TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAX, MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1911 SUNBEAFflSOFTRUTH TYPICAL GROUP- OF BOYS AND GIRLS v-0 CELEBRATED "CHILDREN'S DAY." f 1 IE IF! CHURCHES SHIN Gladne,ss Reigns Supreme When Children's Day Is Celebrated. TOTS TOLD TO SLAY LIONS Tr. Boyd's Sermon to Little Ones Outlines Way to Life or Happiness. First Methodist Church Services Devoted to Children's Exercises. Yesterday gladness reigned irapreme In all the churches that celebrated chil dren's day. "Brown Eyes" and "Curly Locks" and Golden Hair" and "Little Boy Blue." hundreds of them, were out In their best frocks and suits to participate in the programmes arranged for the great day. The tiny girls nearly all wore white, with big pink or blue hair bows -top their heads, and the boys were right smart In new suits, with laces wreathed in smiles, or in some cases looking bashful and self-conscious as the lads recited and sang, but In all cases manly, every mother's son of them. The largest attendance at any of the children's day exercises was in the First Presbyterian Church, where every seat In the big auditorium was taken, and many who came late could not find room. One of the important features was the graduation of a number of the pupils from one department to another and the bestowal of Bibles and medals upon those who had attended without omission of a single Sunday for one, two, three and four years. Dr. Boyd preached to the children from the same text that he used six years before, I Chronicles, xl:22, tell ing the story of Benalah, son of Je hoiada. a valiant man of ZabieeU who went into a dark pit on a snowy day and slew a lion. But If the children couldn't remember the man with the unspellable, unpronouncable name, they could get the message Dr. Boyd gave when he told them In simple, forceful language to slay the lions of bad temper, deceit, disobedience and the great mother lion. Selfishness, that, he declared, is to be found lurking In so many hearts. "If you want happiness for yourself." said Dr. Boyd, "you must hunt for it for someone else." James F. Ewlng, superintendent of the Sunday school, assisted In announ cing the numbers on the programme, and the orchestra and pipe organ played for the hymns and anthems. A feature of the programme was the ceremony of infant baptism. The en tire morning was given over to the lit tle people. The children occupied the middle two sections in the main body of the church and the galleries and Bide aisle seats downstairs were re served for the grown-ups of the con gregation. Children Track the Big Leuoa. In the First Methodist Church as In the First Presbyterian and others, it wasn't the pastor who did the big preaching. The most eloquent sermon came from the little ones as they re peated their verses and Bible stories and with faith and love shining In their eyes they looked out upon the world with all the optimism of childhood. Dr. Joshua Stansfield gave the children a helpful address and Charles A. Rice, superintendent, presided. The "Sun beam Band" and many other happy folk In special costumes made the pro gramme bright with color and sweet with music. Following was the pro gramme: "Novelette Indifference" (Rolfe), orches tra; prayer. Rev. Walter Lee Airheart; vio lin solo. "Faeterjenten's Sondag" (Ola Bull).

Rose City Park Methodist Church had an ideal children s programme. Ir. J Earl Else Is general superintendent of this live school which presented a cred itable entertainment, full of the joy of life and of worship. In St. David's Episcopal Church the children's choir'sang the service at the 9:30 o'clock eucharlst with reverence and sweetness. In Atkinson Memorial Congregational Church there was a children's pageant at the 11 o'clock service and In the evening James Brock way told about the Boy Scout movement. Dr. Warren Morse preached. Diplomas and seals were presented to the department graduates In the First Congregational Church. Dr. Dyott preached a sermon that was all love and tenderness and understanding of child life, and exercises of great beauty were held. And the sunbeams of faith, and youth and gladness shone In many other churches, and the influence of the child in the church, the community, the home . and the Nation was exemplified. It was a day of just pride for parents and Sunday school teachers and one of re joicing for the little folk who won the diplomas, medals and other honors that marked their graduation from begin ners' to primary departments and so on up to the seniors. EERMOX IS OF NATURE STUDY Children Led Through Fields to Searching of Own Hearts. In Atkinson Memorial Congrega tional Church, the Rev. Warren Morse preached a sermon that even the small est tot could understand. It was a na ture study and heart study. Into which was woven a moral and a message val " uable alike to young and old. The text, "Where Abidest Thou7 Come and Ye Shall See," was interpreted In a journey through Imaginary meadows and woodland dells. After telling of the habitations of the honey bees and the ants and about Mr. and Mrs. Crow and Mr. and Mrs. . Partridge and about the woodchuck ' family and the orioles, Rev. Mr. Morse - turned his attention to the kiddies - themselves, saying: Where do you live? Tou say on Couch street, on on Everett street? But what about your house there are rooms, stairs, halls, windows, stoves, furniture, water, gas and electricity. Do you live alone? "No," you say. "I live with father and mother, brother and sister." Then it is mors than a house, it Is a home. There is another house you live In your -' body. It has eye-windows to see the beau tiful things about you, ear-windows to hear mualo, the wind, the voices of friends. It 4 "tort - 1r 0' o mu&J?