f NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF PHILOMATH COLLEGE I
REV. J. R. PARKER.
PHILOMATH, July 20. Rev. J. R. Parker, the newly elected president of
Philomath College, was born on a farm near Huntington, Ind., June 14, 18C2. His
earlier school training was obtained In the "old country school house" on -his
father's farm. He later received normal training in the Central Indiana Normal
School, at Ladoga, Ind., and attended Roanoke Classical Seminary, at Roanoke.
Ind. Coming to Oregon in 1883, he was employed as professor In .Philomath Col
lege for one year. He has at different times been connected with the teaching
force of the institution, and has also taught successfully in the public schools of
Oreron. The Board of Trustees invited him in 1800 to the business manage
ment of Philomath College. The institution was not able financially to guaran
tee him a salary; neither did he ask it. For four years he has given time and
energy to building up the school financially, without salary, and with the result
that every cent of the Interest-bearing debt has been paid. Free from debt, and
with such a capable president as Rev. Mr. Parker, a bright future is Insured for

NEEDS OF METHODISM.
Earnestness of the Old Pulpit Gone
and Badly Missed.
PORTLAND, July 19. (To the Editor).
In many respects this is a critical period
in the history of the Methodist Episcopal
church. For the last few years a 'con
siderable loss in membership has been
sustained, for which various reasons
have been assigned; some attributing the
decline to overorganlzatlon, while almost
the whole church has gone daft over the
young people's movement, known as the
EDWOrth LeneilH TvHth Ub mnltlfnrlnno
boards of control, conventions,11 and pa
rades, relegating to the rear the old and
well-tried methods of work, by which
the organization has grown to such pro
portions. The Epworth Herald, organ of
the Epworth League, has jumped up to
an enormous circulation, while the whole
family of Advocates has declined until
their circulation Is maintained at a steady
loss to the church. It is expected, how
ever, through the present Epworth Conven
tion In San Francisco, and reports of re
vivals from numerous charges through
out the church, that the downward ten
dency of the past few years may be
checked, and the accustomed gains se
cured. Criticism of the life tenure of
bishops Is on the increase. It Is well
known that these men receive a good
salary during effective service, and when
no longer able to work are allowed offi
cially a sum many times larger than
that given to such men as Rev. Drs.
Doane and Hlnes, men who have liter
ally worn themselves out in the hardest
service of the church, and now receive in
their penury $150 a year If they are
lucky enough to get that. In our day,
this seems not only un-American, but
unfair. In fact, the whole question of
the Episcopacy, or rather the practical
workings of it. is a bone in the Metho
dist throat. Much of this concern comes
of the political methods employed by
Bome of the men themselves In securing
the place and the almost uniform man
ner in which they grow autocratic and
unapproachable by their equals in abil
ity and service, after they have been In
the office of bishop a few years.
One thing, however, seems certain: the
distinctively aggressive wave of Meth
odism, so remarkable 50 years ago. Is no
longer In evidence. Governor Rollins, of
New Hampshire, not long since lamented
officially that it is disappearing from
New England life, a lament which called
forth all manne'r of explanations.
Here and there the onlnlrm la hoM thnt
vthe general progress of society with its
""hcu conauions renuers Jietnoalsm,
with its peculiar methods, no longer a
necessity; In fact, that there is no longer
a place for it. That Methodism was orig
inally unique no one will question. Up to
1S35 and possibly as late as 1S50
that church produced a type of
preachers who if not a product of
the college, were nevertheless most excel
lent Judges of human nature and possessed
of an eloquence which has almost van
ished. These plain men wrought with a
zeal which took no account whatever of
conventionalities or obstacles. Asbury,
McKendree, Bascom and Russell BIgelow,
all bishops but the last named, may be ac
cepted as representatives of the men we
have In mind. Whatever else they lacked
they succeeded In creating a distinct and
remarkable spiritual force. Personal sac
rifice In the comforts of life, along1 with
a certain magnetism and invincible faith,
with an utter disregard for the limitations
of esthetic culture, were peculiar to them.
The record of these men places before us
a phase of religious life that developed
wherever they wrought a consuming de
sire among the people for education and
personal Improvement, resulting Jn scores
nt sohonln nnrl cnlipfroc nnr? tho rron
Methodist Book Concern, which employs
more capital in Its work than any other
publishing house in the world.
Perhaps the reader may get a better idea
of these men by having a brief account
of their manner. Once when the general
conference was held In Baltimore, "William
McKendree was put up to preach on Sun
day morning. He entered the pulpit, sun
burnt and plainly dressed, looking more
like a laborer than a bishop. In his
prayer he seemed to lack words and even
stammered. He read the text, "Is there no
balm In Gllead? Is there no physician
there?" As he advanced in the exegesis
of the text a strange magnetism seemed
to emanate from him to all parts of the
house, his voice rose clear as a trumpet,
everybody was absorbed, thrill after thrill
ran through the great assembly like an
electric shock. The preacher at times
could hardly be heard because of sup
pressed sobs in the audience. Many
strong men fell prostrate upon the floor.
