The Drama league will begin Its 1920 pro gramme tonight when Miss Ellen Van Volkenburg (Mrs. Maurice Brown) will appear in her dramatic interpre tation of "Alice Sit by the Fire," by Sir J. M. Barrie. Miss Van Volken burg's interpretation is unusual in that she takes the part of every character in the play, following out the action of the drama to the small est detail. Her characterization of Kthel Barrymore, who created this role in America, is startlingly life like, even to the intonations of her voice. Legion to Hear Reports.

CONDEMNS EXTRAVAGANCE Dr. Frank Wemett Says Neglect of Nation's Needs Means Bain, "The day of the cheap optimist and the partisan alarmist is passing," said Dr. Frank Wemett, pastor of the Centenary Methodist church in his sermon yesterday morning on "Amer ica's Most Imperative Need." "Never theless, it is painfully evident to every clear-visloned observer that se rious ills afflict our country at the present time." he continued. "The gravity of the situation becomes in creasingly apparent as one pursues the study of existing conditions. Sporadic outbreaks of discontent and disorder, widely prevalent and alarm ingly frequent,, indicate a deranged system and a deep-seated disease. We have been swatting mosquitoes with indifferent success. It is high time that we set about the serious business of draining the swamps! The fact stares us in the face that America today is suffering from certain ele mental needs, the neglect of which spells the downfall of the nation. "America needs a revised standard of living. We are adrift upon the wild sea of extravagance. Not con servation, but possession. Is the pre vailing motive. Intoxicated with the lust for things, wei fail to heed the hastening judgment of tomorrow. Soaring prices, however problematic al, are but an incident. The real menace to the average family is the cultivation of a mode of living that sooner or later becomes Insatiable. The most serious aspect of the situ ation, however, is the portentious fact that. God is forgotten, and his right eous laws are violated with impunity. Again. America, sorely needs a re vival of justice. The administration of law nowadays is a frequent occa sion for ridicule. No doubt modern conditions have imposed great diffi culties upon our inflexible court ma chinery, for which due allowance ought to be made. But the deeper fact is that we need impartial and incorruptable men upon the bench. It is generally conceded that th"e rich and poor do not stand upon an equal rooting betore the law in America to day. This incongruous condition breeds widespread discontent and af fords plausible occasion for the prop agation of unAmerican doctrines. Un fortunately, the majority of our judges and lawyers view the situation with indifference. Radical changes soon must take place or there will be a general uprising to right an insuf ferable wrong." . LAZZARLSEAT SALE.

' r m M PASTOR BRAPiUS Ml NATURE'S ONLY FDDL Rev. George H. Bennett Re views Shortcomings. CAUSE OF UNREST .SEEN Education in Christian Morals Is ' Held Need of World ; Duty of Home and School Told. "Man the Only Fool in' Nature," was the subject chosen yesterday morn ing by Rev. George H. Bennett, pas tor of the Patton Methodist church, as the subject for his sermon. "Man is endowed with the largest brain of all creatures, with reason in the ascendancy over brute instinct, and conscience as a moral guide, yet, after all, man is the only earthly creature that plays the fool," said Rev. Mr. Bennett. "Bird and beast, guided by instinct and with reason a subordinate factor in shaping- their lives, follow the way of wisdom. They are true to the light of nature, rear their offspring, observe laws of cleanliness, avoid unwholesome foods, turn away from poisonous drink, and do not make war on their own species. But man, with his superior powers, alone violates instinct, reason, con science and moral law and walks in the way of folly and self-destruction. "It is not enough that we obey our instincts only we would be mere animals; or that we be guided by reason alone we would develop an animal life of refined barbarity. Obedience to instinct, reason, con science and the moral law, only will lift mankind above barbarism. The lawless and godless cause the world's unrest and woe. Anarchists are not Christians. They need repentance and conversion. The world needs educa tion in Christian, morals. Begin with the children in the home and public school. It will ennoble human life. Moral science and good citizenship should be taught from the primary grade upward, as faithfully as arith metic and geography. Protestants, Catholics, Jews and pagans can agree that all be taught to be true to the light of the present age. It will re duce poverty, immorality, crime and war." DARIXG OF JESCS ADVOCATED Life Devoted to High Service, Says Rev. Edward Constant. "Coveted Aspirations" was the theme Rev. Edward Constant die cussed yesterday morning at the Highland Congregational church. "The figure of Jesus," said Rev. Mr. Constant, "confronts us at every turn in jne. All our experiences bring him tO US. Wa it r... -.. u ( i. common events and duties of every ' iucre-is no escape from him. He aDDroachM u. rvnm ail . ... - - - ... Mutwicia.

