UNION SERVICES ARE SUCCESS DURING VACATION SEASON
Denominational Lines Are Set Aside by Several Congregations in Portland for Summer.
WHILE many of the church mem- i
bers are at the beaches, the '
services still are well attended.
In some localities union services are
held, with denominational lines set
SLSide and forgotten.
The four churches In the Sunnyslde
district. United, Presbyterian, Friends,
Methodist and Congregational, have ar
ranged for a series of union Sunday
evening meetings during August and
these will be held in the various church
buildings as follows: August 5, Congre
gational; August 12, United Presby
terian; August 19 and 26, Methodist.
Ir. H. F. Given, of the United Presby
terian Church, will occupy the pulpit
of the Congregational Church this even
ing; Rev. H. L Cox. of the Friends
Church, will deliver the sermon at the
United Presbyterian Church August 12.

Besides the inspiration of the metings,
the fellowship will be greatly enjoyed.
Jhe public is cordially invited.
"The Path That Leads to Spiritual
Strength and Triumph," a subject that
deals with the most important phase
of Christian life, will be discussed by
Eev. W. J. Fenton, of the First Meth
odist Episcipal Church South, at 11
o'clock this Sunday. He firmly be
lieves that there Is a well-denned, beau
tifully ordered plan that works out
the Father's will in human destiny, and
that spiritual strength is an attainment
within the reach of men only as they
are able to use the means of grace at
their command.
"Beauty and strength of spirit should
te the accomplishments most sought
after, as they alone abide," declares
Rev. Mr. Fenton. The evening hour
will be turned Into an old-fashioned
class meeting.

pulpit today at the First Christian
Church.
At the next annual convention a spe
cial lectureship, conducted by some
eminent religious leader from the East,

wish his name known. These lectures
will continue throughout the conven

j Pastor of East Side Baptist Church.
t "And Peter."
Marie xvl:7 "His disciples and Peter.'
IT IS my present purpose to show
you how Simon. Peter went down
to hell, and then to show you how
lie came back again Into the clear light
of a right adjustment to Jesus Christ.
For the first step down we turn to
the 54th verse of the 14th chapter of
Mark, where we read that Peter "fol
lowed afar off." Afar off geographical
ly, and sympathetically, and spiritually.
All stunned, and dazed, disappointed
and despairing, and desperate, he still
followed that procession such as had
never been seen before, or since, and
can never bo seen again. Just a few
hours before the Master had said in
the hearing of Peter. "All ye shall be
offended because of me this night";
and Peter had vehemently Insisted that
he personally could never be offended
because of Jesus. And in reply the
Lord had foretold the thrice-repeated
denial of himself by his disciple, which
Peter had strenuously affirmed could
never become a fact. And Peter be
Jleved what he said. For his was the
Impulsive nature of an impetuous roan,
who ever wore his heart upon his
sleeve, and uttered his thought with no
effort at concealment. And he mani
festly lacked the cool, calculating dis
position that necessarily accompanies
hypocrisy. But when the awful mo
ment of testing arrived Peter was not
sufficient for it, and followed afar off;
and by so doing in the light of what
afterward happened he teaches us this
lesson, we do well to heed: "Distance
from Jesus Is nearness to peril."
Peter's Thonght Was Self.
And the second step down we now
stop to notice is furnished by John in
the 18th chapter of his gospel where
we read that "Peter stood and warmed
himself." We hava already seen him
In the wrong place, even afar from his
Lord; now it is ours to behold him
among the wrong people, and for the

