MUCH INDIFFERENCE
People of Today Disregard
Things of Ufa, Says 9.
"The Church Our Mother" was the
theme upon which Rev. O. Elmo Robin
son of Rodney Avenue Christian church
discoursed yesterday morning. Mr. Rob
inson said In part:
"There Is an alarming indifference In
thla day to the greatest things of life.
The church of Christ has suffered with
other Institutions from the Indifference
of even her own members.
"It la a VII vine Institution. Great and
good as is the work being done by the
Sunday school, the Chrlatlan Endeavor,
the Y. M. C. A. and the fraternal orders.
none of these, can It be said, were
founded by the son of God. The church
alone was purchased' by the blood of
Christ. The church alone Is said to be
the pillar and ground of truth.
"It has been well said that If God Is
our father, the church must be our
mother. She haa shown herself a true
mother by the love exhibited for her
children. The blood of martyrs freely
spilled is a testimony of the love of the
church for mankind.
"Christ's church has proven herself a
true mother to the world In her minis
trations to the physical as well as spir
itual needs of the race. She haa sent
her ministering angels onto the sattla
fields, and her missionaries Into the
heart of darkened continents. Her end
leas round of Spiritual services 'con
quers sinners, comforts saints.'
"In view of whspfcbe church hsa done
snd Is doing for the world, we owe her
and endless debt of gratitude. Our time,
our talent, our earthly possessions
should be freely Invested in this great
est of all Institutions.
"Finally the church will endure for
ever. The gatea of the unseen world
shall not prevail against her when all
the great Institutions of earth ahall
have passed away. The church trium
phant will be singing with the vigor of
eternal youm Tne Bong of Mosea and
the Lamb.' "
MILK AND BUTTERMILK
Dr. rougher CM
Belatloo of Church and People.
Dr. J. Whttcomb Bro usher recom
mends the feeding of milk In large,
benevolent doaea to church members
of narrow sectarianism, backsliding,
knocking, and other shortcomings.
"Milk and Buttermilk" was the sub
ject of the White Temple pastor's ser
mon last night. "Sectarian church mem
bers are babes snd need milk," said Dr.
B rougher.
"Backsliders sre babes snd need
milk. Undeveloped church members sre
babes and need milk. Knockers need
milk."
Dr. Brougher quoted the words of
Paul: "Whereas there Is among you
jealousy and strife, ye are carnal and
bebea." .leo: "And as new born babes

daily study of the Bible to read the
newspapers and other worldly litera
ture. Dr. Brougher said:
"Accepting the Bible teaching that
rnflk la good for babies, let us notice
for a few moments, some people who
will come under this characterisation.
"Knockers' In the church sre 'babes'
and need milk. Paul and Peter both
agree on this point. I suppose critics
are unnecessary, but a critic and a
-veiui4vi aiu w
'knocker' are quite different. The
knocker' always .manifests an envious,
jealous spirit. He ts never pleased
with anything you do. unless you do
Just the thing that pleases him. He
believes In the principles of Josh Bill
ings when he says: People of good
senss are those whose opinions agree
With ours. People who agree with you
never bore you. Ellar Perkins aea a
man is a bore when he talks so much
about himself that you kar.t talk about
yourself. Still I shall go on talking.'
"Everybody feels that they have a
right to criticise a preacher, and aa
Josh Billings says: 'Most ov them do
It just aa a muls criticises things, by
shutting up both eyes and letting drive
with hla two behind legga."
'The jealous, envious church member,
whose chief occupation Is to find fault,
la declared upon the authority of Paul
and Peter, to be a "big baby" that ought
to go to living on milk, get over the
dyspepsia, and go" to speaking well of
other people.
"Sectarian church members are babes

were bigoted. One said: 'I am of Paul.'

MERRILY THE CIGAR STORES
CUT EACH
Perhaps Kipling wasn't thinking of
the Portland cigar stores when he wrote:
"A woman Is only a woman.
But a good cigar Is a smoke."
At any rate that ungallant person
would never have had any trouble In
obtaining his smoke In thla berg. There
lan't another city In the United States
where the cigar stores are more plenti
ful than In Portland.
And there lan't another town of Its
else where so much money haa . been
Invested In such establishments. Noth
ing Is too good for a Portland cigar
dealer when he flta out a new store in
a good location.
Did you ever count the cigar stores on
Washington street T
There will be It between Third and
Seventh In a few weeks.
"Somebody is going to get crushed
in this Jam." said a prominent dealer
the other day. "So much money la be
ing put Into new stores and there's so
many of them that somebody will get
hurt."
"The two big syndicates, the United
Cigar Stores company and M. A. Gunst
and company, are vainly trying to outdo
one another. Just now an unusual num

strife and division among them. I be
lieve In denominational loyalty, but the
Baptist who becomes so narrow that
he cannot see any good In any other
denomination. Is a habe' and needa to
grow In the spirit of his master.
"Backsliders are "babes' and need
milk. We have too many Indifferent
and lukewarm church members who
are more of a hindrance than a help
In advancing the Interests of Christ and
the church. No church can succeed and
have Us rolls padded with members
who sre Inconsistent, indifferent and
negligent.
"Feeble Christians are also "babes'
and need milk. When your Christians
come to me to ask If they can Indulge
In certain worldly amusements, I recog
nise the fsct that they have not reached
that standard of matured judgment
which would make it possible for them
to walk alone. .The church haa a great
many of these members that need to be
taught how to walk.
"Undeveloped church members are
babes that need milk. A Christian
should grow. A man should be a better
Christian one year after his conversion
than be was at the time he was con
verted. The older s Christian is, the
more power he should have In prayer;
more victory over sin; the more beauty
In life and character. But a Christian
cannot develop a holy life on adulter
ated food. When he neglects the daily
study of the Bible and Uvea merely on
the newspapers, the novel and secular
reading, he cannot grow.
"A Chrlstisn should cultivate an ap
petite for 'pure food.' He must live
on the manna of heaven,' the bread of
Ufa,' and the sincere milk of the word,'
If ha Is ever to become a strong Chris
tian." HOLY ROSARY FEAST

