THE SUNDAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 21, 1920
SUNDAY SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTE TO RELIEF QF THE NEAR EAST
Cablegrams Tell Workers of Destitution and Suffering Among Refugees Fleeing Before Advance of Turkish Nationalists' Victorious Army.
SUNDAY schools all over the state
are Bending- pledges to near east
relief lor the Christmas offering.
This week Beaverton Congregational
promises 8100; Advent Christian of
Portland, the largest per member
pledge of th'e week, 860. or 82 per
member; Freewater Milton Baptist
sends a check for ISO, part payment
on a $50 pledge; Anabel Presbyterian
is savins three lives, 8180. Dr. George
B. Pratt, the enterprising superin
tendent of the Centenary Methodist
echool has agreed to duplicate the of
fering of the class contributing the
, " ,, ,,, if h hnnrrvl
, ' " ,M. I
little ones. The enthusiasm or tms
chool is well known, and they have
turned the challenge on the superin
tendent in such a lively way that he
says they are giving him '"a run for
his money."
On Thursday many churches will
take offerings for near east relief at
their Thanksgiving services. The lat
est cablegram from the near east
tells of thousands of new refugees
due to the victorious advance of the
.Turkish nationalists. It says In part:
"This wholesale emergency, amount
ing to national tragedy, greatly in
creases the amount of destitution.,
placing heavy burden upon our com
mittee unless we are willing to see
tens of thousands of out former allies
die In exile for lack of food and cloth
ing. Nationalists promise Bafety to
orphans, property and refugees under
the protection of American relief
workers. The fact that such promises
were faithfully kept throughout four
years of war gives confidence that
distinctly humanitarian life-saving
relief work will continue."
A conference on evangelism and the
work of the ministry was held last
week under the auspices of the Ore
gon Baptist state convention and the
American Baptist home mission so
ciety. Starting Tuesday morning,
daily sessions were held, the final
meeting being Saturday night.
Dr. H. F. Stllwell presided over all
sessions, and was assisted by several
prominent Portland pastors.
An important event of the week
was the Multnomah, (oumy ounaay
School association convention, held at
the First Christian chureh. Park and
Columbia streets, last Friday. Ses
sions were held in the morning, aft
ernoon and evening, with a banquet
at the church at 6:15 P. M. Song and
devotional services, music and
speeches were among the features of
the meeting.
Addresses were made by Norman
Johnson, general secretary of th Ore
gon Sunday School association; Wil
lard Rouse of the Y. MCA.; Dr. Har
old L. Bowman, pastor of First Pres
byterian church; Mrs. W. Et Wright,
for five years a member of Billy
Sunday's evangelistic team, and Dr.
E. C. Hickman, associate pastor of
Centenary-Wilbur church. The clos
ing event of the convention was an
'informal reception to Norman. John
son, the new state general secretary,
and Mrs. Johnson.
"One way to celebrate the 300th an
niversary of the landing of the Pil
grims at Plymouth, is to indicate how
the church has outgrown some of the
ideas of those Pilgrims." Thus, Dr.
W. T. McElveen of the First Congre
gational church, began his address to
the Methodist Preachers' meeting at
the First Methodist church on Mon
dav morning. Continuing, he said:
"The pilgrims believed in the five
points of Calvinism. These were,
the. sovereignty of God, the deprav
ity of human nature, the predestina
tion of the elect, the guidance of the
holy spirit, and the perseverance of
the saints. The progressive churches
of today preach only one of those five
articles. The Congregational church,
which is the pilgrim church of today,
believes not in the sovereignty of
God, but In the fatherhood of God;
It believes not in the depravity of hu
man nature, but in the dignity of hu.
man nature; it believes not in the
predestination of the elect, but in the
possibility of all being saved. It does
creach the guidance of the Divine
Spirit, but It Is more startled by the'
perseverance of tne sinner man Dy
the perseverance of the saints."