OF SIMON, PETER'S DENIAL OF CHRIST CLEARLY GIVEN
Rev. Walter B. Hinson, Pastor of the East Side Baptist Church Reviews Last Days of Jesus of Nazareth.
wrong purpose. For the place of the
disciple Is not among the foes of the
Master; nor is It fitting that the serv
anteven if Peter waa cold should be
greater in Importance than the Lord,
who also was cold on that night of
nights. For to Peter that night, as to
us ever, there are many greater perils
than cold; and with the Savior in such
sore straits there is other business for
the saint than warming himself. Surely
here lies another warning for us all.
From being In the place of offense he
becomes one of the offending throng;
and thus Peter In the firelight of the
palace court furnishes us a solemn sug
gestion that we keep ourselves clear
of the entangling evil which is ever
about us. They tell us there are pic
tures to be seen in the fire! And I
wish that Peter in the fire that night
had seen the picture of the memorable
day when Andrew, his brother, jubi
lantly told of having found the Christ.
Or - of that other epoch-making day
whfen he affirmed Christ to be the
Son of God, and the only Savior. But
alas, he is warming himself; and is re
gardless of the biting need of the one
who loved him so well; and thus he
teaches us our second lesson, that
"Thinking less of Christ than of self
is fraught with danger.'
One Lie Followed by Another.
The third downward step upon which
Peter placed his foot Is mentioned by
Matthew in the 26th chapter of his
Gospel: "A damsel came unto him say
injf, 'Thou also wast with Jesus of Gal
ilee.' " And caught in the squall, of
which, however, he had received ample
and adequate warning, poor Peter told
his first lie that wild night. -But son
another maid said, "This fellow was
also with Jesus," and the blunt tongue
of Peter lied again: "I do not know
the man." And then after a little while
they that stood by said to Peter, "Of
a truth thou also art one of them; for
thy speerh" the dialect peculiar to
Galilee "bewareth thee." And he de
nied again. Again we say, "Poor Peter,
verily thou art as soldiers caught in
the barbed wire of the pit. And strug

William Johnston Erects Handsome
Ruildins Which He Presents to
Diocese.
TO found for himself and his family
a home in every sense of the word
and to worship God according to the
dictates of his conscience, William
Johnston entered the Nehalem Valley
in 1876 and established himself in the
place now known as Vesper, Or. In
those days there were no good roads
and Mr. Johnston had to chop down
the trees and break his way through
a wilderness. Much of the 70 miles in
land was very difficult traveling and
the family furniture was packed at
times on the man's own back.
Now there are broad farms and happy
homes and last Sunday there was dedi
cated a little Episcopal church build
ing erected by Mr. Johnston and hisj
sons and to Bishop Sumner wno pre
sided at the services, Mr. Johnston
turned over the deed to the church
property.
The well-built, attractive little
church is situated on a knoll Just where
two roads meet. Mr. Johnston mought
the property purposely, as the site was
so charming. None of his own vast
holdings seemed good enough.
The entire congregation is made up
of the Johnston family. There are Mr.
and Mrs. Johnston, their sons, William
E., Andrew, John and Thomas, two
daughters. Mrs. M. E. Rosenberg and
Mrs. F. E. Morris, and the following
grandchildren: Ruby, Veda and Ethel,
children of Mr. and Mrs. William John
ston; Laura, Myrtle, Florence and Ken
neth, children of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Johnston; Ellen, Margaret, Miriam,
Gladys, Harriet and Albert, children
of Mr. .and Mrs. Rosenberg; Everett,
May, William and Li la, children of Mr.
and Mrs. John Johnston; Seymour and
Emmanuel, children of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Johnston, and Willis, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Morris.
sThe entire family attends church and
when the weather is fine they have a
gling therein thou dost bunglingly
move faster into the lair of the lion
of hell." For the first lie pulled hard
at the second lie, and the second made
the third seem necessary. Is it any
wonder that the marching orders bid
us to shun the very appearance of evil?
ror the endless chain of evil Is made
with such craftiness that the first link
introduces the second, and the second
the third, until the moral nature suf
fers disintegration, and the Soul be
comes as a foul cage of unclean birds.
Psalmist's )rds Were Warning.
I cannot but remember here that
Peter's mother had taught him the
First Psalm. And Peter could have
quoted in that Judgment hall the great
words of David: "Blessed is the man
that walketh not In the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful." But alas, how often do we
possess the knowledge and fail to crys
tallize it into conduct! Therefore do
we here find Peter doing the identical
three things that the Psalmist warns
against. For David said, "Blessed Is
the man who walketh not In the coun
sel of the' ungodly"; and Peter did It,
as he followed afar off; and David
added, "Nor standeth in the -way of
sinners," and Peter stood with them
warming himself: and David con
tinuing Bald, "Nor sitteth in the
seat . of the scornful." and Peter sat
down with them. Let somebody shout
across the firelight in that hall, and
remind Peter of the Psalm he learned
at his 'mother's knee, and had repeated
to himself on Galilee's calm waters'.
But It is too late now. for he has de
nied his Lord once, twice, thrice; and
he teaches us the third awful lesson
which we must hereafter heed, that
"Sin is cumulatively disastrous to the
soul."
Old Habit Rises Strong.
Thus and there he fell. Lie follow

