( hrisr Favored mn Leader.
"It has been suggested that all the
Christian elements of the world
should march under a single leader.
I nominate for that leadership Jesus
. Christ. With him as the single, su
preme commander of all Christendom,
the hosts of Christianity may march
proudlv and successfully onward in
one unified phalanx. When every
Christian bows before h,im we shall
have a united Christianity, and not
before then.
"There are many examples in our
own dav where Christ has appeared
to those in great distress as a shin
ing image, real to the senses and in
spiring, yet ever as a spiritual force.
An incident illustrating this was
brought to me by a young railroad
engineer in my home town. In a
head-on collision of his train and an
other both his legs were cut off. At
this moment, when all seemed black

image of the Christ appeared to him

been that of his own mother or

"There are many examples in the

Ir Farr in the course of his address
on "The View of Christ."
"The" story of Klijah and Elisha is
an inspiring study. Klisha was the
servant, the valet, of Klijah. Yet in
his vaulting ambition he asked his
master to treat him as. a first-born
son. The firat-born son. according to
the laws of the time, should receive
a double portion of his father's goods
When Klijah departed his mantel fell
on Elisha, and the latter truly re
ceived a double portion, for It is re

DEf ACLTHKS ARE DEXOCXCED
Dr. Joshna StansHeld Reproves
I nfalthful Stewards.
At the First Methodist church yes
terday morning, in speaking on the
subject of Christian stewardship, Dr.
Joshua Stansfield. who had an
nounced a sermon on defaulters, took
as text Luke xvi:3, "Give an account
of thy stewardship," and Luke xviii:
12. "I give tithes of aii I possess." He
said:
There is nothing worse in human
conduct and character than to be un
true to a great trust. To be a de
faulter in the confidences and trusts
of men is one of the basest sins of
life. When a man is untrue to the
love and confidence of a good woman
the turpitude of sin Is not in his per
sonal vileness. but In the treachery of
the trust and love of his wife.
"Whenever in financial affairs a
bank or trust company or bond house
betrays the trust of the people there
is the deepest contempt for and hot
test Indignation against the defaulter,
btcadse be has betrayed a great trust.
He has wronged the confidences of
people.
"All that we have in life that is
worth the having and all that-we are
that is worth the being we have from
God. It is all a divine patrimony.
" 'He gave unto one man five tal
ents, to another two, to another one;
to every man according to his several
ability
"All that we have of native ability
and of acquired power and posses
sions we have from him. God is the
great giver of life and all its powers,
potentialities and possessions. 'It is
God that giveth thee power to get
wealth.'
"We are not owners, but posses
sors, and in our possessing we are
stewards; we have it all in trust of
God, and every life is accountable to
him. . . 'Give account of thy
stewardship.' . . . , 'I give tithes
of all I possess.' . . '. What a fine
thing that is to give to God a tithe
of all we possess.
"There are some professed Chris
tians who do not give a tithe of any
thing they possess to God. They oc
casionally give to a collection a little
out of what they may chance to have
by them, but they do not give a first
part a tithe of even their money.
They do not accept the Christian doc
trine of stewardship at all."

SERMOX FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
"Honor Thy Father and Mother"
Is Pastor's Topic.
Rev. M. A. Cbristensen, pastor of Our
Savior's Lutheran church, preached a
special sermon for young people yes
terday morninn, taking as his text
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother."
He said In part:
"In the other commandments of the
decalogue we find the direct en
joinder thou shalt, or thou Shalt not.
But this one has a promise attached
to it. 'Honor thy father and thy
mother, that it may be well with
thee.'
"The Bible gives many examples
Joseph honored his father and
mother; be was beloved ajad pros
pered. It went well with him. Absa
lom dealt hard with David, his father,
and go; his reward. There is no
finer gift under heaven to parents
than a dutiful, honorable son or
daughter. It makes the humblest
home a palace and is the right re
ward for their care and patience. But
it is also true that there Is no sorrow
go keen and sympathetic as that of
disappointed parents. It Is Indeed a
sorrow 'more bitter than the serpent's
tooth.'
"Only the other day one of our
citizens paraphrased the Bible In this
manner: 'The father of a foolish son
dieth hard. For what is a man prof
ited If he gain the whole world and
lose his son? Or what will a man
give in exchange for his son? A
New York millionaire declared, "The
most expensive, luxury a rich man
can have is one bad boy.'
"Thousands of famili in our land
today are casting about for somebody
that will do for their children what
frugality and religion did for them in
years gone by. Happy the homes
where Christ is welcomed and adored.
He was indeed obedient and he can
change the human heart from sin and
disobedience to love and loyalty. Let
Portland's fine boys and girls not
forget the old commandment. There
by will they bring upon themselves
and their parents heaven's richest reward."

