Methodist ministers may te shooting
at one another in Europe.
Thirty-six preachers of the Wesleyan
faith in the conference of South G?r
many were called to the German col
ors, while at least three-fourths of
their brethren in France were sum
moned to support the tricolor, according-
to the Rev. John W. Robinson,
bishop of Southern Asia, who addressed
the annual conference of the Methodist
episcopal Church of Oregon yesterday.
"The board of foreign missions is
hard hit by the war." said Bishop Rob
inson, then telling of its immediate ef
fect in Germany and France.
"England and Germany, with the
United States, are the great Protestant
countries supporting the, foreign mis
sions," he said, "and the work in Eng
land and Germany is paralyzed. This
puts the entire -burden ou the Method
ist Church in the United States. Un
less the work is to be greatly crippled
and curtailed, the support that has been
coming from the warring nations mus
.be made up in this . country."
Bishop Robinson appealed to the
Methodist preachers of Oregon to pre
sent the case to their congregations,. eo
that additional support might be forth
coming and the missionary work be
carried forward' " with ' ' undiminished
vigor. -
Bishop Robinson made these asser
tions in a brief address at the morn
ing session, following his introduction
to the conference by Bishop Cooke. He
will deliver the address at the anniver
sary of the Foreign Missionary Society
at the conference meeting tonight.
9100,000 Fund Is Goal.
" It was unanimously decided at the
morning :session to embark on a cam
paign for a 1100,000 fund for the bene
fit of retired ministers of the Oregon
conference. Bishop Cooke waa em
powered to appoint a commission com
posed of .the district superintendents
and two ministers and two laymen
from every district to organize and
carry out the campaign, which is to
begin immediately.
The proposal occasioned discussion,
in the course of which the Rev. D. H.
Leach declared it unjust that members
of the conference engaged in "detached
service" should not contribute to the
fund for the superannuated preachers.
Professor Sherwood, of Willamette
University, declared that this criticism
was not warranted so far as he was
concerned,, for the reason that he had
never been asked to contribute.
The Rev. Clarence Trute Wilson, who
is in "detached service" a secretary of
the temperance work of the church,
declared that an assessment against
such workers would not be fair, be
cause it would fall on their personal
incomes.
Equalized Salaries Wanted.
"Give us congregations and we will
do our share," he said.
xne tev. u. A. waters declared tnat
the differences in salaries received by
preachers in the big city churches arid
the rural and suburban charges should
be equalized. He said that the country
preacher, with the same education and
ability, gets $300 or $400 a year, and
that he has to have a garden and chick
ens to enable himself and family to
live. This, he said, was all out of pro
portion to the $5000 salaries allowed
city ministers, service considered.
Rev. C. E. Cline brought balm to the
controversy when he said that he had
gone through both the chickens-and-garden
and- the high-salary stage, and
that he had never been happier than
when - be was living on the humbler
salary.
This . brought laughter, and. the con
ference was amused again a little later,
when . Dr. Cline, as one of several of
the veteran preachers, who were called
to stand while Bishop Cooke paid them
an eloquent tribute, replied that while
he "supposed it was an honor to be a
veteran preacher, he would gladly
trade the honor for teeth and hair;"
Collection Plan Made.
The following is the plan that was
adopted to provide the $100,000 fund:
A general collection will be taken up
by charges paying $300 or less to the
pastor; those paying from $300 to $600
will be assessed 3 per cent: $600 to
$900, 4 per cent: $900 to $500, 5 per
cent, and more than $1500, 6 per cent.
.The question of "Oregon dry" was
brought up by the reading of a tele
gram from Representative Hobson rela
tive to the Undtrwcod bill proposing
to levy a "war tax" on beer, wines and
spirits. The conference adopted a res
olution, to be sent to the Oregon Con
gressional delegation, opposing such a
tax as being of assistance to tho liquor
Interests and making the Government
a partner in the business.
In the closing moments of the ses
sion Bishop Cooke referred feelingly to
the- liquor question.' saying that "it
isn't merely a question of putting
liquor out of business, but of the sal
vation of our beloved country.
"The diabolical influence of this ac
cursed thing." said the bishop,
"reaches into and corrupts our politics.
You know what Oregon needs. It isn't
lesources. These she has in abun
dance. She is blessed by nature as few
states are.

Anticipating an overflow crowd to

last night's session. Mr. Piatt made
THE opening vesper- service of the
Fall season aft the Young Worn
. en's Christian.. Association, which
will be held today a 4:30 o'clock, will
mark the firsts appearance here xf Miss
Georgia C. Wicker, the new religious
secretary. Miss Wicker will preside
and "will make an address. The Rev.
Frank .W. .Gorman will sing. Mrs. El
sie Bond Blschoff will preside at the
piano. The programme will be fol
lowed by a social .hour. All women
and girls will be welcomed. .
Miss Wicker comes to Portland high
ly recommended as an" entertaining
and.- interesting . speaker, a young
woman of great tact and ability and
with an' education best suited to fit her
for the office she now holds. She
comes , of an old New England family.
She is a descendant of Elder Brewster
and Governor Thomas- Pierce, of Mas
Miss Wicker was educated in Bos
ton. She became a business girl, being
an expert in retouching photographs.
In addition she. took-a-great interest
in religious work and taught Sunday
school. After a short time Miss Wick
er decided to enter the Hartford School
of Technology arid fit herself to teach
the Bible. In. speaking of her work
she said: "I thought it would be better
to retouch characters than negatives."
"The business training received by
Miss Wicker gives her special qualifi
cations to understand the business
girls," said Miss James, the general
secretary, in discussing the new secre
tary. "Miss Wicker has some splendid
ideas about keeping the girls inter
ested. She believes in girls' clubs and
has been exceedingly successful in
their organization. Entertainments,
plays and all sorts of good, times come
under the scope of her plans for. girls."
. Miss Wicker believes that the best
discipline is Interesting occupation and
so she keeps her young friends doing
things and having a good time, improv
lng the moments. In Wethersfleld
Avenue Congregational Church, at
Hartford, she worked wonders with the
girls, it is said.
The Friendship Club, of which she
was leader, was one of the finest or
ganizations for girls in the East and
in the many letters given her by her
girls of the club she left she was
urged by the Easterners to organize a
similar club here. They said: "We
want to tell them about what we do
here this Winter and we want them to
write to us."
"It is safe to predict," said one of
the workers, "that Miss Wicker will
win the hearts of the girls of Portland.
The history of the clubs she has formed
and their workings is of great interest.
She encourages the girls to read, gets
the best out of them, makes them hap
py and self-helpful - and creates all
around her a wholesome atmosphere.
Her deep knowledge of religious mat
ters is blended in her teachings with
a friendliness that captures the atten
tion and holds the interest.

laying particular stress, however, on
the large number of foreigners now in
the United States and the possibilities
for work among them.
He said the "nations of the future"
would be set around the shores of the
Pacific, and besought the people of the
Pacific Coast to keep -on good terms
with the people of the Orient.
"The people of the whole United
States should not become embroiled be
cause of some local disaffection on the
Pacific Coast," he said, "arid it rests
with you people to treat your neigh
bors with, thegreatest courtesy."
He declared that the people of the
Far. East were hungry for American
civilization and that they are looking
to America to lead them in the work
ing out of -their problems. ;
Not only is the American influence
felt in the Orient. but' in the whole
world, according to Mr. Piatt, who re
ferred to a. book written by William
T. Stead on "The Americanization of
the World."
