BT JOSEPH MACQXJEEN.' 1
ft was a dreary day, outside the
Eleventh-street Theater, yesterday. The
aky was somber, snow and rain took
turn about, and played hlde-and-seelc
with foot passengers but a great joy
tlrae was at hand.
Inside the theater a magic wand was
waved, and lo! the Portland Symphony
Orchestra gave one of the brightest con
certs in its entire career. The music
chosen fairly sparkled with warmth
of a blue sky, with singing birds, and
roses blooming on every bush.
M. Christensen was director, and he
handled the orchestra with sagacity
and good Judgment. He was master of
the music he helped to choose, and that
same music was generally so beautiful
that it evolved one loveliness after
another. It was a great day for the
man who likes plenty of tune, and also
the man who likes music easy to under
stand and favoring the popular rather
than the severely classical and tech
nically dry. The performance of or
chestral ensemble was highly credit
able to all concerned, and was even
and well balanced. Carl Denton was
concertmaster, and he was highly effi
cient. Country Wedding Depicted.
The masterpiece for dainty music on
the programme was the Goldmark
nymphony or suite "Symphony in E
flat major. No. 1, opus 26." and also
known as Goldmark's "Rustic Wed
ding." It is marked by strong origi
nality and quiet beauty. Curiously
enough, the opening theme is announced
on the bass viols, with subterranean
remarks. From apparently inconse
quent details, the suite grows gradu
ally In beauty until It attains fruition.
The peace associated with a quiet wed
ding in the country Is artistically re
flected. We get a glimpse of the vil
lage green, where browse the sleepy,
well-fed cows; the wedding procession,
maybe; the solemn scene at the little
altar in the ivy-clad church, where two
souls are as one, and the merry wed
ding bells. We could almost Imagine
the inevitable salutation in Goldmark's
age: "Your health, lady. May your
new life be a happy one."
It Is surprising how little WagneiVs
overture to "Hlenzl" is known. It is
dramatic and stirring to a high degree.
It has plenty of body, and an artistic
use of brass, cymbals and drums. The
orchestral picture Is so opulent, so
grand, that it would compel notice
even in a longer programme.
Audience Show Approval.
The Massenet "Sous les TUleuls," from
"Suite Scenes Alsaclennes," is a fairy
like, dainty bit of French music, in
Massenet's best style. A duet for 'cello
and clarinet, and splendidly played by
Charles Duncan Raff and R. L. Norris,
is so finely presented that it was en
thusiastically encored, and Mr. Raff and
Mr. Norris had to bow their acknowl
edgments. They played in perfect sym
pathy. Boustet's "Dream After the Ball" is
well and deservedly known, and was
pleasant to hear once more. I is a
pretty study in pizzicato or "plucked
string" effect, principally for the first
violins.
The Lisst's "Les Preludes" is also
well known. I tls played soften by
military bands. It was stirringly played
yesterday.
The audience was next to being a
capacity one, and was quite apprecia
tive of the fine music treat enjoyed.
Waldemar Llnd will direct the next
concert of the symphony series March
25, when the principal selection on the
programme will be "Symphony in C
Minor," composed by Francis Rlchter,
of this city:

ordinary man's attributes, but must
have also convictions, knowledge that
comes with experience and temperance
or self control.
"A man must also have a conscience,"
he said, "and a knowledge of right and
wrong and real Christian convictions
before ha can be complete. I like to
speak of knowledge, not Just as being
learned but as being acquired by hard
knocks and experience by real life
and feeling.
"There is also in the complete man
great patience. He knows that tem
perance means self control and he has
the patience to discipline and control
himself. It is not only the starting
of self control, but a man must keep
on and on.
"Then after a man is reaching for
completeness, he becomes more God
like, and he reaches the mountain
summit love. He then feels a love for
his fellow beings. He strives to help
others and be of service. Such is the
life of a complete man."
"Abundant entrance shall be given
you into the kingdom of the Lord Je
sus Christ," was the text.
Rev. Mr. MacHenry spoke of the
abundant entrance as being like the
arrival of a great ship sailing proudly
into the harbor, laden with passengers,
a uniformed crew and band playing.
"But," he said, "there is another ship,
storm-swept, her masts broken and
most of her crew gone. As she enters
the harbor, she strikes in the sands
and has to be pulled in. That, too, is
an entrance."

