THE MORNING OEEGOMAX, MONDAY, JANUARY 1. 1917. W. H, WARREN HEARD Address Delivered at Trinity Methodist Church. TOPIC IS CIVIC AFFAIRS Election of , Good Magistrates and Passage of Proper Lavs Respon sibility of Public, la Theory. Prohibition Benefit Cited. An address on civic responsibility was delivered by William H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Albee, at Trinity Methodist Church yesterday morning. The address was entirely extempo raneous, Mr. Warren being invited by tho pastor to speak when he expected to listen to a special sermon by the pastor of the church, Kev. P. N. Sandl Jur. Included in the advice given the con gregation by Mr. Warren were: "Help US enforce the curfew law. Help us weed out all the blind pigs by 'giving Information to the proper authorities of those places where suspicious ac tions are recorded. Help us enforce the law against selling cigarettes to minors by giving the authorities information of those dealers, whether big or small, Who are violating this ordinance. "The church Is charged with the most sacred duties. If it falls in their performance then those duties will go unperformed," said Mr. Warren. "The church should be the most practical in stitution in all the world. "The church should take an active part in the government of the munici pality. You may aid In good govern Xncnt In several ways. Blame Laid to Voter. "The first 'of these is in selecting rood officials. Tou have the sovereign power through your vote, and usually you get as good government as you demand. "Then put yourself In the attitude of willingness to co-operate with those officials whom you have selected. Get behind the officials you have selected and show them you are willing to give them your hearty support, "Get Intelligent and accurate infor mation on what the laws are, and what the city officials are supposed to do in the discharge of their duties." Mr. Warren then launched into a flissertation of what good had come of the passage of the prohibition law, ending with an expression of the, hope that the next legislative session would enact legislation that would make the possession of liquor sufficient evidence to seize. "We have not been able to realise yet," said Mr. Warren, "what a blessing the prohibition law has been. We have sot been able yet to approximate Its beneficial results. But we cannot rest on the assurance that the fight Is over. 1XF. mii.t hnM Vi rnilnfl WM KuVa Al ready gained, for the saloon will re turn if there is the smallest chance. Stringent Law Advocated. "I hope that the next Legislature will give us a workable law. Under the present- law there have been many arrests and the prosecution has been clearly conducted and there seemed to be little doubt about the guilt of the accused, but Jurors have sometimes not convicted because they disapproved- of the manner in which evidence had been obtained. That, to my mind, is not the function of a Jury, but, we must get a law that will make possession of liquors sufficient evidence for seizure." As to motion pictures Mr. Warren said that he thought the producers had misjudged the publio mind when they thought "smut was preferred to pic tures .that were clean. "You can help weed out the unclean pictures by re 'porting to us the exhibition of unclean pictures," he declared. Such admonition. he said, seemed useless when there ex- Isted a board of censors, "but a board of censors cannot keep ahead of public sentiment, was his explanation. Misunderstanding of motives, he said, was the cause of a number of difficul ties In this world. - For example he cited the present strike among em ployes of shipbuilding concerns. He eaid that with' an understanding of motives there should be little trouble between employers and employes. FORWARD MARCH IS URGED Kev. C. C. Rarlck Tells Congregation -J to Face Future Confidently. . This year will be unlike any other.' (aid Rev. C. C. Rarlck. pastor of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, yesterday morning in his New Year's sermon. "Through the coming years we must iro on. No event returns. Its days sd events will ail be new. There will come to us Joys and sorrows. Which will predominate we do not know, but much depends on us, upon our wisdom, our work, our Ideals, our fortitude. "Most, indeed, depends on ourselves. Meet sorrow bravely. If it comes. Bear up under dissappolntment. Be hope ful, be courageous, be earnest, be true hearted, be Just, be generous. Re member Him who said 'My grace is sufficient unto you.' "History of mankind is filled with the stories of the pathfinders the plo seers of new lands. The movement of people into new lands is typical of s.11 human advancement. The men honored by humanity are those who do not turn back but go on. "We cannot go back to yesterday or last year. Through the years we sail on. Perhaps it is this that suggests the development of character. Such forward motion In the march of a soul through life's experiences seems to me the true ideal whether attainable or not." GOOD RESOLUTION'S ARE TJRGED Rev. Arthur F. Bishop Cites