PROPHET IS MORE THAN A SEER
OF FUTURE, DECLARES PASTOR
Dr. Boyd, in Sermon, Say Men of Bible Who Foretold Great Events Were Men Who Had Discovered and Under
stood the Divine Mind and Had the Power to Interpret It.
"The ViNinn of Trrtphetlsm: er. the Eter
aal Ixmana tr ll.shteousa."
FT DR. JOHN It. BOTP.
Taitor rtrst Prea--? tartan Church.
TOPAT we are to ati:-1v tl-.e blos
eomlng of Ju1aim. We are to try
to discover the results of the his
tory of this great people. We are to
study the function of "prophetlam."
Let me ask you to rid yourself of the
Idea that the prophet is a man who
simply predicts, and that prophetlam la
merely a foretelling. That is one of
tne functions of prophetlam. but i
prophet la more than a seer of the fu
ture. The word means not merely fore
telling, but speaking before another,
cr In place of. and under the authority
cf another.
The true conception of a prophet Is
that of a mats who has been In the pres
ence of O-jd. and has discovered the Di
vine mind and the 1'lvlne Will, and who
'.hen goes out to reveal the L'lvlne
min.l and the Ilvlre will to men.
In tVe case of Nathan we have an ex
act Illustration of the function of the
pror-et. You remember that when Ia

should be put In the front rank of the

T:,at la tl-e function of prophetlam.
It la to understand the mill of the
eternal through Inspiration: to know
"ixt i aecret and hta win for man. and
to come from fe presence of God to
speak that meesaire before men.

standing forth a the defender of all
that Is sacred In Jewish tradition. He
reaists Jexebel and her malign influ
ences In the court, and almost alone,
protects the sacred traditions of the
ration, the great conceptions of Je
hovah, and all the optimism of hope
ti at had burned In the hearts of Israel.
After these prophets we have those
who began to record their messages
Amos. Hoses. Tsalah. Jeremiah and the
other lesser prophets. Thev are men
who. in some wsy. under the mystical
Influence of the Divine spirit, had
reached the complete conception of the
meaning of the religion of Jehovah.
Thev had seen clearly the Mea that was
In the mind of Abraham concerning the
spiritual Omnipotence which enfolded
the universe. They had learned to in
terpret the universal Divine, not only
In terms of power and of wisdom, but
above all. In terms of righteousness.
They had learned to see that the
great power which created the unl
verse and humanity, governed the
stream of centuries, snd was the ruler
of all history, was a God of charac
ter and righteousness: that this uni
versal power outatde of man. and over
and under and through humanity, was
demanding above all things character
In the individual and right relations In
society and in the state.
The Terr time when this conception
of the Almighty blossomed out Into
this clear form was the time when the
court, the King, the princes, the nobles,
the rich, the mlghtv, and the .st
masses of the people were going in
the other -direction, and were inter
preting life la terms of power, pleas
ure, sensuality and wealth.
If yon read Isaiah. Jeremiah. Hoaea.
Amos and the rest, you will find that
they deal with a stupendoua conflict
between the Ideal of rlghteousneaa and
the actual life of unrighteousness In
the King, the court and the people,
and. therefore, the whole period of
prophetism la marae.l by a atupendous
antagonism between the two Ideals.
Pecpl Are "Haraea.
These lofty men of God with thelt
raunt facea and sensational methods,
walked through the streets of the cities
and resorted to all sorts of devices to
get a hearing of the people. At times
they stood in the presence of the court
itself. At other times they stood on
the street-corner, turning upoa the
people with the declaration that the
mora la of Israel were decaying, that
the Almighty Judge was above them
and the doom of the nation sealed un-
ess the people turned to righteousness.
Men ask. "What Is the great being
which lies outside of men" They ask
what la his essence, and what la the
mala emphasis of life. The prophets
-
of calls. The many fathers who made
tne rounds sighed -u lth anticipation of
delights to come and the mothers
smiled happily with a prospect of fu
ture relief from culinary cares.
It Is In this adjoining room that the
breakfasts and lunches are served from
time to time by two students. Two
young women, for Instance, are given
$1 and told to prepare a breakfast for
10 women. Here la the breakfast that
Miss Alice Cornwall and Miss Helen
Pekum prepared a few days ago:
Steamed figs and cream, fried halibut,
creamed potatoes, yeast rolls and co
coa. That meal cost Just So cents and
the amount of protelds. fat, hydrates
bring back the answer that the all
powerful Is In his essence the all-
righteous, and that he Is making i
demand upon humanity that the indl
vldual man shall walk In purity and
honor, and that In all society right
doing shall be the supreme thing.
Wrltlasa Are Meal Modera.
That is prophetism. and the writings
of the prophets are In some respects
the most modern of all the sacred
work. This is the philosophy for all
time.
.lien are asking. "What Is the atti
tude of the divine toward men? What
Is his aim? What does he demand?"
The answer comes back from the lips
of the prophets that the eternal Is the
all-righteous, and that he Is making
but one demand that men shall adjust
themselves to purity and righteous
ness. Here is the controversy between
God and man. God Is demanding that
men's Uvea shall be based upon moral
ity. Humanity Is an unwilling human
ity. This great controversy between
the Infinite, and the finite Is what Is
the matter with the world today. To
use the erigram of Ciesterton. "What's
wrong with the world Is that men are
not asking what la right." In other
words, they are not seeking the perfect
ideals of righteousness. not under
standing the divine command, or meet
ing it.
Eternal "M ill "Mast Be Heeded.
We are looking to legislation, to
Jaws, to party platforms, to popular
opinions, when, the thing humanity
naeds to look to is the eternal will, as
It demanda righteousness and charac
ter. The world cries. "Peace, peace,"
and there Is no peace.
I wish that Matthew Arnold could
have discovered the personality of the
divine. I wish that he had said that
there Is consciousness and freedom
with the divine. But he did not say it.
lie did say something which ought to
be lodged In the memory of every man.
It Is his definition of the divine: "God
Is a power which makes for righteous
ness." Thts Is the key to a true philosophy
of htsiory. Stand upon the high place
where that Imperial Intellect of the
German Hegel stands, and ask. "Where
la God going?" The answer comes
back from the great mind of the Ger
man that God is aiming at morality.
That Is the mearlng of history. The
divine Is moving toward the moral.
Bucket says that the advance in hu
manity has been due to an advance In
mentality, and Mr. Kldd says that
Bucket la mistaken, and that the rea
son mankind has progressed is not be
cause of a new mentality, but because
of a new moralit.

