'
Dr. William A. Waldo, pastor of the
White Temple, announces for his morn
ing subject, "The Purpose and Span of
Life," and for the evening topic "Beck
oning Hands." During the evening
service the ordinance of baptism will
be administered. Since Dr. Waldo's ar
rival in Portland four months ago,
about 70 new members have been re
ceived, a large number of whom have
come into the church on profession of
faith and baptism. Several will be re
ceived Sunday night. The Temple
Quartet, which has rendered such
splendid music in the last few weeks,
will sing today at both services.
.
The sermon of Rev. Edward Constant
at the Highland Congregational Church
today will be in keeping with the idea
of the memorial season, the topic being
"Building Enduring Monuments." In
the evening at 8 o'clock he will speak
on "The Star-Spangled Banner, Its His
tory and Authorship." This will be the
first of two addresses on two of Amer
ica's great National songs. The follow
ing week he will deal with "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic." These ad
dresses will not only be replete with
historical incidents, but will be found
to be opportune and stimulating to a
broad and healthy patriotism.
At the Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church today the pastor. Rev. T. W.
Lane, will speak on "Prayer Life in
War Times." In the evening the theme
of the sermon will be "A Great Vic
tory." The Sunday School will meet

the morning and at 7:45 at night. i
"I Write Unto You. Young Men" will
be the text of Rev. Warren Morse's
sermon at the 11 A. M. service at the
Atkinson Memorial Church. This text
from one of the letters of the Apostle
John fits into today's experiences
splendidly. No man is lost to home
who gets and sends home letters regu
larly. Its a clear Christian duty and
privilege to keep up a live correspond
ence with the friends over the sea who
are venturing so much for the future
of the world. The evening service at
8 o'clock will be a song service. There
will be some special numbers, but the
WOMAN'S INFLUENCE IN
BV DR. HUGH PEDLEY.
Acting Pastor of the First Congregational
Church.
BEFORE commencing my text on
"Woman's Influence" let me call
attention to the principle that all
power has two aspects. There is the
lossibility of evil and there is the pos
sibility of good. There Is power in
fire and it is power
that may either
burn a city to ashes
lor give comfort and
warmth to count
less homes. There
Is power in elec
tricity and it may
(either show itself in
the awful thunder
bolt or Ui the light
ing of our houses,
streets and fac
tories. There is
power in speech and
it may manifest
Itself in words that
blight or corrupt.
Dr. slngh I'edley.
or In words that cheer and inspire.
There is power in human personality,
and it is a power that either may in
fect a community as with some con
tagious disease or prove a source of
comfort and strength wherever it goes.
Power always has these two aspects.
Womanhood has its own peculiar
power and it, too, either can lift or
cast down, cleanse or bladhen, urge hu
manity forward or turn it backward
from the good. This truth Is recog
nized in the Bible in Zachariah v:6-9.
which graphically portrays the two
sides of woman's influence.
In this woman in the cylindric bas
ket or cage, wickedness is symbolized.
This follows the common Oriental
practice which makes woman the em
blem of temptation.
Shakespeare's Teachings Summed I'm.
Ruskin. in his "Queen's Gardens,"
sums up Shakespeare's teachings in re
gard to woman's influence in this way:
