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. -

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.

Objections of the Multnomah Ama

against the paving at this time of Mor

The Portland Railway, Light & Pow

necessary to construct tracks In the
street when they would be of no use,

ground that the club cannot see its
