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

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."

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

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

time has come when both sides should

worse conditions are met with.
"There is no doubt that world up

having or shall have our share of it.
Old ruthless business methods are ob

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. If we don t

Obituary.
ARMISTICE DECLARED ERROR
Rev. V. T. 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

band and the mailed fist; a battle be

give it a little time, can defeat pre

The Star Reporter's Story
Fred Armstrong was the star re
porter on the Globe.
"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. To his sur
prise he got up the next morning with
out even a trace of the cold.
When Fred went to the office Harry
was in his usual place. "Harry, old
top." he said. "Here's the best story
I ever landed. It's only half an hour
to edition time, but. by golly, I feel
fit to make this the best I ever wrote,
thanks to those Weeks' Break-Up-A-Cold
Tablets.

Portland-
Livestock Center
of the Pacific Coast
"Agriculture is the foundation of prosperity and
livestock IS tne cornerstone of agriculture."
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.
