Rev. A. L. Hutchinson, of Piedmont Presbyterian Church, Declares That Desire for Social Whirl Causes fllany Boys and Girls to Go Wrong:.
BY A. Ia. HUTCHINSON,
lastor Piedmont Presbyterian Church.
IN harmony with the spirit of "Good
Book week," r. A. L. Hutchinson,
of Piedmont Presbyterian Church,
discussed the boy and girl problem in
his Sunday discourses. Herewith we
give the principal lines of thought of
his Btu-dy, which made a deep, impres
Eion on hi hearers.
Dr. Hutchinson took for his text II
Samuel xviii:29, "Is it well with the
young man?" Also Psalms cxliv:12,
"Our daughters as cornerstones hewn
after the fashion of a palace."
About 20 years ago Benjamin Kidd
In, his book, "Social Evolution." said:
"The problems which loom across the
threshold of tne
new century sur
pass in magnitude
any that civiliza
tion has hitherto
had to encounter."
Dr. Kidd wrote bet
ter than he knew.
The past decade
has abundantly
verified his fore
cast. Look at the
array: The railroad
rate problem grows
In importance. The
industrial proDiem Isistx-
Increases in com- Kev .A.l.-llu tcjiinnou
plexity. The problem of militarism and
world peace clamors for solution. Just
now the high cost of living has the
front of the stage and engages the at
tention of every class.
The liquor problem, an inheritance
from the past century, now bids fair
to reach a solution. Then there are the
ever-present problems of crime In Its
varied types and increasing in serious
ness every decade. The sum total of
modern life is inextricably involved in
problems.
But there is one problem before the
American people which bulks larger

The service at Sunnysids. 'Methodist
Church, corner East Thirty-fifth and
Yamhill, this evening, wiir be of espe
cial interest. P. Waldo Davis, manip
ulator of Deagan's triple-toned golden
chimes', will give one of his famous
concerts. Mr. Davis has played these
chimes at the following great exposi
tions: St. Louis, Portland, Seattle "and
Panama-Pacific. This sacred concert
on these golden chimes will doubtless
attract a. large audience.
'Fools and Their FoUies'
Will Be Discussed.
Rev. Walter I.ee 'Airheart. Assistant
PaMor of Klrnt Mrlhodlut Rpla
coifnl Church, Will Specie Tonight.
Pastor Goes to Taeoma.
TTTHO is a fool? What Is a fool?
VV Why Is a fool? All pertinent
questions and ones which vitally" con
cerned the people Of past generations,
as well as of today." This is the
view of Rev. Walter Lee Airheart,
assistant pastor of First Methodist
Episcopal Church, and tonight In his
sermon at First Church he will ex
plain what he thinks of these people
and why they are classed as foolish.
It has been some time since Rev. Mr.
Airheart has been heard in a sermon
here. Tonight he is to take the place
of Dr. Joshua Stansfield. who will
preach in Tacoma at thatytlme, and,
by way of giving his congregation
something to think about. Rev. Mr. Air.
heart has selected "as his topic "Fools
and Their Follies." In the book of
Proverbs there is something eaid about
wisdom and people who lack It. Fools
are named and the reason for calling
them such is clearly stated. In his
discourse Rev. Mr. Airheart will show
up the people .who are foolish over such
things as appetite, passion, dress, who
have lost social consciousness and who
have lost religion.
This morning Dr. Stansflel-d will
preach, and will leave Immediately
after the sermon for Tacoma, where he
will make his first appearance in the
evening. Bishop Hughes and Dr. Stans
field will assist in the dedication of
the First Methodist Church, Tacoma.
At noon today the Young Men's
Forum will have as their speaker Dr.
C. H. Chapman, who will take as his
subject, "Jesus Christ and Progres
sivism." Accommodations have been
made for 200 people. After the ad
dress there will be an open discussion
of it.