Pblloaophy Discovered la Book.
Note the life of the individual, the
community, the nation. Wherever you
find confusion, wherever you find fail
ure, you find an antagonism of the
finite toward the demand of the In
finite for righteousness. Here is an
inspired philosophy of history, an in
fallible philosophy of religion, and
those men of old. Jeremiah, Isaiah,
Amos. Hosea and all the rest, discov
ered it centuries and centuries ago.
It is recorded in the Old Book which
men say la now dead.
God has undertaken the' stupendous
task of lifting humanity up. Remem
ber what human nature Is. and see
what a task the Eternal has under
taken. It Is to move humanity from
the Ideal of sensuality to the ideal of
purity. The Almighty God; with all
nls power, is trying his best to' lift
humanity to a new ideal, and humanity
resists, humanity retards the divine
movement and purpose.
Bedoa-la Hears God.
We see that aged Bedouin standing
on the highlands of Canaan, looking
now at the gltterlng sands of the Med
iterranean, and now up at the stars,
and listening to God saying. "I will
make of you a people as multitudin
ous as the sands of the sea, and as
the stars; you are to be a blessing to
mankind through all the centuries."
We ran trace the progress of his

actuated, apparently, by a blind Influ
ence, as birds are led irom the cold
north in Autumn to the warm south.
Yet there Is growth.
The vagueness disappears. Hope
takes form, until, through the mist.
colossal personality Is seen, a per
sonality which can be traced through
all the Psalms of David and through
the writings of the prophets. The out
line is Indefinite at first, but Just when
Israel's national life is breaking down
and captivity Is before the nation, at
this moment the vision becomes more
definite, and you see standing there
the great form the Everlasting Fath
er, tne t'rince oi fnnces, ine tseea or
Adam, treading the wine press alone,
the great hero who is to deliver the
people.
One tourn alter anotner is aodeo,
until Daniel sees tbe vision of the son
of man. and of the great deliverance
whteh is to follow.
Under these Influences grew up this
vast hops of a coming king, a prince.
s .
t
I who
was to be the deliverer, and at the
l close
of Old Testament history you
find Israel standing with uplifted face,
looking into the future, expecting the
Deliverer.
You see Isaiah, dressed in his royal
purple, his face illumined with a holy
light, awaiting the Coming One, and
so with Hosea, and Malachl and J ere
mlah and the rest of them. All the
people are looking. It is the blossom
ing out of Judaism, the blossoming
into the conception of the Divine as the
All-righteous, and it blossoms Into the
Messianic conception of the great one
that was to come as a mighty force
Into the world. All the tangle was to
be straightened out; all the broken
cords were to be restrung, and the new
melody was to sound In the world once
more. You will find all that in the
vision of the prophets of the One who
was to come.
Personality la Recognised.
A few centuries after this there
arose In the highlands of Judea a per
sonality unrecognised by the world,
of whom his hearers said, "Never
man spake like this man." He went
away, scourged and bleeding, out of
Jerusalem, and died upon a cross amid
the hisses and hatred of humanity.
To us this simple Personality is the
Supreme Person of all history. From
his mind and heart and work there
stream into the world potent influ
encea, the mightiest that the centuries
have seen.
You ask for a miracle? Here is the
demonstrable miracle of Christianity.
The prophets dreamed, and here is the
fulfilment.
You remember Hawthorne's beautiful
parable of the Great Stone Face, that
vast Tace or rocx in me mountains.
You remember the Indian legend, given
by thera to the simple .village folk,
that the time would come when there
should be born into tbe world a man
with these features, with a broad.
thoughtful brow, kindly lines about
the cheek and mouth, and that this
personality should be full of wisdom,
sweetness, gentleness, his life a bene
