Evangelism Keynote of Fervent
Addresses and Reports on
Religious Progress.
TURNER, Or., July 5. (Special.)
Though heralded as a "human
dynamo," a "volcano" and a fore
runner of the Fourth of July, these
terms were all declared too mild to
express the fiery zeal of Traverce
Harrison of Cincinnati, exponent of
personal evangelism," who three
times addressed the assemblage of
persons attending the 32d state con
vention of Christian churches yes
terday afternoon. Each time his ap
pearance was greeted with applause
and his final message was listened
to with the rapt attention that was
accorded his two previous addresses,
all of which were devoted to one
phase or another of the importance
of personal evangelism and the tre
mendous1 responsibility resting upon
every Christian man and woman to
do personal Christian work.
Prominent Men Speak.
The afternoon session was the
peer of any one session heretofore
held. Nationally-known speakers
on the programme besides Mr. Har
rison were Rev. C. J. Sharp of Ham
mond, Ind., and Rev. D. Emmett
Snyder of Indiana, each of whom
gave one or more addresses during
the period devoted to the school of
evangelism. Others who spoke were
t i. m r' . : . c i . . .3
Rev. J. J. Evans of Salem.
The first session of the leadership
training school held in the morning
was largely attended, and the va
rious courses enrolled an enthusi
astic group of pupils. These classes
will be held every morning during
the week. The teachers are Mrs.
Clara G. Esson, dean of the school;
Roy K. Roadruck of Spokane, re
gional secretary of religious educa
tion for the northwest district; Miss
Clara B. Hunt of Seattle and Rev.
Jesse M. Bader of St. Louis.
Viewing the work of the church
in the state of Oregon for the com
ing year in an optimistic manner,
Rev. Elijah V. Stivers, re-elected
president of the state board for the
fourth time in the business session
of the convention, stated he fully
expected this year to outclass in
every particular attempts previously
made.
Church Shows Progress.
The report of the state secretary,
C. F. Swander, showed a total of
$14,000 raised, 16 missionaries em
ployed and a considerable number
of additions to churches throughout
the state. He reported that in 1927
the churches in Oregon would cele
brate their diamond anniversary, us
that year would mark their 75th
annual meeting, and his recommen
dation that the intervening five
years be spent in a diamon'd anni
versary campaign with an objective
of $75,000 for Oregon missions, to
close with a diamond jubilee con
vention in 1927, met with hearty
and enthusiastic approval; The con
vention also approved the report of
the future work committee, which
recommended the adoption of the
state secretary's report, and partic
ularly emphasized the co-operation
of all the Oregon Christian churches
in the simultaneous evangelistic
campaign planned to begin on No
vember 25, this year.
Traverse Harrison was added to
the staff of teachers in the leader
ship training school and will con
duct the classes or young people's
division.
Missionaries Give Address.
An outstanding address was that
given by A. F. Hensey, Congo mis
sionary, who mentioned with pride
the seven missionaries who have
gone out to Africa from Oregon,
after being trained in the Eugene
Bible university, and when he pre
sented their greetings to the con
vention he was greeted with a burst
of applause.
The address of W. F. Turner of
Spokane, northwest superintendent
of missions, dealt with the missions
among the colored races, notably the
Japanese, Chinese and Indian mis
sions. The latter mission was es
tablished only a year ago on the
Yakima Indian reservation at White
Swan, Wasn. His address reached
a climax when he referred to the
recent tragic death of A. L. Shel
ton, missionary, who was murdered
by bandits while returning to his
field In Thibet.

