Scout Young Camp. A most inspiring evening .of patriotism and memory is anticipated, which the public is Invited to share. The detailed programme fol lows: Organ prelude, by K. E. Coarsen. Hymn No. S62. Responsive reading: IBlessed Is the nation whose God is the Iord. And the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin Is a reproach to any people. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the .wicked beareta rule, the people mourn. And Samuel said: Whom have I op pressed or of whom have I received bribe to blind mine eyes withal T And they said: Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand. The Prince that wanteth understanding is a great oppressor. But by a man of understanding and knowledge the state shall be prolonged. Choir Response: The Lord is our Judge. If thou harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, The Lord thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall overtake thee. Blessed shalt thou be in the city and blessed ehalt thou be in the field. Blessed shalt be the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest In and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face. Choir response: Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the Inhabitants thereof. Loose the bands of wickedness and undo the heavy burdens. Let the oppressed go free; break every yoke. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning and thine health shall spring forth speedily. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us; then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. Choir response: Anthem, "To Thee, O Country," Elch bers. To thee, O country, great and free With trusting hearts we cling; Our voices tuned by Joyous love. Thy power and praises ring. Upon thy mighty, faithful heart. We lay our burdens down; Thou art the only friend who feels Their weight without a frown. For thee, we daily work and strive. To thee we give our love; For thee with fervor deep we pray; To Him who dwells above. O God, preserve our Fatherland, Let Peace its ruler be. And let her happy kingdom -stretch From north to southmost sea. Scripture reading. Response: "Now Pray We for Our Coun try." Fisher. Now pray we for our country that America may be The holy, and the happy and the gloriously free; Who hlesseth her is blessed! So peace be In her walls.

Dr. James Dimond Corby, pastor o the First TJniversalist Church, at Broadway and East Twenty-fourth street, has just returned from the Universalis! general convention, at Los Angeles and Pasadena. It was expected the attendance would be rather small, as the chief strength of this church is along the Atlantic sea board and through the Middle West. But more than 600 registered and one WORSHIP OF WEALTH DECLARED BARRIER TO CHRISTIANITY Dean Ramsey Points Out That Demand of Christ Will Not Diminish and That Only Escape From Bitter Old Age Is Self -Sacrifice Dissatisfaction Is Considered. But when the young man heard that say ing he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. St.' Matthew xix:22. BY KEV. H. M. RAMSEY, Dean St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral. THE plain moral of the story of the rich young man who came to Jesus to ask the way to eternal life is, of course, the difficulty of car rying out the responsibilities imposed by wealth. "A rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. But the Christian religion, like the tax collectors, sel dom discovers men who admit that they have great possessions. It would not be the easiest task to persuade you that the worship of Mammon is a temptation which besets the way of every one and that those who yield to it are not always ! 41. the very rich.Rev. II. M. Ramsey Watts has a painting of Mammon, who is represented as swollen with wealth and success, haughty and arrogant, crushing the hearts and souls out of men and women and the face of Mammon, hideous as it is, haunts you as that of some one you know. But an artist presents things as they are and not as they appear to be. Evil never shows its real character; It makes itself attractive. We expect sin to be openly repulsive and those com mitted to its ways disgusting. As a matter of fact, we often find heartless murderers who are generous to aged parents and spoilers of homes with en gaging manners who are kind to chil dren. So Mammon has many clever disguises and plays on the natural am bitions of men and women, subtly sug gesting that the solemn warnings of the gospel, while true enough, do not apply to us. ' Dante in going through the Inferno saw this rich young man sadly seeking his lost opportunity. Regarded in that light the story is an instance of an ex perience which is universal. Stripped of its heightened colors, which are so frequent In the gospel narratives, we have here youth strong, lovable and full of self-reliance coming to the feet of the best conventions ever held is the verdict of the officers. Oregon Unlversalists were given prominent places on the programme. A paper was read before the National Women's Missionary Society by Mrs Lena A. Corby, which received