LUMBERMAN PLEADS GUILTY
TO MISUSE OF FUNDS.
Other Indictments Against ex-Offl-

Are Dismissed.
J. Al Pattison, who pleaded guilty
to aiding Jerome Mann, ex-cashier of
the Bank of Linnton, in misappropri
ating $100,000 of bank funds, was
fined $500 in the federal court by
Judge Bean yesterday. After two
trians. Mann was found not guilty by
jury and this fact was taken into con
sideration by Judge Bean in imposing
the fine. On orders from the office
of the United States attorney general,
other indictments against Mann,
growing out of the transactions with
Pattison, were dismissed yesterday.
Indicted with Mann in the dismissed
charges were C V. Cooper, Robert
Pattison and J. Al Pattison.
J. Al Pattison was president of the
J. Al Pattison Lumber company and
got himself and the former bank
cashier into trouble when he bor
rowed sums aggregating more than
$120,000 on lumber bills of lading.
alleged to have been fraudulent.
Bert E. Haney, United States attor
ney, recommended to the court that a
minor fine be imposed on Pattison
and that a prison sentence be omitted.
Mr. Haney explained that the funds
were not used for personal benefits
of any of the individuals concerned
but for th operation of lumber mills
in which the defendants were Inter
ested. Thirty days was granted Pat
tison in which to pay the fine.
After Mann left the institution the
bank at Linnton was reorganized
and the state banking department re
ports it in good condition. The bank
itself never lost a dollar by the trans
actions of Mann and Pattison, as the
funds were replaced by securities pro
vided by Mann s father.

Till founder. Lady Wolverton, was
deeply interested in an orphan asylum
and conceived the idea of having the
wardrobe of the institution abund
antly cared for by asking friends each
to contribute two new articles a year
of wearing apparel or household linen,
laying stress on the fact that they
must be new. .
Very soon a group of women began
this labor and the growth was rapid.
Later a paragraph in the local paper
was copied in Ixindon and Lady Mary
Adelaide of Teck, the mother of the
present queen launched the London
guild, and then guilds grew up very
swiftly and in widespread localities.
In 1885, an American, Mrs. Alason
Hartpence, traveling in England,
learned of this charity and brought
the idea home to Philadelphia. Her

