Dr. J. W. Brougher Presents to
White Temple Hearers Rev.
Russell M. Brougher.
FIRSTBORN GOING TO WAR
Each Speaks Lovingly of the Other
and Praises Good Qualities.
Hundreds Crowd About Pas
tors, Offering Well Wishes.
Vrom the pulpit where his distin
guished father once held forth as min
ister. Rev. Russell M. Brougher yes
terday preached, a sermon to a large
congregation, numbering among those
present many who first knew him as
a mere boy. The occasion was the
regular morning service In the First
Baptist Church, familiarly known as
the White Temple.
J. Whitcomb Brougher, D. D., noted
preacher and lecturer, former pastor
of the church and now minister of the
great Temple Baptist Church of Los
Angeles, the father, was present to
Introduce his son, who has but re
cently been ordained and who is to be
a chaplain In the Army during the
war, after which It is his Intention to
complete his education and then per
manently to enter the ministry.
Customs of Pulpit Defied.
Defying, as usual, the customs of
the pulpit as It once was, the father
wore an immaculate Ice cream suit,
while the son was attired In a black
business outfit.
Both occupied the rostrum through
out the service, and each lovingly
praised the other's good points. The
father admitted his great pride that
hi3 first-born son had become a
nreacher. oaylng Tie hoped he would
h "an" imDrovement over the first
edition."
"And." remarked Dr. Brougher, "I
guess the younger son, too, who used
to sit up there in the gallery and eat
peanuts as I preached here, will be the
third edition. I recently asked him
what he was going to make of himself,
and he replied he was going to be a
preacher and that, some day, I could
sit up in the gallery and eat peanuts
while he preached."
Dr. Brongber Is Taking Vacation.
Dr. Brougher said he 13 trying tt
take a vacation, but is scheduled to
give 49 lectures during 50 days' ab
sence from Los Angeles.
"I left Los Angeles for change and
rest," said Dr. Brougher. "and I find
that the porters get nearly all the
change and the hotels the rest. I al
ways like to come to Portland. It's
Just like getting to heaven there are
so many people here I never expected
to see. Now, of course, I am very
proud to introduce our boy to you
this morning. I never expected him
to be a preacher, hardly; he used to
be so quiet, took after his mother,
you see."
After recalling how very badly
frightened he was when he first
preached In a large, fashionable East
ern church. Dr. Brougher introduced
his son, saying, "He is rather new at
the business, but I guess he'll be able
to handle himself."
Loyal Son Praises Father.
"Father says he was very nervous
at his first preaching in a big church.
but I don t believe he was half as
'scared' as I am now," said the young
preacher, although he did not betray
nervousness, if any he really experi
enced. He thanked the "White Temple
people for the privilege of standing-
in hi3 father's former pulpit and said. I
"If I am ever able to be of half the
eervice lamer nas oeen, n win De a
erreat satisfnetlnn " I
And then he launched forth, preach-
lng an excellent sermon of scarcely I
more man zu minutes' length, based

Romans and Second Corinthians. He
showed that Paul, after his conversion,
was ambitious only to do the will of
God, and, by so conducting himself.
became the greatest preacher the world
has ever known.
At the close of the sermon hundreds
of men, women and children gathered
about Dr. Brougher and the son to
Ehake hands and wish ttera well.

Regular services are now being con

Watch Your Step
Plans Carefully Laid.
Our plans have been long consid
ered and safely
worked out in ad-
vance." Mr. Erlanger explained In good
natured and enthusiastic manner yes
terday. The rigors of competition have
left no mark of enmity to rivals on
him. "We have a theater in Seattle,
the Metropolitan, in our own right;
we have purchased a half Interest In
the Heilig in Portland, and by ar
I rangement with Charles W. York,
u,... of the Auditorium In Spokane.

