Yesterday was a great day at the
White Temple. The building wm
crowded morning, afternoon and night
and there were services almost every
hour of the day from 10 a. m. to l
p. m. Fully 150 people signified a de
cision to lead a Christian lire and con
fess Christ publicly, and scores of oth
ers expressed an Interest In the sub
ject of becoming Christians.
Perhaps no one meeting was more
.gratifying to the evangelist than the
men's meeting in the afternoon, which
filled the Temple upstairs and down.
This service aroused a great deal of
enthusiasm and the speaker was fre
quently greeted with applause during
me aeiivery or ms discourse.
There will be only one service today.
It will be tonight at 7:45 o'clock and
the subject will be "The Preacher and
the Politician." On Tuesday there wiU
be services tl I km. Dr. Riley will
begin at that time' a series of "Vaga
ries and Verities," with a sermon on
"Speaking in Unknown Tongues."
Services at Baksr Theatre.
Tuesday at 12:16 p. ra., the first of a
series of four sermons will be deliv
ered at the Baker theatre. These noon
day meetings are planned specially for
the benefit of business men and women
who cannot attend the other day ser
vices. There will be special music
under the direction of Mr. Martin and
Dr. Riley will speak on the subject
"The Asslnlnlty of Atheism."
Tuesday afternoon at S o'clock there
will be a service for women only and
the subject of the sermon will be "A
Wife and Mother A Model in Both."
All these services are open to all
people of all denominations and are be
ing largely attended by the members of
all the churches of the city. This will
be the last) week and it is believed the
great week In this series of meetings.
In speakln? to men yesterday after
noon Dr. Riley's theme was ''Playing
the Fool," from the text (I Samuel
36:21): "Behold I have played the fool
and have erred exceedingly."
He called atentlon to the fact that
Saul played the fool by self-conceit. He
was conceited about his size, thought
he must be a great one because he was
a big on. The preacher asserted that
a man's mental and moral stature was
not subject to cubic measure. Some
little men are great. Some big men are
small,
Physical proportions, while they are
a blessing from God are not proof of
kindliness. David was much smaller
than Saul but had a royal spirit in
him. Again, he was conceited about his
shrewdness. He tried to aid David de
ceive Bamuel and even God. Every such
attempt was uncovered. Though "hand
Join In hand the wicked shall not go
unpunished." The man who Is shrewd
' enough to escape judgment has not yet
been born.
Acme of Conoeit.
Again he was conceited about his
moral character. He essayed to be his
' ,n brlest. Many others try to be their
own priest, thus putting Christ away
and professing to be righteous without
the application of His blood. And yet
' It Is plainly written that without the
shedding of blood there Is no remission
of sin.
When Dr. Riley came to the question
of men's sins he said: "The great trinity
of Iniquity is expressed in three words
dishonesty, drunkenness and adultery.
Each of these is covered by his plain
command. 'Provide things honest In
the sight of all men.' Commercial
shrewdness may succeed for a time but
dishonesty will destroy any man that
follows it."
Regarding drunkenness, the speaker
Insisted that the preaching of temper
ance in all things was a falsehood. The!
word or liocl teacnes temperance in good
things, total abstinence from evil
things. We are told not to look upon
the wino even when It Is red In the
cup. The safest man concerning the
subject of drink Is the man who never
touches a drop.
Regarding adultery, the speaker de
clared the seventh commandment Is not
out of date. The arguments men pre
sent for their conduct are eondemn
able. The plea that these passions have
been given to us and so we are not re
sponsible Is an utter falsehood. They
are the sources of power when properly
employed and the occasion of crime and
degradation when abused. They are
?irts from Ood but not for evil rather
or good. The statement that the one
sinned against has fallen anyhow only
shows to what depths man can descend.
"If I see thugs knock a man down In
the street, leaving him In a pool of his
own blood, will I be Justified If I give
him an additional kick? Can I excuse
myself before the Judge by saying he
was already senseless? The man who
sins against a fallen sister is even
worse than the man who sins against
the upright. Her previous deception
weakened her life, made her the more
easy to yield and the deed of him who
pushes her the deeper the more damnable."
And the band played on.
To a llttls.bunoh of musicians be
ginners of Portland belongs a Caraegls
hero medal for each of them. 'x
Far out on the Ltnnton road beyond
the majestlo bsjUdlngs which still
stand as but a memory of the exposi
tion of three summsra past, and not
far from where the undulating waters
of the Willamette sweep moss covered
banks, and In the midst ofhundreds of
commanding trees ages old and straight
and too beautiful to behold out there
on top of one of the ridges of hills
which go to make tip the range which
continues on and on for miles as a guide
to the silent waters seeking their level
Into the deep blue sea -out there far
up In the hills among the trees and
shrubs, a little band of wandering musi
cians has chosen a sacred spot to go
and practice whenever they feel It cora-
tntf on. It umiAllv. comes on flundav. '
The musicians are all Italians. ManyJ
of them are owners or or are employe!
on truck gardens along tne ltnnton
road. So when they organised a-ew
weeks ago they found that they had no
place In which to play. A hall In the
city was considered. But Immediately
suggested the Idea of taking to the
woods. And to the woods they took.
And so on Sundays when Portland
people have been driving along the Linn
ton thoroughfare out beyond Guilds
lake they have been both startled and
pleased by faint notes of musio wafted
through the trees, across fields and
echoing and reechoing over the waters
of the Willamette. And as they have
driven on, the notes have become more
distinct. Then the conclusion has been
reached by the listeners that the music
came from a phonograph. .
Then the playing of brass becomes
even more distinct the phonograph idea
Is banished. A drum is heard. Also
cymbals. And a snare drum. Then
horns cornet, bass, trombone, and all
that. But the conglomeration of notos
Is so far away that If any given tune
Is being played It is impossible for
those in tne road to make It out.
Last Sunday some one Investigated
these strange and unsophisticated
sounds of harmonv or whatever thnv
were which came from over the hills.
He crept up along the cliffs of the al
most perpendicular hills and In and
around the trees and shrubs and the
ferns and the old moss-covered logs. As
he crawled the muslo came nearer and
nearer. At last It was located. It was
on the Summit of the hill and in the
midst of underbrush.
There on a few ancient stumps of
trees that had met their fate sat the
musicians. Each bad a contented look
of extreme happiness on bis face, a
bandana about his sunburned neck, a
sneei or musio on a bougn neia by a
frail twig, and an instrument of soms
Kind or another elasped between the
fingers which, during the week, plucked
weeds from the gardens and gathered
raaisnes ana turnips for the townsman.
And as the lonesome but hamiv musi
cians played on,' the city man, having
solved the mystery, turned abruptly ana
i en over ui ciin.