One, athletic man fell as If he had been
hit by a mlnnie ball. Such an astonish
ing effect, so sudden and so overpowering,
was simply beyond explanation. Of an
other one of these preachers, Bascom, it
is related in history that he traveled in
one year on horseback 5000 miles, preached
411 times and received therefor $12 in
cash. This man, like Lincoln, educated
himself before a log fire, in a log house,
and died, worn out 'with his arduous toll.
Of Russell BIgelow, another typical
Methodist preacher, many things are said.
Edward Eggleston takes him as one of the
characters In his story of the "Circuit
Rider." This man who with his compeers
had so much to do with forming the char
acter of the "West, was below the medium
height, and always plainly dressed. His
attitude and gestures were not attractive.
His preaching resembled the putting to
gether a building made of blocks of gran
ite. Everything was fitted together with
the severest logic. Russell BIgelow swept
In his preaching all the strings of the
human heart. His audience almost with
out exception, bent and swayed under his
touch like reeds before the wind. He was
terrifically grand. And yet by the records
we -find this wonderful man lying down to
die, prematurely worn out, and with few
of tho commonest necessities.
This race of preachers Is extinct. Mat
thew Simpson was the last of the Illustri
ous line. There has not been a great au
dience profoundly moved by a Methodist
preacher as Simpson and BIgelow and Bas
com could move them In the last 10 years.
As to whether society Is so changed that
even these man If living could do what
they once did by their preaching cannot
here be told.
The Rev. Dr. H. "W. Kellogg, pastor of
First M. E. Church, Portland, frankly ad
mits that conditions are now different and
that we need new statements, and a tack
ing of ship In church work. Something of
this kind seems to be In the mind of some
of the foishops of the M. E. Church also,
for when they come vjjth a great (?) mes
sage, It Is no longer the sermon, but a
lecture on '.'Lincoln," "The Bright Side of
Life in Libby Prison" or 'Torn and His
Teachers," at $100 a night. In the mean
time the people thus educated are say
ing, give us shorter sermons and long
sausages. C. E. CLINE.
A FLOATING HOTEL.
Leave Xew Yorlc Bnttcry Evenings
nnd Return Xext Morning;.
Brooklyn Eagle.
The talk about a floating hotel to b9
towed out from the Battery every night
and brought to the dock In the morning,
which has Altered through the newspa
pers during every hot spell in recent
Summers, is at last to be realized. Mr.
John Arhuckle, who has had the plan
under consideration for several years,
has brought some ships and brought the
scheme so near to completion that It
will be launched soon It Is to be hoped
before we have a repetition of last
week's heat. The details were fully told
In Sunday's Eagle. The boats, or hotels,
will leave the Battery in the evening,
return in the morning, and will make
over Sunday cruises to near-by points.
Ample provision seems to have been
made against accident and for the pres
ervation of the decorous conduct which
Is essential to the success of a scheme
of this kind. No liquor will be sold on
the boats, and other provisions have
been made, calculated to Insure quiet
and good order. With thousands of peo
ple sleeping on Coney Island sands last
week and many more thousands tossing
at home unable to sleep on good beds,
In spacious rooms with large window.".
It would seem as If this project would
meet an existing demand. But much
will, of course, depend upon the manage
ment, and success cannot be guaranteed
In advance. It should be primarily a
device to enable those detained In the
city to secure a good night's sleep when
the heat denies them that luxury on
shore. Therefore, It would not be a pic
nic with late hours, music and other
noises to disturb the people who seek
these boats for rest. There are abund
ant resources for merrymaking on shore.
No addition to them Is needed which
tho beaches will not supply on the mere
suspicion of a demand. But there is no
way of insuring refreshing sleep to
thousands In the city who would be glad
to pay for that privilege. Mr. Arbuckle's
is the only project before the public
likely to meet that demand. If he keeps
strictly to that one purpose It ought to
("prove a boon to thousands who now swel
ter helplessly through at least two or
three weeks of the Summer.
Kites havo been used with great success
as a means to stop partridges rising and fly
ing from cover where It is wished to keep
them for shooting tho birds will not rise
when kites are -flying above them, fearing,
doubtless, attack.
Is a good thing for the young husband
to give the young wife. But sympathy
will not abate one jot of her nervousness
or lift her to that plane of sound health
where alone the wife and mother can
find happiness.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
meets every
womanly want
and need. It
tranquilizes the
nerves, restores
the appetite and
induces refresh
ing sleep. Its
use previous to
maternity makes
the baby's ad
vent practically
painless and
gives the mother abundant nutrition for
her child. "Favorite Prescription" is a
woman's medicine and has no equal as
a cure for womanly diseases. It estab
lishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness.
Accept no substitute for "Favorite Pre
scription." No other medicine is "just
as good " for weak and sick women.
lt affords me great pleasure to be able to say
a few words in repara to the merits of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden
Medical Discovery, " writes Mrs. Flora Arn, of
Dallas, Jackson Co., Mo. "I was tempted to try
these "medicines after seeinjr the effect upon my
mother. At an early age of married life I was
greatly bothered with painful periods, also a
troublesome drain which rendered me weak
and unfit for work of any kind. I became so
thin there was nothing left of me but skin and
bone. My husband became alarmed and got
me a bottle of ' Favorite Prescription. After he
saw the wonderful effects of that one he got two
more, and after I used those up there was no
more pain, and I began to gain in flesh very
rapidly."
