TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 14, 1920
GAIN THE WORLD AND YET SAVE YOUR SOUL, SAYS MINISTER
Paul Profited but Not as the Thief Who Was Forgiven on Cross.
V
Sermon by Tr. W. B. Hlnaon. East . Bide
Baptist Church.
"What ahall it profit a roan if be rain
the whole world and lose his own aoul?'
TT EAR it thus What shall it
t"H profit a man if he pain the j
whole world and save his soul? I
That was no slip of the tongue; j
but it was an intentional alteration j
of the text to correct a very common !
error, and bring to the front an over-
looked truth, namely, that it is pos
sible to save the soul and at the
same time pain the world, even the j
true world that means welfare, peace, j
happiness, serviceableness, and a
harvest of eternal reward. Now if I
can show you that this life has been
lived, and If I can name the people
who thus pained the world and saved
the soul, there is no further argu
ment required; and that is what I
shall now do.
The building that arrests attention
la London is called St Paul's cathe
dral. When Paul lived and preached
nd wrought, he knew nothing about
the metropolis of the British empire;
end it never occurred to him-that the
stateliest church in England's heart
would bear his name. And who among
us today can serve as the understudy
of the Apostle Paul, or who can wear
Ids armor, or who can sound sweet
melody from his great harp? For he
43 honored, and renowned, and more
Influential in America than all the
candidates for the presidency who
are in the field; and if any man rose
up in this presence to belittle the
Apostle Paul, we should hush him
with our contempt. Did he gain the
world? He passed away 1900 years
ego, and yet tonight the hand of
that man rests upon the Christian
world, and the heart of that man
pulsates, through Christendom. . Yet
he saved his souL But we cannot
ie Pauls! That is true. And if my
Reasoning ended now, I have not
proven my point. But let us get
nearer home. The firreate-at man I
ever knew in the Christian, pulpit
was Mr. Spurgeon. at once the des
pair and the hope and pride of every
preacher, for who could equal him;
tout how blessed to stand in company
(with him. Did he gain the world?
I never saw so happy a man in my
life! And he possessed the respect,
admiration, esteem and affection of
his age as no other man known to ;
me. And when that Baptist preacher j
lay a-dying, royalty sent special j
messengers to inquire as to the state
of his health. He saved his soul, and '
toe gained th world. j
But we cannot all be Spurgeons;
THANKSGIVING NEAR; DINNER
SUGGESTIONS NOW IN ORDER
With Summer Ended, and Season of Cheer Begun, Thoughts Turn to
Autumnal Feast Menus and Recipes for Day Suggested.
THE THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Heap high the board- with plenteous cheer
And g-ather to the feast.
And toast that sturdy pilgrim band
Whose courage never ceased.
Give praise to that all-gracious one
By whom their steps were led).
And thanks unto the harvest's Lord
Who sends our daily bread.

(Prepared by household science depart
ment O. A, C. school of home eco
nomica) THANKSGIVING time! When the
harvest is over and the store
house is filled against the winter's
cold and the rainy days. What Is
more natural than an atmosphere of
cheer and good will?
' Autumn time! When summer has
N 6n hues of red and gold, what is
more fitting than to have tne house
made beautiful with autumn colors
"autumn leaves, branches of Oregon
grape or pots of winter plants?
Dinner time! When' the, family
draws close together round the festive
board and the invited guest shares in
the fellowship, what is more appro
priate than a well-laden table and
harmonious decorations for it?
The centerpiece for the Thanksgiv
ing table may be a pumpkin cut into
a basket shape or a squash carved out
ship-shape w'th sails and rigging at
tached, then filled to overflowing
with fruits of all kinds pears,
grapes, apples, oranges. Or the cen
terpiece may be a potted plant or a
bowl of chrysanthemums.
Place cards aid in making an ef
fective decoration when the name of
each person Is written in black nk on
a brilliant hued autumn leaf placed
on the napkin.
The dinner, of course, -is the fea
ture of the occasion and here follow
suggestions for it:

