JOY HUST FILL : CIISTIMI LIFE -Religion's Great Purpose Is , to Pestroy Sorrow, Says Pastor.,' ;x ' Cherfuless fford stronghold for soul, declares Rev. vLuther B. Dyott in communion sermon At First Con rrevaUoa church. 1 ; Ths Joy of tbs.lord." wm tho topic . chosen br Dr. Luthsr R. Dyott for hi communion service sermon at the First Congregational chnrch yesterday mera ln. i t Twenty-one new member were total of 150 enrolled durlne the last r received Into- the church making; a total of 150 enrolled during the last seven communion services. In his sermon vr, Pyott said in part: K ' "Joy belongs" to normal and sentient life. It is the perorattve of life. When Ufa Is destitute f Its own Innocent Joy, eomethin ; has sons wrong and ; Ood himself . Is concerned . that the wrong shall give place to the right and that all livlnir creatures shail share with ths Creator In having pleas? arable feelings 'arising from the ex pectation. or the realisation of some f ood which ts the assuranes of Joy. t Is a great thought of God that It should.be so. It emanates from his ! goodness, evolves in-his powers, oper ates through his providence, and ends In his glory. The great work of re ligion is to remove the things destruo t tlvo f life and to jesrus j-nd res tors life with Joy. God, the father, 'has Joy In living. In loving, in serving, and j In contemplating the final outcome of 'all things. He cannot fall. Were he ' to fall at the point of that failure tie would cease to be God. ; -'' '? ' "Jesus Christ, . the son, was. called . the man of sorrows when he was here upon earth, but for the Joy that was . set before him he endured the cross, -i despised the shame, triumphed - and took his place t , the tright hand of the throne of God.- He had,. even dur ing his sojourn here on earth, a joy i deeo beneath - all - his sorrows and cares, . which came from his being one. witn ooo; tne rattier. , to his oiscipies he spoke of that joy.' He told them 1 that they 'might have it, he told them : how they might have It, and how they might retain it .. , . ' ' 1 Beprodaes Christ's Ufs. ' "Christians are not only followers of Christ, but they reproduce his life, as jie reproduced, tne lire or uoa, In this reproduction content Joy. of life is Its essential The Christian religion does not isolate and exempt its adher ents from bearing the burdens and suf : ferlng sorrow, but deeper than all these tnings is tne joy or tne lora abiding in ; the life of a child of God, nd this joy : becomes strength. The Joy ; of the IxrJ is your strength. To glvo a tnore literal translation of the text we should say: The Joy of ? Jehovah is your stronghold.' , Every soul must have a Stronghold. First,' to , overcome-, those . things which spoil life, and make men . weak.- W,e are living in times that try the souls of men. Weaklings go down and blame others and quarrel with cir cumstances and complain that their lot ' is hard in life. But character is mora than the crisis of life, and every one may Teach the place where he is not . simply 'the creature i. of environment, but, in some majestic sens he is the v creator of environment. ' ' ''it is a law of physics that the body shall meet and overcome resistance be cause the power in the body is greater than the power 'of resistance. , The same is true with, the law of grace. Tempta tion is not a sin, . It is a test. The test imptles that there is something good In that which is worth testing. When the Jov of the Ixrd Is oup strength we. overr .. come our temptations and know the Joy - of triumph. It is - written: -To him that overcometh will I give to eat ; of the tree of life, which is in the Para dise of God. That Paradise of Cod Is . within us. That tree of life Is the frult ful satisfaction -of t tho inner triumph : In knowing the Joy ' of the Iord. The , Joy of the Lord is the strength of tri umph. ".A grain. It la the strength of service. One is not in the world merely to enjoy religion in subjective pleasure. It is not bo much a question .as to what we can get out. of religion as It Is. a mat ter oi What we can -put into it, and , what we can do through it.