I in the Heilig we now have more than
a million dollars represented in the-
I ater property in the Northwest north
I of San Francisco. That does not in-
I elude any of our Interests in California.
Every Big City Invaded.
"In the Middle West we are sim
ilarly accommodated and interested. In
the East our interests, of course, are
well known. In short, we are now
represented in every principal city of
the United States and Canada and
numberness smaller ones. Our link is
complete, and we want to broaden our
activities to entering the Pacific West
as a producing concern.
Here Mr. Erlanger plucked one of
his numerous epigrammatic side re
marks out of clear space.
"The greatest star that ever entered
a theater is the audience, and we wan
to help place the Western star in the
theatrical firmament like it was once
when this section of the country was
recognized as the best theatrical cen
ter of the country; when the public
was one of the 'livest,' most learned
of theatrical audiences and one of the
best. Do you remember that 'West
ward the star of empire, and so on
It's true.
Kew Plays to Be High-Class.
"The Klaw & Erlanger traveling
stock company of the Pacific Coast
will be a producing organization, pro
ducing only first-class standard play
and absolutely new ones. We propose
to give the clscerning and discrim
inatlng West new shows even before
New York and Chicago have them. Later
we can send them East. You can now
have the thrills of first nights. We
want to help and encourage Western
playwrights and help you to establish
your colonies of first-class actors and
actresses. There is a great distance
between New York and Portland In
miles, but under the new plan that
space can be eliminated.
"San Francisco, Los Angeles, Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma constitute
fine chain of cities to be the home of
a theatrical producing stock company.
Not one.sbut several we have ln mind
These cities will, under our plan, be
to the West then what Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago and New York are to
the East, so far as theatrical affairs
are concerned."
Good Casts Are Promised.
Mr. Erlanger can withhold a detail
of his plan with greater grace than
others can reveal one, and this he did
yesterday in withholding a few details,
as yet unflnlsned. in connection with
the new circuit and the traveling
companies.
"We should not tell who will be ln
these traveling stock companies until
all is assured," he smiled. "You will
be as pleased as I am when the casts
are settled."
Again characteristic of his "Little
Napoleon" tactics Mr. Erlanger dis
posed of possible opposition as fol
lows: "Wherever a manager of any attrac
tion or theater, no matter who controls
t. obstructs, we shall build in that citr.
And we shall build a theater wherever
occasion demands it. Personally, I
never started a tight in my life."
With a twinkle in his eye he leaned
over and confided:
And I never lost a fight in my life.
Here, let me knock on wood," and he
laughingly reached for the mahogany
chair at the Benson Hotel where he is
staying for a few days.
Shubert Attractions Booked.
Asked about other interests in the
theatrical business he resorted to his
epigrammatic resources:
There are lots of people in the show
business who are not show people; lots
of people on the stage who are not
actors.
Mr. Erlanger confirmed the recent
published report that arrangements
had been concluded in Now York to
book the Shubert attractions at the
Heilig in Portland for the next five
years at least.
On the general theatrical situation
Mr. Erlanger said it was good, and in
answer to the question whether the
plots of new plays were to get away
from the war, he answered seriously:
The war Is a tragedy: the theater
is an amusement business. Whatever
influence the former has on the latter
must always be a matter to let run its
course, do its good or serve its purpose,
all in the evolution of things.
Tbeater to Cheer Nation In War,
"Our business is to take the public's
mind off the weighty subjects of war
now and then, so that It may better
turn to the serious business of fighting
wnen it must. Like every other busi
ness, we have a way of helping in the
war. We hope we can do It to the ut
most advantage to the country and
with as little to do as possible."
Mr. Erlanger s career has been as In
terestmg as it has been successful. He
began his tbeater life as an usher when
he was 13 years old at Cleveland, going
to school In the daytime and ushering
at night. He was known as Abraham
Lincoln Erlanger then, and often now
his intimate friends call him by those
first names. He is full of the philoso
phy characteristic of his namesake.
Early in life he became identified
with Mark Hanna in the theatrical
business. and managed Mr. Hanna's
theater in Cleveland.
Democratic Manners Please.
Mr. Erlanger believes in being "ap
proachable" to office boy or banker
alike, and without discrimination. He
now practices this precept-himself in a
most democratic way. For years Mr,
Erlanger was associated with Al and
Alf Hayman, of Portland and San Fran
Cisco, ln the days when the Hayman
were interested in the old Marquam
Grand Theater in Portland. Uiater he
also became identified with the Froh
mans. While his theatrical business
has grown to major proportions, Mr
Erlanger has also kept his Identity in
other businesses, and is director ln on
of the New York banks and deposi
companies and a large New York realty
company.
Yesterday Mr. Erlanger and Mr
Heilig toured the Columbia River High
way in company with J. C. Ainsworth
president of the United States National
Bank.
While ln Portland Mr. Erlanger ex
pects to have several conferences with
California theatrical men and others
who are coming here to see him.
Mr. HeUIg's Trip Successful.
Mr. Heilig said last night that hi
trip to New York had been productiv
of all that he had gone there for.
The flicker is unmistakable, a wood
pecker, fancifully dressed In golden,
yellow, brown, black spots and cres
cent on breast; red on back and head.
Almost as large as a pigeon, it alights
on the ground and calls loudly.