-Z'tMVL", uf-w -w ,t 8Vi . . - . - :l- -i'J J3 Is wired with nerves to let you know what is going on In different parts of your body. It has a great library, the brain, where you put things you want to think of and use again. Do you live alone In your body? No. The Bible says your body is a temple of God's spirit. THREE JOVS IX LIFE SEEX Rev. J. St. Skinner Xames Children, Flowers and Music as Uplifts. "Children, Flowers and Music" With these words as his inspiration. Rev. J. M. Skinner, pastor of Rose City Park Presbyterian Church, preached his sermon to the little frflk and the men and women who assembled In the church to celebrate the "day of days." Mr. Skinner emphasized the joy as well as the responsibilities of maintain ing a home. He said In part: "It is pleasing to pronounce those three words children, flowers and music together. They lift the mind out of the sordidness of business af fairs and help us to see the real joy of life. We love children because they can talk and laugh and sing. We love them because they are In a very real Rense the flowers and music of life. They strike the rhythmic measures of the soul's deeper self. We can rightfully develop all the best In us through contact with others In society, business, love; and we can retain the freshness of our childhood only by contact with children. The family, the love of wife and children. the responsibilities and sacrifices of maintaining a home, are the great agencies for humanizing men. The man who misses that is only half or quar ter of the man he was meant to be. Do you desire children with a desire that keeps you clean and sound that you may give them your best? Are you willing to take on whatever eco nomic burden may be necessary to their support and education and start in life? Then you are of the finest qualities of character. Children Inspire the best that Is in us." TWO CLASSES ARE GRADUATED Dr. Ward MacHenry Preaches on Christianity of All Service, That work Is worship and that the humblest tasks can oe done so well that they may be termed glorious was the message given to the boys and girls of Mount Tabor. Gay red popples, blue lupins and ma ple leaves decorated the Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church auditorium yes terday and bright little children gath ered to celebrate Children's day. Among the branches canaries were hidden and throughout the ceremonies they blend ed their warbling with the songs of the boys and girls. Two classes were graduated one from the beginners' department to the primary, one from the primary to the Junior department. Following this service Dr. Ward MacHenry spoke to the congregation from the text, "No man careth for my soul." He said: "Man is a souL He has a body and other faculties. Soul culture Is the supreme thing. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. You can't fence in religion. It must enter Into every rela tion of life. It Is just as much a Chris tian act to hoe in the garden to help feed the world as to pray or sing a hymn. Every thing In life must be done with a Christian spirit. "No business has the right to live which does not give service. Commerce is Christian. Every business man and every farmer Is answering the Lord's prayer by doing something useful for humanity." oW'.,,i1)H CHURCH MAY FIGHT 1 Metbodlnt Sandaj School Children at Flmt Churchy caoKht by the camera man after their programme. 3 Fancy coatnmes anarareBted the flowera of the woodland, and. patriotic features.

Democracy Declared to Be Only An other Name for Christianity and That It Is Fighting Battle of Moral Freedom. "A patriotic act done now Is a re ligious act." This statement, made yesterday by the Rev. E. Olln Eldridge, formed the dominating theme of his sermon In Mount Tabor Methodist Church. Dr. Eldridge made a strong plea for a church militant with banners planted on the firing line of every moral con flict. He said the world is now in the midst of a patriotic as well as a re ligious revival, and the church must do her part in the big work. Two texts were used by Dr. Eldridge "And he said 'nay,' but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come, and "Put on the whole armor of God. "In the midst of these texts," said Dr. Eldridge, "Christ is presented as a warrior with a drawn sword. So he is still, for in the Book of Revelation he Is represented as a warrior out of whose mouth proceeded a" sharp two- edged sword the sword of the spirit. flashing clear and keen, whether in promise or in threat Calls Christ Greatest Fighter. "Christ is the greatest fighter In the world. Paul, like his master, was the very Incarnation of the spirit of mili tancy. He was not a slacker nor a pacifist. Christianity is not a religion of mere passivity. Its emphasis is on the active militant side of life. "While on earth our Lord's life as well as his gospel was vibrant with energy and aggressiveness," declared the pastor. "His messages have all the surge and imperativeness of commands on the battlefield. The disciples were commis sioned to a life of hardship and endur ance. They were to go and do. and. if need be, die for the spread and estab lishment of his kingdom. Spirit of Christianity Is Broader. In urging the church to be up and doing. Dr. Eldridge said: "The world is calling for a church of leadership that will not shirk its duty, or be blind to the opportunities of the hour. Christianity has a vaster and broader spirit than 50 years ago. The world will Improve only as we sacri flee and bend our backs to the task. The chief need of the hour is a Na tional soul In sympathy with Christ and alive to his purposes. Democracy which is only another name for Chris tlanlty, is fighting the battle of world freedom- We are in the midst of a re vlval of patriotism. This is democ racjr"s hour, when win it must and win it will. "Out of the sacrifice and agony of the present world conflict will come the reign of the prince of peace.