EDDYISM DENOUNCED. .
from Mrs. Eddy's "Science and the
Senses," as follows:
"With the slaying of the senses you
will be able to demonstrate that man Is
an It, an undefinable nonenlty that has
no self-consciousness, self-cognlzing be

Concluding bis Quotation. Dr. Lapham
said:
"Upon this basis, the destruction of
every faculty of appreciation and sense
consciousness, she proposes to destroy
death, sin and disease.
"The second proposition is that God
Is impersonal Uod is principle God
does not exist as being. In other words,
God is the divine element, the divine It,
the eternal Idea of which man is the
thought. 'God is not a person who can
say I, or be addressed as thou.' So,
whenever the word 'God' or 'Father' is
used by Mrs. Eddy you must remember
that It has no reference to personal be
ing; and as entity or being cannot be
conceived of aside from personality.
God Is blotted out of existence as we
conceive htm.
"The third step, Christ Is principal.
while Jesus was a man or whatever she
may conceive man to be, and in harmony
with this method or destruction Mrs.
Eddy proceeds to obliterate the whole
material world of sense manifestation.
all that knowledge resting upon evidence

but a mortal illusion.' The degradation
of prayer to the level of mere mental
medicine is a fact the uninitiated must

cert given by The Dalles club band,
and a baseball game between the Hood

cial & Athletic club team. The first

ALBANY READY TO
MAKE EAGLE SCREAM
(Special Dispatch to The Journal, 1
Albany, Or., June 29. Albany is
ready to make the eagle scream In gen
uine American fashion. The program
for the three days of sport, July 2, 8
and 4, has been arranged and shows a
varied and interesting schedule of
events. The city Is putting forth every
possible effort and extends a most
hospitable welcome to all her prospec
tive guests.
Ileillg "The Rejuvenation of Aunt
Mary."
If it weren't for her boarding-house
Miss May Robson might have figured
painfully last evening on Just how she
was going to get back to New York.
There weren't more than 60 people in
the Hellig to see "The Rejuvenation
of Aunt Mary." But Miss Robson has
a boarding-house and it pays the usual
good round boarding-house dividend
they say, and she really doesn't have
to work.
Her coming to the coast this sum
mer was an after thought and as a re
sult her management was unable to
secure favorable bookings that Is the
explanation given for the fact, that she
was allotted but one night, and that a
Sunday, , In Portland.
Her comedy is a dramatization by
Miss Robson and Anne Warner or
the book by the same nam. Dramati
zations of novels as such belong to
the long-buried period of our dramatic
history to the era when "Richard Car
vel" flourished and "Sherlock Holmes"
was a mere boy. So of course, "The
Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" plays only
a minor part In Miss Robson's offering.
The attraction is Miss Robson herself.
As a character actress her abilities are
such as to have Kiven her a unlaue
place on the stage. She Is mistress
of every crook and nook of the char
acter actress' art. And she Is the pos
sessor of a real sense of humor In spite
of that boarding-house. ,
Aunt Mary comes to town to visit
her nephews, who keep bachelor quar
ters In New York. They decide to re
form the elderly, crabbed but kind
hearted spinster. They feed her lobster
and cocktails and all the other things
that the unwary visitor to New York
is supposed to marvel over. Aunt Mary
marvels Just as she ought to, thereby
proving that the days of the rural
comedy are still not dead ones. She
begins to liven up, she assumes the
naughty habits of the city folks. She
ends up by smoking cigarettes, acquir
ing late hours, a figure and a head
ache. But she Is young again and her
audiences grow young as they watch
her.
Her company Is excellently balanced
and there are no weak spots. The en
tertainment is good. Mlas Robson Is
excellent Everything was favorablo
but the else of the audience. But if
Miss Robson and Aunt Mary return
to Portland we promise to do better
about that next time.
leading members of the company have
gone to their summer castles to rest
until fall a number of the old favorites
are lefi and will hold nightly celebra
tion at the Third street house until
the Fourth.
There are a great many extraneous
acts and songs and dances and things
upon the part of members of the com
pany. Miss Seymour has some good
songs of a summer variety, Mr. How
ard Russell does some comedy work
that is entertaining and the other peo
ple, Mr. and Mrs. Gleason Miss Kent,
Mr. Bowles and Mr. Dwire, are as usual.
Mr. Gleason plays Snaggs, an innkeep
er, Mr. Kussell Is Grimes, the brakeman
and Miss Seymour, Miss Teddy. Mr.
Dwlre is a prize fighter.
There are always enough people who
enjoy a Hoyt farce to make the pre
sentation of one a good business movo
upon the part of a manager. "A Bunch
of Keys" has been seen by everybody
long ago, but the Individual actors at
the Baker have some novelties of an
amusing sort that makes the farce
still lively and presentable.
