i Earthquake Dr. Toy Cays,
Needed to Waken Us to
Need cf Jesus.
' Tou get on the "8" car going south.
, 1 and after a food many twists and turna
you get , off within a atona'a thro w of
' a curiously bullded church, shaped Ilk
an I called tha Fourth Preabytcrian
not becauaa It la fourth in Importance.
, To be geographically accurate, . thla
! 'church la located at the Intersection of
First and Glbba streets. ,
, Onca inside on any evening now yoo
will find the worshipers of a devout clan
A that Inhabits the south side listening to
, the doctrine of hell-fire and brimstone
and moved wonderfully by the methods
. and aaylngs of the Rev.'DMlel 8. Toy.
Sverybody wants to hear Dr. Hoy, it
'would seem, for while the particular
church to which he waa assigned Is in
one of tha least populous districts of the
. city, it la filled nightly by the seekers
of Christianity. , .. '.
And no wonder! Of the evangelists In
Dr. Chapman's party It Is doubtful if
' any Is more interesting to a student of
'humanity than the corpulent, vtgoroua
preacher of South Portland. , " li. was
!ir"ne m uii iiim in . nv ta iiu w r-
tlsU Tet he tell his story In a Presby
1 terlaa charch. and that story la nothing
' short of a fiery, explosive appeal for
to wash themselves in the blood of
the Christ on pain of eternal damnation
Just one of. those hard-headed, stub
: born Presbyterian arguments that yon
. have read about and enjoyed 4n Scotch
, f literature, . ; ,.. .-. ?
' 1 . aseervea Oaly ta
la appearance Toy la the moat dlgnl
. fled, moot conservative and moat priest
' : ly of all the evangelists. In action, he
Is exactly the raverse of all thla the
iaaost tarbalent. ' -Wbea he turned to a
oartais seclVoa of toe oongregatlon tha
'other night and said. In effect. "Shut
V npr e said it as thowgh ha tneajit It
And so he mesne everything' he says.
- Someone' of questionable manners In the
: oongregatlon was talking to his neigh
' bor. ' - . . ', y .
; - "There is on thing X want understood
i here,' said the preacher. ' .land that Is
"T that X am going to do the talking. (He
- glowered at the offender). , I have' the
platform. That , la a gentle hint ; I
, caught myt own daughter talking In
church one whoa I was preaching and I
, sent her home! I would send my own
' wife home for the same act! Now,. I
' hops yon will ' bare sense enough to
: keep quiet while we are trying to lean
i the gospel of Christ!" , i - v -V
, And they certainly did ,Mhave sense
enough." The dropping of a pin would
have sounded like -the explosion of a
siege gun from that moment on. . ;
Dr. Toy's method . Is compulsion.
rather than persuasion. It Is a fact ae
oepted long ago that ao'me men eati rule
some women and vice versa by brick
bats, while others rule by love. In re
ligious matters.. Dr. Toy uses the brlck-
bat system. Be doesn't eoax and 'plead,
as does,, say. Dr. Blederwolf. for ex-
ample, but bt scares- men and women
into the fold. A strange statement per
haps. . but literally true -he simply
scares them into becoming Christians.
- '' Says Xe Is Old. Togy '
' ' --"I am Just old fogy enough to believe
that Adam and Eve lived In the garden
of Edenr-h said. . Tea. and he ta Just
old fogy -enough to make people coma
to the altar. In fear and trembling. If not
- ' because they want to, then because they
t ar afraid to stay away. . - f ' .
... Dr. Toy has made a ohurchful of con
verts mora, perhaps, than any other
" preacher,, considering the number of peo
, pie he haa 'spoken to and be has done
: it through bis indomitable aggression.
He Is "quite sot in bis ways" and he has
a powerful voloe, which, when he waxes
warm, be nses with all his lung power.
He Is an Intelligent ' commanding,
orthodox preacher, . whose . balr la
streaked with gray, who knows his
Scripture wall and analyses it perfectly.
Tou will be startled half out Of reason
when you stop to contemplate that once
he was a sporting man.
Dr. Toy's sermon last evening was
listened to very attentively by a full
house. His text was. "What Shall I Do
to Be Saved?" and the well known
answer given by Paul to the Phlllpplan
Jailor, "Believe on the Lord Jeaua Christ
and thou shall be saved." .
This was one of the strongest of his
sermons and one of the most character
istic. In part he said: :

