TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, rORTLAND, 23, 1915. MOTHER'S UNFAILING LOVE MADE TOPIC OF PASTOR'S PLEA Rev. Oliver P. Baum Shows How Affection of Mother, Like That of God, Is Often Unrequited. Text: And It was told David what Rizpah had done. II Samuel xxl:ll. BT REV. OLIVER P. BAUM. D. D. Calvary l'resby terlan Church. RIZPAH Is a character In the Old Testament that seems to hold a place In history held by very few mothers of the long ago. She cer tainly knew something about sorrow. In the tragic life she was called to live, one sorrow alter another followed in quick succession, until you wonder how even the mother heart could stand the strain and the tension for so long. Kizpah was a foreigner. She be longed to a tribe that lived in South eastern Palestine known as the Ilivites. From this tribe Esau got one of his wives. She was forced to be come the concubine of King Saul, and this is suggestive. There must have been something very inviting in the appearance of Rizpah to have been chosen by the King for a place In the royal household. It has been said that one of the tragedies of history is that it is possible for man to possess the body of woman, without possessing their hearts, and it seemed in those days a Kins could choose whomever he would. Children Put Above Idfe. To Rizpah there were born two sons Armoni and Mephibosheth and, like all natural mothers, she loved her chil dren better than her own life. Like the mother of the Gracchi, she could look at her two boys and say, "These are my jewels." Kins? Saul encountered the Philis tines and received a battle wound. He asks his armor-bearer to slay him with his sword In order that the un circumcised Philistines may not kill him with great cruelty, and after the death of King Saul the royal hoose: hold goes forward to new liberty. Now, in the army of King Saul, Abner was the most popular man, and he fell in love with the widow Rizpah and she had great influence over his life, but just then a traitor took the life of Abner. adding one more sorrow to the experience of this Mother of Sorrows. Then there comes the famine of three years year after year and David in quires of the Lord the cause of tho famine and he Is told it Is because Saul failed to treat the Glbeonites properly. Then the King grants the ITALIAN ARTISTS BEGIN TO LEAVE RANKS OF METROPOLITAN SINGERS More Important of Younger Men Already Are Called to Colors Patriotic Touch to Production of Sweeps Over Audience Atlantic Fleet Officers Enthusiastic Guests. BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, May 32. (Special.) It would seem as though Giullo Gattl-Casazza, the energetic Im presario of the Metropolitan Opera Company, has not seen the last of har boring his artists together so that grand opera at the great Broadway house may continue unimpeded. While the German artists of necessity re mained in this country, there is not a little question about the Italian condi tion, and already some of the most Important of the young men have been called, to the colors. Among these are Ferrarl-Fontana, who sailed leaving his wife, Mme. Mar garete Matsenauer, with their little daughter, iu this country. -Mme. Mat senauer was on a concert tour through New York state when her husband sailed for Italy, and the departure is pending of Martinelli, Botta and many others of the Italian contingent, Te gant having already gone. The eminent I'olaccu and his charm ing wife were to have sailed on the Duca d'Aosta, but owing to the fact that Mme. Polacco became seriously ill the sailing was, if not renounced, at least considerably postponed. So far as the Americans are con cerned, many of them feel that if there is a steamer crossing that is the one big object in life and there were a great many who went out, including ' Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Guard, Mr. Guard better known as the newspaper man's friend "Billy" Guard, of the Metropoli tan Opera-House. and on the same steamer was Algernon St. -John Bren non, whose tribute to the late lamented Charles Frohman was one of the finest expressions written. Perhaps Mr. Brennon is planning to be a war cor respondent, for which his experience as musical critic should go far in his equipment. In regard to the artists expected In this country next season. Loudon Charl ton bases his hope of having Josef Lhevinne here upon the following let ter from the Russian pianist, now con fined, practically speaking, in Germany. Lhevinne writes: "While it is impossi ble to give you binding assurance at the present time, I am doing my best to obtain authorization to leave for a neutral country. This permission can be secured only with the assistance of influential friends and necessarily will require some little time. I have every hope, however, of being with you next Winter." Lhevinne has been granted privileges not ordinarily permitted as ia indi cated by the fact that he has been allowed to make several short concert tours which have taken him away from his home in Wannsee for several weeks at a time. He spent two weeks in Budapest where he played three con certs and in Berlin he also has ap peared with marked success. None of the pianists now here will leave and from the present outlook sev eral of them will have extensive tours, a