the cock may crow soon, or what may
not occur! But listen! In the Gospel

Wednesday night representative
men and women, together with
the pastors, of the Waverly Heights
Congregational Church, the Clinton
Kelly Methodist Episcopal and Kenil
worth Presbyterian churches, -met at
the Presbyterian manse .with Rev. E.
P. Lawrence to consider plans for fed
erated religious and social movements
for the three churches during the Fall
and Winter. All were very enthusiastic
over the prospect for much greater
strength in religious work through the
co-ordinating of the forces of the three
bodies In these communities.
Plans were laid for a rally day In
each Sunday School on September 16,
toward which the forces of the three
schools would work and advertise, the
day to close with a union rally service
in the Clinton Kelly Methodist Episco
pal Church in the evening.
A social canvass of the entire dis
trict covered by the three churches was
arranged for to be made some time
during the month of October, probably
about the middle of the month, at
under the direction, of Peter he fur
nishing its details, we might say do
we read of the fourth step down, as he
denied the Lord, nd buttressed his
lies with oaths ana' curses. John makes
no mention of the oaths, for was not
John Simon Peter's best friend? But
Peter will have the whole truth writ
ten down, so he bids Mark place on
record the accursed report In all Its
fatal fullness; "He began to curse and
to swear, saying, I know not this man
of whom ye speak." Verily the silence
of John is golden and does him credit
by the grace of God. But surely the
speech of Mark, when thus Interpreted,
is equally golden; for Peter will have
recorded, to the last bitter drop of self
contempt, the whole dreary record of
his never-to-be-forgotten denial of tho
Master in his supreme hour of deep
and dire distress. Said we not thai
the one sin demands, requires, breeds,
necessitates, and will bring along an
other? So now shall' Peter' revert to
his old bad practice on- the lake, and
so the old rough, blustering blasphem
ing fisherman breaks the bonds of
discipleship, and once more holds tem
porary sway, as Peter becomes Simon
with a vengeance. . . .
Youth's Lessons Important
He reverted, we say, to his old habit.
Therein lies much suggestive truth
from which many lessons of high value
might be gleaned. But let this one
suffice. Backsliding. In its essential
nature, is a lapse Into the old mode of
life. The converted swearer, drunkard,
gambler, obscene man, who backslides,
drops back into the old familiar swear
ing, or drunkenness, . or gambling, or
obscenity, as the case may be. There
fore let us with increased ardor seek
the conversion of the young, who in
their tender years have not formed
the habits of evil into which those of
later growth are fearfully- liable to
fall. For then, if in early life our
loved ones find the Lord, the very hab
its of childhood will be good and safe
guarding and holy. And thus from a
twofold cause we come into possession
of our fourth great lesson: "Beware

which time the religious preferences
of the many families would be obtained
and" invitations left at each home to

