TIIE MORXTXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1919.

Very Rev. Dean R T. T. Hicks
preached his first sermon since his re
turn from Seaside yesterday morning
at St. Stephen's pro-cathedral. While
he has been absent a month, acting as
rector at Calvary chapel. Rev. R. S.
Gill occupied the pulpit.
Dean Hicks chose as his text: "They
have not rejected thee, but they have
rejected me" from I Samuel viii:7, and
said in part:
"Here perhaps you find the keynote
or the cause of the world's condition
during the last three years and the
present time, namely, a rejected God.
Ood and reiipion today have to a cer
tain extent been rejected, and where
He has not been rejected. He has been
entirely neglected. This present condi
tion has not come upon us suddenly,
but gradually. Many of us can re
member when things were different.
Old Ways Forgotten.
"It was only a few years afro when
God, religrion and the church were em
phasized and considered necessary to
one's well-being-. But today things
have changed. God is not worshiped,
churches are practically empty, and the
risinsr generation is being raised with
no true conception of God.
"The gcod old paths have been for
gotten, and in the place of the Lord
God Jehovah we have erected the god
of materialism. This god holds sway
today. The inscription on our coin is
not longer true only so far as it rep
resents the god in whom we trust,
namely, the almighty dollar.
"Not o.ily has God been rejected by
individuals, but by the nation. This is
clearly seen in its attitude toward truth
and justice. The skeptic and the sneer
er are asking, 'Where is now thy God?'
In reply to this we can truthfully say:
'God is where he has always been, and
In his own good time he will raise up
a Moses to deliver his people Israel.'
Nation Too Self-Reliant.
"We are reaping today the result of
our sowing. Be not deceived. God
is not mocked, for 'whatsoever a man'
or a nation 'soweth that shall he also
reap.
"The trouble with us today is we
are too snug in our own security. Un
less we repent, a worse fate than that
of Sodom and Gomorrah will be visited
upon the world. Let us 'not wink at
these things, but heed the warnings
that are given to us and arouse our
selves to a sense of our duty toward
God, our neighbor and our country.
"Though the days be dark, let us not
be discouraged, but maintain a firm
trust in God and pray that those who
now reject him may see the error of
their ways and accept him as their
personal God and father."
At the close of the service Dean
Hicks baptized David Byers Ruther
ford, son of Dr. and Mrs. Walter Scott
Rutherford. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
C. Cate and Howard B. Ball acted as
sponsors. Dr. Rutherford has just re
turned from overseas.

sense of fear or spirit of avarice.
"The church must realize that her
task is immediate and will admit of no
delay. Every day adds the danger of
a volcanic upheaval .of such intensity
and destructiveness as will dwarf all
former catastrophes of the world's his
tory. If we tarry, the day of oppor
tunity may pass. The uproar of the
street, the bitter cry of those who suf
fer injustice, the sullen, hard-hearted
unwillingness of men to get together,
all demand of the church action im
mediate, courageous and efficient."
SEEK TRUTH, SAYS MINISTER
Real
in
active part in solving present-aay
problems, especially in the labor world,
was set forth yesterday morning by
Rev. L. Myron Boozer, pastor of the
Kirst Presbyterian church of Medford,
who supplied the pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church of this city. He
is moderator of the Oregon Presbyte
rian synod.
"The church facing its task," from
John iv:35, was his text.
"Jesus Christ always felt the urgency
of the tasks of his own day and genera
tion." he said. "To know him is to
share in this same consciousness. Tho
grave danger threatening the church
and the world is the complacent, self
satisfied, indolent, idle attitude of be
lievers to whom the present terrible
problems are not soul-stirring or of
even ordinary interest. We must break
in on this lethargy and demand in
terest, action and the facing of our
tasks.
The world, keenly conscious of its
throbbing pain, is grimly, even im
patiently, facing every moral force and
the organized kingdom of God on earth
demanding, 'What are you going to do
about it?' By the hundred thousands
come the toilers with the sweat and
grime of labor on them, smarting under
industrial injustice and the unequal
distribution of the proceeds of labor,
and they demand that the church shall
speak. Ten million blacks, bleeding,
crushed, outraged, spread their wrongs
before the church, asking a hearing.
The host of wan, ill-nourished, ex
ploited child workers press forward
to claim childhood's heritage, now de
nied them, and we must listen to their
cry. Here is the great group of the
women from whose windows hang the
scarlet thread, the wreckage . of the
lust of our generation: they have their
own heartaches, and it must become
our concern. The church must have
a mind and a programme.
