THE SUNDAY" OREGOXIAX. PORTLAXD, AUGUST
1916.
CHURCHMEN PREPARE TO WAGE "OREGON DRY" CAMPAIGN
to
-a 'ys-ORE than all others church folk
are Interested in civic move--a.-L
merits that tend to move in the
direction of religion. In acknowledg
ment of this. Portland preachers and
church people are not only watching
with keen interest hut actually enter
ing the field as workers in behalf of
the "Oregon Dry" movement. This and
many other affairs of interest promise
to make the usually dull tail end of the
Summer go by with rapidity and
gratifying results.
Ir. Maurice Penfield Fikes, of De
troit: Dr. Adolph A. Berle. of Cam
bridge, Mass., and Dr. Walter H.
Nugent, - of Newburyport, Mass., are
visiting pastors of note.
Billy' Sunday to Speak.
The "Keep Oregon Dry" campaign
Is assured of a volcanic opening when
i Itev. "Billy" Sunday' makes the first
address Tuesday night, August 8,
speaking at the Portland Ice Hippo
drome, Twenty-first and " Marshall
streets. The Hippodrome is built much
like a "Billy" Sunday tabernacle. The
seats at the east end behind the plat
form slope steeply upward "like the
choir seats in his regulation tabernacle.
The ground floor has been seated in
much the . same way and even the
"sawdust trail" is . being supplied.
Portlanders who have never heard
"Billy," save in some Portland church
or hall, will have an opportunity to
eee him in action for the first time.
Wheeling Sermon Thrills.
la Wheeling, W. Va., Mr. Sunday's ser
mon was announced for 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The tabernacle would hold
but 10.000 people and it was full at
the morning service. When the morn
ing service closed at 12 o'clock only
the women filed out, the men keeping
their seats and crowding to the front
for vantage points for the 2 o'clock
sermon. While the women were pass
ing out the front door a throng of men
was crowding in the back doors. Many
of these men had been standing in line
for an hour waiting: for this chance
to get In and wait for two hours more
In order to get a seat and that in
spite of the fact that a blizzard was
howling outside.
When so many had crowded into the
tabernacle that the police stopped the
remainder, there were still 9000 men
outside in the storm who refused to
leave the grounds, but clustered around
the building, hoping to catch some
word through the board walls. Seeing
this, Mr. Sunday said:
"It's better for me to suffer than' for
10. 000 people to wait for two hours."
And he immediately pteached his
sermon, while two of the local min
isters went ftutside and preached to the
men in the blinding blizzard.
Rev. A. C. Moses, pastor of Waverly
Heights Congregational Church, has
begun his work as Multnomah County
chairman of the "Keep Oregon Dry"
' campaign.
Unusual Sermon Series for
Sunday Evenings.
Rev. IV. G. Alrheart, Assistant at
First Methodist. Will Discuss
Topics Dealing With Crises In Life
of Jesus.
THE First Methodist Episcopal
Church is to have a very efficient
and interesting pastor In its pulpit dur
ing the absence of Dr. Loveland, for
the Rev. Walter Lee Airheart, assistant
pastor of the churcn, -will speak at
every evening service at 8 o'clock on
topics tempting enough to hold even
the lagging Summer congregations to
their pews.
"In Joumeyings Toward His Life
Froblem" will be Rev. Mr. Airheart's
theme tonight at 8 o'clock. He will
touch on the conditions of Christ's na
tion's history and upon his ideas, his
baptism, victory over temptation and
his mission with worldly ways.
The other August topics that Dr. Air.
heart will discuss under "Crises in the
Life of Christ" are as follows:
August 13, 8 o'clock. "In Conflict
"With Organized Religion," pictures of
the opposition of the Scribes and Phari
sees which led to his condemnation of
pretense without practice, ceremonial
cleanness without inward purity and
the development of priestly persecu
tion: August 20. 8 o'clock. "In the Uni
versity of the Wayside." why the com
mon people heard hini gladly, his com
passion for the unfortunate ' and op
pressed, the followers for the loaves
and fishes and the falling away of the
people in the presence of his high ideals:
in the university of the wayside, the
compassionate healer and the disciples
of slow understanding: August 27, 8
o'clock, "In Travail of Soul." the gath
ering of the storm and the deepening
shadow of the cross with the certainty
that he will be left to tread the wine
press alone; the beauty and holy pa
thos of the last supper, alone in the
garden, the trial with the scourging
and mockery, the denial by Peter, the
tardy remorse of Judas, the compas
sion shown from the cross, the glory
of the resurrection and the consequent
transformation of the disciples.
Each number of the series of ser
mons delivered on the Sunday evenings
GOOD SAMARITAN REPRESENTS HUMANITY'S
BT. REV. OLIVER S. BAUM. D. D..
Pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church.
Text: Master, what shall I do to Inherit
eternal life? luke x:25.
THE certain lawyer who stood up to
ask a test question of our Lord
has laid all under tribute. In so
doing; he called forth one of the most
striking- of our Lord's parables. The
question, while not asked with right
motive, is taken in
Kood faith by our
lord and made the
occasion for an an
swer which sets
forth lessons of
greatest signifi
cance for all time.
The tirst thing tor
every roan to settle
Is his relationship
with God.
Man cannot in any
true sense sustain
the neighborly re
lationship with men
"SMS? .,".
until he is
rightHev. Oliver S. Baum.
with God. Brother
hood is impossible until fatherhood
is & reality. Men talk brotherhood
and organize societies and lodges
around that word "fraternity" who
never mention the name of God. save
with irreverence or profanity. To this
is due a foreigner's criticism, "The peo
ple in America talk brotherhood more
and practice it less than any country
in the world." The question of eternal
life has the beginning of its settlement
in man's relation to God. "This is life
eternal, to know thee the only true
God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast
sent."
The parable is a classification of hu
manity. The names given Christ's
parables are often inadequate. They do
not fully set forth the fullness and the
richness of the parable. This parable
has been mentioned as a classification
of humanity, the good Samaritan rep
resenting one class, while the others
have their place and play their part
on the road traveled by humanitF. If
Christ were here and speaking now, he
would not speak of the rich class, the
poor class, the laboring class, the edu
cated class, but would speak of the
wounded, the robbers, the priests and
Levites and the good Samaritans. We
this month will be illustrated by a
large number of very splendid views.