PLEASURE FOR YOUTH URGED Rev. A. A. Morrison Says Church Should Provide Entertainment. "There is no use wondering why young people don't go to . church the reason is obvious. Toung folks shy at churches, and especially church attendance, because they don't find what they want there. "Why go to a place that used to be a rendezvous for sour looks and needless austerity? The church now has a brighter outlook. It stands for worship, for true social enjoyment and democracy. It is a place of brightness, of cheerfulness. "The whole trouble sis that the young people we wish to -reach don't know that the modern church is a changed place, and that it is for them. It is our present task to make these young folks acquainted with these new conditions." The speaker was Dr. A. A. Mor rlson, who preached yesterday morn- MoreThan$6,150,000.00 New Business in 1919 We Thank You For this incomparable record, which has never been approached in Oregon before by any life insurance company, not even by our own wonderful record of 1918.

Exclusive Kuppenheimer House . in Portland MORRISON at FOURTH - ing in Trinity Bplscopal church on "The Young-People Problem." He mentioned incidentally that Trinity Episcopal church is "going in" for more community church life, espe cially among young people, and that a reception-dance will be tendered by Trinity church to the girls who wait on the tables in a Washington-street restaurant Friday night in the parish house. Nineteenth and Davis streets, and that other guests on this occa sion will be members of the Ameri can Legion and Canadian war veter ans. The programme will be of an entertaining nature. "When I was a little boy I was brought up in an attitude of sup pression," said the speaker. "I suf fered from needless austerity. I often flattened my nose against the window-pane of my room, longing to be with the happy boys outside at play. Can you wonder that children do not love a home of that sort? The same cold conditions in our own church life and in all church life must be watched and corrected." CONQUER MOODS, 1 ,IS PLEA Make New Year Real' New Year,' Says Dr. W.t T. .McEIveen. "Nineteen hundred twenty will not really be a new' year If you live it in the old way. It will only be a new year if you serve God and your fel lowmen in newness of spirit," said Dr. W. T. McEIveen yesterday morn ing at the First Congregational church. He spoke on the subject "Serving in Newness of Spirits" "Nothing wonderful is going to come to us by changing one figure in the date by which we describe this period of time. The change must be in ourselves. We must be more alert of mind, more alert of spirit if it is to be a new year. This won't be a new year unless you are a new you. It is always possible for you "to be come new. You can always renew your mind. Man's thoughts determine his moral climate and makes his life either a poisonous malarial marsh or a fragrant fruitful -garden. Milton expressed that idea when . hp said, "The mind is its own place and can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.' "One way to possess a new mind Is to have new ideas and new ideafs new thoughts and new outlooks. "And one may have a new con science. At least he may have ajfmore sensitive conscience. And we can be the master over our moods. Many ot us are the slaves of bad moods. When the grouchy mood or the petulant mood or the gloomy mood or the touchy mood is on, we have no power over it or over ourselves. These moods play the tyrant over us. To be a self, a person is to assert one's superiority over one's moods. And if we would be captains of our own ship and re fuse to let unhealthy moods domi nate us, we would make this a new year. . "Christianity creates in men clean hearts. It renews within them right spirits. It gives them new visions of God. new knowledge of their pos sibilities, a new baptism of the divine spirit, new discernments of duty and new acquisitions of moral power and of grace."

Insurance in Force ' $24,000,000.00 Home Office, Spokane R S A Sound Principle for people of moderate means who are anxious to make their money earn them more money, is to diversify -their in vestments as far as possible. In the homely, old-fashioned phrase, "don't put all your eggs into one basket." But the average individual does not know how many bonds of a given type would be best for him to purchase, or how to balance his investments so that they will bring him the best returns. That is one very good reason why the experienced investor always seeks ad vice from a reputable financial institu tion. How much more then must the ' inexperienced investor get competent advice.
