spoke at the Central Baptist church
yesterdar morning- of conditions In the
Philippine islands, and said in part:

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

"The missionaries of different de
nominations showed good sense in di
viding the islands among them, the
rresbyterlans taking two or three

WHAT PIONEERS DID.
Rev. J. F. 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."