were also made for a union Thanksgiv

ment would mean much to the welfare
of the communities and the strengthen

Rev. A. B. Calder, Rev. A. O. Moses
and Rev. E. P. Lawrence are the pas
tors. Emll Clifford Hartmann, a well
known metaphysical teacher of Kan
sas City, who is holding lectures and
class work this week In the Comforter
rooms, 186 Fifth street, will speak this
evening in Eilers Hall, Broadway and
Alder street, upon the topic, "How to
Protect Our Soldiers Through Scientific
Prayer." At the close of the lecture
the protecting prayer will . be prayed
for all whose names are brought. Mr.
Hartmann will conduct the 11 o'clock
service in the Comforter rooms, his
topic being "Intuition." ' A healing
the evil past. Snakes of sin are often
er scotched than killed."
So there he lies. The poor, perjur
ing liar that he depicts himself to be
in the Gospel of Mark. And there Is
little left to be done except to toss the
Inferior pottery out into the accursed
potter's field. For Is It not time to
say of Peter:
"Fallen and lost, from these great eyes
The God has fled;
When faith declines, and honor dies.
The man is dead."
But what is this the Potter salth? A
vessel of honor may yet be made out of
the much abused and seemingly spoiled
clay. Well, we will thankfully heed the
good Potter's suggestion, as we see
now how Peter climbed by Christ's
grace up out of lonely hell.
Prophecy Remembered.
And I read. "The Lord looked upon
Peter." Which Is, being interpreted,
Peter looked at the Lord. For the
Lord had looked at Peter many times'
dare we not say all the time? during
that period of disintegration, defeat,
and shame. There were furrows of
pain ploughed by the scourging on
Christ's back that night; but Peter's
lies were mightier blows by far. Thorn
pierced the brow of the Christ that
night; but Peter's oath pierced the
Lord Christ's heart. And the Lord
had looked on Peter from out his eyes
of awful pain, with the grim cross
shining through. But now the cock
crows out there in the chill and early
dawn, and Peter remembers the solemr
prophecy of the Christ, how he had
said, "Ere the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice," and so he looked in
Christ's direction, and meets the Lord's
sad yet tender gaze. Had he only
looked before! But he did not! Or
he would never have denied, never have
told the lie, never have had the life
long regret and shame, never have had
to put down the dismal record in
Mark's Gospel. He looks at the Lord
now. Now when it is too late, say you!
I hope not! For I love Peter. And his
abasement there in the Judgment hall
Is my great grief. And I am Peter.

