PASTOR ENDS TERM
Dr. Marcotte Preaches Fare
well Sermons.
iO FORWARD IS COMMAND
Thanks Given Westminster Congre
gation for Support and Loyalty
to Successor Is Urged Prog
ress of Period Is Cited.
Rev. Henry Marcotte delivered his
farewell messages yesterday as pastor
of Westminster Presbyterian Church to
large congregations and to the Current
Events Club, closing bis work of 12
years as pastor.
At the morning services a number
were received into the church member
ship, which Dr. Marcotte signaled
happy closing of his pastorate. The
subject of his morning sermon was.
'Speak Unto the Children of Israel That
They Go Forward," which was a mes
sage of cheer and hope to the congre
gatlon. He pointed out that the chil
dren of Israel went forward, forgetting
the hardships of the past and undis
mayed by difficulties confronting them.
Let me urge that you forget the
difficulties of the past, and they have
been many, and turn to the future, the
greater future, with its possibilities and
expanding opportunities for service.
Twelve years ago It was seen we must
have adequate facilities In Irvington.
Discouragement Is Recalled.
"If you will read over the records
of the church for 1893 -you will find a
motion that we nail up the doors and
windows and go out of business, but
one brother, now passed away, said:
Never! No! No! and we did not give
up, with the result that we have this
splendid church plant. Three times we
nlarged the old church, and still the
demand was for more space, and finally
this block was secured, but you will re
member that at first we thought a
quarter block was sufficient. Plans
grew and grew, until here stands one
of the great churches of Portland.
So, today, you are to forget the hard-
hips of the past, remembering only
the triumphs and go forward. A church
that cares for the children will go for
ward. You have the biggest Sunday
school In the city, but you need a new
building to take care of that Sunday
school.
"There is a great future for West
minster Church. Tou will soon have a
new leader, and I urge you to be as
loyal to him as you have been to me.
If you are not I should consider that
have failed here.
Faith In God Urged.
"In closing let me emphasize the
Importance of faith in God. Wealth,
ocial position and birth are Important,
but not as Important a our attitude
toward God. So, let me urge you to
go forward to higher and better things
under the new leader which you will
soon select."
Dr. Marcotte addressed the Men's
Current Events Class briefly and
declared that the . class was one of
the potential forces of Westminster
Church. He also delivered a farewell
talk to the Sunday school. Last night
Dr. Marcotte gave the congregation a
heart-to-heart talk on the subject
Finally."
Tuesday Dr. Marcotte and his family
will leave for Kansas City. Mo., where
he enters on his work as pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, and where
new church edifice is being complet
ed. He leaves a wide circle of friends
in Portland and Oregon.
A meeting of the church and congre
gation has been called for Tuesday
lght at 8 o clock to hear the report of
the committee on new pastor and to
issue a call. If the way be clear.
Sermon Thoughts
( ( A PPLT the Golden Rule and labor
Xx. problems will disappear," was
the advice of Rev. L. K. Richardson at
Kenilworth Presbyterian Church-, In his
sermon yesterday on "The Cosmopoli
tan Christ." "Mankind has always
yearned to see God." said Rev. Mr.
Richardson. "Jesus Christ was God's
answer to that longing. He was and

"There were no cliques nor color

cosmopolitan as to teachings. At his
feet may sit the Oriental and American.
His Golden Rule is for all ages and
mankind. And if it were applied, all