"The catastrophe of every play is
caused always by the folly or fault of
a man; the redemption, if there be any.
Is by the wisdom and virtue of a
woman, and failing that there is none."
That is a very strong statement. If
1
congregation will be expected to share
in the well-known-songs and favorite
hymns of "the times.
Today's services at the Sunnyside
Congregational Church will be of a
memorial character! At 11 o'clock, the
pastor. Dr. J. J. Staub, will take for
his topic "In Grateful Memory." .
The regular annual memorial service
will be held at 7:45 P. M. An excel
lent programme has been arranged
under the auspices of the Men's League.
Stirring patriotic music will be offered
by the chorus choir and the Grand
Army of the Republic quartet. After a
short address by Carl F. Gaiser, presi
dent of the league, Madame Arabella
L. Angelini will speak on "Phases of
rhe Great World War From the Italian
Viewpoint." Her husband is the pastor
of one of .the . famous Waldenslan
churches in the north of "Italy and is
now with his men at the front. She
is filling appointments in some of the
largest churches of the country. -Patriotic
films and a series of bugle calls
by Bugler"yron Trippler. of the 410th
Squadron now at Vancouver, will bring
the meeting to a climax.
At this, morning's services, at the
Hope Presbyterian Church, the pastor.
Rev. F. E. Dorrls, will conduct the
Memorial Day services. McKinley Post,
G. A, R-. and the Women's Relief Corps
will be in attendance. Tonight's sub
ject will be "Some Arguments for Im
mortality." V
This morning at Rose City Park
Presbyterian Church Dr. Milligan will
preach the Becond of a series of ser
mons on "Faith and Fact." The sub
ject will be "The Neutrality of Nature."
Nature does not seem to indorse our
ethical demands. The sun rises on the
evil as well as the good, rain, falls on
the just and the unjust. Nature's in
difference to morality Is appalling. How
is this fact to be reconciled with the
claim of faith that the world Is morally
governed?
In the evening Dr. Milligan will
preach on "The Brotherllness of Jesus."
This is one of a series on the "Man
hood of the Master."
One of the special features of the
Rose City Park Sunday school is the
class for women, led by Mrs. - W. E.
Wright. Mrs. Wright, until her mar
riage, was associated with Billy Sun
day, conducting mass meetings for
women in connection with his evange
listic campaigns.
. . "
Dr. Robert Brumblay, one of Metho
dism's brilliant young preachers, will
address Methodists of Portland at the
Central Methodist Episcopal ChuVeh to
morrow night at 8 o'clock. His sub
ject will be the big drive of the league
throughout this country. This is a
general forward movement of the young
people, closely related to every mem
ber of the Portland area.
Dr. Brumblay, who is superintendent
of the Wenatchee district of hia church,
is now In Astoria in attendance upon
the Epworth League annual convention
of the Portland district, where he is
one of the chief speakers. He also rep
resents the fifteenth general conference
district of the denomination on - the
league board ow control, its governing
body.
The rally tomorrow night is under the
auspices of the cabinet of Portland dis
trict league and will be presided over
by the new district president, elected at
Astoria. .
At the First Divine Science Church,
on Twelfth and Alder streets. Rev.
Thaddeus M. Minard will preach at 11
o'clock on "Spiritual Growth." The
Bible class meets Tuesday at 2 o'clock
and the study class meets on Thursday

