just It the government tax luxuries,
not necessities.
'The Pacific coast delegates opposed
the reduction of the tax on oleomarga
rine, as this is a dairying country and
the feeling 1 of the delegates was for
standing with the farmers.
"The resolution favoring the Pacific
coast plan of marketing, which was
passed at Boston last year, was carried
even more strongly this year. This pro
vides that the manufacturer fix the sell
ing price to jobbers, to retailers and to
consumers, thus arrordlng a uniform
price to consumers everywhere and pre
venting sacrifice sales of certain goods
to advance other commodities.
."The formation of the Pacific Coast
Grocers' association was another impor
tant action.- This includes the states of
Oregon. Washington. California, Idaho.
Montana, Wyoming. Utah. Arizona, Ne
vada and British Columbia. The presi
dent is J.'R. Newberyy, of Los Angeles,
nd the managing board Is composed of
five delegates from each state.
"Everybody seems satisfied with the
selection of Springfield on account of its
geographical location. Portland would
not expect to have the convention again
for at least five vears.
"There were "185 accredited delegates
and altogether about 600 possibly 600
visitors, including the families of dele
gates, and visitors attracted by the con
vention." A party of retail errocers of this city
is leaving tonight for Seattle, where,
with the eastern delegates, they will be
entertained tomorrow with a boating
trio and Wednesday will be banqueted
and entertained at the A.-T.-P. fair.

COURAGE

INCHDRCHWORK
Rev. Mr. Foulkes Chooses
"An Unwieldy Sceptre"
for His Theme.
At the First Presbyterian church yes
terday morning Dr. William Hiram
Foulkes preached UDon the theme. "An
Unwlelded Scepter,'" taking for his text
Moaun 4:1-0. Me said in part:
The Incident of any text has a deep
er than any oriental meaning. To the
critic it suggests Egyptian magic and
sleight of hand; to our attentive minds
it presents a pfcrpVtual symbol of truth
and power. Moses needed a credential.
He required a symbol by which to tes
tify the reality of his power with Ood
and certalntv of his power, over men.
To supply this need Jehovah took the
rod in Moses' hand and invested it
with peculiar dignity and Interest.
Henceforth it was to appear before
Pharoah, to his discomfiture, to open
the dead sea and by its counterpart in
the hands of Aaron was to become a
talesman of the divine presence
throughout the entire wilderness. At
first, howevor. It was only a rod. It
needed to be wielded before its dignity
appeared.
The great head of the church has giv
en to his representative upon earth a
royal scepter to symbolize her power
with Ood and with men.
To her shame her scepter is still
largely an unwielded scepter. Not of
wieldly station for she still has that
and knows bow to wield it to her own
selfish ends, but of spiritual power and
unselfish service. It sometimes seems
as though "the scepter had departed"
from modern Judah. X-et us understand,
though her scepter Is neither broken
nor lost, neither captured in war1 or
destroyed by fate. Her scepter is only
11 soiargecy, unwieuiea.
Take intercessory prayer, not pray
ers or prayer, but this particular type
ot prayer. It is in a class by itself.
It is not as some flippant critics sug
gest an attempt to move the divine
will, but the putting at the divine dis
posal of our human wills to be used
In the moving of human wills. It Is
the bringing of our barley loaves to
the master for his tultiplylng touch. A
recent editorial in one of our papers
devoted the first column of Its space
to explode the reality of prayer. Apart
from a soothing self-hypnotic effect,
prayer has no meaning, according to
the oracle. What has he done? Only
demonstrated that It has no meaning
for him and that he hopee It has no
meaning for others. From how much
higher sources does the church receive
her assurance of the ideality of her gift
of prayer! Her royal L.ord has put his
own power at her disposal. He has given
her tne scepter of Intercessory prayer.
She has it but so largely she wields
it not.
Another side of this unwielded scepter
Is that of Apostolic witnessing. What
ever else may have been local or tem
porary in ihe Apostolic church, the
duty of witnessing was intended to be
permanent. A witnessing church Is a
living church. How many churches
there are and how many church mem
bers there are who never go upon the
witness stand for Jesus t hrlst. Yet
he is, as S. I. Gordon says in his talks
on service, "Counting on them. He
hasn't made any other plans."
A third aspect of the unwielded scep
ter Is that in which It looks like a
sword. It Is the "sword of the spirit
which is the word of Ood." Criticism
has only served to sharpen the edge
of the sword. Even the written word
is the most popular book In the world
today. Yet the sword is so larjrelv
unwielded. in the home, in the pulpit
If the church cannot persuade the
world of her imperial dignity, let her
take up the scepter of the word of
God and learn anew how to wield it.
The rinal phase of this unused token
of royalty is that of virile faith. "The
unwielded scepter of masculine Chris
tianity" as a speaker at the recent gen
eral assembly put it,
'i'hsra is such a scepter. Men are in
the church and of it. Many men and
the best of men.' though not all of
them. Tet the church is not wielding
her virile, masculine strength. She has
been using the gentler rod of womanly
devotion to the everlasting credit of
the women: but to the equal ahame of
the men. ,
The modern fraternal spirit, in the
form of a dozen lodges and orders says
to the church, "Give me your scep
ter," and the church sits either idly
or indifferently by and sees her own
sceptar wlolded by other hands.
If masculine Christianity could only
be put at the disposal of the church
and used by her. how changed would
be the conditions of modern life. Though
there would still be a fight in civic
life, t would be an open one. It would
be a straight fight between light and
darkness, '.nt with an unwielded scep
ter, her ranks are split by personal
ambitions and interests. In the face
of a church that is afraid of Its own
voice, vice lifts its hideous head, tri
umphant. If masculine Christianity could he
wielded as a scepter to bring men to
Christ, the etory of .Korea would not
appear miraculous but inevitable.
i..e expectant Lord is challenging his
faint hearted ambassador. "Gird thy
sword on thy thigh!" he admonishes
her. Take up the scepter of Interces
sory prayer.. Apostolic witnessing, Bible
teaching, masculine Christianity, and
wield It with courage and dignity. Then
even the dead sea of unbelief shall roll
back as before Moses" rod of old. Thy
enemies sh.ilt be put to rout as the
KitVDtlans. When thy generation shall
have been gathered to its fathers, thy
scepter shall be stored up In the ark
of my remembrance like "Vlaron's rod
that "budded." as a perpetual reminder
of thy faith and obedience.

Woman's most glorious endowment is the power
to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of
worthy man. When she loses it and still laves on,
no one in the wide world eaa Know the heart agony

a man. Her general health suffers and she loses
her ood looks, her attractiveness . her amiability
and her power and prestige st womsn. Dr. R. V. Pieree, of Buffalo, N.Y., with
