THE STJ2QAY OREGOXLUX, PORTLAND, JULY 30, 1905. 'Common People Faithful to Christ" Written for The Sunday Oregonian by Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, Pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn (Copyrighted, 1P08. by McClure, Phillips Co.) Text: "And the common people heard him gladly." DURING his lifetime Christ's name was music to his generation. The common people heard him gladly, and the common people know their friends. The multitude Is not always right, but, given time, the multitude Is seldom ever wrong. Every generation has Its hero, but the people who. crowded about the carpenter's son knew with swift Intuition that here was the leader for whom the people long had looked. And now that the centuries have come and gone all will confess that in this friend of publicans and sinners was held the Intellectual life and the political liberties of the last two thousand years. Indeed, the history of social progress Is the his tory of his spirit dwelling In Institutions, as man's soul dwells within his body. The secret of his Influence over the multi tude Is this: He was born of the common people, he walked In the common path way, he bore the common burdens, he learned from those common teachers work, events, men, necessity that is the mother of invention, responsibility that sobers and chastens. Living the universal life, he came to think In the universal language and put the universal and cter nal truths In terms of tho time. The poet, the -philosopher, the teacher, who loves a class lives with that reigning class and with that class doth die. Horace was a typical old Roman gentleman, and said: "I hate the vulgar crowd, and hold them at a distance." And even Thomas Car lyle was seduced away from his confi dence In the people to a trust in the aris tocratic class alone seduced by dinner parties and drawing-roomB and friend ships with men who dwelt in Kings' pal aces. His Fidelity to His Own. But Jesus never forgot his kind. Born in poverty, he remained poor. To the last he held his confidence In the people, wise and ignorant, in the people, rich and poor. In the good and bad; In the integrity of their intellect and tho roundness of their heart, and the certainty of their final response to the divine overtures. The ascetic, tho scholar, the leisure classes leave the dusty highway and build bowers of rest on either side of the thronged path along which the multitudes do move; not so Jesus. If other teachers read books, he read the heart, with pages blotted with tears and blood. If others nurtured their religious life amidst clois tered retreats, he fed his soul in tho market place, loved publicans and sin ners and came eating and drlnklngy Once they understood him, the enthusiasm of the people for their hero was beyond all words. The carpenter was and Is tho most lovable and fascinating figure In all history. In his memoirs Lord Itosebery recalls Napoleon's last days. One morn ing, climbing the steeps of St Helena, the Emperor met a heavily laden porter at a point where the path was not wide enough for two. Hurrying forward, the aide asked the laborer to give way for Napoleon. "Not so," said the Emperor, "it is for us to step aside. Respect tho burden." In that hour the ruler remem bered the poverty and toll of his child hood In Corsica. And Christ, who taught the fatherhood of God. never forgot sym pathy and the brotherhood of man. When public honors were poured out upon him like a flood he turned the more sedu "Ik Marvel," the Bachel or or 6 How Donald G.

Then I people the gooseberry alley with Dr. Primrose and his daughters, Sophia and Olivia; 'Squire Burchell comes and sits upon the bench with me under the arbor as I smoke my pipe. How shall we measure our indebted ness to such pleasant books that people our solitude so many years after they are writ ten! Oliver Goldsmith. I thank you! Bob Crown. I thank you! From "Mr Farm at BdRewood." by Ik. Marvel, published In 1883. IK MARVEL was Just turned forty when he wrote these lints ho Is past eighty-three now. After making allowances for a differ ence of Incidental manner in their re spective periods, a comparison of Oliver Goldsmith and Donald Grant Mitchell (who Is Ik Marvel) shows them to be kin dred, writes "Pendennls" In tho New Tork Times. Goldsmith was a plain man who made simplicity seem magnificent, and he had tho saving graco of humor for use in stress of weather. Mitchell Is also a plain man, who has found magnificences in the simplest Impressions that have stamped his soul who, born a poet, has lived a poet's life, with his love of solitude and reverie and things without complexity. He Is passing quietly, tenderly, even cheerfully now, into the dream life that has been his atmosphere always, and for this reason one may venture to measure his distinction in American literature, as posterity will surely honor him without reserve. Every one remembers the "Reveries of a Bachelor," published in 1S50, and selling as well today as it ever did, although the author profits