high commendation, and Dr. Corby, the Ore gon missionary of the general conven tion, gave a stirring address on "Win ning the West." The Portland dele gates succeeded in securing a party of about 100 who will return through Portland. They will arrive Wednesday morning at 7:30. making their head quarters at the Benson Hotel. The party includes many laymen and women prominent in business, political and social as well as church life. Jo seph L. weet. of Attleboro. Mass.. one of the largest manufacturers of Jewelry in the East and a trustee of the con vention, will advise with the local con gregations with reference to extend ing the work and influence of Univer salism in the Northwest. Dr. L. S. McCollester, dean of Tufts College Divinity School, of Massachu setts; Dr. Lewis Beals Fisher, of Chi cago University; Mrs. Minnie J. Ayres, of Rhode Island, and Mrs. Lilla P. Huntley, of New York, officers of the Women Workers, will be heard at the great mass meeting arranged for Wednesday night In the church. Dr. G. L. Huntley, of New York, will preach for the Portland parish during his visit to the Northwest. Dr. F. A. Bisbee, editor Universalist Leader, is expected to speak at the mass meeting. Baptist Pastors to Exchange Pulpits Today. Rev. W. O. Shank Will Go to Ore scon City and Rev. W. T. Mllllken Will Speak on East Side. REV. W. O. SHANK, pastor of the East Side Baptist Church, and Rev. W. T. Mllliken, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Oregon City, will exchange pulpits today. The Oregon City Church is one of the strongest churches of the denomina tion in the state. It maintains several mission stations in the rural districts; keeps one regular missionary for this district; has recently given up 60 mem bers to organize a new church at Glad stone; and is progressive along all lines. The East Side Baptist Church work keeps right up. Since the Bulgin meetings hardly a Sunday goes by without additions to the church. The attendance has not dropped off during the Summer months. Just recently there was organized a strong brother hood. E. B. Barthrop is president, Charles Hood is vice-president, and C. W. Simon is secretary. The church voted to give the pastor a month's vacation during the month of August. The church is planning to open the work this Kali with a revival meeting, having., as a helper Dr. Bruce Evans. Apostolic Delegate Sched uled to Visit Portland. Prelate on Way to Seattle for Na tional Convention of Knight of Columbus. THE MOST REV. JOHN BONZANO, apostolic delegate, will be in Port land for one day en route to Seattle, where he will participate in the Na tional Convention of the Knights of Columbus. His excellency probably will be here July 29. In compliment to him there will be a reception and banquet at the Hotel Portland. Joseph Jacobberger, grand knight, has ap pointed as a committee of arrange ments: Chairman, John F. Daly; James Cooke, Frederick W. Goodrich, J. C. English, J. F. Clarkson and Roger Sin nott. Father E. V. O'Hara, who was a speaker at the recent convention of the Catholic Educational Association in St. Louis, gave an eloquent address in which he spoke of the duties resting upon parents to give their children a practical education. He said In part: Vocational training U one of the chief solutions of our most pressing industrial maladjustment. The limit of exploitation of our natural resources has been reached and our untrained workmen are marching un employed and empty-handed and sullen within the gates of every American city, from Seattle to Baltimore. The magnitude and the character of the problem of un employment confronting us Is calculated to make the eyes start from their very sockets. A partial remedy is to employ our own labor to fabricate our raw materials Into finished products. America is confronted with ft n nnnr- dented crisis and an unparalleled opportu- of mature experience for advice and I encouragement. I It is such a painting aa an artist I misrht maket of Snrr, tu on.4 Vila Hl.pl. 1 pies, of Goethe with Schiller, of Ten nyson on his long walks with Coven try Patmore, of any man with the op portunities and teachers of his life. Weakness of Youth Considered. There Is a ".endency everywhere. after the efforts of youth, to acquiesce in slender attainments. The answer of Christ to such weakness is a deliber ate rebuke In the interest of higher en deavor. It was his studied purpose to lure the soul on with ideals and ambi tions which disturb one's satisfaction. Life's ways are marked with opportu nities which serve the same high end. There was Robert Dolling looking for ward to an easy existence rendered un comfortable day by day with the vision of masses of men neglected by the dry and distant religion predominant in his time entering the priesthood to offer the best years of his life with the gifts of a great personality to the ameliora tion of the conditions of a Portsmouth slum. There, too, was Wendell Phillips, nur tured in culture, brought face to face with the shame of the slave traffic and awakened to the defense of a noble cause to which he devoted his whole