Proverb oT Prodigal Son. "Hell is not paved with good inten Hons," said Rev. Arthur F. Bishop, o Central Presbyterian Church, in his sermon yesterday morning on "Th Best New Year's Resolution." "I Will Arise and Go to My Father," Luk xv:18, was his text. "Some people ridicule New Year' resolutions. It is said that the way to hell is paved with good resolutions. But that statement Is untrue. The way to hell may be paved with broken resolutions, but with good resolution never I It is possible that the road to hades is strewn with broken prom fses, irresolution and procrastination but amongst these the good resolve has no- place. "The flippant way n which people make resolutions, the conscienceless way in which they break them and the wrong motives with which they are made may be responsible tor the dls f avor with which they are regarded fy some. "Nevertheless it is true that the forming of a good resolution often times marks the turning point in our Jives, when we resolve to loose our selves from the old habits of living and determine upon a new and better course of life. The New Year is as good a time as any for the forming of these resolu tions, perhaps better than any other time, lor there la eomethlBS. especially frnnreKKlvM nhmit tiA rlnfnfir of thA old 1 year and the beginning- of the new; many minds not ordinarily disposed to serious thinking- become so at this time and the time to strike is when the Iron is hot." The speaker said that the resolution f the prodigal son was the best reso lution that could be made if it was formed deliberately and carried Into rrect and then It had a "viod-wara turn." GOD'S FORESIGHT IS SHOWN Foolishness of Human Parents Con trasted by Rev. J. S. Kirtley. "Virtue may be innocence, but inno cence is not virute unjess that inno- nce is deliberately chosen in the face f temptation, declared Rev. James 8. Kirtley, of Chicago, who is filling the pulpit at the White Temple tempor- rily. "God s Gentleness and Our Great ess," was his topic yesterday morn ing. "God might have started out this world with its wireless, Its autos and its advanced agriculture, but then where would we find our Edisons. our Wright brothers and our Burbanks?" he continued. 'Many a father makes the mistake of not giving the son enough room to develop individuality, and imposes on the boy ideas that are foreign to is make-up. With the world the lord as not done this, but has given It a chance to develop along Its own lines." Dr. Kirtley, who was formerly pas tor -of a church in, Duluth also, comes from Chicago. He has supplied the White Temple several Sundays in the last month or. two and has brought some splendid messages to the people of Portland. Dr. Kirtley further discussed the Motherhood of God," interpreting His every act as of benefit to the world. ST. STEPHEN'S REJOICES SPECIAL SERVICES MARK 52D ANNI VERSARY AT PRO-CATHEDRAL. Dean McColllster Says Parish Haa Not Existed In Vain, if One Single Way farer Haa Been Helped. . "If St. Stephen's parish has helped one single wayfarer on life's Journey, It has not existed In vain." said Dean E. H. McColllster yesterday morning in his sermon, which was a part of the observance jot the 52d anniversary of the founding of the church. Special music marked the occasion, and the sermon was a heart-to-heart message to the parishioners. "What St. Stephen's has meant to the thousands who have floated In and out, God only knows, but i S2 years surely many hearts have found solace and help here. It Isn't only the truth spoken n the pulpit and the devotion In the pews that brings honor to a church," declared the dean, but it is the manner n which we live the truth that counts. Business men, on you rests the re sponsibility. If the men who know you in the oftice or shop never ac cuse you of hypocrlcy; if they never point at you and say 'See him, he be longs to St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, and he's a fraud,' but if they respect you and find you are always honorable and upright in your life and dealings, then you are true witnesses unto the Lord and a credit to the church." That was his charge to the men. and to the women be gave a simi lar message, commending right living, righteousness, practical Christianity. . Of the future of the parish, the dean said, it Is probable the church will re mam where it is for some time, but In the shifting of population there might be necessitated, in the years to come, some change. "But, whatever the fu ture, the problem now is for us to be witnesses for Christ," he said, "and do all the good we can." . The congregation was urged to. fol low the word of God in faithfulness steadfastness and humility, and to get the good out of religion that comes not only from listening to the sermon and service, but from living the word. The musical service was directed by Carl Denton. J. P. Wlldman sang the solo ror the offertory. St. Stephen 8 was founded by Bishop Thomas Fielding Scott in 1864, and for several years was a chapel' for St. Helen's Hall. It haa been for about 12 years the pro-Cathedral of the diocese.

