DR. Ft. C. BROOKS SPEAKS
Intcr-Cliurch World Movement
Conference Hears Discussion of
Tendency for Inactivity.
"Some of the churches of this coun
try are petting to the point where
they specialize in irrelevancies." de
clared Dr. Raymond C. Brooks, one of
the leaders in the interchurch world
movement conference now in session
at the First Methodist church in this
city, yesterday. Dr. Brooks is pastor
of the First Congregational church of
Berkeley. Cal.
"I don't smoke and I don't know
how to danoe and I wouldn't know
what to do with a deck of cards, and
most of you ministers are probably in
the same position, yet we're tied up
with those things. It's an astounding
thing to say, I know It, but it's time
we realized ther is bigger business
for us to be dealing with than spend
ing time on things like this."
Inactivity Is Berated.
The speaker pointed out that th
church has been subject to much
criticism recently and took up the
three main objections he had heard
voioed. The first was that the aver
age church member does not ex
emplify the type of character upon
which the Institution was founded.
"If it be that a church has become
the gathering place of the morally
Indifferent, the spiritually stupid and
the intellectually lazy, the sooner that
church closes its doors the better." .
Another of the criticisms enumerat
ed was that the church is said actu
ally to stand across the path of social
progress and that in the last 20 years
social welfare workers -have found
It neuessary to perform many of their
tasks without the sympathy and co
operation of churches. His third
point was that in many quarters
church members are not consistent
with intellectual or spiritual freedom
end that those most interested in the
welfare of Christianity have not
found the church their proper instru
ment and are standing apart from it.
Waste Is Pointed Out.
We have b&en talking about con
servation, co-operation and the like
while we are wasting men and money
Incredibly," he continued. 'Tlie city
is underchurched and the country is
overchurched. In the farm districts
we have one church to every 80 peo
ple. In the city we have one for
every 3000."
At this point a minister Inquired:
"Do you mean active churches?"
"Don't press that word 'active'," Dr.
Brooks responded. lie brought up
the matter of underpaid clergymen,
stating that before the war, outside
of the 125 largest cities In the United
States, the salary of the av-erage Prot
estant minister was J636.
"What is It now?" asked a pastor.
"Our own church has lifted its pay
tremendously."
Increases Held Insufficient.
"Oh. now," Dr. Brooks replied, "I'd
spell that with a few less letters. As
compared with the high cost of liv
ing your increase doesn't show up
much. Even yet it is true that two
thirds of the ministers in the United
States are not receiving a living wage
and one-half of the . Protestant
churches of America are not able to
pay a living wage. The increases
have not always gone to those who
needed them, must."
John D. Kice, state supervisor of
rural survey work, described his ex
periences in goiiig through Benton
county, where, he showed, dances
were often organized in opposition to
church projects. At the town of
Wren, he pointed out, the church was
put on the edge of ihe cemetery so
that the people would have a place
to bury their dead. It is practically
abandoned. One minister was found
supporting a family on $4t0 a year
and the pastors' pay outside of Cor
vallis and Philomath was from S400
to $MO0.
Similar condjtions in Washington
and Idaho were brought up by. an
other speaker. These talks were fol
lowed with slides showing parts of
the survey made in representative
counties in the United States. Mrs.
Anna B. Milligan. another of the team
of speakers, brought the afternoon
programme to a conclusion.
CampalKn Is I'lunnrd.
A nation-wide- evangelistic cam
paign to culminate with an ingather
ing of members on faster ' Sunday is
one of the plans of the Interchurch
W orld movement, according to an an
nouncement of Dr. Bruce B. Corbin
of New York, associate secretary of
the spiritual resources department
of the Interchurch World movement,
in an address on "Spiritual Dynamics."
given at the Oregon three-day con
ference of the movement, held in the
First Methodist church Tuesday.
"All the denominations co-operating
in the programme of the Inter
church World movement are agreed
that the spiritual resources should
be developed and conserved to a
greater degree than it is now," said
Dr. Corbin. "It is the suggestion of
the movement that every church
precede its work with a house-to-house
canvass so that no ono in any
community will be overlooked. The
hope of the leaders is that thousands
upon thousands of persons will be
received into the church as a result
of the evangelistic work and the en
listment of intercessors."
l'rnyer Wrek to Observed.
Dr. Corbin said that there will be
general observance of the week of
prayer from January 4 to 11 and that
a possible 25.000,000 persons will
usher in the new .Year with prayer
either in their churches or at their
own family altars.
All the advanced movements of
the co-operating churches will be
supported by a barrage of publicity
through the advertising columns of
the newspapers, according to A. O.
Fegert. formerly a newspaper man
of Chicago, who is a member of the
team of speakers conducting the con
ference in the nortwest states. In
his address, yesterday morning, Mr.
Fegert urged church leaders to ad
vertise the "bread of life" as exten
sively as the breakfast foods are ad
vertised. Co-operation Held Necessary.
Co-operative effort on the part of
