Shop on Third Street Appeals to
Portland to Help Keep
Poor People Supplied.
Rags In bundles or sacks.
Rags of any color, shape or kind.
Just rags!
This is the appeal made yesterday
by Miss Helen Whitney, secretary of
the American Red Cross shop. Third
street.
"We have today a great market for
rags and we appeal once more to our
friends to keep the Red Cross shop
going," said Miss Whitney.
"With its all-volunteer sales force
the Red Cross shop is making a hand
some revenue for the after-the-war
work of the American Red Cross, but
we need goods of all kinds to keep the
shop going.
"In addition to rags we need books.
magazines. bundles of newspapers
and, of course, old clothes of every
description. We sell these at low
prices. The Red Cross gets the
money.
"If our old friends will rally again
around the Red Cross shop we shall
be enabled to keap going.
"We shall be delighted to send out
the Red Cross truck on receipt of tele
phone calls to Main 66S9.
"Not only is the Red Cross bene
fitcd by donations in kind, but there
is a great advantage in poor persons
being enabled to buy used clothing of
all kinds at a price they can afford.
"I trust that Portland will answer
liberally this appeal."
KNIGHTS BAZAAR SUCCESS
Fund

Cluhhonse Swelled.
Xen
Dr. William P. White, regional di
rector of the Moody Bible school of
Chicago occupied the pulpit of the
wnite Temple, First Baptist church,
yesterday morning and evenintr. He
is in Portland In connection- with the
Moody Bible conference, which is to
be conducted during the coming
month at the White Temple and for
wnicn other prominent church lead
ers are coming later this week.
"The Authority of the Bible" wai
Dr. White's subject yesterday morn
ing. He said in part:
"We believe the Bible is the only
infallable rule of faith and conduct.
By rule, of faith we mean what man
is to believe concerning God. By
rule of conduct we means the duty
uoa requires or men. tsy iniaiiaoie
we mean that tho Bible is without
mistake. When we say it is the "only
rule," we mean that there is no other.
We reject the infallable church and
the infallable ego and accept an in
fallable holy spirit speaking through
the printed word.
- "To call men back to a belief in
the Bible is the most patriotic duty
of the hour. If Germany bad held
to the Bible of old Martin Luther our
boys would not be sleeping today on
the fields of France.
We believe that the Bible is from
God; first, because of the testimony
of Jesus Christ; second, because it is
free from scientific error; third, be
cause of its supernatural unity and
faith, because of its adaptability.
Old Testament Authority.
'Jesus put tho stamp of his author
ity on the Old Testament. He ap-
roved the Genesis story. He said
that Moses wrote of him. He put his
K. upon the story of the flood.
Lot's wife, destruction of Sodom, the
story of Jonah and the great fish, the
book of Daniel. In his temptation in
the wilderness he quoted from the
ook of Deuteronomy and the devil
believed in his quotations and fled.
There are some people who beat the
devil at doubting scripture.
One of three things must be true:
There are mistakes in the Old Testa
ment and Jesus did note it. In that
case the destructive critics know
more than Jesus Christ, or there are
mistakes in the Old Testament, and
knowing it did not correct the
belief of the people. In this case the
destructive critics are more honest
than Jesus, or, there are no mistakes
and Jesus was right when he said:
They testify of me
Is it not a strange tiling mat
there are no scientific blunders in
the Bible? It was written at a time
when learned men believed in all
kinds of scientific nonsense. But the
Bible teaches that the earth is round.
The Bible teaches the circulation of
the blood. The Bible is up with the
latest astronomy, and as to geology,
you can put all the fossils (except
some of the modern ones) between
the first and second verses of the
first chapter of Genesis. The evolu
tion theory has never been proven,
and the Genesis story is the most
natural and believable story in print.
Written by many human authors,
and covering a period of two hundred
rs in its proportion, we rind, not a
single disagreement. It is one book.