life. It is the glory of the Christian religion,' as It was that of Its founder, to dignify and ennoble the common life. This it accomplishes by suggest ing ways and ambitions which are ever just beyond our grasp. Nothing so be littles our human nature as the con ceits to which men, in their weakness, give themselves. If those conceits were based on ac tual achievement and were the measure of the capacity of men, how. much poorer our common nature would be than it actually is. It is the persistent conviction of Christ and Christianity that there is more of latent ability and greatness in human life than man in his dreams believes. The sorrow of this young man is but the evidence of man's unbelief in his own powers. If you ask for an example of man's re sponse to Christ's efforts to rouse him to a realization of his inherent capac ity, you will find it the change of the narrow life of Saul of Tarsus Into the creative genius of St. Paul, the master Duiider of the early church. Practical Lessoa Is Offered. This story, I am sure, baa a practi y 'T ""-r 1 J If i vN h&l - I i-' Y i Y -J Ss jee.ir.si. Kr-esifc CF k t ' Y II -' - ' ' .. nity. Vocational training for the multitude will spell the conservation of the human resources of the Nation. It Is a measure second in Importance only to that of re ligious training and as a practical pro gramme Is largely inseparable from it. The American Federation of Catholic Societies will hold its 14th annual con vention in Toledo, O., August 15 and 18. Several prominent Catholics from the Pacific Coast states will attend. The convention will be solemnly opened on August 15 at 10 A. M. with pontifical mass at St- Francis de Sales Cathedral. It is expected that His Ex cellency the Most Rev. John Bonzano. apostolic delegate, will be in attend ance. In the White Tomple this morning the pastor. Dr. W. B. Hinson, will preach on "The Work of a Man." Mrs. Hutchinson and Mr. Whlpp will sing for the offertory "The Lord Is My Light," by Buck, and the quartet will be heard in the anthem. "Fear Not Ye. O, Israel." by Spicker. Tonight Dr. Hinson will take for his theme "William Jennings Bryan and His Nino Gods" and the Temple quar tet will sing the anthems "Sweet the Moments. Rich the Blejising." by Don-iretti-Dresslen and "Deep River." by Burleigh. There will be baptism, as usual, at the close of the evening service. The young people will hold their meetings in the lower temple and the ladies' par. lor at 6:30. The Sunday school opens at 9:50 A. M. and a hearty welcome is extended to all. Rev. Alfred Bates, of Warrenton. Hammond and Clatsop Plains, was a visitor in Portland during the week. He attended sessions at Chautauo.ua. He will preach at Clatsop Plains this morning and at Warrenton tonight at 8 o clock. Evangelical Churches Will Hold Camp Meeting. Sessions I'sder Directorship of Rev. C. C.

Poling is chairman; A. A. Winter, chancellor, and S. S. Mumey. presiding elder. Among the speakers will be: A. R. cal lesson for those who in their best moments, at least, believe in and re vere the religion of Jesus. The sym bol of that faith Is the cross of Christ and the ideal it represents Is primarily sacrifice. Out of the mists and clouds caused by the passions and strife of men that- sign emerges to hearten and to comfort. At this mo ment there arp thousands of young men and women who, in the w-armth of their new relationship to Christ by virtue of their confirmation, are in much the same attitude toward him as the young man in the story. And, as then. Jesus loves them. Youth with Its fervor and Its en thusiasms has always received special consideration from the religion of Christ and that religion has ever tried to draw youth on to a more abundant life. As the years go on and the temptations of life Increase and re sponsibilities and opportunities multi ply, what will be their attitude to him? Will they yield to the deadening in fluence of daily compromise or respond to the challenge of greater sacrifice? The end of one course is a paralysis of the nobler affections and enthus iasms which creeps on with time and. of the other, that tone and character which sacrifice alone confers. Of one thing the story under con sideration makes us absolutely certain, the demands of Christ will not dimin ish. He will be lnslsttent on Increas ing devotion and self-denial. He will not ask less, but more. The shadow of his cross will haunt the thoughts of the careless and come between them and the pleasures of their indulgence. They may refuse to listen, but sorrow must always stand between them and .the enjoyment of their possessions. The test of the two ways of life is to be found in the character formed by them. 1 ask you to think first of the career constructed on worldly maxima of compromise and self-seeking. That life may remain in the border land of religion .and on the outer edge of Christian practice. It is needless to say that In many ways such a life may mora easily reach what Is termed suc cess. To the world that Is its justifi cation; to religion that variety of sue sess is the proof positive of its fail ure.