The Feast of the Assumption, one
of the principal holy days observed by
persons of the Catholic faith,' will be
observed in all Portland Catholic
churches August 15.
The Feast of the Assumption is given
in honor of the Blessed Virgin and
commemorates the fact that her body
was not allowed to decay, but was
glorified and taken to Heaven as was
Christ's, body and soul together.
The regular Sunday services are giv
en on that day.
who are here this morning belong to
one of these classes.
The wounded man we mention first.
Some think Christ never meant to give
any particular emphasis to this char
acter, but intended him as a touchstone
to the character of the others, and so
divides men into classes according to
their attitude "toward the weak and the
wounded. We shall find,' however,
some interesting questions In connec
tion with this wounded man. It is al
most certain that he was a Jew. Was
he religious? Would his religion be of
any advantage to him on meeting a
band of jobbers? Could he say as he
started out that morning: "I being in
the way the Lord led me?" Or could he
sing with tire Psalmist: "The angel of
the Lord encampeth round about them
that fear him and delivereth them"?
There are instances where this scrip
ture has held good: When savages came
to the home of John G. Paton, intent
on taking his life, they were, as they
afterwards confessed, strangely and
unexpectedly prevented from approach
ing sufficiently near to the cabin to
execute, their murderous plan by a
strange light that seemed to surround
the house in which this saint of God.
all unconscious of danger without, sat
at his work.
There is another interesting ques
tion: The way from Jerusalem down to
Jericho was infested by brigands and
robbers and was a notoriously danger
ous way. Saint Jerome says that mur
ders had been so frequent upon that
way as to name it the Bloody Way.
This man most certainly started alone
a very rash thing to do. It was pre
sumption on his part. It was to invite
temptation. Prudent people always
went in sufficient numbers to ward off
any attack, and this man ought never
to have gone, alone.
Warnings Not Reeded.
There are peoplejwho laugh at warn
ings; they will not take .any advice;
they say they can take care of them
selves. Perhaps the Prodigal Son
thought the same thing when he start
ed into the far country. The rashness
of youth in this direction is proverbial.
In cities the young venture into peril
ous ways in the spirit of bravado. They
want to show how daring they can be
and so fall into the hands of robbers.
Perhaps this Jew and the modern