the churches to make the community
a better place to live in was said to
be a necessity in the address of Dr.
Edward Lincoln Smith, correspond
ing secretary of the American board
of commissioners for foreign mis
sions, in the course of his presenta
tion of the topic of "Christianizing
the Community." Considerable dis
cussion followed his presentation as
to the extent the church should go in
providing for the amusement of the
young people of the church.
"Do you think that the churches
should encourage dances or conduct
dancins?" one of the delegates asked.
CHURCH
CHARGED
"I am. thinking of the returned sol
diers who have learned how to dance
in connection with the social activi
ties in the camp cities. How are we
going to meet that situation?"
Dancins Held I'nthinkable.
"It is unthinkable that the churches
should conduct dances," replied Dr.
Smith. "The young people themselves
would not want to come to church
for dances for they have other ideas
of what the church should do and
the spiritual message of the church
would lose its power If the church
did countenance dancii.g. It is my
idea that the churches should be
come such social centers, however,
that the young people would rather
go to the churches for their social
life than to the dances where the
moral influences too often are not
what they cight to be." i .
Among the things suggested to
make the churches social centers was
a baseball league for the young men,
a mock house of representatives or
senate where the young people would
have a chance to get familiar with
parliamentary procedure and a class
to study the dramatic presentation
of bible and missionary pageants.
Warning; Is lasaed.
Japan may become the "Hun of the
east" unless the Christian influences
in that country successfully counter
act the militaristic spirit, according
te Dr. Rayol J. Dye, who gave an
address on the "Foreign Mission Sur
vey" being conducted by the inter-
THREE PROMINENT' WORKERS
. .
church world movement in mission
ary lands. The address was the main
feataie of the evening session of the
Oregon state conference of the move
ment in session at the First Metho
dist church.
"Japan has adopted the German
military system, and militarism is a
big issue in that country," said Dr.
Dye. "If America sends reinforce
ments to the missionary forces, it is
possible to help the real leaders of the
Flowery Kingdom in their fight
against the German militarism. Japan
also adopted Ihe German educational
system, and they have put into effect
the industrialism of the west without
the safeguards of the west. All these
things will work out for the stunting
of the growth of Japan unless the
empire becomes Christianized.
America's Help Needed.
"If America will help and do Its
utmost to promote missionary enter
prises, Japan will become the golden
opportunity instead of the yellow
peril."
Dr. Dye said the, people of the em
pire are practically without religion
and quoted figures of a census taken
among the students of the Imperial
university to prove it. The census
showed that among the students were
eighr Shintolsts, St) Buddhists, 60
Christians, 1500 atheists and 3000 ag
nostics. Speaking of the survey of all mis
sionary lands being made by the inter-church
world movement. Dr. Dye
said the scientific information being
obtained would enable the "whole
church to face the whole task in all
the world."
Orientals Are Held.
Ten Chinamen and nine Japanese
were arrested last night in police
raids on two alleged gambling houses.
Patrolmen Burdlck and Wood arrest
ed the Chinese at 95 Second street.
The Japanese were arrested in a pool
room at 90 Fifth street.
Robbery Is Reported.
Russell Slade, 297 Glenn avenue,
reported to the police last night that
two men had held him up at East
Thirty-ninth and East .Ah streets,
and had robbed him of $1.10. One of
the robbers carried a revolver and
the other searched the victim.
NEW BILLS AT
Olcott Delayed.
o
WING to delayed train service I
from the east, Chauncey Olcott's j
company arrived in Portland too late
last night to put on its opening per
formance of "Macushla."
Railroad authorities notified Will
iam T. Pangle, manager of the Hei'ig.
that the company would arrive at the
Union depot at 9 P. M. It was esti
mated that owing to a shortage of
trucks it might be nearly 10 o'clock
before the scenery and baggage could
be taken to the theater, and that the
uncertainty of continued car service
would not permit theatergoers to wit
ness a performance opening so late
and ending at midnight. A sold-out
house was counted upon. The seat
sale for Mr. Olcott has been unusually
heavy. The management announces
that all tickets purchased for Thurs -
day evening s performance will be
honored and exchanged for any of the
three other performances if offered
before 5 o'clock this evening at the
Heilig. . .
"Macushla" will open tonight. It is
an Irish comedy, in which Mr. Olcott
will be heard in four new songs.
CREAMERY MEN ACCUSED
Charge of Profiteering Filed
Against Denver Companies.
DENVER. Colo.. Dec. 11. Charges
involving 13 counts and alleging prof
iteering in the dairy business were
filed in the office of District Attorney
William E. Foley today by Deputy
State Dairy Commissioner Nevius
against the Farmers & Merchants'
Creamery company and the Climax
Dairy company. Both companies do
business in Denver and are charged
with manipulating the reading of but
terfat tests to the hurt of the seller
of cream.
The district attorney said the mat-!
ter would be placed before the grand
jury, which is now in session, and
that the cases will likely come up
for consideration at the present term
of the county court. - - -