diction to all. You remember, too.
how Hawthorne tells of the little boy.
Ernest, who grew up under tbe shadow
of the Face, and was told of the one to
come.
"Loved by AIL
He grew to be an aged man. He was
loved by ail, and it was discovered
that the lines of his face were the
lines of tne Image on the mountain.
A beautiful legend! But I can show
you an occurrence in human history,
not a legend, but a fact, which stands
without a parallel. Loot at tne great
stone image as it stands out in Jewish
literature In that old historical sky.
Then turn and see the Promised one.
It is the same brow, the same kindly
face, the same love and power the
dream become a reality. Can you
doubt It?

third of a day: proteld, 270 grammes;
fat, S70 grammes; hydrates, 1000
grammes; calories, 7700 grammes."
That meal won the commendation:
"A perfect meal served on time" and
was marked as follows:
Steamed figs and cream, 10; fried

The exhibition was composed of one
articl cooked at' home, which became
the property of the student, and one
or more cooked at the school which
might be purchased after the exhibi

The food value of the various ma
terials is taught as scientific market

slender pocketbook extend itself to al
most "unbelievable dimensions.
All who saw the exhibition came
away wishing they had been invited to
participate and those fortunate enough
to be (nvited to taste declared that
even the fabled stories of what mottier,
could do were banished by the new

MONGOLIA IS PROBLEM
IN ORIENTAL SITUATION
Statesmen of the Far East Worry Over Future of Territory That Looks
Attractive to Russia, Japan and China United States Figures.
TOKIO, May 18 (Special.) Political
affiliations He largely at the root
of such variations of the Russian
attitude toward the Mongolian prob
lem as may be observed through dili
gent perusal .of press comment on the
subject. But though it would be al
most impossible to find a Kadet organ
well disposed toward governmental
proceeding, not all otherwise pro-gov
ernment newspapers favor anything
like an open seizure of Mongolian ter
ritory. Perhaps the consensus of well-
informed opinion inclines to the side
of an Independent province which shall
not hereafter serve a re-born China
as a military base from which to plan
inroads upon Russian territory.
Dealing with this subject a Russian
official, stationed at Dalny. declares
that whether Mongolia becomes an in
dependent monarchy or a vassal state
in relation to China, out witn tne wid
est autonomy and guaranteed invlola
blllty, Russian Interests demand that
China shall net cross beyond the Gobi
deseri. and that the whole of Mon
golia northward from Gobi, including
the Kobda region, shall not Do con
verted Into a Chinese province, but shall
remain forever InaccesKlble to Chinese
settlement and the Introduction there
of Chinese troops.
Offlelal Suggests Remedy.
"The installation of China upon the
Siberian frontier, the transformation or
Mongolia Into a Chinese parade ground.
Into a military base for the Chinese
army. Russia cannot permit." says this
official. "We consider that the best
form of state organization for an inde
pendent Mongolia will a federation of
the separate principalities and the
Kobda region with an administrative
federal center at Vlyasutai. The Ur
yankhalsk region, that Is, the entire
table-land northward from the Tan-
nu-Ola range to the basin of Lake
Kosogoda. must not In any circum
stances be Included in the federation,
as having nothing in common with
Mongolia, but being subject to Inclu
sion in the composition of Russian
nossessions. Independently of this, we
must correct our Siberian frontier with
Mongolia in the Baikal region in such
wise that the strategic roads leading
from Mongolia via the Eayanask moun
tains and through the defile of Kha-
mur-Daban to Irkutsk and Nizhne
Udinsk enter into our boundaries. This
is essential to the safety of the Clr-
cum-Baikal Railway and the guarantee
of communication of the Far East with
the Volga regions. -
"The conversion of Mongolia into a

