: TITE OKEGOK JDAltY JOUBNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, FEBItlTAItY 29. 1904. PARTING SERMON OF DR. TALBOTT THB ixrrrxcrEsrcT or ood whsh HUKAB MEANS ABB INADEQUATE X YABBWEMi THEME THE "l.OAYESABD THB YAMISxTXB JUTOIIIVOB IK TKB DESEBT. " Dr H. J. Talbott, who lias held th ' pastorate of the First Methodist Kpia- copal fhurch in this city for the past ,' two and a half years, preached his last sermon before his Portland congregation idlest evening. Pr. Talbott leaves this evening with his wife and daughter i'!Mis Mary Talbott. for his new Held in ' - rtah, whore he goes as state superin tendent of the Methodist Episcopal ml- aions. This is an Important charge, und teftne for whleb Dr. Talbott is eminently fitted. The Utah state board of mit- sions endeavored to secure Dr. Talbott ti ns their superintendent before lie came to Portland. His departure is greatly regretted by hip congregation, which has been fcrefttly augmented under Dr. Tal- bolt's charge. In ills farewell, Mr. Tal bott said, in part, taking his text from ' John vi:9 "There is a lad here with five barley loaves and two small fishes, but ' what are they among the many?" ? "A sloping hill; a wide plain, upon '.. which are hundreds of people discussing the wonders which, they have seen, talk ing of -the new doctrines which have been proclaimed; filled with new, strange thoughts recently awakened--this is the '. nicture presented. , "Human resources are Inadequate for, human needs. Here are more than 5,000 weary, hungry persons with nothing pro-; vlded against hunger; and they are In a desert.' In reply to Jesus' question they can only muster 6 poor, thin barley cakes and two small -dried fishes. No wonder Andrew, his own appetite whet ted by fasting, 'said 'what are these " among so many?" No wonder the dis ciples said 'send, the multitude away that they may buy bread.' Thls .Inadequacy Is. painfully empha- v;; sized when one -looks to the spiritual betterment of .mankind. Upon the bnu hand is this world sunken In vice, de voured with Bin, wretchedly desolate, bound Jn chains, driven under the task masters of . passion. Over against It Is the church of God,' weakened by di visions, hindered by human frailties, im peded by human weakness, blinded by '. human ignorance. - Here la a city sod den in unbelief, reeking with sin, peril ous to the young aa a battlefield would be, given up to pleasure and a mad race for gold, with crime rampant and law- . lessness but little restrained. Here on ' the other hand are the. comparatively few Christian people, looking at the awful task upon the one hand and the alight resources upon the other. "It makes a vast difference Into whose hands anything of power or usefulness goes. , The microscope capable of re , veallng a world otherwise Invisible to human eyes In the hands of science Is only a toy less valuable than a rattle in the hands of A child. The surgeon's knife, designed to be a blessing in the handstf skill, becomes--; dangerous weapon In the hands of malice. The ; rulershlp of a nation In the hands of f i Integrity becomes a means of blessing, 'enlargement and worthy history. But f tn the hands of conceit and selfish ambi tion It becomes a grief to all good peo ple. . The Judge's bench, ' occupied by a firm, just man, Is a bulwark to right eousnese. But when a wavering, con " ; sclenceless politician has wormed his way to this throne of power, what a menace is this! "The pulpit, filled by' a man clear of head, warm of heart, caring most of all ,- for his master's work, and set upon de . liverlng his master's message, will be a i voice against sin. But filled by a petti . fogger, chiefly occupied with the explolta , tion of himself and his small, and un important theories what a travesty upon ministerial fidelity! - ! "Here we have the difference strongly - marked. The spokesman of the dtscl ; pies Andrew hss taken an Inventory of their resources and he calls' It over -t to iesus: 'Five loaves j and two small fishes.' Strange that the disciples have forgotten Jesus! , But not more. strange than that we should forget Almlghtt- - ness, Christ says: 'Bring them to me.' ,:. With, a blessing he breaks and sends out under the disciples' hands until every ,:: stomach is satisfied. "How