THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY. 3IATCCII 1, 1910. ADVERTISING USED IN : METHODISTS' CAUSE PREACHERS OF NATIONAL REPUTATION WHO WILL BE IN PORTLAND TODAY. AND MAN WHO EE HEADS $100,000,000 DRIVE FOR METHODISM. S. & H. Stamps Bring Added Profit EXTRA STAMPS TODAY WITH THE COUPON Dr Christian F. Reisner Talks on Favorite Topic. S 20 20 .. ., i v f - - . v " it- t A - i S 'RUNABOUT' Wardrobe Trunks ELECTRIC SIGN EMPLOYED Chairman of Minute-Men in Cen ' tenary Drive Justifies Sensation in Aiding Christianity. . As dear as the dulcet murmuring of his contract would be the forceful ex pressions of Dr. Christian F. Reisner i-n the attentive ears of advertising men when that particular and prominent pillar of Methodism and the New York clergy dwells upon his favorite topic of publicity. Dr. Reisner, as executive chairman of the Methodist minute-men, is now in the city attending the world-programme conference of the Methodist centenary. Nor is Dr. Reisner any tyro at the practical end of the publicity game, which he has applied with vigor and effect to Grace Methodist church, his Xew York charge, and which led to his selection as the leader of the greatest publicity feature in Methodism's drive fir $100,000,000 to spend in broadening the influence of Christianity. Electric Sign lTsed. Above Grace church of nights there flames a huge electric beacon sign. Just such an intermittent, dazzling eye-com-peller as heralds the latest Broadway hit. lie it was who pioneered in the placing of chiJrch advertisements amid the amusement columns of New York dailies, convinced that a good ca'use need not shun any company so long as that cause is served thereby. "I would rather have a crude bit of advertising that catches the sight than none at all!" exclaimed Dr. Reisner yesterday, at a lull in the conference. "In New York we spent ?7000 in ad vertising in the daily papers and as a result $500,000 came in." At a superficial glance there is more of the alert, quick-thinking business man in Dr. Reisner's cosmos than of the etudious clergyman. He is distinct ly a modernist minister, who has kept pace with the times while retaining the deep fundamentals of the faith. He talks directly, incisively, with the un assuming confidence of one who knows whereof he speaks. Sensation Held Justified. "I would rather be a sensationalist than a dead one," continued Dr. JLeisner.."The man who will not create a. sensation in the Lord's work is pro something -you can guess what. We called those in this country who .were not for us during the war, pro-Germans. . "It is my hope that we will get where we will not take up a subscrip tion, or collection, or use the word 'beg.' Advertising is literature put into the hearts and heads of people until they believe it a privilege to in vest in God's liberty bonds. "Men who play golf and baseball on Sunday will not be as ready for busi ness on Monday as the men who go to church. You have to make the people know that the church is doing business. There is no. hope for this work with out Jesus Christ. We have to make people believe this by preaching it in tli' shop, the church, the office, or wherever we find them. We must even go to greater lengths," laughed Dr. Reisnor. "We must get oar faces into ttio papers, even though we are homely." Films Freely I'sed. In the centenary drive Dr. Reisner will command an army of 60,000 minute-men of Methodism, largely re cruited from the multitude of four minute men who preached the jehad of America's cause to such purpose during the late war. By special au thorization of President Wilson, the Methodist leaders have christened their division of publicity crusaders, the "minute-men." ine of Dr. Reisner's pet projects is co-operating with motion picture pro ducers to the end that films that have passed their usefulness in exhibition be turned over to the Methodist church for.uso in its Sunday schools. ' Hp is a firm friend of D. W. Griffith, noted American producer of motion picture spectacles, and it is Mr. Griffith who has promised to film for the Meth odists their tremendous pageant and centenary celebration which is to be held at Columbus, Ohio, during July. METHODIST CONFERENCE ON fOontinued From First Pa?e.) big campaign conference is the singing under the leadership of E. O. Excell, the publisher of more gospel hymns tfean any other man in the world. Mr. Hxeell weaves a sort of hypnotic spell about his audience which wins instant favor. A. W. Roper, pianist, caught the instant fancy of the audi ence with his variations In playing the old familiar tunes. If. for the 53,000 Methodists required to devote their lives to the services of Christianizing the world, there should he lacking volunteers, then the church would have recourse to the selective draft,, in the view of Rev. G. Franklin Ream, executive secretary of the de partment of life service, who was one of the speakers at the morning confer ences which preceded the afternoon opening session.