and that also is true. And now with
some reticence I bring the argument
down to the level of anybody here,
and with an amount of diffidence
mingled with confidence I say I
know that is true, for I can prove by
myself that one can gain the world
and save -the souL If there is a man
who gets out of this great world oft
nature that surrounds us, more than
do I. I should like to meet him. If
there is any man whose cup over
flows when thinking of esteem and
sympathy and co-operative help, that
bear up and illumine and irradiate
the pathway of life if that means
graining the world, I have gained it.
For most of my life lies behind me,
and yet whenever I hear a man say,
"Had I to live my life over again I
would live it differently," I thank
God because I would not. I would
be in the same calling. God's calling
to preach; and I would do the things
I have done and say the things I
have said. And I know when some
times I think of what is almost un
thinkable to me, that there might be
no reward the other side the grave.
I have been abundantly compensated
for living the Christian life here and
now. "What shall it profit a man if
he gain the world and save his soul?"
And when I remember that God made
the world, and God made man. I am
unsurprised that it is possible for
man to gain the world and save his
soul at the same time. For I should
expect it to be so. And I urge upon
you young people what it is vain for
me to urge on the men of my own
age, that you start out to gain the
world as well as save your soul. And
if you want at the end of the day to
have your barns filled to bursting
with hopefulness and glad anticipa
tion, then I say, save your soul by
believing in Jesus Christ and living
the Christian life, and so gain all that
is good in the world.
But hear it again, this text: What
shall it profit a man if he lose the
world and save his own soul? Now
we must be careful- For it is great
gain to get the soul sayed. however
it may be saved. If the long arm of
God reaches down and pulls me back
from hell's flame scorohes my soul,
it is a great thing to be saved. But
having said that. I want to add this:
A soul thus saved is saved at awful
loss. Quickly let me prove my point
There hung on a cross of wood when.
Jesus died for me, two men. One was
saved. Now look at that man. How
much of him was saved? His time?
Let him be 45 year old. How much
of his time was saved? None at all.
His influence? Not a bit. His exam
ple? No particle of it. How much of
the dying thief was saved? Hear me.
His soul, and nothing else. Quickly
think about the ApoBtle Paul. How
stuff (recipe below), and truss an
eight-pound turkey. Place on its
side on rack in dripping pan, rub
entire . surf ace with salt, and spreaa
breast, legs and wings with one-third
cup butter, rubbed until creamy and
mixed with one-fourth cup flour. Put
in hot oven and when flour on turkey
begins to brown reduce the heat and
baste every 15 minutes, until turkey
Is cooked, which will require about
three hours. For basting use one
half cup butter melted in one-half cup
boiling water and after this is -used
baste with fat in pan. Pour water
In the pan during cooking as needed
to prevent flour from burning. Dur
ing cooking turn turkey frequently
that it may brown evenly. If turkey is
browning too fast, cover with but
tered paper to prevent burning.
Garnish with parsley and curled
celery.
Oyster Dressing. 2 cups bread.
1 pint oysters.
1 large onion (s cup).
Vs cup melted butter or fat from
turkey.
1 teaspoon sage.
1 teaspoon salt.
m teaspoon pepper.
Crumble bread fine, add hot water
enough to moisten it. Mince one
large onion, add one pint oysters,
melted butter, sage, salt and pepper.
Mix all together, stuff turkey (or
chicken) and sew up. Stuff breast
also, where the crop has been, and
sew up.
Thousand Island Dressing (for
Salad). cup olive oil.
Juice of lemon.
Juice of orange.
1 teaspoon grated onion.