Impotent are our civil institu tions unless, through men of integrity, ; God has laid His hand upon them! How Inadequate are our reform measures un- ' less . the Spirit,, of Christ breathes in .them! What are our schools, churches. , Bibles, examples, prayers, if left In our own hands! How useless the brightest and most) entertaining talk , In classes, miscslled Bible teaching; the most flu ent words addressed to , human ears, j miscalled praying; the most ornate and - patronising service, miscalled worship; the most pharlsaio living, miscalled piety; the most ostentatious giving, mis called charity; 'the most splendid ora tlons, miscalled sermons how useless . s and pitiful all these, unless Christ's : hands have been laid In blessing upon J them! But brought to him they become ; '- powerful in , the renovation of human lives. Human 'resources are of little moment, alone; 'but the power back of i; them is everything." ' XJYB AS A BACE. . Rev.'E.'L. House at the First Congre gational church yesterday morning took for his theme, "Life as a Race." In part he said: "Paul says this world is a racetrack. It is ' not a grandstand, where we can : stt down and enjoy the show. Nor is : it a promenade, where people may pass up and down and to see and be seen. Nor Is it a comfortable Inn, where the chief concern is shelter, food and sleep. No, it is a racetrack, a place for pro- , gression, toward an inspiring goal. "Our age marks the supremacy of na ture by man. He has pushed out his steamers to distant shores, united the nations by his wires, commanded the lightning to illuminate his towns, em ployed ihe sun to paint his pictures, and drawn from the earth vegetables and minerals to tonic his weakness and re lieve his pain. ' "Yet wiih this Impprial conquest has Skin Diseases d tbe most stubborn and chronic kind re promptly relievos and eventually cured by tot use el lyfirozone This powerful germicide is ab solutely harmlessii It has cured cases pronounced incurable and will 'cure you.

The physical transcends the spiritual Realms unreached., by railways ' are doubted. - The existence snd nearness of it personal God are lost in the rattle of machinery and 'cars. Surely, this is ominous. Should It become universal, then man will be essentially of the earth, earthy.,; Every Stroke of the pick and every whirr of the drill will but anchor him more fully and firmly to the globe -on -which he rides. whRe the celestial gleam and grace that have streamed from realms surpassing sense, will bewhoTty unfetrsnd unknown. "Paul gives- us great Incentive,' ? It is this: 'We are compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses,' We must take their places and keep up the order of the ages. Every man wlo refuses to run the race is doing his share for the undoing of the world. ; "To run this race we must prepare ourselves thoroughly,, , We Are to lay aside every weight. Christian weights are extremely difficult to deal with, - .The omuHeraont which one man may enjoy, may excite and intoxicate another. To discover what are weights to me is for j in in run. And all that hinders must be thrown aside. ' ; 1 "And there is the weight which doth bo easily "beset us. This is not one sin. but something more. The Greek word here signifies a sin which la in good standing around. Murder, adultery, drunkenness is never in good standing. but thre Is a sin which Is In good standing, and that is, unbelief.' and this holds In its embrace many another, aln. Ana you must run witn. patience the rare set before you. Walking with pa tience is poverty's problem. To suffer want and be resigned IS a difficult task. "Hut" to run with patience Is another problem. In walking one has to put on weights and breaks, but o run-he must throw them off. In running one must throw his SDlrlt ahead of his body. In otner words the spiritual must be calm, and, the man. must be under the highest self-control. "The race set before us implies that preparations have been made for suc cess. The Christian course is built for victory. Ana" this victory is achieved by the runner keeping his eyes on Christ, the goal of life." A MESSAGE TO KB. "The Vision of Responsibility That Came to an Aristocrat Vp a Tree" was Rev. William E.