Rev. E. Benson, D. D., wTII preach the
morning sermon at Calvary Presby
terian Church todrfy at 10:30. His theme
will be, "What Constitutes a Religious
Life." In the afternoon at 4:30 he will
conduct a vesper service at the Fourth
Presbyterian Church, of which Rev.
Henry G. Hanson is pastor. His ser
mon then will be "The Nearness and
Presence of the Divine."
In the evening the Woman's Mission
ary Society will have . a rally at the
Calvary Presbyterian Church Instead
of the usual service.
Mizpah Presbyterian Church
to Instal Pastor.
Services) for Rev. I. A. Thompson,
Formerly of Olymplu, Will Be
Held December 1.
THE Rev. D. A. Thompson, who re
cently was called from Olympla,
Wash., to the pastorate of the Mizpah
Presbyterian Church, was received by
the Presbytery of Portland at the De
cember meeting on Tuesday, and ar
rangements' made for his installation
on Tuesday night, December 19. Rev.
Soloman W. Seaman, D. D.. moderator
of the Presbytery, will preside, and
propound the constitutional questions;
Rev. W. S. McCullagh will preach the
sermon; Rev. Arthur L. Hutchinson, D
D., will give the charge to the pastor;
Rev. J. R. Landsborough, of Oregon
City, will charge the people, and the
Rev. John A. Townsend, Ph. D. will
offer the installation prayer.
There will be special music by the
choir. Rev. Mr. Thompson was pastor
of the Spokane Avenue Presbyterian
Church at Sellwood for more than
eight ypars, and his recall to the Port
land wbrk is a matter 'of much satis
faction. The installation service will
be at--8 o'clock.
At the morning service in the First
Congregational Church Dr. Luther R.
fxyott will preach on ''Getting Ready
Tor Christ." Using this as his theme.
Dr. Dyott will show how the world
is being prepared for the advent of
Christ, and how the conditions in our
world today are the forerunners for the
new order to be ushered in through
thaf for which Jesus stands.
This service is preceded by the Bible
than any other I might say than all
others. It involves dollars and cents.
It involves the present welfare and the
future destiny of millions of our citi
zens. It Involves the character, the
power and the longevity of our Nation.
It is the problem of "that boy and that
girl." Whose boy and girl? Why. yours
and every other in the land. That boy,
for instance the traps of the devil
are set on every hand to ensnare him.
There is not a boy in any home in this
city whom the devil would not ruin if
he could get a grip on him.
Professor Ridell, In his lectures a
few years ago, warned us that "the
delinquent classes in the United States
are Increasing three and a half times
as rapidly as the population, and
chiefly in the juvenile classes." W. D.
Morrison one of the highest authori
ties, has said: "We invariably fine ju
venile criminality exhibiting a ten
dency to increase." Judge Swan, of
New Tork, said not long ago: "The ma
jority of criminals coming into this
court are between 17 and 18 years of
age."
Very recently our city police uncov
ered a gang of criminals in our city
the leader of which was a boy 16 years
old. who boasted that he had robbed
15 homes in three months' time. This
condition is further accentuated by the
fact that every state and nearly every
city now has one or more juvenile
courts in operation, and all since 1898.
V. M. C. A. Is One Safeguard.
No institution ever comes Into exist
ence until there is an actual necessity
for It. Note some agencies lor, safe
guarding the boy. First there Is the
Y. M. C. A., with a fine record in this
line of service. It creates a healthful
atmosphere for sport, study and moral
uplift, but listen! Our splendid Y. M.
C. A. has about 600 boys enrolled, while
our city has 24,948 boys of school age,
of which about 16,000 are between the
ages of 9 and 19.
Out of the I, JL C. A, and allied
school, which begins promptly at 9:50.
