While Uie game Itself wa a comparatively good exhibition the dit agreeabb. ttate of the weather made it very bad for both tpeclatore and play er, and thl reaon caue a eeation of the game about lis minute before the time waa up, with the ball in At toria ' poCMlon on Portland' 15-yard line. There wa a good crowd conid-i ering the inclement condition of the weather, and the many excellent play mole both by the local and the vii tor were clu-ered with a vigor by the impartial onlooker. ' The game wa called at a quarter to three. A-toria kicked oft to the vlI tom, who after a few iiHTectual at tempt to make yardage, lout the ball. MHin a the home tram got poe- im of the tpheroid they began a teady maich down the wet and tlip- cry field and In five minute of play oihret-drd in puxhing the ball over for the firt touchdown of the game. No goal wa kicked, aa the wind which wa blowing nearly thirty mile an hour deflected the ball from between the po-tn. Portland kicked off to Attoria, who, after carrying the ball for a thort dt-t-am-e, fcmt it I)eperate playing at thl time by the men from the metropolis brought the ball to Atoria'a five-yard line. Here the home team took a re markable brace and ecured the ball on down. In turn they falb-d to make yardage, and Portland again got po eMon of the coveted pigkin within (Ue yard of the goal. Three attempt Anally took the ball over the t chalk line, and regitered five point for Portland, which tied the tcore.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN. NARROW ESCAPE. Neighbors Intervene to Save the See- feldt Home. ' The cy home of A. .T. Seefcldt at 107(1 Ilnriivm avcntic. at the corner of Thirty-fifth otrcct, came within an ace nf going up in Kinoke at 3:45 o'clock on SiiikImv at'ternoon lat-U One of the children struck ji match lumtair in bi mother' bed room, for oina puiMc, and the flumes caught a lai-e curtain at the window, and in a few moment the window diapciie and the wallpaper were in a fair way to wreck Uie place by fire. The neighbors aw the predicament, and knowing the family wa away for the time being, ruhcd in and by quick tine of bucket nd the kitchen water faucet managed to subdue the flame before any grater loot than that of a bureau and a good carpet had been added to the curtains. A fire alarm was tent in and "No. 3" got there in good season and a hose waa quickly adjured to the moit available hydrant, but the water, on iw service presKure at the work, bare ly rolled beyond the tip of the nob.le and wa practically of no serviue what ever. The boys were ready to do all the service that could be rendered with the "Hancock's," but the neighbors had done all that wa necessary in that line. It would seem expedient that some mean 1 d?vimd for changing the fire preure service from low to high with out having to communicate with the uperintendent of the water works, luce the fire department people are practically helpless in an emergency o' this tort, as witness the .conditions at thl fire which was checked only by the Fine Choral Service There In Sunday Evening. The services at tlie First Presby terian Church on Sunday evening lat were peculiarly interesting and were for the mot part, choral and orches tral. The muxie was under the direc tion of the Mie FUvel, a guarranty of it genuine excellence and tlte houe of worship was filled to it very .doors. Rev. W. S. (iilbert, of Portland, the pator-elec-t of the church, was present and conducted the prosody of the ser vice, beoiilc delivering a very happy, yet brief, Christmas address. The iiinic wa most happily chosen and the work of the children in ren dering their hre of the long program, wa delightfully done. The choral work of the elder people was very fine and exhibited culture and poie in mdition that made it wholly acceptable. The solo and dual work were finely done and afforded genuine, but, of course, were preed grahjflcaU n on i all ikn. The duet, "Oh, Guiding Star." by the Mincs Stephenson, and the tingle-voice expositions of Mr. Zeiph-r, Mr. Stcphenxtn, Mr. C. IL Callcnder and Mr. Turner, were splen did pwimnn of vocal work of the bct order wrought out in commanding and beautiful themes. It was a memorable service and found expression through the following ample program: Choru an- orchestra, "Come with Anthems Glad"; chorus and orchestra, 'iteautlfti!

CHRIST IDEALS. Some Excerpts From the Sermon of Rev. Mahone. At the evening service, oa Sunday last, Rev. Luther D. Mahone, of the First Congregational Church, spoke from the theme, "Seeing the Star." He said in part: "The star have al ways eeroicd, to reverent men, looking from off the plains of the earth toward the over-arching skies of Heaven, to be sips of promise. From the earliest times astrologers have anxiously read the constellation to find lettered there by the bright point of those glowing galaxies the signatures of the grout Creator, and the omen of blessing to humanity. Thoinns Carlyle" once look ing up to the Heavens on a starry night when the stars were glowing, exclaimed to Leigh Hunt, 'They are sad stars.' But the commoner instinct of humanity has led men to think of the stars as harbinger of good and messengers of hope. "Of all the starry beacons that ever shone erf. as a turn of promise to humanity, the fairest and the sweetest and most signficant was the star of Bethlehem. 'Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,' it lighted the wondering wise men on their way from the Ea-t to the hamlet where lay the Babe of divine promise. . "The star of the Christ is the twacon of blesing in every age. It is a true todayas it has been in every century since Bethlehem, that a little child shall lead them. Still the wise men are coming to the manager and bow there in humble reverence and complete de votion. The Chrut spirit today sways vat multitudes. The ideals of Chris tionity are the brightest vision of the reformer and dreamer m well at those who do thing. "The vision of a thoroughly Chris t ionized civilization i still the object and the endeavor of the Church of Christ. The world despite all of iU follies and failures i moving constant ly on toward the Golden Age, of which tha reatless poets have always been dreaming, because it ha seen His star in the sky of promise, and is coming to worship him. "Throughout the world we view- the ceaseless march of mankind. Every one of these life rad of humanity is lighted by some guilding idea, and the individual follows it, and is led by it, and presses on the way that it direct him.. It moves on and we shape our eoitr-e accordingly. What are the guid-, ing stars in our lives! Are they tha ones that will lead to the path of right eousness or will they lead to ruin ant destruction? "The speaker emphasized the fact that the start of selfish and worldly ambition should be given up for Utt) stars of love, peace and the divine star. "This Christmas tide will prove av happy blessing to every soul that loot to Heaven to aee there the star of a redemptive promise and of a spiritual leading. The advent joy is a personal offering to each person. Unless Christ be born in our hearts, be has come to earth, so far as we are concerned, ia vain. We should be wise like the wis men, and follow the divine indication of prophecy, history and conscience ta the manger of mercy, and kneel the) in sincere devotion and veneration. Then will this Christmas time prove a blesmg to us as well as to the world, round about us." Wood! Wood! Wood! Wood!
