Marvin, assistant editor of the Pacific
Christian Advocate, teaching social
service and citizenship; Rev. T. W.
Lane, pastor of Centenary Church, this
city, conducting classes In Bible study.
Mrs. Lane was appointed dean of
women.
The association of the young people
for a week with such leaders and the
sitting under the Instruction of such
teachers cannot fail to be of great
service to the large company of bright,
intelligent, energetic, enthusiastic, am
bitious young people of Western Wash
ington. The Institute for 1917 opened Monday
evening. July 16, with a large and en
thusiastic company.
The keynote address was to have
been delivered by Dr. Wilbur F. Sher
idan, general secretary, but he was de
tained by slight illness, and the man
agement used methods of conscription
and Dr. T. W. Lane was assigned to
this duty.
Dr. Lane took for the keynote of this
institute the thought that has been for
some time uppermost in the minds of
the people, viz., "Preparedness."
After brief introductory reference to
the present ordinary use of the word,
he turned it to the thought of God's
world-wide war against sin and the
necessity for prepared leadership in
the on-going of the divine plan for the
betterment of the world and the full
and final triumph of righteousness.
The large audience was most in
tensely interested in the address, and
at its close many hearty words of com
mendation were heard among the stu
dents and others who heard the address.
Class work began at 8 o'clock Tues
day morning, and this "university in
the woods" got down to strenuous study
and work.
In Dr. Lane's Bible study class this
first morning there were enrolled 166
pupils. Some inspiration in teaching
a company like that. At 7 o'clock Tues
day morning there were 241 students
registered. The weather is beautiful,
and everybody in the camp seems to
be happy and full of good cheer.

EUGENE, Or.. July 19. (Special.)
Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, of Princeton,
English lecturer in the University of
Oregon Summer school, a member of
the party of 80 who climbed Mount
Hood last Sunday, declares he had
never seen a snowfield as beautiful as
the one there, although he baa climbed
the Swiss Alps.
He narrates an amusing Incident.
One member of the party had been
complaining and grunting all the way
up the mountain, declaring he would
never be able to reach the top. Finally
when he did reach the summit, he
patted his chest, triumphantly. "I tell
you, it takes some man to make that
climb," he proclaimed. Impressively.
Some man!"
Just then he espied a group of ten
who had ascended from the other side,
among whom was a one-legged man on
crutches. Rushing over to the cripple.
he gasped:
"How did you get up here?"
"Walked up. Did you think they
carried me r- replied the cripple.
"My God!" was all the other had to
say.
Dr. Spaeth made the trip up the
Three Sisters, with the Mazamas last
year, at which, time he discovered the
Lost Falls and wrote some verses
about them which were published In
the Mazama magazine. He may go for
a short time this year to Mount Jef
ferson.
In the First Methodist Episcopal
Church South Rev. W. J. Fenton will
be in his pulpit every Sunday until
after the annual conference, which
will convene August 30.
The services will be made especially
interesting this morning on account of
the theme to be discussed "The Divine
Prerogative." Presumption on man's
part has made it necessary, for the
question to be asked, "What right
has man to say that God will or will
not, where he has not expressed that
will?"
Robert L. Crane will sing. Topic for
the evening, "Soul Recreation."
St. David's Episcopal Church will
begin tonight a six weeks' Sunday
night mission. The slogan of the com
mittee behind the movement Is "Every
one at church at least once a day." The
rector. Rev. Thomas Jenkins, will
preach on "Every American's Re
ligion." Congregational singing will
be a feature. At 11 A. M. Mr. Jenkins
will have as his topic "Why Men and
Women Should Go to Church."
encles and delinquencies of spirtual
maltreatment."
Dr. Stansfleld will preach this morn
ing at 10:30 o'clock on "Some Things
John Saw; the River of the Water of
Life," in which he will show that the
best of life comes from the highest
the throne of God and the Lamb," the
water of life" that Is, the highest
satisfactions and good comes from the
throne of God," which Is highest jus
tice and righteousness, and from "the
Lamb" that is, self-sacrifice and serv
ice. Life's truest satisfactions are from
these two sources in God and in man.
Dr. Stansfield has had large congre
gations all Summer and feels there is
great interest in churches and their
activities now. The Sunday school at
tendance has fallen off, as many of the
children are at the beach, but the night
meetings are as large as ever.
An offering for the Armenians will
be taken this morning In KenUworth

JpyR. JOSHUA STANSFIELD. of First

night on a subject that will attract a
large crowd or should do so. The
topic will be "Spiritism and Psychical
Research." This will be the third ser
mon of a series on "A Candid tConsid
eratlon of Some Modern Cults." Next
Sunday night the pastor will consider
"Faith Cures."
Dr. Stansfield, In announcing his sub
Ject, said he would "show the utter
fallacy of the supposition that spirit
and immortal life may be evidenced in
ocular terms; also the immoral tend

