THE 3IORXIXG OREGONTAN. THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1917. 13 20 TEAMS TO COMB CITY FOR RED CROSS Chairman V. B. Ayer Begins ' Task of Assembling Teams to Seek for Funds. 200 CANVASSERS NEEDED State Delegates, Who Attended Con ference In Portland Monday, Return to Home Towns to Press Campaign. Jfneral Chairman W. B. Ayer, of the Red Cross campaign committees, yes terday morning' took charge of the field work of Portland's big $200,000 drive and from now until the end of Red Cross week, June 18-25. will devote his entire time to" the work of raising Portland's share of the $100,000,000 called for by President Wilson for this branch of the war work. Mr. Ayer's first task is to assemble his organization of "teams" for the systematic canvassing of the city. As a result of Monday's conference with the visiting war council delegation, the local campaign committee decided to double the number of teams at first planned and to organize '20 Instead of ten teams, each working under a cap tain. Under this plan 200 men will be needed and these are to be drawn from Portland's most prominent busi ness men, able citizens and financiers. I.lata Bring: Prepared. "Mr. Ayer is now working on his list," Bald Manager R. H. Strong, of the ex ecutive committee, last night, "and is making splendid progress. More than half of the men he has asked to abandon their business and give up their time and energies to this patriotic work have responded to the call. By noon tomorrow he hopes to have his list complete and he will then im mediately call a meeting of these workers, for the purpose of organizing the 20 teams for the mammoth drive. "Meanwhile, we have a big clerical force at work making up lists to be canvassed, from the city directory, club rosters, etc., and otherwise preparing material for the systematlo combing of all Portland. We do not want to overlook a single man, woman or child In presenting this opportunity for patriotic service." Already Red Cross campaign head Quarters, on the second floor of the Morgan building, presents a very in dustrious appearance. Scores of type writers and desks have been moved in and stenographers are preparing lists and doing other work under the direction, of the field workers. In a separate department, Ia O. Kichols, state field manager. Is or ganizing his forces, with a big corps of workers. Whole State Begins Task. "Reports are already coming In from different parts of the state," said Mr. Nichols in an interview, "the delegates who attended Monday's conference in Portland have gone back home and got right to work, organizing their teams and following out the same plan as has been adopted for Portland. JJvery city and town in Oregon will be organized In this Identical way and all will make the big drive together, sending in dally reports to our state headquarters here in Portland. We are looking for big results from the splendid spirit of enthusiastic co-operation that is being shown." An eight-page inspirational bulletin, of which from 75,000 to 100,000 copies are to be printed, has been prepared and this bulletin will be placed in ' the hands of every Red Cross worker in the state. It contains full Informa tion about the methods and needs of the Red Cross, its relation to the Gov ernment and its important place in the war work. Another three-page bulletin, covering all details of the National war council plan of organization, will be sent to every unit working under the state field manager. - DEAF SCHOOL IS VISITED Portland Students Entertained at Washington Institution.

On sale Thursday at .Sunday School Lesson BY REV. J.3.KIRTL.rV. D D. John xlx:16-30s Jeaun Crucified. BY REV. J. S. KIRTLET, D. D. CONNECTION. After three stages of the ecclesias tical trial of Jesus, during- which the charges were framed as threefold, sedition, treason and blasphemy, there came three stages of the civil trial before Pilate, then Herod and finally before Pilate again. Pilate was very anxious to release Jesus because he knew he didn't deserve It; knew that the Jews were doing It In blind rage. He sentenced him to death though he knew him to be Innocent; was anxious to disappoint his enemies, the Jews; was warned by his wife against it, and had already inflicted on him severe torture by scourging with the hope that It would satisfy the thirst of Christ's enemies for blood. He made effort after effort to release him, and did every thing but one. His deepest desire and strongest purpose was to hold on to his position. At last the issue was clear. If he released Jesus, the Jews, who hated him anyhow, would report at Rome that he had favored a man who claimed to be a king, and there fore a rival of Caesar. Pilate had to impose the sentence or run too great a risk. THE LESSON. 1. The Crucifixion. 16-22. "Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified. They took Jesus therefore; and he went out, bear ing the cross for himself, unto the place called in Hebrew Golgotha, where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either- side one. and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and put It on the cross. And there was written. Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. This title there fore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and" in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, write not 'The King of the Jews,' but that he said, "I am King of the Jews."' Pilate answered: "What I have written I have written.' 1. Sentence. It was not simply that he consented, but Imposed the sentence on Jesus. The Roman law required that. He had told them to take Jesus and do with him all that their law permitted, for they couldn't Impose the death sentence without the action of Rome. Crucifixion was a Roman meth od of execution, used mainly in the case of slaves and criminals. Plilate preferred that method in order to in dicate that the King of the Jews was no better than a slave. 2. Place. John gives very few de tails, says nothing about the mistreat ment by the soldiers as they started for Calvary, gives no Incidents of the march to the place, of laying the cross on Simon of Cyrene. of the remarks of the women as they passed along, of the offer of a stupefying draft prepared by the kind-hearted women, which Jesus refused to drink. The place Is now generally thought to be north of the city reached through the Damascus gate. On the escarpment of the hill Is a huge outline of a skull and it was called by that name, Golgotha being the Hebrew and Calvarium being the Latin for that word. John didn't seem to notice all these things, but he saw deep into the soul of his suffering Master, saw his sorrow at being con sidered a criminal when he had the chaste consciousness of being incapable of any sort of wrongdoing, sorrow at being associated with criminals and being the object of coarse and scorn ful jests. 3. Revenge. Pilate was weak enough to bend to their will and he was also weak enough to try to pay them back In two ways, by putting their King between two robbers and by advertis ing It. so that thousands would read it on the transverse piece of the cross and in all the three great languages of that world, that this man who dies a criminal's death was King of this nation, and thus the nation is humiliat ed. If their King is worthy of such dishonor, what must the people be? And when they felt the keen sarcasm and went to him to say, "write. 