THE 3IOKMXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1919 7 CLASS WAR SCORED lil POINTED Ml Rule Either by Labor or Capi tal Is Opposed. REV. H. H. GRIFFIS SPEAKS Armistice Day Observance Marked by Criticism or Closed Shop, Strikes and Unfair Practices. Closed shops, strikes and other union practices were scored in a ser mon delivered yesterday morning in observance of armistice Sunday at the First Christian church by the Rev. Harold H. Uriffis on the subject. "The Kmptre of Christ." based on the 28th verse of the third chapter of Gala tians: '"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." In develop ing his theme l'.ev. Mr. Griffis said: "This verse of scripture tells us that the message of Christ is God's solvent for race prejudices, class dis tinctions and sex inequalities. The world today bleeds with sectionalism and the call of the hour is for a race unifier. The Caesars and czars and kaisers have essayed to meet the sit uation with the supremacy of the sword, but their con'wmmate ego tism has only intensified the strife. The discordant elemet- of human so ciety can be unified only by the prop agation of the higher manhood of Jesus Christ. This is the dream of world empire that shall ultimately be realized; this is the true uni versalism. Clans liule In Condemned. "The church of Christ must have a definite message to the industrial world. To my mind that message must be both negative and positive. In its negative aspects it is an un compromising condemnation of four things: First, a condemnation of class rule. This republic is too big to be controlled by any one class of citizens, whether it be the laboring class or the capitalistic class. No labor union nor financial corporation shall run this country. Second, a condemnation of the principle of the closed shop as unconstitutional, un-American and tin-Christian. Third, a condemnation of the legal irresponsibility of labor bodies in the violation of their con tracts. Fourth, a condemnation of the social hatreds engendered by strikes, boycotts and picketing. Labor Representation L'reed. "Corresponding to these four nega tive points the message of the church to the world of industry must have the following positive features: First, an unqualified demand for the right of laboring people to organize for purposes of efficiency and self-improvement and the betterment of working conditions. Second, a de mand for the legal incorporation of the labor union that it may be treated as an entity before the law and be held responsible for the fulfillment of its contracts. Third, a demand for the participation of labor through its accredited representatives in the man agement of business. Fourth, a de mand for the equitable sharing of la bor in the profits of industry. "The church of Jesus Christ stands for sound ethics and the time is at hand for Christian people to declare themselves on the ethical implications of our industrial situation. What is needed is an industrial programme based on unswerving justice, mutual sympathy and genuine co-operation." the rule of reason In international life, that America, the freest and ethically the first and most advanced of all America must and surely will sign the treaty of peace, and we trust with wise and characteristic 'reserva tions or 'interpretations' may enrich and better the world's latest and greatest treaty of peace. For either President Wilson and hie party or the republican majority to fail of this would be for America to fail of hu manity's best hopes and to backstep shamefully, and for us and for others disastrously." SOCIAL ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED Day Here for Both Labor and Cap ital to Think, Says Pastor. "Suppose a referee or umpire should say in advance to each contestant in a .foot-race: 'Now run at such and such a speed in this 100-yard contest. Never mind how slowly you run, if you reach the goal sometime.' The OLD-TIME KF.l.SO RESIDENT D1KS. i : - I!