Rev. Kdnaril Constant 1 -limine-
Value of Steadfast Life.
"Stand Fast in the lyord was the
text of a sermon on "The Value of
a Steadfast Life," preached at the
Highland Congregational church yes
terday by Rev. Edward Constant, who
found manly vigor and the ring of
sincerity in the utterances of Paul
whom he characterized as a man of
iron will and determination.
Rev. Mr. Constant said that "It was
no wonder that such a man left his
mark upon the world. Without de
termination no character can be
really strong. Where there is strong
decision of character, even tho so
called little man becomes a power
for good. The man of firmness is not
to be swayed by opinion or fashion
He beHeves he has round the truth
and abides by it. He has a tight
clasp of what he deems to be right
He is no policy-monger and never
barters truth for a mess of pottage
His spirit reminds you of the t'ree
soiler Garrison rather than of the
celebrated vicar of Bray.
"Yet steadfastness js not synony
mous with standpatlsm or intoier
ance. lour genuine man is open-
minded, stands facing the light, is in
the line of progress and has respect
for those who differ from him. He
partakes of the generosity of the.
Lord. Such characters remind you
not of the immovable boulder so
much as of the deep-rooted and
grQwing tree which holds its head
magnificently in the storm. Only he
of shallow mind fancies that he is
the sole repository of truth."

DISCOVERY OF SELF ADVISED
"Some Divine Discoveries," Subject
of Rev. Gallagher's Sermon.
"Some Divine Discoveries" was the
subject yesterday morning of a ser
mon by Rev. T. H. Gallagher at Sun
nyside Methodist church. He said in
part :
"One of the needs of the present
age is that men and women should
discover themselves, their possibili
ties and powers, their opportunities
and advantages, their weaknesses
and inabilities. What is life but a
process of discoveries? We discover
our bidden or unused physical powers

