- . , -.- .. - 1 - ' ' - - " -' ..... r: , . . . -

10
PLANS for 1918 are being formulated
in all the churches and without
any "exceptions the churches will
lo greater work than ever before. Not
only in religious service but in patriotic
service, too, they will be active.
This morning the members and
friends of St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral
re celebrating the 53d anniversary of
the founding of that church. In keeping
with the occasion Dean McColl later
will deliver an especially prepared
dress and the festival music of the
Christmas service will be repeated. The
beautiful Christmas decorations are
still standing. A large attendance of
' communicants and friends is .expected.
This is also the last Sunday before
Ttev. J. A. Stansfield, of New York, be
gins his ten days' mission at the Pro-
cathedral and the Dean will have some
announcements to make in this connec
tion. Service flags are being unveiled In
nearly all the churches. This will be
an interesting day at St. David's Epis
copal Church, East Twelfth and Bel
mont streets. At 11 o'clock this morn
ing. Rev. Thomas Jenkins, the rector,
will dedicate the service flag contain
ing 43 stars. Parents and friends of
these volunteer patriots will be present.
The names of the brave 43 will be read
at the time of the dedication. St.
David's has one hero who has paid the
price, hie having been killed in action
two years ago. The rector has eight
nephews in the war. He has Just re
ceived word that one of these ,was
killed in Saloniki. but these eight are
not. on the St. David's roll.
Tonight at St. David's the choir will
sing Dudley Buck's "The Coming of the
King." The silver offering will be for
the choir fund. ,
A watch meeting will be held on
Monday night in the East Side Chris
tian Church. The women of the church
will serve a dinner from 6 to 8 P. M.
A literary programme and music will
follow. Pearl Jones Lotspeaeh will
direct the programme and Elsie Bis
choff Moore the music.
Christmas music will be repeated in
many of the churches today.
The First Congregational Church will
have Dr. II. H- Kelsey. of San Fran
cisco, in its pulpit. Dr. Kelsey is sec
retary of the American Board of Con
gregational churches. The passing of
Dr. j-yott leaves the pulpit of First
Church vacant. It also leaves a feel
ing of great loss among the ministers
of the city, as Dr. Dyott was widely be
loved for his gentleness. Christian
spirit and kindliness.
A new service flag displaying 82
stars greeted the congregation of the
East Side Christian Church last Sun
day morning. This is one of the largest
numbers on a church flag in the city.
Rev. R. H. Sawyer preached a strong
and eloquent sermon from Isaiah lx:8-9.
At the close of the service five new
members were received.
Sunnyside Church to Hold
New Year's Eve Party.
Rev. D. A. Thompson. Prominent
Christian Endeavor Worker, Now
on War to France to Take Ip Y.
31. C. A. Work.
On New Year's ev a watch party
will be held at the Sunnyside Congre
gational Church. A programme will
be given by the Christian Endeavor
Bociety, and a fire-light service will be
held from 11 to 12 P. M... led by Miss
Edna Whipple, state C. E. president.
Last Friday the Atkinson Congrega
tional Christian Endeavor Society gave
an enjoyable Christmas party at which
Earl Feike, Vancouver's T. M. C. A.
secretary, and a dozen soldiers were
guests of honor. A large number of
Endeavorers attended and were well
entertained with games and - stunts.
A Christmas tree and a Santa who
distributed comical gifts wound up the
affair.
Rev. r. A. Thompson, who has been
the war service chairman of the
Multnomah County Christian Endeavor
Union, has been called to the colors for
Y. M. C. A. work and is now on his
way to France. Rev. Mr. Thompson was
pastor of the Mizpah Presbyterian
Church, and supervised the war service
work of the Christian Endeavor Union.
His committee has been responsible
for the bi-weekly devotional services
held at the Y. M. C. A. buildings at
Vancouver by endeavor societies. They
have furnished speakers and musical
programmes regularly for these serv
ices during the last few months.
This committee has supplied all but
two of the needs asked by the Y. M.
C. A., both at Camp Lewis and Van
couver. The endeavorers have sent
window curtains, books, phonograph
records, hospital boxes and various
furnishings for the Y. M. C. A. build
ings. Rev. Warren Morse, pastor of the
Atkinson Memorial Congregational
Church, will continue with the work
begun by Rev. Mr. Thompson. He has
ior some time been closely in touch with
the Christian Endeavor Union and his
valuable services as helper and ad
viser have been greatly appreciated
by it. The fact that 40 gift-boxes for
the hospital wards at Vancouver ahd
trimmings for several Christmas trees
were sent during the last week shows
how zealously Rev. Mr. Morse has en
tered into supervision of the new
work. The Union feels that, because of
his enthusiasm over the work and his
interest and assistance always given,
Mr. Morse will be a capable leader for
the war service committee.
"Second Incarnation" to Be
Sermon Topic.
Dr. Mllllgan Believes This Is Last
Great War.
THE subject of Dr. Robert H. Mil
ligan's sermon this morning at
Ttose City Park Presbyterian Church
will be, "The- Second Incarnation"; de
veloping tne thought that the birth of
Jesus is the promise of a second incar
nation that is the incarnation of Christ
in society Christ in art. in philosophy,
in politics, in industry, the spirit of
Christ infinitely dominant in the
world. "History ia a moral process
and that process is the realization of
Christ's purpose. There will surely be
an end of war. The hope that this will
be the last great war Is perfectly
valid." This is Dr. Mllligan's opinion.
Evening theme: "A New Idea of
God Born Into the World With Jesus."
