FIFTH YEKH IN CITY
tepid Growth Experienced by
Congregation.
JHURCH DUTY IS DEFINED
Saptist Pastor Declares Gospel
la Truly Spread by Mutual
Helpfulness of Members.
Services yesterday morning at East
Side Baptist church marked the be
ginning of the fifth year of the mln-c-try
of Dr. W. B. Hinson tn thia
church. Under his leadership the
congregation has had a remarkable
growth and the activities of the
church have been greatly extended
until it now is recognized as one of
f the leading churches of Portland.
Thirty-nine persons received the hand
' of fellowship at communion services
yesterday morning. Dr. Hinson took
as his sermon subject "The True
Church."
C hurra. Is Defined.
The new testament defines the
church as being the body of Christ.
And the body functions for the Christ
who in-dwells it." said the pastor.
'The head of the church is the Lord
Jeans whose body it is, and the bead
1 vital to the body and controls it.
So the church is under the dominance
of the Lord alone. And the Lord
cherishes his body, the church, there
fore the gates of the unseen can
never prevail against it. Necessarily
this church of God is one church. For
division in the body is the destruc
tion, or at least the mutilation of it,
and the body of Christ is complete.
And the members of this invisible
church are found in all the organiza
tions of Christians worshiping today.
But manifestly no such organization
has the right to claim to be the true
church of God, to the exclusion of all
outside its particular fellowship. For
we all know there are those in every
earthly sect that are not members of
Christ's body, and equally well do we
know there are the members of
Christ's body who are found in no one
so-caMed church, or indeed in any
church at alL
I ripple of the river, the cadence of

