FEAR IS BIG BARRIER
"Quit Grasshopper Feeling"
Advises Rev. Warren Morse.
DRIVING POWER IS URGED
Giants Fall Before Fearless Men
of Faith, Declares Minister in
Plea for Stiffening of One's
Will to Right Lines.
"Quit the grasshopper feeling and
bs a man of Chrlsfs own spirt," urged
Rev. Warren Morse, pastor nf Atkinson
Memorial Congregational Church, yes
terday, when he save an interesting:
sermon on "The Barrier of a Thought."
"Do you remember the dozen chiefs
of tribes of Israel who were sent to
spy out the land of Canaan 7" he asked.
"Ten came back frightened at some
CTlants they saw and said. We were In
our own sight as grasshoppers.' They
died In their fears and their bones
were left to bleach in the desert.
"The other two, undaunted at long
oontlnued difficulties, at last led their
victorious hosts into Canaan."
Rev. Mr. Morse told of the great men
' who. like the two chiefs, had gone on
In spite of trouble and won lasting
glory for themselves and theirs.
"Giants." he said, "fall before fear
less men of faith. Goliath bites the
dust before the onslaught of little
David. Fear is oftentimes only the
barrier of thought.
" 'Some of your hurts you have cored.
And the sharpest you still have survived.
But what torments of grief you endured
From evil which never arrived.'
"Man will not rise above his sources,
for 'As he thinketh in his heart, so
is he.' What you are is limited by
your past fears.
"Smash . through your fears today
and tomorrow you will be well on your
way to Canaan. Increase your driving
power. Stiffen your will to right
lines. Fears of unworthiness hamper.
The summons of Jesus is high, and
when he calls a man and the man an
swers with his whole life, that man
will be made fit." a
WASHINGTON'S LIFE IS TOPIC
Rev. A. B. Waltz Points to Liessons
Taught by Failures.
It was the Indomitable spirit of
George Washington, who, despite dis
couragement and defeat, pressed ever
on toward his goal, which made his
name what it is to the American peo
ple, according to the declaration of
Rev. A, B. Waltz, pastor of the Glen
coe Baptist Church, in his address,
"George Washington's Failure." deliv
ered last night.
Rev. Mr. Waltz declared that one
element of real greatness and of real
goodness is to know how to benefit
by seeming failures.
"All men are in the failing class,"
he said. "We fall every day. The
difference between us lies In the way
we act after the failure has come.
The man who can be perplexed, yet
not despair, is the man who idealizes
his calling." .
The first memorable event of George
Washington's life was declared by Rev.
Mr. Waltz to have been a failure, but
he showed how that particular de
feat was not permitted by the young
leader to "set the pace" for the later
activities of his life.
"The man who does not reach the
polrvt of despair Is the man who is
willing many times to start absolutely
new. Washington had to start at the
bottom, at Fort Necessity, at Valley
Forge and many other times. Paul
did not get discouraged because a wall
rose up in front of him. And even if
everything went to pieces, he picked
up the fragments, if he could, and
started in again.
"All men are in the falling class. We
fail every day. The difference be
tween us lies in the way we act after
the failure has come. A small reverse
has been known to keep people out of
the kingdom of God. Others, like King
David, sinned grievously, yet, notwith
standing this missing of the mark,
have more than triumphed. It is a
good sign when one Is perplexed about
the life he is living."
DR. FXDRIDGE TALES ON FAITH
Christian Imagination Makes Hum
blest Lives Divine, He Says.
"And the apostle said unto the Lord.
Increase our faith."' Luk 17:5 was the
text of Rev. E. Olln Eldrldge's morn
ing sermon at Mount Tabor Methodist
Episcopal Church on "Christian Faith
the Motive Power of a Christian
Life."
"Faith is an inspired imagination,"
he said. "Blessed is that Imagination
which expands and lifts the low roof
cf life, and fills It with dreams of
what might have been and mav t.
The distinctive glory of Christianity is
its expansive spirit the development
of the Individual. It alms to make
very personality royal and kingly.
The humblest lives may be divine.
"We broaden our lives by changing
our viewpoints. Sin, however, clips
the wings of Imagination and turns
life into a prison cell. Holiness ex
tends all boundaries of our being.
"When men ask for more faith It is
a good sign that they already have
some. A soul that stands firm In. Its
struggle for the right must have a
support other than that which is seen.
"Government Is not sufficient to the
salvation of the world. It will regu
late the outward conduct in a meas
ure, but government and laws cannot
nave men from their sins. Education
Is as powerless In this matter as leg
islation. "But the gospel of Christ takes hold
of the sinful life and regenerates it.
Jiave raith in God; It will do every
thing."
PRAYER IS SERMO. THEME
Answer Often Too Liberal to Be
Recognized, Says Pastor.
Rev. William R. Reece spoke on the
subject of "Prayer" before the New
Church Society, in Ellers Hall, Broad
way and Alder streets. He said, io
part: "Prayer Is opening the mind to
God. The essentials of prayer that get
results are: An approximately correct
idea of God: that the prayer be for an
-unselfish purpose, and an unquestion
ing obedience to the answer dictated.
All sincere prayers are answered, but
only the unselfish from God. Usually
the answer is so much bigger than we
expect that we do not recognize It.
Answers do not always consist In th6
pouring of material things into a man's
ap, but rather in giving him the wit
necessary to secure what is needed.
'The most effective prayer is made
when confidence In one'e own power to
direct himself is weakened, when trust
In self gives way to trust in God. Mul
titudes of prayers are unanswered be
cause made for selfish purposes. Prav-
ers for qualities of character are in
variably answered. When the Quali
ties of spiritual life become fixed in a
man's character, then the necessary
materitl good comes along as a consequence."

There have recently been a num
ber of large cargoes of lumber sent
from the Columbia River to Bombay.
Indicating a growing demand there for
Oregon fir. Railroad and similar de
velopment operations in that section
of India are said to have stimulated
the need for lumber such as is turned
out here.
The British steamer Potomac Is un
der charter to carry lumber from this
port to the west coast of South Amer
ica, in the service of Dant & Russell.
She will come to this port from Seattle
for loading as soon as she has dis

Valparaiso, handled for the Braden
Copper Company.
Preparations for furnishing the
cargo for the two steamers are al
ready being mads here with the view
of giving them quick dispatch.
An off-shore lumber carrier which
has been expected to arrive In this

British schooner David Evans, now 108
days out from Port Plrle. She Is un
der charter to Balfour,' Guthrie & Co.
to load lumber here for Australia. She
is making an unusuaally long passage,
due, it is believed, to unfavorable

daring air feats and no end of thrills
in the 10th episode of the dashing mili
tary serial.
There isn't one weak act In the bill

to the finish they remain on the whirl
ing aeroplane, and give their best in
a trapeze act. and at the same time
demonstrate their talents as contor
tionists. Happy again is the audience with
Ella Hall and Myron Beck. They are
a pair of ingenious merrymakers, who
sing well and Intersperse their act with
excellent comedy. Singing In the audi

Another good act Is that of the Four
Harmony Kings, singers with good
voices and a clever act.