Blessed Sacrament, Maryland avenue and
Tes, I am! And If It Is too late for
Peter to look toward the Christ, it Is
too late for me to look. Is It too late;
O speaker, move faster and let us see:
"And he went out." Of course he
did. I knew he would. There was
nothing else for him to do. To hang
himself as Judas did? Yes, that is
what he will do. So take your last
look at Peter. See him go out. the
great cords swollen on neck and brow',
the eyes aflame, the sobs rising in his
throat, the heels of him ringing hard
on the pavement as he strides out. Out
to die? No; for I read that he wept
bitterly. Then he will not do the Judas
act. Not If he weeps bitterly. Let
him weep. Angels, devils, men, let him
weep. For there is that in him that
will burn, and slay, and devour, unless
he can weep, and weep bitterly. Bless
God, the storm breaks, and some relief
may come.
But he is no disciple any more. He
knows that. He says it over and over,
and In divers tones. Now challeng
Ingly. and then bitterly, and last re
gretfully. For has he not denied the
great Master? And therefore he is fin
outcast and an alien. But as yet he
knevs not the Christ. For one day
the message comes that the Lord has
appointed a meeting-place with the
disciples. But Peter no longer counts
himself among the apostolic band.
Peter's Life Reclaimed.
He has ceased to be a disciple, be
cause of his disloyalty. But the good
Lord Jesus will not have it so. There
fore does the messenger say, "Go. tell
his disciples and Peter." "What's
that?" shouts Peter, "'And Peter'; did
he say that?" And Peter runs off to
wards the empty tomb which reverts
back to Joseph of Arimathea now, 'as
for it the risen Lord has no further use.
And Christ somewhere, somehow, ap
peared to Cephas, for so affirms the
record. Then when fishing one day,
Peter ascertains through John that tha
lonely figure on the shore is Jesus
Christ. And so Simon will swim ashore
to the Master. There comes a conver
sation which breaks Peter's heart
science for guidance, and the golden
rule for service. He believes that in
keeping oneself well he Is overcoming;
and demonstrating above disease and.
he is enthusiastic in telling that in hla
32 years in the pulpit and on the plat
form he never missed a Sunday service
because of 111 health. He opens a New
Thought Sunday school in Cleveland,
in which Sir Rabindranath Tagore's
ideal of education, which is also shared
as an original idea by Dr. Grumbine, of
awakening in a boy and girl a con
sciousness of his own innate, potential
divinity, should be the one end of all
culture and life, will be taught. He Is.
novs preparing a catechism to be taught
on his return to Cleveland.
Mrs. Grumbine, who was a student
of the late Mrs. Rosa Bloch-Bauer, as
sists her husband as contralto soloist,
and her voice has wonderfully improved
in tone, quality and richness of volume.
Dr. Grumbine specializes on child cul
ture, and introduces into the usual
methods his ideas of the psychology of
color, suggesting for over-active and
mischievous children a light blue or
violet room, and for nervous, delicate
children, a pink room.
At Venice Park Chautauqua, Atlantic
City, last Summer he gave a series of
lectures on supernormal psychology, in
which some child problems covering
color influences were discussed. He
considers that Portland has in It the
makings of a great center for New
Thought, but the movement at present
is in a. primary and elementary condi
tion. Dr. Grumbine is a graduate of St.
Lawrence University, also a life fellow
of the Society of Science, Letters and
Art. London. England; a member of the
National Geographic Society, and is
the author of 14 books. He states that
in 1912 he prophesied the present war
and held that drouth and famine would
continue until 1926. He declares that
America's part will sober the people
and lift the masses from self-love and
materialism into a love of truth and a
universal brotherhood.

afresh. For Jesus asks again, and yet
again, "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me?" And when for the third ,
time the question is asked, Simon's
heart breaks; for he grieved because
thrice over has the Lord asked tho
question, "Lovest thou me?" And hs
answers, "Thou knowest all things"
all about the denials and the cursest
but also "Thou knowest that I love
thee." And then to the heartbroken
Peter, Christ assigns the tenderest
work in the kingdom of God, for said
not Browning rightly, "He needs sensi
tive fingertips who touches souls," and
these souls alloted to Peter's care are
among the tendenest. "Feed my lambs."
From the seashore goes Petter to the
upper room, and there receives the
blessing of the cloven tongues of fire,
and the rushing wind, and goes forth
to preach the Pentecostal sermon and
write two letters which shall be bound
up in the Christian Bible.
Lesson Is to Prodigal.
Thus does Peter stand for the gospel
of the second chance! Teaching us
ever that the ways of God are high
above the ways of man. For Peter
shall yet become the Rock, the Man of
Rock that Jesus talked about; yet he
shall, thanks to divine grace, in spite
of the judgment hall and the lies. So
come home, prodigal, for the door into
the palace of the king is wide open.
And there surely is for thee bread and
to spare a welcome warm and true
And thou shall yet praise him, though
thou hast lain among the pots: and
thou shalt become a reconstructed soul
in the loving potter's hands.
Are there 12 gates into the city that
lieth four-square, of which the apostle
writes? Well, then. If to me the three
gates on the north, and the gate3 on
the south, and the three gates on the
east, and the gates on the west, should
all be closed, I will walk around the
city wall yet once again, until I find
the other gate that for my comfort is
there, and through the gate over which
is engraved, "And Peter." I, too, will
pass into tho city, a sinner saved by
the omnipotent trace of the Son of God.