See that life when sorrow strikes it to ths heart; when dlseast robs it of that suavity: when the awakened conscience works as a can cer. It lies helpless and afraid. It remembers in wonder that others have gained comfort from their reli gion, have been lifted high by such Borrows. It has no practical knowl edge of such experience. It can only writhe and curse. The toys in which that life trusted and the wisdom In which It placed its confidence are broken jetsam. But when time has healed those wounds, what then? Life settles down to a drab existence apart from God. self-centered and alone. Old age comes embittered and quer ulons. Christ ever demanded. In that greatest of paradoxes, that self be de nied that self might be won. Sacrifice was the only way out, consecration the only means of expansion into the glo rious heritage of the children of God. But that life made the great refusal and went away to find that self which stands traitor between its own best Interests and its God shriveled and falling. Now old and alone he faces eternity terror stricken or. worse, with the old hypocrisies continued. tew sadder words are heard on this earth than those which sometimes come from the lips of old men or old women: "I have never dons anything wrong. I have never Injured anyone." You realize sor rowfully that deceit has deceived It self and as you look Into the half vacant eyes you know at least that they have murdered their own souls. Then turn to a different picture. He has been reared under practical Chris tian Influence. Ha has been Instructed In the ways of religion and. in the first flush of his young mannood, he goes to Christ and enrolls himself un der that blood-stained banner. Some religionists would tell you that he lived happily ever after. But did he? Take a fair example. He soon discovers soma arduous duty. He might neglect it as many often do, but he goes brave ly on. Conflict of Religions Duly Shown. Then there comes that conflict be tween his religious duty and his In terests at large. He might compromise and live the dual life which is not un common. After a bitter struggle his better nature triumphs. His friends say sadly that he missed his great chance. You would expect a reward for such fidelity. It comes in a, flood of continued during July. On Sunday morning the Rev. William Ewlng, D. D.. extension secretary of the Congre gational Sunday school work, will preach. Dr. Ewlng has an inspiring message. The pastor. Rev. E. S. Bol linger, is preaching a series of ser mons on "Our Building." Tonight the theme will be "The Stories." and for the last Sunday night In July the theme will be "The Koof Garden." The church has decided to demit the evening serv ices for three Sunday nights after the first Sunday in August- Dr. Ewlng will return the third Sunday in August. Universalist Delegates Are to Visit Here Wednesday. Entertainment Is Planned by Cham ber of Commerce nnd Portland Chore k. A PAR visit PARTY of 80 Unlversalists will They will stop here cn route home from the convention In Los Angeles and will have headquarters at the Hotel Benson. Among those who will probably be in the party arc: W. L. Douglas, of Brockton. Mass., former Governor of Massachusetts, and known as a mil lionaire shoe manufacturer: Charles L. Hutchinson, of Chicago: Rev. M. D. Shutter, I. !., of Minneapolis; Louis Annls Ames, of New York City, and others as well known. Dr. J. D. Corby, pastor of the Church of Good Tidincs. the First Univer salist Church here, at East Twenty fourth street and Broadway. has planned a special meeting In the church on Wednesday with addresses by some of the most prominent men of the de nomination. The Chamber of Commerce will en tertain the visitors with a sight-seeing trip. President A. H. Strong, one of. the most distinguished and widely known Baptists living today, is a visitor in Portland over Sunday. Dr. Strong for more than 40 years was president of Rochester Theological Seminary, of Rochester. N. Y-, where he became fa mous both as teacher In theology and author of numerous standard theolog ical works, which place him In the front rank of theologians of this gen eratlon. Dr. Strong Is president emeritus of Rochester, having resigned some time ago, owing to advanced age and a desire to have more time for aut horship. During his visit ex-graduates of the passion which all but sweeps him into the abyss of moral depravity. In his hour of need ho grasps at something and it Is a cross. Is faith easy for him? Often God hides himself. You say to yourself that God ought to feed that man out of his own hand. God's fashion Is another: day by day Ani year by year he tarrleth: little need The Dord should hasten; whom he loves the most Re seeks not oftenest nor woos him long; And In forgetting best remembers him. Till that man's heart grows humble, and reaches out To ths least glimmers of the feat of God. Grass on the mountain tops, or early note Of wild birds before the dawn Wherever sweetly In the ends of the earth Are fragments of a peace that knowa not man. He comes to kfiow that man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. But he hangs on to duty and faith by the tip of his little finger and forces himself to prayer and pentlnence. There is a hardness about his life. His kinder friends say that he never had- a fair chance, and others that he is narrow ing himself with the Iron chains of un lovely religion. Scientific men. If they knew his struggle, would give him a paragraph ar.ong other varieties of re ligious experience. But I tell you that h Is fighting the battle of the ages between the tiger In hlra and his own true self. If he perseveres he will change those hard chains Into the purs gold of the love of God and man. After a while men In trouble feel drawn to him because of some hidden strength. He becomes an asset to ths community, for men trust him. The sorrows of life leave him closer to his maker and. instead of bitterness of spirit, there Is that refinement of char acter which Is the possession of those alona who persevere In the exprlences of life under the guidance of God him self. As time for him rings to even tide there comes Into his eyes ths quiet lustra of eager hope. At last he Is at peace, the friend of God and man. Of him it Is sufficlnt to say. he humbled himself. Such ever was love's way; to rise. It stoops. By his faith and struggle with him self he has accomplished the greatest undertaking in the power of man; he has bridged eternity. Orrsilos of Crisis Is Cited. Thomas Csrlyle said of a crisis in ths affairs of England In the last century that the beginning and end of their trouble was that the people of England Rochester Seminary will lunch with Dr. Strong at the Portland Hotel. Grad uates of this famous Institution are numerous throughout the world, and always have been amongst the lead ing preachers and missionaries on the Western Coast, and particularly In Oregon.