pal Church, Dr. E. O. Eldrege, pastor,

June 2, at 10:30 a. m. Dr. W. W. Young-
son, district superintendent, will pre
side and conduct the devotions. Bishop
Matt S. Hughes will preach. A full
choir will lead the music.
The anthems, "Spirit of God." by
Thomas Arthur Humason, and "Praise
My Soul the King of Heaven," by P.
A. Schnecker, will be rendered.
The pastor of the First Christian
Church, Rev. Harold H. Grlffis, will de
liver the Memorial Day address for the
Masonic Lodge at Turner. The first
gold star in the service flag of this
congregation will be -placed in the
name of Harvey Palmer, the news of
whose death In a hospital in London
has just been received. On Sunday
morning Rev. Griffis will endeavor
to enforce the Christian's duty in the
modern world by speaking on the sub
ject, "The Kingdom of God and Your
Part In It." The Sunday evening dis
course on "Contributions From, the
Congregationalists" will be the sixth
in the series of sermons on "Helps
From Our Religious Neighbors."
At the Arleta Baptist Church, Rev.
W. G. Handley, the pastor, will speak
at 11 o'clock on the subject, "Two Prob
lems in Christian Experience;" and at
eight o'clock on "Pentecost and How
It Came."
It is true, then Shakespeare was not
as well balanced in the judgment of
humanity as it has been thought he
was. If In every case the man is the
cause of evil, and In no case the
woman, the presentation is hardly true
to life. But perhaps Ruskin -was ex
aggerating. The mother of Hamlet,
tho wife of Macbeth, the two daugh
ters of King Lear, can hardly be said
to play a redemptive and saving part.
The Bible, at any rate, keeps close to
reality.
Bible Testifies to Power.
It testifies to the power of woman
hood, but It does not find that power
working in every case Tor good. It did
not with Eve, when she tempted Adam;
with Potiphar's wife when she played
'the temptress to Joseph in Egypt; with
Jezebel when she stiffened her hus
band's will to the point of robbing Na
both of his money and his life; with
Bethsheba when she became David's
accomplice In the greatest crime of his
career: with Herodias when she became
the murderer of John the Baptist. The
Bible is blunt enough, plain enough,
in recognizing that the principal influ
ence of womanhood may exert Itself on
the side of evil.
But it is not that with which I have
to do in this sermon, but rather with
the good influence of woman. That is
brought out in the text. If evil Is sym
bolized by woman, the deliverance from
evil domes through the agency of
woman. The-ephah, or measure, with
Its burden of wickedness, is carried
out of the land to its own place in a
far distant and outlawed land, and it is
carried by women. "And I lifted up
mine eyes and saw, and behold, there
came forth two women and the wind
was in their -wings; now they had
wings like the wings of a stork and
they lifted up the ephah between the
earth and tho heavens.
Aspects Aro Vnrlons.
There are various asnects of woman
hood, and the influence exerted is in a
measure determined by the condition
in each rase.
There is the stags of early woman
hood;, the transition stage, ( that which
Longfellow speaks of as the place
"where the brook and river meet."

Possibility, of Evil
There are several relationships In
which the power for good has a won
derful opportunity. The young girl is
a daughter in the home of her father
and mother. If she be wise, unselfish.
thoughtful, kind and cheerful, what an
asset she can be to the home; what a
comfort she can be; what a compan-
on; what a stay in time of trouble!
How much her influence may count

her brother If he can say of her, "She
Is a good sport," by which he means

of the large world. She begins to have
admirers. There is the strange and
beautiful lnter-attraction that is as old
as the race and has grown finer from
century to century. What an influence
she can exert now. How she can uplift
the ideal of man's life, how she can
arouse the noblest elements in his na

We may rest'assured that the young
men of a nation will be very much
what the young women demand 'that
they shall be. If she strikes a low
note, he Is apt to do the same. If she
sound the high note, he will seek to be
in time.
There is the case of unmarried wom
anhood. In nine cases out of ten the
girl passes from being daughter in the
mother's house to being mistress in
her own. But there Is the tenth case.
There are those who do not marry, and
one of the consequences of this war
will be that the number of these will
be vastly increased. It is not the sweet
heart killed at the ford that Tenny
son speaks of, but tbe sweetheart
killed at the gun. in the trench, in the
airplane, that makes unmeasurably
deeper and darker tho tragedy of the
hour. There will be a larger propor
tion of unmated womanhood than the
world has ever known. It is a matter
of no small . 'consequence, therefore,
that due reverence shall be made to
such, and that tbe possibility of their
lives should be held in high esteem.

The subjects for discussion at the
meetings have been many and varied,

war work. The following are some of

The -same holds good with the world,
of living but non-sentient. If you
wish to give a tree a certain shape,
the earlier yon begin the better. Some
times, as you go through the' woods,
you will see strange growths, branches
Intertwined with the branches, some
times even the trunks themselves
clasped in a changeless embrace. First
come, first served, is what nature
seems to say to the influences by which
tho shape of living things is deter
mined. Insnresslons Early Reevlved.
This Is signally true of the human
soul. How soon a definite Impression
Is mads Is for psychologists to deter
mine, but all agree that It Is - very
soon. My own feeling Is that wo make
a mistake when we think that influ
ence begins only when there Is a defi
nite response.
I believe tbat before tho child has
returned a look or a smile the -conditions
.by .which It is surrounded begin
to have their effect. Very soon the
soul is sensitive to tho moral and spir
itual atmosphere in which It Is devel
oped. It, makes a great difference
whether that atmosphere Is one of
hardness or sympathy, truth or false
hood, love or hate, cheerfulness or mel
oncholy. It 'does not follow that an
Impression Is not made because it is
NOT remembered. There are few of
us that can remember anything- that

