THE : OREGON DAILY JOURNAU
SFf GOD THROUGH
At the service of the Epworth M. E.
church it the exposition ground yes
' terdav morning about 13.000 wi raised
? for the frfi tiim of a new church, and
.several hundred dollara more were
added in the evening. Blahop John W.
Hamilton of San Franclaco, who occu-
f.led the pulpit In the morning, took
he lead in raising the money, assisted
by the pastor. Rev. Charles T. Mc
rherson. Much enthualaam was manifested and
Among the subscribers were many of
the young people of the church, and
noma of the children. About one third
of the sura was pledged by the Church
Extension society. The congregation of
the Epworth church Includes the die
banded Clark Street church, and already
owns a lot where the new building will
be placed, at Bavler and Twenty-sixth
t rents.
For his sermon text Blahop Hamilton
chose "1 have a message from OoJ unto
thee," the words used by Ktfud to de
ceive "the fat king" before slaying him.
From thin text the blahop emphasised
three points on being that there la a
God, another that he has a purpose, and
the last that the message bearer should
be the embodiment of the message,
ee Oo4 With Telesoopa.
Bishop Hamilton declared that It la
0 longer necessary to prove that there
Is a God, but too many people have an
. Idee, that God la away off aome where.
'I sometimes read aome of the ser
mons preached by big preachers in the
east, to the newspapers principally,"
aid the speaker, "and in one of these
the preacher suld that science soon
would be able to build a telescope by
which man can look up and see where
God lives and what he la doing. These
preachers go outside the old book for
something to preach about, and they
look outside of that book and outside
of this world for God. If people only
knew that God was with every minister
In this city the churches would not liolj
the people."
Illustrating another point of his ser
mon. Bishop Hamilton saia mat wnen
the butcher and all others who put busi
ness above their obligations to God and
man."
LIFE'S ASSETS
Dr.
Broughrr Speaks of Other Val
uables Besides Money.
T)r. Brougher preached to a well filled
house at the White Templa yesterday
morning on "Life's Assets and Liabili
ties." His text waa taken from St. Luke
12:12, "A man's life conslsteth not In
the abundance of the thlnga he posses
Beth." The speaker sold: "While I do not
disparage nor depreciate the real calam
ity that cornea tnrougn tne loss or
money, yet this morning I wish to hold
up for your consideration the thought
that there are aome assets of life of
supreme value that cannot be measured
on a financial basis.
"A good physique snd health are of
Inestimable value. If a man la born
weak and nerveless Instead of vigorous
and rugged he, Is liable to Impede rather
than help the progress of society.
"Another great asset of life Is a well
developed mind. Failure la often based
upon the want of knowledge. The larg
est wsstes of a nation are through Ig
norance. When Kan Francisco was well
nlght destroyed, everyone who had a
knowledge of men knew that she would
live again. In the brains of men and
women left In that city was to be
found a more lieautlful city. There
were skyscrapers In their brains.
"A clear conscience to discern the
difference between right and wrong Is
another valuable asset of life. It Is
better to have a clear conscience without
cash than to have the cash without a
clear conscience. More fundamental
than silver and gold is a conscience that
approves the right.
"Another asset Is a pleasing personal
ity and a tactful manner, l'eoplu who
lack the ability to get ajong with other
people, to keep things running smoothly,
will frequently tear down as much with
one hand os they build up with the
other.
"But buck of all and underneath all
them should be the asset of a true

of the Interesting statements made yes
terday at a mass meeting of members
of the Methodist church who gathered
In the Taylor Street church to discuss
home mission work ami the dangers o
unrestricted Immigration.
The customs, abilities and eccentric!
tlea of the foreigners who come across
the ocean were referred to by Dr. J. O
Wilson, presiding bishop of the north
west district of the Philadelphia con
ference. He said the Methodists of
this country must arise and endeavor to
Christianize these thousands who are
arriving monthly. Ir. Charles Hoswell
assistant corresponding secretary of the

was another speaker.
DREAM OF THE AGES
Difficult Matter to Be a Christian
Without Clirlat.
Rev. E. R. Hermlston. with the chapel
car "Immanuel. preached at the I en
tral Baptist church. Kast Ankeny and
East Twentieth streets, yesterday morn
ing on "The Dream of the Ages." The
speaker selected two texts: "What
Think Te of Christ?" and "What Will
You Do With Jesus? rha question of
what we will do with Jesus will depend
largely upon wnat we thing or him.
said the speaker "You may be a Mor
man without Rrlgham J oung, you may
be a Mohammedan without Mahomet;
von may be a Ruddhlst without Muddha,
but you can not be a Christian without
Christ."

