The one interesting feature of today's meeting of the ' Portland Methodist Ministers' association was an extended address by Bishop C. W. Smith, in which he gave an account of his recent trip to the east where he attended half a dozen or more meetings of the more important Methodist boards and com mittees, ' rt' Bishop Smith is one of a committee composed of Dr. W. W. Evans, Dr. Cook, book editor of - the Methodist general confereneerJustlce Anderson of the su preme court of the District of Colum bia; Justice Raymond, of the Massa chusetts supreme court; R. T. Miller of Cincinnati, and Bishop Smith, which was created by the last general con ference for the purpose of reorganlalng uie judicial and trial procedure of the church. Bishop Smith told of the meet ing of this committee at Washington City and briefly outlined its work. He characterized the present trial proced ure in the, church as bunglesoroe and out of date and predicted that if the report of the reorganization committee Is adopted and its suggestions accepted that that portion of the constitution of the church would be greatly simplified". While in Washington Bishop Smith delivered an address im the life and work of the late Senator Dolllver at memorial meeting held in the Founders church of which Senator Dolllver was a prominent member. He also attended a meeting of the Methodist blshoDa. reviewing the administration of the church throughout the country. After finishing his work in Washing ton Bishop Smith- attended a meeting In Baltimore of the general committee on foreign missions. The bishop ex pressed keen disappointment at the re sult of the year's work of the church In collecting money for foreign mis sions. "I expected that the report of the treasurer of the general committee on foreign missions would show a sur plus for the year of at least $200,000." said he, "'while the report shows that it was with the utmost difficulty that sufficient money was raised to carry on the work laid out at the meeting of the committee hold one year ago," It seems that the laymen's missionary movement of which so, much was ex pected, failed to meet the expectations of its organisers. Bishop Smith re ported that the Freedmen's Aid society a meeting of which he attended at Phil adelphia, is in excellent financial con dltlon. a debt of $250,000 having been practically wiped Out In the last three years. One of the most interesting features of Bishop Smith's report was an account of a visit of all the hlshopa gathered at Washington to the home at Orange. N.

Bishop Bowman is known to the older Methodists in this city, as he pre sided at two conferences held In the Taylor Street church nearly 30 years ago.

':tr':-ii Dr. Harry Leeds, pastor of Mlspah Presbyterian church, read a most Inter esting; paper at the regular weekly meet ing of the Presbyterian pastors, neia this morning at the First Presbyterian church. Twelfth and Alder streets, his subject being "The Quest of the SouC" Prior to'the regular order of business, L N. McClure, field representative of the ministerial sustentatlon fund, ad dressed the meeting, setting forth the object of the funl Mr. McClure stated that the general assembly had sanctioned the methods of raising he moneys for the fund. He asked the cooperation of the Presbyte rian ministers and the matter will oome up before a meeting for action. There was a representative gathering or min isters and no objections Were raised to the fund. Announcement is to be made from the various Presbyterian pulpits on different Sundays. The plan is to raise money by subscription from lay men to make up to per cent of the dis ability fund, the remaining 0 per oent to be contributed by the pastors them selves. The object of the fund Is to provide annuities for disabled minis ters, beginning at thfe age of 70 years for ministers who have served the church for 80 years. The annuity amounts to $600. Dr. Leeds said in part: "Our method of search is not histor ical, nor Is it scientific in the strict sense, but rather a search along the several trails which offer any possi bility of reward in the end. "The preexlstence of the soul is a fa miliar sentence to students of theology. According to this, all human souls were created in the beginning and before the creation, of ' man. preexlstence' takes the quest altogether out of the sphere of biology. Generation qt the body only Is recognised. "Following the call of physiology as far as physiology can take us, we find no' other ground upon which to rest the basis of the body's vital energies than simply the peculiar chemical combina tions of physical elements. "In endeavoring to determine the na ture of the soul we find It a purely philosophical search and the field Is" In the stream of consciousness arising out Of the contact of bodily sense organs to contiguity with the eternal world of sense objects. "The soul as a real being has been held to be a stable point in which fac ulties Inhere and by which they are as sociated or united. That stable point Is the real substanoe.' "I do not believe that the content of the soul or mind Is deposited or stored In the matter of the brain, From what I have been able to gather the brain state is a temporary thing only, the mind or soul or person holds before lt Belf in attention the object conveyed from the environment, passes Judgment upon it ahd subsumes It under general consciousness, making It a part of Its own mental life." REALTY DEALER FALLS DEAD Else Vandermeer, aged 48 years, a prominent real estate dealer of Sell wood, dropped dead into the "arms of Paul Lancy, this morning at the corner of Thirteenth street and Spokane avenue, Just after leaving a drugstore, where he had gone to purchase a cold cure.

W. N. Gatens, judge of the juvenile court, in an address delivered before the congregation of th First Congre gational church last night, stated that the causes of juvenile delinquency coul;3 be attributed to six things, namely: poverty, neglect of parents, divorce, lack of moral training tn home ami school and. the existing marriage laws. He emphatically stated that the reform school does not reform the boy any more than does the penitentiary tho man. Judge Gatens in speaking -of the re lationship of parent and child said: "I think parents should ImpreaiL upone the child Its good qualities, appealing to its pride and not continually telling it its bad. habits. Boys should be en- i courage, not discouraged. Fathers i should make companions of them as much as possible and try to get them to bring their troubles home without fear, for remember, that tyranny is the father . of treason." "I think that moving picture thea tres, though Interesting and Instructive, too often show pictures of the pranks of bad boys, of burglary and highway rob bery; scones which are highly demoralis ing "The boy who visits the moving pic ture show and sees these things soon looks lightly upon the seriousness of such crimes with the result that he Is apt to Imitate the pranks displayed and soon finds ' himself In serious trouble, '.these scenes in the moving pioture shows should 'not be permitted." Dr. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of the church, spoke along the lines of the Big Brother movement. He said that the bfg' brother idea was purely non sect&rlan. He stated that there was enough good In the worst boy to make a good man. He appealed for 400 men to Join in the Big Brother movement, ' to the end that the boy might be up lifted and placed in the. way . to .grow to' an honorable manhood.