RED CROSS APPEAL IS MADE ' Mighty and Merciful Sermon by Rev. E. ' Is Text of Constant. "Mighty and Merciful" was the les son of the sermon preached yesterday morning at Highland Congregational church by Rev. Edward Constant. The Bcrmon was devoted to the Red Cross drive. "While it may be difficult to find & brief and satisfactory definition of deity, God may be characterized," said Mr. Constant, "by the words might and mercy. Keal greatness of char acter arises from the union of strength and gentleness. That js the combination which made Jesus personality. The life of Jesus was a healing stream, a fount of mercy. He is "mighty to save.' When a man, bruised and wounded in spirit, whose better self has been crushed in the conflict, comes into contact with Christ he experiences the inflowing Jire wnicn means for him succor and restoration. Thus one 'dead in tres passes and sin' comes back to life. "May we not find these divine qual J ties or strength and love in the Red cross: It is mighty and merciful. It is a servant ministering with firm ncss, strength and wisdom. No hounds are recognized in its activities. It responds to every call. Its strong arm rcacnes over continents and oceans. ;o organization know more of sacrificial service. It stands before up as an angel of mercy amid scenes or devastation, carnage and sufferine- It ignores all creedal and racial divi sions. "This organization now comes to u as a suppliant. Surely its mother heart will not plead in vain. Out of gratitude for what it has done let us raiiy 10 lis support." LEAGUE URGED IX SERMON X)r. iatansfield Declares Victory Should Be Preserved. Armistice day was observed in special service at the First Methodist church last night with a programme or patriotic and war music and the attendance of ex-soldiers whose names were on the service flag and nonor roll ot the church. in nis address on the armistice Dr. siansrieid said: "On November 11 one year ago, the greatest armistice ' an nisiory was declared Germany iicMio wieagea aeieat and the fisrhtiner in the world's greatest and worst war ceased. it was indeed a world war, for most of the nations and peoples of ine earin were in it. It was the mil itary Armageddon of the ages whr.- in contended and fought the best and worst or the worlds life. Not alon a fierce fight of the mixed nationali ties ana races, the war was neither racial nor religious, but rather a. de cisive coninct or ideas, ideals and pniiuaupmes ana xorms or govern ment. , "The war was well and noblv won America, though late, having a large anu aecisivo part in me victory. It now remains for America to keep her rightful place in consummating the highest purposes and ends of the war. namely a league of nations for peace and international good will and Jus tice. "The world's peace treaty, embrac lng a league of nations, not without faults, and confessedly imperfect, i fundamentally of such high purpose And intent, namely world peace and record is somewhere around 10 sec onds fiat for 100 yards. Hut what would the result be if all the runners ran at their own sweet will and obeyed the injunction of the referee? Such a race, for speed, would be a Joke." The speaker was Dr. A. A. Morrison. rector of Trinity Episcopal church, in his sermon yesterday morning. He was discussing the poor social state of the Hebrews prior to the teachings of Jesus Christ and contrasting it with the modern economic competi tive system, if that system is not con trolled by ethics and brotherly love between employed and employe. "We have plenty of laws to deal with any situation or crisis, pro ceeded Dr. Morrison. "We ought to apply the laws we have, tempered with reason, without creating a maze of new laws difficult to understand. The eight-hour working day was en acted by labor unions to prevent em ployes being worked to death. The time has come when both sides should listen to reason and national preser vation capital and labor before worse conditions are met with. "There is no doubt that world up heaval is going on and that we are having or shall have our share of it. Old ruthless business methods are ob solete and are being swept away. A new order is arriving. We can't meet it as did the Pharisee of old, th evasion and subterfuge. The old rules of living and civilization are diametrically opposed to the teach ings of Christ and the commands of God the father of us all. "Let us face the new social Issues without egotism, without setting class against class. Let us face it with new Americanism, like men who love our fellows and who try humbly to walk with God.

McElveea Draws Moral From Great War. "The armistice was a mistake; it was both a military and a political er ror. The armies of the allies and es pecially the American branch of the army had the Huns on the run. In another month or two the German high command would have been glad to have surrendered, but alas, i stopped before we got through." Thus Dr..W. T. McElveen began his address at the First Congregational church last evening after Major Hib bard, representing the "Legion, had made an appeal for the civilian re serve and Red Cross. "Rumor is that when General Foch heard the armistice had been signed he burst into tears," said Dr. Mc Elveen. "Well might he do so. His splendid strategy, backed by the im petuosity of the Tank attack, had not only out-maneuvered but struck fear in the German heart. The German generals knew they were licked and so the exhausted English and French peoples thought that an armistice was tantamount to the surrender, but it was not. If we had continued the fight for another month the German army would have collapsed and the hundred and one questions for which we are now seeking an answer would have been satisfactorily answered. The German people are still fed up on the idea that they were not de feated. The pan-Germans still cherish the ambition to dominate the world. The German leaders think that they have out-wittea their opponents. "The lesson to be learned is a sim pie one: When you do anything do it well; do it thoroughly and then you won t have to do it all over again The great issue between the Entente allies and Germany was fundamental ly a struggle between the pierced band and the mailed fist; a battle be tween unprepared democracy and ef ficient paganism. me great war. proved that unprepared liberty, if you give it a little time, can defeat pre pared and efficient tyranny that idealism can conquer well-equipped materialism.