- Randall's subject last evening at the Central Baptist church. his text was: "This day Is salvation come to this house." "Zacchaeus, the man who niched un der the cover Of law, was the last con vert but one that the Man of Nasareth made during his public ministry, A man who filled iis coffers by wringing revenue from the unfortunate. Away down in the man's soul' there was some thing better. Be hopeful for those that the world calls fallen.' Charles Dick ens wrote, 'Away tip a great many pair of stairs," in a very remote corner, easily passed by. there is a door, -snd on that door is written 'woman.' Blurred - and hidden, inan'-ls written upon many that we tnougntiessiy pass by. - "Doubtless the crowd jeered when the aristocrat climbed into a tree. 'He Is trying to get a reserved seat without investing the price Jesus' right to 1 caiiea the--Great Commoner" is illus trated by his relation to Zacchaeus, snd the fraternal "message. "Make haste, and come down; for today J. must abide at thy house.' , "The genuineness of the aristocrat's repentance was attested by his conduct: The half of my goods I give to the poor.' A so-called revival that falls to make men honest' and generous, Is spu rious . "Heretofore Zacchaeus' dwelling place naa been a 'house.' Doubtless when the master departed ' he wished blessings upon a Tiome.' Heartaches crowd into luxurious places. Luxury and loneliness are not strangers. Many burdened hearta would be glad to begin over again in a three-room cottage, if vanished fel lowship and love could be recalled. Too many men try to do with re ligion as some do with property hold it in the wife's name! I am not blind to the fact that for men the strain and stress of life is Intense. Business has become the keenest competition. The problem of a' living Is more complex. We have luxuries at the expense of nerves and spirit. To successfully wsge persistent moral battles Is a task for heroes. "With a full recognition of life's burdens and battles, I take the hand of father and husband and say, 'It Is not fair to thrust upon the wife and mother responsibility for the religious welfare of the home.' "Blessings will come into the home through a good mother's heart. What is the sublimest picture that comes to mortal vision? A mother with her children about her, helping the buds to open Godwsrd! A mother, catching the sunshine of heaven In her soul and face and reflecting It Into other lives! Wo men can make a community morally what they will to make it. "Tell me what the homes and home life will be during the next 60 yeara and I will tell you how the country will end. There are parents that put moral twists into families. Why does on horse sell for 11.660 and another sell for S16.60? Blood! There is just aa much difference in human blood. Tou can give your child a destiny, or a damnation!" TKB TAXTJB OP CHAXITY. "Sons are - urged to enter the most lucrative professions of life," declareJ Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher of the First Baptist church, tn his sermon laat night on "How to Get Rich." The shortest road to fortune Is the motto given them. With this thought In mind, they place more value upon cash than they do upon character, and end their lives in ruin." The minister declared that the cove tous man was a slave to the almighty dollar. "Jesus pronounced the selfish, greedy, grasping millionaire a fool," said the speaker. "Well did he call him one, for it takea more than money to make a man." Rev. Mr. Brougher asked what was to be gained by the accumulation of great wealth. He took his text from Matthew xli:1S, "Take heed and be ware of covetousness, for a man's life conslsteth not . in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.'" On condition the congregation of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal church raises the sum of 110,000 before Jan uary 1, 1905, the Methodist Episcopal Church Extension society has agreed to donate (11.165. S3, and thus clear away the debt against the church. Rev. W. I Holllngshead, pastor of the church,' urged the members of his congregation yesterday morning to strive to raise the 110,000. This will mean 11,000 per month during the remainder of 1904. - The pastor of the church is confident that, the debt will be wiped out, and he declares that within 'five years Cente