8 teaspoons parsley, chopped fine.
olives sliced.
8 chestnuts, sliced.
4 teaspoon salt.
teaspoon paprika. ,
1 teaspoon Worcester sauce. .
'i teaspoon mustard.
Put the ingredients for the dressing
into a fruit Jar, adjust one or two
rubbers and the cover and shake until
the mixture is smooth and thickened
a little. This is .sufficient for eight
portions. Pour over lettuce washed
and 'dried, or serve lettuce and
dressing separately. The chestnuts
are cooked.
Staffed Onions or Peppers. Boll
onions in salted water until tender
but not broken. Remove centers,
chop them and mix with crumbs, milk,
egg. butter, seasoning. Stuff onion
shells with this and bake. O.nly 45
minutes necessary for baking. - Pep
' pers should have seeds removed and
be parboiled 15 minutes. Add stuff
ing to which may be added any left
over meat chips. Bake 20 minutes
only.
(.lamed Sweet Potatoes (6 medium
sized). Wash and pare. Cook in
boiling salted water until tender.
Drain, cut in halves lengthwise and
put in buttered pan. Make a syrup
by boiling three minutes cup
sugar and four tablespoons water;
add one tablespoon butter. Brush
potatoes with syrup and bake until
brown, basting twice with remaining
syrup.
Fruit cake Cream one pound of
susu and one of butter until light.
much of Paul was saved? His soul
plus his time, talent, influence and
example. The dying thief and 'the
Apostle Paul are almost infinitely
different tonight. Let me allude to
only one differentiation. Dividends
accrued from the. sanctified and serv
iceable life, of Paul on earth are go
ing up to him every passing minute.
But what dividends accrue from the
life of the man saved at the last mo
ment? It is an awful thing, I say, to
save the soul and lose the world. If
you were here last Wednesday night
you heard a man tell of a young fel
low who found Jesus Christ when he
was passing away In tuberculosis.
And his great regret as he died was
that he was going to his God empty
handed! no garnered grain, no plucked
fruit, nothing but a saved soul. Some
times I have to say words that smite,
and I have got to say one now. I
thank God I did not live to be old
and unserviceable before I found
Jesus Christ. . I thank God that I can
go back year after year and year
after year and say they were all
spent in an effort be it successful or
not to glorify his name and build up
his kingdom. Now here is the positive
criminality of a deathbed repentance.
I Uvink one of the meanest utterances
I ever hear is when a man says, "O
well, at the last I will get inside and
be saved. Serve the Hun so long as
you can serve anybody, and then
crowd over into the Allies' camp when
you are no good and the fight is all
a thing of the past!" It is not com
plimentary to you to talk like that.
I say if all a man gets saved is his
soul, it is a good - thing he got his
soul saved; bat it is an appalling
thing that he lost everything else.
What shall it profit a man if he lose
the world and save his soul? Go back
thousands of years to a man I never
think of without cringing. He was
nephew to the friend of God and- the
father of the faithful Abraham. But
be selected Sodom as his abode, and
he went down there and stayed Just
so long as God would let him. And at
last God said, "Lot. you get out of
Sodom or you will be burned up."
And Lot got his soul saved, so I un
derstand , from the New Testament.
But now, look. There he stands Lot,
nephew of Abraham, who might have
been participant in all Abraham's
glory, but he lost his possessions,
every stick was burned up in Sodom;
he lost his sons-in-law, who, married
his daughters, for they laughed at
him when he sought to influence
them, so his influence had gone, too;
and he lost his daughters, for they
were burned up in the flame; and he
lost his wife, who looked back at
Sodom with some longing; and he lost
his two daughters who escaped with
him, for it would have been better if
they had been burned up in Sodom's

