WAR SERMON TOPIC
IN MANY " PULPITS
Rev. E. Percy Lawrence Criti
cises Peace-at-Any-Price
Citizens of America.
OTHERS TALK IN SAME VEIN
Dr. -Calvin B. Waller Points to Dn
ties of Soldiers and Says Best
Type of Christian Is in Need
of Similar Qualifications.
"It looks Ike war," said Dr. Calvin
B. Waller, pastor of the White Tem
ple yesterday, morning and at the
same Instant scores of other Portland
ministers were savins similar thine-.
War sounded from the pulpits and
preachers fortified their congregations
with patriotic sermons, and pleaded for
loyalty and bravery. Rev. E. Percy
Lawrence from the pulpit of the Ken
llworth Presbyterian, said "The coun
try is passing throurh Its Gethaeraana.
It may be that for peace God wants It
to fight."
Almost all ' the ministers who
preached patriotic sermons said that
vrar was most certain. They spoke of
prophecies and of the need of rood
loyal citizens, men for the Army, ef
ficiency, equipment and most of all
"God-fearing." ,
Preachers are "raising their sons to
te soldiers" he 4ald and expressed
scorn Tor lovers of the sons, I Dldn $
liaise My Son to Be a Soldier."
Phopheeles Foisted Oat.
We are virtually at war with Ger
many." said Dr. Waller. "The heart of
the Nation has been lifted to , God in
pratltude that we have been kept out
of the terrible International conflict
this long. While we had hoped for
peace, all sincere students of the scrip
tures are not surprised that our Na
tion Is surely being drawn Into this In
ternational clash of arms.
"Is this the ArmetreddonT I think
not! Read the prophecies of Daniel
and the teachings of Jesus Christ nd
you will be forced to conclude that
world-wide war cloud' is overhang
ing us. The pacifists hope is genuine,
but vain, as Jesus said: They cry
peace, when there is no peace. '
According to Dr. Waller, "war It
hell "
"In times of peace," said Dr. Waller,
"the annual war budget of the so
called civilized world was $2,500,000,-
000. but 16.600,000 able-bodied men
have been taken from the productive
pursuits of life to fill up the ranks of
the world's armies and navies. In eight
years the military expenditures of
the United States alone have Increased
$1,072,000,000. This enormous expendi
ture for war In times of peace Is three
times the cost of the Panama CanaL
And what of the cost of the European
Tvar at the rate of $5,000,000 a day for
Germany aloneT What the toll of hu
man lives?
"But if war is to come, we want our
soldiers to be the best soldiers on
earth. Then what are the qualifica
tions for a good sottder? Discipline or
training; equipment and heroism.
"Hen cannot fight with broomsticks;
we must equip them well. The suffer
ing of hardships is one of the ways of
making a good soldier. Heroism
means bravery against cowardice. The
world hates a coward and worships a
hero. Lord deliver us from a spiritual
coward. There Is, moreover, no higher
mark of a good soldier than loyalty, to
his commander and flag and land."
PASTOR HITS AT SLACKERS
Rev. II. T. Cash Says True Ameri
cans Will Rally to Flag.
"No doubt there are still some sing
ing "I Didn't Raise My Son to Be a
Soldier,' " said Rev. H. T. Cash, pastor
of the Grace Montavlila Baptist Church,
in his sermon on "Deserting the Flag.''
"I am raising my sons to be soldiers
If it comes to resisting the 'menace of
'German frightf ulness' and preserving
the lives and liberty of our people,"
lie said.
Rev. Mr. Cash's sermon was Inspired
by a recent cartoon by "TIge" Reynolds
In The Oregonian. "The type of a
man." he said, "who says 'granddad was
a fool' comes In the category of fools.
There are some among us who care
more for the comforts of peace than
righteousness, who seem to have no
care for the fundamental principles of
American liberty. They are not the
true sons of our fathers, nor are we
If we do not rise up to defend what
they so dearly won for us, and when
the hour strikes if we do not fling
aside all thoughts of cowardice. The
women so far haVe proved themselves
braver than the men.
"Paul was deserted in the thick f
bis nght by a friend on whom he had
depended. Just when he was to be tried
before Nero. The friend said 'Let Paul
do it.' There are too many such.
"Men desert either because of the
love of the world and ease and. luxury,
or because they never were truly won.
Indifference of the mind is less than
the Indifference of the heart. Let us
have the heart true."
CHURCH'S AILMENT DISCUSSED
Indifference of Professing Chris
tians Criticised.
"What Is the Matter With the Church?"
was the topic of a stirring revlvallstic
eerraon yesterday morning by Rev.
Harold H. Grlffls. pastor of the First
cnristlan Church.
"The question is raised in, many
quarters." he said. "What is the matter
with the church? v
"The religious statistics for last year
Indicate that the church of America
made a gain In membership of little
more than 1 per cent. Where does the
trouble lie? At least two answers have
been proposed. One is that the trouble
lies In the church itself, that the church
Is unattractive; the preaching is poor,
the music Is wretched, and the mem
bers are cold and stiff. What is needed
is an overhauling of the whole outfit.
Let the church make but an attractive
programme and the people will flock
to Its worship. Who said so? Certainly
no writer of the New Testament ever
said It. The supposition that men are
hungering for the gospel when properly
preached or properly sung Is not so,
and it never has been so.
"Another answer to our question is
that the trouble lies not with the
church at all. but with the world.
"The fact is the cause of the slow
progress of Christianity in our day lief
not In the unattractlveness of the
church or in the materialism of the
world, but in the laziness and sluggish
ness and indifference of professed
Christians."
'COUNTRY IS IS GETHSEMANE"
Rev. E. Percy Lewis Sees God's
. Hand In Decision.
"The United States Is In Gethsemane.
tincertain as to whether she will enter
the world war or whether she will do
better for humanity at large by staying-
out." said Rev. E. , Percy Lewis,
pastor of the Kenllworth Presbyterian
Church,- who spoke yesterday morning
on "Gethsemane. or the Battle of the
W 111.
"Drops of blood," he added, "must
be shed before the flowers bloom In
ioa s garden. The appeal for men of
joq is strong, no matter which way
the crisis turns. Whichever it is, God's
will be done. It may be that he de
sires this war for the great fruits of
a. lasting peace which shall follow."
AMERICA IS URGED TO ACT
Welding of Modern International
ism After War Declared Dnty.
-America, the neighbor of ell the
nations of the earth; the parable of the
good Samaritan, the Magna Cbarta of
the new internationalism." .
This was the summing ut of the ser
mon of Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor
oi me Westminster Presbyterian
Church, who preached yesterday morn
ing to an Immense congregation. His
text was "Who Is My Neighbor?" Hli
theme was the story of the good sa
marltan as applied to the affairs of
the day.
"In the tears of pitv. frontier lines
aissoive." said the speaker, and he pic
tured the wounded Jew to typify Ger
many, and America, the Samaritan.
wnose outy it would be to brine to all
the world true nelehborllness
suppose it be that Germanv. who
chooses to be our foe, lies tomorrow
broken, maimed and bleeding," said Dr.
P.nno "ehall . 1 . i . . . , .

