PRIEST PREACHING
TO NON-CATHOLICS
Rev. James M. Gillis Holding
Week's Mission at St.
Mary's Cathedral.
LIST OF TOPICS ANNOUNCED
Eo-Called Irrationality of Religion
Discussed and Irrationality of
JIany Xoble Deeds In
Dally Life Are Cited.
To those who call religion irrational.
Illogical and unreasonable, Rev. James
21. Gillis. Catholic lecturer, directed
some pointed remarks last night in the
first of a series of aeren lectures for
non-Catholics to be given this week
' at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fifteenth and
Xavls streets.
Father Gillis deplored the theory that
cience Is the only means of arriving"
at .truth. He said tnai.y things if not
most things in daily life are irrational
yet they are in the highest and best
sense human.
"When men tell me that religion Is
Irrational." said Father Gillis. "I ask,
what do you mean by 'irrational? Tou
cannot mean inhuman, or non-human,
for the instinct of religion Is most un
doubtedly human. You must mean il
logical. But if even if that be true,
religion is not the only great force in
the world that is In that narrow
aense irrational, illogical, apparently
unreasonable.
"It is irrational for an able-bodied
young man standing on the deck of a
inking steamship to give the last
place In the lifeboat to an old woman
irrational but magnificent. It Is 'Ir
rational' for a fireman, perhaps a splen
did epecimen of physical development.
In the prime of life, to dash lnt a rag
ing hell and die in the attempt to save
a helpless cripple; perhaps the ration
alist would logically say a useless crip
ple. 'Irrational,' but noble In the ex
treme. Illustrations Are Givem,
"So of a thousand other things. The
patriot who dies a martyr's death on
the battlefield, while a gang of bood
lers are Jawing one another in the
Senate of his nation is 'irrational.' All
patriotism is irrational, if you believe
In the Socialists.
"A mother's love for a wayward,
scapegrace boy, a wife's patience with
a drunken husband, a missionary's
self-sacrifice amongst savages or lep
ers, a physician's ready willingness to
go to the bedside of a plague-stricken
patient, whose life he cannot possibly
save, or even prolong; the devotion of
nurses and young doctors who go to
China and fight the bubonic plague, or
to Africa to help the victims of the
sleeping sickness these and 10,000
other deeds that you may read of in
any page of the dally press, and a
countless multitude of others that
never achieve the publicity, or even a
line in the newspaper, they are all 'Ir
rational.' . . Life Matched Against Life.
"Tou could not sit down and calcu
late in cold blood the advantage of
saving a Chinese coolie or an African
savage at the cost of the life of a high
ly intelligent, noble-minded, superbly
gifted white man.
"But if you insist upon the narrow
meaning of the word 'rational,' logical,
and say that you would rather be logic
al than human, we Christians cannot
agree with you. Nay. the human race
cannot agree with you, but if you have
the human race against you, there is
a bare possibility that you may be
wrong."
Rev. Mr. Gillis will apeak tonight on
"Is One Religion as Good-as Another?'

RECITAL DRAWS CROWD
ORGANIST BECKER MAKES GOOD
IMPRESSION AT AUDITORIUM.
Performance JText Bnaday Afternoon
Will Be Clvea sy William R.
Boose.
A large and Interested crowd at the
Auditorium yesterday afternoon en
joyed the first of a series of pipe
organ recitals to ba given by different
organists of this city. Yesterday's
organist was Luclen E. Becker, of
Trinity Episcopal Church.
Owing ' to the warm . weather the
organ at first "acted up," some of Its
delicate mechanism sticking, and a soft
stop began to make its presence felt.
But the trouble was soon adjusted and
the recital procieded.
Mr. Becker displayed fine taste in
his selections, both classical and popu
lar. His opening number, rsulkos
"Concert Overture in D Major," was
played in brilliant style, and one move
ment of Widofs "Sixth Symphony"
evoked special admiration.
"The Music Box," a dainty, sparkling,
tinkling number, proved- so popular
that It had to be repeated. The -well-known
"Largo" from Handel's "Xerxes"
was impreeslve. Mr. Becker's own
composition, "Ritornello," a lively
number, was one of the gems of the
recital.
For a ' favorite melody, Mr. Becker
chose "Dear Little Home In the West,"
sung in this city so charmingly by
Alma Gluck. The audience was asked
to suggest a popular melody, for the
organ improvisation, and "Home, Sweet
Hor received the most votes. The
improvisation was skillful. Mr. Becker
was warmly applauded.
The organ recital at the Auditorium
next Sunday afternoon will be by
William R. Boone.
EIGHT HOURS ENOUGH
CHTJRCBTMAlf PLEADS COSffiRTA.
TIOS OF BCJiAX ENERGY.