A. Bowlby, superintendent. The Young
People's Society of Christian Endeavor
holds Its weekly meeting In the church
parlors at 6:30 P. M. Mr. Bowlby. will
lead this meeting. "The Light in the
Morning Sky" will be Dr. Dyott's
theme in the evening. In this sermon
Dr. Dyott will give Christ's interpreta
tion of himself in his relation to that
period in the world when he was most
conspicuous in his earthly ministry.
The First Congregational Church is
planning for a great annual dinner
which will be complimentary to the
membership. This dinner will be given
In connection with the annual meeting
of the church and society and will be
held on Friday evening. January 4.
'Christmas: Its Message of
World Peace," Topic.
Rev. Harold II. Griff Is. Pastor of
First ChrlMttnm Church, Will Give
Sermon This Morning Ex-Knn to
Talk at Klght Service.
s
THIS morning at the First Christian
Church the pastor. Rev. Harold H.
Griffis, will discuss the bearing of,
Christmas on the problem of peace,
taking for his theme the timely topic,
"Christmas and Its Message of World
Peace."
The discussion will show that at a.
time when the attention of the whole
world is directed toward a realization
of a permanent peace, Christmas comes
this year with especial significance. On
Sunday night the sermon will be de
livered by Mrs. P. A. Seguin, an ex-nun
of a New Tork City convent. The
quartet choir will furnish the follow
ing special music In the morning,
soprano and tenor duet, "Calm as the
Night". Goetze), by Mrs. G. F. Alex
ander and John Deegan; in the evening,
an anthem, 'I'm a Pilgrim" (Marsion).
and 'Fairest Lord Jesus" (Batiste).
The main Christmas celebration at
the First Christian Church will be an
entertainment given by the members
of the Bible school on Friday night,
December 22. The celebration will be
known as a "Giving Christmas" and
every person attending will be asked to
bring some gift in the form of food or
clothing for the needy of the city.
Dr. A. L. Crim, who has been called to
the pastorate of the First Christian
Church'., of Eugene, was honored on
Wednesday night at a banquet given by
the women of the East Side Christian
Church. Dr. R. H. Sawyer, the new
pastor of East Side Church Ehared the
honors of the occasion and both min
isters were given tributes of apprecia
tion for their work in the cause of the
church. Dr. S. M. Connor, a veteran
preacher, in an address, praised both
Dr. Crim and Dr. Sawyer. The East
Side Church is but a year old and is
growing rapidly. All who are without
a church home are invited to attend
the services.
,
The Pro-Cathedral chapter of the
Brotherhood of St. Andrew has been
reorganized with J. W. Lethaby as di
rector and Thomas L. Emory'as secre
tary and treasurer. Meetings are on
the second and fourth Monday even
ings. For their present work the men
are pushing the dean's Bible Class and
the Sunday evening service.
The First United Presbyterian
Church will give a reception for their
new pastor, Rev. H, F. Given, on Tues
day in the church parlors at 8 P. M.
The public is invited.
.
Dr. Joseph K. Hart, of Reed College,
will deliver the last of the three lec
tures on "The Modern Social Move
ment in the Church" at 5 o'clock in
the Laurelwood Congregational Church,
agencies has grown a series of "boys'
conferences." two of which recently
closed, one In Corvallis and the other
In Baker City, enrolling 450 boys. But
think of the nearly 106.000 boys In the
state of school age. with 75,000 In the
"teen age."
A second safeguard of course is the
church. And there is none better If you
can get the boys there. In Portland there
are probably 16,000 boys between the
ages of 10 and 20. How many are in
the churches or even In the Sunday
schools? It is. reported in a Chicago
paper that only about 5 per cent of
the young men between the ages of
20 and 30 are members in any Protest
ant church.
Third In the final analysis the prob
lem rests heavily with the home. But
in this day of multiplied "woman's
clubs" and the strenuous demands of
men's clubs, business and the lodges,
the home has practically lost its grip
on the average boy. Our own Dr. Boyd
said last Summer, in a magazine arti
cle: "The home has become' recreant
toward its sacred trust to keep the
fires of faith burning upon the altar
of growing hearts and the public
schools stand mute concerning the soul
life of the child, so that a terrible
weight of responsibility falls upon the
church." And the church has little
show of reaching the average boy. And
yet the average boy is Just as religious
as the average girl of the same age.