Sample eaeh free of "Cottaar. Dept. B, Batton.' For B there is plenty of available timber," said Dr. Ream. Dr. Reisner, who has already enrolled 60,000 of the 100,000 Methodist minute men the church intends to enroll that the story of the centenary may be told every Sunday by a laymen in every church in the land, spoke on and to the minute men. "Men who dodge the centenary will feel awfully cheap and they will be awfully cheap," said Dr. Heisner. "Minute men may speak only five minutes. Whenever I hear of a min ute man who more than once has overstepped his time, I ask for his res ignation." Dr. William A. Brown spoke of the requirements of stewardship in the Methodist church, of the decision to enroll 1,000,000 tithers who shall pledge one-tenth of their income to' the work of God. "If tithing had been the custom, last year alone enough money would have been raised to meet the current budget of $46,000,000 for the year., as well as $105,000,000 for which the Methodist centenary is now asking to carry on its work, and also several of the big ger war funds. "The purpose of the centenary Is to plant so firmly stewardship In the churches that it" will prove a success for each local church." VICTORY BAXQTTETS SERVED Problems of Churcli Discussed Vy "Well-Known Speakers. Some of the big problems which the Methodists of America face at home and abroad were related in personal, straight-from-the-heart talks to the church laity at victory banquets given at the First Methodist Episcopal church last evening. Dr. Christian F. Reisner was In charge of the dinner for laymen and the compelling personality of the man aroueed his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Dr. Reisner was preceded by Dr. Edward Lair Mills of Montana, who applied the problem facing the Methodist centenary to " the problem which faced the early trail-blazers in the west. More than 100 of the Methodist min ute men were enlisted at the dinner last evening, and two of their number delivered typical minute-man addresses. which indicated the strength which this great speaking organization soon will attain.- Dr. Carl Else made an emphatic ap peal for the boys and girls in this community. While others of the church shall devote their life work toward spreading the gospel of right living to the people of far-off lands, he urged that they do not forget the boys and girls at home. "The world is in a turmoil of re making," said Dr. George II. Pratt, the other one-minute man who spoke. "And the great problem of today is to coun teract the teachings of the I. W. W. and bolsheviki. It is our duty and our privilege tt take the gospel of Christ to them instead of having them come to us. ' Dr. G. Franklin Ream of New Jersey made an eloquent appeal to the meth odist clergymen as one of the chief speakers at the dinner for ministers. He urged that the ministers pick out young men of their congregations and appeal to them to join the ministry. He also spoke against churcli confer ence politics, and declared that church politics has always been one of the evil influences which has hampered church work. John W. Hancher, Dr. M. J. Trinery and Dr. W. E. Doughty were othcra who addressed the min isters. WOMEN'S POSITION OUTLINED National Representative of Hoard of Missions Speaks. More than 300 women of the Foreign and Home missionary societies of the Methodist churches of Portland assem bled at dinner at the First Methodist church last night to hear of their po sition on the centenary programme as outlined by Dr. William Brown, na tional representative of the board of home missions, and Dr. Sumner Vin ton, representative of the board of foreign missions. Mrs. A. R. Maclean presided at the meeting and short talks were given by two minute men, O. V. Badley and E. R. Andrews. "There is not a church in the de nomination that has not a man who could and who should draw a check to the centenary for more than the whole quota of that church for the drive," said Dr. Brown. "Our people should learn the pleasure of conse crating their wealth to God. In all my years in the ministry I have seen more homes broken by too much money than by lack of it. The centenary proposes in its survey to find the needs of the world and then to supply them." Dr. Vinton, who is the i'3th member of his family to enter the missionary field and who has recently returned from China and Japan, closed the pro gramme with an interesting talk on the needs of a wider evangelism in the far east. "The women, girls and children of Japan have been swept along on the great tide of modern industrialism which has invaded that section and religion has been left behind," said Dr. Vinton. "There are girls in the factories of the south of Japan receiv ing less than $1.50 a month, herded like animals. What would we as Methodists not do to help better their condition?"

Members of local No. 92. Commercial Telegraphers of America, living oubside of Portland, already are balloting In a strike vote, which will be completed by local members on Sunday. Intima tion is given by C. H. Preston secretary-treasurer of the union, that all ballots thus far received have, been in favor of a strike. This is the first definite announce ment that the telegraph employes here have taken actual tteps leading up to fctrike. It had been stated previously that telephone operators and members ot the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers were balloting on a proposal to strike. Grievances of all three of these unions are practically identical. They crow out of dissatisfaction with ac tions of telegraph and telephone offi cials, both local and national, and with the attitude of Postmaster-General Burleson in directing control of the wire systems. Pleas for redress have been sent repesteoly to Mr. Burleson, his bureau chiefs, heads of the tele graph and telephone systems, and fi nally to members of the Oregon dele gation In congress. Union officials de clare that results to date have been nil. They now propose a strike. Date for the etrike has not been set. The vote is expected merely to au thorize a strike at some date to be fixed later. JUDGES ASK FOR RELIEF APPLICATIONS POURINti IN FOR DOMESTIC RELATIONS JOB.

You won't need to be told, either, that backyard gardens are just a much needed in 1919 as they were In 1918. Besides, If you have once raised a garden, you probably have the habit for life. But whether you are a con firmed backyard gardener, with a fierce enmity for potato bugs and a cultivated taste in early radishes, or one of those who has merc'y looked on and envied in former years, but is deter mined to get into the game this year now is the time to get your Official Illustrated Govern ment Garden Book.

"The condition is that they shall be made in writing, being presented in sealed envelopes to the clerk of depart ment No. 4, circuit court." There is one other thing on which Judge Stapleton wants no public mis understanding. "The head of the domestic relations court will not be selected for religions or political reasons," he asserted with emphasis. "The Interest of the chil dren is at stake in this matter and we do not intend to allow political or re ligious considerations to sway us one Jot In the picking of the men for thi important post.