here Is no superior execntlv. au

He made reference to the "In trta-ue
perfidy and dishonor" that had been
the "common measures and resorts of
successful diplomats."
But It remained for John Tlnv " TVr

the 20th century to apply the Golden

PRATER FOR. FAITH IS URGED
Rev. F. Scott Prescribes Religions
Patriotism and Fervor.
"n the present crisis let na nrav.
dearly beloved." said Rev. F. T. Scott,
at the First Unlversallst Church, "that
the country keeps the faith. With that
remembrance and that might makes
right, if we keep a religious patriotism
and fervor we cannot falL"
"Watchman, what of the night?" was
his text, and he took up the matter of
personal religion In a time of trouble,
saying that "a time of sorrow and
stress was the greatest test of faith."
"It Is because the men and women
of the world have to go up against the
rough edges t-nd meet and bear things
which no human power can cope with
that we have need of religion, not as a
matter of creed. Wit a matter of life.
Not as a theory, but as a practical help.
Often the most suffering have the
clearest faith.
"The most down-trodden nations of
the earth have been those which held
the faith triumphant.
"Israel, in the depths of her mtserv.
produced the greatest living literature
of the Bible. Israel kept the faith. The
tune of stress, brethren. Is the time for
us ana the Nation to show our faith.1
RENTAL DEMAND BRISK
REALTY AGEXTS REPORT ARRIVAL.
OB" BLANY NEW FAMILIES.
Modern Booses Are Wanted Most De-
'velopment of Shipbuilding; In
dustry Glvea As Cause.
Desirable houses are becoming scarce
in Portland.
Rental agencies report an Increasing
demand for homes, large and small. In
nearly all parts of town.
Scores of new families are moving In.
They are filling up the anartraent-
ouses and suburban dwellings.
Rents have not advanced, but are
holding firm at the old scale. In fact.
no advance is expected this year, as a
large number of old houses remain
vacant.
Bungalows and other houses with
modern conveniences are most In de
mand. In some parts of town It Is Im
possible to get good houses.
Old buildings without modern facili
ties are empty and probably will re
main empty until the last.
Several important factors contribute
to the present steady demand for
homes. Principal among them are the
new shipbuilding plants. Thousands of
men are employed at these places and
they hitve brought many new families
Into Portland. Many more new families
will come In as the season advances. ..
Real estate men don't look for a
building boom, though. In consequenct
of the present demand. They expeo
the normal volume of home-building
operations this year, but no more; un
less an unexpected industrial boom sets
in.
The present demand for houses is
most noticeable in those districts Im
mediately adjacent to the new ship
yards, but is spreading Into every de
sirable residence community