little from it now because of the "true" Justice of tho American copyright law that gives an author no more than 42 years' Ilea on his literary property. Technically It is written in prosa, but actually It Is true poetry, whisk ing us away from the ugliness of bom bast and vanity usual in tho remin iscences of unattached man; leading us gently and surely into a reverie of sentiment entirely sweet and self-depreciating, a reverie in which bachel orhood is a condition creeping inev itably to Its chivalrlc destiny, where che awaits him; sho tho enchantress of our lives luring us toward an agree able obedience that no words definitely can tell of, that no man will ever cease desiring to obey. The "Heverles of a Bachelor" pre ceded the author's marriage by scarce ly two years. This Is delightfully significant, a fact that points no other way for man but that which brings him to the parson and the ring. If so exquisite a docu ment as the "Reveries of a Bachelor falls In Us avowed resistance, there can be none that avails. It is a book that conjures. Its tricks are the coquetry of man, not the evil In him, and they would not deceive the most determined widows. It is all true; one can read it now and fall beneath the overwhelming -philosophy of this delightful bachelor who consented to share with his fel--lows the Intimate reveries of his soli tude, in a time when sweethearts were shy and weddings were sacred cere saonies. This bachelor talks to you te 4ay with aa almost forgotten grace lously toward the lame, the blind, the publican, the sinner, the heartbroken. In deed, tils miracles are only the outer revelations of his love for the needy. They are benefactions, hints of -trts deep (sympathy with individuals Ioto tokens, not miracles, not signs, not wonders. For Jesus never forgot the depths of sorrow that he himself bad Bounded In the days when he was despised and In poverty and loneliness. He loved the common people and gave himself in an abandon of af fection to them; In return they gave themselves to him. And so, as he marches up the hills of time, the people throng and crowd after the Christ who has charmed the people as Apollo's lute could never charm them. Christ and the Poor. Confessedly. Christ was the greatest of social reformers. Plainly, also, the rea son Is that he has loved the poor and cast his lot In with them. Many reasons have been urged for this. It is said that the poor are in the majority, and that he allied himself wlththe multitude, SO per cent of whom are In Bhops, mines, forests, fields. It Is said that the poor are the neediest Do tho riqh hunger for wisdom? They can buy books, teachers, travel but not tho poor. Do the rich hunger for the beautiful and the sublime, as seen In mountains, in foreign cities, in galleries and cathedrals? They can buy travel and leisure. Not the poor. Does the. rich man toss upon his fevered couch? He can Journey to sbme soft Southern climate or And his way to tho seashore, but the poor must die in their garrets. It is said that the poor furnish the leaders for the people. From the shepherd's cote comes David, the sweet singer. From the plow comes Burns, baptizing the field mouse and the daisy with the immortality of song. From the poor comes the father of poetry, blind, aged and a beggar. The father of philosophy, Socrates, has but one garment, and that worn threadbare. Eplctelus, the great moralist. Is a slave. And what shall wc more say of our In debtedness to the working classes, save that Martin Luther comes from the collier-, and Newton from the home of the seamstress, and James Watt from a bare kitchen, and the great President from rall spllttlng; while the poets, the merchants, the statesmen and the Jurists have not dwelt In that clime named riches, but rather have been reared In the unfriendly zones where poverty rules. Loved Men as God's Children. But while these are reasons, they are not the reason. Christ loved men as men. and not. as cither rich or poor. He liked men because thev wr iiv-nvi tt-i the likable man was named Lazarus. ana poor, ne went to his house, be cause he was likable. When the likable man was rich like Simon, he went to his house, not because he was rich, -but because he was likable. He ptled off all exterior named the beggar's coarse cloak and the ncn mans purple and fur. and laid his finger uoon the naked rmi nf mnnVmn.i The soul dwells sometimes under rags and sometimes under fine linen. Just as pearl sometimes dwells in a thin shell and sometimes In a thick shell. Put if th. shell of the pearl happens to be thin as paper we vaiue me pearl, and if the shell happens to be two Inches thirv ttin value the pearl. The French King had n mQBsana waistcoats, DUt no friend valued the soul of that esthete the more because YOU had to bora thrmwh thousand layers of walstcoa't, and peel him of clothes as you peel an onion. Among the great Qualities of Christ we mention his sanity as a social teacher You shall know the truth, and the truth snail mane you free. He taught the law' of