REV. C B. WALLER:
AT WHITE' TEMPLE
Southern Clergyman Preaches
on Gift of Selves as Well
as Money to God.
CHRISTMAS IS SYMBOLIZED

"The measure of love is a gift."
"With this as his theme, the Rev.
Calvin B. Waller, of Ashville. N. C.
one of the most distinguished Baptist
ministers -of the South, preached a
sermon of "giving" yesterday morning
In the "White Temple.
The setting for the message was
particularly appropriate. The pulpit
and platform were decorated for the
Christmastide. At one side was the
cross, At the other the manger with
the. star shining above, and directly
behind the speaker was an effectively
arranged picture of the three wise men.
Around the altar were arranged the
gifts that had been offered by the
Sunday school for the poor and the
friendless of the city.
"I am Just talking out of my heart
this .jnorning," said 'the visiting
preacher. "Somehow I feel that I
know you already. We are friends."
and Dr. "Waller proceeded to give little
Intimate anecdotes and friendly words
of hope and cheer that gripped his
audience and held their attention to
the last. word.
Deeds, Not Words, la Plea.
wnai is me use or singing jesus
gave It all,' when you give nothing?
To give of money Isn't the only thing.
God asks that you give yourselves.
Dr. Waller declared that many of the
churches of the country are falling
behind because the people do not give
themselves.
"The great cry of the age Is for
efficiency," he saidr- "The churches,
many of them, have not kept pace with
the times, and to do so they must have
more efficiency. This can be attained
by the surrender of the members to
Christ. Surrender means disarmament,
self-renunciation, laying down the
arms with which we have fought God.
The giving of self means the giving
of life. But he that giveth his life to
the Lord and his services will not lose
his life. He will find It. Liberality
of soul transforms the soul."
Pocketbook la Stumbling Block.
Dr. Waller told the .story of the rich
man who had been converted and
wished to be baptized. Just as the
pastor was ready to Immerse him, the
man said, "I have forgotten some
thing. Walt." And be went back and
got his pocketbook. "Why, man. you
understand this is a baptism of the
old-fashioned kind, and the pocketbook
win get wet." warned the preacher.
Thats all right," replied the convert,
this purse ,and I have served the
devil together long years, and now
I'm going to reform and devote my
lire to service of God and humanity,
and the old pocketbook has got to do
the same."
"I wish a lot more pocketbooks In
this land could have such a baptism,'
commented the speaker as he con
eluded his story. "I have no quarrel
with men getting money. If they get
It honestly, but the test Is in how they
use it. I fear, however, that many of
the people In the world, the so-called
Christians, are compromising by giv
ing money and gifts only. The Lord
wants you. The gift without the giver
has little value. My brother mah. we
are missing an heritage If we aren't
claiming It. Give ourselves and God
Will make us truly happy this Christ
mas season."
Sunday School Bu Programme.
The church service was preceded by
a programme In which all the classes
of the Sunday school participated.
Several of the classes gave cash dona
tions In white envelopes to miniature
trees. The primary children took dolls,
inetr zavonte dooks ana toys, rosy i
apples, orapges, bags of provisions and
other useful and attractive gifts that
will be distributed to the poor.
Miss Nellie Kennedy presided at the
organ, playing appropriate selections
as the classes filed past the manager
with their- offerings. The choir, di
rected by Harold Hurlbut, sang "Arise,
Shine, Ty Light Is Come" and other
anthems.
Dr. Waller's sermon was the fitting
climax. He preached again last night,
and will occupy the White Temple
pulpit until next Sunday. The annual
Christmas entertainment for the church
will be next Friday night in the lec
ture hall.

LITTLE GIRL IS HEROINE
Sad Plight of War Victims and
Meager Bread Allowance to
Children Described to Sun
day Schools Here.
German guns pounded incessantly
against the walls of a little Belgian
village. The fragment of the Belgian
army resisted desperately, but In vain.
The German soldiers entered. But the
Belgians rallied on the western edge
of the city and drove oacit me iavo
era. The Germans brought up rein
forcements and retook the village.
A squad of German troops, command
ed by mounted officers, passed through
the streets, setting fire to the houses.
They removed the furniture and car
ried it back of their lines.
Finally they came to the manse of e
church. The pastor was away, minis
tering comfort to the afflicted people
of the village. His wife was out gar
nering food for the family. A bright
eyed 12-year-old girl alone remained in
the house. She faced the German in
vaders intrepidly.
"Here, don't burn this house!" she
commanded. "My father is a good man.
He has done nothing to you."
The German officer cast a question
ing glance at her.
"Come into the house and I'll show
you," she urged.. The officer entered.
The little girl pointed out the family
Bible- on the table and a number of
sacred pictures and. mottoes on the
walls.
"Can you play Die "Wacht am
Rhine?'" demanded the officer, point
ing to the piano.
Soldiers Sing aa Girl Playa.
The child had studied music and Ger
man. She went to the piano. Her
anxious fingers promptly produced the
National anthem of Germany. The Ger
man officer and a group of his sol
diers gathered around the instrument
and sang the words.
