evening sermons.
St. David's was organized as a parish
in 1870. In 1867 Rev. J. R. W. Sell
wood, who then resided at Milwaukie,"
was wont to ride on horseback from
that place to hold services in an old
schoolhouse on J street (now East
Oak) and in the following year the
Oddfellows' Hall at East Oak and East
First streets was used. In 1870 four
lots were purchased at East Morrison
street and Grand avenue for $951. In
1870, on Advent Sunday, the building
that Is now the old parish house on
Belmont street, near East Twelfth
street, had been erected at a cost of
$2300. and the first service was held
In the building. The first marriage
service performed in the new St.
David's Church was that of Dr. and
Mrs. S. E. Joseph!, January 1, 1S71, and
ever since the Josephls have been
pillars of the parish.
Other rectors in the parish have
been Rev. A. N. Wrixon, Rev. John W.
Sellwood (1880-1890). Rev. John Sell
wood was ordained priest of . St.
Stephen's (now the pro-Cathedral). He
was an uncle of Rev. John -W. Sell
wood. In 1891 Rev. George B. Van
Waters took charge of the parish of
St. David's and served until 1908. It
' was during this period that the church
location was changed to East Twelfth
and Belmont streets, where a hand
some stone building marks the spirit
of progress and determination that has
characterized the parish. Rev. H. R.
Talbot preceded Rev. Thomas Jenkins
as rector.
An excellent programme was given
Friday for the Red Cross fund at the
East Side Baptist Church and was
enjoyed by a large and appreciative
audience. The church was decorated

The World s Sunday School Associa

graph of a "Father and Son" banquet
which was held in the Y. M. C. A. gym
nasium of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It
was the first banquet of the kind to
be held In South America. Rev. George
r. Howard, field secretary for S-uth
America of the World's Sunday School
Association, arranged for the gather
ing and was assigned the honor of
presiding. In writing about this ban
quet Mr. Howard says in part: .
"There were 100 boys and as many
fathers. It was the first time that
some of these fathers ever heard a
religious talk or had their thoughts
turned toward the necessity of train
ing that part of their son's natures.
They took It very well and many were
the suggestions for the more frequent
holding of these gatherings. We

The text you will find la the Gospel
according to Matthow, chapter 25,
verses 31 and 32: "When the son of
man shall come in his glory, before
him shall be gathered all nations, and
he shall separate them one from an
other." "The eon of man"! "What a phrase
that is! The name which Jesus gave
to himself; for he speaks of himself
almost invariably as -the son of man."
Others said he was the son of God,
Jesus never said this but he was the
on of God, others saw it and said it,
and believed it, and declared it, and
preached it, and it has been so preached
throughout the Christian centuries.
Jesus was manifestly the so'n of God,
but he called himself the "son of man."
He was so divine that in and through
him we have the fullest view of God.
"He that hath seen me hath seen the
father." And the disciples who were
closest to him said later, "We beheld
his glory, the glory as of the onJy be
gotten of the father, full of grace and
truth."

The best view and idea of God the
world has ever yet had it has through

PLEADS FOR PATRIOTIC AID OF
Dr. Joshua Stansfield Points Out That Person Who Is Able and Does Not Help Country Is Slacker
was the light of life. "In him was
life and the life was the light of men."
What Jesus was, what and how he did,
manifests human life more fully than
any other. He was pre-eminently what
he called himself, "the son of man."
This "son of man," manifested in all his
glory, is manifested in human life. Tou
remember what he said upon that mat
ter, "I in thee and thou in me, and I am
glorified in them." Christ's glory is in
human life and 'living. "Full of grace
and truth" graciousness and truth
fine man qualities as touched by the
divine spirit, these are the glory of the
"son of man." "I am glorified in them."
The glory of the son of man is not in
the 8 tars, or the mountains, or the
seas, or the heavens, or any spectacular
physical phenomenon, but in human life
in its fullness. When the eon of man
shall appear in his glory before him
shall he gathered all nations.
Most of the "judgment" that Jesus
talks about is a judgment that goes on
in this life. We do not recall one defi
nite statement one judgment by Jesus
that primarily refers to the future life.
I want to eay that very slowly, we do
not recall one definite statement of
Jesus on tbe judgment which primarily
refers to the future life. 'There is a
coming final judgment for every life.
I hope we all believe that. I do very
firmly. But of that judgment Jesus
Christ did not primarily speak. In all
his parables, and stories about the
kingdom of heaven and the judgment of
man he was dealing with things that
will transpire in this life, and it would
be well for us if we would remember
that. We are so conscious of the cer
tainty of the final judgment, and that
it will be so momentous that we are
carried away in every judgment refer
ence to the future tribunal, and thus,
as individuals and as a church, we are
losing a great deal of the truth and
fine teaching which Jesus gave to the
world.
Time, the Beat Answer.
"When the son of man shall come In
his glory." Not how. I do not know
just how; some people do, they say. I
do not. There are persons who set
dates. Fortunately the dates are move
able and if he does not come at an ex
pected time they can move the date,
We have no controversy with these
people; not at all. Time is the best
answer to all such. Hear me! "When
the son of man Ehall come," I do not
know when It will be. I do not know
Just where, and I do not know whether
it shall be In all places at the same
time, but when he comes In his glory
in the full manfestation of his life
fine, high, divinely touched human life
when he comes la his glory, before