EX-KAISER IS PEACEFUL
Second Year of Exile Passed by
William Hohenzollern.
DOORN, ' Holland. Nov. 13 Two
years ago this week William Hohen
zollern arrived at the Dutch frontier,
a refugee emperor. Today he is
leading in this little village the life
of a Dutch country gentlemen, doing
Just about as he pleases and going
almost where he desires, about the
countryside, so long as he stays
within the territorial limits pre
scribed by the Dutch government.
The Associated Press correspondent
has been told by those in close touch
with the. former emperor that during
the past few months William has
found much contentment in the life
on his new estate, here. He is said
to feel certain that no further de
mands for his surrender will'be made
upon the Holland government.

fire than have done what they did.
And there he stands, a man who saved
his soul and lost the world. ' What a
pity! What a tragedy! I cannot for
bear saying this word also. It is not
mine to Judge any man against whom
God has not clearly revealed God's
own attitude, but how that poor
wretch over in Holland sawing wood
can be saved is beyond my compre
hension. That is all I "say about it.
But what has he lost? Edith Cavell. I
saw the name yesterday on a placard.
Edith Cavell.! There is not a decent
German in this house and there are
decent Germans here but Is ashamed
of the word Germany when looking
at the letters Edith Cavell. 'And
while K would seek to put hatred out
of my heart for any "man. even while
hating his misdeeBs, yet I do say if
I had to shake hands with the ex
kaiser of Germany tonight. I would
be careful to. wash my hand after
ward, and I would walk to Oregon
City, tired as I am. to avoid) doing it.
What does it mean? It means, grant
ing that a man does save his soul in a
condition akin to that of Wilhelm the
accursed, he loses the whole world.
And I see some sitting before me who
are moving along that road. O. yon
may be careful and get your soul
saved; but I tell you nothing else will
be saved, my brother. And next to
being damned, to me appears in
solemnity the fact of being saved as
a soul, and everything else lost. God
forgive me; I feel as if I had) almost
as soon be damned as to be saved
that way. Let years go by and op
portunities pass, and great calls
sound, and the Son of God plead, and
the spirit of God implore, and be deaf
and blind to it all. and then sneak in
at heaven at the last! Pray God I may
never do it.
But again. What shall it profit a
man if he gain the world and lose
his soul? Well. God himself could
not answer - that question because
there is no man can gain the world.
When he of Germany said, "I am
going to establish a world empire."
I knew he was doomed, because the
Word of God in the book of Daniel
says, "There will never be a world
empire until Jesus Christ comes." Tou
cannot get the world! I see men
trying to do it, and they are like a
Frenchman who said, "All I vant is
Just a bit of land I have got and
the bit' next it!" Tes, but you can
never get the bit rlext it. and if
you undertake thus to get the world,
you will come to the understanding
that those who get most of it get the
least of it, according to their own
confessions. Who in the world ever
got more than King Solomon? I
sometimes read that book of Ecclesi
astes, and see how he had gardens,
fruits, instruments of music, singers,
palaces, until he says himself he had

everything the mind could imagine
or the heart desire. Did not he gain
the world? And he walks ' up and
down the halls of his palace, and as'
I listen I hear him say what I never
said in my life, "Vanity of vanities,
all . Is vanity under the sun!" And,
little child, If you want to know what
that means, I will translate it Into
your speech. Bubble of bubbles, all
is but bubble under the sun! What
shall it profit a man, if he gain the
world and lose his enjoyment of it;
his appreciation of it; his use of it;
and say. It is all a burst bubble?
What shall it profit a man if he gain
the world, which he never will, but
if he did, if he lose his soul?
I must tell you a little story out
of my life, for it will not remain
untold. I knew a man where I for
merly lived, into whose hands came
great sums of money, and he riotously
lived and dissipated every cent of it.
And I knew him when he had ac
cumulated his third fortune. . He
lived in a good house, he dined well,
he drank infamously, he gambled and
he had everything the devil has got
to give. And one day, for what
reason I have never known, he pulled
up his fine horses and carriage,
and said with a hiccoughing sneer.
"Preacher, do you want a ride?" He
knew in his soul. I would not ride
with him.- I said, "Tes, sir." And,
surprised, he made room for me. And
we went along in silence. And I
waited for him, he being a sort of
host, to entertain his guest. . But
he was ill at ease. After a few re
marks that mattered very little, I
said to him, "I should like to ask ffou
one question, sir." He said, "You may
ask it and I may refuse to answer
it." I said, "That is your right, but
do you grant me the right to ask the
question r He said, "Yes." Then I
said, "I am told you are a wicked
man, and I think I am told the truth
from the little I know of you." He
glared at me, and I did not blame
him, for under similar circumstances
I should have done . the same. And
I said. "They tell me you have gone
through, as the phrase runs, two for
tunes, and that you are now a rich
man." He said, "That is so." "And
they tell me you have wasted all this
money and these years of your life,
but that you have ggt out of the
devil about all the devil has got to
give you." And he nodded his assent.
Then I said, "Here is my question,
sir: What has it brought you in sat
isfaction, in happiness, and in good?"
I can see the man yet as he wheeled
right over to his side of the seat, and
I did not know whether I was to get
the whip-stock or not; but I can hear
him yet as he hissed out this sen
tence, after which I believe I sat still
for five minutes. Now remember.
J. C. Schorl, whose subject will be
"The Life of Man on the Higher
Plane," assisted by Rev. Ida M. Schorl,
pastor,, with demonstrations of a gift.
The Universal Messian'c Message
will meet today at 11 A. M. and 8
P, M. in room 318 Abington building.