"The manner and spirit In which the
church faces its task is important.
Uft up your eyes.' The vision should
be keen, analytic, intelligent. Our at
titude should not be to see how well
we can adjust the bandage after hu
manity is wounded, but to go back to
the source of the injury and remove
the causes not social settlements in
the slums but the removal of the cause
of slums and human misery. Men have
a right to ask a friendly, humane and
understanding attitude. You will never
face or solve the problems of the day
with the machine guns or soldiers with
fixed bayonets. The world perishes for
a friendly understanding and approach
of the warring elements. The church
must give the world an unselfish, he- 1
roic and venturing leadership. If men
must die, the church must furnish lead
ers who for God and the love of their
fellows will die with them.
"The purpose lying back of the ef
fort of the cnurch in her efforts is vital
to the whole programme. Many men
are interested in the restoration of
Russia because in their vaults repose
Bussian bonds with interest in default
and capital in danger. There are those
who look with concern across the
outhern border for the sake of oil and
mining stock whose dividends are slow
in materializing. China is on the heart
of some a concessions are endangered.
Captains of industry view their great
plants and would compose labor diffi
culties soon' lest they have little left of
the wreckage after the storm has
passed.
"The church must have a clearer and
nobler purpose. It must correspond
to Jesus Christ's purpose 'I am come
that ye might have life.' The passion
of man must be for mankind. Our prob
lems must be solved because righteous
ness and justice demand it. not from a
Christians Recognize Good
All Denominations.
In speaking last evening on "Why 1
Am a Christian Only," the Rev. H. H.
Griff is of the First Christian church
took for his text the 15th verse of the
third chapter of First Peter: "Sanctify
in your hearts Christ as Lord; being
ready always to give answer to every
man that asketh you a reason concern
ing the hope that is in you, yet with
meekness and fear." Griff is said in
part:
"I am a Christian only because I am
in favor of Christian unity, a thing
which the Christian church has urged
from the very beginning of its history.
I believe that in union there is much
strength, that in union there is answer
to the prayer of our Savior, that ii
union there is compliance with apos
tolic injunction, that in union there is
conformity with the spirit and wisdom
of the age in which we are living,
"Secondly, I am a Christian only be
cause the Christian church offers the
most sensible programme that I know
of for the realization of Christian unity.
That programme consists in restoring
in its essential features the church of
the New Testament, free from the in
ventions and speculations of men and
making that church the basis upon
which all Christians may come to
gether. In apostolic days there was
one church and it is axiomatic that
the platform of the united church of
the first century will be a full and
sufficient platform for the reunited
church of the 20th century.
"The New Testament church is the
truly catholic or universal church. Its
creed is the lordship of Jesus, its ordi
nances are baptism and the Lord's sup
per, its government is a pure democ
racy, its test of fellowship is Drotneriy
love, its members are called 'Christians,
and its congregations are called the
'churches of Christ."
"Finally, I am a Christian only be
cause 1 ima in tne acceptance oi a
simple, apostolic Christianity the truest
intellectual and spiritual freedom that
offered anywhere in the religious
world. It is a freedom that consists
both in the right to differ in opinion
on non-essentials and in the privilege
to accept the truth wherever it pre
sents itself. The man who is a Chris
tian only recognizes the good in all
religious bodies and seeks to be bene
fited by that good. He believes that
all truth is summed up n Christ and
that all truth is for every one of
Christ's followers. There is a no de
nominational truth. Truth is truth and
is for us all. Therefore let us all lear
witness to the truth and to all the
truth."
has shown himself to be, he may be
proven to be in Christian experience
and life. . . .
"The Christian doctrine of the trinity
is not a metaphysic, but a declaration
and expression of the faith and expe
rience of the church of God. . . . We
know God as our Father. We know
God as our saviour in Jesus Christ no
one, but the Divine could have done for
us and in us what Christ has done. . . .
It is the holy church throughout all
the world that doth acknowledge thee
the Father of an infinite majesty, and
thine adorable and only son, also the
Holy Ghost, the comforter. . . . The
Christian doctrine of God the trinity
is not an argument, it is an expe
rience. . . . How sublimely and well
this is all summarized in the apostolic
benediction.
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
(that Is, the character and spirit and
life of the Christ be with you)., "the love
of God (that is, the God of grace, who
'so loved the world that he sent his
only begotten son to redeem and save
men . . . Christ did not come into
the world to make God gracious, he
came because God was gracious -God
so loved that he sent his son'
'the love of God,' that seeks the salva
tion and best of human life and him
self takes first steps to make things
right for 'while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us') 'the love of God,
and 'the communion of the Holy Ghost'
be with you all. Amen."