"Some Imprcwloni of Permanent
Volne."
DR. J. J. STAUB, pastor of the Sun
nyslde Congregational Church, has
Just returned from an extended East
ern trip and will occupy his pulpit this
Sunday, both morning and evening. He
attended the sessions of the National
Council held at Columbus, O.. October
10-17, as delegate of the Conference of
Congregational Churches of Oregon.
Before and after the council Dr.
Staub spent some time visiting a num
ber of the larger cities of the Central
and Eastern states, renewing his ac
quaintance with former friends and
members of his church. His work at
Sunnyslde recently passed the 25th
milestone, the event being celebrated
with appropriate anniversary exer
cises. He will speak this evening on
"Some Impressions of Permanent
Value."
On October 11 H. J. Heinz, chairman
of the executive committee of the
World's Sunday School Association,
reached his 73d birthday. At that time
the annual convention of the Pennsyl
vania Sabbath School Association, of
which Mr. Heinz is the president, was
in session in Pittsburg. Preparation
had been made for this occasion by
asking all the oTficers and members
of the executive committee of the
World's Association to send greetings
to their honored chairman. Fifty
seven letters, telegrams and cable
grams had been received from six con
tinents. These were enclosed in a
handsome leather folder.
Slenklewicz' famous story of "Quo
Vadis" will be given at the Atkinson
Memorial Church. East Everett and
Twenty-ninth streets, tonight at 7:45
o'clock. The public is invited. The
story will be Illustrated with lantern
slTdes. It will be recalled that this
story deals with the times of the Em
peror Nero and pictures the profligacy
of the Romans. Moreover, the bitter
persecution of Christians Is depicted
with rare insight and power. "The
whole story Is a glorification of Chris
tianity, of Christian ethics and Chris
tian belief. The despised Christians
have discovered the secret of life,
which the culture of the Roman Pe
tronius sought in vain."
Many mission-study classes are being

There is not any other test with

unexcelled; in organization and co
ordination of forces never before

of her power never has had an
approach; and added to all this, with a
genius for hard and persistent work,
and an ability, to develop resources
intensively, never has any people ap
proached her. Germany was fjrst by
nearly every other standard, and now
she is being judged by the son of
man. If you will let your mind run
backs for 12 or IB months you will
find that the "Judgment" has never

Justify the treatment of Belgium, but
the dark, damning facts remain, and

there is the submarine warfare, par

You may seek to Justify it on grounds
of military necessity and national

you have justified the great- cruel

there Is not a humanized nation on

It Is utterly atrocious and inhuman.
When the son of man comes in his
glory he is not carried away with the
brilliance or the success of the thing,
but upon the inhumanness of it he
pronounces Judgment. There are
atrocities in Armenia, either sanctioned
by or with the cognizance of this

LIBERTY
in Sight of God.
in a word, German inhumanness that
great, black fact, is now pronounced
upon. When the son of man shall come
in his glory, then in the light of that
life all life will be measured from the
human standpoint. Before him shall be
gathered the nations of the earth, and ;
he shall separate them. And the ver
dict of history will be the verdict of
humanity, which is the son of man
speaking through his own.
Do not let anybody say that Dr.
Stansfield does not believe in the final
Judgment; that he does not believe
there will be a day when we shall
gather In the presence of the Supreme
One, he does very much, but he be
lieves that this closing part of Matthew,
25, In which there is the finest word
painting of "Judgment" the world has
ever looked upon or heard, is now
being much fulfilled. He believes that
now the son of man is Judging the
nations of the earth, and pronouncing
upon them, and that he judges me and
thee and the other man. And every
man who at this time who, for family
reasons or business reasons, or private
personal reasons. Is holding back from
a full response to the demand of the
hour, whether the courts pronounce
him a slacker or not, the "son of man"
pronounces 'him such, and he is
"cursed," not because God says so, but
because he is so. God's saying so does
not make it; God says so because it is
so, and when the son of man says
"Depart from me, ye cursed," he does
not curse them; he simply says what
they are; for judgment does not create
anything; it manifests and declares
things. When anyone refuses in an
hour like this to respond to the call
of the best of the nations of the earth,
with money as well as sons; or when
he considers the call purely on a nnan
ctal ground as to whether the interest
on the Investment is equal to what he
could get elsewhere, it does not matter
what other folks jniy say about him
the son of man will have to say
"slacker." And every boy or girl
young man or woman who is earning
money and able to save who will not
take the opportunity at the call of his
country for liberty bonds now. which
is the call of humanity in the freest
and best national unit in all the world
when such young man or woman will
not respond, even if he has to mort
gage the future for it and he will not
be the only one he will be a "slacker,"
and the son of man will say ye did It
not unto me. It ought to be that all
through America the young men and
women under 40 ought to have liberty
bond badges, not because of an invest'
ment, but because of a deep necessity
a high obligation, -a patriotic and in
ternational human service.

"Uncle Sam will find the members
I of the Seventh-day Adventist churches
right at his elbow in sympathy and
fo-operation in the cause of democ
racy." This was the sentiment of a
great union meeting of the Portland
congregations of Seventh-day Adven
tists which was held in Central Church
last Sunday night. Although their day
of worship had been the previous day.
yet they met in response to the call
of the President for special prayer in
behalf of the great cause for which the
Union arms are contending.
Great appreciation was expressed by
many for the ruling of the department
releasing young men of the Seventh
day Adventist Church In the National
Army from service on Saturday, which
is their day of worship.
The entire congregation pledged
themselves to Mr. Hoover's food con
servation campaign, and committees
will be appointed In every church to
carefully follow out the requests of
the department.

Mark you, this war for humanity ia
not alone a nation's war as represented
by army, navy or governmental forces;
it is a people's war, and if all of us
do not do our bit. the son of man will
have to pronounce us what we are
slackers. Oh, men, we are living. We are
dwelling in a grand and awful time.
In an age of ages. This was never
more true than at this moment. Listen:
"When thc son of man shall come in
his glory, then shall be gathered before
him all nations, and he shall separate
them." I hope we will be on the right
side now, ana tomorrow, and always.
Amen.
