I- Bishop's Talks Are Stirring. Bishop William M. Bell, D. D.. of Los Angeles. CaJ., has been delivering a (course of remarkable talks before the conference this week. He has touched concerning social, political, industrial and religious affairs. Bishop Bell has the reputation of being one of the fore most and boldest thinkers on these sub jects. , Large of figure, big in mind and ener getic In action, on the platform, pictur esque, ornate and chaste, and yet at the tame time skilled In the use of what fa called slang. Bishop Bell never falls lo electrify the conference and his ad tresses have been the most interesting part of the conference session, .which are looked forward to by ministers and laymen alike. -The Three Giants Home, Church, School." was the subject of the address Wednesday morning at the opening of conference by the bishop, with special 1 emphasis on the schools. ) ' "Under our present method." declared 'the bishop, "our schools have been paganised and we are becoming pagan. (The Bible and all hints of religious in struction are excluded from the schools. IThis is contrary to the history and tra ditions of this country., which is a Christian Nation. There must be no hint of religion on the part of teachers 'in the public schools. However, one of the reasons which keep the Bible out 'nf the public schools is the jealousy of the churches. The Methodists, Presby terians, Baptists. United Brethren and other churches are willing there should he religion taught in the schools, if ;their particular kind is taught, but not otherwise. The home Is an Important, wlant factor, and yet It has become a lil ace where the boys and girls sleep and get ham and eggs in the morning and a hand-out at night. Fathers and mothers no longer take seriously their responsibilities, and turn their children loose expecting the teachers in the pub tic schools to furnish the moral train ing they need. Our homes ought to be the places for the moral and religious training. Instructions from the home lttvks and stays with the boy. We must elevate the home. Readjustment Is Predicted. : "The church must do Its part. Po riety cannot reform Itself. No man ran save himself. God alone can save he country from the perils of the time. I have faith in this country and its in stitutions, but I want to say. brethren, ihe movements are dangerous and a knenaca which we cannot Ignore. Even (n tne church the materialism that has pprung np is a menace and we must ktmnA firm for the fundamental truths fcf the Christian religion, as the only. teal hope or this country. . - t n tn vtni vou brethren, that ii time has come in the history of his country when there must be a molete readjustment or a it airs, so- lally.

VAN WINKLE. . j .......... ..................I BOTPiniV rr. Jnna SJ. fSnecial.) Money was raalsed to pay the debt of the new Christian unuren nere uus week and the building was dedicated. Tk. now thiirf-h huildlnir. recently completed, is of the bungalow type and was designed ana duih py c puwci b. put to some use. And now there comes a widespread unrest, a desire to beat. destroy and disrupt. This is shown in the I. W. W. movement and in the great struggle that has been going on in the Republican convention at i,ni cago. It may result in the destruction of the Republican party, .whlcn was founded on a great principle. It no longer represents a great moral prin ciple. The great forces of society are getting beyond control, ana 1 ten you the situation is fraught with danger and there must be a readjustment. You and I must do our parts in bring ing about this readjustment. This church must do Its part. Money Is Bis Question. "The Government and great business concerns are all working ror money. The Government is concerned In taxes, the tariff, and no great moral question. Money controls all legislation. Collos sal fortunes are being piled up. I want it understood that 1 am no friend of poverty for myself or anybody else, and am no enemy of wealth. But the fact remains that there are more poor people in this country than ever, in spite of this tremendous accumulation of fortunes. There must be something wrong in a system that creates great wealth and makes great fortunes pos sible and yet the number of.. destitute people is on the increase. That system won't stand' long, but there must come a new alignment, a complete new' re adjustment of-, affairs, or something must give way. ' "It is the business of the church to study industrial conditions and try to make them better. I want a ministry that will do Its part. I want a min ister who gives me hot pepper one who strikes my life, one who comes straight at me. We must swat the evils about us. I like that word "swat" It is classical. Some people yell their heads off, but never move up a peg. Let us clean up conditions and make them better." TWINS' FUND REMEMBERED Tubercular Children Improving and Further Aid Slay Insure Cure. The fund for the benefit of the Johnson twins, which amounts to ap proximately $300, was added to yes terday when a contribution of $5 from a person signing himself "M.