Rose City Park Methodist Church
Worker Given Present by Sunday
School on Lenvlnsr for Seattle.
A DELIGHTFUL church affair waa
the picnic of the Sunday school
workers and officers of the Sunday
school of the Rose City Park Methodist
Episcopal Church, given recently at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. George Bowman,
in Killingsworth. About CO of the
workers and their families attended
and parsed a pleasant evening that in
cluded an outdoor picnic supper, a pro
gramme and a brief business session.
The affair assumed the nature of a
farewell for Mrs. M. W. Lewcomb and
her daughter, Evelyn, who left Thurs
day for Seattle. Miss Lewcomb has
been one of the most active porkers
in the Sunday school, both as ateacher
of the builders' class (t'oung girls) and
as a pianist. In an impressive . little
ceremony Dr. William Wallace. Young
son, pastor of the church, presented
her with a Standard Bible in behalf
of the Sunday school board, who great
ly regret her departure.
During the business session Miss Be
atrice Tebbin resigned as Sunday school
treasurer and E. R. White was elected
to fill the vacancy. Mrs. J. Earle Else
is superintendent of the Sunday school.
The next meeting will be held Tues
day, September 4. at the church. After
that the company will meet every two
weeks during the Fall and Winter.

Today tho pulpit of the First Con
gregational Church will be occupied
by Rev. A. J Sullens.' home missionary

Dr. Luther R. Dyott, pastor, is taking

Father Edwin V. O'Hara, assistant
pastor of the Cathedral of the Immac
ulate Conception, left Friday for a
trip throughout the East.
Father O'Hara will fill lecture en
gagements In a number of Eastern
cities, among them being New York,
where he will address the convention
of the National Federation of Catho
lic Societies on August 21. He also
will visit Chicago, St. Paul and Wash
ington. D. C.
While in the East Father O'Hara
will study the Work being done in
manual training in parochial schools.
It is the intention of" the Portland
Catholics to inaugurate manual train
ing in the Cathedral school when that
institution opens in September. Five
rooms of the school will be devoted to
manual training. Father O'Hara will
return, to this city before September 1.

wounded ought to have ottered the
scriptural prayer, "Keep back thy serv
ant also from presumptuous 4sins." In
addition to the rash there are the weak.
They seem to lack will power and force
of character. The New Testament
speaks of them as "little ones." the
weaker brother. Bunyan speaks of
them as "Pliables," "Little Faiths."
"Ready to Halts" on the . road. Then
in addition to these there are those
whose circumstances make them more
liable; for example, those who have
been reared In places where honor and
purity have never received any empha
sis. Then there are women whose mea
ger salaries make it almost Impossible
to keep soul and body together. So the
highway of life is filled with the rash,
the weak and the unfortunate, who are
easy victims, and they fall Into the
hands of thieves.
The thieves or robbers stripped him
of his raiment and wounded him and
departed, leaving him for -dead. That
is. these thieves took advantage of the
man's weakness, his lonelinees, his
helplessness, and it seems there has al
ways been a goodly number who are
ready to take advantage of weakness.
The Bible speaks of these characters:
"They sleep not.' except they have done
mischief and their sleep is taken away
unless tney cause some to fall, for they
eat the bread of wickedness and drink
the wine of violence."
Bunyan has pictured the life here as
a road leading from the City of De
struction to the Celestial City. On this
road are those who seek to lure the
pilgrims from their way. Ton remem
ber how Christian was tempted by Mr.
Worldy-Wiae Man and by Demas at the
silver mine. So we all have met the
robbers in some way, and we need to
remember that often the worst robber
are those 'the law cannot get at.
Who steals my purse steals trash;
But ho who filches from me my icood nam
Robs me of that which not enriches him.
And makes me poor indeed.
The evil companion who lures the
boy or the girl from the right way. is
a robber. The man who by foul or
false speech hurts the good name of
another, is a thief. The man who takes
advantage of an innocent or weak girl
and steals away her flower of virtue
may move in respectable society, but
still hj is a lecherous, loathsome rob
ber. The business man who takes ad

