SHIP
PLANT BUILD! fj G
Portland Grain Shipper Takes
Over McEachern Yard on
Youngs Bay, Astoria.
5 VESSELS ARE BUILDING
Tender of Full Facilities ot Plant
Has Been Made to Government,
but Xo Contracts Have Been
Yet Entered Into.
Confirmation of Max H. Houser's pur
chase of the stock of the McEachern
Ship Company, -which means the full
control of the plant, located on Tonng'i
Bay, Astoria, was made by him per-1
eonally on his return last night from
an extended Eastern tour, that included
Important shipbuilding and grain con
trol conferences at Washington.
vThere had been executed June 5 an
agreement to purchase the shipyard
A. O. Anderson & Co., owners of the
property, subject to a complete, inven
tory, but that is no longer regarded
as having any material bearing on the
transaction. The inventory is progress
ing and was to have been finished
June 20, but an extension to June 25
has been made and by that time Mr.
Houser is to take charge.
"Tender of the full facilities of the
plant has been made to the Government
and It will remain In effect until
General Goethals decides on his plans
In detail," said Mr. Houser. "I did not
close any contracts for Government
chips, but it seems certain all building
facilities will be called on to do their
part in the war."
Vessels Now on Ways.
Originally there were eight auxiliary
schooners rovided for at the McEach
ern property. A. O. Anderson & Co.
had contracted for most of them when
the yard was conducted by the Mc
Eachern interests and late last year
took over the yard. In the sale to Mr.
Houser it Is provided that he complete
the fourth, fifth and sixth vessels for
A. O. Andersen & Co., while he becomes
the owner of the seventh and eighth
carriers.
The fourth vessel, known as the Ma
grudada, was sold to Brazilians and is
being completed, while the fifth, the
May, was disposed of last week to the
Robert Dollar Company for $300,000
and Is to be delivered In August. The
sixth will be in the water before long,
which will close the Andersen con
tracts, and by then it Is fully expected
a start will have been made on ships
for the United States.
It was admitted by Mr. Houser that
consideration was being given plans
to increase facilities If necessary to as
sist the Government, but he added that
no proposals were being accorded at
tention at this time looking to future
commercial work, he feelinar that onlv
the war emergency vessels were im
portant now.
Mr. Hoaser a Central Figure.
The entrance of Mr. Houser into the
shipbuilding sphere, following other
valuable Investments made in Portland
realty, besides his extensive grain busi
ness, makes him one of the central fig'
ures in the commercial growth of the
state. He has been a staunch advo
cate of Oregon-built vessels and Oregon-controlled
tonnage as a means of
advancing the interests of the Colum
bia River district andi providing con
nections which the communities have
depended upon others for In the past.
His friends regard his Investment at
Astoria as a step in that direction, but
he insists that any such development
must wait on the termination of the
Government's shipbuilding campaign.
With the frontage now controlled on
Toung's Bay, It is estimated at least
two more building berths can be built,
yet that is not the limit of what can
be provided in the immediate neighbor
hood. Shops and all departments there
are said to compare with those of any
plant in the country and to be sua,
perior to some, and it Is certain its
permanency is assured so long as there
is a call from Federal or private in
terests for Oregon ships. In taking
over the corporation Mr. Houser pre
serves the organization, so construction
Is to go ahead without pause.
"Gralai Hoarders Will Suffer."
"Washington is a decidedly busy city
now, there being a rush and go on
every side, but war preparations are
rapidly being adjusted to their indi
vidual channels, and it impresses one
with its seriousness," said Mr. Houser
in speaking of his trip. "As to the
grain programme, there Is legislation
yet to be enacted so that absolute regu
lation is possible. I do not mean by
tnat mere win oe drastic lines drawn,
but It is certain speculation will be un
der the ban and persons who hnani
grain with a view to reaping benefits
win certainly surfer.
"To move the crop as the Govern
ment's requirements dictate, ulsn urn
viding for home necessities, will be the
aim and noirreat difficulties are looked
lor once me system Is established.
weens ago mr. Houaer was
named Dy secretary Houston, of the De
panment ot Agriculture, as a member
or a commission to delve into the grain
situation. Before, and since the United
btates declared a state of war existed
with Germany, he has exported vast
quantities ot wneat to Europe.

We believe. that tkroaxk the atene

refinances ef the gospel.
We beltove that the first prlnclnlea
ana ordinances of the aroapel arei (It
Faith In the I -or Jnii Chrlatl I3 r
scslaswl 131 bnntlam ty laaBaeralon far
the remlaalon af alnai 4I laylaa an f
hands tar the sift of the Holy bloat
(Articles of Faith 3 and 4).
Faith In God Is the first, the funda
mental, the basal principle of the gos
pel, as. Indeed, faith. In the more gen
eral usage of the term, la the impelling
cause to activity even In ordinary af
fairs. Faith and belief are not Infre
quently confused, and the words are
too commonly regarded as synonymous.
An approach to Identity of meaning
appears In early English, in conse
quence of which fact belief is some
times given the more definite signifi
cation of faith In our versions of the
holy scriptures. Belief may be nothing
more than a mental assent to any prop
osition, principle or alleged fact; where
as faith implies such confidence and
conviction as shall Inspire to action.
