Westminster Presbyterian Church was
filled yesterday with a congregation of
Interested, attentive, appreciative men
and women who assembled to hear
their new pastor. Rev. Edward H.
Pence, formerly of Detroit. There was
In the atmosphere, at the beginning,
bo me expectancy and, maybe, a little
curiosity, but before the sermon was
half over the members krew that their
new,, pastor was the right man in the
right place, a man with a message, a
man who would preach fearlessly, con
vincingly. "God grant that I may preach the
(rospel of Jesus Christ to you," said Dr.
Pence, "but grant, too, that you may
preach it to the nearly 300.000 people
of the city of Portland.
"The gospel of Christ will solve all
the problems of human lie. I have
nothing else than this gospel to preach.
It grapples all the difficulties. There
Is no other solution for your problem
of personal sin except Jesus. Let's
have It out here and now, if you have
an Idea that in some way of happen
. stance there will be a working out of
: your problems without him, just give
' It up now. Christ is the only way.
Three Problems Cited.
"There are in the world the three
. problems that of evil In the world
, that of man's individual sin, and the
other the experience of human suffer
ing. Jesus met and grappled with all
of these and he conquered them."
Dr. Pence urged his hearers to accept
and rely upon the word of God as the
great foundation for strength and good
Iness. He said that, without the help
that is found in the Bible, all striving
is in vain. "My beloved people, for by
"that term I may call you now," he
"said, "I call upon you to realize that,
- without the foundation of this blessed
book, all our labors will be in vain.
The faith that has inspired you to
build this beautiful building must be
exemplified in your everyday lives,
must be the keynote of all your acts."
The 53d chapter of Isaiah, read as the
morning lesson, formed the inspiration
for the sermon. Its prophecies and
fulfillments were referred to through
out the discourse. The chapter was
ttermed by Dr. Pence "the greatest pic
; ture of all time."
Special Mnsfc Provided.
Instead of taking a text. Dr. Pence
Cffld he took a " pretext " for that
matchless chapter and from Matthew
Viii:17 he quoted: "That it might be ful
filled which was spoken by Isaias, the
prophet, saying, 'lie is despised and
rejected of men; a man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief, and we hid as it
were our faces from him; he was de
epised and we esteemed him not. All
we, like sheep, have gone astray; we
have turned everyone to his own way
the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity
of us all.' To him who Inspired these
lines, the Man of Galilee, Dr. Pence
urged his congregation to turn.
Special music was given by the choir
under the direction of J. Hutchison,
choir director and organist. The
anthem was "Hallelujah Unto God's
Almighty Son" (Beethoven). a

injury done him. cannot call himself
the child of our Father in heaven.
"Everyone who would be the child
of God must love even as the Father
in heaven has loved. The greatest of
all Christian graces is love. Love is
the bond of perfectness the tie that
binds all the other graces o( a Chris
tian character into a perfect whole.
He who would be perfect must be per
fect in love. Let us strive, therefore,
to be perfect In love, even as the
Father.
"How men strive after perfection in
other directions! How they covet its
attainment! I have read somewhere
of two artists who- each strove to
outdo the other. One painted fruit so
perfect that the birds came and picked
at it. The other -jaid: 'Lift this scroll
and you will find my picture.' The
artist attempted, but found that it was
a painted scroll, "I have won the prize,'
said the second artist, 'for you have
deceived but the birds, and I have de
ceived a great artist.'
"But you and I can paint a greater
picture than that. Upon the canvas of
our hearts let us keep painting the
love of our fellow men. And finally
the greatest of all artists shall say:
'I am satisfied, for my child is per-,
feet, even as his Father in heaven is
perfect."

Rev. W. II. Reece Preaches Before
New Church Society.
In his sermon on "The World," Rev.
William R. Reece, yesterday in Ellers
Hall, before the New Church Society,
said: "Due to the efforts of higher
criticisms, numberless men and women
have lost faith in the Bible as the
Word of God. When insisted on as a
lUeral account of creation, a handbook
(9 science, or a textbook of ethics, it
immediately arouses the ire of the
niddern scientific mind.
"Many earnest thinkers wish to pre
serve a belief in the Bible- as a book
of supreme worth, but cannot do so
under fire of scientific historical and
textual criticism.
"To such came Emanuel Swedenborg,
asserting that a key to the book, 'a
science of correspondences' fully set
forth in his writings brings out a
meaning within the letter, revealing
a book within a book. This inner book
treats solely of the unfoldment of hu
man life both individual and social
"Among great thinkers who have rec
ognized Swedenborg's claims may be
mentioned Emerson, Coleridge, Ben
Franklin, William Dean Howells, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, Professor William
Lyon Phelps, of Tale, Mark Twain and
Edwin Markham, who paid a recent
tribute in these words: "There to no
doubt that Swedenborg was one of the
colossi of all ages, one of the three
or four greatest intellects that haye
appeared upon the planet.' "

