18 THE SUXDAT OKEGOXIAX, POKTLAXD, SEPTE3IBER 23, 1917. CERTAIN TYPES OF BUILDINGS BARRED New Code to Be Considered by City Council on Next 1 Wednesday. EIGHT STORIES IS LIMIT Proposed Ordinance Is One Drawn by Robert G. Dleck, Former Com missioner in Charge of Public "Works. Vo permits for certain types of buildings may be r ran ted In various sections of the city by the Bureau of Buildings if the Council adopts a pro vision embodied in the new proposed code, consideration of which will be had at its meeting: Wednesday morn ing. Approval by the Council must first be obtained, after a public hear ing, and plans for any proposed struc ture must be filed. Height of building is another item of much importance which will be dis cussed for final action, the Council al ready having informally fixed the limit at eight stories for certain types of of fice buildings. Types of buildings which must be passed upon by the Council before a permit is issued are as follows: Hospitals, buildings for treatment of insane or feeble minded, stables con taining over two animals, large ga rages, dog pound, blacksmith or horse shoeing shops, soap, candle or chem ical factories, dry cleaning establish ments, gas plants or tanks with a ca pacity of over 6000 cubic feet of gas, boiler shops, brick, tile or terra cotta factories, stoneware or earthenware factories, junk or rag shops or junk: or rag storage yards, paint mixing or grinding plants or factories, lumber yards, fuel yards, wood or coal; plan ing mills, packing houses or plants, acid works, woodworking plants em - ploying ovr 10 persons, oil storage or tales buildings containing over 1000 gallons, not including oil stored in tanks underground, oil tanks outside of buildings containing over 15,000 gal lons, tanneries, saddle factories, amuse ment parks, powder factories, public dance-halls, roller-skating rinks, wool pulling, hide or skin warehouses, creameries with over five employes and tents with board floors, used as resi dences. Height of Buildings Important. With regard to the height of build ings. Commissioner Barbur said: "The question of limit of height of buildings was discussed at some length by the Council, and it was decided that the height limit of eight stories, or 310 feet at the building line, allowing increases in height if setbacks are used, be allowed to stand in the code, with the exception that the Council might, if special cases should arise, exceed these 1 im its without resorting to a special permit. In such an event the case would have to be presented to the Council, which, after consider ing its various points, would approve It or not as they saw fit as a spe cial case. It is recognized by the Council that a proper limitation of height of buildings is a most impor tsnt regulation and one that affects the growth and welfare of the city to an extent not appreciated by many of the citizens." The Council has already amended the present building code so that it allows buildings up to four stories in the fire limits of so-called mill con struction. The code to be discussed next "Wednesday is one which was drawn up during the incumbency of Robert G. Iieck, who was Commissioner of Pub lic Works for four years; preceding the administration of Mr. Barbur. The latter has recommended to the Coun cil that this code be adopted.

LOTTERY AGENT IS NABBED ban llins Caught Trying to Sell Tickets on East Side. Sam King's anxiety to drum up busi ness for his Chinese lottery proved his undoing yesterday when he was arrested at East Eighth and East Taylor streets by Patrolman Sorenson, while he was selling some lottery tickets to P. J. Schubert, engineer in an Kast Side planing mill. Since the series of police raids on lottery outfits and gambling games in the Chinese section during the past few weeks, the wily Chinese have been keeping quiet, but Sam Hing evidently thought that he could ply his trade along the Kast Side without interfer ence. The lottery merchant will tell his troubles to Judge Rossman in Muni cipal Court tomorrow morning. COBBLER'S TILL IS RIFLED Boys, Caught With Money and Can dy, Confess Then or $3.