War Brings Strain fop Worklngnuin
In Many Lines and far
Families as Well.
EUGENE, Or., Sept. 1 (Special.)
The adoption of the eight-hour day in
all industries where workmen are
under continuous strain was declared
essential for maximum production in
preparing the Nation for war in a
sermon delivered at the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church here today by
Dr. Harry F. Ward, an officer of the
General Conference of the Methodist
Church, of Boston, Mass.
Dr. Ward, who is secretary of the
Methodist Federation for Social Serv
ice, has been prominently identified
with the movement in America for a
closer relationship between labor and
the church.
"Those who at this time are trying
to secure industrial Justice are in the
Nation's first line of defense," he said.
"The eight-hour day Is necessary for
maximum production. That is not all.
It Is necessary for the maximum of
human life; that is what we want. If
a man works more than eight hours
he is away from his home and family
too much of the time."
Dr. Ward declared that If the war
should last but three months labor
might safely work long hours, but that
if the war should last one, two or
three years, overtime- would destroy
the Nation's productive capacity. Eng
land and France found it necessary,
after actually impairing production, to
restore a rational period of rest for all
workmen.
"Despite high wages, the children of
the working class in Eastern cities
have less food, less clothing and less
chance for health than they did before
the war," he asserted. "But the United
States has not yet felt the pain and
misery of the world which haa been
Increased by the war almost beyond
computation."
Railroad Surveyors Again at Work.
SILVERTON, Or., Sept. 1. Special.)
Surveyors have been here for a few

"WORRY" KIADE-TEXT
Rev. W. E. Brinkman Sees In
Fretting Only Folly.
CHRIST'S LESSON SHOWN
Trivialities of Daily Life, Preacher
Declares, Ethsnst Energies of
Many Christians, Unfitting
Them to Rise Spiritually.
Rev. W. E. Brinkman, in his sermon,
"The Folly of Worry and Daily Care,"
at the St. James Lutheran Church last
night, said that Christ shows to the
world of mankind the pagan principle
that asserte itself even In the lives of
many Christians. He said that it con
sists in the crowding of the Christian
life and purpose withtths worldly aims
and ambitions, cares and frets, thus
hampering the development of man's
spiritual nature, and thus fatally de
feating the highest Interests of the
soul.
"Christ teaches by this lesson that It
Is pagan to subordinate the heavenly
lights to the earthly," continued Rev.
Brinkman. "The aim cf every true
Christian should be, fir;, last and al
ways, 'seekinir the kingdom of God and
his righteousness.' This should take
the higher place over every earthly
ambition. Then says Christ, 'All other
things shall be added unto us.' Why
is It that so many Christians make so
little progress in their spiritual life?
Why is It that many a Christian's life
is a failure?"
Worry Said to Uaflt Christiana. '
"So often the innumerable petty
cares and endless worries of the day
warp the struggling soul of man in its
development. How often the week days
are given over to the worldly care,
worry and sinful anxiety which unfits
the Christian to the proper spiritual
development on Sunday."
Rev. Mr. Brinkman said that the
daily trivialities, the talk of shop and
market, profit and gain, amusement,
money and business, home cares and
obligations, exhaust the energies of
many a Christian so that he is unfitted
to rise spiritually for worship or to
rise to the spiritual Ideal.
"The Christian's days are often full
of toll and weariness and nights of
sleeplessness and unrest, as a result of
life's perplexities," he continued. "We
see portentous clouds in the future,
and so life becomes a fitful struggle
with care and anxiety. One of the
sins of the age is the habit of useless
worry and fretting. In the attempt to
carry the burdens of today and those
of tomorrow, we vex ourselves, often
because we think everything goes
wrong and Is doomed to destruction,
especially during these times of world
war and conflict.
Worry Worse Tkaa Work.
"Thers is a temptation to become
apprehensive in the outlook of the fu
ture, but in spite of our fears the world
moves on the same as before, and the
seasons come and go. bringing seed
time and harvest to bless the earth.
Men do not die from hard work
so much as the worry which accom
panies it. With a contented mind and
implicit faith in - the fatherhood of
God and his providential care over each
one of his children there will come the
reward of a blessed life or -spiritual
development blessed with all that
heaven holds for those who place 'first
things first' and seeking the kingdom
of God and his righteousness, 'all
things shall be added to them.' "
LOVE OP JTESTJS IS TOPIC
Christ's Work In Home and Syna
gogue Held Typical.
"Boras Astonishing Doctrines," was
the topio of Rev. T. W. Lane's sermon
last night in the Centenary MethodlBt
Church. For his text he chose St.
Luke iv, 2: "They were astonished at
his doctrine for his word was his
power."