The world is the poorest place con ceivable for worldllness, according to Rev. Robert H. Milligan, pastor of Im manuel Presbyterian Church, of Ta coma, Wash., who spoke yesterday morning at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Instead he said that condi tions here were eminently fitted- for the development of character. "The development of character Is the one purpose which man may have without fear of circumstances combin ing for his defeat," he said. "Adverse i ' ' i i i - i i h 1 - i r k - : t t i - i f I V ; I i ? v . -2$sssr "-! v ' ' s 1 t l wVt "1" i If , t I I -.,.- j T - " t 1 1 - I ' CAUTION Wrappers of the New Year's Edition of The Morn ing .Oregonian for sale on the streets and news stands will bear this label: NEW YEAR'S EDITION WATCH FOR THE LABEL circumstances only serve to contribute to it." Rev. Mr. Milligan said that for those who make the seeking of a fortune the one purpose in life uncertainty al ways lurked. "Others who follow the pursuit of pleasure as a purpose do not find what they seek," he said, "for shadows fall upon the brightest hours and there la no perfect pleasure and perhaps not one perfect day." Those who accomplish their 'purpose of winning fame make many enemies, he said, and their success is thereby made unpleasant to them. Character, Rev. Mr. Milligan char acterized as the supreme purpose in ife. the highest thing in heaven as in earth. Showing the possibilities lying in the development of character Rev. Mr. Milligan referred to the life of Chrtet. Rev. Mr. Milligan jpoke highly of Dr. Edward H. Pence, the new pastor of the Westminster- Presbyterian Church, who is expected from Detroit Saturday.

PRINEVILLE'S YEAR BRIGHT Crops Bis and I "rices High, Only Drawback Being Labor Shortage "Big crops and high prices have brought prosperous times In the Prine- villa district." said J. E. Meyers, Super intendent of Schools of Crook County yesterday. "Stockmen had an unusu ally good year, and the woolgrowers especially profited from the high prices received for their clips. The only drawback the community experienced was the shortage of labor. Some f the farmers completed threshing only a few days ago, the delay being caused by the scarcity of farm help, "With the sale of the $100,000 bonds Saturday for the construction of municipal railway to connect Prlnevlll with the Oregon Trunk, it is expected that work on the project will be start ed at once. The road will be a big boon- to the Prineville district." HENRY G. BLANCHARD DIES Oregon Pioneer, Aged J0, Found - Dead in Bed at Toucliet, Wash. "WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec 31.

TIME WEIGHS DEEDS Dr. T. W. Lane Urges Service for God and Fellow Man. NEW YEAR IS OPPORTUNITY Centenary Methodist Episcopal Pas tor -Says Cultivation of Memory 'Is Uood, but Some Things Should Be Kdr gotten. "The time in which we live cannot be measured by the dial or calendar. but by the amount of good we put In It," said Dr. T. W. Lane, minister of Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church. who entreated his congregation yes terday in his New Year's sermon to begin the year with service for' God and fellow man. Remember." he said. "It Is a good idea to forget some things at the be ginning of a new year. Although it is a splendid thing to cultivate a good memory, it is also a good thing to for get. There are two sides to the change of years. The retrospect and the pros pect. Look back over the year and see wherein you have invested things worth 'while and developed opportuni ties. 'Again, what is the new year to mean to you? It is a new year of op portunlty, a time for a study of self to see what one can best do to be of serv ice. "What the new year will mean to us rests largely with ourselves, and the manner in which we take advantage of the opportunities that wo are offered. There are two forms of egotism. One Is selfish vanity that has to do with self, pleasure and material prosperity It has no thought of character or duty. The other form is noble egotism, sol emn and majestic, with a consciousness of responsibility. "The Master is like the gardener en treating for the tree. We do not know when his intercession may cease, but we do know that he has given us one more chance for the time being any way. It may be only this one year. Do your, best to make it what God would wish." LAND HOARD ASKS $8500 BUDGET IS PREPARED AND WILL GO BEFORE LEGISLATURE. Principal Eitnw la ta Snpcii talon f Reclamation Projects Under .

Bond Isaae of S3S0.O0O Said to Be Ample for Construction of" Line to Highland. Stephen Carver last night confirmed the announcement that -a 9350.000 bond issue would soon be floated to extend the line of the Portland & Oregon City riauroaa irom its present terminus. 15 miles southeast of Portland, to the Viola-Highland country. It is a bond issue that was authorized by the board some months ago. The trust deed to cover the bond Issue has been filed with the Clackamas County Clerk. Mr. Carver eald. however, that he did not know when construction on the , road would commence. 'It may be in the Spring, or several years from now.' was his comment. When extended the line will tap one of the richest timber belts near Port land. The extended piece of road will be eight miles in length. The timber that will be tapped ap proxlmates 750,000,000 feet and is good logging timber. The territory that the road will serve is also a rich farming country, and the road should have plenty of freight to Insure its early construction. The construction depends largely on timber activity in the Viola- Highland country. The bond Issue will more than cover the extension of the road, Mr. Carver declared.