Second Week In Portland In
Eleventh-street Theater.
"Intolerance" began its second week
at the Eleventh-street Theater yester
day. The audiences were big both at
the afternoon and evening presentation.
indicating that the Biblical significance
of the spectacle drew heavily on the
Sunday theater-goers. The picture also
was the subject of pulpit discussion
yesterday at the Piedmont Presbyterian
Church, where Rev. A. L. Hutchison
analyzed its adherence to Biblical de
tail and the scope of its theme.
The photo-drama is D. W. Griffith's
only production since "The Birth of a
Nation," and he sought to dramatize,
on a spectacular plane, the allied hu
man emotions coincident with love's
struggle through the ages. His popular
theme has been embellished with the
picturesque and lavish episodes stand
ing out in four particular ages of his
tory, namely, the Babylonian period.
531 B. C, the Judean era, 27 A. D., the
French Huguenot period of the 16th
century, and the modern age.
The theme has been handled with
melodramatic touch, especially in the
modern story, which make it a more
human picture than so spectacular an
undertaking could be without It.
The spectacular scenes are in the
Babylonian, Judean and French Hugue
not periods, and the warfare of Cyrus,
King of Persia, is magnificent in scale
and detail. The famous feast of Bel
shazzar Is like a master painting
brought to life. Other famous charac
ters in history have been depicted in
the story, among them Henry of rJa
varre and Catherine de Medici.
"Intolerance," it is reported, cost al
most $2,000,000, and 15,000 persons took
part in its prsduction. On seeing the
picture the statements are not doubted
Manager Pangle said yesterday that
already there were a number of "re
peaters" among the spectators. A syi
phony of 27 pieces, and a chorus, are
used with the picture.

realities as every other department of
human thought and endeavor is today
awane. ine cnurcn must show ac
tivity commensurate with the activity
or tne world, if it would win the world
to Christ."
The Rev. Mr. Tapscott continued his
preparatory sermons for the revival in
the evening, preaching along much the
same line. The morning service was
followed by communion.

Calvary Church, at East Eighth and
Grant streets, each evening of this

erty of his father. Moy Back Hin,- who

nese Consul at Seattle, in the owner
ship of the' Hotel Oregon.

LAND LAW DEFINED
Representative Sinnott Sends
Draft to Constituents. '
GRAZING AREA . AFFECTED
Entrymen Allowed 64 0 Acres, o
Which They 3Iust Reside Three
Years and Make Improve
ments of $1.25 an Acre.
The Ferris 640-acre homestead law.
which was signed recently by Presi
dent Wilson, has, apparently, numer
ous attractions for Oregon residents,
and X. J. Sinnott, Representative in
Congress from the Second Oregon dis
trict, has sent out a rough draft of the
law with the hope that it will give the
major Information sought by his con
stituents. It will be some time before
the full text of the law and the rules
and regulations governing the entry
on the lands affected will be issued by
the Government printing office, though
the land offices have the information
and the law is in effect. Pending re
ceipt of the full text of the measure
Mr. Sinnott writes that the rough draft
should be sufficient for prospective
entrants to get a general understand
ing of the law.
The law permits the entry of 640
acres of semi-grazing land by any
qualified entryman. The law does not
apply to all public lands, but to sucb
areas as -are suitable only for stock
raising and grazing. There is a con
siderable acreage in Oregon and other
Northwestern states.
Residence Is Required.
To acquire title under the Ferris act
an entryman must reside upon his
homestead not less than three years
and make permanent improvements to
the value of at least $1.25 an acre, orre
half of which must be placed on the
land within three years after the date
of entry. Cultivation Is not required.
Commutation of entry is not allowed.
If a homestead entryman heretofore
has exhausted his homestead right by
securing title to 160 acres in the humid
regions, the 640-acre homestead tract
does not restore his right nor permit
him to enter an additional homestead.
The theory of the law is that only one
homestead may be taken by an indi
vidual entryman. If the homestead
was lost or title never acquired or
grazing land previously taken in
smaller portions which would now
come under the new act, a second entry
could be made of course.
Provision for restoring homestead
rights to those who previously bought
Indian land is being made.

President Wilson's note. It is the belief of the New York Times that Count von Bernstorf f
stands quite alone in this country in his view that Germany's note should be regarded "as
constituting an acceptance of everything suggested by President Wilson in his note to the
belligerent nations of Europe." On the other hand the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung affirms
that Berlin's reply marks "a further step on the right road," and that "Germany has taken
up her position completely on the same ground as President Wilson" in planning for the
prevention of future wars.
The Allies say they want restitution, reparation, and guarantees of future security.
Germany's-reply to the President's note states a desire for "an immediate meeting of
delegates" before terms are disclosed. This injects a new point of friction. Shall the
delegates meet first, or terms be stated first? Is Germany sincerely working for peace,
or cleverly avoiding the President's request?