But somehow it requires different In
fluence to hold the boy to religious
moorings.
Scout Movement Lauded. '
Fourth Another agency for safe
guarding the boy is the "Scout" move
ment. It appeals to the best that is in
the boy. It satisfies the "gang spirit,"
which is so strong in a boy's life. If
you do not furnish him a gang in the
church, sanctioned by the home, he
will find a- gang on the street some
where. "Good Book week" is a by-product

cember 14 for Chao-Chsien, 360 miles
inland from Shanghai, China. Here a
new hospital is in construction and
she will have the superintendency of
this with the training of native nurses
and some outside works
Miss Wright gave a talk on her call
to this service, her preparation and her
hopes for the success of her undertak
ing. Several of her associates In the
church took part in the opening serv
ice and Miss Bessie Jeffcott. president
of the Young People's Society, gave a
short talk on the "Meaning of the
Loyal Workers' Pledge." followed by
of the Scout movement. It is a prob
lem how to get the boy interested 1
reading and in, reading the right
things.
Can you who have boys do this suc
cessfully? Happy the parent who can
do this! and don't you find that it is
necessary to read with the boy and to
discuss the story and ask and answer
questions about it? In this way you
awaken a thirst for more like lt
Hence the vast importance of avoiding
trash in boys' reading. The market
is full of it. ' But you go to our de
partment librarians or to a place like
Gill's, in our city, and you will find
safe advisers as to the boy's reading.
They are trying to eliminate trash.
Th Joy must have adventure, travel,
biography, fiction and a spice of hu-.
mor. all of which will awaken a desire
to read history. If possible find out
the boy's natural taste and then open
to him the treasures of the libraries
along the line of his delight. Tou may
patronise our splendid public libraries,
but buy books tor him which shall be
come his personal friends and he will
delight to see his own library grow.
Now listen: ?w boys ever go far
wrong whose fathers chum with them,
entering into their sports, their boy
problems and troubles, and knowing
their comrades- If more fathers could
and would find more time to "live
with" their boys, the problem would
be simplified and the outlook for the
race become more optimistic Teach
a boy that loyalty and obedience guar
antee freedom in the home and in the
Nation.
Desires) Kot to Be Condemned.
Some things that you cannot safely
do with a boy: Tou' cannot safely con
demn a boy's desires in toto; but you
can stimulate to the best. Tou can't
safelw repress his natural exuberance,
but you may find wholesome outlets
for It. Tou can't safely prohibit a
boy's associates; but you may make it
easy tor him to chooss wisely. Xou

Rev. IT. D. Chambers recently com
pleted his thirteenth year as archdea
con of the Episcopal diocese. This In
formation was pleasantly imparted at
a luncheon given by Archdeacon and
can't force religion upon him: but you
can make it so attractive to him that
he will want it. And so shall It be well
with the boys of today who are to
bear the responsibilities of the world's1
tomorrow.
And what about -that girl"? "Our
daughters as cornerstones hewn after
the fashion of a palace." It was a cus
tom of Grecian builders to use
pilasters at the angles of their palaces
hewn out of marble in the form of
women clad in flowing robes. These
were polished and had the appearance
of binding together the parts of the
structure. This suggests the-very im
portant place our daughters occupy in
the social structure of the world. When
a nation suffers a diminution on the
standard of her womanhood that nation
has entered on Its decline.
Decline of Rome Cited.
The sinking sun of Grecian glory and
decline of mighty Rome were attend
ed by the eclipse of distinctive mother
hood. The northern barbarians who
battered down the walls of the Queen
of the Tiber, came from homes where
mother was highly revered, and wom
anhood was known for its sweetness
and purity, graced with simplicity.
