"We are all that we may become
and all that we may grow into, and
all of time is not sufficient for us to
reach the fullest possible growth."
taid Dr. Mi'Elveen in his opening. His
talk was directed to the group of'
seniors before him and he exhorted
thcin to construct as much of the
celestial firmament here on the ter

come junior partners of God in Chris
tianizing every, profession including
the ministry.
"We must always strive for self
development." continued the speaker,
"and it is not possible for us ever
to get to the end of the growth. We
may make a composite character of
out; ten greatest men today and still
fail to obtain a vision of what life
may become. Christ was a producer,
for we do not worship a lazy Clod.
Doubly important with growing up is
the fact that we must be producers."

attractive features. The three En

Cross Means Toilsome Service.
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. In addition to the routine work of
the meting Rev. Major Gilbert of As
toria gave a fine report from the
general assembly to which he was a
commissioner from the Presbytery.
Deep and earnest discussion was
precipitated by Mr. L. E. Carter, a.
member of First church, Portland, on
the subject of enlisting recruits for
the ministery.
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.
The programme of the day was con
cluded with a public meeting In the
evening which was addressed by Rev.
John H. Boyd of McCormic seminary,
Chicago, greatly delighting a splen
did audience of Orenco people.
Ven. H. D. Chambers, archdeacon of
the Episcopal diocese of Oregon, was

years ago. Bishop Gillespie conducted
the ceremony on St. Barnabas' day,
June 11. 1895, at St. Mark's pro

Delegates Are Back.
REV. WALTER M. 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.

through a report of the executive
commission by the former moderator
iev. John Willis Baer of Pasadena.

statement concerning the policies and

mems in "tne lnterchurch which the
i-resDyterian church could not pos-
siuiy oecorae responsible for destroy
ing: First, co-operative action; sec

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.