A splendid audience greeted Evangelist
Needham at the song service led by Mr.
Powers at Forbes" Presbyterian church.
A special feature was the "Glory Song."
which 'IS generally sung in the Welsh
snd English revivals. Prayers were of
fered at the opening service by Rev.
Marcotte of the Westminster Presby
terian church and Rev. Mr. Bllas of the
Third Baptist church. Mr. Needham
spoke on "The Atonement" taking for
hla text xvU:ll. He declared that
thla ' doctrine runs through the whole
Bible. Where there Is no shedding of
blood there Is -no remission of sin.
. '-Ood pity the man whose theology
rejects the crucified Christ" he said.
"We are bondaervants of sin until pur
chased by tbo blood of Christ We are
justified by the mood or const we
receive peace through this blood. Our
alna are washed away In this blood. The
password to Ood at -last will be blood or
no blood."
At the close a number arose, signify
ing a desire to lead Christian lives.
These and others who had previously
taken thla a.tand ware called to the front
and greeted by the pastors of the asso

Dr. Walton Says People Are Too
v .Often Too Busy to Ac
, . cept It . '
The onion evangenstlo service In
Sunnyslde last night attracted an audi
ence greater than haa over been aeen at
any religious gathering In that part or
the city. When Dr. Walton stepped on
the pulpit platform, the auditorium and
lecture room of the Bunnyslde Congre
gational ehurch were crowded, and the
last remaining apace In the tower was
tapldly occupied.-- . -, .';'
Dr. Walton took for his text Luke
stfTlT. ""Come, tot all things are now
ready." - '
"Ood is always ready to pardon a
sinner," said he "but Instead of coming'
to accept this pardon the sinner sets
about manufacturing excuses. The chap
ter says, -'And. they began- to- make- ex
cuse.' mere oomeo a . tune, However,
when excuses ' must cease, and man
appears . before his Ood in the position
of that other man la th New Testa
ment record of whom it was said, 'And
he was speechless.' Ood's readiness to
pardon, and forgive Is such that a sin
ner literally tramples under foot the
greatest object , of the . Father's love,
even His Son, la order to Ignore and re
fuse It . i
"Many men beg off today on the plea
of too much business. And It Is true of
them what the little girl said about her
papa. 'He - couldn't get to' heaven be-
cause he was too busy at the store.'
The devil fools sinners "in ' two ways;
some men be makes believe that they are
too good, others be persuades that they
are too bad." -
The muslo oodar the direction of O.
Tj Push was specialty attractive fea
ture of the service. Three-year-old
Gladys Pugh, standlnr on a table where
all the audience might see her, sang a
aolo. Over S decision cards - were
signed. .'
LIVING PICTURE
OF SIR AND - SHAME
Dr. Chapman Tells the Story of
the Man Who Betrayed y
t His Master.
Exaltation of spirit seems to be the
normal condition of some of the evan
gelists, who, like Dr. Chapman at the
First Presbyterian church last night keep
absolute control of themselves and of
tha congregations to whom they speak.
The large crowd was as quiet as ths or
dinary congregation of that church usu
ally Is. but beneath the -quiet there was
a powerful uplifting influence which
seemed to be a pert of and yet outside
the speaker, and to be not- the result
but the cause, of bis sometimes Impas
sioned pleading. -Dr.
Chapman made the old atorr of
Judas a living picture ot sin and shame
too great to be borne. He contrasted
tha - two apoatlea, Peter and J scar lot
aaylng that in hla opinion Peter was pri
marily the greater sinner, because he
had continually made professions of loy
alty, while Judas made none. - Peter
stood for enthusiasm In Christian work,
Paul foe culture -and power, and Judas
for treachery. ..
Dr. Chapman said ths choice of Judas
by Christ as one of his disciples had
been used as an argument-to show that
Christ did not know the men he chose,
nor what they would ' do, but that
Christ's own words proved that be did
know and probably chose Judas that he
might serve as an . awful example
through all time of the result of treach
ery1' and the price paid for the bargain
and sale of tha beat and highest known
to us for money, the paltriest, least
satisfying of earth's rewards. .
Dr. Chapman's portrayal of the life,
and death of Judas waa very dramatic
and he held the interest of his audience
from beginning to end. . Mr.. Butler's
songs were eagerly listened to. .