tain peaks are his sentinels, the flow
era. the fields, the valleys all testily
to his wonderful power.
God reveals himself in the boiy
book and portrays our needs and ne
ccssities, and humanity's weakne
today Is a lack of reverence and lm
portance of the book. It portrays the
effects of disobedience to a nation as
well as to the world. The unrest,
turmoil, contention, hatred and crime
today are largely caused by lack of
religious faith and living and we must
get back to the old book for guidance.
'God reveals himself through inai
viduals in the life they live through
him. He uses the best men and
women to lead the world forward.
While the churches have many lm
perfections, they are 'still the best
agency to lead the world to peace and
happiness.
"God reveals himself through tne
heart. If we fail to see him in na
ture. In books, in folks, he still speaks
to us through our conscience, conaon
in it the right and condemning tn
wrong, and if we will but follow the
dictates of the better inner man uoa
will finally lead us to him.'
REAJj FLEAS CItE DEPICTED
Church Members' Duty Enphaaized.
"Now the members of the body of
Christ should function for him, even
as the body of Jesus begged by Joseph
of Pilate had functioned for Jesus
during the days of his flesh. All ar
rested functioning or a cessation of
operativeness for the Lord may well
cause alarm in any one of us. For
through us the members of his body,
is he seeking to get his will done upon
the earth today. And in mutual help
fulness at home, and spreading the
evangel of the gospel abroad, we
carry out the purposes of the Lord
and execute the programme of the
king.
"The church as Paul teaches was
loved by the Lord Jesus, who gave
up himself for its life. And he ever
more desires its separateness from
the ungodly world; and would fain
make it unfit by its sanctified char
acter from alliances with evil, and at
the same time make it fit for the in
heritance of the saints of light. This
then is the purport of your baptism,
that you are separate from the unre
generated. and this you affirm at the
communion table that you belong to
the Lord himself. Believing these
facts of God's word has made this
Bast Side Baptist church what it is
today. And continuance in this faith
and practice will secure for us In the
year we commence now, even the
fifth year of the present pastorate,
such a record of service to God and
man as hitherto has been undreamed
of among us. Therefore let us sol
emnly consecrate our lives to the one
who surrendered his life for us, and
during the coming months keep step
with Jesus Christ our saviour and our
king."
LABOR
CALLED
BLESSING
.Work Should 'ot Be Regarded as
' Burden, Asserts Dr. Stansfield.
"God's Curse, and the Blessing of
Labor" was the subject of the morn
ing sermon yesterday by Dr. Joshua
Stansfield at First Methodist church.
"The finest and best products of
life are by labor," said Dr. Stanfield.
"In nature, in Industry, in art. in
commerce, in invention, in morals and
in religion, this is true. To the de
serving mind and the careful student
of life and things, this is so unfail
ingly true as to be known and recog
nized as one of the deetpest and wid
est laws of life. And if a law of life
then a law of God. for God is the
source and creator of all life and
universal laws . . . (In him we
live and move and have our being').
"The great universe in which we
find ourselves, az.d of which we are
a part. s the divine cosmos or order,
and its constitution and fundamental
laws are of God, and the law is holy,
lust and good. We read, 'Out of his
right hand went a fiery law, yea he
loved the people.' Ah, that is true of
all the fundamental laws of life.
They may be severe, exacting, inexor
able, nay even 'fiery,' but they are
beneficent and for human good . .
Tea. he loved the people.'
"Now this is fully true of the fun
damental law of labor and work. In
nothing has the blindness and per
verseness of human - life been seen
more than in the misreadings and at
tempted violations of the law of
work. Indeed, most persons at first
thought, have regarded labor as a
burden, a punishment, a curse. Many,
many there are who religiously and
piously regard labor as a curse of
God for man's sin. and they promptly
quote the Bible words of our text
"Cursed be the ground for thy sake.'
How much better if they would
underscore the latter part of these
words 'for thy sake,' and remember
that the ground was not cursed for
man's sin, so much as for man's
sake."
Happiness Part of Christian Truth
View of Rev. H. II. Griffis.
Speaking yesterday morning at the
First Christian church on the in
cusiveness of the gospel, the Rev.
Harold H. Griffis used for his text
a statement from Christ's sermon on
the mount: "Seek ye first the king
dom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things shall be added
unto you." The speaker emphasized
the thought that Jesus Christ was no
ascetic '
"It Is the prerogative of the Chris'
tian the real follower of Jesus Christ
to understand and appreciate and
enjoy happiness in all its variou
forms, whether it be pleasure of the
animal nature. Joy of the social na
ture, or blessedness of the spiritual
nature. The mission of Christ was
not to destroy the natural law, bu
to fulfill it. He taught that pleasure
is legitimate, a necessity growing out
of the very constitution of things,
yet it must not be made the first or
cMef object of life. Pleasure divorced
from truth and purity is always a
mocking lie.
"Our text provides for social hap
piness as well as mere personal ani
mal happiness. It means: 'Seek first
the welfare of others, which is always
an essential element of the kingdom
of God, and the Joys of true sociabll
ity shall be added unto you.' Christ
teaches that the best way to be happy
is to try to make someone else happy.
Here, as elsewhere, whosoever would
save his life shall lose it; but whoso
ever shall lose bis life for his broth'
er's sake shall find it. The great
trouble with the majority of us in
our quest of social happiness is that
we look for It in the wrong place.
We try to find it principally in the
selfish gratification or our own lusis,
when it is to be found only in min
istering to the well being of those
about us. This is the very essence
of what we mean in Christian phrase
ology by the power of the cross
it is the divine spirit of self-forget
fulness."
PASTOR CRITICISES IiAXSIXG
Dr. McEIvcen Says Statesman Did
Xot Believe in What He Signed.
"Mr. Lansing's much discussed book
is a sort of album in which many
word portraits of the characters of
both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing
are shown. Mr. Landing dissects Mr.
Wilson's character but in so .doing he
reveals his own. Both sets of por
traits show us men who might have
been great but who did some very
small things. There is no doubt but
President Wilson treated Mr. Lansing
very shabbily. And there is equally
no doubt that Mr. Lansing on more
than one occasion compromised with
his own conscience."
So said Dr. W. T. McEtveen last
night at the First Congregational
church. He said that Mr. Lansing's
book would be the most talked about
book of the month and Jiat it was
the roost Informing story of the Paris
peace conference, the treaty of Ver
sailles, and the covenant of the league
of nations. He prophesied that Mr.
Wilson would be compelled to write
a book to set forth his side of the
quarrel.
"Mr. Lansing," the Congregational
minister said, "confesses again and
again that he acted paradoxically.
Some of Mr. Lansing's critics say that
he acted hypocritically. They point
to the fact that he signed in behalf
of this nation a treaty of peace to
which he was personally opposed. He
signed on the dotted line in order
not to create an unfortunate situa
tion among the American peace com
missioners. But he never believed in
what he signed. Again and again Mr.
Lansing gave the prestige of his name
and posit'on to what he called 'mon
strous wrongs' that he personally
hated. Had he served his god and
humanity as he tried to serve his
party, the thinking men of the world
today would call him a great states
man. But now they must call him a
great temporizer."