social sympathy and service. He said, "Men are In darkness, and you can lighten and chivalry; his most playful thought Is as stately as the minuet, when tho faintest touch of the tips of her fingers was satisfaction enough for tho bash ful adorer. Little wonder that the "bachelor became a mark for the pret ties, the most romantic, the most re fined young ladies of his bachelor days: the real wonder Is, how he survived the publication of his reveries two years before he married. Of course after his surrender he could not have any more reveries of a bachelor, but they had served so good a cause that there was no need to repeat them, for they merged themselves Into another im pressionable mood, that made a book called "Dream-Life." Everything that found a voice In him came from poetic impulses; he Is, a dis ciple of things In Nature as they are. those same things tne average man would utterly destroy if he but had the power. Oliver Goldsmith was a plain man. poor in pocket, rich In a genius for sympa thetic vision. Donald Grant Mitchell Is a plain man. of modest fortune, rich in a genius for see ing life in a simple, honest, Inspiring way; rich In his ability to put down what he has seen entirely as he has seen It. Much that is lacking In modern literature can be found In a walk through the woods on a Summer day. If It is not too hot. All that Is lacking in contemporary chivalry can be found in the "Reveries of a Bachelor," Just as an hour spent with Doctor Primrose and his daughter Olivia sweetens, refreshes and Invigorates tho spirit. Like Goldsmith, Ik Marvel (whom some people confuse with Ik Walton, who was very different), makes us feel the peace of woodland reveries. The philosophy of solitude, the charm that escapes us in quiet things. It Is very quiet at Edgewood. where he has lived the greater part of his life where most that ho has written has been conceived and done. "Is It lonely in my garden of a Sum mer's evening? Have the little pattering feet gone their way to bed?" No. it is never lonely at Edgewood. The "little pattering feet," those chil dren that left him alone with his beloved Goldsmith once in awhile, are always around him now; three practical, house keeping, care-taking women, who watch his every movement lovingly as bo once watched them In the "gooseberry alley" behind the house. Every ono In New Haven knows the house; the smallest boy that goes to school can point In the direction It la from him, no matter how busy his game may be at the moment. "Taas. sir, up there on tho hill, that's Edgewood; follow the road that goes up when you get to Weetvtlle." Why shouldn't the whole town know? Didn't he graduate from Tale, and Isn't he as famous a graduate as they ever had? m New Haven Is proud of Its aristocrats, and everybody there knows Ik Marvel and claims him. though he was bora In NSrwlch. The Edgewood of toeay Is not the Edge wood of 40 years ago. It has, been moved bodily across the road, and jit has adopted such elegane'es as high ceilings and Is surrounded by a tall box hedge. "Garden associations Inevitably have English coIorlBc." wrote Ik itaxvel ia the laspresetoas t hk Sara. "In Jt them. Men are oppressed, and you can relieve their burdens. Men are wandering from the path, and yon can lead them back Into the highway of peace. Men sit In the shadow of death, and you can bring them life." God hath placed upon you this unspeakable honor of letting you share with him the world's sins, sorrows and burdens, and In the sharing he will give you his Joy and peace. Enthusiasm for Early Church? - After Christ's death, the common peo ple transferred their enthusiasm to tho early church and for sufficient reason. In a thousand ways the early Christians made the people debtors. They became veritable angels of deliverance. They saved the lives of babes, exposed by rea son of physical defects. , They founded homes for orphans. They stood between the slave and his cruel master. They made impossible the gladiatorial games. They founded homes of mercy for the blind, the deaf, the disabled. They stood between tho baron and his serfs In later years. The church became a refuge for the weak, the Ignorant and the oppressed. In an abandon of love tho people brought their treasures as a thank offering. To the cathedral were assembled all "treasures named marbles. pictures. Ivories, laces, tapestries, while the poor brought gifts of copper, silver and gold. For centuries tho church or tho cathe dral was the very soul of each com munity, and there the poor found a refuge from all that, struck and all that pursuedand all that sought to do evil. Men flocked to the church for help, as doves seek out the eaves of the temple, and now once more has come an epoch when the church Is to mrve. not a ctajrs, but all the people, and when the poor are with one accord to turn thereto. Other generations may have needed the church, but ours needs It by way of pre eminence. In studying the problems-of the laboring classes. Carlyle found his only hope in the church. "It is." he