o'clock.
Pasco Congregationalists to
.... Dedicate New Home.
Rev. Leonard Carver of Spokane
Secured Pastor.
PASCO, Wash., Nov, 13. (Special.)
Congregationalists of this city
will dedicate on Sunday, November 21,
theit new church home, which is Hear
ing the completed stage at the corner
of Fourth and Lewis streets, but two
blocks from the heart of the business
district of the city. It is expected
that Dr. S. B. L. Penrose of Whitman
college and Dr. L. O. Baird, superin
tendent of Washington Congrega
tional churches, will be present to as
sist in the dedicatory ceremonies.
The dedication exercises will be free
from any solicitation for funds for
the building, which have been raised
from subscriptions from the members
and friends of the church, with as
sistance from the state and national
building societies of the church. It
is expected the building will be paid
for before it is dedicated.
The new building has a large main
auditorium and two smaller rooms
on the main floor, with a full base
ment underneath, giving adequate
room for the large and growing Sun
day school as well as for all the other
church activities.
The church has Just secured the
services as pastor of Rev. Leonard
Garver of Spokane, to take the place
of Rev. U. S. Tabor, who was com
pelled to resign on account of falling
health, and the members believe that
in him they have secured a leader
under whom the church will continue
to grow and prosper. Financially the
church is in good condition. The
church owns it own parsonage, a good
two-story building. From . a small
beginning about 12 years ago the
church has already outgrown two
buildings, but It Is believed the new
edifice will afford adequate facilities
for a number of years.

as Pastor at Albany.
Prominent Ministers of Western
Oregon Participate In Impres

ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 13. (Spe-IaL)
Dr. D. V. Poling was formally
Installed as pastor of tho First Presby
terian church of Albany in an im
pressive service in the church last
Sunday evening in which prominent
ministers from various parts of west
ern Oregon participated. Through
the services one of Oregon's ablest
and most popular ministers was in
stalled as pastor of one of the largest
churches of the Willamette valley.
Dr. Wallace Howe Lee, dean of Al

world.- Now the book Is opened. Does
it profit you anything? Then swing
out. until as many ages have passed
as there are stars in that sky. and
still you are lost, wrecked, ruined.
Where is your profit? Let the moun
tains pass, and the stars disappear,
and millions of generations slip by,'
and still you are where? Lost, ruined,
undone! Swing out yet, until as many
millenniums periods of a thousand
years have gone by as there are
sand grains on all the beaches of the
world, and still you are lost, and
ruined, and wrecked, and undone.
Where is the profit? And if you can
swing out yet to a wider circle- in
your thought, think of when as many
millenniums have gone by as there
ever fell faded leaves in all the au
tumns since God made a tree, and you
are still where? Lost, ruined. . and
undone. Where is the profit? I could
wish and yet I would hardly wish
that this sermon might affect you the
way it has affected me. For I have
come to know some of you. and you
have no idea how much you reveal
to a man as you listen to his speech,
and I am persuaded that tonight I
am talking to men who are losing
the world while they are trying to get
their souls saved. It is the club, or
the lodge,' or the social companion
ship, rather than the church of God.
And if you were as regular in the
prayer meetings of your church as
you are in the meetings of your lodge,
you know It would be better for you.
And are you not ashamed tonight to
be saved by a Christ whose com
mandments you eo continuously dis
regard, and upon whose name you are
bringing such abominable reproach?
Let me be plainer yet. I am talking
in the hearing of men tonight whose
lives are an argument on the lips of
the men of the world against Jesus
Christ. You may be saved at the
last- I do not know anything about
that; but my God what a salvation it
will be; and) what you lose; and O
the bitterness that must accompany
you up to the gate of heaven; and
how you can escape it inside I have
never been able to find out. And it
looks to "me as though you are sow
ing for a harvest of everlasting re
gret. And some of you are gaining what
you think is the world, and you are
losing your soul. O yes. you have
got a bigger business, and an in
creased salary, and a better house,
and the accretions that gather about
property. But my brother, if you
could se eyoureelf as you know your
God sees you tonight, what would
your margin of profit be?
And some of you are in danger of
the double loss losing the real world
and losing your soul. What does
it bring you, all this that is of evil?
Seeley of Portland delivered the
charge to the people. . The installa
tion prayer was offered by Dr. Oscar
T. Morgan of Albany college.
Dr.- Poing began serving as tem
porary pastor of the First Presbyte
rian church here several months ago
while he was yet in charge of Young
Men's Christian Association work at
the Oregon Agricultural college at
Corvallis. A few months ago he was
offered and accepted the permanent
pastorate of the church.
Dr. Poling is prominent and popu
lar in Albany, not only through his
successful work as a minister, but