MR. HAWLEY AGAINST BILL
Use or l'orest Road Funds to Im
prove National Parks Opposed.
SALEM, Or., Aus. 3. (Special.)
Transfer of national forest road funds
for use in improving national parks,
as proposed In a recent bill prepared
by Senator Smoot. is opposed by Repre
sentative W. C. Hawley of Oregon, ac
cording to a letter received at the ex
ecutive offices today.
Mr. Hawley made plain his position
in the matter in his acknowledgment
of protests forwarded to the Oregon
delegation in congrress by Governor Ol
cott and other state officials.
"Don't let some bird, who stayed at
home and worked for $S, Jl or $12 per
day while you were over there fighting
for $30 a month, lead you around by
the nose," cautioned Mayor Baker in
addressing 71 casuals who arrived in
Portland last night from Newport
News on their way to Camp Lewis for
demobilization. .
The men were taken to the Benson
hotel for dinner, and later were guests
of the Multnomah Athletic club in the
swimming pool. They left at 11 o'clock
last night for Camp Lewis.
"During the war." continued the
mayor, -"we had a lot of before the
war we called them men, but after
ward we called them skunks who did
everything possible to keep from going
to the defense of the flag. Now they
are trying to tell you boys what an
awful country this is, and What you
1 should do to correct the existing evils.
You boys know what this country is;
It was good enough for you to fight
for, and it is good enough for you to
stand behind.
Lrsion'a Future Discussed.
"If there are faults, you know what
they are. And you are to have a weapon
to correct them. The.American Legion
is to be your own organization, and
only ex-service men may become mem
bers. That body of more than 4,000,000
men will have in its hands the destiny
of this nation, and I know you boy
will be found in the ranks of that
body."
Mayor Baker gave the key of Oregon
to the contingent, which was made up
principally of engineers from the
northwestern states, and extended them
an invitation to return to Oregon in
case they did rot find things in their
own states to their liking. The troops
were in command of Second Lieutenant
W. A. Hensley, a Portland soldier who
went to France with the 116th engi
neers. The detachment is officially
known as casual 1115. Newport News,
and is comprised of Washington, Ore
gon. Idaho and Montana troops.
Fire Squad Also Leaves.
Fourteen members of the St. Nazaire
fire company, who arrived in Portland
Saturday afternoon in charge of First
Lieutenant A. A. Schwarz on their way
to Camp Lewis for demobilization, left
at 11 o'clock last night, after having
been permitted to spend Sunday witli
relatives in this section. They expect
to receive their discharge before the
end of this week.
In the party were: Sergeant Abberson,

Kevclaiion Brings God Near to Man,
Says Dr. Stansfield.
At the Kirst Methodist church yester
day morning before a large congrega
tion. Or. Stansfield preached on "An
Anostolie Benediction 'The grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
the communion of the Holy Ghost, be
with you all. Amen.' " He said: "The
glory of the Christian revelation is
that it brings God so near to man. . . .
As revealed in the Bible, all that God
is he is to and for man. . . . "What
God is beyond what is here revealed we
may not now know, but all that God
is in the scriptures, Jie Is to and for
man.
"We may rightly measure the truth
and worth of any religion by the
diminishing distance between the wor
shipper and his God. . . In heathen
religions God is far away and cannot
be approached but by intermediaries of
sacrifices and gifts. . . The heathen
ism of any system of religion, whether
in Asia or in America, in Christian or
non-Christian .places, may be justly
measured by the distance or Ueity and
the difficulty of approach. . . . The
fullest revelation of God is in the per
son of Jesus Christ. . . . True, God
is manifest in the realm of nature . .
creation is a book of God. In the phy
sical universe, of which we are a part.
we may know something of God his
power and majesty and wisdom the
heavens declare the glory of God, and
the firmament showeth his handiwork'
but in creation we could never know
the 'heart of the eternal' 'the only be
gotten of the Father, he hath revealed
him.' . .
"Jesus Christ was God in human per
sonality. ... In him, God comes so
near to man as to be the God-man . . .
Jesus was that. Through him we see
and know God. . . . The apostolic
benediction, which is very properly at
the closing of every Christian gather
ing, emphasizes this climax Christian
truth, of God near to man, and in man.
The underlying teaching is that all God