great number of engagements already being booked. Paderewskl plans to return to his home in Morges. Switzerland, after completing what he came to undertake. The collection of a great fund from America for the support of the suffer ers of his country. He is devoting him self to this, heart and soul, and almost has forgotten that he has a long Ameri can tour before him which will require the greater concentration and work in point of the fact that he has let him self get far from the realm of music. No one who has had the privilege of seeing and speaking with Paderewski can doubt that he is deriving very great benefit from the present dis traotion from his music, as he has never looked so well nor seemed so healthy in his life. Camille Saint-Saena arrived in New York on his way to San Francisco, v.-hero he is engaged for four concerts to be given Saturday night, June 12, Wednesday night. June 16, Sunday, June 20, and Saturday night. June 26. His arrival had certain sensational fea tures in point of the fact that he was met at the steamer by Mme.' Elise Kutscherra, who had expected a kindly greeting from him owing to her ac quaintance with him abroad. Those who witnessed the meeting when the venerable French .composer stepped off the Rochambeau ' saw the majestic looking lirunnhilde throw her arms about the great master and express her joy upon his safe arrival. Ha greeted her cordially, called her by name and said: "Comment allex veus." Suddenly remembering himself and his bitterness against the warring country, he shouted, "No, no, get away, you aro German." The singer was overcome with sorrow and surprise and gave ut terance to many expressions of grief that a man of his greatness could so far have forgotten bis great love for Gibeonitei their revenge, and asks that they choose what shall be done, and they ask that seven sons of King Saul be given them to hang upon the hill of Gibeah. and this request is granted, and among- the seven there were the two sons of Rizpah and the five sons of Mlchal. Now, in all probability these seven sons were hanged or gib beted upon crosses of wood among the rocks of Gibeah, and they hung there and were not suffered to have a decent burial, the prey of the birds by day and of the beasts by night. Watch Kept Over Bodies. Now we come to the thrilling part of the story, as it pertains to Rizpafli, the mother of these two sons. For six months she went to watch their bodies, in order to keep the birds from prey ing upon them by day and the jackals from feasting, upon them by night There she stood, day and night, for six months under the fierce Syrian sun by day, and at night entering upon her vigil, amid all the desolateness of the night at Gibea alone. I imagine it presented a weird sight to the men laboring in the fields aa they passed by and went to their work, as they looked upon the long watch of this mother, as day after day and night after night she tarried beside her dead. I have selected this story of Rizpah because the theme it embodies is un changeable; it is timeless and, while this thing happened something about 4000 years ago, it is as fresh and frag rant today as it ever was. It carries with it the fine suggestion of the un swerving devotion and loyalty of the mother-heart one of the strongest, if not the strongest, affections in human relationships. I am reminded that this character is not only mentioned in the Bible, but it finds a place in literature. You remember how Tennyson tells the story, after having listened to an ac count of a mail robbery by two men, Rooke and Howell; how they were found guilty by the testimony of Phoebe Hessell, and how they were gibbeted on the very downs of the country place where the crime was committed; how they were to hang there amid the gazes of the passersby, without a decent burial, to atone for their crime. They were gibbeted upon the cross, perchance, hanging until the elements had decayed the garments and Wagner and the fact that Wagner him self had pronounced Saint-Saens as the greatest living French cdmposer. - She also recalled the fact that two years ago, when he conducted In Berlin the 100th performance of his own opera, "Samson and Delilah,'' at the Royal Opera-House he appealed to the Kaiser in order to secure some changes that he wanted. - The Kaiser replied that everything should be Just as the composer desired and lent every effort to make the pro duction a brilliant success. Mme. Kut scherra later wrote to Saint-Saens in no uncertain terms and reminded him of the fact that, although she was born in Prague of Slav descent and received her education in Germany, she is mar ried to a Belgian, now in the army, her brother is in the French army., as are two of her nephews. It Is true that she has been noted as a Wagnerian singer, but she Insisted that she loves France, and particularly Paris, as well as Saint-Saens. The following letters which passed between the singer and the composer will not be without interest. Madame Kutscherra wrote: "Whatever I may be I am first 'an 'artist, and art has no country. I suppose this is the grati tude you, the great Saint-Saens, show to the Belgians. It is nice and I thank you. You can read in the papers how much your brutality has amused me. I know you are too obstinate to apolo gize. As