IXa ANGELES, Cal, July IS. SpeclajL) One of the most impor tant biennial meetings of the Congre gational National council came to a close here this week with the elec tion of Spring-field, Man,, for the next convention; Dr. C. E. Burton of New York city as permanent ecr tarv of the council and Rev. A 6ul'lena of Portland, superintendent of Congregational churches of Oregon and trustee of Pacific univecslty, as one of the directors of the Congrega tional Foundation for Education. Dr. W. T. MoElveen of Portland, pastor of the s'irst Congregational church there, invited the national counoil to Portland for its 1925 biennial session. This invitation will be acted upon at the Springfield meeting, and it ap pears that Portland wiill secure that meeting. Among other things which were fected upon, one of the moat impor tant was the modification of the form of the Foundation for Educa tion, -which was carried by a large majority. Instead of an endowment fundi of $10,000,000 to be completed toy December, 1926, the form as adopted reads, "An adequate endow ment." The resolution did not state the amount of the foundation or the date of completion. This matter doubtless will reach its final decision at the Springfield meeting. The matter of education took up the larger part of the time of the council at this year's session. On Friday evening President II. C. King of Obcrlin. the retiring -moderator, opened up the whole question of an advanced programme for education. Mr. King was chairman of a com mittee on a national education policy for the denomination. In his address he covered five aspects as follows: First, spiritual awakening in the home: second, the child in the church school; third, religious education in at.-vte schools; fourth, adequate train ing for ministers; fifth, the private college and academy. ' The speaker declared that the great war demon strated the complete failure of the churches in the field of religious edu cation. He declared further that the academies were diminishing rapidly In their sphere of influence, due to the growth, of strong hlgh schools. Ho said the ch-urch should concen trate on the theological schools and colleges of high rank. "In 1918,"' he said, "there were more students In private colleges than In the state schools, but the per capita cost was about half that in the state schools. "The private colleges, or at least many of them, are in a. critical con dition today, and all of them need larger resources." said Mr. King. "We must maintain colleges of out standing character and real Christian Influence, exhibiting a spirit of co operation with tax -supported institu tions. Other denominations have adopted this programme and we must not fall behind." "The world has been torn to pieces the last six years, politically, indus trially and morally." said Dean Charles R. Brown of Yale university. In his address before the council on The Challenge of the Minis-try for the Coming Age." -The world will have to be rebuilt by our generation. It must be a better world and ade quately trained leaders in all com munities are necessary. It is the big challenge of today. "The -better type of industrial life needs more democratic spirit in con trol; moro equitable distribution of good things of life. It Adam had worked every day for 6000 years at J100 a day he wtruld have received a tota.1 equal to the fortune amassed bv Cornelius Vanderbilt. If, I were a betting man I would put my money on Adam. . . . "The minister of today must be properly trained; he must know his tory, economies, psychology, etc He muirt have vision and insight. "We must develop a finer quality of na tional soul." Dr. W. E. Barton of Oak Park, 111, was elected moderator; Dr. R. H. Pot ter of Hartford, Conn, first assistant moderator: Rev. E. U. Harris. Louis ville. Ky, second assistant moderator, representing colored churches.

Cline, pioneer Metho dist Episcopal minister, is in cluded i-0- an appreciation from a com mute of the Methodist Preachers' association, consisting of Ir. Joshua Stansfield, Dr. C. O. McCul-loch. and Dr. John Parsons. It -was read last Wednesday, at Dr. Cline'-s funeral. It follows: By -direction of the Method4st preachers' meeting of Portland, this appreciation la offered. Conld he committee take coun sel of their heart alone they would tladly peak at length. but what they offer must be fittingly brief. No one with brain active as that of our departed friend having his courage of spirit urging him forward with hi limit less Initiative, and with his wide range of activities in the stirring tim;s in which he lived, in which great things were done, could live 77 years, and have more than the most cursory notice of his deeds out lined in our allotment of time. Ir. Cline was a man of sterling worth, a clear, vigorous thinker, exploring not a few Interesting fields of knowledge, equipping himself with much and accurate information on many subjects and pre senting as he did a wide variety of dis cussions In the pulpit, on the platform, and through the press, could not have his life-story told in a few paragraphs. He was a patriot, practical, intense and of seal undiminished till his sun went down. His patriotism he demonstrated on the march, in camp, and on the battlefield in the great civil war and d urine the 66 years ef activity in the Grand Army cf the Republic which followed, keeping the home fires burning by his spirited leader ship in all measures that would in any way conserve or enhance the interests of the country he gallantly fought to save. And It la not too much to say of him 1l feeid a brief for every good caiue, , ;VX: . s ft i terian church, Salem, Or., last Mon day evening.

