Third and Oak Streets.
At the meeting of the Portland Pres
bytery at Mount Tabor yesterday after
noon. Rev. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the
First church of this city commended the
action Of The Journal in its fight
against gambling and declared It the
only paper in Portland that had ranged
itself on the side of law and order.'
The remarks of Dr. Hill were. warmly
approved by the ministers present and
several of them spoke at length on the
subject of the city's wickedness. Rev.
J. R. Wilson, principal of Portland acad
emy, deplored existing conditions - and
said:
"I will not encourage a young . man
to come to Portland so long as present
conditions exist. - Jf he comes It must
be with the consent f his parents and
without the encouragement v of the
school."
Dr. Hill's remarks followed the adop
tion of a resolution favoring the plan of
action of the Anti-Saloon league. , He
warmJy favored the Adoption, 4hs-res
olution.
"I am willing." he said, "to co-operate
with any scheme whatever for the ad
vancement of temperance, hut I think
that while this matter Is up we should
take up local matters. My deep convlo
tlon is that the situation In Portland
Is very demoralising. The young-men
of the town are being undermined.
Praise for The Journal.
"In the ftght we are making against
gambling in Portland there Is just one
paper that has ranged Itself on the side
of law and order. That, paper is the
Oregon Dally Journal. I believe that
we should stand by the paper that la
coming out flat footed on the side of
municipal righteousness.
"I bring this matter up at the solici
tation of no one at all, but because I
think The Journal deserves our com
mendation and, support" -
Wants Pair Closed Sunday.
The report on the year's work showed
a very, encouraging increase in all
branches. The assembly went on rec
ord as against the opening on Sunday of
the Lewis and Clark fair. Rev. Wil
liam Travis, chairman of the commit
tee on Sabbath observance presented
the - resolution recommending that the
aid of the American Sunday School
union, the Bureau of Reform of tfie W.
C. T. U. be secured to ask congress to
stipulate that doors of all expositions
receiving government appropriations
must be closed on Sunday.
The business of the Presbytery was
concluded this morning, after which
most of the ministers departed for Cor
vallls to attend the synod. . '
Bar. X. A. Thompson Ordained.
- Last night at Sellwood Presbyterian
church, - Rev. David A. Thompson was
ordained a minister and was Installed
as pastor.
At yesterday; session, of tie Presbjr
tery Kev. Henry Marcotte, for seven
years pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Astoria, was released from that con
gregation that he might accept the pul
pit of the Westminster church of Port
land. A resolution expressing the re
gret of the Astoria congregation at the
missloner Ross of that city.
A sharp debate was precipitated by
the report of Rev. J. R. Wilson in
which he declared that too much politlci
was resorted to In the election of the
moderator of the general assembly. Dr,
Hill took exceptions to Rev. Mr. Wll
son's statements. The interference of
Moderator Wlnfleld T. Scott prevented
a too warm dlsoussion.
As chairman of the committee on edu
cation dt. Wilson said there was an
alarming decrease In the number of
men preparing for the ministry. All
the professions, he continued, were suf
ferlng, however, and the different
branches of engineering were claiming
more candidates than law, medicine or
the ministry.