The first live books constitute me
foundation. From Joshua to Esther
reveals the history of an organiza
tion. The poetical books might be
call asniration. The Prophets are
books of expectation. Matthew, Mark, )
Luke and John tell us of the mani
festation. The Acts and Epistles tell
us of realization ana toe iasi oook
shows the consummation. In all it is
one story of Paradise lost to Para
dise won.
Bible Adapted to Onr "eed.
We need a revelation. We want to
know about God. The Bible tells us.
We want to know if Godi forgives sin.
Plato said: 'It may be that the gods
can forgive sin, but how I cannot
tell.' The Bible tells. The Bible tells
us the love of God toward the sinner.
the tempted, the weary, the broken
hearted.
The Bible tells us what a man
is worth Without its revelation we
must take every man at his commer
cial value. But it is from the Bible
we get: 'God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son.
Herein Is love, not that one loved
God but God loved us and sent His
son to be the propitiation for our
ins. The Bible tells us where we are
going. We go to neaven or neit. it all
depends upon our relationship to
Jesus Christ.
The finest words ever epoken by
infidelity at a funeral was spoken
by lngersoll over the body of his
brother. But God's, book reveals that
life is more than a 'barren waste be
tween the cold and iceland peaks of
two eternities. The Bible fits into
my empty heart. It reveals to me a
glorious hope. It gives me the faith
of old Roland Hill when he said:
"When I am to die,
'Receive me, I'll cry.
For Jesus loves me,
I cannot tell why!

is about to be realized- This mem
bership programme was inaugurated
with the coming of the new pastor.
Dr. C. W. Huett.
Dr. Huett spoke yesterday morning
on "The Brevity of Human Life," tak
ing the 12th verse of the 90th psalm
as a text. He said that the world
was full of would-be advisers from
the cross-roads loafer to the idling,
parisitic rich man, all of whom seemed
to feel they had a cure for the ills
that afflict human life. He claimed
Moses, the writer of the psalm as
one well qualified to advise, citing his
40 years as a prince in Egypt with
the best educational advantages of
the world at that time, his 40 years in
the -deserts of Midian with abundant
time for reflection and comparison,
which enabled him to get at the
things in life worth while. His last
40 years a great emancipator and law
giver, as well as a religious teacher,
thus giving him every angle of hu
man life and he prayed "So teach
us to number our days that we may
apply our hearts unto' wisdom."
Dr. Huett spoke of the time epent
In childhood a helpless charge upon
others, of old age with its disabilities
and feebleness, of the time spent in
sleep and for the adversities of civil
ized life with sickness, accident and
disease cutting down the time avail
able for productive labor, drawing the
conclusion that one needed to be up
and doing in order to accomplish any
thing worth while.
He cited a number of examples In
religious, civil and commercial life to
show what could be done and exhorted
his hearers to use well the heritage of
time and talent God had given them.
In the evening Dr. Huett spoke on
"Skeptics and Specters." using Luke
16:30 as a text, drawing from this
wonderous picture the savior gave, the
real lesson that we have now an op
portunity and ability to do work well-
pleasing to God and that if we do not
use them as sane and sensible neoDle
should we will be skeptics looking
for specters instead, followers after
that which is good seeking light and
help out of a proper use of the re
sources at hand.
The welcome meeting for the new
pastor was given in the church Tues
day evening. October 12. and was
well attended.
The year starts off well. The Sun
day school under the able leadership
of Dr. J. Earl Else has set 500 as a
proper mark in attendance on the ses
sions of the school and over 300 are
already there. The Epworth League,
Mission Study class. Ladies' Aid are
all well officered and -at work, and
Rose City Park Methodist Episcopal
church is a busy place with splendid
promise of becoming busier as days
go by.
The pastor's wife at the recent an
nual convention of the Columbia
river branch of the W. F. M. S. of
the M'ethodist Episcopal church, was
elected corresponding secretary and
is now in Philadelphia attending the
executive meeting where all the work
of that great missionary organiza
tion for the ensuing year is planned.

DR. JIcELVEEV SCORES ADAM
Half of Guilt Charged to Wife,
Even Today, Says Pastor.