Dr. Ghormley of the Central Christian
church took his theme, "Unity In the
Faith," from the text. "There Is one
body snd one spirit even aa ye are
called In one hope of. your calling. The
one Lord, one faith, one baptism. One
God and father of all, who la above all,
and through all, and In you all." He
said :
"The studsnt of nature Is Impressed

The Invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are

OTHER'S THROATS
cigar stores are under . way. The
United people leaaed the Washington
building so thst they could compete
with Schiller on the opposite corner of
Fourth and Washington. To do this a
ladies' suit house has been ohased out,
and soon the clankety-clank of the slot
machines will take the place of the
frou-frou of silk petticoats.
To get even for this, the Gunst com
pany Is spending a lot of money on re
modeling their store at Third and Alder.
The J. R. SmltK company Is putting in
a new store at Fifth and Washington,
one of the best locations In town, and
where they will compete with the Gunst
store on the northwest corner.
One of the finest cigar stores In the
country will be that of Big Blchel and
company, at the northeast corner of
Third and Washington. The other
Blchel store la less than a block and

with plate glass and mahogany fittings

'The Bible attributes to the devil all

dead, upon which both ancient and mod

are communicating with the departed

WHAT IS TRUTH
sraeh Is Oreat Question of Philosophy
at All Ages, Bays Dr. A. A. Morrison.
Dr. A. A. Morrison discussed ths text
"Sanctify them through truth; Thy
word la truth" at Trinity church yes
terday morning. In his sermon he
held that the great question of phil
osophy snd of the sgea had been that of
'What Is TruthT' Jesus knowing the
great welding power of truth had sent
his followers to every part of the world
to preach truth. Through It tha na
tions would be sanctified and saved.
The text had been a prayer for the
unity of God's children for the welding
together of the whole family of God.
To know what truth and to study Its
meaning will lead the human race

study of truth will teach of his teach

Never in History of Portland
Were Rooms in Such Great

TRAVELERS COMING
Rooms Often Engaged Days in Ad
vance by Experienced Travelers
More Modern Hotels An Needed
to Accommodate .the Public.
Never In the history of Portland, with
the exception of last year, when the
exposition was on. have the hotels been
so crowded as they have this year. For
weeks people have been compelled to
wait for rooms, while many have been
turned away to seek lodging at boarding-houses
and second and third-class
hotels. Where these people finally find
rooms In which to stay while In the city
la a myatery, for. the overcrowded con
dition has net only prevailed at the
first-class hotels but In all others, down
to the 10, 20 and 60 cent plsces.
People who are traveling a greater
portlbn of. their time are aware of the
conditions prevailing at the hotels In
Portland and often wire the manage
ment a week ahead for reservations.
Men who have wired only a day ahead
have been, known to wslt a Say at sev
eral of the leading hotels before they
could be accommodated with the kind
of room they desired.
Rooms with a bath are at a premium,
and to hear a traveler whisper Into the
clerk's ear that he haa been on the
train for a week and haa had no chance
to bathe is but a line in the dally com
edy going on at Portland hotels these
days. It la the man who travels about
with an air that he owns every hotel he
stops at that furnishes the greatest
smuaement In the hotels at present.
Clerks sre unsnlmous In saying that
this class of travelers are mostly bluff,
and when they find the hotels crowded
and that their patronage Is not really
required to pay the expenses of the
hostelry, they change their overhearing
manners snd become the meekest sup
plicants before the shrine of the myth
ical bedtamond-studded clerk.
More women have been traveling
alone thla year than ever before in the
history of hotel life In Portland, and
they, too. have added to the amusement
of the dally life. Aa a general thing
these travelers easily adapt themselves
to whatever condition msy present It
self, but the scarcity of rooms st a
late hour of night generally frightens
them. They see prospects of walking
the streets at a late hour hunting for
a place to sleep and conjecture up
visions of nights spent walking about
thai streets. Their imaginations are
usually fertile, and they allow them to
work overtime when they find no room
at the first hotel they apply to.
Question of More Motels.
The continued prosperity which haa
resulted In crowded conditions has again
raised the question, of a new and mod
ern first-class hotel for Portland, but
so fsr aa can be learned no steps have
been taken for Its construction. Sev
eral months ago a rumor was circulated
that a new hotel would be erected at
Council Crest, but hotel men say that
this project has been dropped and that
the men who were supposed to be be
hind It have given up all Idea of build
ing. These seme men agree that a
hotel upon the heights would prove sn
admirable Investment and would attract
fine class of trade.
Hotel men agree that the time la
soon at hand when a new hotel will
have to be4bullt In Portland, one that
will be modern and up to date In every
particular. The hotel men. In comment
ing upon the great number of travelers
who hsve been their guests this year,
declare that tha class of patronage haa
been better than they have entertained
In previous years, which, they say,
