THE MOKXIXG OltEGONIAN, MOXDAT, JXTNTE 19, 1916. 11 V V K F DEFEATOF SIN. SEEN Woodlawn Methodist Children Taught Ease of Correction. POISONED WATER PURIFIED Liquid First Is Polluted to Show Susceptibility of Cleanliness to Effects of Unrighteousness by Rev. Louis Thomas. When Rev. Louis Thomas entered the pulpit of Woodlawn Methodist Episco pal Church yesterday to close the Chil dren's day programme by a talk with the boys and girls of his congregation, scores of eyes were rounded in antici pation. Even the elder folk manifested not a little curiosity. For Rev. Mr. ' Mr. Thomas bore a brimming glass of clear water and a mysterious paper parcel. He set the glass down and cautiously unwrapped two small phials, one containing a dark fluid, the other as clear as the water Itself. It was quite evident that matters of entertain ing portent were at hand. Nobody seemed to know Just why Rev. Thomas had chosen to term his talk with the children "The Inside of the Cup." But all viewed the glass and felt, vaguely, that it bore some relation to the riddle. The phials complicated the plot. "And now, children," said the smiling minister, "this glass contains nothing save pure and sparkling Bull Run water." Life at its youthful outset he likened to the crystal glass and its un sullied contents. "With all its purity, if it could only remain so,' he told them, -life would be a delightful ex perience." Few Drops Pollute Water. Gingerly the minister poured a dozen drops of the dark fluid from phial to glass. The thirstlnviting water shud dered to the potion, and became of an unwholesome brownish hue. "What's happened?"- inquired the demonstrator, with a fine semblance of astonishment. "Would you like to drink it now, boys?" . "No," responded a chorus. "No, Indeed," agreed their questioner. Then quietly, "It'spoison now." And so, he bade them observe, does sin enter the purity of childhood, grad ually altering its clarity of Innocence and pure living 'to a spiritual replica of the polluted glass. Lies and evil language, and stories that must be whispered wickedly, he explained, are the drops that enter the lives of chil dren, unless they, and their elders, ward against the sources of contami nation. "Pass the word that people should he a little more particular of what they put into the very fountain of life." he entreated In an aside for the benefit of big brothers and sisters, and fathers and mothers. Vainly he polished the outside of the . glass; in quite as futile fashion did he wrap it to hide the desecrated water. All the little boys and girls voiced their verdict that the Bull Run water had sot been benefited. Liquid Is Again Pure. Very well, then. He took up the sec ond bottle, and the miracle of chemis try was under way. Scarcely hd a few drops fallen before the brown cloud within the glass faltered and faded and passed quite away. Again the water glistened as when it first was freed from the mountain snows. "When a person gets wicked," contin ued Rev. Mr. Thomas, "you must get something inside of him; something that makes you positively good; some thing that makes you do what's right, whether you want to or not." With careless liberality he sprinkled the dark poison again into the glass. Behold, then, the efficacy of the cor rective miracle for, no matter how much he poured, the water remained steadfastly clear. Quite pointedly It declined to be sullied. "Why doesn't it color?" The chil dren knew, all right, but they couldn't phrase a reply. So he said it for them: "Because a positive corrective force Is In that glass!" Demonstration Is Approved. The boys and girls were advised, in a manner that never could provoke a pout, of the necessity for fortifying themselves with the corrective influ ence of religion, that they might re main as unchanged in spirit as the water within the glass. "What the world needs is men and women who are so saturated with posi tive truth and Christianity that they can be trusted outside of their own backyards!" declared the pastor, and retired before a volley of applause. The children held counsel, seatmate with scatmate. agreeing that the object les pon in chemistry had been quite the feature of the programme. The Children's day exercises were conducted by C. W. DeGraff, superin tendent of the Sunday school, and com prised many entertaining numbers. Sandy School Closes. SANDY, Or., June 18. (Special.)