The Fourth. Presbyterian Church al
ready is making definite plans for its
13th anniversary, .whichwill be cele
brated in the latter part "of September.
The plan is to have a big homecoming
evening on Tuesday, September 26,
when all former members will be the
guests of the church. On Thursdif
evening the annual congregational
meeting will be held, and on the Sun
day following, October 1. a communion
service will close the festivities.
At the Fourth Presbyterian Church
there will be no evening service during
the month of August. The other serv
ices will go on as usual. For morning
vantage of weakness and helplessness
and financial distress to increase his
own fortune, may boast all he likes of
business sagacity, but in the sigat of
Gcd he is a thief. The sweater who
takes the hard toil of women and
children for wage too scanty to keep
soul and body together, is a dirty rob
ber. The man who by smutty and im
pure words pollutes the. mind of an
other, is also a thief.
The Priest ana Uvlle.
"And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way; and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other
side, and likewise aLevlte, when he
was at the place, came and looked -on
him and passed by on the other side."
The priest and Levite are the persons
who most of all would be. expected to
kelp a man in trouble, and their fail
ure to do so furnishes in some respects
the most gainful picture of the par
able. These represent the religious
people in our day the Christians,
those who, because of their profes
sion, are expected to befriend the un
fortunate, and whose failure to show
interest in such cases has raised the
question in certain quarters as to
whether the worldly people are not
more ready to show kindness to per
sons in distress than those in the
church. The priest and Levite would
never be guilty of what the robbers
did, but they just looked upon an ob
ject most deserving of pity and help
and passed on. I think perhaps here is
where we are meeting with our great
est discouragements today. "The
church-, is suffering more from the
stolid indifference and crass self ish
ness of its members than from the ma
lign opposition of its enemies." Christ
said some of his severest ththgs to
those who were negatively good. They
were not committing any great sins or
wickedness, they were Just failing to
do what they ought to do. "Inasmuch
as ye did it not," are his solemn wocds.

BAPTIST.
First, White Temple, Twelfth and Tay-
the story of one who had sinned and
threw herself Into the river, because
there was no one to reach out a help
ins: hand:
Alas for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Vnder ths syn!
Oh! It wss pitiful!
esr a whole city full.
Horns shs bad nona.
Ths bleak winds of ifsrch
Made' her tremble and shivsr;
But not the dark sreh.
Or the black flowing- river;
Mad from life's history,
Olad to. death's mystery
Swift to be hurl d
Anywhere, anywhere
Out of the world!
That Is not an exaggerated picture.
The callousness of the world has driv
en many to despair. The poem of Tom
Hood was re-encted in our own city
a few months ago by one of these poor
unfortunates.
The Goed Samaritan IMetnrea.
How many interesting thlngsv are
suggested here: First, the Jew who was
helped by this Samaritan had in hh
heart a venom for all Samaritans.
"Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan and hast a. devH V The help
therefore comes from an unexpected
source. How frequently this occurs! J
have read of a white man who had
driven a hungry Indian from his cabin
door, with harsh words, and - who
months after, lost in a distant part of
the forest, stumbled, weak and spent,
upon this very Indian's tent- There he
was taken in and cared for, and when
able to walk was conducted by easy
stages back to within sight of his
home.
It is not hard to decide which cf
the two was nearest the' kingdom of
heaven. " The hatred of the Jew for
the Samaritan was Intense. MacLaren
tays, "If Christ had been speaking In
America he would have called the ne--ro
the Samaritan; if in France, the
German the Samaritan; if in England,
the foreigner the Samaritan," and we
can. only wonder how the Jew received
the ministry of thlfc good Samaritan.
He is certainly the kind of man whose
picture we should constantly have be
fore us tn conection with the weak and
the wounded upon the way.
Alexander Whyte speaks of a pic
ture that hangs in his imagination gal

