cent session, was addressed by Judge
Jacob Knazler. chairman for Port-,
land' Americanization week, and !

m.aking February 19 Americanization
Sunday, with suitable services either
morning or evening.
"The pastors have made up no set
programme for the service," said Dr.
Edward Constant, president of the
association, "but the subject is recog
nized as such a vital one that I am
sure It will find its way into one
or the other of most of the services
throughout the city. At the church
of which I am pastor. Highland Con
gregational, I will endeavor to set
forth the "ideals of Americanism as
proclaimed by Washington, the serv
ice being somewhat in the nature of
the celebration of his birth."
" 'Americanizing Americans' will be
the somewhat ambiguous topic of my
discourse at the evening Iservice," said
Dr. B. Earle Parker, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church.
"In my opinion much o, the Ameri
canization effort up to this time has
been of a patronizing character and
our only thought has been to make
Americans of the foreign-born who
come to our shores, when, as a mat
ter of fact, some native-born per
sons are in great need of being
Americanized; hence my topic." Dr.
Parker will draw upon the lives of
both Washington and Lincoln in
making his points. Special patriotic
music will be given.
"What is Americanization?" will be
one of the four questions considered
at the evening service of the First
Congregational church by the pastor.
Dr. W. T. McElveen.
"It's Great" Is the" topic announced
for an Americanization sermon at
the White Temple thia evening by
the acting pastor, Dr. Arthur Phelps.
Special Interest attaches to the eve
ning service at the Lincoln Method
ist Episcopal church, when an ad
dress on "Americanism" will be given
by Paul Wapton, the Indian orator
Of Willamette university.
At the young people's, meeting and
at tho public evening service of St
Michael and All Angels church,
George Washington will be the theme
upon which to base thoughts on
Americanization and Citizenship."
, "The Greater Citizenship" will be
the subject of Dr. E. E. Flint's dis
- course at the morning: service of
Atkinson Memorial church.
Dr. K..H. Pence, pastor of Westmin
ster Presbyterian church, will de
vote the morning service to Ameri

Not." There will be special, patriotic
