: . .
A table 24 miles long would be
Acquired to seat the children fed
Jiaily by the near east relief. Thou
sands of these children were saved
Jrom a terrible death by exposure and
starvation because the Sunday schools
lf -Oregon made generous offerings
Jast Christmas.
Long as it is. the table must be
Jehgthened immediately, as children
coming out of hiding have already
increased the number from 90.000 to
410.000. Dr. Packard of Seattle, just
iroin the near east, estimates the
Jtotal number at 250,000.
"f Edward V. Perry, who left the
jTucasus March S, 15J0, said that
-during the winter of 1919-1920 four
out of five children applying for help
-were turned away to almost certain
death and that only the most ener
getic measures will prevent a repeti
tion of these horrors during this win
der. While this need, unparalleled In
the history of the world, continues
J. Mnow that you, your teachers and
pupils will not be satisfied to do less
"than your best to send a worthy
Christmas offering on the date set
Ay" your denominational board at or
"near the Christmas season," J. J.
ilandsaker has written the superin
tendents of Oregon Sunday schools.
- "A definite programme of life-sav-4ng,
as indicated on the enclosed card,
"rather than a "collection,' will largely
-increase your offering.
."An effective but easily prepared
-programme, pledge slips and collec
tion envelopes (simples of which are
bejng mailed you) will be furnished
-free in necessary quantities."

'Direction and Destiny,"
Pastor's Topic.
Rev. Joshua Staasffrld to Tell of
v Lifea Complexity.
trIRECTION AND DESTINY" will
U be the sermon subject at the
First Methodist church on Sunday
morning and Dr. Stansfleld will eeek
to show that character and destiny
are not determined by any one act or
fact but rather by the attitude and
trend of the life. By unthinking per
sons it is often assumed that in the
actualities of conduct one meets only
right and wrong and a choice deter
mines character; but really, life and
conduct are far more complex and
difficult. In nearly every issue of
conduct, it is not a simple question of
"right" and "wrong," but rather of'
"what under the circumstances is
right and best." If we always clearly
know what was really best, we could
readily decide and usually would de
cide aright. The text for this sermon
will be Genesis xiii:12 "And Lot
pitched his tent toward Sodom." Di
rection mostly determines destiny.
Beginning next Sunday night Dr.
Stansfield will give Sunday night ser
mons on Job. The following are the
dates and the subjects: October 31,
"The Conflict of Life"; November 7,
"The Mystery of Suffering," and No
vember 14, "The Only Source of
Light." In dealing with this oldest
and greatest of the world's epic po
ems. Dr. Stansfield hopes to give a
philosophy which will practically and
helpfully touch some of the vexed
problems of human life, and present
some working principles which will
make men victors. There will be spe
cial music each night.
The Rev. W. J. Herwig of the Anti
Saloon league of the state of Oregon
will address the "Hustlers Men's
Class" of the Rose City Park Metho
dist Episcopal church at the regular
S'unday school hour. 9:45. In view of
present conditions, both state and na
tional, this address will possess very
unusual interest. Strangers will be
cordially welcomed.

bor. In every community there are

SEOUL, Corea, Sept. 7. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
A secret fraternity composed ex
clusively of Corean Christians, has
been disbanded and the majority of
its members have been arrested, ac-
district and seventeen village branch
societies. It is alleged that the so
ciety owed its origin to Pak Seungm
yong, a Christian of local fame who
held repeated conferences with two
Corean teachers of the higher com
mon school of the Northern Metho
dist church, dormitories of various
uiiasiuii scnoois outside the west gate
of Pyongyang being used for the
meetings.
The communique says that the Co
reans decided to form a secret so
ciety to aid the self-styled provisional
suvurnueni at Shanghai and that
later, taking advantage of a general
Presbyterian conference at a mission
school, officers were elected and that
some 300 copies of a manifesto were
printed on a mimeograph belonging
to the Pyongyang higher common
school of the Northern Mnthodist
church and were mailed to leading
churches in south Pyongyang prov
ince through which they disseminat
ed among the people. It was ar
ranged, the police charge, to hold a
demonstration "to give solace to agi
tators in custody and to incite the
people." It ist furthermore stated
that the president and eight members
of his staff were arrested in Decem
ber, but that Director Pak ran awa v
to Shanghai and published 3500 copies
a iiiuni.ii or me -reat corea People s
Journal," of which 3000 copies were
sent to Corea while the rest were dis
tributed among Coreans in the United
States, China and Russia. The state
ment concludes: "Each number of the
journal was full of calumnies against
the Japanese regime. in the peninsula
and venomous articles aimed at the
Inspiration of the most extreme anti
Japanese sentiment among the Co
reans, and the spread of the inde
pendence movement.
"During the month of June 86 mem
bees of the district and village
branches were arrested, leading to
the recent apprehension of Director
Pak."