said, "the most beautiful and touching object ono sees on earth. This speaking man whom have we to compare with him? of all public functionaries, boarded and lodged on the industry of modern youth. ,s..tnere one worthJer of board ho has? "A roan rirofesslng to save the soul of men. Contrast him with a man profess ing to do little but shoot the partridges of men. Tho speaking function, this of truth coming to us with a living voice, nay, in a living shape, has a perennial place. Could ho but discover almost in contact with him what the real satan and soul-devouring, world-devouring devil now Is. Original sin and such like are bad enough, but this distilled sin. dark Ig norance, stupidity, dark Corn Law. Bas tille and Company, what are they? Will he discover our new real satan whom be has to fight? Feel him at his own throat and ours? That is a auestion for the world. Let us not intermeddle with It here." In these striking words Carlyle recognizes tho new emergency that Is upon society. Some one must be over them, and since not an earthly Napoleon or Frederick, then God, whose bosom Is tho seat of law, whose purpose must be tho will of the world. Society has called In Its last reserves. When society had a king, if the monarch went wrong the aris tocracy was called In to correct tho abuses. When the aristocracy ruled and did evil, society fell back upon the re serves, named the middle classes, repre senting caution, sobriety and restraint. When society was dissatisfied with the rule of the middle classes, It called In the poor with all the people. Reserves to fall back upon now are tho common people. The future's civilization Is In their chil dren's hands. But the sovereign people must not be soverelgnless. The leaders must be led. and that leader must bo led. For the secret of the successful reign of the common people Is the secret of the Messiah. 'The Reveries5' Life on Ills Farm. strange, when so many old gardens are blooming through so many old books we know?" One reaches tho door through an arbor, a door that is old-fashioned to the last degree, a door that opens wide or opens half wide, according to the welcome it indorses. It is really two doors an upper and a lower door. It can be open and yet you cannot get Into the house unless you vault the lower half. It Is a door made on the old-fashioned principle compromise that conveyed outward courtesy but withheld inward welcome. The door compromised for us. Its upper half opened, and a lass In a callco gown and a severe simplicity of manner that might have been as the manner of Sophia or Olivia herself, stood guard on the poet's threshold. We had come from the big city by tho sea, from the tallest building In a city of tall buildings; we were mildly self-important, as New Yorkers always are when disentangled from the crowded streets that crush their littleness. Would the poet see us? ' She swung the lower half of tho door open, smiled a frank yet reserved wel come, and said with deprecating gesture, in a voice as quiet as the hushed murmur In the trees on the hill, "I don't know how well ho will feel when he returns from his drive. My father Is always adverse to notoriety of any kind. He has always said, whenever ho has seen other authors in Interview form. 'Well, thank goodness, I hope I can always dodge them. " They say that Goldsmith was rather vain, but doubtless he. too. would have shied the affliction of a literary Jnter vlewf SU1I, Ik Marvel In his prime had been, as he told me. "au courant" with the men who make newspapers and their ways. Wo sat down on the shaded porch, so quiet, eo sweet. In Its stillness and Its sky room, so pregnant with tho atmosphero'of reverie and dreams. 'Tour father does not wrlto now?" I asked. "No. he Is resting. This hot weather, we have to keep him as quiet and free from excitement as possible. He drives every morntng, then he dines, and then ho sleeps; sometimes he never leaves tho couch after dinner till sundown, when he comes out under the arbor, takes a last look at the country he loves, and goes to bed," she said. "And he -abhors strangers?" "He rarely sees anybody because It ex cites him; frequently ho cannot see close relatives and friends he is fond of." "All of his world is Edrewoofi?" "Ho adores the country, and he knows every mood of its Mfe. He Is Interested In the war news, too, for he Is no longer In the action of contemporaneous events." "He is In the dream-life," and Olivia or Sophia, smiled acqtilesence. An old-fashioned phaeton crept up the hill, drawn by an old-fashioned stately horse, and far back in Its comfortable shadow sat an old gentleman, the poet of Edgewood. "I will ask hm If he will see you."" ald OU via. or Sophia, and she passed swiftly to the other side of the bouse where he was, Ia a few minutes the peace of the house hold was disturbed, there were footstep In and out of 'rooms and doors within; another daughter appeared through a window, leaked a ever critically aad 'retired. Then we were caaecioaa ef aa- other lady, a woman