ATTACK ON OR. BOYD
LAID 1 OLD FIGHT
Presbyterians Divided on Ex
act Meaning of Address.
BROAD VIEWS LIKED HERE
Arraignment by Orthodox Paper
Is- Regarded as Continuation of
Fight Against Liberalism.
Orthodoxy . In the age-old fight
against liberalism, conservatism
against the broader view, with a the
ological cudgel for the clergyman who
dares depart from the narrow path of
the faith and become a trail-blazer on
his own account, is held by local
friends of Dr. John H. Boyd, ex-pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of
Portland, to have been the actuating
motive of the recent attack on that
minister, when It was charged that he
had violated tenets of the Presbyte
rian faith in statements made in his
farewell address to the local congre
gation. .
Dr. Boyd delivered the sermon from
his pulpit in this city, on July 13, 1919,
and shortly afterward left for Chi
cago, there to fill the chair of homi
letics in McCormick Theological sem
inary. From published accounts of
the address quotations were derived
which led the Herald and the Presby
terian, both publications ' of the
church, to give prominence to opin
ions that the clergyman was unfitted
to train Presbylerian youth for the
ministry.
Opinion la Divergent.
Among the many who heard the
sermon there is a divergence of
opinion as to whether Dr. ' Boyd
actually uttered the exact words at
tributed to him in effect, saying
that he had not pleaded for belief in
God or the realities of the spiritual
world, but that he had labored to
bring about, through the worthiness
of unselfish purity and manliness, an
individual approach to the deity and
an understanding of the spiritual
truths.
Others are assured from recollec
tion that Dr. Boyd gave voice to the
exact sentiments attributed to him,
and which were so bitterly assailed
by the conservative church journals
of the east, but declare that the utter
ances should never have been con
sidered apart from the remainder of
the sermon, and that the effect of
the entire discourse would not leave
a vestige of the impression given by
the paragraphs which were attacked.
Congregation la I.lberallst.
Members of the congregation of the
First Presbyterian church ' of Port
land are admitted liberalists. Dr.
Boyd's eloquence, his zeal in every
good cause and the enlightened ex
cellence of his spiritual counsel, say
the parishioners, were quite to the
liking of the congregation, which he
served for eight years. They find no
fault in him, they decry the attacks
as unjustified, and they are sincere
lv sorry that he is no longer here.
From the. viewpoint of men of
prominence in the local congregation.
the following summary or tne suua
tion which made the case and tho
charges possible expresses general
oDlnion :
There exists in the Presbyterian
church two factions, the liberal and
the conservative, as in all other
churches. In the Presbyterian church,
however, the situation is a trifle more
critical and the feeling more Intense
by reason of the fact that alignment
is fairly definite. The First Presby
terian church of Portland la broadly
liberal. ,
Liberal Aima Outlined.
The liberal element, say friejids of
Dr. Boyd, stands very strongly for
educational development and a
broader conception of the funda
mental truths, while the conservatives
adhere closely to an exact doctrinal
interpretation. One important point
on which these factions -differ is with
regard to the theory or inspiration.
Some hold to the old doctrine of lit
eral interpretation of the' scriptures
believing that biblical authors actual
ly were guided by God's hand. The
more liberal theories ol inspiration
such as Dr. Boyd taught, cling to
the common-sense viewpoint. While
not questioning the validity and
sacred character of the Bible, they
believe that God wrofe his messages
through human minds and hands.
While Dr. Boyd held the Portland
pulpit, say members of the congre
gation, his broad and enlightened
views were welcomed. But when he
left for the east to accept a profes
sorship in one of the leading Presby
terian seminaries, the conservative
raised instant clamor. It wa one
thing for the clergyman to express
liberalism from his own pulpit, to his
own people, and another to place him
in the theological seminary as an
instructor. .
Publication Leads Attack.
The Presbyterian, the publication
which led the attack on Dr. Boyd,
has pronounced views on the fitnees
of the several seminaries of the
church and it does not include Mc
Cormick seminary on its favored list.
In a recent reply to a correspondent
the Presbyterian is quoted ae saying
that Lane seminary - and Princeton
seminary were the only conservative
Common tea is extrava