you have blamed me before all the people without compunction, I take my revenge in accusing you before all the world. You have failed in gen erosity to a Woman and an artist." To this Madame Kutscherra received the following letter, which she calls an apology: , "Before the war, since residing in Paris, you have been known as a Ger man Wagnerian singer. I met you in Berlin and you asked me to give a re cital with you, which I did not do. You gave two consecutive concerts com posed entirely of German music, and as the French public had been so ap preciative, you then announced you would give a recital of French compo sitions only, seemingly appearing to confer a favor on us. Since the war you declare yourself a Belgian. Why did you not say so before?" It Is certain, however, that Saint Saens accompanied the singer, inas Sunday Church Services (Continued From Page 8.) school. 10 third Sunday at 7:aX holy co la in union.

LATTER IAY SAINTS, i Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day the flesh, until there was nothing hut the skeleton of bones, shaken by fierce winds and storms, until they began to fa.ll from their places, one by one. to the ground below, and how the mother of Rooke used to go in the silence of the night and pick up the bones of her boy and carry them, one by one, to the old horeham churchyard and lay them together to rest. Poem Based on Event After Tennyson heard the story he wrote the poem and called it "Rizpah." There are some very fine and touching things in connection with that poem, such as when the woman came in to comfort the broken-hearted mother 6he replied; Madam. I be? your pardon! I think that you mean to be kind. But I cannot hear what you say, for my Willy's voice In ths wind. Then, when she comes down to the time of her departure from the earth, she.says: For I cared' so much for my boy that the Lord has looked into my care. And be means me, I'm sure, to be happy with Willy, I know not where, and with the last thought of her' life upon her boy, she goes out, hoping to find him in the great beyond. So Ten nyson has immortalized that thing of motherly devotion next to the day the Inspired writer has immortalized it in the Word of God. J. G. Stevenson tells the story in a poem which may be shocking to us of the Western world, but is none the less strictly suggestive. There was a robber eon who murdered his own mother. Her heart was mingled with the mud upon the highway. There it was trampled upon by the foot of man and beast. It became a dried figment, withered with the dust of the highway, and one day the son, the mother's mur derer, walking along the highway, slipped upon all that was left of his mother's heart and the dried-up re mains, with anguished concern, cried out: "My son, are you hurt?" T kerne of Lvva Carried. I say it is somewhat shocking to Western ears, but still it carries the great thought of that undying thing of the natural mother's heart the love for her child, the anxiety and consid eration for the welfare of her child. "Carmen" much as she has photographs of her self and the composer In her own music-room In Paris. Notwithstanding the fact that it was for the benefit of the sewing girls of Paris that "Carmen" was sung on Thursday night at the Metropolitan Opera-House, Geraldine Farrar suc ceeded in bringing an overwhelming hurrah for American patriotism. Tense as were the feelings of the audience who attended the performance of "Die Fledermaus," given by the Germans last week, following the sinking of the Lusltania, there was no less degree of tension in the audience that rilled the Metropolitan on Thursday night, fol lowing the message of President Wil son to Germany. All this .. tension biased into one great outburst when the curtains were raised betewen the third and last act of the Bizet opera -and Miss Farrar was revealed, standing on a pedestal in the garb of the Goddess of Liberty, bearing the National shield over her left arm and in her right hand the American flag. At the base of the pedestal, on their knees, were Misses Braslau and Sparkes, in the uniforms of Red Cross nurses. The drop, curtain behind Miss Farrar was made to look like the water, with light effects playing upon it, and as the singer began the first strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner," the audience, with a feeling awe, arose to their feet. She sang alone, accom panied by the orchestra, and at the close of the first stanza she said: "Please all sing it with me," and with an outburst that no words could de scribe the vast audience joined in sing ing the National hymn in a manner such as it has probably seldom been sung in the history of this country. It was a most moving spectacle, de void of hysteria, but filled with every lota of emotion which the human be ings present had to give. The opera was sung by Miss Farrar, Madame Alda, Martinelli. Amato, De Segurola, Miss Sparkes, Miss Braslau, Madame, Relss, Leonhardt and Defrere, and Polacco conducted. Among those present was Camille Saint Saens, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Otto H. Kahn. Many of the officer's of the Atlantic fleet, now in New York, were in the -?udience and these were among the most enthusiastic singrs. Saints. 868 Hemlock, Ladd's Addition. Sunday school at 10 A.