'He said he was King of the Jews,' " Pilate exhibited the firmness of the weakling In keeping It there. With some show of power he has his way about a little point, though yielding his honor and his will to them on the essential mat ter. But it was a proclamation to all the world that It reads to this day, for Jesus is King In Hebrew, the language of worship; In Greek, the language of culture; in Latin, the language of pow er. Thank God for that. n. Groups Around the Cross. "These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, ' and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he salth unto his mother. Woman, behold thy son! Then salth he to the disciple, BehoTd, thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home." 1. Antipathy. I follow Stalker's characterization of the three groups. No more, brutal group ever took pleas ure in the sufferings of its victim than the big officials who were evidently there through It all. Tet there was a lingering fear that one who had done such wonderful deeds and who acted In so extraordinary way during the ar rest and trial and crucifixion might surprise them with something else equally unusual. 8. Apathy. The four Insensate sol diers treated him as if he had been a dog. The unwritten law gave them the belongings of the victims as per quisites and they had much pleasure in dividing the garments of Jesus and oasting lots for the seamless robe. Their brutality shocks us, for they took off their garments and left the three men naked on the croBS. The shame, sorrow and desolation of Jesus they were not capable of appreciat ing' that. 3. Sympathy. A group of friends were there. Jesds was perhaps not more than a foot from the ground and easily saw them. Four women of them we know his mother, her sister, who was evidently Salome, the mother of James and John, Mary Magdalene and Mary, wife of Clopas. who was the mother of James the Less, and of Jesse and one man, John. Toward the first and second groups he felt infinite pity and no resentment; toward the third group Intense love and pleasure. He showed his deep sympathy by aBking his mother to be a mother to his true disciple John, and by committing her to John's care. We can never forget that act of love in the midst of suf ferings such as no other human being ever underwent. lit The End. 2S-30. "After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the Scrip ture might be accomplished, saith. I thirst. There was set there a vessel full of vinegar; so they put a sponge full of vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said. It Is finished; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." 1. Sayings. Of the seven sayings on the cross John gives us but three. The last Indicates Jesus' calm mind, with sufferings over, work finished and Scriptures fulfilled. He gave up his life. He felt no longer forsaken of God. , 2. Incidents. It was fitting that nature should be convulsed and that a tremendous impression should be made on the centurion and on all. Two secret disciples were brought out into the open, Joseph of Arimathea, who furnished a tomb for the body, and Nicodemus, who aided in the burial. He who had power to lay down his life would take it up again and he was already fulfilling his promise to draw all men toward him. A physician of note says that the long fastings had Impaired the muscles of the heart, which made death Come quicker, and others say that the 'heart broke, as shown by the fact that water came forth when the spear pierced it. WHAT THB MASTERS SAT. Death by crucifixion seems to In clude all that pain and death can have of the horrible and ghastly dizziness, cramp, thirst, starvation, sleeplessness, publicity of shame, long continuance of torment, horror of anticipation, morti fication of untended wounds all in tensified Just up to the point at which they can be endured at all but all stopping Just short of the point which would give to the sufferer the relief of unconsciousness. Farrar. - Looking on that face we see the shades of a deeper woe than smarting wounds and raging thirst, and racking frame! the woe of slighted love, of a heart-longing for fellowship, but over whelmed with hatred;, the woe of In sult and wrong and of unspeakable sorrow for the fate of those who would not be saved. Nor Is even this the deepest shadow. There was then In the heart of the redeemer a woe to which no human words are adequate. He was dying for the sin of the world. He had taken on himself the guilt of mankind and was now engaged In the final struggle to put It away and an nihilate it. Stalker. PERTINENT QUESTIONS. 1. Why and how was Jesus a friend to his foes? 2. What has been the significance of thatthreefold inscription? 8. What is the virtue of suffering wrongfully? 4. How does Christ's courage in death give us courage in life? 6. What are the unfinished suffer ings spoken of in Col. 1:24? GAR EFFICIENCY ASKED COMMERCIAL BUREAU APPEALS TO AMERICAN SHIPPERS. Loading; of Cars Nearer to Maximum - Capacity Held to Be Necessary to Relieve Shortage. A plea for a campaign on the part of business organizations throughout the country to help the Government cope with the car shortage, so that the Government may not be hampered in its movement of troops, has been is sued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at Washington. D. C, and a copy of the message was re ceived yesterday by the Portland Chamber of Commerce from E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau. "When our troops are actually in the field the demand for freightoara will be greatly increased, he says. "At the present time it Is far beyond that of any previous time in our his tory." The car service commission of the American Railway Association is working on the matter of co-ordinating the freight traffic resources of the country, but Dr. Pratt points out that it will need the co-operaion of all those who are interested. Attention is called to the fact that a large percentage of frelghtcars are sent out loaded only to the minimum capacity fixed in the tariffs of the carriers, although the maximum safe capacity of the car is in some cases twice this minimum, and it is pointed out that unless cars are loaded to the maximum and delays obviated there will not be enough cars to go around, with resulting hardships to everyone. CLUJB 0BJECTST0 PAVING Opposed Also by Street Hallway, Upper Morrison Remains Macadam. Objections of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletlo Club and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company against the paving at this time of Mor rison street, between Chapman and Washington streets, caused the City Council yesterday to disoontlnue pro ceedings for the Improvement, by unan imous vote. The Portland Railway, Light & Pow er Company objected to the expenses necessary to construct tracks In the street when they would be of no use, while the athletlo club objected on the ground that the club cannot see its way clear, financially, to go ahead, owing to the large number of members who have gone Into military service.
