Vocation, Declares Speaker,
That Calls for Man's Mind, Heart,
Capital and Character.
' SEABECK, "Wash.. ' June " 19. (Spe
cial.) Before 150 delegates from the
Colleges of the northwest at the stu
dent Y. M. C. A. conference Dr. John
H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presby
terian church of Portland, spoke on the
subject of "The Mlnistery as a Vo
cation in Life."
"A man must put his mind, heart,
capital and character into his life vo
cation, and if he does that, success is
sure," said Dr. Boyd. Ue continued:
"I was born in those depressing
days of poverty after the- civil war
and by my own efforts and persistence,
with the aid of a few friends, I secured
my education and climbed slowly but
surely to the place I now hold as
pastor of on. of the largest congrega
tions on the Pacific coast. I was just
an ordinary young man and 1 can
promise to every one of you who is
willing to put his heart, mind, capital
and character into his vocation a sue
cess equal to mine.
'I would be an I. TV. W. If I had
lived as soma men live In the centers
of industry." : said Dr. Boyd, in his
second address before the students'
conference, on "Jesus Christ and the
Democratic Movement.'
"You cannot carry : a moral pro
gramme of democracy except in a
spiritual atmosphere and the world
must have a soul large enough and
sensitive enough to bring that pro
gramme about," said Dr. Boyd. "I
don't believe, today, that the world
has soul enough to adopt a plan for
a league of nations."
Wm. J. Kerr, president of Oregon
Agricultural college, delivered his
opening address before the conference
on Special Problems of a Pry nation.
Other speakers were Dr. C G. Doney,
president of Willamette university;
Professor P. L. Pickett of th. Wash
ington State college, and W. H. Lewis,

NATRON CUT-OFF MAY WAIT

- likely, Says Mr. Straborn.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or, JHn 19-
(Speclal.) There is very little chance
for the completion of the Natron cut
off to Eugene, or any other railroad
construction In the neighborhood of
Klamath Falls in the near future, ex
cept the Strahorn railroad, which the
people are assisting; to finance, says
Robert E. Strahorn, who left recently
for Portland, after a brief business
visit here.
There has been much agitation over
the building; of the Natron cutoff,
which would place Klamath Falls on
the main line of the Southern Pacific
between Portland and San Francisco,
but Mr. Strahorn says that this work
at present would mean an - outlay of
125,000,000, with little -new territory
opened up to . Justify . the construc
tion. Mr. Strahorn is sToing ahead with
his plans for the. building- of his line
north to Sprague river from Dairy,
this year, trusting that the city will
do its part promised when the road
was launched.