The world is di vided Into two classes, those who de serve little and get much, and those who deserve much and get HtUe. My mother belonged to the latter, and it has been a source of increasing res rot that I did not do more to prevent her Inclusion In tbis class." Mother Love Unrequited Often. Mr. Froude, in his life of Carlyle, tells about finding Carlyle's last letter to his mother, in which he says: "I am now grown old. I have had vari ous things to do and suffer, but of all the things that I have had to bt thank ful for is my mother, to whom I owe all that I am. May God reward you, my dearest mother, I never can." I might today show you now it has been the lament of humanity that the love of their mothers has been unre quited love in too many instances, and I might stir up your memories until you feel like writing & letter to your mother, if she lives: until the very strong affection of your heart might be aroused once more to tluw your appreciation of your mothei. if she, is living; but I want to suggest a way that I know your mother would wish, if she is living, and is what I thiuk she is; or If she has gone to the other side, and knows what I think she knows. The best way in the world to requite the love of your mother would be to quit playing the coward regard ing the religion and the faith of your mother which she taught you when you were a boy or a girl at her knee. I heard a young lady say in Port land, not very long ago, "I am net go ing to church now. . When I first came here I went regularly to church and wrote regularly to mother, but now that I am not going. I never mention it and mother thinks I am-going still." I am quite sure she is not the only one ashamed to have mother know the kind of life lived. A man, now a father with a family, said to me, "It is strange how men can grow up and for get their early training aa we do, isn't it?" Let me say, If you want to show respect to the memory of your mother or appreciation of her life, the one thing that comes closer to doing so than all others would be to show ap-4 ing, 11:30 and 8.

HEBER SPRINGS, Ark.. May 15. While out In the woods with a crowd of young folks gathering flowers a. tevf days ago. Miss Ida Woods, 18 years old, of Pangburn, was bitten by an Arkan sas rattlesnake and died a few hours later. She walked about 60 yards after the reptile had sunk its fangs into hef body, and then fell to the earth In an unconscious condition. She remained unconscious until death. preclation of the thing for which she gave her life, for which she lived and in which she died triumphantly. If she has gone. It will be a new day for the church and humanity when wo ad mit that we were cowardly and way ward and weak when we neglected those things our mothers made so much of. Requite your mother's love in that way. There is one more step for you to take and that is this: There is one thing only in the universe greater and stronger than a mother's love, and that is the love of God. That is all. "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have com passion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." God so loves me that he has my name written upon the palms of his hands. One of the tragedies of human life is that the love of God is unre quited trampled beneath unhallowed feet, ridiculed and spit upon by un grateful humanity. The love of Ood! HiKher than that we will never so: Deeper than that we will never know. The love of Uad! I was very much Interested some time ago in picking up an account of Norman MacLeod. In his "Highland Parish" he tells about a widowed mother, who was unable to pay rent and was threatened with eviction. She took her only child and started over the mountains to a friend who would help her, but never reached her desti nation. When she came to the top of the mountain a fierce storm rated, and the next day those going in searrh of her found her stripped almost to nakedness, lying dead in the snow. Mother Dies for Child. In a sheltered nook, not very far away, was her little child safe and se cure, with the clothing the mother had taken from her own body about it. The minister who officiated at the burial of that woman had a son who ultimately went to Glasgow, ye him self became a minister. One night he was conducting a service in a Glas gow church. The night happened to be stormy. Very few people came out. and he said to himself, "Since there are only a few here, and since I am reminded of the story of the woman's WAR FOUND OPPORTUNE FOR GROWING OF HERBS Time Thought at Hand to Cultivate Botanicals That Now Cannot Be Ex ported From Europe Native Products Also Lose Foreign Market. BT WILLIAM F. WOODWARD. DRUGGISTS, and