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

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.

The Christian religion
does not isolate and exempt its adher

tnings is tne joy or tne lora abiding in

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

One is not in the world merely to enjoy

BAR WOMEN FROM CAFES
BtjxmX Drink Not for Weaker Sex,
Last night at the Hawthorne Park
Presbyterian church Rev. 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. I believe that if the ordinance

HILL SUBMITS
AlfNLIAL REPORT
Hairy Millions Spent by
Great Northern on
. ' Kew Lines.
It cost James J. 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

In the renort of President Louis W.

enue was decreased tl.838.Q0O from that
of last year, the gross operating rev-

ordinance were placed before the' voter
of tne community it wouia - do voted
down. - :
"T am not censuring our counclmen
as being incompetent workers. . triui tne
question is, 'Shall there be civic right
eousness, snail laws do maae to con
serve the -interest of tho area test num
ber, or shall the laws- be made in the
Interest -of the -degraded element? 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