Direct from three seasons with

auditorium in a season of musical
comedy.
Six feet of raw-boned man is

he is acting as official joy dis

FOURTH OF JULY FEATURES
SUCCESS AT TUALATIN.
Inter-Community Affair Proves
Strong Drawing Card for
Record Gathering.
TUALATIN, Or'., July 5. (Spe
cial.) Yesterday's celebration in
the Community club park was a
huge success and was distinguished
from most events of the kind by the
fact that each and every feature on
the programme was produced on
scheduled time.
The affair was an inter-community
one, being sponsored by the
Tualatin Community club, with the
co-operation of the Business Men's
club and the American Legion post
of Sherwood. Attendance ' ran as
high as 3500 during the day and the
crowd and the many automobiles
which brought the people were han
dled without confusion. Many fa
vorable comments were heard on
the parking method used.'
The feature of, the day was an
address by John' E. Gratke, vice
chairman of the 1925 world's fair
committee. Mr. Gratke's appearance
on the programme and probably a
little curiosity on the part of the
people as to just what- kind of a
place Tualatin is, brought many
Portland people. The general ver
dict, in both respects, was decidedly
favorable.
Band and other instrumental mu
sic, .as well as vocal music and the
usual athletic events, including a
snappy ball game, filled out the pro
gramme.
Engineers of Hill Interests Begin
Work From Tillamook End
to Aid Timber Men.
A complete new survey for the
proposed " Gales Creek & Wilson
River railroad line into Tillamook
is being made by the engineers of
the Hill lines. This survey, it has
been reported, is not being made at
this time with the idea of immediate
construction, but to give timber
holders accurate information as to
the ultimate location of the road so
that they may make plans for spur
tracks.
The proposed railroad .when even
tually completed will open for ex
ploitation purposes one of the most
valuable timber areas in the entire
northwest. For years companies
owning this timber have been mak
ing determined efforts to have
line constructed down the Wilson
river so that they might have an
outlet for their logs.
When the Hill lines, several
months ago, exercised an option and
bought out the Gales Creek & Wil
son River line they decided that the
line that had been previously pro
posed and surveyed was not in keep
ing with their ideas for a perma
nent road. As a consequence a new
survey was ordered and the en
gineers and surveyors started work
from the Tillamook end of the line
yesterday.
Local officials of the Hill inter
ests would make no comment rela
tive to the survey that is now going
on, when questioned last night.

SLAYERS GET LAST AID
Injunction to Prevent Hanging of
Rathie and Kirby Sought.
An injunction against the execu
tion of John Rathie and Elvin D1.
Kirby, condemned to die tomorrow
for the murder of Sheriff Til Tay
lor of Pendleton two years aeo. w'll
be asked by their attorney, Charles
w. Garland, of the federal judges
here on the grounds that confes
sions were obtained from the men
by the use of ammonia and other
"inhuman methods.
Mr. Garland has just returned
from Washington, D. C, where he
attempted to get the United States
supreme court to grant a stay of
execution on the grounds of "in
human" methods used in obtaining
the confessions. He will attempt
to obtain a writ of error from the
supreme court and will ask the dis
trict judges' here for an injunotion
to prevent the execution of Kirby
and Rathie.

E. W. Wheeler, Optometrist
Some days you feel like "eating" work,
and then again things don't "go" at all.
You ought to be in tiptop condition all the
time. The size of your pay check depends
on it. ' V
It may be your eyes, and you are uncon
sciously putting an immeasurable amount
of stress and strain upon them, although you are able to still see
clearly, and make the common mistake of thinking that your
sight must necessarily be perfect.
The MOST-USED and perhaps the MOST-ABUSED parts of the
human system are the eyes. Arid men, as well as their work,
must suffer, because the afflictions are caused by defective vision.
You can't afford to GAMBLE with your eyes, for you are bound
to lose sooner or later. It is better to be over-cautious than care
less and indifferent. A half hour spent
' . with us will set your mind at rest on this
point, and if glasses are required we will
so advise you.

Russell Hecker, under death sen

penitentiary here late tonight. The !

his parents be allowed to visit him
frequently.

"In this oase the conflict is not between the employer and the oppressed employes.

established a tribunal to decide such disputes over wages and working conditions, which