OREGON CITY. Or., July 15. (Spe

the Chautauqua Chorus shared Chau
tauqua headline honors today, and
nearly 6000 Chautauquans fanned and
jammed inand about the old Auditor
ium to hear Dr. Brougher's great lec
ture, "What's Under Your Hat," and
the Chautauqua Chorus of 100 voices ln
Gaul's "Holy City." It was a record
crowd for Chautauqua.
Chautauqua folk gave a splendid
tribute to both headliners. Dr. Brough
er was at his best, and for nearly an
hour and a half he held the big audi
ence, in spite of the Intense heat, ln a
manner . ln which few Chautauqua
speakers are able to do. His talk was
a great plea for self-mastery, and the
ovation he received made the former
Portlander feel that his brief home
coming was appreciated by his many
admirers.
Cboras Sings Exceptionally Well.
Hartridge Whipp never sang' better
than before the big audience today, in

It was a busy day at Gladstone Park.

LIGHT, THE REVEA1ER, TOPIC
Scenes Not Removed, bnt Hidden by
Presence of 'Night.
Rev. E. Olin Eldridge, of the Mount
Tabor Methodist Episcopal Church
preached yesterday morning on "Christ,
the Vision That satisnes.
"For four thousand years the world
wanted a light," said Rev. Mr. Eldridge.
It once had this light, when tn Eden
God walked t.nd conversed with man
but that light, rejected by man, had de
parted, and the world was In spiritual
darkness. In the fullness of time Jesus
came, and declared, 'I am the light of
the world. Since then all who have
looked to him have not lacked for di
vine light.
"Without Christ's presence in the
soul all is eternal darkness. When his
light Is withdrawn, faith fails, hope
sickens, charity languishes, and the
atmosphere of the soul becomes deadly
and dank. Light Is a revealer.
"A man goes forth on a dark night
All about him is a beautiful landscape,
but he sees it not. Night hangs like a
veil over all its beauty. But the night
Is Dassing on to morning. The sun
appears above the eastern horizon, and
lo! what a world or Deauiy oursis upon
his vision. Mountains, valleys, rocks
and rivers, trees, flowers and clouds
all were there before, but light, the re
vealer, had not come."
DR. ELLA YOUNG FILLS PULPIT
"School and the Bible," Is Theme of
Chicago Educator.
Dr. Ella Flagg Young occupied the
pulpit of St. Stephen's Cathedral yes
terday morning, and dwelt briefly on
the subject of "The School and the
Bible."
In a clear and concise manner Dr.
Young pointed out the mistake of pa
rents and teachers in agitating the in-
troductlon of the Bible Into the public
schools of the country ln an effort to
restrict the pupils' religious tendencies
to one religion and one belief.
"Religion is one thing above all
others that should be wholly the
choice of the pupil and the pupil's pa
rents." said Dr. Young. "Let our chil
dren reason for themselves in this very
important subject."
Bishop Walter T. Sumner delivered
an interesting talk on "Democracy and
Religion," placing great stress on the
democracy and religion of the United
States. He drew convincing compari
sons between the United States, Rus
sia and Germany on this subject, point
ing out the highly educative and re
ligious assets of the people of this
country in comparison with that of the
two other nations.
Bishop Sumner pointed out that the
democratic ideals of this country would
do more toward the ending of the great
world Btrife than any other one thing.
He ended his sermon by saying:
"The churches of France and England
are filled to the doors today; the sol
diers of those two nations recognize
the power of one, wftose power is far
greater than that of man. Our own
country is not lacking in patriotism
but it is lacking in religion."
MIRACLES DECLARED NOT PAST
America Chosen Land, Just as Was
Canaan, Asserts Minister.
Grant K. Lewis, of Indianapolis, In
diana, secretary of the American Chris
tian Missionary Society, occupied the
pulpit of the First Christian Church
yesterday and delivered a stirring ser
mon on "The Religion of a Patriot.
Harold H. Griffis, D. D., the minister,
delivered the regular evening sermon.