Dr. Stotigh Says Children Should
Be Brought Up oh Prayer1
and Hickory: ; ' :
At Calvary Baptist church Evangelist
Stough spoke last night on "Parenthood
and the Home." He said in part: -:
"There is no more pathetlo story In all
literature than that of David weeping
over hla prodigal boy, Absalom, whose
prodigality had led him to lift his hand
in rebellion against his own father's
government and whose untimely end In
the midst of battle brought grief to hla
father more keonly and bitterly than If
Absalom had overthrown his power.
"The , trembling question of the cou

every true parent since. la my boy

might determine more accurately the
course of one's future life. . . - -
"The young man will not be safe tin
leas he has right parental authority.
Childhood muat bo disciplined, The will
must be trained. -.The fundamental of
all life, whether It is governmental, so
cial or religious. Is obedience. Religion
IS simply, obedience to Ood. One great
difficulty these days to get' men to
obey Ood lies in the fact that they hav
never been taught to obey their parents.
Too many children are brought up to
day on the painless system. 'Prayer and
hickory' was the recipe of a dear, old
fashioned mother' once when asked how
she brought up her excellent family of
boys." ,'....-.
MESSAGEOF CHRIST
. r--- TO LABORING MEN
.The largest week-night audience! rrf
the campaign greeted Dr. Elliotf last
evening when he spoke on "The Message
of Christ to Laboring Men." His text
was, "Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give
you- rest."
He drew a vivid picture of the bit
terness of toll, and asked ths audience
to come to "Christ that they might have
better and happier Uvea. Mr. Rykert
sang an effective solo. Ths great chorus
waa at its best
Dr. Hill, chairman of the general com
mittee on the evangellstio movement
happened in at the oloalng momenta of
the service and was given a warm wel
come. He urged the people -or the east
aide -to make the moat of the present
opportunity. ' -
"In my opinion," said he. "it will be
years before Portland has another such
movement" - r. . ,
'-The work has grown so largely that
Dr. Elliott called fgr II more personal
workers last night , to supplement the
present large staff. "
This afternoon a i prayer meeting for

SUCCESS WON ONLY "
THROUGH THE SAVIOR
Dr. Os tram's service last evening at
the First Congregational church waa for
young people, and the main Boor of the
large auditorium was niled. Wltn rare
insight the doctor chose a subject of vi
tal Interest to the young people, "Suc
cess In Life," and as he unfolded the
truth that onlr throush Jesus Christ
oaa success be won. . bis message sank
deep into their hearts.
One of - the distinguishing traits In
Mr. Ostrom's preaentatloevof bis subject
Is the remarkable knowledge he has of
human nature, and last evening as he
summed up the wrong motives that are
actuating ths unsaved man's life, snd
then contrasted with them the one su
preme motive that ahouid dominate the
spirit service for Ood, -he made It so
plain and sharp that its conclusions
were accepted by many. - When the -appeal
-was - made many stood, signifying
their desire to take up this service, and
their number was added to In. the after
meeting.
Mr. Hlllls, whose singing has sdded
so much to all of these meetings, sang

NO APPARENT REASON
Fitrht , Between Principal - and
Janitor, and With Dismissal
of the Latter.
. Taxpayers of Portland who voted a
1-mlU tag for a new high school on the
east aide -are amasea at tne apparent
Indifference Of members of the board
of school directors In 'the matter of se
lecting a site for the proposed building.
At ths meeting of the board last night
Whitney I Boise, Dr. 8. B. Joseph! and
O. M. Scott urged ths immediate neces
sity of action, but the matter waa again
deferred. - ,
"It Is necessary- to arrive at a de
cision,' aald Dr. Joseph!, "for as long aa
there Is delay and uncertainty there will
be strife. We own the block adjoining
ths Hawthorne school and as It Is the
most centrally located point In Eaat
Portland we ahouid build on It. If we
purchase another lot an additional tax
will be necessary. It does not seem
possible that anybody who had a piece
of land suitable to hla needs, such as
we have, would take money -out of hla
pocket to buy another lot. It Is. not a
business proposition. The people would
be better" pleased to have the taxes made
leas Instead of having them increased."
A delegation from the civic improve
ment board of the chamber of commerce
asked the approval of the board of the
movement for a better Portland that
has been started among school children.
After considerable -discussion it was de
cided that the board ahouid take no ac
tion in organising clubs smong the
scholars, but Superintendent Rigler was.
Instructed to notify President Wheel
wright of the chamber of commerce that
It was In sympathy with the movement
and that the principals could give such
assistance as they desired.
Principal C L. Strong of the Bell wood
school notified the board that J. O.
Holden. the Janitor, would not obey
orders and aaked the board to remove
him. Some time ago the Janitor notified
the beard that unleas It "tired" the prin
cipal he would resign. The Janitor was
dismissed hut night and Mr. Brown
waa selected to All the position. - fr