Mr. Lane said that Jesus came In an
age that was dead with formalism and
ceremonialism, and his purpose was
to bring the age into touch with the
real truth. He said that as a creden
tial to the genuineness of his mission
he attested his word by occasional
manifestations of his miraculous
power.
"He could nowhere better have man
ifested this power than in connection
with the world's suffering and need
and pain," declared the speaker. "Here
was a background prepared and all
dark enough, where he could write so
that men might read his messages of
good will, love and power. Where
could he have written his sign manual,
his divine autograph, better than on
this firmament of human sorrow, dis
ease and woe? The first miracle that
Jesus wrought was In the home at
Canaan. His first miracle of healing
was in the synagogue. He thus placed
himself in the two pivotal centers of
our earthly life, for that life, with its
heavenly and earthward aspects, re
volves about the church and the home.
He touches our human life alike on
its temporal and spiritual side."
COURAGE TOPIC OF MR. PEXCE
Present Peace, Says Preacher, Would
Have Meant Warfare Later.
In his sermon on "The Discouraged
Man," Dr. E. H. Pence, of the West
minster Presbyterian Church, said:
"Monotony is a deadly foe to courage.
The discouraged man is not necessarily
a coward: he may be only a brave man
with the clutch slipping or gears not
properly meshing. Monotony is deadly
in Its killing power upon Imagination.
Men go dead, lose reliance, rebound and
Interest, when they lack a fad or an
avocation upon which to keep the
spring in' imagination elastic"
"The loss of expectancy is fatal to
courage. We live much in tomorrow.
No present pleasure can be absorbingly
satisfying if those of tomorrow are al
ready doomed to disappointment. Amer
ica might have enjoyed the continuance
of her peace, but wise men foresaw
that peace now could be purchased only
In the coin of frightful warfare in later
years. In truth, we fight now the bat
tle of our grandchildren. In nothing is
the cause of the allies more ennobled
than in this that they courageously
refuse a present peace which falls of
expectancy of peace a century hence.
Men, like nations, must live much in
their tomorrows if they would continue
brave."

2 SURGEONS TO TRAIN
BASE HOSPITAL, DOCTORS TO BE
SENT TO PHILADELPHIA.
H W ill Take Special . Cenn
Braia Surgery Taaarht by Ex
perts From War Zone.
Dr. Robert C. Tenney, director of
Base Hospital Unit , University Med
ical School Red Cross Unit, announced
yesterday that two of the unit's sur
geons probably will leave soon for
Philadelphia, where they are to take
a special course on surgery of the
brain. The course has been arranged
by the Surgeon-General of the Army
and will be taught by experts who
have recently returned from the war
front.
The War Department has requested
tn&t two surgeons De detailed lor this
duty over a four weeks' period.' but
the men who are to represent this dis
trict have not yet been determined.
The following are the addresses of
base hospital officers now on active
duty: Captain Paul Rockey and Lieu
tenant D. I Palmer. Camp Lewis; Lieu
tenant R. L. Benson, Fort Riley, Kan.;
Lieutenant R. B. Dlllehunt, Fort D. A.
Russell. Wyo.J Lieutenant Spiro Sar-
gentlch, Mineola, L. I.; Lieutehant
Steelhammer, Fort Greene, N. C. ; Lieu
tenant Blair, Vancouver Barracks.
These men are to rejoin the hospital
when it is assembled for active duty
as a unit.
Contributions from the Red Cross
chapters of the state continue to come
In, but on account of a misunderstand
ing there has been some hesitation
among the chapter officials in appro
prlatlng funds. Each chapter is prlv
lleged to retain one-fourth of the
funds raised by it for its local pur
poses, and of this sum high Red Cross
officials have advised that 30 per cent
be set aside for the base hospital fund.
Most of this money is being held by
the state committee, under the chair
manshlp of Henry L. Corbott, subject
to the proper action by each local
chapter, and It Is hoped that action
will be taken within a very few days.
The Portland Chapter voted its pro
portion a month ago, and the War De
partment is anxious that the unit be
outfitted for service as soon as possl
bio. This cannot be done until the
money is all on hand.
The following generous responses
have been received: Portland Chapter,
$20,000; Hood River, first in the state
to respond, SS00; Bend, $1000; Umatilla
County (Pendleton),, equipment tor 260
beds, costing for raw material alone
$8000; Vale, one-fifth of one-fourth cash
reserve, $235.33. . Pilot Rock. Salem,
Heppner and Grants Pass promise help.
Eugene has Just outfitted an ambu
lance oompany and is therefore not in
funds. Roseberg did not retain a cash
reserve, but could ask It to be set aside
In Washington.
The matter is still under considera
tion and prompt action is -. expected
from - the chapters at Baker,- Burns.

Linn County (Albany), Marshfleld,
Medford and The Dalles.