the reception to' new members held
at the East Side Christian Church on
Wednesday night, when a formal
greeting was extended to the 110 new
members, enrolled with that congre
gation since November 1. 1917. The
happened before wo were S yeans of
age. But there Is a bodily history be
fore that and what our bodies are in
the matter of health today, is in no
small degree the result of these unre
membered conditions. There Is also a
mental and spiritual history before
that threshold and what we are now
In wn Inner selves has been In. some
measure determined by the conditions
under which we lived during those
first years.
Mothers'' Responsibility Great.
Tho second fact is that of all the in
fluences that of the mother is the most
Intimate arrd the most constant. Does
It not seem to you as if nature had
made a special effort to give the moth
er a full chance. In nine cases out of
ten. she has practically a monopoly
of tho early years. She is tho first
wttls the babe at the dawning of the
day.- There Is scarce an houi of the
dsy when he is out of her sight. And
when night comes it Is in her arms
that he falls to sleep. Her face the
last sight before tho eyes are closed.
This 1 know carries with it a great
responsibility. But it does more than
that. It presents a marvelous oppor
tunity. . There, Is nothing like it in all
the world. Not tho - powen of the
statesman, mighty as that la: not the
influence of tho teacher, profound and
far-reaching as tbat is. President
Wilson has great responsibility, but
with great opportunity; Lloyd
George has great -responsibility, and
General Foch has gnest responsibility,
but they also have great opportunity.
But none of these can quite compare
with the chance the mother has In
shaping -the individual character and
through it molding tho destiny of the
entire human race. he is the very
gateway of life. She controls the first
movements of the soul into the new
world. She directs the firfct steps.
She opens and shuts tho various win
dows and doors. She adjusts tho lights
and shadows. She decides what voices
shall be heard. What an opportunity!
How Important then that sho should
be a true woman, wise, patient, unsel
fish. In touch with things Infinite, rev
erent towards God. as Mar of Naza
reth was acquainted, witb Christ, as

was Mary of Bethany. What better
work can anyone do for tho world than
to put around her children, these pil
grims and strangers emigrating from
the unseen to the visible world, tho In
fluence of a sweet and gracious per
sonality. And if sho has a greet responsibility
and with it a great opportunity, sho
has also tho chance of a great reward.
If she haa pain and night watching;
and a multitude of carea and tasks,
she has tbe recompense of a call that
is unique and unmatched.
There has never been, a time when
the motherhood of the world was under
such a strain or burden as it Is now.
There never has been a time when tho
tide of men's love for their mothers
was so broad, so deep, so majestic, as
It is now. Would you build a moun
tain, broad, high, glistering white as
your own Mount Hood? Then take tho
letters that have been borne from men
to their mothers since this war be
gun and pile them up towards the
hesvens. Oh, the dear memories, tho
fond love the deep admiration, the pas
sionate longing wnitten In the lines
and between the lines of those count
less missives. What a tribute! What
a monument!
This is the day when tho call goes
lo the mothers of their land, to use
the heights of their" great opportunity.
It is the day also when the call goes
out to all men and women to be worthy
of all the love, the suffering, and the
toiling of their mothers. There Is a
solemn text, not much quoted now.
"It Is appointed unto men once to
die; and after death Judgment." Tkoro
are two whose favorable verdict ore
might well covet. First, always lirst.
Chnist the Lord. The Te Deum has
one of Its stated phrases thus: "Wo be
lieve that Thou wilt come to be our
Judge." To have that Judge so wise,
so just, so capable of understanding us,
so truly say to us "Well done" Is to
have tasted the bliss of Parsdise. The
second Is the mother. Would It not
be worth the struggle against tempta
tion, tho faithful treading of tho path
of duty, tho enlistment of life on the
side of tho world's betterment, to have
her meet us in the unseen sd say:
"Daughter, son, well done, veil done,"