"Inability to see and state the exact
facts was almost the first sin. It was
a sin for Adam to eat the forbidden
fruit, but he displayed even more de
pravity in the mean way in. which he
sneaked from under the burden of his
guilt by charging- half of it upon his
wife and the other half for giving
him such a wife. Many modern Adams
are doing the same contemptible
trick," said Dr. W. T. McEleveen in
his sermon on 'The Virtue of Being
Single-Eyed," at the F'rst Congrega
tional church yesterday morning.
His text was Matthew 6:22, ."If
Thine Eye be Single." He said in part:
"This phrase is not to be interpreted
physically. It is strange that though
we have two eyes we see but a single
circle of vision. The text refers to
not an ocular derangement, but to an
inner mental and moral crookedness.
We use the same simile today. When
we say that a man is not disposed to
look us straight in the eye we mean
that he suffers not from some optical
difficulty, but that there is some sort
of moral obliquity within him. We
mean that his crookedness is not so
much in his glance as in his character.
"It is not easy to be mentally honest
and sincere. Many have dexterous
rather than sincere minds. They can
so adroitly use words as to ridicule
or to otherwise confound an honest
but not so shrewd neighbor. Most
men's minds are cut on a bias. They
approach an important theme with
preconceptions ana personal pre
judices. They seldom allow their
minds to work out their own honest
conclusions. They first fix on the
conclusion they desire and then they
prod their minds or slow them down
until their minds have arrived at tlie
desired conclusion. It is a truism
that there are great Issues before the
neoDle in this presidential campaign
Yet no one would suspect it from
hearing many political speeches. Many
people boast of their patriotism when
they are only sillily partisan. They
are as full of prejudice as a good egg
is of nutriment. They don t want to
know the truth; they want to listen
only to affirmations that will fortify

'FOOIi PROPOSITIONS" TOLD
Proposed Election Measures-'heme
of Minister's Sermon.
In speaking last night at the First
Methodist church on "Some Fool
Propositions," Dr. Stansfield took
a text Psalms xiv:l, "The fool hath
cairi In bis heart there is no God." an
Proverbs xvii:24, "The eyes of" a fool
are in the ends of the earth, an
Proverbs xiv:3. "Fools make a mock
at sin." and Luke xii:20, "Thou fool.
this night shall thy soul be required
of thee." He said:
"I presume you will expect me to
sav something on some or the tool
nronositions that are before the Ore
gon voters in the election next week.
In Oregon, with the initiaUve and ret
erendum laws, fool propositions are
easily flaunted and their number is
legion. Oleomargarine legislation,
sine-le-tax cure-all and anti-vaccina
tion amendments, etc, all of which
are an offense to good sense ana zut
century intelligence. The anti-vacci
nation proposition, in its presen
sweeniner terms, especially so. To en
act that 'no form of vaccination, in
oculation or medication shall be
compulsory in times of epidemic of
contagious diseases would be seri-
usly to jeopardize and endanger pub
ic health from such diseases as diph-
heria, smallpox, lockjaw, bubonic
plague, cholera or syphilis, and if
there could not be quarantine and en
forced detention, then persons infected
with smallpox, scarlet fever, diph
theria, syphilis, measles or leprosy
might sit by your side in churches,
schools, trains and cars, and public
health organizations for your bene
fit would be powerless to protect you.
The anti-compulsory vaccination
amendment is a most dangerous and
far-reaching 'fool proposition' before
us today. It is earnestly hoped and
believed that the intelligent citizen
ship of Oregon will so overwhelm-
ngly vote 313 no that the fool prop
osition and fad may threaten us no
further.
'But the greatest fool propositions
of all are in personal life and con
duct. 'The fool hath said in his heart
there is no God' ... 'Fools de
spise wisdom and instruction' . . .
Fools make a mock of sin . . .
and live their life accordingly. Deny-
ng or ignoring God and religion and
sin and righteousness, their way is
folly and their end death."

