rtev. jonn i' reaencK Hanson, peace
and temperance evangelist and repre
sentative of the Society of Friends,
was honored guest at a luncheon given
by Fortland workers on Wednesday
In the loung Mens Christian Asso
ciation. Mr. Hanson has just returned
from Europe, where he has been en
gaged in evangelistic work for the
past year. He Is a Norwegian by
birth, but came to this country in
1856. He has been a recorded minister
of the Society of Friends since 1S63.
His recent trip is the fifth jotirnev
that he has made In the interest of
his denomination to conduct evange
listic tours in Europe. He has visited
England, Ireland, Norway, Denmark
Sweden and Germany upon these oc
casions and 35 years ago was instru
mental in founding Denmark's Afholds
Mode, or total abstinence organization.
At that time he and Mrs. Hanson
had to be guarded to and from their
meetings, as they were in danger of
being mobbed. Upon his recent visit
he attended the thirty-fifth anniver
sary of the organization, in which
there were 50,000 people in parade, and
wo great a concourse was present that
speakers addressed the crowd simul
taneously from four different stands
Denmark has just passed its woman
miffrage amendment and expects to
have national prohibition as soon as
we attain it here.
while in Norway Mr. Hansen at
tended the unveiling of the statue on
the boundary line between Norway and
Sweden, celebrating 100 years of peace
between the two countries. Mr. Han
eon states that he found temperance
sentiment a good deal more advanced
in Norway than in Denmark, as they
have had some sort of temperance ad
vocates for 64 years, although they
do not have, at the present time, as
mariy active workers.
They are expecting to be rid of the
whole traffic just as soon as the peo
ple are given a chance to vote upon
it. The licensed saloon only remains
now in a few of the larger towns. Mr.
Hanson stated that it is generally
conceded that tlie Gottenberg system
of municipal operation and control of
the saloon has been found a complete
failure and has hampered real temper
ance reform. This is all the more In
teresting when it is noticed that some
such plan -is being advocated as a
remedy for England's liquor troubles.
As is usual with these compromise
methods, the liquor people are found
securely entrenched behind them.
While in London. England, Mr. Han
son took a trip to Jordans, the scene
of William Penn's activity. It was
from this point, now called Chalfonts,
that William Penn left for America
when he founded the great state of
Pennsylvania. He used to preach there
in the old-fashioned Friends' meeting
house and he is buried in grounds on
the property. This historic spot has
now become a Mecca for Friends (Qua.
kers) from all parts of the world.
With reference to the outlook for
peace, Mr. Hanson said that in Den
mark, Norway and Sweden the com
mon people have taken the movement
up heartily and are busy organizing
no that at the close or the war they
may be in a position to take some
concerted action that will preclude
the possibility of another such war.
Mr. Hanson does not think that the
.prospects for speedy peace are at all
bright and believes that there will
be at least one great aerial battle.
From inside information which he re
ceived while in Europe he is quite con
fident that Germany's resources are
not anywhere near exhausted and that
the measures which she has taken, as
for example, the limiting of bread con
sumption, are wise precautions looking
far Into the future and not an indica
tion that her resources are now being
taxed.
He does not believe that the United
States will be able to do anything
much ns yet toward restoring peace, as
the belligerents have not yet come to
the period where they will listen to
any such arguments.
In his evangelistic work Mr. Hanson
estimates that he has held something
more than 2.00 meetings within the
year, mainly in Norway, in which
country he accompanied Missionary J.
J. Armiston in his missionary boat to
many remote and difficult spots up
and down the coast; He says that this
has been one of the hardest years of
his life, although one of the most
fruitful.

THE work that has been accom-
X pllshed by the Portland Graded
Union of Sunday school workers was
shown to advantage during the recent
Sunday school convention. That the
Graded Union has made itself felt In
the schools of the state was evident
when the demonstrations were given
in the pageant and in the various sec
tional gatherings.
Mrs. F. It. Cook presided at the ses
sion Friday afternoon and Mrs. C. A.
Morden gave an excellent and inspir
ing paper Thursday. The Graded Union
meets every Friday in the Library, room
A. At 2 o'clock there is a teachers'
training class, at 3 o'clock music and
discussion of practical Sunday school
methods and at 3:30 sectional confer
ences. The union is not limited to
any particular denomination. Anyone
who is interested in perfecting methods
for Sunday school teaching will . be
welcomed.
The organization helps teachers to
make the Sunday school bo interesting
that the children will be anxious to
attend and will receive instruction that
will be a benefit to them intellectual
ly, morally and spiritually. Here Is
the slogan of the Portland Graded
Union:
We stand for:
Proficiency in Sunday school teaching.
Graded schools and graded lessons.
Up-to-date Sunday school methods.
The officers are: President, Mrs. F.
Dr. and Mrs. Moses have been In
Portland only since last August, but
in that short time they have found a
place in the hearts of the people and
have received deserved recognition.
Mrs. Moses is president of the Port
land Association of the Women's Board
of Missions of the Congregational
Churches. The district Includes Port
land, Hood River, St. Johns and several
nearby towns. Both Dr. and Mrs.
Moses went to Hood River last Tues
day and participated in the programme
of the 19th annual meeting of- the
Portland Association of Congregation
al unurcnes neld In the Riverside
Church.
Settlement AVorlt la Activity.
Mrs. Moses has always been interest
ed in mission work. In Chicago she
was a member of the Board of Mis
sions and took an active part in es
tablishing and maintaining missions.
She was also deeply interested tn set
tlement work. In the Sunday school
in Chicago there were children repre
senting 20 different nationalities and
Dr. Moses declares it was the rare tact
and kindliness of his wife that brought
them all together, kept them in har
mony and inspired them to loyal serv
ice for the church.
Mission work was done bv Mrs.
Moses among Armenians in Chicago and
among Italians in rew Haven, Conn.
While her husband was taking a spe
cial course at Yale and gathering some
extra degrees, she occupied her time
with settlement work.
When asked what part of the coun
try she liked best, Mrs. Moses said:
Its hard to say. I have so many I
friends In so many places." Among the
states in which she has ties of friend
ship are Illinois, New York, Connecti
cut, Minnesota and last, but not least,
Oregon. And she loves this place and
the people of her church. They are such
fine, loyal, friendly people, she says.
Church Membership Doubled.
Mrs. Moses has made about 500 calls
since she has been here and has inau
gurated a system of calling which is
working out wonderfully well. The
membership of Waverly Church has
doubled since Dr. and Mrs. Moses ar
rived here. The calling must have had
its effect.
The last church Dr. Moses had before
he came here was the West Pullman
Church, Chicago. After resigning there
Dr. Moses decided that he would take
his wife on a second honeymoon trip.
After many years of hard work they
had earned a rest, so they started out
to travel and visited all parts of the
United States, until the call from Port
land came and was accepted and here
"they lived, happily ever after,"

scene of the tragedy. Iron slugs were
used in the shells. Two empty shells
were found in the gun.
The authorities say that Manfredl re

Three years ago an unidentified
Italian entered Manfredl s clothing

himself, stabbed Manfredl In the ab
domen. Manfredl recovered after five

without a moment's warning fired threo
shots into Manfredi's body. One shot