The Sunday school has a, good start on Its highway trip from San Fran cisco to New York by automobile and much interest is being taken In this contest which will result In some thing worth while for the winning class. Classes for all ages. Rev. R. H. Reed wITl address the Realization league at 11 A. M. -at 148 Thirteenth etre-et on "The Pattern, on the Mount." to the very rim of his range of vision, for his community, commonwealth, his country and the world. He was truly a knight errant. No one at alt acquainted with him ever looked for, him to complain, in an encounter, of the shortness of his sword when ho knew he had at hand the never-failing, sovereign remedy of adding a step to enable him to make that sword effectively reach the enemy. Though an intense American, our breth ren of the. meeting will bear witness to the many times he has spoken with most kindly concern of the foreign peoples with whom we were called to fraternize in our meetings. Nor had he an offensive color line in his makeup or running through his conduct. Whiteness of soul was the token of his fraternal spirit. Again and again have we heard him insist on the square deal for the black sheep of the Good Shepherd. He was an intense man, never so nebulous or diffuse in spirit as to make it difficult to locate him. Tet in his sympathies was he broad and brotherly and held ever a warm interest for human welfare wide as the race of. mankind. In religion he was emphatically "a soldier of the cross." For him "the good fight of faith" -was very real. And, wrestling with principalities and powers," the full use of "the whole ariaor of God" only uoui round out his Ideal of "a good soldier of Jesus Christ." If he understood his Lord to say, "Every plant, which my Heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up," he felt certain his Lord would ex pect him to lend him his good right hand to help root up the noxious growths that vexed the earth. Slavery black or white, alcohol, ignorance, social vice, sedition, bolsoevlsm, or fthat not, he must lenu God his hand to help out of a rooting place in the earth any one of them, and all of their kind. Wherever there was a real menace to human well-being people felt a good deal saf.er when this militant friend of mankind was near byin the com munity. And he was the very same mailed knight in Illinois, Minnesota. Iowa, Ore gon, or wherever he was. But permit us to speak word f Uft -1 Is I v .--s: Sacred Concert Arranged for Evening Services.

At the evening service ot Cen-tenary-Wilb-urg church Ben Scovell, nephew of Sir Henry Irving and son of the late Very Rev. Frank Scovell, great tenderness of his heart" Those who reatly knew Dr. Cline, who were well ad vised as to the sou that was In him, knew his heart glowed like a furnace on a wintry day. The last annual banquet of our preachers' meeting he melted all hearts in speaking of the passing of his little boy during a visitation of diphtheria many years ago while he was pastor in Salem. And at the last meeting of our as sociation held the year that just closed he read a paper on "The Work of the Christian Minister a real classic that was very full of tenderness. How little we dreamed it was his swan song to us! Some might have found difficulty In rightly appraising our dear friend and brother. But that God who knows our frame, who remembers that we are dust, appraised him at his true worth. He said to him, doubtless, with extreordin-ary emphasis, who knows ? whea the automobile ran him down, "When thou passes t through the waters, I will be wUh thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, that shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." . That seemed to be the real meaning of that permissive providence when it Is said, "His . . - . angsls .... shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." Heaven seemed as if whispering to him, "Set thine house in order there is need of thee here!" To us who knew him so well his step seemed a bit slower after the accident to him a few months ago. His face seemed a bit paler. And now as we look backward how truly wonderful seems the mellowing of the sunset glow! But he was in full panoply when the calling voice came on Monday last. His proto type valiant-f or-the-truth, in the immor tal story, Beemi to speak for -him of his going out. "He-said, I am going to my Father's; and though -with great difficulty I have gotten thither, yet now do I not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage; and my courage and skill to him that can get it. M v marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that I have fought his battles who now will be rewarder. When the day tnat ne must, go nence was come, many ac companied him to the riverside, into which, as he went, he said. 'Death, where is thv sting ? And as he went down deeper he said, 'Grave, where is thy victory T So he passed over and all the trusnpets sounded for him on the other side." Andfthus the Portland Methodist preach ers' meeting, by thetr committee, lays this little cluster of blossoms in appreciation above a marching pilgrim who has earned uis rest. dean of Salisbury, England, will giva his eermon-lecture, "The Greater Love." Durins the sreat "war Mr. Scovell used his talents entertaining and cheering the soldiers and sailors of the allies. He received the title. The Good Samaritan of the Military Hospitals." . ' At Woodlawn Methodist church the mornins subject will be "The Inter mediate State." Ves?per eervlce at Peninsula park at 4:30 o'clock. Union service of church and Epworth league at 8 P.