nary church will be the center of Meth odism in Portland. The debt against the church was, caused by litigation over the estate of James Abraham. Mr. Abraham . when the church was built agreed to assume, all responsibility of the debt, but arter his death his estate was dissipated through litigation: The gift from the-church extension society was, secured through the efforts of Rev. Mr. Holllngshead. ABMXM TO BB BEPATJBES. ' ' Anderson & Crowe, the shlpllners, bsve been awarded the contract for re pairing - the -French bark Armen. The tlrm will fit her out with a topgallant mast, a new yard and put the vessel In thorough shape fr the sea. The other bidders for the work were Robert Lol ler Attd JJH. Roberta. BUFORD CARRIES A SMALL CARGO CAPACITY ' OT TBAWSPOBT TO XiTOCBSB WAS O VXBJtATEB ABO XTCH OF TKB SHIP MIST WttI JBB-XEPT YOB THE JWYEBBXSS -BCYOBD LEAVES TOMOBBOW. It is thought probable that the trans port Buford will complete loading her cargo this afternoon, and leave down to morrow. On account of the excessive rain and high wind yesterday it was impossible for the men to work, or she would have been ready to leave today. The Buford is not taking out so large a cargo as it was at first expected she would carry. It will not amoifint to much more than 600,000 feet, about half the amount Jt was estimated that she would take upon her arrival. The ves sel had never been loaded with lumber, and no one had much of an idea of her carrying capacity " for ; this ' kind Of freight. Heretofore she had been used exclusively as a troopship, and- the gov ernment made no alterations in her be fore sending her north. . For that rea son she has not been 'properly fitted UP for lumber carrying, and the small available space in the hold has soon been filled. Some of the bunks for the use of marines "id soldiers have been re moved during the past few days, and a little extra space has been provided. From here the Buford will, go direct to San Francisco, where she is sched uled to arrive by March 10. If no dif ficulty Is experienced at the bar she will arrive almost a week ahead of schedule time. At the bay city 600 marines will be taken aboard, and the transport will then sail for the Philippines. , By taking out only 600,000 feet the government lumber . remaining. at-Port-land Unshipped will amount to 1.610,000 feet. It Is said at the quartermaster's office that this can be easily taken out by the steamship Inverness, which was chartered by the government, last week, In addition to the grain cargo she will carry. Hence there has been no particu lar inconvenience caused by the limited shipment which will go out on the Buford. It is announced at the united Stales engineer's office that the bar dredge Chinook may soon come up to Portland to undergo repairs to her boilers. There was talk of sending her to San Fran cisco, but upon mature deliberation it was thought to be a waste of time to send her so far No very extensive re pairs are needed, it is explained, and the work can be easily done at Portland In time to put the dredge in active commission when godd weather comes. Major Langfltt Is not in the city, and no authentic 'statement bearing upon the subject could be secured. FIRE BOAT WILL SOON BE READY The Portland flreboat, George H Williams, . which was launched Satur day afternoon, was towed from the foot of Gibbs street to the boiler shops of the Willamette Iron works this morn ing. The work of placing her boilers and other machinery will begin Immedi ately. "The flreboat will now be rushed through to completion," said W. H. Cor bett, of the Willamette Iron works, to day. "The boilers and the remainder of the machinery, including the pumps, will be placed at once."- "How soon, will the boat be ready for commission?" was asked. "I presume she will be ready by the middle of April, or possibly May 1. I think she ought to be ready that soon, providing no ill luck is encountered." The launching was a complete suc cess. The vessel is in first-class condi tion, and when ready for commission is expected to be one of the beb fire fighters afloat. As large a force of men as can do effective work are engaged in placing the machinery today. They will be kept steadily at work untU the vessel is ready to be turned over to the city.