MARCOTTE TO GO Congregation Notified Kansas City Call Is Accepted. 20 YEARS' WORK REVIEWED Resignation to Take Effect Septem ber 3 and Pastor Declares 12 Years in Portland Has Been Happiest "of Sis Life. "Westminster Presbyterian Church will lose Its pastor. Dr. Henry Mar- cotte, September a. He announced that he had accepted the call of the Sec ond- Presbyterian Church of Kansas City, Mo., yesterday morning and asked the congregation to join with him in petitioning Portland Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relations, for which purpose the session of the church has called a congregational meeting Thursday. June 29. The congregation was expectant and somewhat tense yesterday morning when Ir. Marcotte began his sermon on the' subject. "A Call for Service," in which he reviewed his own work for the past 21 years, culminating In the 12 years he has spent as pastor of Westminster. The first sermon he preached in Portland was 20 years ago in the old Third Church on East Ninth and East Oak streets, which was fol lowed by the call to Astoria, where he spent 7 years, during which time a new church was erected. Then came the call to Westminster Church. Work Declared Arduous. "The work here has been very heavy," said Dr. Marcotte, "especially since 1910, when we started the cam paign for the new church, but the years have been happy, the happiest in my life, for the membership has been loyal, sympathetic and helpful, and my relations with the congregation have always been close and tender. 1 should be glad to stay and spend my life here, but the call for service is elsewhere. A year ago I declined a call to an op portune field, for I desired that 1 should be an all-round preacher to young and old, and that field led in another direction." Dr. Marcotte then detailed his expe rience during the last month, which he said had been most remarkable, three calls coming to him, one from La Grange, a residence suburb of Chicago, another from Pottsvllle, Penn., and lastly the call from Kansas City. He said that from the start he bad re fused even to consider the Kansas City call, but the church was insistent and sent a special messenger and many telegrams. After his visit to Kansas City when he looked over the field and conferred with the church officials he had decided that his duty was to accept the call, and he notified the church at Kansas City that he would accept, be cause of the opportunities for service, although the calls to La Grange and Pottsville were both urgent and en ticing. Greater Achievement Predicted. Dr. Marcotte expressed his deep ap preciation of the co-operation of the members of Westminster during the past 12 years, and said that somewhere there was a man who would be selected who would lead the chucb to higher achievements than ever before. He closed by saying that during the time intervening until September 3 the reg ular work of the church would be con tinued, and there would be opportunity to make careful selection of a new pastor. Outside of "Westminster Church Dr. Marcotte has occupied a prominent place in the Portland Presbytery and the Synod of Oregon, and has devoted much time to helping other churches in the state.

Different Views as to Whether or Not American Youth Can Pass Muster. , The announcement that one of the eastern colleges is planning to estab lish a department In which etiquette shall be taught has caused considerable comment among educators, parents and others Interested in the welfare of Yoftng America Portland, clubwomen have taken the subject up Informally and have dis cussed It at Borne of their gatherings within the past few days. Some authorities oontend that the manners of the boys and girls of this country are abominable. Others say they are very good, and improving dally. Should we have a department of etiquette in our schools? Borne say "No." Others. "Yes." The young bud who goes a-vlslting as a member of a house party and who upsets the whole household has come In for a scoring in the general con versation over the innovation. The young man who never shows his hostesses any courtesy was also rapped. Some of those who discussed the sub ject said: "Away with isms and olo- gies and give the children good man ners!" Portland Has Class. The fact of the matter is there is a class at Benson Polytechnic School where "manners" are taught, but it isn't as such. Parlor etiquette, dining room propriety and kitchen conduct are the branches of instruction fol lowed, and at times the girls at Ben son practice the art of curtseying to good advantage, because such training fits in with the larger and more com prehensive idea of a trade school edu cation. ' Mrs. G. J. Frankel. president of the Portland Woman's Club, is of the opin ion that children should be taught good manners. If their parents can't do it, then there should be some pro vision made in the schools, she thinks. it Is deplorable to see the lack of respect among the boys and girls. They are so thoughtless of the feelings of others. They do not respect author ity," declared Mrs. Frankel; "but." she added, "this isn't true of all. I regret to say that some of the worst manners are found among some of the wealthier families. Tiielr finish and polish often rubs off when put to the test." Boys Thought Better. Mrs. A. A. Morrison, wife of an Epis copal rector, mother, and prominent socially has had wide field for obser vation, and she stoutly maintains that there is a swinging back to better behavior. The boys, Mrs. Morrison says, are Improving, are becoming more gallant. "We are apt to criticise the girls, at times," said Mrs. Morrison," but even when they seem a little bad-mannered, or unkind, I am sure they don't mean it, and if given a little hint would do better next time. I want to stand up for the . boys and girls of America. There has been so much more freedom given them these last few years and they have not known Just how to use it. The talk of