At the Flriit rresbyterlan rhurrli yes-
terday morning the pator. Dr. William
' Hiram FoulkiK pn arhed upon the theme.
Th Reversals .if 5od." taking for his
text Cortnthiatii 1 :27-28. "God chose the
foolish thing of the world, tlmt he
might put to shame them that are
" wise; and God chose the weak things
' of the world to put to shame the
things that arc strong Yea. and
tie thing that are not that he might
. l.rln. In nauffht the thing, that arc."
fiod an Anarchist 7" began the
preacher. "Must our established con
ception of a God Infinite, eternal and
unchangeable In His being and at-
tributes be surrendered for the reality
. of a captious deity, lining snd choos
" tag folly snd weakness?
"Unlike the reversal of men, how-
ever, are the reversals ? (Jod. For we
. read In the text, (Jod Those." What
aver the seeming mutations of his plan,
however utterly and almost Irrationally
'ji lie appears to go back upon himself,
the act remains that tho divine re
' - vcrsals are a part of the divine order,
- that Ood does not confound himself,
that he does not reverse his owi- wta-
dom and power; that he only turns to
: confusion man and hla machination In
order that as Paul "ays, 'No flask.
' should glory before God.' "
'. After alluding to several Old Testa
ment figures of speech whera Ood Is
declared to "turn man to destruction";
where he la said to Vhave turned thalr
curse Into a blessing," and the "shadow
took up In de-
of death Into morning," tha miniater
fiassed by them all and took up In de
all the three-fold reversal which Paul
uttered. First th reversal of them that
are wis by foolish things.
"Is not here a premium placed on
follvS" queried tha preacher, then pro
tn anawer br showlnr that What
' Ood reversed was not wiadom by folly
but wise men tf roonsn minga. ven
tn the lowest orders of life, this process
Is going on," aald tha minister. Men
ka hivi hMii content to taka the fool
ish things of thla world, the crude oil
and coal tar ana pitcn Dtenaa nm amy w
shale beds, things upon which the world
tn itm wlarlom has been trampling for
ntiiHa. have become rich. Still the
truth was only Illustrated by-this fig
ure. It waa in me nigner rwme oi
thought that Paul was moving.
Ha was
dwelling upon the absorDtng memos or
nwi mnA hl nurnosea and ud In those
' heights of thought and experience he
saw Ood using the foolishneas of the
cross to con-set the wisdom of this
world. The preacher then made pointed
. application of this reversal to Oie slt
. uatlon of the church In the world today
and asked whether Ood had ceased to
reverse wise men by the foolishneas of
the crose of Christ.
The second reversal was that of weak
things ever against the things that are
strong. - I nia is nu m? wceu v iwin
' mon experience, urged the man in the
pulpit, but It is we iruin ot mw. men
nnl learn to be strong In Ood by being
' weak In themselves. Jiu-jitsu, the Jap
anese art of wrestling, was used as an
' Illustration of this specific truth The
4 conclusion of this point was, n the
i mind of the minister, after a full pre
sentation of its spiritual application
'that It Is Infinitely and eternally bet
ter to bo weak In Ood than to be strong
without him."
- The- last reversal Is that of tho
things that are by the things that are
1"flOt ...
'What Is so real as the course of hu
man events." propounded the prencher.
"The wosJd Is, the ocean Is. the sky la,
eating and drinking and sleeping are
until Ood comes with his final reversal
and turns Into naught the things that
are by the things that are not."
In detail the speaker then showed
' tiow real were the victories of faith In
4 the unseen, and urged in these days of i
unrest, faith' in the foundations of
things and confidence In Ood. In con
clusion the question waa thrust home
wbv are there divine reversals?
the answer was clear and specific
In order that Ood might reveal his
more glorious wisdom snd power, thai
disorder might pass awsy and tne oruer
of Hod be realized.
ti... ni..,iti,n la not whether you will
enter Into the divine reversal, said Dr.
Foulkes. ns a closing word, but how
you will enter in. on God's side or on
the side of the thlnRs that are brought
to naught."

Ihnjamin Fay Mills Eulogises Am-
erica's IlHoved Essayist.
"nalph Waldo Kmorson. the Trophet
of the New World." was the subject
of an address last evening by Benjamin
Fay Mills In the Women of the Wood
craft hall. Yesterday morning he
spoke In the same hall on "Between
the Animals and the Angels," and In
the afternoon on "Scientific Psychic
Hwerarch."
In part. Mr. Mills said last night:
"A distinguished Jew ssld of Emer
son: 'lie was a better Hebrew than
the Hebrews.' A great Hindu aald: 'He
was a geographical mistake. He
whs a Hindu born in America,' and to
day Emerson Is taught In Hindu
school, with the explanation that he
was formerly a great Hindu sage, re
incarnated In America, to help dissi
pate the spiritual darkness or the west
ern world. Henry Ward Beecher asked
him if he could tell In eating beef
which ox It came from, and when Em
erson said. 'No.' Beecher aald that was
fortunate for him as he (Beecher) had
always been feeding his people Emer
son, and they had not round It out.
Dean Hawley aald that In hla visit to
America he heard but one preacher in
every enlightened pulpit and that waa
Emerson. 1

of his books were sold; In Chicago,
2.20O.000 and In Boston over 4,000,000.