poor wages and poverty would disap
pear.
"Poverty is unnatural. Nature Is
never poor. Remove the cause and
poverty will go."
"Our Glorious Lord" was the theme
of a sermon preached by itev. Alex
ander Beers yesterday morning In the
First Free Methodist Church, East
Ninth and Mill streets.
Rev. Mr. Beers 6aid:
"I am in Portland to preach Christ
and not creed. I believe that the story
of the cross and of Calvary has a pe
culiar charm and fascination. I believe
that the full gospel and the complete
Saviour will mean a full church. Peo
ple are tired of husks and desire the
kernel."
"Rights and Wrongs of Labor" was
the topic dscussed by Rev. W. T. S.
Brlggs, of the Arleta Baptist Church,
last night. "By rights of labor, I
mean what Is right and Just for labor.
Labor has the right to Its rights. By
me wrongs i mean the wrongs it com
mits." he said.
"That there is great aggravation and
great agitation in the world todav no
one doubts, and among the wrongs of
laDOr is tne fact that labor does not
always make right and Justice its goal.
It is a big mistake to allow hair
trigger leaders. Organized labor is
too sensitive, either it feels too big
or is pettish. Again it makes a mis
take not to recognize the right of the
man out or the union.
"One of the biggest mistakes of la
bor is berating the church. It expects
ine cnurcn to take the side of labor,
when the church must be the judge and
savior of both sides."
"NEIGHBOR LOVE" TEXT
REV. FATHER BLACK RELATES
STORY OF" GOOD SAMARITAN. -
Persons Who Can Deal Alike With All
Races, and Help Own Enemies,
Are Christians, He Says.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself," said Rev. Father- J. H. Black
In his sermon at St. Francis Catholic
Church yesterday morning. "We must
love the most desplcaDle. lowliest hu
man being because In that being is the
image and likeness of God the Father."
Father Black took his text from the
parable of the Good Samaritan, de
scribing the place where the Good
Samaritan found the robber's victim,
midway between Jericho and Jerusa
lem, and the Inn that stands on the
spot where the Samaritan had his
"neighbor" cared for.
"We must love the various races,
the little yellow Japanese, the negro,
the Chinese, the Hindu. Love them as
ourselves. But you say 'I can't do that!'
Tes, "you can. It Is not possible for
you to have the same affection for a
little darkey that you have never be
fore seen that a child has for her
mother; the love that a husband ex
tends his wife, or a brother loves his
sisterrBut you can distinguish be
tween love, respect, affection and re
gard. "It Is so human to go off a-tangent
and get 'mad,' and desire revenge. But
when you have hate for someone, or
are revengeful, think! Tou are sinning
against Almighty God, for the person
toward whom your malice is extended
Is the picture, the image of God.
"We often forget that "your neigh
bor' means the whole world, all hu
manity, means man that was created
in the image and likeness of God, and
that when we love our neighbor we
are loving God. It is a good test of
Christianity to love your neighbor as
yourself. To be able to remember that
In time of anger. When you can love
and help those who are striving against
you and are your enemies, then you are
a good Christian."
Lightning Toll Increased.
EUGENE, Or., Sept. 8. (Special.)
The funeral of William Nelson, killed
by lightning yesterday afternoon, prob
ably will not take place -until word Is
received from a brother. Dr. N. C. Nel
son, In Chicago. During the storm yes
terday the lightning struck objects in
many parts of the county. Two horses
In a field on the E. W. Zumwalt farm,
near Irving, were instantly killed.
SOUL CULTURE IS URGED
Process of Reaching Perfection
Declared Evolutionary, but Un
ceasing Vigilance Is Held
Price of Spiritual Liberty.
Rev. John E. Nelson, formerly of
Friday Harbor, Wash., entered upon
his pastorate at the Anabel Presbyter
ian Church, Fifty-sixth street and
Thirty-seventh avenue, yesterday,
when he preached his Initial sermon,
choosing for his topic, "Soul Culture."
"We must be nurtured into sturdy
and mature Christian manhood and
womanhood," said Mr. Nelson, "if we
would, graduate into the University of
Heaven."
"It Is Important to know the law
which God has ordained for the soul's
development," he declared, adding that
soul culture does not pause in Its
growth with self-satisfaction, but
finds fruit in assisting others to wor
thier lives. "Let the ministers of the
gospel be content that the seed Is
Incorruptible, and that It has taken
root," was his assurance.
"Neither is perfection achieved in a
speedy and miraculous growth of the
soul," he observed, "but ra.ther let us
be content with a gradual growth in
Christ's likeness. You cannot hurry
Nature. Spring merges gradually Into
Summer, and Summer into Autumn, but
the brightness and the maturity of the
soul God watches over may be relied
upon.
"I believe that. If we are faithful,
if we are seeking to do God's will, al
though our lives may be imperfect.
God will so perfect our tfouls that our
life work may be completed. 'Take
heed unto thyself.' is the oft-repeated
exhortation of Moses to the people
whom he loved. Eternal vigilance is
the price of spiritual life, liberty and
power. Environment cannot save. It
was in Heaven that Satan fell."
The gospel of Christ has been
preached for centuries, said Mr. Nel
son, and ultimately will prevail despite
the discouragement to be found In the
modern madness of world war.
"The world seems not to be heed
ing," he charged. "Today the world
Is aroused as never before. The na
tions fly at one another's throats like
beasts. Who are these kings, emper
ors and war lords, that they should
make so free with human life? I can
not help but think that all this suffer
ing and bloodshed is the lack of soul
culture. God plainly tells us that we
are responsible for the training and
the saving of souls. That is the one
great fundamental mission of the
church In this community In any
community."
The new pastor or Anaoel Presoyxer
lan Church was bora In Utah, and was
educated at Marietta University. He
was ordained by the Presbytery of
Chemun In the synod of New York.
For two years he was pastor of Hec
tor Church. New York, later answering
call to Bellvlew. Idaho, and for a
number of years was In the mission
field of Indian Territory among the
Seminole and Creek nations. He was
pastor at r riaay xiaroor, v asn., ior

ton. Mr. Goodman and Mr. Turk rolled
down a 60-foot embankment and all
three were hurried to the Muhlenberg
Hospital in Plalnfield. For a time it
was feared they were seriously hurt,
and dispatches sent broadcast through
out the country owing to the promi
nence .of the trio Indicated there might
be tragic consequences.
Mrs. Jeanette Goodman, who lives at
the Nortonia Hotel, mother of Mr.
Goodman, has received a letter, how
ever, saying the accident was minor.
Mr. Goodman suffered a sprained back
and painful bruises, but was able to
leave the hospital the next day. Mr.
Brady and Mr. Turk likewise escaped
without more than painful hurts.
The trio had been to Plalnfield to
witness the production of Mr. Good
man's new play. "The Man Who Came

rear axle of the automobile broke,
sending the car over the embankment.

Rev. Mr. Grlffls scored the thought
that war is necessary for preventing
the decay of the natural courage of the
race.
"War is not necessary so long as we
have the church." he said. "The cour
age demanded in war is that of the
common savages. But there is a higher
courage which is demanded in the work
of the church, moral courage. '
The speaker emphasized the oppor
tunities for such courage in the polit
ical, commercial and religious world.