PORTLAND SPIRIT LAUDED
"Church People Helpful, Congen
ial," Says Visiting Speaker.
Dr. S. S. Wyand. financial secretary
of Wesley college. Grand Forks, N. D..
occupied the pulpit of the Sunnyside
Methodist church yesterday and de
livered a practical sermon on "Life's
Fundamentals."
Dr. Wyand paid a tribute to Port
land and Sunnyside church when after
telling of the many prominent
churches he had visited in Minneap
olis, Denver. Pasadena and Los An
geles, he said. "In none of them do
I find a more friendly and helpful
spirit and people, nor a bigger work
nor a more definite programme being
carried out, and in none of these cities
do I find a more congenial, beautiful
homelike atmosphere than, in Port
land. "God reveals himself In so many
ways," said Dr. Wyand. "All nature
praises him, the music of the sea, lhs

15 Reasons Why You Should Send
Your Clothes to the Laundry
r '
fm, ECAUSE of the fact that the service rendered by the laundries is more ex-
l tensive and thorough than is generally known to the great majority of peo-
pie, we believe that the following will serve to establish not only a better
understanding of that service, but furnish both intelligent and specific
reasons why you should send your clothes to the laundry:
Cleanliness The rs principle of the laundries listed below is cleanliness. They provide for
the home or institution, the office or factory. Fresh linen in clean surroundings
lightens and brightens the day's work.
Convenience These laundries serve you at your convenience, calling for your soiled clothes
and returning them fresh and immaculate, without extra charge.
Sanitation They stand for perfect sanitation. This is the keynote of their success and, in
fact, the very foundation of their business.
Scientific The bleaches used are the result of scientific, experiment and test Chemists have
at last discovered a harmless bleach, free from injurious substances.
Carefulness These laundries specialize in care. Modern machinery features both care and
- thoroughness equally, the most fragile articles being given special treatment
Extreme care is given to the finish of articles. Noth
ing: short of the best satisfies- the laundry manage-
'The laundry is the housewife's greatest aid
as a time saver, thereby enabling her to de
vote her days to the more necessary work of the home.
i
The aim of these laundries is to serve you in every
way possible, and as promptly and effectively as is
Modernism

is based at the minimum.
Satisfaction The laundries desire
' satisfied customers. Be

Buying on a
Falling Market
On a falling market men and women
,buy prudently. Whether they wish
to purchase a pound of prunes or a
million-dollar estate they are inclined
to shop 'round a bit before investing.
In times like these they read news
paper advertising closely. It is their
market barometer.
It tells them what the shifts and
changes are in the world of merchan
dise. It tells of the new things that
will better supply old needs.
It tells of the new devices to raise
the efficiency of store, office or home.
It helps them to true thrift the
spending of their money wisely.
Newspaper advertising, always read,
is read more carefully and generally
today than ever before.
Newspaper advertisers are getting
results, because it is to the newspapers
that people with money to spend are
looking for advice.

but all are subject to the same physi