"I guess this game is too much for me," he remarked one afterVioon to Harry Welsh, another reporter. "What's the matter?" Harry asked. "Being out in all kinds of weather doesn't seem to agree with me," Fred grumbled. "You know I was out a week with the grippe, and covering that train wreck yesterday seems to have started another cold. I don't feel fit to report a cat-fight, and the graft case goes to court tomorrow." "Take care of yourself," Harry ad vised. "When you feel like that. Weeks' Break-Up-A-Cold Tablets ax the remedy." "Nothing cooking. I can't see these cold medicines. They always make me feel dull and dopey," Fred objected. "Weeks' Tablets are different," Harry asserted. "Old "Doc' Peters told me about them. They Increase the bodily resistance to colds. They won t make you dull or dopey, either. "Go out and get a twenty-five cent box or weeks' HreaK-up-A-Joia 'lab lets. Thev sure are worth trvin.' Harry urged. "Insist on Weeks' though, because they contain a vege taDie laxative instead or calomel. Fred did as Harry suggested and started taking the tablets.

James Withycombe. Mr. Citizen, have you not at times been almost consumed with a desire to really do something for your city? Have you' looked for opportunities have you really looked? and not found them! An opportunity now exists for every loyal Port lander to aid in the accomplishment of a giant task. We refer to the drive now in progress for the sale of $100,000 worth of stock needed to complete the New Pavilion of the Pacific International Livestock Exposition. Let us go into the merits of the proposition let us analyze, citizens, and ascertain if it is worth while. Did You Know That the volume of livestock business transacted at the Portland Union Stock Yards annually ex ceeds six thousand eight .hundred carloads of cattle, sheep and hogs? and that the value of this live stock amounted to One Hundred and Sixteen Mil lion Dollars! Did You Know That stock-raising and the stock show enterprise which makes of Portland the undisputed livestock center of the Pacific Coast, means more, yes much more to Portland than the Alaska trade has meant to Seattle? Did You Know "That as a result of its broad educational pro gramme and the stimulus of its competitive annual events, the Pacific International Livestock Exposi tion will make of the Northwest, the leading live stock producing section of the world?" Did You Know That the world's greatest need is increased pro duction, this being particularly true of food, cloth ing and other common necessities And that the promotion of the livestock industry is a definite and practical step in meeting this need. Because, through the livestock industry the world is supplied with a large share of its food (meats, dairy prod ucts, milk, etc.) also wool for fabrics and leather for shoes! Did You Know That Portland as a livestock center serves a ter ritory larger than the entire New England states? Did You Know That important as the livestock business is to Portland, even at this date, that it is in its infancy -that with the exposition this business must grow by leaps and bounds, and that Portland will benefit, proportionately ? Ah, enough! We could go on ad libitum, tell ing what the livestock business and particularly the exposition means to Portland. All the more shame that a necessity exists for the intensive methods used by the loyal hustlers who are gathering in the needed $100,000 for fin ishing the pavilion. Hundreds have subscribed but thousands have not! How about your name? Is it on the list or off? Your subscribing is a peace time duty to your city of as great significance as your war time donations for the succor of humanity. Subscribe today don't be a slacker help com plete the fund today. Call Main 8228 and say, "Send a man I want to be a stockholder of that wonderful Livestock Exposition because, I'm for Portland!" Merchandise of Merit Only Another of the Series of "The Spirit of Greater Portland" Will Appear in The Oregonian Next Tuesday Morning. O j 1 i