Inventive genius and the charming
designs that were everywhere to be
seen were' silent tributes to the effi
cacy of the work. It was shown that
Nature's designs were applicable to
any kind of work.
Fine Clothing Is a Feature.
Just a glimpse was permitted in the
sewing room, which might have been
taken for the room of a fashionable
dressmaker, or part of an exclusive
department store. Women's garb from
those frilly, intimate articles, which
it is beyond the province of a mere
male to discuss, to evening gowns, ef
fective in coloring and cut, elaborate
opera cloaks and every variety of cos
tume imaginable were to be found
there. r.
It was obvious that the problem of
"what shall I wear?" would never be
a worry to the student who had passed
through this feature of the Jefferson
High School :urrlculum.
The sewing and art exhibits repre
sented four years' work in those stud
ies, whiie that in the domestic science,
room covered merely one year' course
of elementary food study.
The course consists of one year
work in cooking, two years of sewlnR,
the fourth year being devoted to food
studies of an advanced nature.
With the exception of rare instances,
the domestic science classes spell the
doom of the frying pan, and that char
acteristic American culinary implement
bids fair In Portland to be asextinct
as the Dodo.
Incidentally a new vocabulary of
culinary admiration is being taught.
"Dainty" is taboo, so Is "delicious." but
those who dare not, for fear of the
instructors, voice these words with
respect to the Jefferson exhibit are
compelled merely to think them.

Into the domestic life of Russian Si
beria. Thibet Is Feared.
"A Mongolian federation can in no
case extend to Thibet, which must not
unite with Mongolia; otherwise the
Mongolian element will derive too much
Importance in Central Asia and may
prove dangerous to political equilib
rium. . The youthful Mongolian state
cannot suddenly be placed in possession
of its powers; for if this were done It
would speedily become an arena for
political and economical conflict of
both domestic parties and foreign pow-
ers, and therefore quite naturally the
question of a Russian politico-economic
protectorate comes to the front. Ree
ported attempts on the part of China:
to recover her political authority in
Mongolia are possible. In order to
paralyze such attempts Russia must
consolidate her position at the gate of
Mongolia: from the west In the val-
leys of III and the Black Irtish; from
the north at Lake Kosogoda and in the
Klakhta highways; she must develop
her network of railways in the regions
contiguous to the foregoing and intro
duce the same in conjunction with cor
responding Mongolian railways."
In this context it is interesting to
note that a paper of the standing of
the Russkoe Slovo of Moscow makes
the remarkable statement that Japan
in no circumstances will permit Russia
to establish a protectorate over Mon
golia, and that recent press statements
relating to England, Japan and Rus
sia, whereby England secures a free
hand in Thibet, Russia the same in
Mongolia, and Japan the same in South
Manchuria, are merely in the nature of
vague speculation without foundation
in fact.
Kusalaa Evasion Not Welcomed.
"South Manchuria." declares this or
gan, "Is already in the entire possession
of Japan; If any power is anxious to
take it away from her, let that power
try. But demonstratively to announce
the annexation of Manchuria and there
by to elicit a protest from America and
the rest to violate the Portsmouth
treaty, which lays down the principle
of the open door in Manchuria no, the
Japanese are not so naive as to do this.
In any case Manchuria belongs to them.
But the penetration of Russia into Mon
golia the Japanese will never allow."