H A VINT tried 10.000 criminal cases f and called forth a good hearty laugh In 999 of them, Frank D. Hennessy, soon to retire after four years' service as representative of the District Attorney In the petty couras, goes out of office with a record as a contributor to the gaiety of nations whn runs neck and neck with the best of them. In the Hennessy calendar. that day Is counted lost, totally and without insurance. In which. In the course of his appearance In the Munici pal court, he has not called forth at least one burst of general - laughter, half a dozen ripples of mirth and a score of smiles. The only one who does not partake of the gaiety is the prosecutor, who culls the choicest gems of his wit and sends them forth with an Innocent ex pression that makes them the more afTMittVA "Judge" Hennessy, as he is known in I faint recollection of dim distant aays tn which he resided for a time as po lice magistrate, probably is known to as many Individuals in Portland as any other and in addition he has a wide acquaintance , In penitentiaries and other houses of correction all over the countovamong men who have listened shrinkingly as the booming voice of the people's attorney set their Iniquity be fore the court. . Henaeasy Known as Wit. It is as a wit that Hennessy is best known and will be longest remembered. To the manner born, by right of race, the deputy would make the celebrated Sir Boyle Roche, author of that gem, "I smell a rat, I see him floating in the air, but. mark me, I shall nip him in the bud" would make Sir Boyle himself, take a back seat, were he here in the flesh. "Look at this big burly ruffian, this woman beater, sitting here, may It please the court." said Hennessy in one of his best efforts, "study his bestial countenance and cruel face, look at those gnarled hands and great muscles, and then turn your eyes upon this little woman, bearing In her face evidences of refinement, timid, shrink ing, and dressed with neatness and despatch!" Hennessy may have copied it out of a book, for his critics say that his humor Is not as spontaneous as he would have it appear, but, whether or not he did so, he actually put across, once upon a time, this old favorite: "Just tell the court what the words were that this defendant used to you, madame." Words Couldn't Be Repeated. "Oh. I1 couldn't repeat them; they are not fit for a decent person to hean." "All right, then, Just whisper them to Judge Taswell." Purest gem in the collection of Hen nessy's sayings, is the peroration of .his closing argument in the only case that ever he tried In Circuit Court. felts. now has one of the largest congrega tions in Sheridan. At . the ' services this week, held under the direction of Rev. G. E. Williams, state evangelist; $2200 was raised in ' 25 minutes. The debt was $1890. The surplus will be used in furnishing the church. The defense was an alibi, a regular thieves' alibi, which Hennessy, wily in all the tricks of the underworld. tore to shreds, showing how this wit ness had been impeached, how that one had contradicted himself, and how the other told nothing that was mi terlal. "Now, gentlemen of the jury, what becomes of this fine alibi? this con cocted defense that was to send this chap out into the free world, unpun ished for his horrible crime? I'll tell you. gentlemen of the jury. This alibi comes floating from the downy clouds, dropping through the . blue air like a snowflake, and falls to the ground witn a e-r-r-ash!" . The plea of being an innocent re ceiver, a favorite refuge of petty thieves "caught with the goods on, is an opening which Hennessy never misses. Was He Tall" Manf "You say you got this watch from a stranger? Was he a tall, heavy-set man, .about 5-feet-4 and weighing 120 pounds? A blonde with dark hair and brown complexion? Aha, Your Honor, that is the mysterious John Doe that the police have been looking for these three years: Being something of a theatrical man. Hennessy never overlooks the melo dramatic possibilities of the faithful wife or sorrowing mother, and when one of these actors appears In one of his cases, the court can scarcely be dis tinguished from a stage In the "ten-twenty-thirty" circuit. ."Go home with your wife," is a favorite expression of the prosecutor. "She's the best friend vou arot. This boy's poor old mother has gone to the front for him, your honor, and on her account I ask that he be given another chance." Yet with all the appeal to the ele mentary emotions, there is a note of sincerity ringing In these appeals, and Hnnessy, ruthless, savage and almost brutal at times to the downright crim inal, is always approachable' on the side of sympathy and mercy. With heroic stature, ? leonine head, resonant voice and above all his irre pressible humor, Hennessy is a char acter that will be sadly missed when the Cameron force retires from office.