In his talk yesterday morning Mr.
Lewis said: "Do you know what is the
failing of the average American today?
He believes in God, surely. But his is
a sort of canned Christianity; that is to
say, his belief is founded on what the
Bible' says that God has done ln the
dim past, and not on his observance of
what God is doing in the practical pres
ent.
"'The age of -miracles is past'? You
say that, you who are God's chosen peo
ple now, as the Israelites were in the
past? Once the Israelites under Joshua
marched seven times around the walls
of Jericho, and the walls fell. Let me
show you a parallel: Once the Ameri
cans under Dewey sailed Into a fortl
fled harbor, protected with enemy
ships, and captured the port without
the loss or injury of a single man.
"Again' I say, 'we are God's chosen
people.' The spirit of fairness is the very
backbone of this Nation. When the
Boxer rebellion was quelled the n
tions sat around a council fire to di
vide up poor old China among them. One
voice was raised in protest, and so
China maintained her national Integrity
Later, she paid a huge indemnity to
the United States. The money was
kept at Washington for several years,
the original seal of the package un
broken. And finally it was returned
and has become a fund to senc prom
ising young men of that country to the
United States to obtain a college educa
tion."
MORNING GIVES DAY'S KEY
Study of Christ's Life Makes Pres
ence Real, Says Pastor.
Rev. Warren Morse preached on
"Making a Connection With Christ" at
the Atkinson Memorial Church yester
day morning.
Rev. Mr. Morse said in part:
"The first waking moments of the day
are the key to the tone of the whole
day. As you start out on a wonderful
new day so are you likely to continue
until you lie down in weariness at
night. Therefore, make a good start.
"Reinforce the best things already
gained in character-making. The fra
grance of a flower recalls pleasant as
sociations in the past. The picture of a
true friend kindles your desire to emu
late his grit and courage.
"Make a psychological study of Jesus
until you discover his consciousness of
his own authority as a teacher, and his
own sense of his sufficiency for the
needs of man. Test out these ideas as
shown by the lives of men and you will
realize anew the greatness and suprem
acy of Jesus.
'Connection with Jesus must be as
vital as that of an electric motor with
its current. Nowise else will you get
spiritual power. You connect up with
friends by association, by photographs,
bv letters, by the testimony or other
friends. Whatever brings Christ into
the center of your living hours, be it
Bible, pictures testimony, is a wise
step."
PASTORATE IS CLOSED
REV.
C. E. LEWIS TO ENTER. LEC
TURE FIELD.
Displeasure Is Expressed at Large
Number of Societies in Present-Day
Communities.
With the declaration that he Is going
to lecture for a living and preach the
gospel free as a business and at the
same time predicting "that the churches
all over this country must assume their
real work and quit flirting with so
ciety, if they continue," the Rev. George
Edward Lewis, pastor of Highland
Congregational Church, closed his min
istry yesterday. He purposes to enter
upon what he considers a larger and
more 'useful- plane of activity, he ex
plained to those present.
Explaining that he does not regret
the 18 years he has spent ln the min
istry. he declared that he believed he
could accomplish more in the lecture
field, by which he expects to maintain
himself, wniie smi preacning tne gos
pel free of charge.
Another leature or cnurcn worn to
which he objects is that societies are
frequently so numerous in a community
that none can well exist. He believes
that in such cases all should unite and
make one flourishing church. Instead
of having so many struggling ones.
"I did more good preaching in the
wilds of Alaska last year than I have
the past year, where one is tongue-tied,
custom-bound and forced to follow for
mality," was a parting shot given by
him in his farewell message.