Herbert Biandora will lead the Epworth league service at Clin ton Kelly -on the subject, "Judging Unkindly." Community Church of Hood River Now Established. Blerrer of Five Denominations Knjoys Rapid Expansion. HOOD RIVER, Or.. July 16. (Special.) The continued growth of the Riverside Community church here, after a trial of 18 months, Indicates that It is permanently established. The Interest of the congregation, uniting members rep resenting five former denominations, and the expression of general oom munity.pride in the church indicate its continued growth. The new church draws not only from the city, but from various parts of the valley. It has become the gen eral impression, gained perhaps from complaints of pastors, that because o'f the allurement of motoring church pews- are often emptied during the summer months. Such is not the case in Hood River. Sunday services of summer months draw just as large crowds as those of other seasons. Lines of automobiles parked up and down State street for blocks on either side, however, indicate that most of the worshippers travel by motor car. That the loc.1 experiment is viewed with keen interest in other paries of the northwest Is evidenced plainly by the urgent weekly appeals to the pastor. Rev. W. H. Boddy, to reveal his plans of organization. He is un able to fill dates for addresses on the community-church idea. Mr. Boddy, formerly a member of the faculty of Reed college in Port land, was pastor of a community church at Parkdale. He is an or dained Presbyterian minister and moderator of the eastern Oregon presbytery. He has long been an ex ponent of the community church for rural communities. His personality and his earnest efforts in his cause have played a substantial part in the success of the local church. The Riverside Community church occupies a stone structure erected by the Congregational church. Two years ago a discussion by various lay men resulted in the reorganization of the church body and the formation of the independent church. It was re vealed at the time that there were many folk . of Christian faith who were eager to be united in church service but who were not willing to subscribe to the creed or traditions of any particular denomination. An outstanding feature of the inde pendent organisation is that the pas tor may "be chosen without regard for denominational affiliation. The benevolences of the church are ap plied where the greatest need is found, unless the gifts are made for some particular work. Members are received as confessing: "The spiritual leadership of Jesus Christ and of be ing in fellowship with his purposes in the world." From it. inception the'new idea in churchmanship has been popular in Hood River. The actual membership has about' doubled in the year and a half. ' The Sunday school has out grown the church and the trustees contemplate n enlargement of their quarters. The new church emphasizes com munity service.

The Sunday Evening club, made a feature of Sun day night meetings during the winter months, has made a community-wide appeal. The activity of the club is dircfed bv the laymen of the "church.

The church building is headquarters for four troops of Boy Scouts, numbering about 200 mem bers. The young business and pro fessional women of the church have an organization called the "Tri Cs." They have a beautifully furnished room in the church building. The independent church has not de creased the number of churches al ready here, although it has absorbed the members of two that were not in operation. Speaking on this matter, Mr. Boddy said: "We came not to destroy, but to fulfill. We have built up a large con gregation of men and women who felt the need of a church such as ours, but at the same time we have, I be lieve, stimulated the work -of every other church in the city. The rela tions between Riverside church and other churches of Hood River are most cordial. Rev. H. H. Griff is to Deal -With Atheism.

Mrs. Irene "Castle Tremain. the famous actress and dancer, has an article discussing animal acts in the April issue of Open Door, in which she vigoiously attacks the trained animals on the stage. Mrs. Tremain says that she has always abhorred these performances ever since she was a little girl. She writes that while Phe and her late husband. Cap tain Vernon Castle, were on the vaudeville stage they had ample op portunity to see the sufferings of animal actors In their journeys from city to city. , Continuing, she says: "Twice a day I would stand in the wings and watch my dumb friends go hopelessly through their tricks only to receive a cut or a curse at the fall of the cur tain. Their misery seemed to fas cinate me, and try as 1 might, I could not leave the theater after my own work was completed.. Each day I hoped I .night save one who failed to do his part well a beating." Another thing pointed out by Mrs. Tremain is that no theaters have suitable quarters for animals, and that they are kept under the stage, where it is dark and damp, the only light being that furnished by electric bulbs. According to Mrs. Tremain, most monkeys apparently enjoy acting. They take pleasuxe in the applause they receive, but if beaten they never born. Mrs. Tremain aso thinks that in rare cases dogs enjoy performing on the stage. Mrs. Tremain says that most of the owners of large animal acts do not train their own animals, but buy them from a training school in the middle west.. She declares that "the men I saw living on the efforts of poorly cared for dumb beasts were smug, fat amd heartless men who chose this way as the easiest meaas ot making a living."