Corvallls, Feb. , 29. T. . W. Dilley, known In this vicinity as "Dilley. the Fixer," met with a serious accident about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the probable consequences of which sre not yet known. Standing on a ladder that was placed on a bench, Mr. Dilley was engaged in painting when, in some man ner, the ladder slipped, and he fell. His back was injured so badly that he fainted, and a stretcher was brought on which the sufferer was taken home. Mr. Dilley runs a general bicycle and repair shop on Mairi street, and is a well-known citizen. Damage by High Water. (, The high water has washed away 30 feet of the local O. C. &.T. dock, and weakened the remaining part so that a force of carpenters will be put to work On the repairs as soon as the water falls sufficiently to permit of the job being done. Vp to Thursday even ing the rainfall for February, in this section. Is 12:13 Inches. The total from September 1 to Thursday was 34.69 inches. Up to . the present time it is probably more than 36 Inches more than the total for the entire rainy season last year. Xiewls and Clark Quarters. Benton county has received an offi cial invitation to enter an exhibit in the Portland 1906 fair. The invitation contains an offer to assign any desired space in the building with other coun ties, or to grant Benton county permis sion to erect a building of its own, and that the fair management will co-operate In every possible way with Benton county in making the exhibit a suc cess. Products that do not ripen until late autumn will have to be held over from this year, and everyone Interested in his home county should lend his aid to wards making old Benton's exhibit one to do the county and the state full jus tice. The proposition to open East Water street through to Hawthorne avenue seems to have met with but little en couragement from the abutting p!'""o owners, Joseph Supple, who went out last week with a petition, found that the Standard Oil company was the only cor poration willing to put up. its share of the expense.

The Republican and Democratic county central commit tees met In this city Saturday afternoon and fixed the1 time for holding the pri maries and county conventions for the spring campaign. . ' The Retmbl can committee met in tne city -hall at 1:30 o'clock, . with nearly every precinct represented by the pre cinct committeemen, and those absent had representatives in the shape of prox ies there. The committee at once got down to business, and a committee on apportionment was appointed to appor tion the delegates. This was a difficult matter, owing t the re-arrangement of the precinct boundaries since the last election, caused by the' addition to this city of three wards, cut out of several of the precincts lying near this city, and the consequent re-arrangement of the outside precincts. A committee was also appointed to de cide the dates for the convention and. the primaries. This committee soon re entered the meeting and reported, tne report being adopted. The dates fixed are: , Primaries Monday, March 28. County convention Thursday, March SI. at 11 a. m. In the precincts where closed primar ies will be held .It was decided to hold them, In the majority of cases, from 1 to -p. m.; In others the time is shorter. In those holding open primar iesIn thfe country jre,clncts -the time was ilxed for 2 p. in. An effort was ' made by some of the committeemen from some of the out side precincts to have a longer time In tervene between the primaries and the convention, as it takes two days for some of the delegates from the moun tain precincts to reach Salem for the convention, but this failed. This ef fort seemed to be fathered by those of the candidates who do not desire to fight out the battles at the primaries, but wish a long time to Intervene be tween the primaries and the convention within which to see the delegates elected. The apportionment committee at 3:15 o'clock brought in a report providing for 264 delegates to the county conven tion, and this was adopted without de bate. This makes the largest county convention ever held in Marlon county. The Dsmoc ratio Committee. The Democratic committee, in ses sion at the same time, decided to hold the primaries on Saturday, March 26. and the convention in this city Thurs day, April 14. The apportionment was made on the vote cast at the last state electtonfor Governor George E. Cham berlain, one delegate for every 15 votes or major fraction, being the apportion ment. This will make a convention of 199 members to be held here April 14. . A committee was appointed, consist ing of A. M. Dalrymple, T. R. Wilson and P. Li. Frazler, to arrange for a ban quet, to be held at the Willamette hotel In this city on the evening of April 1, to celebrate Thomas . Jefferson's birth day. It has already been, decided to make this the great Democratic event of the year here, and 200 plates will be provided for. Prominent local speak ers and many from abroad will be in at tendance, and the flower of the Demo cratic party will be present on this memorable occasion. A number of In vitations will be sent out to party lead ers in every portion of the state, no pains will be spared to make the affair a success and an attempt will be made at that t(me to heal over all party dif ferences, if any still exist, and form a nucleus that will result in victory for the party of Jefferson In the ensuing campaign.

Expert workmen will be employed and the changes and repairs will be made on the ground. The mill has been idle for a number of years and it will re quire considerable overhauling before It can be started up again for a con tinuous run. The scamps were put in operation yesterday for a test run. The mine is employing a large force of men at present and high-grade ore is being taken out and shipped. This old and well-known property will ' soon be on Its former producing basts. Since oper ations were resumed the company' has been 'pushing steadily ahead to this end. The E. & E. is owned by Jonathan Bourne of Portland, and associates, and while it is considered to be one of the best properties In the west, on account of litigation in wthicU it became in volved, the' plant has been idle for sev eral years.