E. Nelson Al len delivered a prelude to the sermon on ths subject. "Shall Women Boose I" He said in part: " . ; v'The manager of the Bungalow thea tre takes it greatly to heart that five nlghtoned women should be humiliated by arrest for boosing in a notorious liquor dispensary. They seemed to suf fer no particular humiliation for the boosing, but were greatly chagrined at their sudden notoriety. It Is safe to say that most hlghtoned people would prefer to see their daughters in the grave, rather than have them become the habitues ' of such resorts as the Turn Halle. The increase of drunkenness among women Is becoming a matter of serious alarm. "A dispenser of liquor in the Quelle restaurs nt of this city reports that they sell liquor to five women to one man and"lhat if it were -notfor- w men patronage they would be com pelled to close their doors. The liquor; men know that if it were not for wo men patronage and for the-presence of women . in and around the saloon, a large part of their revenue would be cut off and many would be put out of business, and for this reason they are making a desperate fight with the council to maintain their existence and all .this In the face of their sol emn resolution that they propose to re form the business' and curtail its ob jectionable features. , "The only effective reformation oMhe business is utter-annihilation and we warn liquor men now if they persist In conducting their business, on the plane of, the dive' and the brothel, that a day of swtft retribution is soon to over take - them. No thin will more surely nor more quickly bring about their ut ter, destruction in -this cltv than the demands which they are now making or tne city counriL Ana wnen they have compassed their own destruction they will have no one to blame but themselves and their misguided friends." TAKES COUNCIL TO TASK Does Not . Represent City's Con- science, Says Preacher. "Ctvlo, Righteousness and the Cltv 'Council" was thesubject of sn address delivered yesterday1 afternoon before the T. M. C. A. by Rev. W. H. Foulkes, pas tor of , the First Presbyterian church. In his address the speaker censured the city council for its vote on the amend ment to the women In saloon ordinance and declared - that from this time on there would be a war waged between the forces maklnsr for the moral welfare of the city and those working for a reign of immorality. The speaker said, among other things: "There are a few principles which are vital to the civte relations of every man, but I shall name but two this afternoon, tho greatest good to the greatest num ber, and the greatest personal liberty consistent with the . welfare of the greatest number. "Down underneath all else is personal righteousness. "While it Is true that men are to fulfull their obligations and are to give' an honest day's toll for the wages they receive, it , Is nevertheless also true that there are worse things than wearing tattrred clothes on one's body. "I say that cities have aa rood gov ernment as they deserve, but I will not say as good government ss the voters want.

Hill S12.64S.OOO for thewOrk ;done by him on the Spokane, Portland Seattle last year, according to the annual report q -the Great North ern railroad. The report shows that the Hill tines have been able to do more construction work than almost any Other system in the country, in spite of tho . hard times. ;; V There ' was . Issued in -the ' course of the fiscal : year 60,00,000 of stock and it was the mtfney, obtained from this source that enabled Hill to carry on his extensive work. In the construc tion of various short lines and branches 17.123.000 was exriended. For too con struction of lines lir Canada $8,109,000 was used. -For new, equipment v.no, 000 was spent and ' $4,440,000 for, 1m nrnvftmAntfl. - In the renort of President Louis W.

Our council has taken a decided Hand br a vote or almost two to one, ana cias saia that clvlo rlsnteousness snau not pre vail, and that decency is not to be de sired. , Tho sale, of intoxlcatins Ilauor Is not the only thing we are fighting, but It nas associated nseii witn au otner evils, belna a sister to the sealal evil, gam bling, bribery and corruption. Btrango as it may seem. I take the recent ac tion of the cltv council to be an ex pression of the clvlo conscience of the people of - Portland. And just because or tnat tning some or us are saying, uoa nave mercy on rortiana. I lm4 a pleasant talk with Council man Baker at the close of the last coun cil meeting. He said that with his col leagues he was there as a representative of all the people of the city, and that he did not rfpresetjt the churches alone, nor any other special class. But, gen tlemen, till Is not a. church Issue. It is a moral Issue. The city coumcil does not represent a majority of tho people Of Portland. It does not represent the awakened conscience of this town. "Mr. Baker said to me that I didn't know what the public sentiment of this city is. lie seems to think that we are in caged houses and see nothing. But I know something about the conscience of this town, and I am sure It will not stand for what soma of those men stood. "I do not mean to say that these councllmen who voted for the amend ment are rascals. I , guess those Of them who are fathers are Just as good to their children as I am. But When It comes to- a vote on the -welfare of the people of this town -they vote wrong. "I have come to one of two con clusions, and I am going to glvo them to you in. my own words. We have no hope of a state of decency and civic riithteousness in Portland with the pres ent council, constituted aS it Is with the majority of the vote lined up on the wrong side. We have no hope until the men of the city In favor of civic righteousness ' remember how that vote was. We are to have no hope of a new and better charter unless we get the public sentiment back of the charter, and- unless we have men who are will ing to go on record publicly 'nd pri vately as in favor of clvlo righteous ness..' - t i i UIl'l BSZASTS BSOAPB.