It would probably be more truthful to say of the condi tions of life that confront us that we have remembered him. but remain halt ing and irritated In our attitude, un decided whether to go with him in that great quest or to remain with our own possessions. Is it not true that rest lessness of life generally follows peri ods of the must pronounced prosperity? Watts has a painting of this rich young Jew In which ths splendor of his cloth ing contrasts most otrongly with the pathos of the bent head and averted face. What he was and what he had palled on him. The period in which ws llva has so often been characterized as an age of unrest and dissatisfaction that It Is hardly worth your while for me to outline the evidence for it. So many Ideas and ways of living which our fathers accepted as the basis for their lives appear to be discredited. I suppose that of all classes of men In America, politicians who In past gen erations occupied so much space on the horizon are most distrusted. The old tocsin rings In vain. Kvery one Is trying to discover an issue that will compel a following. People are lured to political gatherings by attrac tions other than political planks. In matters of education the training and ths philosophy of materlaliim on which that training had Its foundation produce a similar bewilderment. How much w have heard about the progress and triumph of science and i;s effects on the conduct, of men! Were v. e not assured that the time would certainly come when men would . not only be scientifically wealthy and comfortable, but of a golden age when men. know ing the chemical constituents of their bodily frame, would then, and then only, be able to control their bodily ap petites; when men could rroperly un derstand the words vice and virtue because they had scientifically studied ths rise and development of moral con ceptions, then for the first time on the face of the earth crime and sorrows would flee away, to be succeeded by morality and happiness. Dlaaatlsfartloa oel Everywhere. That golden age. in spite of ths tramp of science, has been indefinitely postponed. In Christianity, not to mention other religions, a similar tem per of distrust prevails. Alrr.ust everyone Is dissatlslied with religion. And it is an excellent sign.

Christianity in its most authoritative form nowhere guar antees tha infalibility of the Individ ual's faith or morals and that, to a casual observer, might appear to bo ur current philosophy tf religion. There Is a discontent which easily degenerates Into mere fussiness and faultfinding and ends by destroying all creative ability. There Is. again, that unrest which Christ tried to Mir in the heart of the young in an In this story which ever holds the ideal just beyond the reach and leads to the largest achievements. If the discontent so widely noted at the present time brings to birth only more free lances speak ing with a somewhat different twang, the disturbances of spirit which soma have suffered will have been In vain. If. however, all this atorm and vtrers results In a mors reverent attitude towards life and a mora sober love of truth; If It tells of more patient ef-ioiti- to see deeper issues: it it learns the folly of snap Judgments and short cuts: If. above all. it sweeps on to a greater love of God and man, so easy to praise and so difficult to practU-s. this generation will not nnd. as It now does, sorrow in its great possessions. It Is one of the ren:akatlo phenom ena of life that the better spirits among men you will recall that the accom plishments of the young man In this narrative In character building were by no means Insignificant cannot finU peace and satisfaction e.ther In ths en joyment of material wealth or V . development of character apart frota. God. There is no quest on Whicn men so often go as the pursuit of wealth and that which Its possession Imparts, and none which ends so frequently in iis tlluslonnient. Of culture the same is true, only in less decree. Followed faithfully either or both of these am bitions come short of the expectations placed In them by such men. Long ago St. Augustine found the key to their sorrow and perplexity in these illuminntlng words: "Our hearts vert made for thee. O, God. and they know no rest till they rest in thee." rr1n;e.s Mary of F.ncland. only a chill of 17, has been developed Into a keen, prac tical, ss well aa sympathetic, womun of af :sirs. fhe spends almost all of her tirns every da In dlrcctlrg and taking part la relief work for tne wounded soldiers of Ser country sad Its aiilea.