suffrage, the feminist movement and other topics that are freely discussed have in a measure had some effect upon the young girls. But I think everything will be all right without a school of etiquette. Let the mothers set a good example of fine manners; let the teachers encourage gentlemanly and ladylike behavior; let us expect good results, use tact and we will get them." Teacher Champions Children. Miss Abbie Wright, who has had a number of years' experience as a school teacher, declares school children on an-i average are well behaved. It is the easiest thing in the world to give the children a start and keep them going if you only have patience, she says. "In my classes, even when a boy is kept after school as a punishment; he savs politely and courteously, "Good night, Miss Wright." " About once a month Miss Wright reads extracts from a little book, "The School and Home," by Edith Wiggins. Then she gives them little suggestions The Growing Tendency of the Age A noted English scientist asserts the tendency is toward "neurasthenia, 'nerves,' etc." A -remarkable statement. No less remarkable is the cause which, he adds, "is not unlikely due to removing from our diet those elements of cereal food which Nature has hid in the husk of the grain, and which man in his ignorance discards." The elements to which he refers are the well-known mineral salts of phos phorus, lime, iron, etc, removed in milling flour to make it white, but which physicians know are indispensable to normal, well-balanced nerves, bodies and brains. - a wonderfully delicious food made from whole wheat and malted barley, retains the nutriment of the grains, including their Vital Mineral Elements Grape-Nuts food is easy to digest, highly nourishing, and comes ready to eat from the sealed package, which preserves its oven-crispness and de lightful flavor. A ration of this splendid food along with the ordinary dietary has put joy in life for thousands. U about keeping their finger nail clean and being considerate of other people and she tells short stories that are vehicles for some lesson In behavior. It Isn't in the prescribed course of study, but it is a fine feature. Miss Wright declares. She makes it all like a story hour and the children take to it. Parents Are Blamed. Mrs. Isaac Swett, president of the Council of Jewish Women, thinka a teacher can work wonders, but the parents should do their share. ' "It Is not necessary to have a special depart ment, but if the teacher is tactful and can see life from the child's viewpoint she will help him wonderfully." That the behavior of children In pub lic places is far from what it should be is the opinion of Mrs. C. E. Runyon, a prominent club and society woman. She says the way in which so many mothers sit complacently In a car while their children are wiping their feet all over the clean clothes of those around them is abhorrent. "I love children and think they have rights, but they should not be brought up with the Idea that their rights Include the dis comfort of all around them. . A well behaved child is a perfect Joy. Why not tell the mothers to realize that?" Bibles Lure Young Sunday School Teacher to Theft. Girl Proas Crantry CuMt With stand Tempting- Display la partment Store. JUST fancy the most fantastio theft, will you? . Let's presume, for ex ample, that a young woman Sunday school t-iacher suddenly yields to klep tomania and steals a Bible. Well, then The girl was manifestly delighted with the novelty of her visit to the big Portland department store. There were so many, many things that one desired. She bad given her friends the slip an hour before, that she might know the thrill of adventuring alone. This store was quite different from those at home, where the groceries Jostled the dry goods and notions. Its wares were infinitely more to be de sired. The girl from the country town passed many cases and counters, each with its tempting display. If only she could take something home with her. There, for instance, were a number of handsomely bound Bibles. At home she taught a Sunday school class, very conscious of her seniority and responsi bility, though she was but 17. Those Bibles now A sudden wave of desire swept the girl and she took that which she had not the money to purchase. The theft is unparalleled in the annuals of that department store, for the goods the girl chose were, not silks, or orna ments, or toilet articles but Bibles. Then a house detective was by her side. The girl was told that she was under arrest. ' The case was to have been taken before the Juvenile Court, but Its singular nature caused the com plaint to be withdrawn before Judge Cleeton had acted upon It. Meantime the girl was taken to the Frazer De tention Home, and a telegram dis patched to her mother. It was Friday when the girl from the country town ended her adventure in the detention home, where Superin tendent S. D. White questioned her with kindness. He was convinced that tt was not only her first offense, but that she had suffered from an attack of kleptomania and purloined the books, as the dearest treasure to be found in that department store. On Saturday her mother arrived and she was released. They went home yester day, the mother and the girl, and a certain Sunday school class in the country town is never to know . how their teacher was tempted Just as Me Bible stories relate. Sermon Thoughts "The Mystery of Godliness" was the topic of Rev. Alexander Beers, pastor of the First Metnoaisi jnurcn. yester day morning. "The world is full of mystery," said the pastor. "Inasmuch as mystery is found in every field of science, it is not to be wondered at that it is found in religion. The mystery of religion Is a true romance of the Christian life. "The last word has not been spoken on theology. We must not stop thinking where the old creed writers stopped." SCHOOL ELECTION IS TODAY Milwaukle to Name Director and Clerk of Board. MILWATTKIE.