O'OOOS BBUYSB.B9 TO AZ.Ii PABTB OT TXB CITY YBEB. " HELPING BOYS TO BECOME USEFUL MEN This week the Y. M. C A, Inaugurates a system of manual training which will enable the children of the public schools to VJo . home work. This is the first time that anything of tbe kind has ever been tried In this city. The Federated Women', clubs ars also, working with this special object in vlew. Kvery progressive city of the United States has excellent manual training sys tems in their schools. Seattle for some years past has given this instruction in its schools. It was begun in the high school and was gradually extended to the higher grades,and finally industrial work was taught in the kindergarten. San Francisco also has an excellent system which covers the ground very well. W. J. Standley,, in speaking of intro ducing the system into the Portland pub lic schools ssys: "Some cities have started with very small expense and then have worked on broader lines, but if anything Is done In Portland along this line, I think that it should be done in a, way that will be a oredit to the city, because the work is no experiment. 'The experience so far has shown that truancy has been done away with to a considera ble extent. Truants are a class of bova to whom school work does not appeal. However, this class is Interested in the practical work of the manual training workshop. Without manual training the boy la not afforded to gain the practical application of many of his arithmetical rules. He may not be able to apply his rules in the ordinary way, but when he gets a chance to apply them In a prac tical way, he soon begins to enjoy the work. I had an example of this not long ago. A boy was going to cut an open ing - in a board. The dimensions were one-half by four and one-half Inches. He worked it out by the rules and found the ' result to be eight and one-half inches.' By having to demonstrate it he understood ' where his mistake was. "Statistics given in the past have shown that the number attending the manual ' training schools have passed their regular examinations -at a much higher percentage than those pupils re maining the full period at their regular studies." "An ' experiment has been tried In France by an Industrial school. Chil dren of the public schools were given the privilege of attending this school one-half of each day and these were the most successful pupils at the regular school examinations. . 'Two boys, verj( warm friends, were attending the workshop. One was bright and studious and the other careless and indifferent in regard to his studies. I wish to mention hers that the system of Instruction in the Y. M. C. A. is strictly Individual, so that each pupil progresses as rapidly as he is sble or wishes to do. The bright public school pupil was ab normally" deficient in the use of his hands. His friend, ths dull student, seized upon his tools and their applica tion with avidity and in two weeks was three months ahead of his chum. Ob servations later, developed the fact that the f tool work had strengthened ths bright boy in his general physique, pre paring him better for his studies. His chum, discovering the practical side of his school work, went at it with a differ ent spirit and became interested and apt in the common school branches." ' - "A great misunderstanding among pa trons of tool work consists in the fact that they are under the, Impression that manual training consists in an attempt to , make, meahanlcs out of boys. ' That in Itself is a valuable factor in the work, but a better one, In the sight of ths manual training teacher, is using the tools as a medium for rounding out FAMOUS IH A C1.AS3 BY XTflEUV" paying cask to a cash firm, instead of ABTB or THS High - grade Bedroom Suites Hgh-grade . elm, 1 large plate mlr ror to dresser! sold regularly at $26.00 special , .f 31.68 Beautiful Birch Suite,; plate 'mlr-; ror, 24xJ0-inch; ; extra - value at f38,0O -' special, this week, at :,V ,,.,,.'..,.. i , ....' :.S1.B0 '' Hand-Polished Ash Suits, ;;' heavy ' plate mirror, , 54xS0-lnch, ; deco rated . with rich ' carvings; , a , ' beauty for 110.00 special this ; week, at ...,...vi , 135.88 er Sale 26 dozen Ladles' heavy Peroale.j! .jt Wrappers, . ntcely trimmed and 'well finished.