he is known throughout the state as

directing the new band organized by
the Albany chamber of commerce. In
other civic activities, he is prominent.

HOME GARDEN ESSENTIAL
Food Production in Industrial Dis
tricts to Be Urged.
BOSTON. Industrial homes and
gardens are to be one of the major
elements of the many factors that
make for success in future manu
facturing, in the opinion of the special
committee which submitted a report
today to the associated industries of i
Massachusetts at its annual meeting.
"A hundred years ago the great
What does It bring you? You have
got the money that you had no right
to, but it burns your palms, and I
pray God it may not barn your soul
in hell forever. I have lived here
over ten years, and I know men in
this city who have got money, and
the way they have got it is going to
make it desperately hard for them to
ever make restitution, for they have
gotten it from widows and orphans,
some of whom have since passed
away, and I would sooner die in a
ditch and be burled in a pine box,
than have the money those men have
got in the way they obtained it. Be
warned by them, for you are follow
ing after them, and they are your
pattern. Be careful. God help you
to set a better valuation on yourself.
I am brutally frank, and I admit it;
but I tell you these, are days when
the whole drift and current are away
from the gospel, and somebody baa
got to stand and In God's name cry
out the truth, and not go pettyfog
ging about who will be the next
president of the United States, when
men are dropping into hell fire; and
not be talking about peace treaties
.when there is no peace, saith my God,
to the wicked. The next man you .
have may not speak to you so plainly;
but I hope I am telling you the truth
when I say the next man will not
work for your salvation more as
siduously. For when you go out to- .
night may you not know I got this
truth from God: for I did not orig
inate it; but I went to God and
said. "Give me a message," and he
gave it. And I know some of you
are going out tonight to 6ay, "I am
through with hazarding my soul for
anything, or for everything, and I
am going to toe the mark and be a
Christian in deed and fact, as well
as in thory and profession." And some '
of you younger men are going to
say, "I was on that road, and I do
not propose treading It any farther."
And we are all going out, I believe, '
to hear God's great question thunder
ing and reverberating through the
very soul, "Where is your profit if
you displease me, if you fail me, and
if at last you are without me?" Man.
do not push it away, and do not kill
the serious thought, or the stirred
emotion, but Qherlsh any good Im- '
pulse God has created in your mind
and soul tonight, and decide as you
will wish you had decided when upon
your brow is cold sweat; and when
the shuddering Judgment opens; and
when eternity has progressed beyond
our imagination, and still more be
yond our calculation. Choose well,
for upon this winged hour eternity
may be hung; and It may be that
God's all-seeing eye beholds your en
tire destiny affected by what you are
now resolving to do.
bulk of Massachusetts citizens were'
home and land owners," said the re
port, "but today less than 5 per cent
of the Industrial workers of the state
own their own homes. History shows
no race of people who have owned
land they cultivated who became rev
olutionists. Russia, France and Mex
ico all blew up because the people
could not get land."
The report presented figures of the
cost of labor overturn In certain large
industrial plants and pointed out that
homes and gardens would automatic
ally4 reduce this cost. It suggested
that a worker before he invested his
savlnks in a house should be made to
feel reasonably sure of regular em
ployment and relieved of the fear of
arbitrary discharge.