Belief Is by comparison passive, a mere
agreement or tacit acceptance only;
faith is active and positive and Is ac
companied by works. Faith is vivified,
vitalised, living belief.
Even the devils believe that Jeans la
the Christ, and so fully that they trem
ble at the prospect of the fate fore
shadowed by that belief (See James
11:19). Their belief may amount even to
certain knowledge, but they remain
devils nevertheless Consider the man
possessed by a demon In the country of
the Gadarenes. When he beheld Jesus
afsr off be ran to the Master and wor
shiped him, while the evil spirit by
whom the man was controlled acknowl
edged the Lord, calling him "Jesus, Son
of the Most High God" (Mark v; for
analogous instances see Mark 1:23-27
and 111:8-11).
Strikingly similar in form, yet vitally
different in spirit and effect, was this
testimony of the demons as compared
with Peter's confession of his Lord, to
the Savior's question, "Whom say "
that I am?" Peter replied In practically
the same words voiced by the unclean
spirits: "Thus art the Christ, the
of the llvlnar Csa" (Matt. xvl:15-l).
Peter's faith had already been tested
and had demonstrated Its vital power.
Through faith the apostle had forsaken
much that had been dear and had fol
lowed his Lord in persecution and suf
fering. His knowledge of God as the
Eternal Father and of Jesus Christ as
the Redeemer may have been no greater
than that of the demons, but while to
them that knowledge was an added
cause of condemnation, to him It was
the power of righteous service and of
eventual salvation.
In a theological sense faith Includes
a moving, vital. Inspiring confidence
In God. and the acceptance of his will
as our law and of his words as our
guide in Ufa Faith In God Is a princi
ple of power, for by Its exercise spirit
ual forces are made operative. By this
power phenomena that appear to be
supernatural, such as we call miracles,
are wrought. Even the Lord Jesus was
Influenced and in a measure controlled
by the lack of faith or the possession
thereof by those who sought blessings
at his hands. We are told that at a
certain time and place Jesus "could
there do no nighty work" because of
the people's unbelief, which was so
dense that he marveled at it (Mark
vl:B-6). Repeatedly did the Lord re
buke and admonish with such reproofs
as "O ye of little faith," "Where Is your
faith" and "how Is it that ye have no
falthT" In glorious contrast rang out
his words of benediction to those whose
faith had made It possible for him to
heal and to save: "Thy faith hath made
thee whole" and "According to your
faith be It unto you."
Read the record of the youthful de
moniac whose agonised father brought
his son to the Master, pleading pitiably,
"If thoa canst do anything, have com
passion on us and help us." To this
qualified Intercession Jesus replied: "I t
then canst believe." and added. "All
tllsss arc possible s him that hellev
eta" (Read Mark ix:14-29). The faith
requisite to the healing was not that
of the Healer alone, but primarily faith
on the part of the suppliant.
If through faith divine interposition
may be secured to the accomplishment
of what we call material or physical
miracles, and of this the scriptures con
tain copious testimony (read Hebrews,
chapter 11). la it consistent to doubt
that faith la the appointed agency for
Invoking and securing spiritual bless
ings, even to the attainment of salva
tion In the eternal worlds?
As shown In earlier articles, redemp'
tlon from the power of death is assured
to all through the victory achieved by
Jesus Christ; but salvation is an indi
vidual gift, provided for all who shall
establish claim thereto through onedl
ence to the lawn nnd ordinances of the
gospel. Faith In God the Eternal Father
and In his Son. Jesus Christ, as the Re
deemer and Savior of the race, and in
the Holy Uhoat la esaentlal to the se
curing of individual salvation. Paul
forcefully declares: "Bnt wlthvat faith
It Is Impossible ts please hlaai for ha
that eotneth to God must believe that
he la and that he la n rewarder of then
that dUlaently seek alas" (Heb. xl:6).
The acrlpturea abound In assurances
of salvation to those who exercise faith
In God. The Savior's teachings art con
clusive: "HK THAT 11EL1EVKTH AXO
18 BAPTIZED SHALL. KB SAVED: BUT
HE THAT FEL1EVETH NOT SHALL
BE DAMNED" (Mark xvl:l). And
aaaln: "HE THAT BELIEVETH ON
THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE:
AND HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT THE
SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE: BUT THE
WRATH OF GOD AB1DETH ON HIM"
(John lil:3S).
But who will venture to affirm that
passive belief as distinguished from
active faith is here implied? Can a man
be said to believe In Jesus Christ In
any effective and genuine sense unless
that man shall strive to do the things
that Christ commands? To any such
Inconsistent assumption the Apostle
John replies: "And hereby w da know
anndments. He that salth. I know him.
nnd keepeth not his commandments In
a liar, and the truth la not In hlan. Bnt
fraoao kecpeth his word, la hlsa verily
la the love of (rod perfected hereby
know we that ws an In him" (I John
11:3-6).
In a revelation through Joseph Smith
In 1829 the Lord Jesus Christ gave this
Instruction and blessed promise: 'Ask
the Father In my name. In faith believ
ing thnt yoa shall receive, and yon
shall have the Holy Ghost, which man
ifest ft h all things which nre expedient
anto the children of men" (Doctrine
and Covenants xvlll:18).