Anything that affects the distinctive
ness of the American home is a men
ace to the Nation.
In his book. "The Church and Modern
Society," Archbishop Ireland says:
"The bands of society are relaxed and
perils hitherto unknown are menacing
the social organism." He referred to
the alarming growth of the divorce
evil. The divorce rate Is higher in the
United States than In any other coun
try. Japan has held the record; but
Japan has reduced her divorce record
60 per cent by recent legislation.
There is one divorce in every 12
marriages in our land: and one in five
in this western section of the country,
notwithstanding our boasted culture
and religion. But what has this to do
with tho problem of "that girl"?
Very much, indeed. If the girls who
figure in these many divorcee had held

Passion for Display Biassed.
The modern passion for display and
"a dandy good time" has blighted the
lives of manjr of our girls. All praise
to many of the women's clubs of our
day. But the purely pink and powder
social clubs of the day are a menace
to the home and to the girls of the
day; their heads are filled with
visions of brilliant gowns and social
conquests, while they ought to be in
terested In dolls and girlish story
books. The girl of 16 goes to the
theater with an escort who wants to
"do the thing up brown": there are
flowers and a taxi and an after-theater
dinner, all of which dissipates a five
dollar piece badly.
She dreams of such a life always;
while she ought to know that not one
young man in a thousand can keep that
up. Not Infrequently a girl hears re
marks like these: "What a shame that
Mrs. X has such a family of kids that
tie her down to her home," or "Mrs.
Z feels so badly that she has a little
one which compels her to forego the
pleasures of her old social set." And
the girl gets the idea that It is a mis
fortune to be a homekeeper and a
grievous calamity to 'become that
holiest of personages, a mother.
Mrs. Hemans has sweetly said:
There Is none.
In all this cold and hollow world no unt
Of deep, strong, deathless love, saviVihat
within
A mother's breast. '
. But a large section of modem society
commiserates a mother. Much that has
been said as to safeguarding the boy
will apply to the girl with equal force.
And here are added suggestions. Let
the mother make a companion of her
daughter, respecting her intellect by
discussing large Interests with her.
Honor her womanhood by discussing
with her the mysteries and the sanc
tities of her being.

Appeal tp the ambl'.ion to be and to
do. which moves in every girl.
Magnify the dignity and the Joy of
being the "queen of a home." rather
than a "queen of society." Show her
that the glory of the former Is of
wrought gold, while the glamor of the
latter is merest tinsel and that service
in the former paves the way to man
sions of glory, while the pleasures. of
the latter are limited at best to a
palace of earth, which will not be fire
proof in the coming great world con
flagration. Teach her that the woman who Is
best loved and who retains her charms
the longest, is the one who is more
conversant with the culinary art than
with the histrionic art; who is more
skilled in the mysteries of soup and
pie and cake than in the mysteries of
the mazes of the latest dance.
Impress your daughter with the fact
that woman's status is a safe index of
any civilisation and that she can large
ly determine that staus herself.
The mentality of woman may mold
the thought of a nation; but her spir
ituality must always be the beacon of
the world's highest aspirations.
Teach her that everybody admires a
well-dressed girl: but most men se
cretly scoff at the extreme faddish
dresser.
Everybody respects a self-reliant
girl; but most people shun a brazen
girl.
Everybody likes a Jolly girl with a
hearty laugh: but people get awfully
tired of a girl whose giggle is too
nesr the surface.
Everybody enjoys a wholesome ath
letic girl: but few men woud ever
marry a girl who apes him In dress,
manner and conduct.
But the whole world, loves a genuine
wholesouled "mother girl."
She's the very fairest gem
In the beauty ijlndcm,
Search creation and you cannot find another
On the face of this old earth
That possesses half the worth
Of the ri.l who litis. the burdens from bar
sui.ner.
