Dr. McElveen of the First Congre gational church, was speaker at the commencement exercises at Forest Grove on Wednesday afternoon. He spoke to the graduates of Pacific uni versify on the topic " Serving One's Own Generation. "Christ s conception of life was one ofservice. He said that he was great est who served the most. To be t Christian is to serve one s own gen eration by the will of Cod. To be Christian is to be a divine incarna tion of self-giving redemption among the needy. To be a Christian is to be a . fountain of beneficent effect. Life trot puddle; it is a flowing stream. No e has a right to fulfill a stagnant selfish career. The world is not a pi ground or a dormitory; it is a work shop. s No young man or woman should live in the 20th century without making his or her influence for good to be felt somewhere. Never was there time when so many interests were -calling for help and when intelligent service .could be so effective. This present age is the best chance God has ever given for the living of the Christian lif This world is to be come the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. Our task is to construct as . much terrestrial heaven as possible out of the materials at hand.. The heaven of by-and-by is glorious, but it is too far away. We are to labor to make it a present reality. Every step in the history of an ameliorated civilization costs and you and I must pay the price. The light is at the expense of the candle. The grape cluster must be crushed if we are to have wine. The forest must be cut down and hewn if we are to have fuel and furniture. We must lose our lives in service if we would really find them. If we have any power and -sit still and let things go from good to bad and from bad to worse and from worse to the devil without utter . ing a word of protest or flinging our selves into any endeavor for the .'world's betterment and for man's re demption, we are a traitor to God land to man. No earnest Boul is ever .iustfied. even in this luxurious age -iir' thinking of the cross as mere " rhetoric, or as standing for the simple ".troubles that are incident to the rou tine of life. The cross means some real form of toilsome service. The monUily meeting- of the Fort- land Presbytery was held at Orenco, Or., Tuesday in the Presbyterian church, of which Rev. Harry K. Gelvin is pastor. There were about 30 of the members present with some visitors. Reports of current activities of the denomination were received with stimulating interest and earnest dis cussion.

The ladies of the local churcji served a delightful luncheon at noon and again in the evening to which all present did ample justice ending up in a pleasant hint that they should be invited to return at no distant day.

IRWIN, the New Era secretary of the Presbyterian church for the states of Oregon. Washington and Idaho, has returned from the east, where he attended a New Era conference in New Tork City and the-meetLng of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in Philadelphia. He reports. that the spirit of unity and harmony was very evident throughout the whole meeting of the assembly and that the election of Rev. S. S. Palmer, E. D.. of Columbus. O.. as moderator with a unanimous election and by acclamation, was a true demonstration of this spirit The woman's 'hoard of foreign mis- muiio ccieoratea its )uDUee anniver sary and reported large progress in their fourfold objective. namely: Gifts of prayer, service, gold and life. One of the thrilling moments of the general assembly was the recep tion on the part of Dr. W. H. Rob erts, the venerable stated clerk of the general assembly, of the ministers of the Welsh Presbyterian church. This denomination had just' closed it's meeting of the general assembly and voted to unite as a body with the Presbyterlap church. Dr. Roberts, whose father had preached for over 60 years in the Welsh church, greeted these brethren in their native tongue and then called upon the Presbyterian church to incorporate their devout Christian spirit of worship and evan gelism. The church took further steps looking toward organic union with the other branches of the re formed faith. The New Era committee heartened the assembly by its report of the church in the large number of its ac cessions during the previous year, during which the denomination had made a very prominent net train in its membership. It also revealed the fact that during the past year the toiai receipts of the boards and agen ui me cnurcn naa increased more than during the ten preceding years. The general assembly passed very cordial resolutions concerning the New Era movement, authorized the appointment of a new committee of 25 and entrusted to it an enlarged k"cj uu programme ior the coming year. hie niiercnurcn world movement came before the general assembly through a report of the executive commission by the former moderator iev. John Willis Baer of Pasadena. -in eider ot the Presbyterian church. oo.,,,cd opeers, wno is the chair man or tne lnterchurch executive committee, made a very satisfactory statement concerning the policies and the accomplishments of the move ment, secretary Robert E. Spe'er of rne.ioreign body gave an address "men ne emphasized the four ele- mems in "tne lnterchurch which the i-resDyterian church could not pos- siuiy oecorae responsible for destroy ing: First, co-operative action; sec ond, common publicity and nrnna ganaa; third, a clearing house for the denominational movements, and fourth, the surveys at home and abroad. He also gave positive rea sons wny tne cnurcn should continue i us vital relationship with the inter church world movement. Later the general assembly adopted resolutions which had a two-fold expression: first The Presbyterian church was to decline to incdr further financial obligation as now organized and con trolled, and to terminate its relation ship with said movement and with draw any representative it may have therein and that the executive com mission was to take immediate steps to provide for the payment of such s'hare of the obligations for the inter church world movement as might legitimately rest upon the Presby terian church. Second "Realizing the deep and wide-spread feeling in the church that some definite agency of a co operative character should be in actual and efficient operation," the general assembly voted to pay to the support of the interchurch world movement for this year 1100,000 after the movement had been reorganized to the satisfaction of the executive commission and provided the pro gramme and policy of the movement should be so restated as to necessitate a maximum expenditure of $1,000,000 for the year and that when the move ment was so reorganized the Presby terian church would be officially ren- jresentea on its executive committee. a nere was a very decided V7V i ;5WSiSi Dr. Boyd to Occupy Former Pulpit This Morning.