Luther R. Dyott announces for his ser
mon tonight at 7:45. In the morning
at 10:30 o'clock Dr. Dyott will show
some of the powers and possibilities of
thought in the lives of plain, everyday
persons, his theme at this time being.
"As One Thinketh." At one of tne
services in1 this church during the N.
E. A. convention, recently held in Port
land, it was found that there were
representatives present at church that
morning from most of the states in the
Union.
The women of the First Congrega
tional Church spent two days during
the past week in sewing for the Red
Cross.
The Bible school holds a Summer as
sembly hour at noon on Sundays. To
day W. G. Pearson will give
"Chalk Talk." which promises to be
very interesting. On Thursday even
ings Dr. Dyott conducts devotional
study of the psalms, and the attend
ance at these meetings in the cnurcn
parlors is reported as being very good.

Rev. William R. Reece Thinks Belief in Trinity and Many Other Ancient Doctrines Is Being Superseded.

BY REV. WILLIAM R. REECE.
2s'ew Church Society ( Swedenborgian), Eilers
Hall.
yv ELIGION, to bo universal, must
l- have two Qualifications: It must
-t-w be so simple that the humblest
mind, even that of a child, can grasp it,
and at the same time so profound that
the keenest intellect shall never cease
to wonder at its depth. Likewise a
church, to be for ail men. must be
larger than an organization. Such a
church as a new understanding of
spiritual truth is representatively de
scribed in the last two chapters of the
Bible under the symbol "New Jerusa
lem," seen by John to be descending
out of heaven from God.
This church, according to that same
marvelous prophecy of the things of
God, is composed of all those, both
within and out of an organization, who
"keep the commandments of God and
the testimony of Jesus Christ." These
two things may be rightly considered
The essentials, the foundation of re
ligion, for God and his law are the
two things around which all religion in
every clime is centered. Conceptions
of God and of his law may change, but
these two fundamentals stand through
all time.
Doctrine of One God Advanced.
The New Church comes to the world
with a new conception of these two.
this giving it the character of newness.
This is, in brief, that God is one divine
person, and that the Lord Jesus Christ
of the Gospels is he. That there is no
other God but he. either in highest
heaven or on the earth, that no other
conception of God is possible or neces
sary; that in him we have the supreme
ideal and source of perfect divine and
human life; that his life and words are
not only unsurpassable, but are the
constant source of all worthy life and
words in men.
The New Church does not shy at the
conception of an anthropomorphic God.
It rather glories in it. The man-god of
the New Jerusalem, however, is not the
limited god of the past with human
passions, anger, revenge, hatred of ene
mies and petty Jealousy. He is the one
perfect man, the only man in the uni
verse. The New Jerusalem thinks of God
as "having a face like a man, a body
like a man, with no. difference with re
spect to form, but only with respect to
essence. His essence is that he is love
itself and wisdom itself, thus life it
self." In a word, it thinks of God, whom it
calls the Lord, as love and wisdom per
sonified, and that Jesus Christ was the
personification of love and truth. Thus
he was God. for God is love and i
truth, and these cannot be divided into
parts or personalities.
The white-robed citizens of the New
Jerusalem worship him as the first and
the last, the king of kings and lord
of lords him who is and who 'was and
who is to come. This acknowledg
ment and this worship is "the testi
mony of Jesus Christ." j
The law of the king of kings is
none other than the word of God. This
word is the sum of his commandments.
Those who keep the commandments of
God with whom the dragon makes
war are those who, with minds and
hearts directed to Jesus Christ as the
divine healer of mankind, search the
word for laws of life and daily prac
tice. They find, as they get his com
mands into their hearts and minds, that
the word, this book we call the Bible.
Is the law of love, and that from be
ginning to end it teaches nothing else
but love to God and to man.
It is found to be a spiritual book be
cause it deals with life the life of God
and of man. On the surface a mere
history within all glorious; a divine
psychological drama of the unfolding
of man's awareness of the Lord Jesus
Christ resident at the heart of every
man and woman.
This concept that Jesus Christ is the
supreme God, the savior and regen
erator of the race, the source of its
life and spiritual energy, is not new.
The concept that the Bible, as to both
Old and New Testaments, is all about
him and centers around him Is not new
it has appeared at various times in
the history of the race during the
thousands of years past.
But a realization of these two truths
that satisfies every demand of the heart
and intellect is new. The New Church
is Just this new realization of an ages-
old truth. It is a restoration of prlml
tivo Christianity; Christianity in Its
right mind, freed from errors which
for hundreds of years past have ob
scured these two great underlying
truths. And everlastingly freed from
them because they have been tried In
the fiery furnace of human experience
and found wanting.
It is with sorrow and shame that