He himself waa tha teacher. As onu

Terrible Liquor Craving I
How Orrine Destroys All Desire for
whiskey and Beer
Ths terrible craving for liquor is a
symptom of disease and to overcome It
the dlaease itself should be treated in a
scientific way. When one has used
whiskey, beer or other stimulants for a
long time, the nerve cells have become
accustomed to the effects of the stimu
late and demand liquor in order to per
form their duties. If the nerve cells
are properly treated, the craving for
liquor will be destroyed.
It Is In this way. that Orrlns curea
alcoholism by supplying to the nerve
cells the strength needed, thus destroy
ing the desire for liquor. It eradicates
every particle of the terrible liquor
craving, lmparta new atrength and vigor
to the whole system, and restores the
general health. Treat I so on "Drunken
ness," free on request. The Orrine Co.,

So successful has Orrine been that In
every box is a registered guarantee
wnicn entitles you to a refund of your
money If Orrine falls to effect a cure.
Never before was a treatment for the
liquor habit sold in this way. A guar
antee like thla ahows the faith of the
discoverer of Orrine snd the agents who
handle It, the leading druggists every
where. Orrine la In two forms, No. 1, which
can be given secretly in food or drink;
No. 2 In pill form for those who desire

Referring to present financial condi
tions, Dr. Alorrison ssld that these con
vulsions are bound to come, and that
this la not a time to mourn, but should
be regarded as an awakening to our
nigner powers. Just as many people
ihii 10 appreciate neaun anil take it
as a matter of course, yet make every
possible effort to recover it when over
taken by illness, so times of calamity
In the business world should result In
a greater spiritual development and an

when he took for his subject "I'anlcs 1 au the state must all adapt themselves
and Their Cure." The siwuker made me iruin or uod
his . address applicable to the present
financial condition throughout the conn
trv and exhorted his hearers to have
faith in the bnnka of Portland, holding
that the bankers were Just as honest
todav as they had been two months afio
anil that the banks were Just as sound.
The speaker sold that should nil tho
people having money deposited In banks
rush to the Institutions and withdraw
their balances It would mean the ruin of
any bank in any city in the country
under the present conditions. The
cause of the stringency lv at the door
of the New York institutions who wero
holding the monev due to the west.
The Portland Institutions were solvent
and perfectly able to take care of them
selves snd of their depositors provided
the latter acted calmlv and with rea
son, withdrawing only such funds as
were needed for Immediate use.
He urged his hearers to consider their
fellows and to do that which was for
the good of all. thus doing themselves
the greatest good. He held that the
banks and bankers of Portland deserve
confidence and should have It.
FOUNDATION OF LIFE.
Dr. Morrison Says It Is No Time to
- Monro Now.
"Whosoever shall seek to save his
life shall lose it; and whesoever shall
lose his life shall preserve It." St Luke,
1 7 '33.
From the foregoing text, Dr. A. A.
Morrison, rector of Trinity church,
preached an Impressive sermon yester
day morning, emphasizing the Idea that
life must lie rounaea on mm h ihwb,
and that while we find that life is com
plicated, it Is really based upon very
fundamental principles. That so long
as we conserve our genius and Intellect
and power for purely selfish interest
we shall surely come to disaster. Until
we learn to love our neighbor as our
selves we shall suffer. So long as a
man has food in his cupboard, a fire in
A SUNSHINE-MAKER.
Joseph Had Much to Complain of
Hut laughed Instead.
"A Gifted Young Man Who Had a
Hard Time," was the theme of a serion
delivered by Kev. E. 8. Bolllngerof
the Highland Congregational church
lust night. The sermon was one ef a
series entitled "Pictures of Young Men
From Uod's Gallery," and was taken
from Genesis. xxxvll:20, "Behold This
Dreamer Cometh. Det I's Slay Him."
Joseph waa the character taken t illus
trate the theme and Rev. Mr. Bollinger
said In part:
"Joseph was a fellow whom every
normal soul admires. He went through
life as a sunshine-maker. He bad much
cause to complain, but he laughed more
than he cried. He believed that life's
uie was loaded on the side of good. He
had a charm about him that made the
blue-dcvll fly at every turn of life.
While he was a dreamer he nevertheless
had gifts that were worth more to the
world than the genius of cornering val
ues In the direction of financial Inter
ests. Had his gifts lain in the direction

"The Individual depositor in a bank is

i in his sermon last night, which was
' largely devoted to a discussion of thi
financial (i mat ion.
Three little broken hearts are flut
tering about somewhere In Portland.
They are the property of three big.
strong men. Vp norr In Seattle are
three other little hearts, not broken but
badly bent. All this was brought about
by the visit of the nine Hawaiian girls
to Portland. The men and Cupid did
the rest.
Other hearts, possibly, are fluttering
among the members of the sterner sex
of Portland, but so far the facts haven't
been brought to light. But three of
them are In a bad way. sure.
Cupid Is a hard worker. He makes
things easy for the Husceptible. Cupid
Is always exercising himself and his
blood is everlastingly full of excitement
perhaps this is why he Is pictured
with only a few clothes on. But any
way, Cupid does his work and he did It
well when the little (jnes from the far
away Islands made a three weeks' visit
to Portland.
Hundreds of men three of them in
C articular met the girls. They woed,
ut they didn't win. There were buggy
rides, theatre parties, after tha. opera
suppers and ' moonlight strolls. Then
during odd moments the girls sang
songs In their native tongue to the men
of Portland. Their words were sweet,
pretty, fasclnntlng. The men were en
tranced. And then the fair ones went
away.
So up in Seattle this week they are
endeavoring to repair their shattered
hearts. In Portland other repairs are
being made by men whose blood pump
ers have recently been disarranged.
And so the game or. love wltij cupld
as the dealer goes merrily on. Down
In Honolulu is a happy kanaka several
of them he knows his love in the
states is true to him alone.