Reformation can never be worked by
physical force, only by spiritual force.
Physical and spiritual force can never
be compared as they are such entirely
different qualities. Physical force is
absolutely powerless in the process of
regeneration. At present from the time
a man is brought up for trial, he is Im-
firessed with the fact that he is a crlm
nal; the state undertakes to prove It,
and he is made to believe It even before
the evidence is submitted. He is held
up to scorn and thrown into imprison
ment. If the money spent for the keeping of
criminals could be devoted to the cure
of ' crime, wonders would be accom
plished. So far the only efforts that
have been made In that direction have
been by the .luvenile courts which have
accomplished a good work.

J Peculiarly Interesting Incident At-
I tending Minister's Sermon.
j A stirring meeting was held at the
I Centenary Methodist Episcopal churcn
j yesterday afternoon In the Interests of
the board of home Missions anil church
extension. Bishop Thoburn whs called
to the chair and presided, while other
bishops attending the convention In
Portland were called upon for short ad
dresses. Dr. McConnell was one of the speak
ers, and he scored a peculiarly impres
sive hit. lie was telling a story of a
youth who came to Chaplain McCabe
in Chicago many S'ears ago and asked
for aid, for he was In the great city
without friends or money. McCnbe.
who afterwards became a bishop, nc
the lad $20 and told him to go went."
He got ntf far as Montana and began
spreading the gospel among the Indians
While speaking Dr. W. W. Van Orxdel
of Montana came into the meeting.
"There is the boy now." the upoaker
exclaimed, and Dr. Van Orsdel was taken
to the platform while the congregation
could hardly refrain from cheering Dr.
Van Orsdel said he had Just come from
the meeting In the Oregon building,
where the Epworth church is holding Us
meetings, and announced that 3.ono had
been raised to buUd a new Epworth
churcn.
Banking methods and banking man
agers were severely criticised by speak
ers at the People's Forum, In the Mul
key building, last evening. Dr. Jonah
R Wise questioned the propriety of
giving so great a license to the national
bank to handle and control funds In
excess of Its capital stock, surplus and
note Issue. He said these three funds
comprise the bank's power to repay
other people's money. He said the
laws highly, favor the banks by per
mitting them to Issue bank notes and
loan these at exorbitant rates of In
terest to the people, and that the usury
charged by some banks would put an
orthodox shylock to the blush.
C. J. McAllister urged that the gov
ernment should buy gold bullion or
silver at the current rate per ounce.
and pay for It with the government's
promissory notes, patting the latter In
circulation and holding the bullion or
coining it. It was the opinion of all
the speakers that the government
should increase the volume of circu
lation medium and at the same time
hedge the banks about with safeguards
that would protect the people who de
posit their money in these banks.

PROMOTERS TO

SOCIALISM A CHAOS
Success of Movement Would Bring
About Revolution.
"Socialism struck its main roots In
the French revolution. Socialism m.iy
be rightfully defined as revolutionary
agitation against capital. The prole
tariat the homeless floating population
of our great cities, unrestrained by re
ligion, looks with a greedy eye at the
savings of the thrifty."
These words were a part of the In
troduction to the sermon by Rev. Fath
er Gregory at the 8a 0 red Heart church
last night. v '
Father Gregory' took an advanced
stand against Socialism, declaring that
its success would result -In the destruc
tion of Individual initiative, the death
of religion, and would sweep the home
from the earth and substitute chaos and
revolution for the nrpwnt euf nh!ll,o1
order of society. He admitted the
need of drastic reforms, but said that

with Judgment had the power to mako

At the Heilig theatre yesterday after
noon Christian Scientists of Portland
entertained their friends with a lecture
by Francis J. Fluno,- M. D. C. S. D., a
member of the Christian Science board
of lectureship of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist. In Boston. A largo
audience gathered to hear the address
and were provided with seats in the
main floor, while the congregation of
the two branches of the Scientist church
in the city gathered in the balconies and
on the stage.
The speaker discussed his subject for
upwards or an nour ana a half and
went into the history of Christian
Science and gave an outline of the
creed. The speaker said Christian Scl
ence taught that If one was led by the
spirit he was not under the dominion of
material law. He said that -observance
In and guidance by tho higher or divine
law made a man strong and able to
bear the lead of the world with ease
and sureness. Christian Science came
to heal the world of all error and not to
heal the sick alone. It teaches that no
1 one neeas to be in poverty or want. It
teaches that there is one mind only and
mat is me mina or uoa.
Christian Scientists have no quarrel
with the phymclan, said the speaker,
It does not come to criticise one thing
more man anotner. 11 is neither union
nor nonunion. Christian Science comes
as Christ came of old with nothing but
love in us message.
