechanic. The slums, a factory, a tenement, are shown. Amid them lie the unsolved problems of life. A. M. Grilley Suffers From Exposure While Aa-ttistins Those Who Were Lags! off Behind Hikers.