Then the officer took down one of
the pictures from the wall and lettered
on the back: "This house shall not be
destroyed and not a piece of furniture
is to be removed."
This little incident of the early days
of the war was told to the children of
the First Presbyterian Sunday school
yesterday by Rev. Henri Anet, a mis
sionary in Belgium, wno is touring
America in the interest of Belgian re
lief. The story aptly describes the
spirit of the Belgian people.
Dr. Anet made lour aaoresses in
Portland yesterday, at the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, and at
the Presbyterian Sunday school In the
morning, at the Y. M. C. A. in the aft
ernoon and at the First Presbyterian
church in the evening.
Meager Ration Shown.
He presented the sad plight of the
Belgian people, particularly of the
children. He illustrated the condition
of the children in a graphic way, by
holding up, before his audience, a
chunk of white bread, weighing about
eight ounces.
A piece of bread, this size, without
butter and without milk, is given a
typical Belgian child each morning.
That Is all he has to eat all day. Meat
costs $1.20 a pound. Butter and eggs
cannot be obtained at all. Milk Is ex
tremely scarce. Most of the cattle
have been killed. Others have been
driven through the lines Into Ger
many."
Thousands of children now are In the
orphanages conducted by the American
relief committee, explained Dr. Anet.
They are in good health and safe from
the Immediate terrors f war, but more
money Is needed to continue them in
this condition. All contributions will
be distributed through the American
relief committee in New York.
Dr. Anet left Belgium about two
years ago and has been active In or
ganizing the relief work in this conn
try. He has reports that the war has
caused a wonderful spiritual awaken
ing among the Belgian people, that rich
and poor alike are crowding the
churches at every service. At the
Presbyterian Church last night he
spoke particularly of this phase of
present-day Belgian life.

SPORT MAY COST MORE
Proposal Is Up to Increase Fees for
Fishing and Hunting. x
It is understood that when the State
Fish -and Game Commission meets
this morning at 10 o'clock in the Ore
gon building some proposal will be
made to have the next Legislature en
act a statute increasing the cost of
fishing and hunting licenses. It is not
known definitely what the commission
will favor, but it is thought the mem
bers will favor a raise of at least 60
per cent.
The meeting of the commission this
morning will be taken up with a gen
eral discussion of legislative proposals.
There are a number of changes in the
state fish and game laws the com
mission will recommend. Among those
changes is a statute putting heavier
penalties on the running of deer with
dogs, and the revision of the state law
regarding duck shooting to conform
more nearly to the Federal statute.

DR. HINSON HEARD
Crowded House Greets Evan
gelist at Grace Church.
MATERIAL RICHES SCORNED
Ex-Pastor of White Temple, Who
Has Been Called by East Side
Qpngregation, Declines to An
nounce Sis Intentions.
"Jesus Christ had to work a miracle
to pay his poll tax."
"The poor man has & fighting
chance to enter heaven."
"If I had Rockefeller's millions,
know that I would go to hell."
Such were the terse statements made
by W. B. Hinson, former pastor of the
White Temple and for the past year
engaged in evangelistic work, in bis
sermon yesterday morning at Grace
Baptist Church, East Seventy-ixth and
East Ash streets. His theme was "All
Things Work Together for good to
Those Who Love God."
Not only did Dr. Hinson flood the
little church with trite ooints on the
path to righteousness, but he took tj
task the, definition given by . James J.
Hill, late financier and railroad wizard,
to success. Dr. Hinson declared that
the measure of success attained in this
world depends upon service to God and
not upon the ability of the man to
save money. And it was along this
line of thought that he made the state
ment that the Savior was so poor
throughout life that he was not able
to meet his tax.
Dr. Hinson did not dwell long on the
power of achievement as the index to
the immortal future of man, but the
message carried to the people of the
crowded little house of worship was,
in short, that the parent who makes a
sacrifice for the happiness of the chil
dren at the yuletide and has to worry
and scrape to gather together a few
gifts, is more worthy than the rich
man that only signs a piece of paper
and then forgets it.
At the conolusion of the sermon, the
little congregation sent a message of
sympathy to its regular pastor. Rev.
H. T. Cash, who underwent an opera
tion 10 days ago.
Dr. Hinson has been called to the
pastorate of the -East Side Baptist
Church and will occupy that pulpit
next Sunday. Dr. Hinson declines to
announce what action he intends to
take in the matter.
BIBLE IS CALLED GUIDE BOOK
Dr. A. F. Bishop Uses That Theme at
Central Presbyterian Church.
"The Bible, the Guide Book of Life,"
was the topic of Dr. Arthur F. Bishop's
sermon last night at Central Presby
terian Church. Dr. Bishop classed the
Bible as not only the guide, but the
way of life.
"The Bible is the revelation of God's
character and will to man," he said.