determined, prac tical, older than the other two, a woman whe clearly disapproved ef this latrastea upon the serene system of that house hold. But Olivia or Sophia, she of the simple calico gown and- the gentle-aaanner. was to be relied upon, and she it was who brought him to us. He came briskly; we could hear tho quick rapping of his cane as he came across the wooden floor of the library, through the open window, on to the Porch; a man of average height, a Tittle stooping, a little gnarled with age. wear ing a brown velvet coat In cutaway style trimmed with broad black braid a dandy's coat, a Byronlc collar, brown linen trousers and waistcoat. hls head thrown back Inquiringly, a buoyant, cheerful smile on his fine, sensitive, wisely Ken tie face. Eighty-three years old! It was a handsome face, not la the dark, powerful, brooding strength of the Dante features, but In the gentler wisdom of a pleasant optimism. In the qualities that have endeared such men as James Russell Lowell to the world. His daughter showed him where to sit and stood near him. watching his face lovingly, wjth a smile of almost maternal care and affection; doubtless, she watched him as he bad watched her in those years far back, when she was a child In the "gooseberry lane." "I should think you would be Interested la the living authors, not In the dead ones." he said, cheerfully enough, with a glance at his daughter for support. The camera, eager to seize Its victim, glared at him within a short distance ot his head. , Goodness!" ho said, rising with veri table fear, "you're not going to take me at such close range. If by chance a man finds that he must faco a gun, he can at least keep his distance from It." And ho looked Imploringly at the llttlo group about him for protection. His daughters led him to a seat In tho arbor, for his sight Is falling, and ho leans on them for support. "He's had an unusually long drive, and ho Is unusually tired." said an older daughter, who had been with him on the drive. As I saw the Interview recede, however, I was not sorry, for no one had even seen him for years, and no picture had been taken of him for publication for a Tery long while. "Perhaps the gentlemen would take something?" he asked, after the photo graphic ordeal was over, and he stood up. hat In hand, smiling, amiable, alert with Instinctive grace of hospitality. "And, now. you must let me have my rest," he said. He paused a moment and swept the ex quisite landscape view "from the arbor, the view that had passed into literature In a thousand moods and forms, and moving his stick toward meadows and woodland, he said: "The shadows are growing deeper now; the country Is moat beautiful then," And he turned quickly and went into the house. It was this adapting of Nature's moods to philosophic revery. this sweet mixture of artist's eye with the poet's delicacy of expression, that has made Ik Marvel ono of the best loved of American authors. "Tho shadows are growing deeper now!" And as they darken the day. and night speeds after them, nothing can efface tho memory they have left behind the glory that comes only with posterity. "How shall wo measure our Indebted ness to such pleasant books that people our solitude so many years after they are written?" wrote Ik Marvel, and If he had been writing in prophecy of his own lit erary labors he could not have prophesied for them more truly. PENDENNIS. NO TEXAS GUN-TOTING CHANGE IX MORAXi CONDITIONS IX THAT STATE. Fewer Murders Than Chicago Pro hibition ot Playing of Domi noes for Stakes. W. Q. Curtis, in Chicago Record-Herald. -Tho change in moral conditions in Texas has been quite as marked as In other respects. Texas 'has always been looked upon as a community of desper adoes in certain parts of the country, and wc are all familiar with the pop ular adage that such or such a thins Is needed as much as a revolver in. Texas. Whereas, there Is a - law In Texas prohibiting people from carry ing revolvers, and It Is enforced strict ly In more than three-fourths of the counties of the stale, according to the disposition of tho police and the prose cuting officers. In most of the coun ties it will cost any man $48 in fines and penalties to "tote a pistol.' in others the fine Is 9100, with 30 days imprisonment added for a second 'of fense. Bowie knives, slung-shots. brass knuckles and all ofber similar weapons are also prohibited under eually severe penalties. Tou will re member reading about the -Texas cus tom of having revolvers checked -at tho theaters and how every man was compelled to leave his gun with the at tendants before he was allowed to en ter a ballroom. That custom still pre vails In certain places on the frontier, where people think it Is necessary to carry arms for self-defense. At the same time, the law requires that they shall be discarded when the owner comes to town, and people who carry them are not arrested or fined provided they obey these regulations. There 1s no more "shooting: up the' town" In Texas. Hold-ups are un known. People do not carry