particularly whole salers, frequently receive inquiries concerning the prices of roots, barks, herbs and other botanicals, usually as to the possibility of. culti vator them for profit. The greater part of these botanicals are used by manufacturing chemists In the preparation of extracts, tinctures, pills, tablets and the like, their use in volving various processes to obtain their full medicinal value. It has be come necessary of late years to standarize crude drugs and their ex tracts by a careful assay in order that exact and uniform results may be se cured in their administration. This requires careful handling;, garb ling, milling and powdering. The whole amount of botanicals used, such as could be cultivated in this country, does not represent a relatively larKe proportion of any one Item. Whole salers and roost retailers, however, must keep a large assortment, many items, each in rather a small amount. A large portion are compressed, put up and marketed in ounce packets, this process requiring special machinery and a large output to market them economically. A great many botanicals that could be raised in our gone in the past have been shipped from Europe Inasmuch as they could be gathered and prepared there much cheaper because of the great difference in labor conditions and low ocean freights. The war probably will make some radical changes in these conditions. The Agricultural Department is giv ing considerable attention to-the de velopment of the botanical industry In this country, particularly in the South ern states, where climate and labor FOREST SERVICE GIVES NEW LIST OF "DON'TS Smokers Are Warned Regarding Dropping Matches After Lighting Pipes, Cigarettes and Cigars, and Campers Also Instructed. U AS HINGTON. May 15. To obtain a the co-operation of th public In preventing forest fires, which are doing a great deal of damage In the East this Spring, the United States Forest Service has prepared 10 "dont's" to be observed in the woods. It is hoped that these rules may have a beneficial effect during the nre season of the Southern Appalachians, which is not yet over, and that of the North woods, which Is just beginning a rut which, from present indications, prom ises to be unusually severe. The "dont's" follow: Don't throw your match away until you are sure it is out. Don't drop cigarette or cigar butts until the glow is extinguished. Pipe Ashes Dastteroai. Don't knock out your pipe ashes while hot or where they will fall into dry leaves or other Inflammable ma terial. Don't build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. Don't build a nre against a tree, a log or a stump or anywhere but on bare soil. Don't leave a lire until you are sure it is out; if necessary smother it with earth dr water. Don't burn brush or refuse in or near the woods if there is any chance that the fire may spread beyond your con trol or that the wind may carry sparks where they would start a new fire. Don't be any more careless with fire In the woods than you are with Are in your own home. Fire Should Be Reported. Don't be Idle when you discover a fire in the woods; if you can't put it out yourself, get help. Where a for est guard, ranger or state Are warden can be reached, call him up on the nearest telephone you can find. Don't forget that human thought lessness and negligence are the causes of more than half of the forest fires in this country and that the smallest spark may start a conflagration thatJ will result In loss of life and destruc tion of timber and young growth val uable not only for lumber, but for their influence in helping to prevent flood, erosion and drouth. Many thousands of acres of forest and suburban woodland from Maine to Florida and from the Atlantic Coast as far west as Arkansas have been burned over already this Spring bv fires which started for the most part from preventable causes. On the Na tional forest purchase areas alone 49 fires occurred in March, burning over more than 6600 acres, while 44 fires love that my father told me. I think I will tell It." So he told the story. A few days later he was called to vls.t a man who was dylnc. and when he came in the man said: "You do not know me, yet I know you. I have lived In Glasgow some time, and have never gone to church, but the other niht I was passing your church and heard the singing and I stepped in and slipped into the back seat and heard you tell the story of the widow and her child.' and with great emotion be said. "I am that son. I never forgot my mother's love, but I never saw the love of Christ in giving Himself for me until now. My mother did not die In vain. Her prayers are answered." And he went out to meet his mother. You have