CHURCH PLEA MADE
Young Lutherans Are Urged to
Uphold Doctrine.
ANNIVERSARY IS OBSERVED
Denomination's 400th Birthday Is
Celebrated, by Federation ot
Leagues With Many Promi
nent Persons Present.
A call for the young people of the
Lutheran Church was sounded last
night in the address of Dr. W. E.
Brlnkman. pastor of St. James Church,
who was one of the principal speakers
in the programme arranged by the
Federation of Luther Leagues and the
Young People's Societies to celebrate
the 400th anniversary 'of the Lutheran
Church and to pay honor to the mem
ory of Martin Luther, the great inspira
tion of the Reformation. The meet
ings ware held ln Lincoln High School.
Music by the various choirs and solo
ists formed an important feature of
the big celebration. Several out-of-town
speakers assisted in the cere
monies. "Thousands of Lutherans have come
from Germany and Scandinavian coun
tries." said Dr. Brlnkman. "and thou
sands more will come, and we rejoice
to k'now that our church meets .their
needs and so holds them loyal to the
faith of their fathers. But It is not
UDon these alone that the church de
pends. It Is the hundreds of thousands
of Lutherans ln this country of the sec
ond. third and fourth generation who
must be held to our church. The quel
tlon that confronts us tbday Is: 'Can
the Lutheran Church feel assured of
the loyalty of her young people r
Early Lutherans Recalled.
Dr. Brlnkman urged the young men
and women to be loyal to their church
because of Its history, which recalls
to remembrance Morburer Wlttenbersr.
Augsburg. Speyer and the Diet' of
Worms. This last, he said, was sue
cessful tn "the spreading abroad of
the evangelical doctrines of faith, that
the Evangelical Lutheran Church has
always and does teach and rest he
faith upon the pure and unchanging
word of God.
Dr. William Pettersen presided at
the meetings. Two speakers of promt
nonce during the afternoon session
were Rev.' J. P. Pfueger, of Seattle, and
Rev. O. J. Ordal. of Tacoma.
Campaign ef Education In On.
Dr. Pettersen announced that the
celebration of the 400th anniversary
was but the beginning of a great cam
paign of education and missionary work
to be begun by the Lutherans.
Dr. Pflueger urged a returning to
the faith of the fathers. He declared
that the plain doctrine of the Scrip
tures is that of the Lutherans. He
declared that Lutheranlsm bad always
been constructive.
A fine feature of the afternoon was
the singing of tha - Norwegian male
chorus, directed by Charles Swenson
with Mrs. Knot Roald as soloist. Others
who contributed to the music festival
were: Miss Maori Egbert, St. Paul's
choir. G. Haehlen, director; Miss Helen
Fromme. Miss Haehlen, Mrs. Alden
Anderson, Mrs, J. H. Johnson. Albert
Haehlen. Jack Zeller, Miss Lillian
Swanson, Mrs. Hilda Llndborg Mrs.
Helma Greene, Miss Tolvla Carlson
Miss Delia Greene and the united
choirs of all the Lutheran churches of
the city.
Among the pastors who assisted In
the programme were: Rev. George Ilea-
dricksen. Rev, F. Eppllng, Rev. A.
Krause.

Seattle Jobbers Consider Effects on
Domestic Market.
SEATTLE, March 25. Jobbers fear
the effects of Japanese potatoes, 1000
sacks of which will go on this market
next week. This Is the first shipment
of potatoes ever received from Japan
and the quality Is yet to be tried out.
It Is reported from authentic sources
that there U a surplus of 1000 tons,
which Importers are ready; to market
on Pugret Sound as soon as permits can
be secured from the Government. Open
Ing prices are conjectural, but It is
said that stock can be sold at a profit
of 50 a ton.
This is the pivotal question, as It
Is conceded that they must undersell
both Takima and Puget Sound pota
toes In order to affect this market.