FROM GOD TO MAN DIVIXE COMMUNICATION IN THE CURRENT AGE. Revelation, Past, Present And Future. BY DR. JAMES E. TALMAGE. Of the Council of the Twelve, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. We believe all that God has revealed, all that he' does now reveal, nd vte believe that he will yet reveal many. ereat and Important thins pertatlnlnjf to the kingdom of God. (Articles of Faith, No. 9.) Revelation, direct and personal from God to men. Is the dominant theme of Scripture. Expunge from the Bible all record of actual revelation and refer ence thereto, and what remains? Noth ing more than a variety of historical sketches, chronicles, genealogical data, some chapters of ethical value, a few poetical rhapsodies, proverbs and alle- gortes. Every believer in the authenticity of the Holy Bible acknowledges that God literally spake to Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Moses, and that specific revelation was given to Israel during the time of the Judges, and on to uavid and Solomon, thence to John, who was the immediate forerunner of the Messiah. The actuality of divine revelation through duly constituted prophets, seers and revelators. has been so generally accepted throughout the ages, and is so abundantly attested, that by all . rules of argument and de bate the burden of proof naturally and properly falls upon him who denies. Continued revelation of the divine will and purpose is in harmony with the spirit of the times. In no phase of human effort and advancement, save only that of the soul's salvation, do men venture to assert or even think that we have learned all there Is to learn. What of a college professor, in chemistry, geology or astronomy, who would confine his students to the con ning of books that tell of early dis coveries, with the dictum that nothing remains to be discovered, instead of guiding them in laboratory and field, and in the searching of the outer deep with telescope and spectroscope, with the confident hope of finding new truths? Revelation is God's means of com munication with his children, and we deny the consistent and unchangeable character of deity when we say that God has revealed himself to man, but cannot or .will not do so again. Is it reasonable to hold that in one age the Church of Christ was blessed, enlight ened and guided by direct revelation, and that at another time the church la to be left to itself, sustained only by the dead letter of earlier days? The living church must be in vital com munication with its divine head. M Where there Is no vlivlon the people perlnh iProv. xxix:18); and "Surely the Lord od will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos iii:7). The Christ himself was a revelator, through whom the Father's will was made known to man. Notwithstanding his personal authority as Jehovah. God though he had been, was, and is, while he lived as a man among men, Jesus Christ declared his work to be that of one greater than himself, from whom he had been sent, and by whom he was instructed and directed. Note his words: "For I have not spoken of my self; but the Father which sent me. he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his eommandment la life everlastings whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak" (John xii:49-50). Fur ther: Tbe words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth In me. he does the works. . . . And as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do" (John xiv:10, 31). The recreant and unbelieving Jews rejected their Lord because he came to them with a new revelation. Had they not Moses and the prophets? What more could they need? They openly boasted, "We are Moses disciples," and added, "We know that God spake unto Moses; as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is" (John ix:28-29). Those who deny the possibility of present-day revelation are not distin guished by originality; they follow a beaten path, hard-trodden by ignoble feet. The Apostles ministered under the guiding influence of revelation. Paul writing to Corinthians said: "But tiod hath revealed them (Divine Truths) unto us by his Spirits for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which Is in him f Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God" I Cor. 11:10-12). The imperative need of continued revelation appears in the fact that new conditions and unprecedented combina tions of circumstances arise with the passage of time, and divine direction alone can meet the new issue. We read of statutes having been ordained and subsequently superseded when a more advanced stage of the divine plan had been reached. Thus, the Law of Moses was binding upon Israel from the time of the Exodus to that of the Savior's ministry; but Christ substituted a higher law than that of carnal com mandments, which had been given be cause at the time the people were un prepared for the gospel ( read Matt. v:17-48, and Book of Mormon, III Nephi xv:4-8). The Apostle John knew that in the last days, these present days, the voice of God would be heard calling his peo ple from the Babylon of sin to the Zton of safety: "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Rev. xviii:4; see also xiv:6). Nephi, an ancient prophet, whose record appears in the Book of Mormon, addressed himselfto the unbelievers of the last days, and thus predicted the bringing forth of additional Scrip tures: "And It shall come to pass, that the Lord God shall bring forth unto you the words of a book, and they shall be the words of them which have slumbered. And behold the Hook shall be ealedi and In the book shall be a reve lation from God" (II Nephi xxvii:6-7). Through the Hebrew prophet Malachl the Lord promised additional revela tion In the last days, by the coming of Elijah with a special and particular commission (Mai. iv:5-6). These prophe cies have been fulfilled to the letter in modern times, the first by the bringing forth of the Book of Mormon and its publication to the world; the latter by the inauguration of vicarious work for the dead through the personal visita tion of Elijah, a work now in vigorous prosecution in the Temples erected and maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Eay Saints. Not only has the voice of God been heard in modern times, but his words spell rebuke and reproof unto those who would close his tmouth and es trange him from his people. Verily hath he spoken, "proving to the world that the Holy Scriptures are true, and that God does inspire men and call them to his holy work In their age and generation, as well as In generations of old. thereby showing that he is same God yesterday, today and forever" (Doctrines and Covenants xx:ll-12). Of od the Lord proclaimed : Woe be unto him that shall say. We have re ceived the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough" (Book of Mormon. II Nephi xxviii:29): and in this age hath he spoken words of admonition and warning: Jeny not the Spirit of reve lation, nor the Spirit of prophecy, for -" onto him that denleth these things" (Doctrine and Covenants xi:25). r'or tne Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Articles of Faith and .other literature, apply to any of the Missions of the Church, among which are: Northwestern States Mission, 810 East Madison street, Portland, Or., and.