"Hard Sayings in. the Bible" is the
unkiue topic on which Rev. Oliver S.

terian Church, will speak at an Inter
esting evening service in his charch.

GREATEST CLASS
lery beside this of the good Samari- 1
tan. Samuel Johnson. the lexicog
rap'.er. tuat great man and learned
scholar, came one night upon a poor
woman, an outcast of the streets, ap
parently in a dying condition. He took
her upon his back and carried her to
Bob Court and laid her there upon
good Mrs. Williams' bed. and had his
landlady do her utmost to nurse her
ba:k to life. What a picture!
Rev. George L. Cady tells of one of
these good Samaritans. "Mrs. Cady and
I were going to Cedar Rapids, and I
aid to her as we got on the train. "I
am going to introduce you to the most
marvelous railroad man you ever saw.'
When we reached Manchester a couple
of girls got on the train. They were
from the country, and they stood talk
ing with a woman whose face neither
my wife nor I liked, but she soon went
her way. While I was waiting for Mr.
Hart to come and take my ticket. I
looked back and saw him talking with
those two girls. They were both cry
ing as if their hearts would break.
When he came. I said. "What is the
trouble with those girls? He said,
'They are going to Cedar Rapids to
work in a factory. I found that woman
hau directed them to one of the worst
boarding-houses In the city, a posi
tively disreputable place, and I knew
if they ever got inside that house they
would be lost.'
" "What are you going to do about
It? "Well, fortunately, I have my wife
with me todays We have been talking
with them, ana we are going to take
them home with us tonight; then to
morrow wo will find a good boarding
place for them.' I said, 'Is not that a
strange thing for you to do? Your
business is to punch tickets for the
railroad company, not to look after
girls going to Cedar Rapids.' (Now
these are the words for which I have
told the story). I am working for
Jesus Christ, and I em punching tick
ets for the Illinois Central to pay my
way, and I feel as responsible to Jesus
Christ for every soul that gets on my
train as I dr for every passenger to
the Illinois Central.'" "Some months
later." says Cady, "I came came back
on the train, and I said to Mr. Hart.
What became of tbe girls? 'Oh. said
he, 'they were baptized last night into
cur church and are living the Chris
tian life.'"
that came the idea of the "Soul Win
ner's League." whiter he founded and
became Its leader. With his varied
experience, a ministry conspicuous for
its spiritual gifts in evangelistic work,
he began the work with zest.

Another beautiful picture of the good
Samaritan. May their number increase.
Good Samaritan Is Umtkeart.1'
Bunyan calls him Mr. Greatheart, the
one who gives his life to fighting the
r-A.tles and bearing the burdens, and
taking upon himself the weaknesses
f those who are traveling from the
City of Destruction to the Celestial
City. The life of Mr. Greatheart is the
life worth while, and the best life any
of us shall be permitted to live in this
world as long as conditions are what
they are. This then Is the teaching of
the great parable, and may it send va
all upon the high and holy ministry of
helping. t.ie weak, the wounded and the
sore upon life's way.
There aro hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self -content ;
There are souls like stars that dwell alona
la a fellowleu firmament.
There are pioneer souls that b'.axe their
paths
Where the highway never ran.
But let me live in my house by the slda of
the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live In my house by the aids of
ths rosd
Where the race of men iroes by.
The men that ore good, the men that are
bad.
As good and as bad as I.
For why should I sit In the scoffer's chair
Or- hurl the onic's ban?
Let me live la my house by the side of
the road
And he a friend to mr,