company of men, both office holders
and unofficial advisers, whose mem
bers have from time to time removed
themselves from the White House In
ner circle. With .the reputed break
between the President and Colonel
House still fresh in the public mind,
the reports of differences between
Mr. Wilson and the secretary of state
over the Mexican situation take on
an increased interest and contribute
to speculation over the circumstances
which may lead to Mr. Lansing's res
ignation. Many Leave Wilson.
Prominent among those who sev
ered relations with the administra
tion are William J. Bryan, Mr. Lan
sing's predecessor; George Harvey,
the publisher, who was destined to
become one of Mr. Wilson's harshest
critics; William F. McCombs, former
chairman of the democratic national
committee, and Lindley M. Garrison,
one-time .secretary of war. Mr. Bry
an's resignation took placo in 1915
during an international crisis and Mr.
Lansing, then counsellor of the state
department, was named to succeed
him.
Relations between the White House
and the new secretary of state re
mained amicable enough until the
days of the peace conference at Ver
sailles. It developed that Mr. Lan
sing and the president were not In ac
cord over the Shantung clause, which
later became one of the storm centers
of the treaty fight in the senate.
Testifying before a senate committee,
the secretary of state said he op
posed the grant of the peninsula to
Japan.

to stand firm for a definite prepared

then secretary of war fought vigor
ously to this end, but the culmination
of the incident brought defeat and his

Wilson supporters, broke with the
president some time after he entered
the White House and this breach "has
only widened as time went on. The

"JUST PRICE" IS PURPOSE
Plans Drafted at Spokane Session
for Incorporation of Ware-

SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) Co-operative selling of all
wheat controlled by members of the
Farmers union in Oregon, Idaho and
Washington was decided on at the
meeting of the Farmers' union of
Washington and Idaho which closed
its annual convention here today. A
tentative plan for the organization
of a selling association and a ware
housing corporation was. discussed.
and President A. A. Elmore was au
thorized to name a committee of 15
from the three states which will per
fect a plan to be submitted to the
farmers in the three states.
As outlined, the plans call for a
selling association which will handle
the stock and receive grain from the
farmers, and a warehousing organi
zation which will be Incorporated
ith common and preferred stock
to be sold for the purchase or con
struction of elevators and ware
houses. Farmers to Get Loams.
Every wheat grower who joins the
association will pledge himself for
a term of years, to be determined
later, to sell his wheat to the asso
ciation. The association will receive
the wheat and In turn deliver it to
the warehouse corporation, taking
in return receipts for the grain. These
receipts will then be taken to the
banks and an amount equivalent to
their face value will be borrowed
upon them, this amount In turn being
paid to the farmers. When the wheat
finally sold the farmer will Be
paid the difference between the loan
value which he has received and the
final selling price of the wheat.
Middleman Is Hit.
The tentative plan, which received
the unanimous indorsement of all the
delegates present. Is designed to
eliminate the middleman and to give
the farmer a Just price for his grain
as determined by the law of supply
and demand. It was explained, in
a conference with a number of bank
ers after the close of the meeting.
that it is not the intention of the
farmers to hoard or corner wheat,
but merely to get for the farmer a
Just selling price.
The committee to be named by Mr.
Elmore is expected at an early meet
ing to draft final plans which will
be submitted to all of the locals in
the three states affected. The ob
ject is ultimately to enlist the sup
port of farmers in other states to
adopt a similar plan.

Damage totaling thousands of dol