OL.YMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 9. (Spe
cial.) With few absentees to be noted
when the gavel falls at noon tomor
row convening tne Washington legis
lature in 17th regular session, organi
zation in both branches will be ef
fected with little delay.
With the selection of Representative
Guie of King county for speaker of
the house assured soon after the gen
eral election and the choice of Sen
ator Taylor of King for president pro
tern of the senate, decided upon sev
eral weeks ago by a majority of sen
ate members, the work of organiza
tion has been continued and there will
be few changes in the personnel of
the house and senate officials or
clerical staff.
Officials re Chosen.
Victor Zednlck of Seattle will again
be secretary of the senate and Charles
R. Maybury of Seattle chief clerk of
the house. A. V. Calder of Vancouver
is again assistant chief cleric in the
house and George Harrigan, minute
clerk. Herbert H. Sleler of Lewis
county will be assistant secretary or
the senate and Dan McCush sergeant-
at-arms.
The house will oritur upon its work
without the usual preliminary caucus,
but the senate went into caucus at 3
o'clock tonight to consider the formu
lation of a programme for the opening
sessions.
The senate elected senator Taylor
of King president pro tem, Victor
Zednlck of Seattle secretary, and Dan
McCush of Belli ngham sergeant-at-a
r m s. Lieutenant - Governor - elect
Coyle presided over the caucus, which
carried out the programme outlined
without a dissenting voice. A com
mittee on patronage was named to
select other employes and will report
to the senate Monday.
Some Delay Fxperted.
While there will be some delay in
getting down to actual work in the
legislature, due to the ceremonies in
cident to the inauguration of Gov
ernor Hart and the induction of other
state officials Into office, once the
formal preliminaries are concluded in
dications are that measures will be
introduced that will start interesting
developments immediately.
Members of the educational code
commission announced tonight that
the measure prepared by the commis
sion proposing radical changes in the
state school code had been drafted
into final form and the commission
planned to have the measure intro
duced on the first day for the intro
duction of bills. This plan. If fol
'owed by the commission, will open
the way for what is generally expect
ed to be one of the hard-fought leg
islative battles of the session.
That the enactment of the proposed
"blue -sky" legislation, designed to
protect the investing public from
worthless stocks and securities, will
not be accomplished without opposi
tion, was indicated this afternoon
when, at an informal gathering of
the legislature, Sidney Norman of
Spokane, editor of Mining Truth and
representative of the Northwest Min
ing association, attacked the proposed
legislation as contemplated in two
King county measures, basing his op
position upon the assertion that the
measures as proposed would destroy
the spirit of venture and eventually
result in crippling and in time de
stroying the development of the nat
ural resources of the state.
posits and equipment amount to more
than $10,000,000. and the development
of the fields constitutes an impor
tant industry of the northwest, ac
cording to Senator Johnson.
Lists of committee assignments
have been completed, ready for an
nouncement Monday. It was under
stood that the senate caucus might
authorize the lieutenant-governor to
announce the committees on the open
ing day of the session, although as a
newly-elected state official the lieutenant-governor
will not formally
take office until Wednesday. There
was a general feeling, whether based
upon anything more than mere specu
lation or not, that there would be no
radical shifting of committee chair
manships, as far as the old members
are concerned.
Senator Smith of Snohomish, chair
man of the senate appropriations com
mittee at the last session, is not in
the senate this session, and it was
practically conceded that Senator
Wray of King, ranking member of
the committee, will succeed to the
chairmanship. It was also understood
that Senator Hall of Whitman will
again be chairman of the important
road and bridges committee.
M'CLEAflY ADMITS GUILT
SECOND SOLDIER CONFESSES
SHARE EV ROBBERIES.
NEW SHOW!
TODAY TILL
FRIDAY
ONLY!
Patrolman Simpkins Says He Will
Contest Suspension for Al
leged Cowardice.
Except for the fact that neither
will admit firing the army auto
matic at the pursuing patrolmen, both
Walter McCleary and Boyd Ellis, sol
diers, who turned street, bandits in
Portland early Friday night, made
complete confessions yesterday to
Lieutenants of Inspectors Uoltz and
Moloney.
McCleary admitted his ruTl share in
taking a taxicab from E. C. Larson
and the robbery of the Broadway Inn
garage, but inisted tnat tins aia me
shooting. Ellis confessed to his par
ticipation in the crime Saturday, but
insists that McCleary used the pistol.
Both are held without bail on charges
of highway robbery.
Patrolman Simpkins, who. with Pa
trolman Skoglund. was suspended by
Mayor Baker a few hours after the
crime on charges of cowardice, an
nounced yesterday he would contest
his removal from the police force. He
denies absolutely the charge that he
displayed cowardii-e or a "yellow
streak" in his pursuit of the bandits.
The confessions of both Ellis and
McCleary seem to indicate that Simp
kins followed them alone to the edge
of Sullivan's gulch after Skoglund
had remained in the rear. . Neither
soldier went Into the gulch as street
sweepers told Patrolman Simpkins.
Simpkins said yesterday he had fol
lowed the two men until he lost sight
of them. After he was told they had
gone into Sullivan's gulch he said he
went back and instructed Skoglund to
telephone headquarters for reinforcements.
Substitution Is I'rged.
If the legislature deems the enact
ment of legislation of this character
necessary, Norman urged the substi
tution of the so-called Spokane bill,
which provides for full publicity of
corporation affairs and creates a
commissioner of corporations under
the supervision of the secretary of
state, with power to investigate cor
porations engaged in offering stocks
and securities for sale and author
ised to initiate court action against
those concerns engaged in operations
tending to defraud the public
At this meeting Senator Johnson of
Stevens announced his purpose to
introduce a resolution memorializing
the United States senate to approve
the house bill providing for a tariff
on foreign magnesite.
Senator Johnson declared that since
the war the largest known fields of
magnesite in the world have been
developed in Stevens county.