been going to church, some of you. all thene years, but you have never seen the love of Jesus Christ ti giving Himxelf for you. I know It you could you would live dlf fcrently. Somehow that love needs to be vltullzc-i today, ami I would to God I had the power to take it up and vitalize it and present it to you in one concise state ment, "God Is Love." until you would never live a simile day without requit ing the love oi God In J thus Christ. It is the meanest thing under the sun) for a man to llvo without requltlm? love. No man will appear so mean as he that has lived his life, utterly ob livious of the love of God in Jesus Christ. The Scripture that is filled with pathos, and that which seems to carry all the intensity of the love of God in, it is that which tells us of Jesus Christ on the brow of Olivet, crying, "O Jeru salem. Jerusalem, thou that klllest the prophets, and ston-st them which are sent unto thee. How often would I have gathered thy children together even us a lien gatherrth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" There are two passages In the Old Testament as full of pain: "The God in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified." "The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider," and I am afraid even now I have not gotten you to know and consider. I am afraid you are going to live out your life as you have been living, ob livious to the love of God in Jesus ChriHt. conditions combine to offer a measure of hope that the Industry can be estab lished on a profitable basis. In our own Northwest section, it will take probably considerable time to develop In any degree, this Industry. I believe, however, that there is a field If the Interest of children can be enlisted in telligently in this work. It would be a phase of gardening, which while It mlijht not lead to much profit, certainly would prove most interesting. Th study of botany in a practical way ia only one of the valuable incidents con nected with the work. We have two native products, grape root and cascara bark, that have been in demand for a great many years less of the former, more of cascara, al though the sale of the latter during the past two vears has been decidedly slow, the excellent market which Eu rope provided for several years now being practically closed. There is A little frlnsent? raised In our state but It Is difficult of cultivation and in a financial way, the results usually are unsatisfactory. The cultivation of peppermint has been undertaken at one or two points in the Willamette Valley, with e. fair measure of success. Mr. Todd, a man of lonir experience in this work, has. we believe, made the statement that the climate and soil of this section is suited admirably to this work. Our state is peculiarly well suited to undertake the investigation and prac tical development of this work through our fine institution, the Agricultural ColleKe, with Its excellent staff of in structors who are men of practical knowledge in all matters pertaining to the work. There are many botanicals which could bo cultivated profitably by the sympathetic Interest which this In stitution and Its instructors would take. starting on private land near or with in Government boundaries damaged nearly 5500 acres. Fires In April were even more numerous and severe, but rains in the latter part of the month helped the situation somewhat. Fire statistics for April are not yet avail able. WOMEN ARE INVENTORS Instances Cited of New Ideas Being Given to Men. PHILADELPHIA. May 15. Women are responsible for many of the Im portant mechanical inventions of this age which are generally credited to men, according to Edward F. Trefz. field secretary of the United States Chamber of Commerce." who is in this city working in the interests of th new Chamber of Commerce of Phila delphia. "I believe," he said in addressing a meeting of the Women's Civic Confer ence, "that a large percentage of the labor-saving investions that we have in this country today are the results of Ideas that first occurred to women. In inaltinr a study of this question I found that my supposition was true." He then cited the following cases to prove his contention: "The cotton gin is credited to Eli Whitney. But I find that it was when he was In the South courting Mrs. Nathaniel Green, widow of the Revo lutionary War hero, that h first sug gested the idea of some easier method of extracting the seed from the cotton boll, and it took her some time to get the idea ino Whitney's head. It was only when she took a fork and jabbed It into a cotton boll pulling forth the seeds that he grasped the idea, and we have the labor and money saving ma chinery of today.