TILLAMOOK COO'TV CREAMERY ASSOCIATION
T enty-four Cheese factories
W. It. Chrlntenen, President
Carl Haberlach, Secretary-Salesman
At the last meetinar of the directors of th Tillamook County
Creamery Association, "a resolution was adopted that the Asso
ciation go on record as opposed to the Market Commission Bill,
appearing on the November ballqf.
The proDOsed bill would nut marketlne control of Tillamook
Cheese in the hands of a political appointee, over whom the
farmers here would have no control.
The farmers have their own ideas of what this might mean.
The writer has spent over seventeen years assisting the farm
ers In building up an organization and a reputation for Tillamook
uneese.
The proposed bill would undo a lot of our work, and we would
have no more control of our own affairs than the man in the
moon.
Can vol wonder that Tillamook farmers are un in arms and
doing everything they can to oppose this bill?
We believe in co-operative marketing, the selling of a' product
by the people producing same; we do not believe in state control
in any manner, form or shape. If the proposed bill provided for
a voluntary submission, it would not be so bad, but this bill
provides for heavy fines in case we did not submit to dictation.
WE THINK THAT THE PEOPLE OP OREGON SHOULD DE
FEAT THIS BILL and if the farmers desire, an effort should
be made to get the legislature to enact a bill, after hearing all
parties interested. .
We know who originated this bill, and while they are a lot
of good men, this bill, in their case, is altogether gratuitous,
and is intended as a work to fight the Non-Partlsan League.
The Non-Partisans are trying to do what this bill Intends do
ing STATE CONTROL OF PRIVATE EFFORT.
My experience during all these years has taught me that
marketing a product of the soil is anything but a philanthropic
proposition it is a cold-blooded business proposition in every
sense.
It takes a lot more than drawing up a bill for people to vote
upon, promulgating a constitution and set of by-laws, to make
a successful co-operative venture. Possibly a thousand concerns
have been started where you could count the really successful
ones on the fingers of one hand.
In order to get a successful organization, you have to have real
management and co-operation from every one interested. Other
wise you will go against the rocks every time. ! think ft can.
be said that 'illlamonk Is probably the most successful co
operative venture in Oregon; it has stood the test of years And
is riinninir smoothly. And our-DeODle are altogether against thia-
measure, because tl).ey do not want to lose control of their own
atlairs. .
The bill provides for an appropriation of $50,000.00, salary of
iouu.ouior director; secretary at 3bU0.0U, and attorney rees
without limit. It would, of course, be much easier to get an
attorney on the terms mentioned than a good man for market
It would take a veritable Moses to lead the tjeonle as this
bill proyides, but so far, we have heard of no Moses who might
De in signi. Any marKet director should De somewnat in con
trol of the Parties or interests whose nroduct he is to control.
In no instance should he be under political control, which is too
- It is known that California products were successfully sold
co-operaiiveiy long Deiore iney naa a marKet commissioner.
Their first commissioner was a press agent unto himself; 1
have never heard the name of his successor.
No. we are opposed to this bill from self-interest and because
we tnink, attogetner, the Dill is unwise. Plausible arguments
are put forward for co-operative marketing and a lot of it
sounds good, but IT IS SIMPLY AN ENTERING WEDGE FOR
THE NON-PARTISAN IDEA. STATE CONTROL OF PRIVATE
Tours very truly,
(Signed) CARL HABERLACH, Secretary.

By Businessmen-
Resolution passed by Oregon State Retail Merchants Association.
It appears to us that the enactment of the "State Market
Commission" bill would be more productive of expense to the
taxpayers, than ojf any real benefits to them, and in state, in
nation, and in town ancl country, we appear to be agreed that
Caxes should be lowered rather than raised, and this can never be
realized if we continue to increase the army of government em
ployes, with not only their salaries, but with their varied expenses.
The way is wide open now for co-operative efforts among
producers or among consumers. No further legislation is
required, therefore, to enable any who wish to participate in
such efforts to do so.