It teaches what man is to believe
about God and what duty God requires
of man. What his Baedeker is to the
traveler, interest tables to the money
lender ana logarithms to tne surveyor,
the Bible is to the Christian. By it he
orders his life in such a way as to de
velop his character and to be of great
st service to his fellow men and thus
to fulfill the purpose for which his
maker created him.
"The Bible sets forth three methods
by which life may be ordered by pre
cept, example and the pdwer of an end
less life.
"Jesus tells us that the sum of the
commandments is to love God supreme
ly and .our neighbor as ourselves. The
will of God, In precept, is most fully
revealed in the loew Testament. Here
we have portrayed the virtues which
we are to incorporate Into our lives,
and the vices which we are to elimi
nate, the works of the flesh and of
the spirit. Peter describes the orderly
way In which, out of faith, the funda
mental virtue of the Christian char'
acter there is developed in orderly sue
cession, as a tree from Its roots, fe
fourfold trunk of manliness, knowl
edge, self-control and patience, upon
which grow the three great branches
of love of God and love to. all men,
which bear'the fruitage of the Chris
tian life.
"Paul tells us that every scripture
Inspired of God Is also "profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction,
for Instruction which ts in righteous
ness that the man of God may be com
plete, completely furnished unto every
good work."
HOME INFLUENCE IS IIIGJIEST
Vlrtnes and Vices Are Reflections,
Say Rev. E. O. Eldridge.
Rev. E. Olin Eldridge spoke yester
day at Mount Tabor Methodist Episco
pal Church on "Home, he Greatest of
Our Institutions." '"History shows," he
said, "that from the earliest period of
the human race home has been a bar
rier against the attacks of wild human
passions a force making for man's
higher and nobler nature.
"But for the -home and its society the
state could never have withstood the
mighty cataclysms that have marked
the history of man.
Home has been glorified in song and
proverb and prophecy. Its Influence
tor order and, safety, for goodness and
moral purity la seen in every upward
movement mankind has taken. It
throws Its life-giving beams on life
and by the warmth of its preside gives
meaning to lives of untold millions.
'The betterment of the. world can
never be accomplished without the co
operation of the home. Society, with
its hopes, trials, victories, dereats, vir
tues and vices, is but the reflection of
ts fa-nilies. Even when states are dis
solved and churches scattered, the home
will remain, the memorial of the lost
Eden.
'The members of the family are
bound together. To be false to family
ties Is to undermine society. On the
parents rests the responsibility of caf
lng for the gifts of God the children.
And brethren, you cannot be one kind
of a person and expect your children
to be another." v
Woman's highest Ideal, said Rev. Mr.
Eldridge, was to make home attractive.
She should prefer to be the mother or
great people to leading Legislatures, he
said. The home should be religious and
a proper place to mould good charac
ter. EXDTOIXC LIFE WORK T7RGED
Many Waste Their Lives, Declares-
Her. C. O. Iiarlck.
"Build your life work not In the sand.
but lrr-the eternal goodness of Christ,"
was the advice of Rev. C. C. Rarick,
of Central Methodist Episcopal Church,
yesterday. His theme was "Will Your
Life Work Last?" Rev. Mr. Rarick
com-pared the life work of most of the
people to that of an artist who in the
Summer drew and moulded images in
the sand, only to have them washed
away each morning with the tide.
"With many of us It Isn't only tne
story of a Summer, but of a. whole life,
wasted In nothing more substantial
than the shifting sand. So little good
remains. because so unendurlng are the
material views and so poorly are they
chosen that the testing tides and winds
obliterate everything.
"Let us strive to do work that will
withstand the tests of time, tide and
Are, the work that shall remain , a
monument of Christ's teaching."
Rev. Mr. Rarick compared the Build
ing of character and life work to the
building of a house, and advocated the
use of Christian strength, not straw or
wood that would perish.
HEW COST CRY RAISED
"OX TO CITY HALL" IS PLAX AD
VANCED BY SOCIALISTS.
Municipal Food Depot Believed Neeea
aarr to Reduce Present High
Cost ot Living.
"On to the City Hall I" will be the
cry of Socialist antl-hlgh-cost-of-liv-
ing crusaders. They voted Saturday
night to appeal to the City Commission
to build municipal food depots, buy
direct from producers and sell to con
sumers at cost.
With Victor J. McCone. state secre
tary for the Socialist party of Oregon,
In -the chair, the Socialists met in Li
brary Hall. They talked Socialism.
and said the abolition of private own
ershlp is the only solution for the high
living cost.
Albert Streiff made a regulation
soapbox talk, while A. KlngswortS
epoke in a rather informing way of the
Socialistic doctrines. A motion was
made and carried that Chairman Mc
cone appoint a committee of 10 to car
ry the mesage to the City commis
sioners that the Socialists had outlined
a cure for the present ills. He will
name this committee later.
One odd event of the meeting was the
repudiation of the egg boycott In the
house where it was born only two
weeks ago. Chairman McCone declared
it was idle and futile to boycott eggs.
The Socialist way of remedying the evil
was said to be the only way.