A ScJiilling S Co San Frattcisco
institutes in the field, and that it'
could not recommend others as train
ing schools for the ministry.
Thus, say the liberalists, the fight
was fully as much against McCormick
seminary, as it was against Dr. Boyd,
for the Institute already was obvi
ously in disrepute with the conserva
tives. Seizing upon the published quo
tations from Dr. Boyd's farewell ser
mon in Portland, and timing them to
his acceptance of the chair of homi
ietics at McCormick, the Presbyterian
opened fire.
There can be no action taken in the
matter, say the liberalists, for the
reason that the general assembly,
which recently met at St. Louis, ap
proved Dr, Boyd's appointment, and
for the further reason that his views
coincide with those of many Presby
terians throughout the country. More
over, they point out, the days of
church trials for heresy are dead and
done with.
Similar Caae Ie Recalled.
A somewhat similar .case, in which
Portland figured as the meeting place
of the general assembly which con
sidered it, was the trial for heresy of
the late Professor Charles Augustus
Br!gg, an oraained minister of the
Presbyterian church and a member of
the faculty of Union theological sem
inary or New York. The case dragged
ror two years, with one hearing at
th.i general assembly in Portland in
lbSr. Dr. Briggs was convicted of the
chargo at the assembly held the fol
lowing year at Washington, D. C, and
was dismissed from the ministry.
me case awakened nation-wide In
terest. The session at Portlaad was
marked with great partisan bitter
ness and cast a cloud over the visit of
the general assembly to this city. As
the result. Union seminary, upholding
ir. tsriggs. severed connections with
the Presbyterian church and is still
independently operated. Though manv
Presbyterian clergymen receive their
training at Lnion, it is current gossip
that theological graduates from that
nstltute frequently experience diffi
culty in obtaining Presbyterian par-
isnes, particularly in communities
where the church sentiment is conser
vative.
Address Canaes Charges.
In 1891, Dr. Briggs, on the occasion
of his transfer from the chair of
Hebrew languages at Union seminary,
to that of Biblical theology, deliv
ered an address on "The Authority
of the Holy Scriptures." Statements
made in this discourse gave rise to
the charge of heresy. Dr. Briggs
was accused of teaching that rea
son and the church are alike foun
tains of divine authority, that the
original text of the scriptures may
nave contained errors, that Moses
did not write the Pentateuch, or first
five books of the Old Testament, and
that Isaiah wrote but one-half of
the book bearing his name.
A situation such as that which
characterized the Briggs case would
De impossible today, it is said. Pres
byterians agree that the trial for
heresy will probably never again be
invoked, with its attendant rancor
and turmoil within the flock. And
local churchmen hold that Dr. Boyd,
at any rate, is far removed from any
taint of spiritual unsoundness.
The origin of the charges against
Dr. Boyd comes in for more critical
comment than does the originator. It
was Rev. J. Edward Blair, now a
pastor at Gold Beach, Or., who wrote
the missive which first attacked the
published quotations, and sent it for
publication to the Herald and Presby
ter, where It appeared to the conster
nation of liberals and conservatives
alike.
Orlartnator Unknown Here.
Dr. Blair is comparatively unknown
In Portland, but has occupied several
country parishes throughout the
state. Last summer he received ap
pointment as financial agent for
Albany college, resigning after two
months" service.
"It is humorous Irony," said one of
the local congregation, "that an ob
scure minister, such as Dr. Blair,
should feather a shaft at a kindly,
sensible and eminently successful
clergyman, such- as Dr. Boyd. The
former represents conservatism in
the extreme, the latter Is a liberal,
fully as godly and with a much wider
record of spiritual service."
Continent Makea Km Comment.
It Is pointed out. as well, that the
Continent, a Presbyterian publication
which is said to lead the field, abso
lutely refrained from publishing any
account or making editorial comment
when the attack on Dr. Boyd was un
der way.
"At a session of the governing body
of the local church," said A. S. Pat
tullo, clerk of the sessions, "a com
mittee was named to draw up a reso
lution to express to Dr. Boyd, as the
sentiment of the congregation, our
love and confidence, and our belief
that he is sincerely following the
teachings of Jesus Christ. Such a
message has gone forward to Dr.
Boyd, occasioned by these unwar-
tanted attacks upon him. There is
nothing further to be said. A man
of his magnitude needs no defense."
Referring to the quotations attrib
uted to Dr. Boyd, as reprinted in the
eastern church publications, James F.

Kwing. educational director of the
First Presbyterian church, said:
"Those sentences as they are quoted
do not represent Dr. Boyd's attitude
toward the gospel, and they are net
consistent with the ministry he gave
our church for eight years, if taken
from their surroundings in the gen
eral trend of the sermon.
"There Is a variety of opinion, even
among those who heard the farewell
message. Many say that they recall
the words and others are of .the con
trary belief. But all agree that the
sense of the sermon in its entirety
was not such as might be derived
from those Isolated paragraphs.
"One man said to me. when the dis
cussion first arose: 'Dr. Boyd was
quoted correctly, in substance, but
the impression gained from the com
pleted sermon left no doubt as to his
meaning, and was entirely different
from that which might be snatched at
by a perusal of the few sentences,
where a thought was expressed with
out Its accompanying: explanation in
the context.' "