money any more as they did formerly. There is a bank In every town, and checks are used Instead of currency. Cattle roping contests and other cruel sports are forbidden under heavy penalties. , There are as many "blue laws" In Texas as" In any other state In the Union. If not more. There Is a law prohibiting card play ing, except In private houses, and even then It must not be habitual or for a stake. It Is unlawful for any house holder to have a room for that pur pose. This law Is strictly enforced In 90 per cent of the -counties In Texas. Not long ago an entire theatrical company was arested and tho members fined $25 each for playing cards la their private car on the railway tracks, which the court held to be a public place In the eyes of the law. In aa other train four of the wealthiest cat tlemen In the state were arrested for violation of the anti-gambling law while playing euchre In a car on their way to a convention. The courts have held again and again that It Is unlaw ful to play cards on a railway train. It Is forbidden to -play dominoes or shake dice for drinks er other articles of value. VTbere is a heavy fine for playing pool ex billiards to see who shall pay for the gasae. A, man way invite a frlead to play pool or billiards, but they must determine who shall pay in seme other way tfcaa the usual way. Under tho Joeal e-pilen. law 'nearly three-fourths ef the coantiss In the state have declared for prohibition. This Includes nearly all of the rural districts. Most of the cities have de clared for high license, aad charge from 375 to J12 for the privilege of selling spirits.

Gambling- has been suppressed almost entirely throughout the state. There Is, hovrever, a large "Jug trade." as It Is called, carried on between the license cities and the prohibition coun ties. The courts have decided that a man may buy all the liquor be -likes at a place where licenses are granted for consumption in places where pro hibition is enforced. Several liquor houses In Dallas, Fort "Worth, Houston and other cities do a "jug trade" al most exclusively, and have larpo num bers of clerks engaged In putting up flasks and bottles to ship by express to customers In the country towns. One dealer has 40 men who do nothing but put up express packages of liquor, and if you will look Into the express car on any train you will sec wagonloads of them. A great deal of money Is brought Into the cities in that way, and the country merchants are complaining about It, but everybody admits that, not withstanding the "Jug trade," the prohi bition law Is well enforced and Is grow ing in .favor. There Is less crime than formerly: murders are rare nowadays; shooting has gone out of style. If a citi zen of any town In Texas' should be shot these cays It would create more excite ment than In roost of the cities of the North; while a few years ago such affairs were commonplace. I heard it asserted recently that there were more murders In the City of Chicago last year than In the State of Texas. These moral reforms are attributed chiefly to a religious revolution which has been going on hero for the past 'five or six years. There have been revivals all over the state, particularly among the Methodists. Baptists and CampbelUtes. every Summer for Ave years. They have been conducted by professional evangel ists; services have been held In tents, be cause the churches were not big enough to accommodate the audiences; the con verts have been numbered by thousands, and a-great mora upheaval has been the result. HOW MORMONS DECEIVE Salt Ijake City Incident In Which Clergyman Figures. Housekeeper. Just how far some- of the statements, made with all solemnity and apparent sin cerity by the Mormon bureau of informa tion, may be depended upon as true, may be illustrated by an incident enacted a few months ago. An Eastern clergyman, visiting In Utah, requested of a GentUe friend living In the city, to be shown the sights of the handsome square about the Temple. Together with his friend he reg istered at the information building, where they were xaet hy a guide, as are all vis itors. The guide was a fine-looking and extraordinary intelligent young weman of about 23 years of age, apparently, well dressed and. of aristocratic carriage, who showed the visitors the assembly hall and the tabernacle, explaining readily and comprehendingly various principles of the "Mormon faith. "When asked of the relation of polygamy to the church, the young woman answered, without hesita tion, that the church regarded the prin ciple as truebut had suspended the prac tice under the adraonltios of the mani festo. The Eastern clergyman was much Im pressed with the manner of the girl, aad her clear understanding of her religion, and asked that he might have her ad dress, which she readily gave aim, in order to send her some literature pertain ing to his own religion, measles of which had bees ssade daring their coaversatloc Oh the way horse the clergyssas. ex pressed great hopefulaess la the outeeme of the "Utah situatioa.