Christians today acknowledge the false
and cruel ideas of the Lord that have
been taught in the church of his name
for hundreds of years past; they now
see that such could scarcely have been
more dangerous or disastrous. The
teachings that God is three persons and
not one; that one of these persons is
angry with men for their sins; that
he prepared a. place of never-ending
fire for sinners; that he was satisfied
with beholding the death of the second
person in the trinity on the cross for
the sins of all men are now seen to be
neither in accord with the word nor
with the most crude conception of
ethics.
When there was added to this the
other teaching that mere assent to the
dogma, that the second person of this
imagined trinity died on the cross to
pay the debt owned by the sinner im
mediately absolved the guilty one
from all penalties and made him sure
with God, it can be scarcely wondered..
that those who accepted such teaching
became " ten-fold more the children of
hell" than those who refused to be
lieve it. One who became a member
of the so-called Christian Church
could not but be made worse for the
fact.
This misconception bore fruit during
the 16th and 17th centuries in an un
precedented increase of materialism.
It bore evil fruit in the lives of those
who accepted it in the form of indif
ference and . carelessness with regard
to the kind of life a man lived. All
that mattered, the world was taught,
was a thing of simple belief "that
Christ died for you." accept this even
on your deathbed and you were safe
from the wrath of the Father, and as
sured of a place In heaven.
Teaching Still Peralnta.
The effects of this teaching are only
beginning to wear away today, rem
nants of it still linger here and there,
but it no longer has the hold over men
it once enjoyed.
One effect of the teaching, however,
is .this: It prevents those who would
accept the libw conception of Jesus
Christ and the Word from doing so in
peace. Let any one make an effort to
do eo and he is troubled both from
within and from without. The cloud
of error in men's spiritual conceptions
has so long darkened the earth of our
minds that it is only with great dif
ficulty that an awakened mind and
heart can throw off the trammels.
There are opposing forces not only
in the world of men, but in the inner
world of spirit. Evil forces do not
readily give up their power. There
are men, many of them, who, in the
name of God, fight this great truth,
believing it to be contrary to the Word
and the Lord himself. These are sym
bolized in Revelation xxi by the "great
dragon having seven heads and 10
horns, who. cast out a flood of waters
after the woman had brought forth a
man child."
The man-child stands, in this ac
count, for these essentials of the new
church; that Jesus Christ is the one
Lord of the Heavens and of the earth,
and that the Word is his divine truth
and the perfect rule of life. The flood
of waters cast out of the dragon's
mouth is but another scripture symbol
(and the whole Scripture is but a sym
bol of spiritual things) representing
the arguments and reasons put forth to
prove that these two great truths are
false. The child, however, was caught
up to God an dto his throne, symboliz
ing that these truths will be preserved
and triumph In the face of all opposi
tion. Belief In Trlnltr Not Held.
The old teaching of three gods, of
Jesus as a man and the Bible a human
book, blunted the human intellect and
hardened the heart; it gave rise to a
foliation of false ideas, each partaking
of the corruption of tne parent stem.
It was Just this that made the new
church necessary. In it the Son of
Man has been "lifted up so as to draw
all men unto him.'" He, the Lord, is
"lifted up" out of the realm of finite
humanhood into the realm of godhood
and pure divinity; the Bible, out of
the fog of all human literature into
the pure Word of God, a word of di
vine dictation and form.
None can. question the simplicity of
this new conception of God and of his
Word, but many will question its truth.
It seems at first glance too tremen
dous, too sweeping; it is too flatly In
contradiction to all that we have hu
manly been accustomed to think con
cerning Jesus and the Bible. The
proof, however, is not in intellectual
intricacy, but in workableness -the re
sult it produces in human lives.
Certainly none could question the
wisdom of patterning his life as to all
his words and acts after that of the
divine man Jesus Christ surely none
could be far off in adopting the Ten
Commandments as his one rule of life.
If he does this then he is of the new
church, wherever he may be. whatever
be his denominational affiliation. The
greatest facts of life are the simplest.
Simplicity is the proof of greatness.
Let any man discover what he will, at
tain any conceivable height of philo
sophical or scientific attainment, he
will never discover a more important
or significant fact than that Jesus
Christ is the one perfect God-man,
made known to us through this veil of
flesh, showing us the heart and mind
of God, becoming to us the supreme
object of love and worship.
And when he discovers this, through
his keeping of the commandments of
God, he will discover another great
truth that the Word is from the Lord
and about him from Moses to Revela
tion, the fountain head of spiritual wis
dom for men on earth and in heaven.
The new life he feels as a result of
these two great fundamentals will be