Dean McCollister Discusses Message
of Jesus Clirlst.
"Self Denial." the first of a series of
Lenten addresses, by Dean McCollister.
at St. Stephen's Episcopal Pro-Cathedral,
was given yesterday morning.
Next Sunday the theme wili be "Mod
ern Christianity and Faith."
"Christianity." he said, "Is a religion
which unmistakably teaches self-denial,
abnegation and renunciation. Jesus
said many things along this line which
have given rise to the principles of
Christian asceticism. But there are sev
eral grounds on which asceticism is at
tacked. One line of argument is this:
Men say that the tirrfes of Jesus were
different from ours; that today life and
its duties and problems are involved
In complexities undreamed of by him;
and that the consequent strain of life
today Is so much greater physically,
mentally, morally and spiritually that
it Is to be doubted whether Jesus, if
living on earth today, would not have
cast his religion in different terms.
"The answer to this is twofold. In
the first place it assumes that Jesus as
a man spoke merely out of his own
judgment for his own times, and
Ignores the fact that as Son of God he
knew what was good for all times and
declared it on his authority as Son of
God. In the second place it la an argu
ment which is based on the merest as
sumption of what Jesus would have
said had he lived here today, and is
an assumption not backed up by the
practices of his own ea-rihly life."
'TEMPTATION'
IS DISCUSSED
Plea Made for Upright Ilfe by Rev.
S. Earl DuBois.
"Temptation," especially in the forms
in which it Is apt to assail young peo
ple, was discussed by Rev. 8. Earl
DuB.ois, pastor of the United Presby
terian Church of the Strangers, who
Is preaching a series of sermons on
"Life."
"As far as T. can see," said Rev. Mr.
DuBois, "the old expression. 'Life of
Temptation.' is a pretty good descrip
tion of life in general. We are beset
with temptations from early childhood
until the end.
"Many young people," he declared,
"prefer greatness to goodness; riches
to right; popularity to purity, and to
shirk rather than work.
"My advice to young people is to
know temptation, study its source, see
the effect of sin on Its victims, and see
what the Bible has to say of tempta
tion. Christ met all temptations, and
when we are In Christ we also can be
victorious. Jesus often removes temp
tation from our paths. He often gives
us grace to resist t, and at other times
shows us the danger of it, and the
horror of sin.
"Have you seen men thirsting for
riches, giving up even their lives to get
them, and then never enjoying life or
getting any good from their wealth?
They preferred riches to right.
"Politicians often demonstrate the
preference of popularity to purity.
Young people skirt the edge of purity
to attain popularity, and ofteil even

The undoubted sincerity of our leading peace advocates does not prevent some keen
editorial observers from pointing out that many of their activities in the present crisis
play directly into Germany hands. This view gets strong support from a United Press
correspondent with Ambassador Gerard, who cables from Paris that the "German-financed"
peace-propaganda in America is regarded with suspicion by American officials on the other
side as "a play for time that will enable Germany to make such disposition of her subma
rines as will enable her best to strike at America in case of war."
The New York Tribune adds "it is no mere accident that pro-German propaganda every
where outside the Fatherland has made common cause with doctrinaire pacifism." And
it quotes "a high Federal official" as saying that "most of the peace-propagandists are pro
German," and that large German funds in this country are at the service of the pacifists.
On the other hand, some of the best-known advocates of peace are highly patriotic in
their attitude, Henry Ford, notably, offering to put his great plant and organization at the
service of the United States in the event of war. Charles Edward Russell, a leader among
American Socialists, declares that "I am not yet convinced that it is impossible for one to be
a Socialist, and at the same time be an American; but if it is, I am an American."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 24th, the leading article cover the activities
of the peace-propagandists in America and shows by quotations from leading American
newspapers, all the facts from various angles.

The aviation corps has now become one of the
most important arms of military service in the
European forces engaged in the war, and for this
reason, that owing to his ability to fly to a great
height and command a view of the operations of
both friend and foe in their entirety, the airman is
enabled to form judgments and to obtain informa
tion relative to the progress of events in a manner
impossible to the commander in the field so far
beneath him. THE LITERARY DIGEST takes
just such a birdseye view of world events- and
by reason of its very aloofness from partisanship
and its policy of presenting all sides of all great
issues, it enables you to form judgments on what
is going on about you that are dependable, some
thing that would be out of the question if you
read but one side of each great public question.
If you wish to think and act independently and
upon the real facts, read TIIE LITERARY
