AGEEPINIAN SECT . USED AS A LEVER I)Icriinlntloni Have Divided the , Islands, Each Taking a Certain Territory Cockpit as Rrrt Pro testant Meeting Places. Bev C I. Maxfleld. missionary of the American Baptist Missionary anion, spoke at the Central Baptist church yesterdar morning- of conditions In the Philippine islands, and said in part: "With the success of Dewey in Ma nila bar Philippine islands became 4n open door to western cvUlUon. The American government saw Us op portunity and also recognised Its re- BUpo'nJltthe establishment of courts of Justice, the introduction of oue puo 11 school system, the introducing and enforcing of first-class f&nitarr meas vres. our government is to be con gratulated not only by Its own citi eVns, but by the civilised peoples of the earth. ? -The separation of church and state has really brought the two closer .together. ? '. J' ;.' " Protestant religion got a fooUng in this way: There was. living in Manila a man who had been a missionary in China, but had moved to Manila and gone Into business. His wife having Sled la China he married a Spanlsfi woman In Manila, She understood the language and customs of the peoplo thoroughly, and also their religious condition and inclinations. There were thousands of natives who had become dissatisfied with Roman Catholicism. All they needed to pull, them away from Rome was a leader,. He was read ily found in one Agrlptno. - "The missionary understood his feel ings toward Rome. Be h . had his wife make one of the prettiest robes her trained fingers could dlvise. The 'robe finished, Agripino was sent for and the robe placed upon him by the missionary who said: "Go now and de liver your message.' Agripino went all over his island calling upon the people to throw off the yoke of Rome and be independent Boon thousands wore following the new leader and became irnnwn AT(rinian. The American rovarnment had established' the rule that any town or city wherein a ma . rit mm Arrlninlana could retain the churches and vise versa. In this way the new party came Into the pos session of splendid property. "The missionaries of different de nominations showed good sense in di viding the islands among them, the rresbyterlans taking two or three Islands, the .Baptists two or three, and eo on. The result is we have a splen did system and a fine fellowship. On the island where I am located there are 200,000 peoplo for whose spiritual welfare I am responsible. I have or ganised a large industrial school, the students of which are very helpful to jne in my work. : . "Being desirous to put the Bible In as many hands as possible I Instituted a colnortage campaign. The friends in Seattle sent me a colnortage , wagon. and I bought a pair of ponies, naming them Foul and itarnaoas. -men l ae- rured a moving picture machine and Ktarted on an itinerary or the larger cities, taking some some or tne students with me.

"The ticket to the entertainment was a Bible. All who entered the building . were required to purchase a Bible, though we often let many slip In. "The pictures shown were views Of the life of Christ, the best that could be made.- In no city did we sell-less than 208 copies. In one we sold 1,600, On going from a city we left two stu dents to look after the wounded; for when God shoots 200 or 1,600 bullets into a crowd someone Is sure to be , wounded.

But most YOUNG WOMEN USE FISTS, TO PUT TICKLING REVELERS TO FLIGHT This is a story of Portland's 'Rose Festival that haa remained untold. It pertains to the adventures of four oung ladies from the Colonial house, 'entli and Morrison, durlnir the stirrina hours of Saturday night, and how they engaged singlehanded with three merry male roysterers, putting them to lgno- mmius iiignt. It happened at the corner of Sixth and Washington streets.

Ghormlejr Says They Made Rose Festival Possible. In anticipation of the reunion of the pioneers of the state in Portland dur ing the coming week. Rev. J. F. Ghornv ley, in his sermon at the Central Chris tian church yesterday morning, spoke appreciatively of, the (work of the jmen who came to Oregon in early days and heloed carve out a state, The speaker referred to the events of the Rose .Festival and said that it was through the pioneers that such scenes have been made po the courage of the ossible. He told of early settlers and added: "Tea, we honor these men and women, who have now reached the sunset of life and are looking back over the trail over which they passed. They created a great state yes, one of the greatest of the JJnion. We have the greatest papers, the greatest editors, the great est men, and some of the greatest insti tutions in this oountry. I am proud that I am an American cltlsen, glad that I live In Oregon, and glad that I live in a country which produced such a splendid band of men and women as the pioneers, who shall gather in our city this week to recount the past and to look - into each other's faces once more com for the last time. Their sacrifices were many and great, but their reward is ample compensation for it all. "Who could have looked upon the events of the past week In Portland, witnessed the Rose Festival, showing the greatness of this state, its manufac turing industries, and not remember that theae pioneers made It all possible And we should remember that this whole oountry was developed by the pioneers. When we look upon the badges that tho pioneers will wear on their breasts during the coming week we shall read the whole history of this country of-ours." Hood Kiver Festival.
